Chasing after a student

What an adventure I had yesterday.

Si budak ni, supposed to take his PSLE Oral but did not turn up. Jadi, kena lah I gi fetch dia from his house with the OM of de skool naik kereta daewoo.

Pagi-pagi buta gi ketuk rumah orang tu at Clementi. Anyway, he's my student. Memang sudah dijangkakan, yang greeted us at the door is smelly-, groggy-looking lady with a pink night gown. That was the kiddo's granny. Then came the mom, looking no less fresher, with a lill exposed belly and shorts bunga-bunga. Kodak moment.

Found out the kiddo is not at that home and is at Bt Panjang, sleeping.

Jadi, nak pendekkan satu cerita Sejarah Melayu, kejadian yang seterusnya adalah HOD and I di Bt Panjang, mengejutkan si budak ni yang sedang tidur di atas tilam, wearing shorts and exposed boxers.

He refused to go to school. Claiming that he's sick. Actually, after knowing about his background and stuff, I really pity this kid. Walaupun in EM3, he is actually cleverer than most his peers. Kalau tak sekolah, kan sayang tu. So after some coaxing and slow-talk, he eventually got to school juz in time for his oral paper.

Today, it's his 2nd paper. MY paper, Malay language. Although late, he still made it to school. Looking neater and fresher. Alhamdulillah.

He's one problem kid. I don't blame him. I blame his family. I blame the influence they have on him. He doesn't have an attitude problem. He's just bottled up gassy drink shaken to the max and juz waiting to explode. He's crying inside. I know. I juz pray that he has the determination to go thru all odds.

Then I thank God for blessing me a caring and loving family.
