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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
