Tribute to Wang Bin Lao shi (1954 - 2006)

Had gone down to the wake with wei last nite..we were slightly baffled by the fact tat compared to the rest of our teachers, we felt relatively close to wang bin lao shi..it's like, she taught us music only once a week(or so i think) during our lower-sec days..it's not tat much..if u're comparing with other subjects like english or maths(i shan't mention chinese cos i think wei will have an adverse reaction if i do so) where u see the teacher almost everyday(or so i think again..i really dun rem much about lessontime in sch..)

In any case, wang bin lao shi did leave a deeper-than-most-teacher impression on me..despite the fact tat i'm not the most musically-inclined student(hey u, stop sniggering) nor a choir member(though i think i did attend a few choir sessions before..aiya, was hanging out with quite a few choir members then mah)..wat i remember about her most were her larger-than-life size..her booming voice..& of cos, her passion for music..

Did not really have much news of her after i left sch..so it was a bit of a shock to receive news of her passing away last weekend..When we took one final look at her yesterday, she had lost weight since our school days..apparently from the chemo treatments for her liver cancer..

May lao shi rest in peace..
