Love you Ms Ek! :)

Although I had to tackle my final paper for this sem in the afternoon today, I still decided to spend the morning at my secondary school(rv) at the boon lay campus.

I guess Ms Ek's just as important as my exams! :)

Special thanks to Mr Choy Ban Heng who informed me about the farewell for Ms Ek today.

Admittedly, I was rather affected when I found out that Ms Ek is being posted out of RV. I couldn’t concentrate 100 percent when I was studying for my sociology paper the next day. Being the emotional person I am, I felt totally awful.

She's been really the best ever principal whom I’ve come in touch with and probably the most caring one ever. Although most of my time in RV was one filled with joy, there were also periods where I felt so down, especially when I didn’t fare well academically for a particular year where absolutely too many unwanted things occurred and zoomed out of my control. She stood by me and gave me the encouragements which I really really needed at that point of time. With the exception of her and a handful of other teachers, no one else really stood by me. But what really touched me were Ms Ek’s words. They were filled with genuine love and concern, something which even my parents didn’t give me during that time. In fact, my parents were wet blankets at that time. The support shown by Ms Ek and that little handful of teachers helped me pull through that tough period, especially Ms Ek’s.

And of course not forgetting, she’s been with RV for a long 10 years(something most principals wouldn’t have the chance to). Throughout my 4 years in RV, out of which 3 years were when Ms Ek was the principal(my first year was Mr Tham). I’ve seen how much heart and soul she put in although many of my friends complain about her(well, mostly for no valid reason at all! Haha!) Really.

Anyway, today’s farewell was just a simple one in the new rv campus at boon lay. But it was so touching that I cried when the powerpoint messages were being screened. Then there were the speeches by my dear vice principal Ms Soh Kah Lay who cried halfway through. After which, we had the flower presentation to Ms Ek and then the mini lunch buffet.

Me and qingyue prepared a little gift for Ms Ek beforehand so we passed it to her after the ceremony was over. It was just a simple gift of chocolates but I hope she’ll like it.

Ms Ek’s leaving of RV is really one that is bittersweet. I guess it’s good for her to join moe hq and of course I’m sure she’ll enjoy her future journey but at the same time, it’s really sad to see her leave. Some of the teachers were tearing today too. That should be enough to show how lovely she is.

Love you Ms Ek!
