the new ostrich in class

Yup , we have a pet and it's an ostrich . Oh , it's huge .. and it's shy .. So why do I have an ostrich in my class ?

Today was a funny day , as usual .. I am so popular that I often have to make rounds to the other side of the building .. the admin building . And there I was , trying to do Pemahaman with a bunch of six year olds and I had difficulty in fahaming the story . It was a simple story -- Buah Durian .

My throat hurts , it feels like a thousand knives going through it .. my nose was runny , I was cranky and I just WANTED TO GO HOME , but I can't because my dear friend was not feeling well , so that was why I was in her class. Oh , but they were good . As I tried to explain the menaing ' King Of Fruit ' , smarty pants insisted that I stopped whatever that I was saying because he wanted to go to the toilet .

To the toilet he did go and I carried on .. that wasn't so hard was it ?

Lo and behold , when I went back to class, R was standing outside the class .. Hmmmmmm , here we go again . I found out that R decided to be an ostrich today . SHe felt big and tall ( which she wasn't at all !!!) and she decided to put herself into a pair of ostrich legs ... no ,we don't have a pair of ostrich legs .. she wanted to feel how was it like, putting her head into a hole , like what an ostrich does ..


She found the perfect object .. mana ada lubang la .... She found a dustbin and in went her head and when my poor friend saw this , she freaked out and asked R to stand outside the classroom till I arrived .

R , R , what should do with you ? THis is not all ..... according to my sources , R ate papers also !! OKay R , after you eat your noodles perhaps I could interest you with the house specialty ..... paper soup , with a dash of pepper , some cilantro and sprigs of scallion and they are on the house !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lambat " Loading"

I just don't understand how some people lambat loading to whatever that they have to think about or do .... I mean it's like this people, but correct me if I am wrong here .. The brain is only 3lbs and yet we walk and hang down our head like as if it , the brain weighs at least 3 kilos!!!!


Okay, here is the truth and I am sure you may have encountered it before . Now , I am not saying that I am a genius when it comes to listening and understanding . I too had my fair share of lambat loading as I was growing up , believe me when I tell you ..

In a meeting , or any meeting , I am talking generally about meetings and later you will see the connection of those who does lambat loading . It is okay to lambat loading when you are young but as you progress, we somehow or rather get rid of the lambat loading skills .. It's a darn good skill.. actually !!!!!!!!!!!!

During meetings ,I see many nodding their heads and it's not just a nod but many nods and one just have to look at those nodding thier heads would come to a conclusion ,that these people understands everything..

Not everything entirely .. too good to be true , right after a meeting and the moment you are out of the meeting room , here comes Bonita or Lolita , asking you ; "Eh, did you understand what was being said ?" I mean .. Whoa ........................ back up ! See , after everything they don't get it
So how long would a person "get it ?" Ah ... this is the lambat loading la I am speaking about .. nod , nod , nod your head till you also pening ...

After seven weeks they finally surface and say , " Oh , is that what you were trying to tell me ?"

Just don't do it , just 'Get it'...................... people .
