It Was Raining... (A simple introduction for Form5 students)

It was raining cats and dogs outside my cozy and warm shelter. Sitting in the old, wooden rattan swing chair, staring silently and alone through the tiny but square window, glancing the bay of penang island. The saying is great, "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". However, it failed to capture my attention. I chose to be a nomad, like a nerdy cloud wandering aimlessly, motionlessly, quietly...

Time flies way too fast, I was at a loss. Yes, indeed I was! Expecting the unexpected, full of anticipation. My mind, complicated at confusion, thinking of the past memories that are still haunting me so badly. I couldn't let go. I couldn't be myself. I succumbed to my sould, a slave to my pride, awaiting for her arrival.

Mother's Day!

Mum, you are a remarkable supermum to me!
You have done so many things to make sure that
your sons are well taken care of, well fed and safe.
Now, you are happily but tiredly looking after your
bull-like grandson who is at times so stubborn,
active but adorable.

Tasting sweetness from bitterness,
happiness from sourness,
This is the life, in this pragmatic globe!

But, even so, the bond in our family is still,
warm and passionate, thoughtful and forgiving,
experiencing blood is thicker than water.

Mum, you make us whole! Thank you for your sacrifices
like a silent contributor, humming lullaby always,
making us filled with joys, smiles and laughter,
from sons to grandson.

Mum, you are gentler than you think,
you are stronger than you seem,
and more lovely than you believe!

I love you and we love you!

NERDY

You can say bad things about me,
Don't spit your stinking saliva to my students.

You can raise your voice to me,
But don't raise unnecessary emotional sounds to them.

You can pour me with cold water,
But don't you ever try to insult KARATE!

All you have done made you nothing but a NERD!
