it saddened me that some parents were so crazy about academic performance rather than character building. met lots of them wic make me sometimes avoid talking to them. imagine listened to d rambling about how gud their children are when in fact there were many a times i wish i could throw the children tru the window (dulu MS Tai, our english teacher masa form one n form two suka ckp mcm ni).
excel in academics, sports and extra curricular activities really make them think they own the world. in a simpler term- POYO.
i met Cyrus/form 5 at State Level Athletics Championships, in Manjung recently. He took part in 200m and 100m. Broke records in both event.
well... many records have been broken.. big deal... but then it was his personality that distinguished him from others.
when his coach talked to him, while others suka menjawab2 (termasuk norizan adnan) he would listen attentively.
when one of the team-mate complained that he got stomachache and 'loya-loya' thingy, naturally its him who helped the poor fellow.
when a girl lost her handphones, he took an effort to find the culprit, to the extend making him apologize.
when another boy were so down (ni sy tambah2 je based on his expressions unless memang muka dia cenggitu) he was there to lift him up.
the things that i admired most was this..
few boys we discussing in tamil. when i came and sat beside them, they greet me. then continued their discussion wic revolved around d next day important events. he was d only one whho switched to bahasa, eventhough the rest still use their mother tongue.
honestly i really don mind because i was doing something else at that time, but still... a simpler gest
