What raya meant to me

           After finishing form 5 most of my friends went for further studies.Not me.I never had the slightest idea to do so.My only intention was to find a job to keep having food on the table for the family.
           I got a job soon after that.A temporary teacher with RM 230. per month.It was enough to feed 6 mouth then.I would make sure to buy groceries the minute I got my salary. So at least food was not a problem anymore.At 18 I was the sole breadwinner of the family!....
           Hari raya that year was a merrier one.My siblings had baju raya! They were happy to go round the neighbourhood in their new clothes..Raya meant so much to them...I said to myself.."Ayah if only you could see this."
          We have ketupat and even cookies..and some money in my siblings pockets.....To the rich it was nothing.but to us it was the happiest moments after 3 sad years....

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

       If many people say teaching standard one is easy...tengok dulu dan baca dulu what I have to tell you.Then you make up your mind....        Bulan puasa...letih .So to cheer me up and maybe to cheer those out there please continue reading. he he.jangan marah.bukan nak hina sapa2.just for fun saja...     This pint size boy, I called him Mat Rejab because he looked like one of my friend dulu2 with this name. 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?
