While I was preparing for my finals during my second semester (which has just ended) in UMS, I suddenly thought of my teachers. Those who taught me in uni right down to my primary school teachers. They are:
Primary school 1. Pn Lee - my class and maths teacher from primary 4 to 6. 2. Pn Maria - my BM teacher. 3. Pn Bebe - my science teacher, whom handwriting I admired. 4. Pn Zuzaina - my BM teacher, who taught me karangan, and tutored me at her house. Back then, we would have a mini party monthly after my lesson. She would fry her delicious keropok and we would watch Child's Play together.
Secondary school 1. Mr Mano - taught me English. A fun and witty person. I was nicknamed 'The Eleven O'clock Caller' because I used to call her daughter (my bestie!) around that time everyday. 2. Pn Tan - my class, modern and add maths teacher from form 4 and 5. Nicknamed 'The Dolly Teacher' by me and my friends, as she looked like a dolly; cute in her bangs. She taught the class in a very organised way, which is SO my way, seeing I'm a high C person (refer DISC profile). 3. Pn Saadiah - my chess club advisor. She never failed to entrust me with the club. 4. Mr Tiew - my History teacher, who also used to be my auntie's classmate. What a small world! I'd never forget how he sacrificed his Daim chocolates for me. I still remember, it was a day whereby Jo Lyn and I went to some school for some quiz. I kept asking and he never hesitated offering his Daim chocolates. He also offered us some famous dao sa pau.I also recall typing History exam papers from states all over Malaysia for him. My typing speed was improved because of that.
Pre-U 1. Ms Chia - taught me maths. My favourite! She never gave up on me though I failed her countless times. I owe her a lot. 2. Pn Mahzabeen - my Biology teacher, aka Jeeva's favourite teacher! Haha... A beautiful teacher who loves coffee and comforted me when I was too scared to dissect white mice. I cried in the lab and she kept on telling me I could do it. 3. Mr Latun - taught me PA. A humourous teacher, although sometimes sarcastic, brought a lot of joy to the class. I enjoyed listening to his stories every time. 4. Mrs Lee - my CF advisor. A person who has a passion for God and His people. Kind and always sharing her life experiences. 5. Pn Buyah - my RRVS advisor. A dedicated teacher in educating blind students. Thank you for letting me lead the club and watering plants in the Braille Garden. 6. Mdm Elizabeth - taught me MUET. A person after God's heart. Passionate in teaching her students to speak good English.
University 1. Ms Ann - taught me Grammar and about life. She never failed to attend all my curiosities. If you know me, I am not easy at all to entertain. 2. Profesora Consuelo Cardenas - taught (and will still teach) me Spanish. She, too, will always stop just to listen to my questions. She enjoys sharing her stories and taught my class to sing in Spanish. 3. Raimon & Moses - taught me how to play violin. They are like friends more than tutors. 4. Dr Rosni - taught me Basics of Food Science and Nutrition & Statistics. A lecturer who was and is concerned of his students. He goes all out to teach, while having his jokes at the same time. I enjoyed his lectures. 5. Dr Yasmin - taught me SPSS (Statistics). A very intellectual person. Always giving advise to her pupils on how to succeed in life. 6. Dr Lee - taught me Physical Properties of Food. Most of the class are afraid of her. But there is no doubt she is good in teaching. 7. Mdm Fan - taught me Cell Biology. A soft-spoken person. And loves to teach. It was amazing how she never scolded the class for not paying attention. 8. Mr Arul, Mr Romzi, Mr. Sohaimi, Mr Jamsari & Pn Ernie - my PPIB lecturers who taught me Study Skills and Techniques, Ethics for Professional, Communication and Professional Speech, Hubungan Etnik & TITAS repectively. They are strict, friendly, funny and dedicated in teaching. I thank God I picked the right sections to be taught by them.
Dear teachers, I thank you for teaching me the things I need to know in class and about life. I am who and where I am today because of you. Thank you for sacrificing your time and effort to educate the younger generation, namely myself. I know it is not easy at all to bear with me. And I thank you that you did. Words could not express all that is written in my heart, but I just want you to know that even after all these years, I have not forgotten you. Thank you for being who you are. Special, precious and wonderful. You are the best. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you once again...
