cikgu ros puteh
mr white rose.
i am extremely sure, hillgrovian's 1st batch had had a great pleasure of havin an experienced senior for a malay teacher.
he was really nothin like the rest. he loves sharing with us his life stories. and that made life more bearable. he had this aura of power in him. and i love him for that. maybe im biased.
but i was one of his favourite and i had no clue then as to why so.
there were many incidents i would love to quote.
but let me see what i can recall...
cikgu was standing infront of the class and staring right at me.
"semalam cikgu mimpi. cikgu mimpi pasal adam. dalam mimpi itu, adam dah nak masuk universiti, tetapi ada sesuatu yang menghalang.
(yesterday i had a dream about adam. in that dream, adam was about to enter university but there was an obstacle in the path.)"
he then came to my desk. stared at me. and asked gently.
"adam ada masalah di rumah ya?"
(adam's got a problem at home?)
i was kinda stunned. its like he knew something was up at my home. in which was true.
it was back then when my dad was still a violent raging beast.
i nearly broke down and cried. but i plucked enough courage and said
"tidak cikgu. tiada masalah. (no teacher, theres no problem)" i said
"betul? cikgu ada banyak mimpi pasal awak"
(really? i have dreamt alot about you)
and he gave me a reassuring smile and he carried on with lesson.
__________
yes, he was my motivation. not surprisingly, i was the best malay storyteller in Hillgrove from 2001 2002 and ultimately, they scrapped the competition.
mr liao said to me "you always win, next year no need to join already lah"
and i smiled "you dont like my stories ah?"

"adam ada orang yang punya?"
(adam, are you attached?)
"huh?"
"cikgu ada ramai anak murid perempuan, yang mana adam suka, beritahu cikgu"
(i've got many female students, tell which you'd prefer)
he was standing right infront of my desk (again) when that happened.
i laughed at him, he really brightened my day.
if i could ever see him again right now, i'd kiss him so badly!
really. no lies. i know where he lives though. and i really miss him. i get all fuzzy each time i think of those days with him. i still suck in malay but i got A1 for that during the June O lvl.
it was dope i tell you.
cikgu salbiah and the principal was standin in front of class readin out our results.
"adam nak berapa score?" (whats your desired grade?) cikgu salbiah asked
"erm, B3?"
"B3 only? saya bagi awak A1 sudah" (b3 only? i give u a1 ah)

where is he?
