My E.Maths Teacher

I went to Mrs Anna Tham's place with the girls today.. she was the ex principal of MGS and also my Guide teacher.. We had a conversation..

Me: Oh! you know.. the other time when I was in SGH I saw this lady who looked like Mrs Moses Yew. I didnt dare to say hi although I really wanted to.. but I was afraid that I might be mistaken because this lady wasnt as plump as the Mrs Yew I remembered.. (I have always missed Mrs Yew and her popiah)

Mrs Tham: Could she walk?

Me: The lady was on a wheelchair and a man was pushing her..

Mrs Tham: That could probably be her. She couldnt really walk and she was admited to SGH and that man was probably her husband. She had multiple myeloma and she passed away recently. 16th March.

Me: (I was speechless)

The first thing that hit me was.. oh my god.. I SHOULD have said hi..

Mrs Yew has always been this jolly E.Maths teacher who appeared to be stern in class but she is really, a very nice person with a good heart. She always has this rosy cheeks. There was one time when she invited all the 4A4 scholars over to her place for popiah (which was really good).. We had such a wonderful time with her.. and we had so much fun with her old tortoise car.. she gave us a couple of rounds of lifts to and fro our boarding school to her place..

Now I really miss her.. I should have said hi.. I really should.. I guess that will be one regret that will remain with me for the longest time..
