AN EXHIBITION...

Bila ummi balik daripada berkursus ....I called my PISMP Sains semester 5. They told me that they will be handling an exhibition dekat dewan.... so I was told about it..

As I walked nearby the hall... I saw the preparation for that exhibition....
still I don't make a move to have a look ... I mean really visit that exhibition organized by 'my' students...

2nd day... there were more people... mostly from out of IPPM campus...
I can see that the exhibition is something 'big'..
still I don't make a move to really visit that exhibition....

In the evening as I was on the way home...
RBB stopped by a group of students with KJ jabatan sains...busy watching how they use minyak sawit to turn on the engine....(or something like that... I wasn't sure...).

rupa-rupanya students tu ... student PISMP sains .... bercampur...semester 3 dan 5... kedua-duanya group yang umi sedang ajar dan yang pernah ajar... dan memang rapat dengan umi...

"cikgu... kenapa tak datang tengok pameran kami..." jerit salah seorang daripada mereka.

"mana kamu tahu saya tak datang"....balas umi

"kami pantau cikgu... kami tahu pensyarah kami yang tak datang" hujah salah seorang daripada mereka.

"cikgu... rindulah... cikgu baru balik dari kursus ke?" tanya lagi salah seorang daripada mereka...

umi terkesima... memang salahku... apa nak jawab ni... tak ada reason yang baik untuk diberi bagi menjaga hati mereka.

kadang-kadang kita alpa...a very simple move yang kita buat dapat memberi sokongan moral pada mereka yang memerlukan..

kadang-kadang kita lupa....walau sekecil mana diri kita pada pandangan kita sendiri... ada orang yang menganggap kehadiran kita amat besar ertinya...

so on the way home.... umi masih lagi memikirkan ... mengapalah aku begitu alpa...

sebenarnya... umi tak sangka yang student umi tu notice juga cikgu dia yang tak glamor ni....

gitu lah sangka hati umi...

sapalah aku ni... macam melukut di tepi gantang... hahaha.....

The next morning... as I walked pass the hall.... I met with Azua ... the head of the JPP... one of the student in PISMP sains semester 5....

selepas bersalaman... dia tanya juga.... kenapa cikgu tak datang ke pameran kami?
aduh sekali lagi umi terkasima...

"awak perasan ke yang saya tak hadir " tanya umi minta kepastian..
"memang lah cikgu... kami tengok sapa pensyarah kami yang hadir" azua menegaskan lagi..

memang umi kehabisan idea untuk menjawab....

Buat Azua dan lain-lain.....

Maafkan ummi..

memang kekadang... ada masa-masa... saya 'menghibernate'kan diri.... kata orang alah-alah 'beruzlah' konon. and the last two days were one of my hibernating days... It happened once in several years of my career. It just happened that you guys were busy with your exhibition..

But later in the evening.... as I was driving home...
actually hari ni umi drive sebab RBB ke KL...

and I finally found that I was driving in the middle of the PISMP sains students yang sedang buat experiment... And I was really driving 'through' all of them.. and of course... attracted their attention...
but the funny thing was that...
one of them shouted..

"wooh... Cikgu Halimah drive lah ....satu keajaiban".....jerit salah seorang daripada mereka.

tapi hati ummi puas sebab hari ini umi buat exhibition umi sendiri ..
sebab student umi tu ingat umi ni tak boleh drive...
sebab ke sana ke mari jalan kaki...
atau naik kereta bersama RBB...

Ok... you guys... now u know that actually I can drive...

I will drive only when there is really a need for me to drive...
