As I’ve been teaching for quite a number of years, I managed to built some good relationships with some of my students…some of them I cant even remember their names sbb terlampau byk student yg I dah taught…but kalau terserempak mana², sometimes they smile and great me and I realized ‘eh, itu ygmy studentkan???’…
Some say I’m too garang…some say I’m garang + nice…some cannot tahan with the way I teach so some just ignore my presence and just sat in my class to fulfill the uni’s requirements…(sbb I ngajar subject wajib faculty so that’s why like it or not they have to sit for my course)…
The ones that can tahan with the way I teach are normally the ones yg baik with me…baik not in terms or kipas-sing me just to get good grades…baik as in sometimes boleh berborak macam kwn…
I could name a few here but tak nak la sbb ada jugak yg I baik with but I couldn’t recall their names…hehe..
There were a bunch of Chinese guys in my class yg took 2 courses with me…so we spent almost 1 year together…ada 4 or 5 of them…some coloured their hairs and reminded me of kumpulan F4…diaorg nie always sat together in class and always compete with each other…that’s the good spirit that I like…
So after a semester of not seeing them, 2 of them came by to my room…the main reason was wanting me to be their supervisors for their thesis next sem…one of them tu mmg rapat with me laa coz I remembered he had problems in getting a good journal article for his presentation in class…he begged me many times to accept his journal but I cant coz tak menepati my scope…
He was surprised and happy to see me preggy and terus came and shake hands with me to congratulate me…hehe..terharu la pulak ada student yg happy utk lecturer dia…he was frustrated that I couldn’t be his supervisor by saying ‘whhhyyyyyyy must u go nowwwwww’ (due to my study leave, I cant be his supervisor)…so he wished me good luck in my studies and I wished him all the best…
I’m already starting to miss my students and missed teaching (cant believe I’m saying this!!!!)
To my ex-students out there: good luck in everything u do…I’m proud that I managed to contribute some knowledge to you (although I know the courses I taught you mmg susah giler nak lekat dlm kepala…hehehe)…nanti dah keje + gaji besar, don’t forget us here at the uni that u have stepped foot before…
Congratulations to my dear friend ain…she gave birth to a cute baby gal on the 1st of ramadhan…she had to go for an operation sbb there’s no contraction at all and has been in the labour for almost 12 hours…but, alhamdulillah, everything’s fine…she’s my online friend that I’ve never meet but we share the same story of our 1st pregnancy…lepas nie my turn pulak…hopefully everything shall turn out well, insyaAllah
