9 weeks...


Today’s date is 28th of July, 2009.
I am back at campus after 9 weeks stint of practical course.
The ‘me’ two months ago, felt that this day was like a million years away.
The ‘me’ two months ago, would have never expected that those 9 weeks will become part of an important chapter in my life.

Arriving at the familiar gate of the university…
Seeing posters and banners hung everywhere for the coming convocation day…
It’s that time of the year again….

Instead of feeling welcomed,
the faces of everything around felt cold.
Almost foreign.
And as I go deeper inside this, now an alien land…
The memories of those 9 weeks keep getting farther away from me…
As if of another person’s story…
The weeks…the days…felt surreal.

But as I listen to a rendition of Hujan – “Ku Mahu Kau Tahu” by my students that I’ve recorded on my cell…
I know that those 9 weeks were real.
And as I received calls from them…
I know that those 9 weeks were real.

The ‘me’ two months ago would have never known just how much I love teaching…
Just how much I love my students.
