Happy Teacher's Day to ME!

It's Teacher's Day celebration in school today. And it also celebrates 'Be Yourself Day' where pupils & teachers are encouraged to come in their sports attire & any sports personality. As for me, I'm not that comfortable in my very-bright-red-but-luckily-the-pants-are-grey sporty look. I came in my sports shoe (which needed to be changed...*ehem hint hint*) but I changed to my sandals. Make me quite uncomfortable being so 'different' from my usual look.

Yelah, hari2 datang sekolah professional looking, either in blouse & pants or skirt, sometimes my baju kurung, alih-alih hari ni I become a PE teacher - or more so I think a fitness instructor. Macam Didi kat dlm '123 Kilo' pulak!

Anyway, things are so much different from the previous past years' celebrations. More & more ex-pupils are coming back to our school. Some of them just took the opportunity to meet their friends, rather than their teachers. I had quite a lot of my ex-p6s coming back, right from the very first batch! In fact, I invited Noraini (1 of my best pupils, whom I've helped quite a bit during her time) into my room & we chat quite a while. Initially it was just exchanging how-are-you's but looking at how she wanted me to accompany her since her frens are not here yet, I invited her in. We talked a lot of things from studies to my family & so on. She did well for her Malay O'levels (got A2, not bad!) but being a good (and I mean she IS good in her language), she's taking it again to aim for A1. That's my girl, Noraini.

This year not as many presents & gifts as before as I teach fewer classes. Anyway, not that I'm hoping to get anything from my pupils but I'm quite happy with what I get...cushion, scarves (so obvious right?), chocolate chip cookies, stationaries, red pens & others which I have not opened or seen yet. Let my son helped me 'unwrapping' at home later. It'd be fun looking how Fikri will tear & ripped off everything!!! HAHAHA!

I'm having my break at the moment. In a while I've to be in the hall to help out with the hall games till end of school. Then, I'll just go home (with all the gifts that I get and in my sporty attire), change to my normal decent clothes & head to my in-laws place for dinner & fetch Fikri. Malam nanti, everything will be back as normal. That's my Teacher's Day celebration in school. The End~
