Some colleagues have been asking me this question “What did I do at school other than teaching?” Well, to think back about it, there were so many things that I did. Most of the things were fun, new and challenging. I never thought that I would create a mural (I still need to touch up some of the drawings though :D)
Other than that, I would also never thought that I would harvest pineapple which they planted within the school compound. At first, we had to pay but if we harvested it ourselves, we could get FOC. So, armed with a small machete and gloves, I harvested the pineapples while wearing my baju kurung. I also experienced cooking using wood (so traditional and basic!). But of course, I was not the one who made the fire. The fire was already made by the students. As teachers, we don’t do the dirty works, for obvious reason. That’s what the students are for! But as the evaluator [uhuk uhuk judge], we were entrusted with the task to evaluate the students’ survival skills that they have to show during a 2D2N camping such as making fire. So, we have to let the students “show” their skills to make fire etc.
What else? To be continued….
