'you are dumb!you are lazy!you are stupid malay!you don't know this simple English word?'
Those are the words spoken out by one that i used to call teacher. yes, TEACHER. I was not good enough in English when i was small. That was the hardest subject i feel .The curses and slaps didn't make me down.
I could remember, when the report card was handed out at the end of that term, my average hovered dangerously close to a fail. But, mama and abah were just calm and smile, while me, crying and sobbing very hard. They went to my school and met that teacher and I watched secretly through the window.
I didn't know the crap they were talking about but I could see the gloomy face of the teacher. My parents are not the kind of exploding their anger to anyone. They'll never ever scold people especially teachers. Maybe, the teacher felt guilty and offending towards me.
But, the stupid thing I did at the time was, coming in with red eyes and a streaming nose and loudly wailed to that teacher telling her that i had tried my best!
'SAYA TAK PANDAI! SAYA TAHU! TAPI, SAYA BUKAN MELAYU YANG BODOH! SAYA SENTIASA CUBA YANG TERBAIK!'
That was funny for the people who never know the words of TRY, EFFORT and DILIGENT.
And after that, mama and abah paid the greatest attention to everything about me, my appearance, health and study. Most of all, they really cared about my education.
So, I studied hard, not only to please them but also because that was the only time i could lose my teacher by proving her that 'I AM NOT THAT STUPID, CIKGU', forget my fears and momentarily escape from her class so full of abusing and insulting.
I got A for English in the UPSR. :) The teacher must have realize something here, that,

Cikgu, saya budak baru belajar,
Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan,
Bukan makian mahupun cacian,
Tapi ajaran yang berkekalan,
Supaya saya ingat akan jasa guru saya,
Bukan dendam, bukan benci,
tapi ucapan TERIMA KASIH yang datang dari
HATI..
