Okay this post is a little late as it was meant to be like a couple of weeks ago...
3 years ago when I first decided to study Japanese, I was still undecided which school to go to...there were numerous Language school around Singapore...and thanks to my really good brother Lawrence, I finally ended up in Tenrikyo. And it was there that I was first taught by Fukuda Sensei for level 1...He did made a remarkable impression and foundation for me to learn Japanese. He is funny, patient and really really nice and everyone liked him...he made learning Japanese really fun and eventhough for me, it was powered purely by my passion, nonetheless, he made it even more interesting. I can't say for the rest of the students but I'm pretty sure most of them would feel the same as I do...He is indeed one remarkable teacher that I will definitely credit many things to...But all good things have to come to an end...his tour of duty in Singapore has ended after 3 years...as his dad wanted him to return to Japan to be a successor...for his dad's church...So it was a last farewell at the airport for him, the students that he taught, and many memories left behind...he tried hard to hold back his tears but as soon as he cleared the immigration counter, We could see the tears...so here are the pics from the airport...

On the left is my Level 1 teacher, Fukuda Sensei and on the right is my Level 3 and 4 teacher, Okada Sensei...they've known each other since school days and are really good friends...and so it's also a pretty sad parting between my teachers...
