In Meme-oriam
Here's a meme that's propagated from two pearls of great price...
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don’t speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want — good or bad. When you’re finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.
Heh.

I remember sitting in Hans after a day of research (or that was our aim anyway) in the library. You had too much coffee and your hands were shaking. And we were laughing at Karan, the professed vegetarian, eating chicken.
Such were the times of the library gang.
I remember you, Keong, and Alf sitting by the Barker Road canteen hawking your wares, a now defunct magazine.
The first thing that popped into my mind was that last EE meeting that got prematurely terminated...
The first and the best impression I had was when you gave the talk about the school, its tradition and history. =)
got to be the day that i broke the pipette and shuff it into my thumb area. 1st time in sir's teaching history i assume haah
How amusing. My first impressions were formed from all kinds of second-hand accounts, but the strongest impression is also your talk about the school, but perhaps a more recent edition.
Plus the director's introduction of you just before that, and the extremely positive remarks from the students afterwards.
Jul 2004. You walked past my old cube which was next to the door, picked up my Creative Zen player and started extolling the virtues of Apple and why I need an iTrip - I was 2 months from a driving licence and a car!
I remember you popping your head into the music room on recognising an english folk tune and then walking out singing it loudly to yourself haha
I remember you smirking and grinning weirdly to yourself upon being greeted loudly in the sac by a complete stranger. Haha
The first thing I thought of was hanging about with you, Daryl and Cielo (and maybe some others?) during one of the breaks in between exams at the end of last year.
You were talking about the wonders of coffee and of a lovesick boy who wrote sad messages on the walls of the canteen of his school every morning for more than a year...
2007. When you came to our class and taught us about the three-dimensional perspectives that graphic novels provides for readers. Haha.
It was right after one of the first practicals in sec 3.
You asked me to arrange a stack of practical worksheets according to register number and asked me what algorithm I used to arrange it was. I replied that I had no algorithm.
Then while sorting it, I suddenly became aware that not only was I using an algorithm but I also became aware of what the algorithm was.
when you gave me A Scientific Romance when you were cleaning out your collection of books.
thanks! im still reading it.
"Why is the garden full of footballs?" story. Year 3 IP, POD lecture.
there's the "what makes acs distinctly acs" speech, the innumerable chapel hymn singing. and then there is the ridiculous pun-making and innuendo at every innocuous thing said!
I was doing an O-level Volumetric Analysis exercise and was one-drop away from getting an accurate reading. It was Manganese (IV) Oxide vs some reducing agent, can't remember. You said "AIYAH, JUST WHACK IT AH", at which point My entire flask went black. You looked embarrassed, mumbled something I don't remember in an effort to console me and wandered off.
I recall helping you move those boxes from one end of the boarding school to another. Then finding out this year that the moving was partly in vain.
November 2006. At a 2-day TOK workshop in ACS (for which BTS kindly released me for half a day, on the grounds I could not be spared further. I returned 'home' in the afternoon to sleep my way through an SMDC meeting.) I remember thinking, This chap's a bit clever. He will bear watching. And I was right.
I remember the start of sec 3 when you came in and taught us stoichem for our first lesson. I so nearly gave up on chem that day... thankfully I didn't, haha.
OH NO. I don't know if you still check this post for comments, but just in case you do, here's what I remember -
Weirdly enough, it's our MSN convos that I cannot forget. I don't know if you know this, but you really taught me so much and changed me through them. All the stuff that we went through stays with me today. You found me in bad time and you helped me through it and beyond. Thank you :)
Don't ask me why, but I always remember your "see mun" hairstyle.
the soccer ball.. yes I bet you remember :P
the many times where you came into class with only a white board marker and worked wonders
To the students : agree with all your impressions, and having been his schoolmate more than 25 years ago, he was just as humourous and witty then.
