Physics Academician - Tan Chuan Huat

This extraordinary guy that I am blogging tonight is someone that I really show my respect to. Not really being attentive of myself in his class last time, I was regarded as just merely a "passer-by" who barely did good in his subject.

Physics, though it was later found interesting but I have never thought it could ended up be one of the subject that I would very much wanted to root myself in. Not to mention, on the later chapter of my life that I rely on the physical knowledge to get me through my engineering degree and to lead me to my current job.

I want to brag about this guy who first appeared to me as a skinny, not so tall but with a humble personality, he was someone that I couldn't imagine to be my physics tutor - Mr. Tan Chuan Huat. he taught me when i was in secondary 4 and 5, later in A-Levels. According to my mom who got the contact for me when I was in secondary 4, he was one of the best physics teacher in the northern region of Malaysia. A happy retiree from being a Lead Examiner in the Physic Department in the National Examination Syndicate and the Principal from Heng Ee High School  Penang prior to that, he is swarmed with passion in Physics.

I was once told that he failed Physics in his HSC (High School Certificate Exam) but he never gave up on his passion to find out more about his failure, continue to dig deeper and finally to realize the foundation he needs to build in order to comprehend the theories laid down behind this wonderful study of nature. This tells me that chasing our own dreams are meant to be consistent. Failure is not a form of show stopper but a way of showing us that there are other possibilities of getting ourselves to achieving our purpose/objective. 

With all respect sir, I would like to thank you for shaping my thoughts and get me going from the point where I fall. To you it is never too late to catch up on what you have lost. The race continues and it will never end until we breathe our last breath. Losing a few paces behind doesn't lead us to total loss. The equation varies in time and it will go on until we see the great partition of gain and loss. Many have gained it, and that includes you, sir.

Whether I am going to see you again sir but I wish you good health and have a happy life being a motivator to other younger people like me. It's truly a blessing from God to have you in my life.
Sir, you rock!
