It was this very nice morning, Mum took a leave off, then, we headed to Bank Islam to get some university fee payment done.
A stack of money, pricing rm2000.
Then, we went to school to get some certificate signed by Principal, but unfortunately, he's not in.
So, we ended up waiting for awhile before Mr. Wee saw me and invited me in to sign my papers for me.
Long talk about how I should study overseas next time for my Master level and stuff.
Then, I met Dr. Chai who was talking to 2 seniors, one year older than me, asking him to certified their certs for university too.
But then, the old man here, proudly told them to just get them certified by a counselor teacher upstairs.
(Which on the other words, his signature is too pricey to be signed on the purpose of certifying certs only?? I doubt that! Not big special at all, Dr.)
And remember, this is a typical type too.
Afternoon session prefects on role calls.
After certifying my certs, I decided to wait for a little while for Mr. Ang.
Just to have some regular chat with him and all, so long didn't see this adorable man dy.
So while waiting, I met my former Chemistry teacher, Pn. Chong.
Hence, we talked while strolling at the canteen area.
And this is the unlucky moment to have meet this old woman there.
Do not even want to mention her name, but those who ever attacked by her, sure recognise this.
Me: Good morning, teacher. (To say the least,there're very few students who would even bother to greet every teacher, even those who're not teaching them, in school. I, as the few, owh, this is definitely something glad to share, I'm very happy that I still possess this habit to greet every teacher, each whom I saw. Hence, politely, with a slight bow, I greeted her.)
Old woman: (Did not even bother to turn her body, peeped on my attire and exclaimed) Oh, how come you wear like that to school? This is a school, you know. You shouldn't wear like that to school. (Followed by, okay, this is the most irritating and annoying and rudest part) Tsk tsk tsk! (She shooked her head, not even bother to turn her body to face me, still, side peeping. Hate this.)
Burning, I tried to explain.
Me: Erm, teacher I just dropped by to....... (not even finish my sentence)
Old woman: No, no,no... Even just drop by also shouldn't enter the school with these! (the hands crossed in front of her chest, eyeballs turn up and down on my attire on the very proud manner)
Still, not to lose my manner(not like her, how rude she is), I apologized.
Me: Sorry, teacher.
Old woman: Next time don't wear like..THAT! (still not looking at me.)
Then, my tiny little heart got so disturbed by this incident.
I could not understand what have I done to deserve this treatment?
Not to say proud, I was never the type of student whom teacher would give bad comment on(talkative is not one....cos teacher usually didn't do it in harsh way, just a small comment).
And, I certainly not the type of student who slacks my studies and gets blacklisted for bad behavior.
And off all, in attitude throughout the conversation, I did not act like I'm here to show off my legs or even show off my hair- attitude. Not even like girls who've dropped out of school, came back with trendy look to attract attention, which in we commonly called Lala.
I am not.
I did not.
Thus, what's with the whole attitude?
Not that noone wear shorts (or even shorter than me) in school compound.
Band members?
Choir members?
Ex-seniors?
Sure they do.
And during camp?
Scouts?
(No offense. It's just examples that many do wear shorts and I personally do not think it's a wrong)
The purpose of not wearing shorts is to forbid some girls who tend to wear hot pants who did it on purpose to attract attention which is menjolok mata.
And this?
I personally think I wore t-shirt instead of singlet(a plus)
I wore shorts which does not seem like a panties-length (another plus)
I'm so on fire to be commented like this.
My self-esteem told me I should not be accused over some purpose which I did not mean to commit in. Like show off or attract attention or act trendy.
(Btw, even if you wear jeans, long sleeves, you also attract attention in school, basically, the juniors would love to glance at their seniors.)
I told mum the whole incident in the car.
A conclusion we drawn.
There're just this typical teachers (like Dr.Chai and old woman) who always thought they're the top, and without knowing, them who always teach people to be elegant, well-behaved, polite and all, were doing all sorts of stuff, contradicting themselves.
They're not polite, kind and helpful.
Rude and ruthless.
Not humble or dedicated.
And rude.
Did I mention this?
Oh, I did.
Guess it's just not enough.
Rude.
You're a teacher.
You told people not to judge a book by it's cover.
And now you turn over your own statement by doing it exactly.
Then, you told us not to look down on other person.
Again, you did it by judging and judging, comparing and within your own small world, just because you've never heard my name, doesn't mean that I'm a small useless, not studying students who stroll in school compound while others are wearing uniforms studying Form 6, which you probably thought, IF I WERE STUDYING I WOULD BE IN FORM 6 ART CLASS THE LAST. I guess.
I do not want to judge you.
I said all these based on proof.
Imagine, a student, a top student, for example G went back to school in the exact attire like me, you won't even bother to look at the attire and comment, nor presenting the awful slanting look, you would just have a deep conversation with her on her studies now, you would want to know, you would want to stick onto the clever and popular ones.
I hate this type of people.
You know, by doing so, not only you are missing the wonderful person in your life, but you're also degrading yourself as someone not worth-talking to.
I've strive so hard throughout my teenagehood.
Studying has been a very important part in my life.
One the many reasons is because, I do not want my family nor I to be looked down by those who think they're of high-class family and too elegant to even bother on us.
I studied hard and I never did anything bad to exchange results which I did not deserve.
Hurting others or blackmailing or threaten.
Non of these.
Now, the flowers are blooming.
I thought finally, maybe I could loosen up a bit.
I have gained many's recognition.
Today's incident is definitely a disappointment.
But, I thank God for giving me a way to realise, when people look down on you or being harsh to you, the best way is to show the best attitude and behavior in front of them.
Be thankful for they let you know the other part of the world with human like them.
I should not be proud.
I shall thank her.
I have to keep repeating this really endure the pain in my heart.
Have you ever experience being accused over something so bad that you wanted to cry?
And misunderstand?
Oh ya, to clarify one misunderstanding.
I did not wear this attire directly from home to school.
The whole morning, I have been from here to there, a few places; banks, post office, photostat shop before finally reached school.
What a hot day.
And first plan is, if only we managed to settle everything before 12pm, we could stop by school to get the photostated certs signed.
So, it's not by any intentions that I purposely wore that to school and it would be impossible for me to drive home and get changed before going to school after whole morning, busy.
Afterall, the car is filled on fuel not plain water.
*hot*
Photo taken with Hui Ching, who purposely told teacher she wanted to go to toilet and ran down to chat with me. =)
I tied my fringe up.
Lunch in the car.
Then, we went to cousin's house to visit the newborn again.
Aww~
So cute right?
Adorable lar...
Wish you grow up healthily and happy always =)
