Anybody remembers Mr Neo?

For those who studied in SMKBTR would know him especially the Science stream classes as he taught us Additional Mathematics. Known to be quite a strict man, he is like any good teacher trying to do his best to get the best out of us.

I bumped into him taking the LRT last Thursday. He was bringing his daughter to the government dentist just opposite my office. Using his benefits as an ex-government servant very well :)

He asked me which batch i was from as he has been a teacher for so many years. I told him and also naming a few of my friends who were more popular and smart to spur on his memory.

After knowing which year i finished school at BTR, he told me that he moved on to Sentul to become headmaster there the next year. He just retired 3 years ago, meaning to say he was headmaster for 5 years.

Our conversations were few and far in between literally speaking as we were seperated by other commuters. We both alighted at BTR station and now he drives a SLK (small little kancil) which is an upgrade to his very old Honda kap.

He still looks very much like he was when he was teaching us 10 years ago. His hair neatly combed with his grey hair here and there. Put on a little weight IMO but again like i said, he still looks very much like in the old days.
