When I was (not so) little

*Updated*

When I was in form 3, among all the subjects, I like geography the most(besides basketball). Basically because I like reading facts and general knowledge. And I like analyzing maps. And most importantly I like the teacher. Pn Kamelawati*. I can still vividly imagining the classroom setting back then. When its geography-time, the whole class will move forward, cramping the whole 6/7rows into 3rows. I was in the front row obviosly because I was such a shortay back then, seated next to Jerry who annoyingly reads dictionary all the time, but I like him tho, he is a genius and we were deskmate for 3years! Until I left for asrama booo.

Back to my geography teacher, she's really one of a kind. She will sit the nearest to the front row and make sure everyone listen to her while she's teaching cause she aint gonna repeat what she just said. And amazingly everyone listened. My class was known to be the noisiest class ever, the classroom was at the end of the buiding, and the noise can get up to the principal's office which was at the other end of the building. It was like a whole nine yards away I'm telling ya. So getting us to shut our mouth up is a huge achievement to the teachers. Lim Ah Ho always failed this. Mihihihi

Back to my geography teacher, she rarely writes on the blackboard, she'll just sit and talk and we'll just listen. She'll pass around xerox copies of notes and we willdo exercise together. our F1 science teacher, Mr Muhid l.o.v.e.s writing on the blackboard so much he'll make us copy everything he chalked on the board for the whole period no I'm not kidding and no we are not that rajin. but of coz we had to copy each others notes when he said he wanted to semak our notebook booo.

What I really adore about my geography teacher is her passion and determination to teach us all. She had something wrong with her voicebox so she can't talk like normal teachers. She has problem vocalizing her vocals out(?), thus, she talks like she's whispering. And so to makesure the entire class are able to hear to what she said, she had to scream her lungs out and still the whispering voice came out. Just a little stronger in volume. Imagine us having sorethroat. Talking was such a pain in the ass lol in the throat of course what more screaming and shouting. 5days per week 5class per day. Imagine her now. Who would have been that strong??

I don't know where Pn Kamelawati teach right now, wherever u are, Pn Kamelawati, I hope u are doing well. May God grant her with a healthy and happy life with her family. And May Allah bless such a kind teacher/person like you :)
