I juz found a connection btw my 1st year Gp mentor n my 1st year scriptwriting teacher..they both named after the letter 'A'..n they taught mi English..though from two very different spectrums..i used to tink malay teachers sux..yea,coz my malay sux thx to them hhaha!..kidding..but these two Mr.A sort of change my views i think..for better or worse;)..

First up was another Mr.A called Mr.Ali..or Cikgu Ali from my now defunct/merged primary school..we called him Cikgu Ali..he was a horny one..from a child's POV..ya, he was a 'naughty teacher' ..from the parents' POV..'he is a chee ko pek'..who said that?my mother said one..she knew coz he taught my brother..there once were rumours he stayed in a classroom while a little girl student was changing for a concert..somethin to tat effect ar..Anyway,he also likes to pick his nose when teaching but he was a v.funny teacher..he didnt teach mi much but i knew i had fun in his lessons..he was portly n bald, tall n 'dirty' lol but he's a funny teacher..last i heard, he was selling mee rebus near my primary school..

SEcond was Mr.A..ya we called him Mr.A coz thats how he liked to be called..his name is Mr.Ariffin n he has an accent b'coz he studied political science in dunno whichangmoh country..very talented..he's a Malaysian n he travels back to Malaysia, Johor everyday..he carries an umbrella everyday coz he says the dogs near his hometown will stay away from him like that..he's my GP teacher for first year..he lost our essays on his way to school one morning..he left it in the blue 'bas pekerja' bus and all of us had a good laugh over it..he's a very nice teacher too..we celebrate his birthday even though we were no longer his class students n we made him a collage i tink..a vanguard sheet filled with writings n pictures n drawings if not wrong?..then i remembered juice wrote down 'when will we have our 'lost' essays back?'..damn farnie..he likes to sing during concerts too..he sang a duet with another teacher for one event, and he sang the Carlsberg's theme song at another(or was it the same event)..Once i walked back to the mrt with him n he thought i hate Malaysia coz of the weather or somethin..guessed i left him wif a wrong impression ar >.<..i dont hate johor,i juz hate the kental malay guys..bleah..

Then now its Mr.Azhar..if not wrong, a former sports journalist ritez..I knew he traveled like everywhere n he's damn experienced..i can just go 'and you go whoa, and then you were like whoa..' like Crush the turtle said in 'Findin Nemo'..During orientation, the first time that we DMSM students met him, he 'traumatised' us with questions in regards to the current news..i tot it was no big deal since i gotta read the papers for GP anyway..but i 4got that GP was like way back in Nov' 03 n it was then July 04..busy workin,not enuf reading..i was punished with sore marks..n a wakeup call..Thought we wont b seein him ever..i mean, he was carrying the camera so we tot he was juz a cameraman hha!..So far, his classes are accompanied by part-time lecturers so hardly get to 'personalise' much wif him..maybe tis is how poly lecturers are like..'touch n go' but will be there always to guide you, or left u stranded?lol..Anyway, he 'lasted' with us until now n he's havin his baby now..or he had his baby last Tuesday..So sweet ritez!!..its a boy..i think a boy as the eldest one is always good..yea, brand mi 'conservative' n 'sexist' but i tink it is just the 'right way' to have children..tomorrow must also hand up his essays..lookin fwd to news abt his baby..he'll be one haggard man like every first time father is..^^..

SO there it is..Mr.A's in my life..3 of them..colourful personalities too..n not onli teach differing spectrums, but all of them come from different-pronged kinda lives too..one was a malay teacher in p.sch..one was a political science graduate n now a college teacher..n the last is from the media,traveled the world n now a teacher n a father..Aww..Oh ya, still dunno if mr.A(the real Mr.A) is married yet..he refused to answer that question for the years that we were there...he simply REfused n Avoided our question no matter how many times we, esp Joseph tried to ask or put it in different ways..he called it 'personal' n simply, none of our business....yea..none of mine..i shall zZzzz liaoz n dream of gettin 'A's..not them,but grades 'A'.....if only..*dreams*
