Soalan lagi...

So Iddy said I have to answer these questions.  Baiklah Cik Iddy.

How many schools did I go to?

How many schools?  Let's count.  Primary school: SRK Convent Batu Pahat, Secondary school: SM Convent Batu Pahat for about a month.  Two weeks of which I stayed home after fracturing my foot doing high jump.  Mom got into a spat with the headmistress because she wouldn't let me stay in the class during recess.  Apa apa tah.  After that, I was off to STF.  Lah, tiga skolah aje?  Tak adventurous langsung.

Was I the studious nerd, or the last minute hero?

I was definitely the last minute hero.  It all came so easy to me back then.  Or maybe I was just a nerd in denial disguise.  Oh who knows...  Do you know Iddy? 

Was I the class 'taiko' or the teacher's pet?

I was a mix of the two.  I was the teacher's taiko pet.  Nakal, but the teachers couldn't help liking me.  HAHAHAHA!  You believed that?  Actually, I'm only half joking.  Some teachers did let me get away with more.  They let me sleep in class.  Or maybe they just didn't know because my tudung was so low and they had their backs to me.  A couple of teachers did seludup me and brought me along when they went out.  (Outing haram!)  The fact that I was crying my eyes out for the first six months (homesick) might have had something to do with it.  But to this day, some people are convinced I'm kaki bodek.  Maybe I am.  I'd like to think I have charming manners.

What was the biggest rule I broke in school?

Maybe when I went outing haram and got caught because my dad came to visit.  The warden was paging me the whole day.  I lost my outing privelege for the whole year.  My dad's advice that night: "Lain kali kalau keluar kasi tau lah Abah.  Takde lah Abah datang.  Kan sekarang dah susah."  I miss my dad.

Three subjects I enjoyed

English.  Yup, I loved English too!  Did we actually learn anything academic in class?  Sometimes I'm not too sure.  I love PS time.  Terbaring baring kat depan tv nengok Beauty and the Beast.  And those singing we did in class?  Did I actually sing?  Cannot remember lah.  And FB.  Those memories.  Have I ever seen another teacher baru keluar maktab tortured more?  I don't think so.  Talk about being thrown in the deep end.  But she deserved it.   Tak pakai common sense ka?

Math - it was fun.  Plus got to catch up on sleep.

Kimia - too many entertaining memories.  1) Was left in class when everyone else went to lab - I was asleep.  2) Watched a girl stretch after yawning, lean baaaaaccckkk.  And whoops, the stool didn't have a back rest.  And down to the floor she went.  I had the giggles for hours.  3) Barged in on the wrong class in Chem Lab - my partner and I fell asleep, woke up, and ran into the lab.  We looked at the schedule for the wrong day.  Most embarrassing moment of my life.

Three teachers that inspired me

Cik Rozita - she was a new teacher when I was in fifth grade.  She was like a sister and a friend.  She got into a lot of trouble because of her friendship with us students.  I think some teachers were just jealous.

Cik Norley - she taught me math.  She was so dedicated, I used to think she worked harder preparing me for the exams than I did.  I was touched.  She actually made me realize that I was good at math, eventhough I had been scoring near perfect for over 2 years.  (I told you I didn't realize I was a nerd.)

There were a couple others who inspired me, perhaps in much more significant ways.  But I cannot think of any at this moment.  I'm running late.  This will have to do.

Is this the same kokang aka FH (I'm not going to reveal your name here, just your initials)? I blog-jumped from Idlan's page and found your site. I was your senior in STF, I don't know if you still remember me. Anyway, glad to know that you're doing well.

Take care!
A @ D-8
