My time at Kumon...

I should've posted this post two days ago, but I've been a busy man. Enlistment is tomorrow, and I've been doing some last minute shopping/packing/hair cutting. So, guys, sorry for the late post! This is dedicated to you people at Kumon whom I've met and been with for 8-9 months.

Think I'll go with a individual thanks to each and every single one of you I know. Might leave people out by accident, so don't kill me over this! Let NS do it instead.

Colleagues:


Mr Yang: Big Boss! You've been a good employer for all this time. I don't really talk to you often, but my impression is that you can be scary at times when you're angry, although it's only towards the students. However, I can tell that you have the students'  best interests in heart, and I highly respect you for that. Good luck in your endeavours!

Elaine: The “大姐大” of the centre. You sort of represent an elder sister persona I don't really have. It's always great talking with you and joking, along with everyone else. Stay nice, send my regards to Wiz. And thanks for the shirt. It's awesome.  Will keep in contact!

Uncle Yang: You're probably the eldest friend I have. Always joking with me, sharing advice and giving me wise words. Take care!

Aunty Nancy: You were probably the nicest person I ever known so far, always offering a helping hand to all of us in need. I'm very grateful to you. Take care of yourself, Aunty Nancy! Thanks for the sushi treat back then. =)

Vivian: Hi Vivian, you're the first person I really know apart of KY and Leslie in the centre, since you're my mentor. My first impression of you is the silent, mature person, and I didn't really talk to you much earlier on. But I know that you're a friendly individual who's always helpful, and we sort of became friends eventually. Stay awesome. =) Keep in contact!

KY: Ah, basket, no need say so much about you. Always tell me I'm some weird animal every single time. Will without doubt hang out with you even more than usual. Ciao. =]

Leslie: Late night suppers with you after work last time was always enjoyable. Too bad you "vanished" soon after. Take care, man. Meet up for a meal of something when I book out.

Henry: First time I met you was during dinner when KY intro-ed you to me. Pretty nice guy, and we became familiar with one another when we were moving centres, when you started making fun of me like KY. Was a pity you left early. Stay cool.

Evelyn: Very nice person to talk to, friendly, and always smiling. I always enjoyed chatting with you at random moments. Sort of a little surprise when we later realised we both came from Pei Hwa. Hope to see you around randomly around this small island again!

Valerie: I didn't really talk much with you before, but we worked together during the centre moving. It was funny seeing you and Henry design the "maze table system", which is being used till now. Good luck out there!

Anna: Chatting with you was always pleasant, and we would share some jokes, while you would give me little advices about NS, since your son is still in. Take care!

Xue Hui: I've only seen and talked to you for once or twice, and I can feel that you're the peppy, nice person.  Well, most people I know from SMA are like that. Stay nice, and see you around!

Yao Cong: First time I met you, you had the grumpy grumpy face on, so I thought "Oh, I better don't mess with this guy", but after that, hanging out several times with you, I find out that you're easy to talk to, and also very friendly. "Cong-ge aka Admin Manager-Dream-On", take care, and see you around!

Kang Hao: Hao-ge! Sort of became friendlier with you after graduation, since both of us are working on almost every working day. It's cool to talk to me, and sometimes make fun of you a bit as well. Now you're in NS. Take care, and don't overwork yourself in there!

Peck Har: Started talking to you after I always started marking, while you did Liberal. Best impression of you was when you replaced me once. Another impression is when you came in with Seoul Garden smell, only to be made fun of by me. Thanks. Stay nice, see you around!

Poh Ling: I know you as the girl with a phobia of lizards, and imitating your screams are the best entertainment outlet I could have. Ok, joking, stay friendly, see you around!

Wei Fang: First impression of you is that you are helpful and friendly. You always try to help when possible, and also engage in small conversations. Take care, and hope to see you about!



I'd like to talk about my students, but on second thought, it's not good to disclose children's names in a public blog. Plus, I'm lazy. Take care, everyone. Hope to bump into any of you, somewhere, sometime. Stay handsome/pretty/sharp/nice/friendly. =)
