Luckily, saw my bro! He was with my nephew~ n yes..phew~ saw ma n she made noise..euw..siapa yg kau tgk ayu..sampai tak jln ngan mak! ehhehehehehe kan ayu kan kan kan.....
on the other note..
hmm.. few frenz knew abt the home visit that i was assigned to by my P last week. Well..i guess, i should share wat actually happened...
apart from having one ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) child in my P1 class, theres a gal, which i list it as 'danger zone'.. why?
1)she comes to school as and when she like it.. once a week..or sometimes..10-15 days in a mth..no kiddin..
2) she hardly noes her alphabets only noes who to write her name but capital n small letters all jumbled! ( she did not attend her kindergarten)
3) homework-zilch! yeah coz she cant write.. and some days..perfectly done..coz why? an adult must haf done it! ishk!
4)bag stinked with ciggies smell. in bet the pages..theres ciggy ashes!!!!
5) kinda unkempt..hair not properly tied up...
6) kinda frail..-under-nourished, underweight
and lists goes on..
for the past few mths..me n my colleagues did our best..we had a talk to the girl..and all she did was to cry..gave all kind of excuses like..she had headache..bla bla bla..we even tried to chase the dad..oh yes..stepdad..young stepdad -a 23yr old guy.. asked him to let her attend remedial..infact we made appt for him with the family social worker..but he did not turn up! we wanted him to apply for financial assistance..n all we needed was his signature.,...but he did not turn up again! oh man.. n this fella dun even haf a hp..n home contact no as well..
so last week..we alerted our P n i pointed out abt the condition of the girl..and sumthin may not be right abt her family.. and thus..since her parents hardly come to school to fetch her..and she hardly comes to school nowadays..we decided to go to her house...just in case..if theres any mishap happens...bla bla bla
Ironic part, on the day when we decided to go to her house..the poor lil gal came. While giving my students mock exam.. i had a talk with her,..but she just simply refused to talk. So i gave her a blank paper..and asked her to draw her family...
n u noe wat????? she drew..,a total of 17 occupants in 1 house!!!! 17!! oh my gawd!!!! and she can pointed out each n one of them! so dat was it..
we waited at the back gate..just in case if the dad fetch her..but to no avail..brought the gal to the off..n got the green lite from my P..and 4 of us and the gal headed to her place.
Lots of things in my mind...full of sympathy..relli..
the moment i reached her place..i was shocked..goodness..how can this gal live in this kinda place....
she went in..leaving us outside her house.. we gave our salam..but no one answered.. n suddenly..an old lady appeared..and asked who we were.. we intro-ed and she let us in..i stepped in..n hardly breath! sad..relli!!! sad with the home condition.. soiled clothes..lotsa shoes placed on a shoerack..just beside the fridge!! mattress..oh man..and durians not discarded..theres flies!! a small TV in the living room....i wanna cry..is this wat u call a home for this lil gal...
soon...3 adults..came to the living rm..one lady introduced herself as the mom... young mom! tongue studs..lips studs..ear studs..and ear rings dangling all over...oh gawd *gulp* and she kinda ard my age...
through out that one hr session..we managed to gather few info.. i filled in the forms for her n yes..we encouraged the parents to allow the girl to b at the after school centre.. at least her food..homework all will b taken care of till 6.30pm. We were given the permission to see the lil gal in the room.. and u noe wat!!!!
when we opened the door...there were many kids in the room..watching TV!!! BIG 32" TV!!! DVD players!!! hi fi set!! WAT FISH!!!! and they claimed that their electricity and water supply were cut off!! and they needed money and asked the school to help them.. hey WAT FISH!!! another colleague actually went to look at the meter..and its running!! and i saw an adult actually stood behind the door..hey man! i could c u..mirror reflections!! DUH!!!!
so now..wats wrong here?? there 4 able adults who can actually work!!! big wise enuff to go to work!!!!! btw..theres only one sole breadwinner..who hardly make ends meets!! and so..wat abt the other 4!!!!! lazy bum!! n u let the lil children suffer!!! go to work!! earn less rather than earn nuthin!!! send the kids to school!!! n u expect us to help u financially!!!!!!
im o-so disgusted!!!!!! wats happening with our malay society? n this kinda pple expect us to help them??
it helps that i was fasting that day..banyak ber-isghtifar...even my chinese colleague said this.. hey i was hungry..but the moment i saw her house..i dun think i can eat now..mebbe not today.. gosh! told my P.. n we relli haf to save this girl.. she needs our support.. we are looking at this matter very seriously..
oh yes..go figure this: she lives with her parents n 4 other siblings.. mom looks after her sister's 2 kids too ( her sis is in a drug rehab centre), 2 uncles stay with her.. one auntie and her 3 kids staying with them too since they haf yet to get a new house..grandmother n grandfather..plus her great-grandfather....so does this make it to 17 pple staying in that house? n yet 4 of them laze at home..depending on some financial institutions to give them money????? wait..dat makes 18..oh wateva!!
so tell me... what should i do??? hope God gifs me strength and guide me... i noe i cant change the whole lot of my students..but at least i hope i can make a diff to this one. hang on gal..we will help u..insya-Allah..
