Sometimes I wonder...if I am thought so often as I do ..(.never fail.) .towards them...
I kind of surprise when being told. during the last school holidays ..:"the warden said we cd not write letters la mama..becoz, the system is not there yet...no one is available yet to post our letters.....and phone booth is only available during evening between 5-6 only and Saturday weekend, ..and becoz of the tight time table and at times long queue..payah le nak tepon mama.tapi mama jgn risau le..kitorang ok...""
Say what??
Back then during my school years..I remembered my friends and me ..normally during those little time before lights shd be put off...or secretly during prep....each and every one us..(at least for those next to my compartment).wd quietly scribble something...No matter how the letters shall be read later by the prefects or teacher in charged..we found solace in writing...
...And I do think those letters help a lot in sharpening our writing skill...(tak kira le ..merapu ..merepek..meraban)..I do think also..when receiving letters from my parents...or friends..or penpals..(he..he..I think the latter were most welcome...well.. talk about exchange exam papers kunun!..the rest is self-explained!!)..they really played as a boosting factor..for the morale..etc..
..Also..I think everybody was looking forward for their names to be announced at dinner for registered latter, parcel, what-so-ever
But I guess..those were the days..now every school probably opt for new system...for the better...I presume..
So..as a mother who misses so much of the children ...what more can I hope for??
Crazy I am..if I heard beep for sms or the phone suddenly ringing..I wd go frantic...(even when being in the t*****)...frustrated if it turned out to be fr unexpected source, e.g: celcom announcing my prepaid credit wd expire in the next couple of days...alamak!!bowink!
It has been quite some time now...as a result of a long break ..I can see that my handwriting is like 'cakar ayam'..but I still write..even though...the chances of getting a reply is very slim...
...But to my dear kak long and kak ngah..if u happened to drop by your computer lab...at least do not rush to open you myspace, friendster., whatever..la... Do care to drop me a line..pls...I know u r online at ym...even though u r invisible..I simply know...mother has instincts what!!!jeng-jeng-jeng!!
Penantian satu seksa yang tidak tertanggung..
Oleh tubuh ku yang kering dan layu...
Kepastian satu penawar, dalam suka dan duka
Yang meniti hidupku...
