Dear mr Foo,
I feel very disgrace because I didn’t score my Chemistry in SPM. I’m sorry, sir. Hontou ni moshiwakearimasen. *bow m(_ _)m
Demo sa, I really want to thank you for being the reason why I love Chemistry so much. You’ve gained my respect since the first time I’m in your class. That was when I was in form 3 and have you as my Science teacher.
I never have any intention to sacrifice my relaxing and precious Saturday and Sunday. So, I decided to have any class during weekdays. As a result from my sis’s recommendation, your class, either on Tuesday or Wednesday that time, have been the chosen one for me.
The class started right after the school ends. So, I’m always ended up being the most ultimate latecomer. No one can beat me for being late in that class. For the first few weeks, the management still can forgive me for being late till one day I’ve been called by the management for being late too often. Then, I was told to change the class. That time, I’ve become too attached with your class and didn’t want to change the teacher. At last, I sacrifice my weekend (not sure is it Saturday or Sunday) simply just for your class.
Then, coincidentally, I’ve got to the same class with Mahira. I don’t think I have ever told anyone about this but I did bought a card for the Teacher’s Day for you. Demo, I accidentally bought the one with flowers and many kind of girly stuff on it. At last, I didn’t even give you anything on that day.
There’s one time, it was Mother’s Day, you told us, who forgot about the event, to give just a few second of phone call, outside the class for sure, to our mother just to wish them ‘Happy Mother’s Day’.
At the end of the lesson after PMR, you’ve exposed us to chemistry. So, that was the first time when I fell in love with Chemistry. I still remember that moment when you said that I’m a very fast learner because I could memorize those element and symbols faster than you thought. You even suggested me to be a chemical engineer.
Then, when I was in form 5, I was desperately searching for your class. Knowing that you only have a class once a week, it kind of disappoints me. Worst, it happened to be on every Tuesday right after the school ends. Well, so called ‘after the school ends’. Be in that kind of school, it’s good to be truth that our school ended at 1.50 pm.
Your class started at 2.45 pm while my school ended at 2.30 pm. It spares me around 15 minutes breaks before I started another lesson. It took around 5 minutes to get there from the school, plus with traffic jam, then it left me only 5 minutes to take my lunch and have some rest.
Still, I have to admit that, I’m proud of myself for usually being the first one who switched on the air – conditioner. (^.-)v
*Proceed
I still remember that time when you asked me to finish the meal even though you’re about to start the class.
‘’Your mum made it so, finish it’’
‘’It’s okay, finish the meal while I distribute the paper’’
‘’Sorry. I’m a bit early today. Just finish your meal’’
Since it gave me a really small time for me to rest, sometime I fell asleep during your class. Moshiwakearimasen *bow m(_ _)m
And yeah, just like other teachers (people?). You will and always, advised me to improve my handwriting.
‘’Jawapan awak dah betul. Tulisan kasi betul sedikit’’
‘’People! Listen. Please careful with your writings!’’
You are one of a kind, sir. Thou some students find you kind of boring but I really love your teaching method. Be it the tough one you always came out with something funny and interesting way for me to understand what you’re saying. Sometimes, you would come out with funny reaction. Then in other time, you would come out with new dances.
‘’Ion cannot swim!’’
‘’Always look for the longest chain, no matter how bengkok or ridiculous the shape is’’
‘’Don’t forget the alamat for the methyl group. They need alamat too. So that we can find their home (name of the chemical)’’
Even it just spare me 5 minutes to take my lunch and some rest, but I don’t care about it. I even skipped the additional class in school and the sports practice simply for your class. I don’t know why and how but you really gained a respect from me.
‘’S******, you should improve your form 4’s syllabus. I know you can score for your SPM’’
I’m sorry, sir, for letting you down. Thou I really think that I did my best but I’ve should do better than that. Once again, moshiwakearimasendeshita. *bow m(_ _)m
Please don’t think that I’m biased. I really thank to other teachers as well. Most of them even have thought me for more than a year. Hontou ni domo arigatou gozaimasu! *bow 90 degrees --(_ _)--
It’s just that, I see something different in him.
