If you can't do big things in big ways.... do big things in small ways..

My accounts teacher, Miss Rahayu is a really interesting lady. She's the type of person that speaks anything and everything on the top of her mind.
And so happens, there is ALOT of things on her mind..
And she has a really high tone to her voice, so she speaks quite funnily..
lolz..
Yall should spend a day in her accounts class..
If yall dun gain abs by the end of class laughing, I'll salute you..

She's a really chillin teacher. She doesn't mind if you come 1 hour late to class and learn fer the remaining 15mins.. and as long as we show up, she'll mark our attendance..

She allows us to bring our breakfast to class.. I-pod, Laptop, etc etc..
Lolz..
People even play dota in class..

Despite all this,
When she teaches.. she really gives a 100%..
and the class gives full attention..
She controls the class very well to ensure we dun't go overboard but still keeps the class chillin and fun~!

She's Chinese mixed Indian, but Married a malay.. so she's muslim..
So there you have it..
The whole of Malaysia in one person...

She kinda married a Jerk..from what she tells us.
He's a lousy husband and a bad father..

Dispite treating her and the children badly,
When they got married, he registered a credit card under her name..
And endded up spending about 30k...
When they got divorced, my accounts teacher was burderned with 30k worth of debts..

She spent several years going in and out of court fighting the relentless battle to be release from the debts and to gain custody of her 3 children. In a nuthsell, you can say she leads a really hard life. She still manages to keep a smile on her face day to day. She's a realy emotional person. She laughs really easily and crys like the Ulu Kelang River. She doesn't just hA-Ha laugh..
She BUahAHAHAHAHAHhahahaHAHaha Omigosh.... HaahhhihihhohohhuhHUhuhuhu.... laughs..

And sometimes, she combines them both!

So anywayz..
She won custody of the children but she lost the credit card case.
So she was blundered with 30k to pay off from her 2.5k a month salary and with 3 children to feed.

A month ago in class.. due to her I-Speak-What's-On-My-Mind-Syndrome, She accidently blurted out that she had a job offer to teach at a school in Saudi Arabia...
With a monthly salary of 5 times more than what she's currently getting..
But it was yet to be confirmed... So if the arrangements and all mess up, she'd continue teaching.. If all is well, she'd send in her resignation letter.

She told us not to let this information fall into the wrong hands,if not she'd fall into alot of trouble. We agreed, but we often made fun that we'll tell if she didn;t give us good grades on our tests or assignments ..etc etc..

Anywayz,
This went on till last Monday...
I came to class, and we start fooling around... as usual..
As Miss Rahayu continued writing notes on the board.
One of da doodz in class then took a letter on her table and started playing with it..
.....Dun ask why..

She then snatched the letter back, and for the 1st time, she yelled at us..
STOP PLAYING THE FOOL..!
THIS IS MY LETTER! IT'S MY OWN PRIVATE THING!
Silence then crept into the cold atmosphere as we stonned with shock at the sight right before our eyes...

She then start crying..

Ms. Rahayu: From tomorrow onwards, I won't be teaching you..

SOme dood: Why Miss Ayu?

Me Rahayu: *With tears rolling down her face, and a stuttering voice*

I have been forced to resign by Taylor's College. Last friday, I was called into the office and was told that the head lecturer of accounts was informed that I was leaving and I was told to explain myself. Now, I'm forced to resign without this month's pay. And now, I don't have enough money to move to Saudi. PLease copy the notes on the board while I go down and deliver this letter of explanation to the office.

Apparently, someone from one her 3 classes asked the head of accounting lecturer if she was going to teach thier class after Miss Ayu leaves..
So, Kantoi la..

Personally I don't blame the culprit for kantoi-ing teacher..
He/She wuz jez worried about who wuz gonna teach us, like any student would.
But I ber-keh poh and went ta find out who did it anyway..
Kinda expected it..

So, she came back to class apologizing for how she acted... and started crying again...
Because we ber-keh poh.. ask her summore stuff..

But was more chillin already...
She was joking and all...
So she was crying and laughing at da same time..
and she was like...
I know i sure cry one today... so I bought one big set of tissues..

She pulled out a humongous set of tissue packers from her bag...
And started telling us story about buying tissue.. and how she got discount from some worker who only knew how to speak thai..

Made the whole class laugh and turned the atmosphere around...
She also said it's hard for her now to move to Saudi, now that these complications has stepped in the way..

So after class we were like sorry sorry and all..
And she was like.. no no. i don't blame any of you..

We soon found out that she had to pay back 3 month's salary to Taylors coz she was suppose to give 3months notice upon resignation and work without pay.. (Taylors Policy). She then explain that she doesnt have enough money to pay Taylors and would pay the money in a time span of a year. Taylors admin then threaten to sue her.
So she was really lost..

Few of us felt really really bad about whut happened and decided to talk about whut we could do fer her...

We thought of raising funds by organising sumthin..
But she was suppose to leave on Friday..

So we concluded that the only way was to get people to donate "generously" in order to subsidize her salary that she was suppose to get...

For the next few days, we went round hunting her ex-students and her current students telling them her bleak situation..

One of her studens from period 5 who's close to her donated a hundred ringgit..!
And she not the kind of person who is really rich that uses money as toilet paper kinda person..
So yea..
many ppl gave from their hearts..

So on Thurs..
We rallied up all the money we could get and it totaled about 1.5k.
Not exactly enough to subsidize but yea.. It was the best we could do in 2 and half days..

So at the end of her class at period 3, Bobby tossed me a bulky envelope..
"Nah.. u give to her.."

So I went up to the front of class, got everyone's attention..
And started to make one of my emo speeches...
Gave her the card first..
Then I mentioned about how sometimes in our perils, we wished that some how, some way, somebody could help us find a way out, maybe an angel or sumthing..
Today, we wanna be that angel, to make that fairytale come true..
So we collected some money from the bottom of our hearts...
Then suddenly!!

She burst into tears..
Noohhh..... I cannot...

Then I mentioned how it was partly our fault by conjuring about her moving in our jokes..

Then she was like.. "No.. I don't blame you.. I never did... I blame myself.. Sometimes I say too much.. coz i dun treat yall like students, I treat yall like brothers and sisters..

I then interrupted her "That's why you deserve this more than any other teacher..... you treat us like brothers and sister.. not like students..."

I found myself with a ball of uncomfort in my chest.. Feeling as if I was about to cry..

But nOhh.. Tahan... must be manly and macho..!

I looked around the class.. and found everyone tearng...
Even the guys..!
Either it was a touching moment or the guys tryng to act sensitive to the girls..

Anywayz..
She got up..
Gave me a hug and everyone made a line waiting to hug her and offer our last words before she left..



She then stopped half way and was like..
"Wait...!!! Must change tissue..."
She opened another tissue packet and continued with the "ceremony"
lolz..

She was like "Thank you so much.. Only God can repay you.. etc etc"

Period ended with photo sessions after everyone wiped their tears off...

P.s. Ken teared too..! I tahan Macho =O)
