Happy Children's day and Happy Birthday Syafiah
October 1st.... I used to celebrate it with cakes and stationery from my teachers.. be it pencils with cute cartoons on it or pretty erasers that smell like fruits. I always grumble cos back then I thought that they were cheap ass gifts since they never last more than a few weeks..
Those lucky survivors would get lost in my big hefty squarish nerd bag of the 80's.. After that, schools started mass producing Children's Day gifts.. i.e: printing the school logo and its name on bags, files, sling bags and whatever children think is trendy...
But now, I still do celebrate it but as a teacher. AND now I know why the teachers invest in cheap-ass gifts cos they foresee lost stationery and how irresponsible children can get.
So this may be a very belated apology but, to all of my teachers back in 4PM, Opera Estate, and Loyang Primary,
I apologise to think that your gifts were cheap-ass. I am grateful for the gifts and its always the thought that counts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Happy Children's Day

And to Syafiah, my cousin, Happy 6th Birthday. Study smart. Play hard:)
