This evening had been a very fruitful one with some quality hours of learning time.
In the midst of it all, didi asked me why I not become a teacher. In return, I asked him back if he thinks I'm being a good teacher. He said yes which sent me straight to the moon. I do think we are all learning much from each other, me being a more patient one at that.
After I was done with meimei and korkor, I was left with some BM learning time with didi alone. The lesson on its page had something to do with ijazah, pensyarah and some pictures of university learning and convocation day.
I translated the word ijazah to "degree" and asked him if he knows what degree is. He nodded his head and said it's the temperature you take with a thermometer. Haha! He totally knocked me off my chair as I wasn't thinking in that line at all. So I told him he's right, but degree has another meaning and went on to explain what that means bla bla bla...
Interestingly, this went on with me telling the story of how I, once upon a time ago, wore the mortar board and the robe too, and was conferred by the Sultan of something. He asked what a sultan is and I said the king (which I know it's not too accurate, but wth). I showed him our old photos taken on the conferring day and gee, how much we both have changed! Didi and I were surprised to see how papa looked like at that time. Really had a wonderful time together, combining BM lessons and our very own past history. Bet he remembers today's lesson much much more.
I took a walk down memory lane again, browsing at those photos with my old friends, the heart feeling so much warmth and happiness having gone through such memorable and sweet time together. Oh, my life has really been great all the while.
