10 minutes

venue: classroom
time : 10.10am
attendees : 12 out of 20 first year students

2 hours seminar (tutorial) session started at 9.00. students had finished the first part of the task and i was delivering a short lecture, when one (mak tam) girl entered the room, without saying sorry for coming in late & disrupting my class. she sat down and asked the guy beside her about the handout.

i asked her "why are you late?"
she answered " i woke up late" WAAAHHHH boleh jawab macam gitu...
apa lagi... cikgu pun hot laah, tapi maintain cool lagi.
so i addressed the whole class "never come in late for my class. 10 minutes late or dont bother coming in at all" (better late than never atau biar lambat asalkan selamat tidak relevant lansung..)
and she replied "but i was only 10 minutes late.." cikgu dah speechless.
at that point, all the others were looking at her; then one boy said "u sure u are in the right class?"
the boys bisik2 - must have gone out last nite and overslept.

rupanya tersalah tengok timetable akibat dah lambat and went into the wrong room.
