The Santa Claus(es) Are Coming To School!

So, I was expecting to walk into my office with a whole pile of presents resting on top of my desk.

Yes, Santa(s) are coming! In fact, Santa(s) came!

It's the 16th of May and it is said to be the "noblest" day for the teachers. On this day, kids pose as Santa(s) and leave all the presents on our desk in the morning and some even leave it in an anonymous way.

Believe me, last year, all the presents I got took me two HUGE plastic bags to carry them and I had an incredibly hard time carry them home! But apparently, the kids are doing me a really huge favour by not giving me many things this year, buuu...

Ok, I will represent the evil voice inside every teacher which nobody dares to speak, he/she who says "don't give anything, it's not important and it doesn't matter" is a complete lie, lie, LIE! Everyone has a childish side and everyone loves opening presents, YOU WIMP!!

My point is, nope, whether a child gives me his presents or not I will still love him, but if he does, he will make me quite happy and if nobody does, I will be very buuu with every of my students! I am so sorry but your affections feed my ego, big time!

Ok ok.. how many presents did I see on my desk while I walked in? The answer, two, if you must count the two sweets lying on my desk!!

I must say that is a "little" less than expected, sure I was being humble. Last year there was a potential "Mount Fuji" waiting for me, but this year, guess not even Gunung Tahan I will get!

But fair enough, the children saw me entering the office, they started to give me a lot of presents. Ok ok, now I started to smile.

I secretly gazed at the other teachers' desks, MUAHAHA, my presents were more than theirs..

Then I looked at Ivy, this really cute and sweet and pretty teacher whom I almost fell in love with a month ago, she HAD the "Mount Everest" there! A Mount Everest with a lot of fake flowers around it!!

That makes me a little buu.. I can only hope more Santa(s) are coming!

So the bell rings, I was supposed to enter my own class, I was a little moodless, damn those little brats, I've spent so much energy and they did not even care about this only festive I have. But as I walked towards my class, I saw the lights were off but the fans were still spinning... Ok, I knew what they're up to now.

Yes, as I walked closer, I heard a little boy shouting, "Teacher Hu is coming!" and there was still a little bit of noise and I saw a lot of little heads hiding under their desks through the windows.

No way I would "pretend" to be surprise with that horrible scheme! So, I opened the windows and yelled "class 4D who can't even act!"

They laughed and opened the door for me to go in. To my surprise, they turned on the lights and blew bubbles towards me!! THAT was the surprise and that would be the best present for this year.

That's my boys!

Then they all started to put presents on my table and wished me Happy Teacher's Day. That made me felt so touched! The kids were really thoughtful for this, they were not so thoughtful during the exams, unfortunately.

Anyway, after the school had a little celebration and I went back to the office, a lot of students started to give me their presents and greetings.

Now you're talking!!

Then, some much older kids which are in my Moral class (I know I am not suitable to teach Moral but don't say it!), they kidnapped me somewhere to take pictures with them, ok, so Teacher Hu, the celebrity now!

We looked for locations and then we found one, the girls asked me to wear the little cardigan they bought me. My god, they are like potential men who buy you really sexy clothes and ask you to wear for them!

Yes, I wouldn't want to upset them, so I wore it. They took a lot of snaps with me, I was really amazed at how much they like me!

There are a lot of presemts now and I have a bus to catch so no way I can carry those presents, I will leave them in school and take it back next week.

Thanks my children, it's not your presents that make me happy, it is YOU!

Happy Teacher's Day!
