New job scope: Attending weddings...

Eileen's church wedding on 31 May and dinner on 1 Jun 2009


A teacher's job is never done... attending students' weddings is all part of the job :)


It's a great feeling to be able to witness the wedding of my students whom I have seen grow up, to be part of their joy.
The spate of wedding attendance started with Betty and Chee Kiat's end of last year. They have known each other since secondary school days and they have finally tied the knot. Both of them belong to the last form class I took before moving on to the polytechnic.
Then it was Weiming's wedding. I don't know Geraldine but she sure is a lucky girl. Weiming was my drum major when I was in charge of the band and I still remember him as a little boy wearing shorts... and now he's a husband!
The most recent wedding was Eileen's and Matthew's. Eileen was my very first class rep when I joined the polytechnic. She is very forthright and candid and I remember her for that and even in her wedding gown, she still looks and behaves the same.
And there is more to come...
