Dear Bon Hian,
I could single out that you make the best MC, saying the right thing at the right time and calling things to order. You did just that last Saturday. Well done.
Never in my mind did I dream that it would happen but yes, it did. Thank you to each and everyone of you. Now I will have a lot more to add into my 'happy moments' collection.
Thirty eight years did not seem very long after all. Everyone of you is now a personality of your own, a husband, a wife; a father, a mother; an example, an icon. It depends where you have the greater scope of influence. You were my students at a time when I was just a few years older than all of you and now you are my friends. I am very happy to see what you have all achieved and I feel humbled.
It makes me realise that the 43 years I have put into this vocation have not been 'unproductive'. I am greatly inspired, motivated and rejuvenated.
There are still many more of you who are somewhere out there. Ai Lay, Janet, Kim Chuan, your goodself and some of the others have done a fantastic job. It is just the beginning. In time, more will be connected and as we approach this stage of our lives, every time we get together we recharge one another and bring back youthfulness to all.
Do allow me to thank all of you again for the wonderful gesture, the fine gifts and most of all the kindness and respect you have bestowed upon me. I will always remember them. My wish now is that the time will come when all of you will have this same gratitude and appreciation bestowed upon you.
Cheers!

Mr Chow,
Thank you for your kind words. Of all our teachers at BPES, I would not be wrong to say that you made the deepest impression and had the biggest impact on our young minds and lives then. We are all the wiser and richer for having known you in those early years. The pleasure is ours.
Rgds,
Bon
