Bye Bye Miss Heng

Miss Heng's farewell dinner took place on 28th Dec at Orchard Hotel grand ballroom. It was a night where old girls, ex teachers, old classmates all met up together to celebrate and give our best wishes to one of the greatest principals of all times.
Who is Miss Heng ? She took on the job of Principal of SCGS in 1979, and retires in 2006, making it 27 yrs of super long service. I was terrified of her when i entered Sec1, but soon to realize that she is actually a caring, loving yet firm Principal. She always made sure the correct values are taught and carried by SCGS girls. She gives us all her love.
She was my Principal when i was a student, and still my Principal when i entered teaching. With her around, there's always a sense of warmth and security. We are so protected by her. It came as no surprise that all of us cried when she announced her retirement.
The school choir composed a song entitled "My Principal". Here's the lyrics:
*My Principal
The foundation of the School
How you did it, we don't have a clue
The exercise book that fell from the sky
As Miss Heng was passing by
The cement that came from the call
Now we have a hall school life's a ball
Goodbye's not the end
We will see you yet again
Because you are our friend, our Principal
My Principal
Nurturing students, that's your flair
You pour in your love and all your care
Though we may be too much to bear
And you have grown lots of white hair
But you still look twenty, I swear, my Principal
Friends may not meet all the time
But we share memories that will bind
In gems of history we'll find, Our Principal
Indeed, we all love Miss Heng, and Miss Heng will always be Miss Heng.
