37 years later

i was honoured that my secondary school teacher, Cikgu Mohd Nordin Abdullah paid a visit at our humble abode this afternoon. a bit unfortunate that my family couldn't meet him for they were at work/school.

 

i knew cikgu is in Galway, Ireland for his daughter's graduation and also holidaying in Scotland and England and i asked him to drop by in Notts on his way down south; kalau berkesempatan. he called me in the afternoon from Liverpool while i was at work (not been to office for a week - nasib baik meja ada lagi...) and so i dashed home to clean the house - to make it a bit presentable  and prepare some food. Thank God for cheesecake shop and co-op; a real life saver!

 

Cikgu Nordin was my  teacher when i was in form 1-3 at Sultan Sulaiman Secondary School (better known as SS) in KT.  after my father passed away in june 1977,  i stayed on at the school until i finished my LCE exam and moved back to Pasir Mas and had lost contact with my SS friends until we were "re-united" on fb few years ago. who would have thought that i would meet up with him again after 37 years and in Nottingham!

 

i guess, we always remember our school teachers/lecturers especially those who played significant roles in our lives. Cikgu Nordin had helped me  go through the tough time towards the exam. Jasa mu dikenang & terima kasih sekali lagi..Insyaallah kita jumpa lagi.  the next time we go back to msia, will try to bring my family to visit you & yours.  as you said before you left  "you owe me one!"

Lil missy on "The Wan (One) Show"

Dolly Parton's Imaginative library provides free books for children from birth to 5.  Dolly Parton started this imaginative library at her hometown in US and has now expanded across US, into Canada and UK. so far, 40 million books have been mailed to children and keep on growing.

Mrs Mitchell from lil missy's school has worked hard over the past 8 years to set up the library and fundraising to keep the library going. DP is in UK to promote her new album and also the library and was a guest in The One Show last Friday. BBC interviewed a few students from Junior school who have been in this library programme since they were still in reception class and also filmed the  Choir (lil missy's in the choir) singing some DP's songs to be "presented" to Dolly on Friday night.  the kids didn't have any practice at all,  the songs were learned on Thursday when BBC crew came to the school.   she was so excited.. and mummy too of course..

lil missy doesn't know who is Dolly and how she looks like. Alison, her friend Lucy's mom described Dolly as a petite woman  with big hair and tiny waist and VERY DISTINGUISHED !!

my friend Eva took some pics from telly screen and emailed to me.. thank you dear!!

they sang a few songs  including Love is Like a Butterfly and 9 to 5.
