.:: Chosen ::.
Ilyas' teacher called me to remind me (despite she has written in his school diary) to bring his swimming attire for tomorrow. She explained that he was one of the 3 chosen students in her class to participate in a corporate shooting (for Jakarta, i think) conducted in the school.At the same time, I took the opportunity to exchange views about Ilyas with his teacher....
Me : "Teacher Lin, can I know why Ilyas was chosen for this filming session, despite the fact that I know he's the talkative type?"
Teacher Lin : (Giggles) "Well, besides Ilyas being talkative, I've chosen him because I like him!"
Me : "Oh so he's a teacher's pet la!"
Teacher Lin : (Laughs) " You can say so..."
As the conversation with Teacher Lin continues, I gotto know that my son is trying very hard to speak English in class and has shared lots of stories with his teacher (and she's enjoying the stories), even to the extend about Bebeh being unwell recently and Ilyas' recent trip to Bali......
Teacher Lin : "I learnt from Ilyas that his Abah's eye is always covered and he's in pain. Is that true?"
Me : "Yes recently had an op due to contact lens and what more did he tell you?" (I tried to probe her, further)
Teacher Lin : "I asked him further, what's wrong with his Abah's eyes and he told me "Oh Abah mata sakit pasal tengok TV banyak sangat!!!""
Muahkkahhahhahh.....well, that's my dear son, Ilyas!!!!
