When was the last time you were being scolded for something wrong that you did? When you were a kid or say very much when you were a teenager righto? I kena scolded today! At my age, kena scolding is just sooooo very embarassing and especially when its done in front of my colleagues and a group of my children, its just very humbling. *pouts*
I made a mistake today and my colleague just blurted her unhappiness in a very curt manner. I understood why she would have reacted that way cos i was really in the wrong - I took her exam scripts by mistake.GOSH right?! *sigh* I guess I was too tired. I felt really bad to have caused her to panic and I guess prior to knowing that I was the 'culprit' who took her stack of exam papers, she could be near to tears. No joke, cos she is a rather uptight person. I apologised and of course I felt a little hurt by what she said cos it didn't sound very soothing actually.Came home and decided to tell Pa pa about it. Not to whine but to just let him know how things are for me in school. There was a long silence after I said that during dinner and Papa broke the silence with these words, "她很凶的骂你阿?" Then he looked at me with that *sayang-ing* eyes. Then, I felt so much better. Suddenly, I felt so protected again. I mean who says adults dun have to feel protected right? I thank God for my dad - man of few words when it comes to all the mushy dushy but he showed us how much he really love the family through his actions. I think he is beginning to show it through words now. :)
Then I was reminded of this incident when I was in my primary school days and there was this bully in my school who hit me on my head with a book. I mean its just a book on my head and why do I have to kick up such a din right? Kid being kid, I went home, cried, WAILED and complained exaggeratingly about how painful it was. The next thing, Papa held my hand, marched into school and asked to see that boy. The discipline master slapped the bully in front of me and made him apologised to me. Wah! Then I felt like I was a queen la! Haa.
What a day to survive through but I am glad, it brought me fond memories about my dad's love for me.

Sigh.. taking the wrong stack of exam scripts is very common. If anyone finds their exam scripts missing, there is always an exam timetable of which teacher going to which class to refer to. Every teacher has to sign against the name list when they take the scripts. It's very easy to track down who took the wrong scripts. If your sch is not practising that, you can suggest to them.
It's really a small matter, and it's very common. That teacher must be too stressed...
