may 16 is teacher's day (malay: hari guru) in malaysia.
this date was chosen because in the same month in 1956, the federal legislative council of the malay states had received several suggestions (documents) from the education committee regarding teachers' day as the base of education in malaysia. the document, known as the razak report, has become the foundation of education in malaysia ever since. although it is not an official school holiday, celebrations are usually held on this date, or earlier, if it falls on a saturday or sunday.
teacher's day around the world is not celebrated on the same day. in some countries, teacher's day is celebrated on working days. whereas, in other countries, it is celebrated on holidays. however, the day of celebration, itself, holds no significance. what matters, is the feeling behind the celebration of teacher's day.
so me being one of the PTA's committee member, was rather damn busy running around here and there to get things done with our activities. one of them is this high quality towel gift for all the teachers of puteri's school (pssttt... also mine). we just hope that the teachers like our gift, although we know that the gift can't be compared to what all of you teachers have done so far. really. we will present this to the teachers next week as the school will only celebrate their teacher's day then. take note that for this year we have decided to make this as a surprise for the teachers. so for the time being, they are all been kept at my house ;)
i would like to wish happy teacher's day , especially to cik hajjah nazipah, puan hajjah zawiyah, mrs silva, mrs wong, puan maimunah, my classmate fau whose now being called as puan fauziah ahmad and all teachers in malaysia. we've met many teachers in our life journey some just pass by but some leave a mark in our life.
i wish there is a way for me to ask for forgiveness from all my teachers for all the wrongdoing i've done to them. i, kuE, ex-student of SK Datin Khadijah (1979-1984) and SMK Raja Perempuan Kelsom (1985-1989); would like to ask for forgiveness from all my ex teachers-- "maafkan saya cikgu di atas semua kesalahan saya dan halalkan ilmu yang dicurahkan selama ini".
so what about you people, who do you remember right now?
