From 1994 to 2012, 18 years of formal education, I was taught and under the guidance of not less than 50 teachers/lecturers/professors... All of them shaped 'the me' I am today in a way or another (some of them more than the others, of course)... All of them taught me all the things that I've learnt. Some tolerated my nonsenses; some unearthed my leadership potential; some supported me unconditionally; and some guided to the path that I had took...

I started my primary school education marked as 'being different' from others by having a small peice of cloth pinning on my right sleeve, as an indication that my dad had just passed away. (Yes! I went through my whole 18 years of formal education without my dad staying by my side...) I used to hate this fact, and hated even more of the questions form teachers asked at the start of the academic year with regards to family status. I was always the minority, and the only one most of the time, who raised my hand when they questioned who are in single-parent family. And I had to answer that my dad had passed away every year! And I will always tear as I was being reminded of him...

I ended my primary school life as being quite rebellious in school. Being a hot tempered person, I would stomped out of classes when I was angry or feeling down. The teachers couldn't stop me from it, even though they had counselled me everytime I did it. On top of that, me and my friends would read magazines and/or have snacks right at the back of the class when our teachers were teaching. Thinking back, I only had 1 chinese character to describe the me at that time, 跩! Breaking rules but having good results, made me uncontrollable in school. On the other hand, I had always offered help to my peers and teachers when they needed them, which makes my teachers both like and hate me.

*To Mr Sebastian, Ms Tan, Mrs Zaini, Mdm Siak and Mr Chee: Sorry for all the nonsenses that I had gave. Your tolerances and counsels are appreciated and I had stopped being rebellious after leaving primary school. And my temper had also been better.. Thank You~*

I had a love-hate relationship with my secondary school life. I met good teachers and friends there. The teachers were really supportive, bringing me to greater heights.I had a taste of assuming a leadership position in my CCA. Helping out with organizing events and at the same time, learning and getting to know my own ethnic(chinese) culture. Involving in productions, raising the ladder from the small fry who picked up props to actress to script-wrinting and directing.

English and humanities had became my worst nightmare as my results were boarderline passes. Struggling to get just a pass for them. Being overweight, I was outcasted by a group of classmates, always saying/writing hurtful words to me. But the teachers were always there to help.

*To Mrs Wong, Ms Ho and 黄老师: All of you had been supportive and had urged me to greater heights academically and personal being. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and played a part in my education life. 薛老师，喻琳老师：在你们的身上学了很多关于中文文化。谢谢你们的提拔，谢谢你们给我的机会以及信任。*

I went into polytechnic not because I want to, but because my 'O' levels were not great enough to bring me JC. I thought that most of the people would have the same mentality as mine but was soon turned over. On my first day, I already realized that most people went in because they choose to and most of their L1R5 can put them safely into a decent JC. And soon, I also realized that poly is not as easy as people thought as compared to JC. Although we played games and watched shows, we also had to juggle between a few projects each semester on top of the midterms and exams. Hearing JC students saying 'at most go poly only' would have sparked anger as they have no idea the hardships we went through. The lecturers were friendly and appraochable. They are more than willing to share their experiences and know-how of the industries when we questioned about our future...

*To all the lecturers in NP CBE: Thank you for your guidance and experience sharing. All of you made me to take a liking towards Chemical Engineering. It's a regret that my results unable me to pursue Chemical Engineering degree in Singapore during back then.*

Joining CBC was my second best choice after CBE.I cannot deny that I as tough at the beginning, as it is different from what I studied back in only. It was also depressing as no close friends had actually joined rank with me to study in CBC. But the lecturers that we met in our first year makes it easy for us to cope by making the lectures more lively. Gradually things get difficult but the professors are approachable when we were in doubts.

*To all NTU CBC professors: Thank you for your guidances in the past 4 years.*

Not to forget, the 2 wonderful attachments I had had., Nestlé for the poly ones and ICES for my uni ones. I've learned a lot from the perm staffs in these 2 companies, in both theoretical and actual aspects, as well as the overall social being and working attitude.

*To Mr Heng, Mr Lim, Daniel, Hock Suan and all the lab techs, process techs and SPTs in Nestlé: Thank you for giving me a chance to work with all of you and learn so many different things, most of them are way beyond the curriculum of what is taught in poly. And also giving me the flexibility to move around to different groups to enhance my learning in Nestlé. To Dr Zhu and Algin(my mentor): Thank you for everything. Having patience with me, giving me a rare chance to rite book chapter. And all the moments spent in lab were great. And of course, providing me a platform to be able to successfully join back ICES after my graduation as a perm staff.

I may not be an outstanding student and not even close to being a role model. But I've finished my 18 years of formal education with the help of all these teachers, lecturers, professors, supervisors and mentors. Not to forget also, all the friends I've made along the way. All of you had taught me a thing or two and so 'HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY' to all of you... =D
