"I still remember you, MX Li!"

I was at the bus interchange on my way to work today when I bumped into my former Maths teacher Mr.Ng from Bukit Panjang Government High.

We had a casual conversation, from my present career to the news of my school before Mr. Ng annouced simply out of the blue "I still you remember you, MX Li!" I was surprised, especially when I wasn't even his star student.

"So which year you graduated? Was it year 2001 or 2002?" asked Mr.Ng

I thought for a moment before replying, "2000 I think, nearly 7 to 8 years since I graduate."

"MX Li right?" Mr.Ng asked and I simply nodded.

"Actually I remember that time Irene Gan come to our school for interview." He said.

"Then you stand up and ask a very good question, I can't remember what you ask but I remember you." the old man commented, smiling happily to himself.

I chuckled, surprised that my teachers would remember me after so many years. And of course, I would never forget being the one student who gained five minutes' fame by presenting Irene Gan (or whichever former Mediacorp artiste it was actually....) with an outstanding question. Well, I cannot however for the life of me remember whatever question that was.

Speaking of which, I'm starting to miss my teachers now. Aaawwhhh!
