Moral support lah sangat...

Baru-baru ni i pi mesyuarat PIBG sekolah anak2 i. Little D dah masuk jah 3 and i baru first time terbit. Well, masa dia jah 1...i was just lost in my own world. Satu benda pasal sekolah dia i tak tau...tau2 je dia ada baju sekolah, buku sekolah yg semua elok berbalut, school badge semua berjahit etc. That's how 'lost' i was in my PhD world. 

Then naik jah 2 fuse i yg terbakar dah ok balik sikit...masa tu memang i merancang nak beraktif dlm hal ehwal anak and their school matters ni. I hated the vending machine at her school with passion. I rasa cam nak cekik orang2 kantin yg menjual tah hapa2 and entice her to spend her RM 1 yg dia ada. Yup...i bagi dia singgit je duit belanja bec dia bawak bekal. Btw, with singgit she can still get nasik lemak, mee etc. Tak tau la banyak mana, kan...but still dia tak pernah complaint. One day a week tak yah bawak bekal and she gets more money to spend to hee heart desires. 

Anyway, i so wanted to attend last year's pibg meeting and talk about healthy diet...but i had a case of low self esteem..me talking about healthy eating?? Look from where it's coming from..kata suara2 sumbang rekaan kepala otak i. On the pibg day itself i chickened out. I conveniently forgot about it.

And then this year...with Baby X entering jah 1...something has got to change. So i dragged MG along untuk moral support. I told him that i want to raise some issues. Not forgetting the much hated vending machine..issue lain was when going through the booklet on the school's past year's activities, takdak satu pun yg berbaur2 charity. The most the pupils got in terms of menengok kesusahan orang lain was if they were to watch 'Bersamamu' on tv. Pastu, the other parents asyik membuat usulan pasal kelas tambahan...parking tak cukup utk drop their kids off...cikgu besar yak yak pasal misi nak dapatkan status SBT..

You know...i ni bukanlah jenis yg sikit2 nak angkat tangan bagi opinion dlm meeting etc. I'm more of a do-er belakang tabir. But i think on that day i couldn't help myself. Obese or not obese, i've to put forward my motion. Lagi2 sebelum tu ada bapak budak ni pun sentuh issue kanti jual junk food. I tengok dia pun taklah hot mana pun..but lengkaplah dia memberitahu dia kerja as pensyarah etc. 

But vending machine punya hal jadi issue kecik pulak pada i masa tu. I was more triggered by the fact that kecemerlangan akademik je yg depa kisahkan..baik parents or the cikgu besar. Its all about how to make the school a more condusive place to excel in their studies. Ok..but is that enough??

So i got up...well actually i menggelitis angkat tangan and rushed to the mic. Of course i mentioned a bit on the vending machine...but i raised the issue of us i.e. Kids, parents and teachers giving back to society. I mentioned about the lack of activities berunsur kemasyarakatan such as melawat rumah org tua, anak yatim, oku, furry sanctuary etc. Berkobar2 i bercakap pasal how kita ni mendidik anak bukan saja utk excel dlm akademik but utk menjadi pemimpin juga. 

I thought i saw MG cringing in his seat...prolly pretending that he didn't know me. Itupun dia dah escape masuk kereta and i fished him out the first time.  I berucap gaya ketua wanita hamno (ni perasan i je lah...MG said i sounded so frigid - not quite sure what he meant). MG pura2 jawab tepon...pastu dia leboh* sekali lagi. Talk about moral support ler sangat, kan?!

And then came to the pemilihan ajk for this year. The bapak budak that cakap kerojenya pensyarah tu got elected for some post. Dia reluctant pun org pujuk...yg aku ni?? I was just one fat makcik walaupun cakap berapi2! (Idak dipandangnya dek deme -aiyok terus kluar cakap cam Pah Bedah).

On hindsight, should have pakai my title when introducing myself. Lagi bagus cakap kerja mana jabatan apa semua...cam pak budak tu...i was just a plain Puan on that day. In fact they even got my name wrong..tetiba je aku jadi Cik Piah! My colleagues said, should have told them yg i ni dlm panel pemilihan utk masuk IPTA...yes folks...we don't pandang A's yang berkodi2 tu ye...klau anak2 uols pi cuci poopoo kat rumah orang2 tua or kandang harimau kat zoo, she'd be laughing and skipping all the way to a place at 'this' IPTA. So, kecemerlangan akademik bukan tiketnya semata2..

That's all this fat makcik has to say.

P/S

Uols tengok wasap kat atas tu...cubaan MG utk melesapkan diri. First time i berjaya panggil dia masuk meeting balik. Lepas i bercakap, leboh terus! Pandai salahkan i yg beranak pulak 😠

*leboh = lesap
