Thanks to my Darling Friend (way to go, Azack!!) for going thru all the trouble to make my virgin trip to visit you a memorable one.. hahaha.. InsyaAllah it'll be.. Thank You Mum & Dad for trusting* me enough to let me go on my own!! :) Sigh.. Can't wait... (Sarling, Sita Swill Smiss Syou Stoo! see see...)

The Virgin Traveller :)

And So....
Hmmmm..
Whatever happened to me? Nothing much really.. I'd oral testing today. Ever tried imagining what its like testing 60 odd kids ranging from 6+ to 11+, their spokenmalay? Let me tell you something, it's horrible!!! Not only was the weather not cooperating, the kids usage of "nahu"(which is grammar for those non-malay speaking ppl out there) is terrible, their malay vocab is interchangeable with words from the Oxford Dictionary(gives a whole new meaning to being a bilingual!!!) BUT, i have to help these kids, how do one propose doing that? By being utterly LENIENT!! Can you guess how many of these BI-LING-UAL kids did well today? Well almost 3/4.. oh well... And Someone came in the midst of it all (i was in the middle of testing a P5 boy)
This was how the convesation went:
Person A: Redha did you teach your kids the 3-parts to oral?
Redha: (pauses and signals to poor kid in front to stop) Errr... Yes, i did. What's the matter? Is it really important?
Person A: Weeellllll.... your kids didn't know the difference between the 3.
Redha: Oh! (pauses to think.... should it matter?)
Person A: But, its alright... Only 2 of them did that.. they couldn't answer my question.
Let me stop right here and point out that it doesn't matter if the kids don't know the difference between the 3 sections, what matters is for the teacher to make them understand the Supposed Qn, ANd PROMPT!
Oh Well...
