a couple of days ago, oops,....yesterday, the nation celebrated Teachers' Day. awards were
given, speeches were heard, flowers were handed out, and we're talking bout the whole nine
yards here.

i have a story, albeit a very disturbing tribute to a teacher in the high school.
i didn't remember his name, but the dude has curly hair, quite sturdy and he had tinted
eyeglasses.

this story's set in 92 or 93, i couldn't remember, but it was certainly when i was in form one.
i was quite mischievous from 93-95 (would you believe it) and when i was in form one, i had
this habit of buying BACARIA (how bizarre) and my favorite thing to do after i've finished
reading them, is to get a marker and some correction fluid, and try to alter the headlines and
faces on the print, aiming to have the funniest outcome possible. biasa lah kan, budak budak.
you have to admit, it's kind of funny.

so, if i'm not mistaken, some dude from 1A3 borrowed the "artwork" to read during the night
prep (something i consider very risky, during that moment). i forgot who that dude was.i didn't
read any that night.

it so happens that this teacher was on duty that night and he caught the dude reading the print
(yup, an offence there), and he's not pleased with my 'modifications'.i guess he found out my
name, and he sought me out. at this time, i didn't know i'd be facing the "wrath of the furious
teacher" by the time he called me.

he then asked me

"paper ni awak punya ka?"
"ya, saya punya.."
"pasaipa awak contiang ni? pasaipa awak buat muka depa jadi macamni?awak nak saya panggil
emak bapak awak awak?nak saya report?"

all the time he was asking me this, he was holding my hand, shaking me very hard. he was
scolding,no wait.....he was 'herdik-ing' me as if i'd killed the prime minister. i answered

"tak mau, cikgu"

i was shivering by the time he let me go and i returned to class. i still can remember it clearly.

was i guilty? i think so. even so, he shouldn't have pelted me with verbal abuse like that. i've
never met any teacher like that drink of water in the entire school. looking back, i still think it's
way tooharsh. i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

so there you have it. a tribute from me, to that particular teacher on teachers' day.



just in case you're reading this, teacher, i just want to say F YOU.



yup, you heard me right.



F YOU,TEACHER.
