Thank You to My Dear Students! Love you all! :)

I want to thank all my dear piano students for their well-wishes, kind thoughts and lovely presents for this Teachers' Day. I appreciate it all a lot. You are all very sweet and thoughtful! Thank you very much! I will always try my best to be the best piano teacher/adviser/friend! :)

Below are the gifts I got this Teachers' Day, in addition to sweet well-wishes :), in order of appearance. :) Thank you So Very much for your thoughts and efforts! :)




This is from Mrs. Viena and her two boys, Ray and Russell. The two boys are fun, and Ray has recently developed an interesting sense of humour! Mrs. Viena too is a very understanding and fun mum to be around! :) Yummy! One of my favorite chocolates ever! And I love Mozart, the composer, not surprisingly! Thank you!! :)



Next, this is from Mrs. Michelle and her daughter Kelly, who are also my most wonderful neighbors! It's great to hear Kelly practice the piano so regularly! :) I simply love honey! (I am a little bear in disguise.) And this comes with a nice beautiful comb, which I find fun to eat! Plus, I love Eu Yan Sang. I even signed up for their free membership for teachers this Teachers' Day. Thank you!! :)

This cute mug is from my friend Yee Jiun and her son Mun Tat. Mun Tat is a most conscientious and fun student, with a highly supportive mother, who plays the piano really well herself! I adore the story "Guess How Much I Love You"! I once read it in a bookstore because it was one of the books highly-recommended by the bookstore, and I thought it is a really sweet story and it is very well-illustrated. Yee Jiun tells me that they now have the story in four new versions based on the four seasons! I have got to go check it out! I love you guys too! :) Thank you!! :)



This wonderful box of yellow custard kueh is from Mrs. Wong and her daughter Rui Yee, who recently passed her Grade 5 ABRSM Practical with a High Merit and encouraging comments. Rui Yee always has good ideas and questions, and it is really interesting working with her! Congratulations and Thank you!! :)

This miniature violin is from Celine, a most enthusiastic and hardworking adult piano student who recently passed her Grade 3 ABRSM Practical with Merit. She has been improving a lot and has come very far. For those lucky children who have the wonderful opportunity to learn the piano when young, do treasure it and practice!...The music, skills and memories will last a lifetime and will be appreciated later in life. The miniature violin is a beautiful accompaniment to my piano, and it will be permanently displayed on my piano. :) Congratulations Celine and Thank you!! :)

Lastly, the box of one of my favorite Japanese chocolates is from Mr.&Mrs. Ang and Ling Kee, who is one of my oldest student, a student who started with me since I started my teaching career in 2001. Ling Kee has a lot of potential, and can go very far in music with lots of practice. He is very musical, logical, calm and focused. However, I agree that "O" levels is very important, and I wish him the best of luck in that!! :) I look forward to Ling Kee learning Tchaikovsky's Dumka, when his "A" levels are done....hee hee :) It's a beautiful piece, and I am sure Ling Kee will play it very well with lots of practice. Mr.&Mrs. Ang are also one of the sweetest, nicest and most encouraging parents I have ever met, whom I believe truly appreciate the rewards of a good musical education. I appreciate their kindness, support and thoughtfulness always. Thank you!! :)


Thank you very, very much to all my wonderful students again! I truly appreciate all your thoughtfulness and kindness!! I am really touched and thus super-happy!! I love you all lots too!! :)
