Well wishes from Class B2/01/07 Batch 06

14th October,

Mood in college was gloomy, even though activity was carried out as per normal; everyone was rather reluctant to bid farewell to best instructor, Mr Au Ting Ling who was on his last day of duty as Training Manager. Despite his growing age, he shows no sign of tiredness, yet, still going strong together with us. He has been our best friend, our best instructor and best mentor. He takes care of our well-being and welfare as if our second father. His advices are still ringing in our ears. His favourite words, " ... You fella ... " and " ... you must be joking! ... " have never been forgotten. When all these come across our mind, without realizing, we will laugh softly in our heart, at the same time, tears dripping warmly from our eyes. We were indeed missing Mr Au. His presence has enlightened our training in college, we laugh and joke, we sit and have coffee together; all these will become another piece of memory that we will keep with us along the journey ...

At 630pm, before he left the college, he waved goodbye to everyone of us. Again, he reminded us, "Next time I see you all, make sure, you come with a 3 golden bars on your shoulders!", putting his 3 fingers on his shoulder showing us the sign... Yes, we will do it! We will remember your challenge!

Dear Mr Au,

Thanks you!

May God bless you bountifully ...

Happy Retirement!

Gracious,
