A dedication to Ms Chia

For the very first time in my life, i shed a tear in lecture hall while having our very last Biotechnology II lecture at DKX just now.... can't help it, and nope, my distorted emotion is not due to elevated estrogen hormone. i'm just touched, so touched.

Do you ever knew some lecturer that will stay at college until 9pm? Do you ever receive a call from your lecturer just to ensure that you have safely reach your home? Do you ever know some lecturer that would made extra tutorial and lecture just to make sure that his/her student would able to learn as much as they can? i know one, she is Miss chia, the most committed, dedicated, caring lecturer that i have ever met.

Just now, she is having this last words with all of us, humor us with all those Biotech terms in her speech, eg. "it's fun to teach all of you, like PCR, it has 'amplified' my happiness too." , " i think all of u are 'mutated' and will never be the same as the person entered this lecture hall four years back.", "it's like 'Hybridization', you find your own clique and friends while study here', "treat your DNA gently, cuz life is fragile.".... it's so damned BIOTECH.

But, she also touches my heart by saying that we are her favorite class in her whole teaching life and she glad that she is able to teach us the subject.... i'll surely remember her principle for the rest of my life, (cuz' that's when i realized my cheeks are wet):

"Have A (attitude), always do your B(best) and C (committed) to whatever you are doing."

i'll never forget her generosity, the time when she spent hours counseling and advice me regarding my further studies in Proteomics, smiling so sincerely every time i greeted her....

Nearly flooded by my own tears until someone at the back shouted: "miss chia, we love you!" and everyone laugh and clap nonstop for the next few minutes...the whole tranquility changes from something very serious and sad to joy and happiness. i mean, i like this whole farewell thing to be more happy instead of sad cuz' it's good to know that although we are leaving this college soon, but at this second, this minute, this very moment, everyone will cherished and remember it for the rest of their life.

Thank you, miss chia, i love you too.

some one remembers my birthday each year,
some one brings me 'cool tea' when i fall sick,
some one calls me early morning to wish me luck for my presentation,
some one never tireless to answer my stupid and endless questionsssssss...
some one can see through me when i'm in bad mood,
some one never complain my hand writing,
some one stay with me and chat about life...etc,
some one willing to share her stories with me to boost my spirit,
some one likes to buy sweat to me,
some one teachs me lots about biology,
some one seldom say 'no' to students,
some one reachs my hand, touchs my heart, builds my soul.

Ah lok, Tammy and the rest of ACB2 friends,

TAR college maybe not the best place that i wanna be, but still, it's the people there that are so great that makes me really feel so sad when i knew i have to leave TARC one day.Lecturer like miss Chia and others really dedicated their whole life to their students, and i knew that i can never pay it back with a thousand bucks a semester. Really feel thankful to be there with my coursemate at that time, at that very moment. Glad that you guys share the same feeling with me...

Having the same feeling like you, and perhaps most of us are so touched by miss chia's words. Just one thing in my mind, I feel heavy to leave this college, all our lovely and dedicated lecturers, all my beloved friends, and all the happy moment that we have in this not too big but full of love TARC! I can't remember how many times I have failed to control my tears glands whenever I think of leaving.....dear Susan and all my friends in ACB2, best of luck and I gonna miss you all...
