In this sense, I was the student in lesson of humility…
Earlier today my university mate come down to my work place bringing with him one young little fellas. “My student” he said. He told me that he score 5As in his UPSR and as a present he bring his student jalan-jalan visit Penang. What really captured my heart was that he took my hand and kiss it as a respect gesture to an eldery, a common custom amongst Malay. I really didnt expect that at all.My heart fill with joy tho little bit surprise and felt apreciated. Somehow my tiredness just fade away with his politeness. Mumbling to myself, “Probably this is the rewards of being a teacher.” Seeing the innoncent little guy walking away with my friend has make me wondering, how life would be if I took different direction. A teaching path…. After awhile I’m back into my usual customer cursing world, slowly forgeting that beautiful encounter my friend’s student.
