3 Kreatif.

3 Kreatif is my new baby.

There are 33 students in that class and this time, I don't have a major problem in remembering faces and names because their names are unique and easier to relate to their faces. The first time I entered their class, they looked so curious. They intently stare at my face that I thought I had kangkung stuck between my teeth. I started off with a dogo-ish joke...thank God they get it! That stopped the intense starings. Hey, I just realised that back at LD being a natural dogo invites mocking laughter from the students but not here! Wow!

So, this morning I had a pleasant surprise from 3 Kreatif.

As I walked the corridor heading towards their class at Block C, I noticed several girls stood on their chairs and cleaning the windows.

I didn't tell them to wipe the windows clean.

I just told them yesterday that "tingu la kalau bisuk kita senang...kita lap tingkap kah...cuci lantai kah...apa-apa ja lah asal kelas kita bersih..."

I was being sarcastic...in a good way.

The boys were also cleaning their side of the windows. Some where seen sitting around but clearly because they were waiting for the cloth...perhaps to clean their side of the windows I presumed? I don't know...a sight like this is not common. It's so rare that I think I should go and buy a lottery ticket.

When they saw me, they went back quickly to their seats. The assistant class monitor signalled the others to get down from their chairs and put away the cloths. I walked into the class, as stoic as I can ever be.

"Siapa suruh kamu lap jendela?" I asked.

One brave soul answered, "Kami sendiri, teacher".

Somebody pinch me, I thought to myself.

"Iya? Bukan ada cigu lain suruh?" I asked again. Everyone shook their heads.

I tried to hide my excitement but I failed.

"IYA??? KAMULAH PELAJAR CIKGU YANG PALING SIOK, BEST DAN MANTAP! Buat la begini selalu ah...bagus la kamu sendiri kasi bersih kelas. Senanggggggggggg hati cikgu..."

They were relieved. Garang betul kah muka sia ni ah?

So, after they cleaned up, we all sat and I decided to do a little research.

"Siapa suka Inggilis?"

Only a couple of hands were shown. I asked the same questions for other subjects. English remains at the bottom. Maths won. Damn numbers.

"Jadi...apa matlamat kamu untuk PMR? Berapa A kamu mau cuba dapat?"

I was quite disheartened at their response but I do appreciate the honesty. The highest goal was 2A. Either they were demotivated or being realistic.

"Jadi yang lain? Kalau 2A berapa B?"

Ada yang jawab 1B, 2B...but mostly 3C, 4C and 5C.

"Suka betul kamu sama C kan? Cacat bah C!" I told them, trying my best to be less sarcastic.

Then Saibi told me...

"C tu Inggilis bah teacher."
