My ex school teacher flew down from Canada a few days ago and wanted to meet some of us here, in Singapore. He is 86 years old. His wife, a professor is currently in UK visiting their son. She should be here in the next few days to join him.
Six of us, his ex RI (Raffles Institution) students in the early 1960s were invited to his apartment and had lunch with him.
We had a wonderful time together this afternoon, reminiscing the past. He was a discipline master in RI but none of us got into trouble with him. He was a very strict teacher and disciplinarian. He has even sacked a classmate of ours for mistreating a female teacher in 1963.
Today, he treats us not as his students but friends. We wish him good health (which he has) and promised to meet up with him and his lovely wife before they return to Canada.
