OFFICIALLY MY VERY LAST DAY AS A TEACHER IN SCHOOL

Officially today was my very last day in school. I will be a retired teacher by tomorrow, by choice. I decided to opt out after completing my 30 years of service, at the age of 54.

If you wonder why did I choose to opt out, I could write a book just to answer that question.
And if you ask me, what is my next plan, I could write another book just to answer that particular question.

If you are just curious of my next plan, just follow my blog which I will update from time to time. Hope I will not bore you to death.

Good bye my office

As it was the last day of school holiday, all the teachers were still spending their time with their families at home. However we had the Principal, non-academic staff, the security guards, the janitors and the canteen people around. And we took a lot of photos together before the final farewell. We actually had a pot luck breakfast/lunch earlier, but I did not have the photos.

Thank you to Puan Jothy for coming and bringing the food for tea. It had been continuous eating session from the morning until afternoon.

I, signing off, finally, at SMK Dato' Jaafar, Johor Bahru.

It had been an awesome 30-year journey in four schools [SMK Gelang Patah, SMK Taman Universiti, SMK Mutiara Rini, SMK Dato' Jaafar] and I had made friends with colleagues, other teachers, parents and ex-students, and other people who were related to school activities/programmes. Thank you to each and every one of you for being a part of my wonderful teaching career.

I guess this should be the end of the official journey as a teacher. It is time to rename my blog as JUST ANOTHER RETIRED TEACHER after this.
