I find him

Salam
I found him . Siapakah iteeww??
My favorite teacher of all time. Where could it be if not FB. Yes again.. The whole wide world is really at your finger's tip with FB. Tak payah nak masuk tv jejak kasih bagai :)

Apa lah sangat kan jumpa
Cikgu sekolah rendah, ek eleh.

But to me, it is a big deal because 24 years ago, he left such a great influence on my 12 years old self. I didnt know how others looked at/thought of  him. But he just inspired me.

That timid and not so bright little girl. That lazy to study little girl. That kampung girl who had no dream. That low self esteam little girl who believed she was not destined to study beyond form 3 or 5. *Tak pas kena paksa kahwinlah jawabnya aku* .Until that particularly year, I did not really care where or how I would end up.

What he did ye? He did not do anything. He was just being a teacher. A great one indeed (at least in my eyes) . He was just different. I would say that he taught with "feelings" so of course the outcome was a sincere teaching. And he bonded with his students so well. He created a sense of belonging and camaraderie . Then, he was only 22 years old - very young, and a first time teacher, I think.

So he was my class teacher. He taught us BM and Math and something :) (I cannot remember).

I know that by now he has taught hundred of studenst. He might not remember me at all ( I, myself have hard times remembering my classmates in 6 Cokelat). I was not even his favorite students (tak tahu lah pulak  siapa fav dia :)). I was only his ordinary pupil who always blended into the background of other students. But dalam diam, I adored him. I liked him. My favorite teacher, ever ;). But terbongkar juga dah dalam FB ramai budak perempuan sukakan dia hehe.He might think that he was not that good looking but to some of us *girls* he was our shining knight :):)
Do you think that I was actually smitten by him?? I did not and do not think so  :).

Because I remember great teachers well. Apart from him, there was another one that I met in my secondary school in Kuantan (I haven't found him :(). They were rare to find. So I am lucky that I found a few.

What I am trying to say is that sometime in life, you come across a particular person that touches your heart in an extra ordinary way. And that's what make them unforgettable and special :).

So that what's him to me. I am happy that I find him *fb finds him*. I am happy that he is doing well. I am happy that he is healthy and has happy family. I am so happy *hard to describe*, I feel like I was that 12 years old little girl again.

I told him yesterday that I have this amazing feeling like I was going to cry *emo* *terharu, sebak semua ada *. I told him (via comment box fb) that he was one of the greatest teachers in my eyes . He replied that he was just an ordinary teacher, who teaches with his heart -yang mengajar dengan ikhlas and I should not puji puji him so much. Anyway I wanted to. Appreciation should just be expressed while there is still an opportunity to do so. Bukan begitu ?
My sincere prayer for you, cikgu,  may rahmat, kasih sayang dan perlindungan Allah be with you and your family dunia akhirat. Moga terus sihat untuk terus mendidik anak-anak bangsa.

Till later - Much love ارمايوم

Ps: jgn lupakan guru guru kita dlm doa kita. Siapala kita tanpa mereka.
