My first tear drops sincerely, for a teacher.

Unexpectedly, for the first time he rejected us for our request on delay the assignment deadline. 

He said: "Sorry guys, but I really can't make it..."

We thought it was just something to do with college policy... Until today... 

He said: "Guys, I don't know how to tell you guys about this, and I don't know how you guys gonna handle on this..."

We said excitedly: "Is it good news or bad news sir? Sounds like very good news or very bad news?"

He finally said: "I'm gonna end my job here very soon... I'm going to further study on my PHD, in Hong Kong. It takes around 3 years."

Our mood suddenly went down... Went very very down...

He is the best lecturer I've ever had. I can't express how good he is, with my own words... He is just SO GOOD, EXTREMELY GOOD. He's like taking the role of our dad in the college...

This decision had been made months ago. He was offered with the course with scholarship half a year ago, and he was asked to start attend the class on June. He persists to leave only when he finished all his teaching syllabus for all of his classes in this semester, and he persists to tell us only when he finished all his syllabus with us. He was rushing in his teaching all these days... 

He said, he almost wanted to tell us yesterday, when we requested for delay on assignment due date... and he added on, :"But if I told yours before I finished all the teaching syllabus, it is not so good..." He afraid that he will influence our mood of learning in class... 

He even said: "Don't break me with yours crying faces, (his hand touching on his heart...) I hope you guys to be happy. I hope to see you guys smiling and happy, on the last day I'm here."

I'm sad, for he's leaving SOOOO soon. The words he gave today, were so touched. It's the first time, I got this feeling on any teacher, any lecturer; it's the first time, my tear drops sincerely on a teacher, a lecturer... (previously during farewell when all people were crying I  have to squish some tears out from my eyes and pretend to cry too, although I didn't really feel anything... Hahas!) But for this time, this feeling is from the bottom of my heart.

Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS, SIR. I know you will use your wider knowledge in benefiting others in the future for sure, no doubt.

One more week to go before you're leaving... Appreciate the moment we could gather, until the last minute. On the last day you're here, I will TRY to smile, on my best.

I won't forget you, for my whole life. I hope you're happy too, for your entire life... C:
