You can... but...

Pn. Shaja's legendary quote. Reminds me of one particular incident with poor Vimell...

He wanted to "see" Kien Beng on some event and Pn. Shaja just said in response: "You can... but..."

Vimell was stunned... His face just muttered what most victims of our English teacher has claimed... It was the what-did-I-say face. So we gave him some tips... Well sorta.

I decided to play with him a little and told him about the "magic word". "What was it?", he asked. "Abracadabra. No, just joking... Haha!" was my reply... He nearly fell for it...

Then Sijie and Wei Li decided to help him as well. They said: "Okay, follow this hint. January, February, March, April..."

And guess what he said?? It was "May, June, July-"

And the class screamed, in surprising unision: "It's "may" you see her, not can you see her!"

Ah, the lessons you learn with Pn. Shaja in your life... Priceless laughter and mockery included.

Talk-Coldplay
