Tan Siew Yock's retirement

A NOTE OF

APPRECIATION AND
FAREWELL

TO

MDM TAN SIEW YOCK

A responsible and committed

EDUCATOR

serving from

1986 - 2021

We know your passion for tailoring besides teaching –
May this new fabric of your life

allow you to continue this pursuit even more zealously
literally and figuratively…

As you snip away the unpleasant memories of the past
And stitch up to refine what is needed for
the present

And as you sew with the thread of GOD’s blessings
What unfolds before your eyes in the future
is a beautiful tapestry of your life!

Ho Sook Peng

Dearest Siew Yock,

There are people in our lives,
Who bring rainbows after the rain,
And you’re one of them.
There are people in our lives,
Who are always there to offer valuable
advice,
And you’re one of them.
There are people in our lives,
Who make us laugh in good times and bad,
And you’re one of them.

So, I want to thank you,
For all those memorable moments.
I want to wish you,
A retired life filled with lots of joy, freedom
and good health.
Farewell, my mentor, colleague and friend.
You’ll be missed, but never forgotten.
Congratulations on your retirement!

All the best,
Jessica TYT

Dearest Siew Yock,

As we consider the time we were together,
As we reminisce the immense contribution
you have made
not only to the students but also to the
teaching fraternity,
We would like to say a big thank you.
Busy Monday mornings and hectic Friday
deadlines for lesson plans,
working late at night, marking,
all the paper work,
and all the colleagues and students,
we know you'll not miss all of these!
We, however, want you to know that
we'll miss you here at work,
but we understand that
this feeling is not mutual!
Enjoy your retirement!
Congratulations on your retirement
from your jealous co-workers!
Goodbye tension and hello pension!

Dear Siew Yock,

Often when you think
you're at the end
of something,
you're at the beginning
of something more amazing.
Now that you've reached
your goal,
you can spend more time
contemplating over
the meaning of life and
all those other questions
you’ve been too busy to
answer.
Congrats on your
retirement!

Dear Mdm Tan Siew Yock, May the
days and
I truly am thankful in many years ahead
ways, be so
That our paths crossed, beautiful,
I appreciate the things you for you!
have done,
For your acts of kindness Love,
and care…
For your advice… Jane Cheok
I want you to know..,
That sincerely
I mean these words.

Dear Mdm Tan Siew Yock,

At a glance,
reservation is mistaken
as an air of aloofness
which could be taken unwittingly,
but as you get to know her better
an appreciation for a friend
develops further
and Tan Siew Yock,
you will forever be remembered.

Dear Mdm Tan Siew Yock,
I wish that this will not be the
last time of happiness shared
by us...
You will always be missed at
school corridors, classes and
meetings especially our Muet
meetings…
Thank you for being a good
mentor, a supportive colleague
and most of all,
an awesome teacher…
Best wishes on your retirement.

Farewell, Zarina

Specially for you, dear Siew Yock,

There’s a particular moment…
when I felt your motherly care
when you helped me stitch a face mask,
and then when you gave suggestions on
how to alter a blouse.
There were a few instances…
when we could chat so light-heartedly
while chewing morsels of our breakfast…
There were many occasions…
when I could come to you
for pragmatic advice and guidance
befitting that of our MUET Unit Head
(2020)…
THANK YOU.

Hence,
this album of memories
in the words of everyone,
I personally curate for YOU!

Ho Sook Peng



TAKE
GREAT CARE!

A cliche
BUT ALWAYS SO
MEANINGFUL…

To show
we’re deeply
concerned…
