a trishaw ride home for 30 cents ?

    I used to walk to school about 2 kilometres away. We did nott feel the distance because everyone else walked too.The boys would crumpled pieces of papers into a ball and kicked it all the way home.The glaring heat of the sun was nothing.No one bothered about SPF cream...he he.
    I always got first in exams.So the day I had the report card I would reward myself with a ride on the trishaw to get home faster than the others to break the news to my mom. In those days the trishaw peddlar would only asked for 30 sen for that 2 kilometer ride.

Kain dalam cikgu luruh..!!

        "Ok semua buka muka surat 25 .Mat Akhir baca dengan kuat dan jelas." The voice of my cikgu Bah Melayu  giving instructions.It happened when I was in Std 2 .I remember this one very clearly because....you will know why at the end of this post..Keep on reading.          Mat Akhir stood up and read. I was then looking at some beautiful pictures in my story book in my desk. A beautiful story of some princess.             I thought no one was looking because everyone was concentrating with Mat Akhir's reading. I look up, my cikgu was standing facing the board..He he selamat.So I continued reading 'my' story book..bukan semak buku teks B Melayu  ...!       Suddenly I felt 'bedebab' on my back. My cikgu was standing behind me.Awat la I tak perasan dia lalu di tepi I tadi...      "Amboi na, orang suruh semak bacaan , dia dok baca buku cerita na." and ...bedebab, once more a big one kena my belakang.      I got both , malu and sakit..She

He like the name.Panggil saja terus mai terloncat2 and said."Awat teacher?"     Last week, I passed by their classroom, tengok semua meloncat, bising. No teacher in the class. Maybe relief teacher tak masuk lagi.or cikgu depa dalam toilet sakit perut kut.ha ha..    I gave them something to keep them busy.Bagi satu picture for them to color.This boy Mat Rejab, colored the picture all yellow.   "Awat Mat Rejab oi semua kuning.mana ada hidupan dasar laut ni semua kuning?
