I didn’t know yesterday was Teacher’s Day in Malaysia..
until I read my brother’s blog.
So I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all my former teachers for the all the education, love, scoldings, pinches, canes, etc to me. *tee hee* Especially to the 3 teachers I sayang (adore) the most:
i) Cikgu David Joummy
ii) Mrs. Julia Dawilla
iii) Cikgu Simon Guntalib
Amongst the 3 teachers, Mrs. Julia Dawilla is the most stern and scariest (LOL) teacher. Every student is afraid of her, even her coughs from a distant gave us a shiver! But despite that, I still adore her – mainly because I was her brightest English student in class, hence the extra attention I got from her.
I do not know where these 3 teachers are currently… I’ve lost contact with them when I moved from a city to another. The last time I heard about Cikgu Simon Guntalib was back in 1994 when I saw him singing on channel RTM 1 on TV!!!
If you happen to know either of them, please send them my love. I doubt that they’ll remember me, but I will always keep them in my heart and forget them I never will.
“Selamat Hari Guru!”


That’s so sweet.
But don’t be amazed if they can remember you.
When I had the school reunion, it was 25 years ago that we had school.
Some of the teachers immediately recignised me…by name too.
Amazing!!!

Ah, no wonder I thought the Simon Guntalib name was familiar…one of our local singer pulak :-)

Hehehe, I actually didn’t know he was a singer until I saw him on TV.
Kind of funny seeing him there, as I got used to seeing him in teaching in classes.
