On friends and teachers...

I happen to stumble upon another friend from the primary school days who lives halfway round the globe from where I am. Still it is a good thing to know and it is also wonderful to know that we are in touch again. By doing so, I get a lot more news that I thought I would.

It makes me think again about those years in the childhood days, when there were no worries of anything, just fun and being in school. I wonder if being in school now is getting the same enjoyments as we once had??

Talking to a friend that I have not met in years like this and we talked about the past, making me remember again a lot more about the teachers that we had. One that we were so scared about, with her fierce ways, and shouted at us and hey, my friend mentioned about the poetry in class we had with the title "Mr. Postman" with that same teacher and how she wanted us to really pronouce and recite the way she did. hehehehe...Our class teacher Mrs. Rajah. hehehe.. that was also the same year I was going to England to meet my dad, which was in October and I was scared to be away from school thinking that my teacher will scold me for not attending school !

Anyhow, will tell more about the teacher and other teachers in my next entry. What I wanted to say here is about our dear Ustazah Maimon. I came to know that she has passed away last April due to cancer. A nice lady and a reasonable one that I still remember her face and when she came to our classroom, standing at the door telling that she was going for hajj and asked for our forgiveness if she had any wrongdoings to us. Well..she was a nice dear teacher as far as I can remember. I hope she will rest in peace and may God bless her always. However, I'd say thank you Ustazah Maimon for all the things that you have taught us.
