Today, I will be writing a letter to someone who may not have been the closest to me, but had definitely impacted my life in so many ways. I shall not be naming her.
Dear xx,
By the time I post this, you would have left already. Being the person I am, I could not say much to you when I visited you, so here I am, writing this letter to you, hoping that you would be able to receive it well.
Thank you for all your guidance and support when you had taught me in Year 1. It had been really difficult year for me, attempting to adapt to the new school and new environment back then, but having you as my form teacher made that so much easier. You filled my school life with joy and fun. You were so full of energy, and so, so kind towards me. I didn't like school then, but you had always made my bad days slightly better.
Despite your condition, you had still taught us animatedly, livening up lessons with all your funny jokes and really cute drawings. You had helped me so much back then, and I wouldn't know how I would be like now if I didn't have such a supportive teacher like you.
I still remember, when I was in Year 1, I needed to relay to you important personal family matters that had occurred just before the year end exams, and I had broken down into tears while talking to you. Yet, you were still so understanding, and had comforted me. This incident had really touched my heart in so many ways then, and I was so thankful to have you as my teacher.
When I first heard about your condition, I was so shocked. How could such a selfless person experience so much pain throughout her life? But yet, you were still so positive about life, and filled with such bright hope for the future. You had fought, and pushed on so hard. Not many could possess the same amount of determination that you had throughout this entire journey. But unfortunately, determination was not enough. No one could have the energy to persevere on for that long. Everything has to come to an end at some point in time.
I will miss everything. From your quirky character, to the personal letters that you wrote to every student, to the incomplete one-to-one talks that you had planned to have. You were one of the best teachers that I had. Because of you, it had ignited a passion in me for the subject that you had taught. Even after entering Year 3 and changing subject combinations, I had still chosen to take that subject, and had been doing well in that subject for the past 3 years. I hope I had done you proud.
Although you do not remember who I am anymore, I still thank you, for everything that you had done for me, and for everyone. You had impacted and inspired so many people around you, and everyone is really grateful to have met someone like you. You had been so strong. So, so strong. Although I may not share the same religion as you, I will still be praying for you in my own way, for you to be able to take your leave without any worries, fears, or pain.
I am glad to be given the chance to meet you, and speak to you one last time. I hope you had felt the gratefulness that I had towards you when I visited. If not, I hope this letter be able to convey it.

Thank you, and rest well.

Album of the Week:
BTS - 화양연화 Pt. 2 (The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Pt. 2)
Genre: Hip-hop, Dance, R&B, Korean-pop
Language: Korean
This is probably one of the very very few albums which I had really liked all the songs in their album. This is a full album consisting of 9 songs, and they range from hip-hop songs to R&B songs. Each song has their own unique features, which make every song sound really good. One special trait about BTS' albums is that they usually add intros, interludes and outros to their albums. I don't have much to say, just that it is a well-made album :)
My favourite songs are the last two tracks, 고엽 (Autumn Leaves) and Outro: House of Cards.

On a Lighter Note:
I am back from my vacation to New Zealand!! New Zealand is a really picturesque country I wish I could stay there for a while more :(
Although it is currently the holidays, I am unsure of how frequent I can update as I have many things to accomplish during these holidays (get a part time job, study for next year's syllabus, etc.) so my schedule is quite packed! Nonetheless, I really enjoy sharing these blogposts so I will try to update it as frequently as I can :)
This blog post may have sounded a bit more formal as compared to previous posts. As you could tell from the letter above, things that were not the most pleasant had occurred and thus I do not really have the ability to sound more energetic and vibrant. I seek for your understanding. Also, if my letter above had caused any negative emotions to stir within you due to similar past experiences, I deeply apologise.
By the way, thank you for the 1020 page views!! :))
