A dozen years of teaching...my cabinet is more or less occupied by cards and letters from the kids over the years. Their words are always disturbing my clearing process. Perhaps I should post some of them here, in honour of my having some sort of bonding with these brilliant children, as well as provoking my silent visitors here!

Thank you for visiting.

I can see a beautiful portrait of a talented and passionate language teacher who truly appreciates the arts of the language; who adores children, nurtures them with love, and grows with them as an inspiring companion.

Education chose you because it needs you. Thanks for being here.

That's too much praise! I am not half as charming as my students. I am just honoured and fortunate to be part of their childhood, however briefly.

Skimming through the writings and poems I'm quite sure that you can be confident to say that "I didnt choose writing;writing chose me". Do hope that you can successfully learn through self reflection, and I sincerely wish you all the best for what is ahead of you.

Knowledge might perish, but feelings and memories are eternal.

What a great place for everyone to learn more about you and your works!
About your writings, they're both diverse and simple; in a way that leaves the reader wandering long after they finish reading it. It's one thing that I haven't mastered yet! Your pieces have a lot of layers (...just like an ogre.)
Education definitely chose you. How wonderful a teacher you are, you created a unique experience for your students that not many teachers have adopted. Keep going!

To teach is to touch a heart forever.

Thanks Kieran for dropping by and spending time on my works. I was not even a quarter as good as you when I was your age! You guys did teach me a lot too.

Thanks for being with me in my sixth grade. Through the year I have been nurtured by you, you let me taste the beauty of English and become one of your VIPs on the A - list. Your works are simply fantastic and shows your soul to us!

Of course I know who you are. The kid who sat next to me in Her Majesty's theatre, scared by the phantom! So adorable! ;)

It is an honour to have the privilege to express my gratitude towards my most respectable teacher - Dr. LEE.
He spent several months to teach me speech and drama. Last year, I achieved first runner up at the 65th Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival's solo verse speaking and got the Certificate in Graded Examination in Speech and Drama (Grade 8) with merit.
Proud to bE his sTudEnt, Really.

It's such a sweet surprise to see this message from you Mattie. You deserve everything you've got. But the best is yet to come! There are more in you to be uncovered and discovered. Work hard!

Very stylish website with many artistic photos!
Your poems and writings are great! The poems are full of new ideas. I love how you made the " Nine years as a teacher" form the YW logo!
It's been a great privilege to be your student back in P.6! You've been a great teacher. Your lessons were exciting beyond imagination( With the chance of being A-listed ANY second.)! I wish I could meet a teacher as good as you in Australia.

Thanks for your sweet words Sean. I'm particularly happy that you did spent time reading my materials. Hopefully you do visit me electronically from time to time to see if there's any update here. You're an inspiration to me in every aspect, especially your manner. Enjoy your Australian adventure! We'll meet again!

Greatly impressed with your effort and contribution to promoting reading and sharing the world of arts with children and young people.
Your passion sparks their interest, excitement and imagination.
You always sparkle at your works and performance!
Your idea of producing audio version of the works is brilliant!

Thanks again for the kind words. If you do enjoy BLJ, tell more people about it. It's what the journal is about: promoting new literature and connecting people spiritually.

I wasn't surprised by the poems and literary writing here but who would have thought that this gentleman's taste in photography is so unique as well! Impressive!

Late evening.
A poor hut invited
Nobody for the (fine) tea.
Cold and barren now;
You brought in a shamrock.

Hello, Dr. Lee. Do you know who I am? Hints:
1. someone who plays with you during recess;
2.Someone who controls the A List;
3. That guy is tall!
Please answer me through l*********@gmail.com

Of course I know you Lachlan. Good that you enjoy the lessons with me. And you should have hinted me that...the guy is handsome! ^o^

19/11/2015 04:29:02 pm

Thanks for that! ^o^

As a teacher myself, much older in years than Dr. Lee, I find his talents, his passion for creativity and his dedication to the enrichment of young lives through art and literature to be an inspiration. He is a renaissance man whom I am so happy to have met; his work will continue to delight me in the years to come.
