Sempena Bulan May - A tribute to Teachers

Dearest all,
Kejisnye mek! Nak tunggu sampai habis bulan MAY baru terhegeh2 nak buat entry ini. Isk isk isk - but you know what they say, kan? BETTER LATE DARI NAN ADO!!! Ehehehehe...

Entry kali ini, mek berikan title...

Jasa2miew Kan Ku Kenang Wahai Cikgus Cikgis Kiews...
Dalam bahasa abnormalnya, "Jasa2mu Kan Ku Kenang Wahai Cikgu2ku..."


To most of us, our dearest cikgus cikgis, semuanya bagaikan lilin yang membakari (eh!?!?! - salah!) I meant to say, they are like candles that burns its flame to brighten up our days and lives. Agree tak? I mean - of course, at home, our parents lah yang menjadi sumber inspirasi, pendorong, pembimbing, penyelamat tatkala kite dalam kesusahan. But di sekolah, mana mau carik itiew parents? (this applies to those yang kat boarding school, nah...) - So at times of depression or sadness kat skool, mana lagi we seek help, pendapat al nasihats, not to mention the guidance and galakan rohani dan jasmani, kalau bukan dari our dearly beloved teachers??? So tidak terlalu melampau if I were to say, there (kat boarding school tu la), teachers are like our parents too. Tanpa diaorang, berkorban apa saje demi kite nih, I doubt kite akan be where we are now, kan? Pasal bab mengajar dan tahan kerenah 1001 macam perangai students tu, jgn cerita la kan. Itu dah memang tanggungjawab diaorang. Ini nih yang extra work loads that they have to perform; jadi our guadian and angels nih. Ha, bukan senang nak jaga students in boarding schools.

So anyways, me feel that kite tidak perlu lah kan nak mempersoalkan lagi kredibiliti mereka as a tenaga pengajar, at the same time jadi our second parents. What we should realize adalah fakta2 sepertimana berikut:
  • Tanpa cikgus and cikgis - siape lah kita... a candle without a flame. Kalau ade flame pon, it'll be somewhat like, a black flame - very the gelap gulita perjalanan hidup kita
  • It is not easy being a tenaga pengajar with extra heavy duty responsibilities
  • We crave respect from our teachers - but sometimes, perasan tak kite sendiri tak respect diaorag dulu? I mean, pangkat wise - kita as students memang kena respect teachers - tapi at the same time, kalau kita lihat dari segi umur piula? Memang la kite respect them as someone somewhat older

