A Heart-warming Day

Received an unexpected but pleasing message while having holiday class in the school this morning!
It's from Fung Ming, my old boy from SJKC Ldg Pengkalan Bukit, the first school I went to when I first started my teaching career, hoping that we could meet and have lunch together.
How very excited I was to be able to hear from him again since I last heard from him when he rang me up from Malacca after getting straight A's for his PMR, and we haven't seen each other since he left the school.

Fung Ming came to the school to fetch me for lunch when my class ended at noon.
We were really glad to meet with each other again after around 18 years we were separated, and what a matured, smart, humble, compassionate, loving and wise young man he has become now!
We had lunch together and shared lots of the nostalgic memories of those happy and peaceful days while we were learning together in the estate. We were thankful to each other for having a really good time together in the past. We talked about how we prepared for the story telling contest together, how he used to get first place in the class for the school exams as there were only three of them in the class, ha!
How very comfortable and heart-warming it was to hear him sharing his life experience and wisdom with me! And from the achievement of his career at his age, I am sure he has been striving really hard and he has really made me proud of him! 

Thank you boy for your most heart-warming visit, you have really made my day, all the best to you in your career and may your family be blessed forever...
