Yet Another Story

I have no intention to humiliate people at all; I just want to write it here so that if one day I feel bad about my life, I will quickly open this up and read it again. It is just a reminder for my own self, to help me to feel grateful in each and every way. It is just a reminder that no matter how miserable my life is, it could be worse. I twisted some of the plot but the main point is there. Anyway, today was the Meeting with Parent’s day. Since my school is so called the best school in the district, the attendance of the parents is always 100%. I just want to a tip bit of it here:

A man at my grandfather’s age came with one my students. I have 20 students, and this was the last one to come. Everyone in the class has came with their parents. After they had seated, the man started the conversation.

The man : Assalamualaikum cikgu. Saya ni datuk Amin (bukan nama sebenar). Mak dia sibuk kerja


Me : owh waalaikumussalam pakcik. Takpe, siapa-siapa pun boleh datang pakcik. Asalkan ada wakil. Lagipun, Amin ni budak baik. Takda masalah. Pandai pulak tu. Ayahnya pun kerja jugak ke pakcik? (I have checked none of my students is an orphan, that was why I proceed with that question)

The man : Ayah dia dah lari. Tak tahu ke mana. Kira bercerai la dengan mak dia. Sekarang ni memang Amin ni duduk dengan pakcik dan isteri pakcik. Mak dia kerja kat JB. Seminggu,2 minggu baru balik jenguk anak-anak dia. Amin ni anak sulung, adik-adik dia sekolah rendah semua. Dia ok ke cikgu?

Me : (holding my tears and pretended to be okay) Maaf yer pakcik saya tanya tadi. Amin budak pandai, tak pernah bagi masalah kat mana-mana cikgu, ketua kelas lagi. Lepas tu dia kuat lari, memang wakil sekolah pergi sukan semua. Pakcik tak perlu risau pasal Amin ni

and then after a while, they went off, and I went to the toilet and blaming myself for asking that sensitive question and crying :’(

For some people, maybe this is nothing, but for me, it is like a lightning struck right through my head. I always like Amin for his maturity when dealing with stuff. He is different from other students in my class. They are all kids who love playing around and running in the class. Unlike them, Amin has something that makes him unique is his own way. Now, I know the reason why. It is because, he has encounter something a child at his age do not have to deal with. He has to take the responsibility of his younger siblings. He has to be role model so that his siblings can be as perfect as him. Excellent in class, and be the hero on the field. So, what say you people?

2013 in a wrap!

Assalamualaikum people Life has been busy, life has been great All praises to Him for every second blessed with rahmah Alhamdulillah So its 2014 tomorrow. Lets recap what had happened along these amazing months in 2013. January 1. Celebrated my man's birthday for the first time, hundreds kilometers away of course. He was in Kuantan and I was in Johor. 2. Both of us were excited as he got an offer letter to a new workplace in KL, which means, we were getting closer in distance. February 1. During the Chinese New Year Break, we went to Tekam Plantation Resort together with his family. It is a great place for a short getaway from city. It is really cold early in the morning as the place is surrounded by hundreds trees and somehow I felt like I was not in Malaysia. 2. On the 4th February ( SEMSAS 9802), my man is officially working in an oil and gas company in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city. So, good bye to the idea of settling down in Kuantan. Hellooooo KL! In the meantime, we alterna...
