Speechless

With Dr Johdi Mohd Salleh from UIA
Aaron delivering his speech.
Who's hot?
LChai Meh, Amira, Kasturi and Naqiyuddin (back row,2nd from left) from 5KJ, eagerly waiting for their turn.

On a bright and sunny day, the whole academic staff and all the form 5 students of SEMEKAR took an important ride to the International Islamic University Malaysia.... The ride was smooth and the event, which was The Graduation Day for all our SPM candidates who would be sitting for their exams next month (what! Next month?) ; was indeed a very important event of the year.

Wow! How time flies!

It was yesterday when I first entered my form 2 class in 2005. The students were really cute and innocent (baby-face,ma!). Well, that was in 2005.

I was ONLY 39 plus at that time, still energetic and fierce. I remember screaming(?? shy only) in class, apart from whacking them when they failed to submit their assignments. (None of them would complain or argue with me).These are the things I stopped doing in 2007, much to the relief of the students.

Anyway, don't try to do the same again now, the situation is reversed. Most of them are much taller than I am , and they really know how to debate an issue. Don't try lay a finger on them, nor should you raise your voice just because you have nothing else to do AND don't enter class unless you are well-prepared.

But, business is business, I shall still guide them and test them and reprimand them (tactfully), 'coz it is my duty....(as mentioned before, who am I without you?) and most importantly it is because I care , ........and caring means loving.

So, girls , no more make-up, and boys, no more flirting; there is a very important battle ahead after the graduation. Stay focused, move on with life, OUR priority is SPM now.

But today , at the graduation ceremony, I was speechless.....
