Always remember life is without a problem, never without difficulty, never without hurtful moments, but never without God to lean on.

It's all over
It has been a tough week. Really... All my term tests suck big time. Not expecting to do well or even get the desired results. But I'm glad that it has all come to an end, and shall just move on with life.
His gone
Lots of sacians & ex-sacians blogged about it this entire week. Our school's legendary man has left the school, left this world, left us. Received sms about his departure on Monday morning, and was kinda shocked to know about it. But am glad that the night before he died, i included him in my prayers. He loves his profession as a PE teacher. He would align the class in 10 rows, from shortest to the tallest for lessons. The way he tortured us with countless push-ups, sit-ups, berpis, was unforgettable. How he would make us run up and down the school hall, from basketball court to the canal and back, up and down the whole school. At times, he would give us pep talks about big and small things in life. Some people would just choose to hide in the toilets and escape his lesson, as much as possible. Many times, he would catch girls for stuff like, long nails, loose laces, inappropriate attire blah blah blah... And he can spend hours lecturing a person alogn the corridor and make them cry. Also, how we are always afraid of seeing him, and would try to stay as far as possible from where he is. I'd probably will remember how girls would curse him to die, or would ask when will he retire so that he needn't torture us anymore...
Though i'm not as close to him compared to his gym and tennis girls, it still saddens me to know that, a teacher who once taught and touched the lives of many has departed for eternal life. I still remembered when i was in secondary 1, he caught me in class for sitting the other way round on the chair, and was asked to stand till the next teacher came. In the same year, he called those small-sized people to try out gym for a couple of months. Then in my last year in SAC, he caught me wearing home shorts before i ran my 2nd 2.4km. Had to run in school on a Monday morning, so the data could be entered into the system. And when i got back the record, my 2.4 timing wasn't updated! Gave it back to him to update it, expecting that he would give me a new record, but it never happened. I have no record for my final year.
All these, would just have to be memories. SAC would probably be different without him around. And, it's always the same old thing people say when someone's gone. "We only know how to appreciate someone when they're no longer around."
Mr Quah, we'll be happy as long as you're happy in heaven. May you rest in peace.
