THE RETURN TO BETTER DAYS EVEN BEFORE PRE-COVID! RATHER THAN HELMED IN THE BURDENING OF PREPARING FOR A LIVING DESTRUCTION WITHIN N WITHOUT DOWN UNDER A NUCLEAR SUB BURDENING N BURNING ITS PEOPLES I WOULD NOT STAY ONE MINUTE LONGER FOR FREEDOM N LEISURE COMFORTABLE LIVING, THO POOR AS I AM, TO HAVE BORN N LIVE LEISURELY N COMFORTABLY IN MY ISLAND IN THE SUN, PENANG! IT’S MINE, IT’S GOD GIVEN! AMEN! KK N MAMA
That’s what they said. I taught in schools, in colleges and university. Then retired!
The most satisfying reward I got was when walking along the street an old student would call out to me, “MASTER, HOW ARE YOU, SMILE N WAVE ON!”
That was respect! Good enough!
My loving late mother used to tell me for a teacher nothing more disrespectful shown by an ex-student was when he met him the student would look at him n turned his face away! In some worst situations he would spate at him!
“Master” is an enderment term used by students in Penang only! It was a heritage since the British teachers started teaching here! Could have been over hundred years!
The photos published so far might not be able to capture again-portraits n scenerios of street activities! Time n space or distances could not be repeated by having to follow the “new norm life.” I treasured the old pics!
