Lee Ann is my best friend and we've been friends for nearly seven years already. She's pretty cool though when you get to know her. It all started when I was having my afternoon class (Ugama class) when I was only in Primary Two. Lee Ann was the new student in my class and so I started to be friends with her but I think she thinks I'm crazy and annoying since I am very hyper and likes to laugh a lot. At first, she didn't want to talk to me just cause she's a new kid then after several retries, she finally get to speak to me and that is where we started to be best friends. Our friendship doesn't really going along well though in Primary Three since I have already made friends the first time I came to that school.
I've made friends earlier with Rabiatul Basyirah and Barirah before I became friends with Lee Ann. It was around one o'clock-ish where the rest of the students including the teachers as well have to go the hall to pray for our Zuhur prayer. Then when I was half way walking in the hall, Rabiatul and Barirah came running up to me and said: "Tuu! si Liyana ah! Kami dulu kali ah sebenarnya dapat tampat atu! Tapi ia inda pindah tampat lain! Duduk sama kami lah.."
I agreed to sit with them both while I was busy looking for Lee Ann at the end of the tikar sembahyang sitting there alone, looking sour. I didn't know who's wrong or who's right so I just have this heavy feeling against them both (Lee Ann and Rabiatul & Barirah). Later on, after our Zuhur prayer, we went back straight to our class and I asked Lee Ann: "Na! Ko curi tampat durang kah?"
Lee Ann replied: "Mana ada ku curi tampat durang. Aku kali ah dulu ambil tampat atu tapi durang inda mau-mau kan ambil tampat atu."
I didn't argue at that point instead, Rabiatul continued to argue. I have no idea though what to do though. So then, several weeks have passed -- we have settled things out and our friendship is getting better and better. When I was in Primary Four, Barirah and Rabiatul went to the same class whilst Lee Ann and I were in the same class. I used to be a Lilo & Stitch fan when I was only a kid in Primary Three: until, this teacher named Cikgu Azriman calls me Stitch. Yes, that's what he used to call me. I have lots of Stitch's merchandises before. His famous quote was this:
"Eh, suka banar ko ah kan si Stitch. Bah Stitch..."
...and I forgot what the other words are. Anyways, in Primary Four -- too bad Cikgu Azriman isn't our teacher anymore. When I was in the Bilik Al-Quran to put back my Holy Book Quran, Lee Ann told me what had happened when I was busy in the room she said like this:
"Eh! Tadi ada Cikgu Azriman wah. He said "Mana si Stitch?""
I was like laughing and smiling all the way round. My fourth year in that school, the both of us failed our test so the both of us were transferred to another class taught by Cikgu Haji Mutalib. It's not just the both of us, the other students from other classes who failed their test were also transferred to the same class as us for temporary that is. There's this guy name Mamul. He's in our temporary class as well and he's kind of a bit badass if you asked me. He once tried to reach his hand on this power switch and then he successfully switched off the power and I realized that the power switch was for the Bilik Al-Quran and there was some students and a teacher teaching them. Lee Ann and I just ignored Mamul and went back to our temporary class and then, few minutes have passed, the teacher who were in the Bilik Al-Quran came storming into our classroom.
She said: "SIAPA MENUTUP KARAN TADI ATU?! KO MAMUL?!"
The class fell silent though and Cikgu Haji Mutalib looked at Mamul and asked the teacher calmly: "Apa ia buat?"
The teacher replied: "ADAKAH DI TUTUP NYA KARAN! URANG MEMBACA AL-QURAN DI TUTUP NYA KARAN!"
Then, the teacher went out and Cikgu Haji Mutalib stood up and said: "Mamul.. Mari ko sini."
Mamul obeyed him and went to the front of the class. Then! he gave Mamul silat wah! My expression was like: O_O, whilst the others were giggling
quietly. Mamul of course, fell down to the floor and Haji Mutalib said: "Diri.."
Mamul did what he was told and Haji Mutalib went on: "Napa ko tutup karan di Bilik Al-Quran ah? Mun ko kan tutup karan -- napa inda ko aga arah tampat karan untuk seluruh Brunei arah Gadong atu?! "
Mamul didn't say anything though and he went back to his seat. The next following day, we were having our Tarikh short test. Everyone was asked to stand up and put their hands up if they know the answers. Lee Ann and I sat down early because we get to answer the questions early and Haji Mutalib asked Mamul and he asked when was Prophet Muhammad's birthday. Mamul didn't know the anwer and he kept silence. Then Haji Mutalib wrote the word "April" in Jawi on the blackboard and said: "Mamul! Apa ni Mamul? Alif, Pa, Ro, Ya, Lam -- apa tu Mamul?"
Mamul: " Febuari.."
Cikgu Haji Mutalib replied: "Febuari?! Kepala Utak Mu, JAMBUL!"
Everyone was laughing their heads off including me and Lee Ann.
"Bukan Febuari ni Mamul -- April ni!"
Then the next year, we were informed that our school didn't allow any Primary Five students there anymore -- because of what? I don't know. Then, I was transferred to another school (Serusop). Then, my first day in that school, I was walking with my dad and I was like looking at other people in their classes. Then, I saw Lee Ann there, standing alone grinning at me and I said: "LIYANA! Bah, bye, Babah!"
Yes! I dumped my Dad and I went straight to Lee Ann. So I was like: "OMG! I didn't believe that you actually pindah ke sini!"
She replied: "I know that you're going to move here so I moved here too."
"What is your class?"
"Lima Sa"
"SAME!!"
We were actually in the same class and so I was happy at that time and you know lah the story what happened. If not then, malas kan ku cerita kan lagi. Tuu! Si Naminé sama si Lee Ann majal kan baca this post ah. So I have to stop here then -- bah! Baca tia!
