Dropped by Eden's office just now (Eden the deputy Principal, not whatever else you were thinking) to thank him for the guidance over the years.

And I realised how much I meant every word I said to him. I was a fresh grad who didn't know better - and I depended heavily on people like him to teach me and say 'No, this cannot be done this way because...' or 'But what about this, you forgot to consider...'

He's one of the few management staff I truely respect and consider 'one of the good guys'.

If anything, I'll miss his corny jokes during meetings.
