If there is one person you miss, who is it??
I was watching a Taiwan variety show online that helps celebrities reunite with the people they had lost touch with. How heartwarming it was to see them hugging when the person they had longed for finally stand before their eyes.
No matter who you are, I am sure there is one person that had influence your life and make you who you are today. Some still keep in contact, while others just fade into oblivion. If I have a chance to find a person I had lost touch with, it would be my tutor.
When I was younger, I wasn’t at all affiliated to books. I have no idea what I did in school besides making some enemies, and my memories for primary school teachers are vague. I wasn’t a problematic child at school, but I just don’t perform. That was precisely why my mum had hired a tutor for me and my brother.
We have had 3 tutors in back then, but only one left me with the deepest impression. He threatened our delicate skin with a cane, and never failed to take a puff at the corridor before entering my house. I hated his choky breathe, and tried not to breath when he taught me. He noticed that, and brought along some mint to chew.
My mum fired my previous tutor and hired him when I was in Primary 2. I knew him as Mr Tan, 20 years old and still serving NS. He was tall, handsome and macho, with center parting like all others guys back then. You have to trust me; I wasdrooling paying attention when he taught me!!
Like usual, there wasn’t improvement even though I had a great tutor. I still didn’t pay attention in class since there was someone at home who will be teaching me all over again. How brainless I was…
One day, Mr Tan decided to quit due to his work commitments. That was 4 years after he started teaching us. I was overjoyed at first; I couldn’t resist my board smiley face. My mum hired a new tutor immediately. Surprisingly, Mr Tan came back to my house one day and sat with us at the dinning table where we always had our tuition. He started talking to us, encouraging us and petted our heads just before he left. Perhaps I was still too young to understand human feelings, but there was obviously sadness in his eyes.
Moments where he came and taught us when he met with an accident flooded my mind. Moments where he scolded me till I trembled in fear made me shudder … That was my last recollection of him.
I don’t really remember how he looked, but if I were to provide some clues to trace him back, it would be the cup he uses throughout the 4 years at my house.
