~till death do us part?~
i am busy finalising my ca2 paper while listening to 94.2FM. yeah, i prefer Warna to Ria. call me makcik-makcik/ auntie for all i care. heh. but eh..don't lah ok. cos i'm not one. hee. faaaaaaar from one k!
i forced bobo to stay up with me while he enjoys blistering his fingers playing PSP. he's right there now, talking to me, eyes (and fingers) glued on his white screen while i am busy typing this away. his voice right now, is like bees humming to me. hee....
ok, right now, is news on Warna. before this was Alleycat's song (i do not know the title) and Sudirman's Salam Terakhir. Touching songs man. damn touching.
the topic on air prior to the songs was about deceased spouse; how one would and should handle it. one of the callers, a man, reminisced his moments with his late wife.
he got me started. i teared. not so badly cos i was trying to finish up my exam paper, remember? but anyhoot, i teared. and bobo had to tease me. of course, being a typical woman/ wife i went "if i die before u, u'll surely be happy rite? surely got new wife asap one. rite b? rite? b? b!"
obviously, i was not entertained.
anyway, i can never imagine the terrible loss if it's written for bobo to leave this world before i do. seriously, i can never imagine. never.
and my dearest sister came to my mind. you know who you are my darling kakak.
for every compliment i had received for being strong, i'd think that sister of mine deserves MORE.
for God has given her the greatest test a wife should ever receive.
the greatest fear every wife possesses.
my kakak sayang, you went through it ALL.

~the countdown begins I~
my favourite boy hero since he was in primary three, will be graduating this year and being a foreign student (from Vietnam) he is 3 years older than his peers. Michael, has brought pride to his name for he has grown to be a very sensible boy. Even when other teachers claim he had been very rude, naughty and misbehaved many times since last year, I am glad to say, he still gives me that utmost respect. He still texts me at odd times. Calls me from end of the corridor just to raise his hand as a gesture of acknowledging me and greeting me with his cheeky smile and a short nod like bow.
Today, during recess, as I was doing my field duty, Michael saw me from one end of the field and walked as cool as he could...haha! teenagers!
"Cher...y cher?"
"y wat darling?" (yes, i call ALL pupils and some close colleagues 'darling'. that has been Ms Shikin's trademark :p)
"y u also wanna quit? cannot tahan ah cher?"
"no lah. it's not that. i wanna prove the world i can do more besides teach! haha!"
"hahaha! cher...actually hor, u should leh. u still so young and pretty must do other things mah. like miss liang rite?"
"really ahh? u find me pretty?"
"aiyahh..ok mah (boy blushes)"
"actually you're right darling. i'm still young. i must do other things."
"lucky u married leh. if not u teach until no one wants u. haha! eh cher, later next year, i come back, all faces i dunno liao.."
"i'm sure ur favourite teachers will still be here."
"but see, within 2 years, so many good teachers left liao. now you..aiyahh. cher dun forget me ok."
"i won't! and u must not forget me either ok."
"of course won't lah."
(at that point, tears were already welling and both teacher and student still maintaining their cool..hehe)
"btw, how did u know about my plans?"
"mr ho lor. he said i must try to make u stay cos he believes u're a good teacher and it's a waste. but hor, i think u are doing the right thing. so i came to wish you good luck."
(seriously, if Michael is not a 15 year old and hormones-raging, i would have brought him close to my chest and give him that tight tight hug.)
"i'll need ur wish again cos i'll still be here for a few more weeks."
"can. for sure one."
"and don't tell the others first ok."
"war lau cher if the others hear then they sure will spread one u know."
"haha! i'm counting on you ok."
"no problem cher."
(by then 2 of my p4 boys overheard our conversation and came running to me.)
"ms shikin, u're quitting?"
"no. says who?"
"but just now u said..."(bell rang....)
"let's go boys."
(ms shikin left the field with a big smile, teary eyes and an open heart.)
above, my P3s in 2005...all graduating this year.

~moving forward part 2~
the feeling i had after officially handing that letter to VP was simply uplifting. there was this immediate flow of relieve and unburdened heart. immediate flow of 'happy' charges in my body. eventhough i had a major disagreement with a fellow colleague whom i regarded as a good friend earlier that morning, i felt lighter (i wish i am!) and i started to smile. btw, that colleague and i made it up by evening. :)
whatever it is, it's time i start counting down.