Ok - now, coming back to the main issue of this entry - lets talk about me (maaati la mek!). Eh!! No no, syillaps lagiks. What I meant was, lets lah u ols read pasal this story, true story, about jasa baik ONE of MY many cikgu2s yang I think I will never forget. It MIGHT not be interesting to some, but it definitely means the world for me. (noticed tak I used, "MIGHT NOT" - so kalau tak interesting tu, paham2 aje lah)... Tujuan mek is to pay respect to my ex cikgu nih...
    It was in 1986, I was in Standard 1, mek jatuh dan luka parah during recess. Imagine, ade these two pathetic students, both sama standard 1 ngan mek. Ngade2 tau diaorang. Diaorang dua orang main kejar kejar achilutchak! Dan keadaannye 3 4 minit sebelum tragisnya kes tu berlaku was this - si A (a boy) dok sebok mengejar2 si B (a girl). And yes, guess guess dimana mek time itiew? YOOO LAH! - di TGH2 diaorang. Si A belakang mek, dan si B tgh mengelak dari A kejar tangkap dia, telah duduk depan mek. Ala ala mek nih ape, PENGHADANG? Or Jaring.net pemisahs ke? Ha, cam tu la lebih kurang. At that time I remembed I was like, "Ape nih? Rimas lah I! Get away from me, urgh!!!" (OK, THAT was DQ). So anyways, si A nih nak get to this B, sudah tolak lah mek ke tepi so that he get his dream girl tu (which apparently now I think, I THINK la, the guy turned solid macho gay, and the girl, well - lets just say she became a lesbian! So much for CHILDHOOD LOVE! Chit!). Tolak pi tolak mai, haiyak! Mek yang jadik mangsa u ols! Mek jatuhs u ols! Jatuh, my knees kena itu batu tanda JKR!!! Astaga! Apa lagik, terbelah la lutut mek bagaikan retaknye muka tatkala bedak sejuk yang dah sejuk keras kat muka tu! Darah piula, bercucuran bagaikan air terjun (Haiyoh! kejis lah perumpamaan mek!) - mek waktu itiew, haiyoh! All I could think of was - O-MY-GOD!!! Cam ne nak menang/ maintain BEST LEGS NIH!!?!?!?!???! LOL! Seriously - waktu, mek hanye thought of my mom, dah feeling nak pengsan, (due to kehilangan blood yang very DER) dan pasal nangis, JANGAN DI TANYA! Bagaikan bergegar itiew sekolah!!! Dan tatkala itiew lah, Cikgu Johari (Allahyarham dah pon) yang can do tu datang to the resque. He was around that area when that tragyc magyc incident occured dan ditakdirkan dia lah penyelamat hidup mek! Di carrynya mek in his arms (very feeling2 ala ala macam dalam citer 'Gone With The Wind' itiew) dan bawak mek gi hospital where my mom came and joined us (tu pun, ALSO cikgu Johari itiew yang called my mom). But see, the power of cikgus - waktu masuk operation theater pon, my mom stood kat belakang sikit as she takut darah and kept on saying "Sayang it's gonna be alright now... ", tapi it was Arwah yang datang held my hands and said everything's gonna be ok kat my ears (which reminds me, bukan ke doctors kena suntik patients kasik tidur before buat operations? KAN? HAIYOH! MEK PUNYE KES!!!!! Dia tak suntik pa per, terus jahit 8 jarum kat my knees sebelah kiri itiew! MAUNYE TAK BERGEGAR BAGAIKAN NAK RUNTUH HOSPITAL TU!!!! - namun lagik kuat ku jerit nangis, that's when lagi kuat Arwah genggam tangan mek... sambil 'shhh shhh shhh... ' kat telinga mek...- haiiii, feeling sat. Eh!) Wasn't that sweet or something?

Too bad, dia dah Arwah dah, died of cardiac arrest (hard attack kots in bahasa biasa). He died when I was in Form 3 kots, terkejut jugak dgr. CD, hang tau kan Cikgu Johari mana I'm talking about tu? Yang duduk kat Tmn Mutiara tu, BS pon tahu mek rase. - sama2 lets, kite sedekahkan surah Al- Fatihah untuk Arwah... (For non-Malays, lets, be silent for 5 minutes, in respect of my late cikgu Johari...)...

*Sambil kesat air mata dan hembus hidung!!!* - So... itu la dia. I mean, citer, jasa, seorang insan bernama cikgu (yang can do dan yang dah jadi Arwah) - tidak perlu dipersoalkan lagi, tidak perlu dipertimbangkan lagi. Murni sungguh pekerti mereka yang bergelar guru, dalam goin' through what ppl say 1001 kerenah pelajars. Its like cabin crew lah kan (eh? Tetiber pulak)...I mean, I've had so many teacher in my life (so do you peeps) tapi yang ini nih, Arwah 's kes nih, it's like, something, yang special lah kirenye dan I will never lupakan sebab, for one thing, dia dah meninggal (when MOST of my other teachers semuenya masih hidup walaupun some mek tak tahu lokasi mereka - and when he's no longer around, I don't get to see him like I see most of my other teachers and talk to them and let them know how am I doin' now. Get the pic tak? *mata dah berair lagik*), secondly, sebab of that kes kat atas tu and the role he played during that historical moments (why historical? Yer lah - history lah dalam hidup mek! Pembedahan secara terjaga pertama dan terakhir mek!)... and finally - sebab..., if you personally kenal him, you would agree that he was one fine very 99.99% sempurna kindda guy... which made him very special among other students and teachers as well... He will be forever remembered...

So anyways, terima lah, all cikgus cikgis around the nation yang baca entry nih... and especially utk Arwah...


SELAMAT HARI GURU/ HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!!!
