The Most Nolstalgic moment ( recommended )

10/Dec/2010

Today is the last day ( 5th Day ) of the multimedia learning lesson imparted by Dr Hao.  How time flies.  5 days are coming to an end.  Everything irregardless good or bad will come to an end.  Dr Hao is so conscientious in her teaching.  I appreciate each moment.

Also, i would like to thank the school for organizing this kind of courses for the teachers to upgrade themselves.  It's a matter of appreciation.

I treasure every moment i had today and deeply participated in Dr Hao's teaching.

Thanks everyone ( for those of you to make this course a success )

Once again, thank you.
( I can assure you, it's definitely useful )
