Marhaini is our teacher in the Malay class. She is a very nice lady. We called her Mar. I was always late for the class, so I got to know her name until yesterday.<\/p>\n
Mar always smiles. But once in a while during the class, she gave us problems.<\/p>\n
“Please tell me how to say 6875908 in Malay.” She put a random number on the white board, and smiled.
\nWe were all stunned, for 5 seconds, staring at the number, and broke into big noise simultaneity.<\/p>\n
“Brrrr, brrrr. kkzzzz, ssssaaa, rrriii,…” counting the figure, searching on the cross table, reading loud in Malay\/English\/Chinese. Noisy indeed, we were really concentrated on this big challenge.<\/p>\n
After 1 hour (I felt), we started giving the result, “Enum Juta Lapan Tujuh…”<\/p>\n
I was very happy when I got my answer correct.<\/p>\n
A primary 1 student got an big arithmetic problem solved. But life became more difficult as we came to time expression yesterday.<\/p>\n We learnt how to say a time in Malay yesterday. That’s not that difficult actually, except we have to know how to express “pm” and “am” in Malay.<\/p>\n But Mar gave no simple problem. She asked us to do the whole time and date together in Malay!<\/p>\n “1.56pm Wednesday, 10th May, 2006”<\/p>\n We fainted this time. That included number, time, day, month, year… all we learnt in previous classes! Anyway, here are the class notes for yesterday. Going to Indonesia tomorrow, hope I can use something I learnt from the class.

\nI substantially, concretely felt I needed some lubricating oil for my brain. I could feel it was rusted at that moment.<\/p>\n
