now thats Princess Aurora from the Sleeping Beauty. this is how the story shall goes..
i was marking the CAs for session 2. i sat in between shima n suz. the rest of the collegue were at their respective places. when it reached to Wk 10, the children are required to create a sentence about thier teachers. i came across one of my student's book. this was wat she wrote..
"My teacher is Teacher Nurul. she is pretty like Princess Aurora." and i think theres more but unfortunately i cant recall the whole stanza. but thats not the point. so im not an avid princess lover. and i asked the ppl that sat around me. they were busy helping to mark the books too. i was wondering who is Princess Aurora? from which fairy tale? how does she looked like? so the ppl that sat near me was telling me, the princess from beauty and the beast la. the mermaid la. daman or who said, from the Fairytopia la. but still, we were unsure. i was excited la when my own children said that, coz i believe that children are very honest. they dun write it down because they have to.
then came in an unexpected voice from the other table...
"Ala, Princess Aurora yang tak cantik tu la. Yang muka dia macam bapok tu.."
i was gob-smacked. n it hurts me alot. like a lot la kan. coz i never knew theres a princess that looks like bapok. so i replied..
"eh thanks uh ****." and i gave her a very super dooper jeling uh. nasib baik tak kero mata aku.
dalam hati, eh siak uh. tak agak2 la seh nak jawab. ada ke dia kata princess aurora yang macam bapok. ape budak2 ni suka ngan princess yang muka macam bapok? so shims tried to reassure me and said..
"watever the matter is, u dun look like bapok k. da dun bother.." and she continued marking.
i looked down and onie god noes how soreful it is. hati aku macam disiat2 la. tak sensitive langsung.
tapi its all good la kan. kecantikan takkan kekal. skg muka kau lawa, esok lusa, mana la tau muka aku ni lagi lawa daripada kau.
ye tak ye yana?!
