Teacher's Day meant so much to me. Why do you ask? Because I just love my teachers (awwwww hahahaa) Seriously! I think during my school years (and post-SPM years), I liked to give something to my favourite teachers. Be it a small gift or just a card, but just about anything to wish them Happy Teacher's Day.
This is the logo of my beloved primary school. I was a student of Sekolah Kebangsaan Gita from 1996-2001. The school is just a 5-minutes walk from my house; you can practically see the school while standing in front of my house. I had some really nice teachers while I was there; and I really enjoyed being a part of the school community.
And this is Kolej Datu Patinggi Abang Haji (DPAH) Abdillah, where I went for my secondary years (2002-2006). This school held so much bittersweet memories for me. I found great friends here, and get to know some really awesome teachers as well. Even though I the results for my exams and PMR and especially SPM sucked big time, but I blame myself for that and certainly not the teachers! (Even though I had some really really boring teachers haha).I remember celebrating Teacher's Day at both of the schools. The celebration for Teacher's Day is just the same for every school; both of mine are included. Each and every year, we would assemble at the school hall, listen to the headmaster's/principal's and a few other teachers' speeches, then there were performances by students, dedicating songs and poems and stories for the teachers. Some of the teachers also showed their hidden talents by singing a few songs. Then there would be the moment when teachers would be given small tokens of appreciation and the students sang the sentimental classic song of "Terima Kasih Cikgu" at the end of the assembly. Many cried while singing the song, students and teachers, and this happened every year.
And those who came from Malaysia's schooling system, don't you dare say that you don't know the song "Terima Kasih Cikgu".
When I was in secondary school, my best friends and I tried to be creative on Teacher's Day. I remember on one of the Teacher's Days during secondary school, we gave a coffee maker for the teachers and placed it at the staff room. And a few times, we cards and pinned them on the notice board at the staff room's entrance. And I remember a particular huge card with our pictures glued on the card along with our names. And yes, I think that card was my idea.
And I don't know why were we being so generous when it comes to Teacher's Day.
But last year, I didn't get to visit any of the schools as I was really busy with other commitments. Instead, I sent a text to the teachers whom I still in contact with, wishing them a Happy Teacher's Day. But this year, I feel bad coz I didn't even get to meet them and even text them or something. Aw sedeh :( But its okay, when I get home for holidays later, I wanna go meet my favourite teachers yaayyyyyyy (okay over di situ)
So here, I just want to say Happy Teacher's Day to my teachers at Sekolah Kebangsaan Gita and Kolej DPAH Abdillah, Kuching. Thank you for your effort in teaching me all those years, and for your guidance and encouragement. Thank you again and God bless. :)
Terima Kasih Cikgu
Hari pertama masuk sekolah
Tak pandai membaca mengira
Tetapi cikgu begitu tabah
Mengajar kami sungguh-sungguh
Bermula ABC sampai Z
Hitung 1 sampai 10
Dari ejaan dan kira-kira
Kami belajar dengan lancar
Berkat kesabaran guru bijaksana
Memberi pelbagai petunjuk
Hari demi hari kami pun mengerti
Pelajaran nilainya tinggi
Kami ingat setiap masa
Jasa guru mendidik bangsa
Sambutlah ini ucapan kami
Terima Kasih Cikgu
:')
