All Good Things Will Eventually End
all the good things will sooner or later come to an end...no matter how hard you try to stop the end from happening...like a beautiful full moon you see in the night sky or all the wonderful experience you have while with your friends...or even the girl whom you like most and the times you guys spent together...these are just some of the things which will never last..'Change is the only thing in this world that is constant'. True enough...all things will change...the clouds will never be the same once it changes its shape...everything will change...and everything will never stay the same when flowing alongside the current of time..the only thing that will never change is the everlasting cycle of changing...To the good or to the bad?you might ask...well it really depends on what you are looking at...suddenly one day the world becomes a peaceful place and everybody lives happily ever after..thats a good change...you strike lottery and become a multi-millionaire overnight...thats a good change...what about a bad change?Perhaps losing all your lifetime savings...maybe the news of the death of your close friend...or maybe even the departure of someone important...this might sound ridiculous to some...or to most...people like him is hard to find...like good friends...and the fact that youve met them in some point in your life makes them precious and unique...especially when it comes to the times spent together..through the thicks and thins...through the smooth and rough...through the highs and lows...weve been through it all and done it all...we usually think of friends when it comes to a class...however,the person that makes this all happen...is normally left out of the grand picture....why did i spend a whole chunk of words above?he announced to the class that he will be leaving next year...to go to meridian junior college to teach general paper instead...what a whole lot of bullshit..down grade yourself and force yourself to teach something you are not familiar with...thats stupid...force yourself into an uncharted territory...thats moronic...to leave a class which treats you as the best teacher ever...thats foolish....to leave before finish teaching a class...thats silly...(and irresponsible)to expect a class still concentrate on their studies after recieving such a ill news...thats dumb...like what Grima Wormtongue said in The Two Towers,''Lathspell' I name him. Ill news is an ill guest.'whoever brings bad news is a ill guest..but hes not...however...giving the crappiest reasons to leave...thats being an ill guest...giving out excuses....thats being an ill guest...to expect us to do what we could not...thats being an ill guest...to make girls cry in front of you...thats being an ill guest and being a bastard...why leave us?i...in fact the whole class...is not blaming you for what you have decided to do...if you want to leave...that is your own free will...if you want to move on with your life...thats you on decision...we cannot interfere or to change your mind about anything...however...to leave us hanging...thats totally wrong and irresponsible...Sorta like a man hanging desperately to a rope hanging on the side of a cliff...without strength and energy that man can fall anytime to his death...but suddenly over the edge of the cliff and man looms above him and grabs the rope and starts to pull the man up towards safety...thats the job of you...a teacher...but to pull that man halfway through and let go...thats just wrong... a couple of years ago i wouldve danced with joy when the teacher told me that he/she is leaving the school..i still recall when i was back in secondary 3 i had this chemistry teacher called Miss Rema...she was awful and most of all...butt ugly..she couldnt teach whatsoever and took over our lessons for a full 3 months or so...one day she announced to the class that she will be leaving the school...instead of weeping our class threw paper balls at her asking her to leave...after she left crying we started laughing with joy and jumped around laughing on top of our lungs...that was back then...weve never had a great teacher...never has one teacher inspire us like what my current teacher did...therefore weve never felt sorry or depressed when the teacher tells us that he is leaving...until now...in class...the girls cried...really cried...the guys however..sat there without any form of emotion on their faces..including me of course..i guess i didnt know what to feel...or say...seeing the class crying was not a pleasent sight of course...i did not shed a tear...not one...instead i was kinda stunned...so shocked i was smiling and talking to ravish and all...i dont think i was acting the right way...come to think about it...can you imagine me crying?*shivers*'Word hard for your promos...and make sure you guys switch off the lights and te air-con before you leave ok?yep...'and he left...some of the last words he said...he also said,'see you tomorrow..'however i really hope that he will say this instead:'See you next year...'i was thinking..why not leave last year?why not leave the year after next?why next year?why us?life is unfair i do agree with that fact...deep inside our hearts we know that sooner or later we will have to say goodbye...bit farewell to him...but it came too fast and too soon...like a sudden gush of wind before a thunderstorm...no warning...no sign whatsoever...the future without him is unknown...who will be the new teacher?ive got no idea...who will be the next geog lecturer?i havent got a clue...who will be the next replacement in our hearts as the best teacher ever?probably that will never change...and something which im sure about...i was still thinking about what to do for him next year for teachers' day...i guess i'll never be able to do what i will do for him...there are a couple of things...or people...that kept me and are still keeping me alive in nyjc...my friends and him...he's leaving...great...now what do i do?stand still and let the quicksand swallow my life away?as the girls in our class left for home...i was sitting on the table wondering what to do...Jiaying walked pass me with her eyes red and tears in her eyes...she had always been the tough girl in our class...at least to my eyes...never surrender whatsoever...but today...24th of September 2003...Jiaying cried...not that she was the only one who did...but everyone else was trying to laugh the tears away...somehow only her tears made my heart crack a little...making me feel guilty that nothing came out from my eyes...nothing more to say now...signing out...if he leaves someone's gonna get killed...
