A tearful celebration.

7th March 2014. Just a normal Friday except for the fact that we planned to celebrate Ms Nina's birthday (though belated). The surprise plan was simple. Ask her to come to watch a video of Barack Obama's speech which had been told prior to her that it was 'useful' for our lesson (it was actually. But I only focused on the content of the speech and not the L+S) The two minute speech was then followed by a video made by the wonderful Arifah Daud and Raihan Syamimi - very simple but deeply touching. I would say that if my heart is as deep as the deepest trench in the see, they touched the bottom, they really do.

Everybody shed tears - me as being the one who is really sensitive to these kinds of things. Really. I have never been to a party where people will shed tears. Moreover it was due to the fact that the song that was being played was 'You Raise Me Up'. All in all, it was a very memorable day. Thank you Ms Nina, for inspiring us as a teacher and a mother. Happy Belated Birthday.

Dearest Ms Lovely

Dearest Ms Lovely

with smile so fine

you're like an angel

leading me to the light

drowned in despair as I was before

you lifted me up

till I breathe once more.

Dearest Ms Lovely

with eyes all glitter

your lips still smile

though the world all bitter

your laughter chimes

through the challenges

still echoes in my days

still rings in my ears.

Be like the sun

dearest Ms Lovely

it still shines in the sy

though on Earth it rains.

Sincerely,

Fatin Nizam
