So, I should mention that I had Malay tuition with a teacher from school every week (I can't remember what day it was but it was a week day). As usual, he came to my house to teach tuition on that day. Then, halfway through tuition, he told me "Eh, Caleb, do you know that Pn. Kesh is leaving our school? We got the letter today and tomorrow is the last day she will be teaching in our school."
At first I thought he was joking because that day so happened to be the 1st of April but then he was like, "I'm serious, not joking. We thought it was a joke too but it's not." So, as soon as tuition finished, I went on Facebook and posted on my wall that our beloved teacher was leaving and that it was NOT an April Fool's joke. Thus, hoping that our class would be more prepared for the next day, I prepared a speech for her farewell.
THE NEXT DAY.....
At school, I asked some of my friends whether they received my message. And their response?
"You think we so stupid ah? We're not that dumb la Caleb. We won't fall for your April Fool's Day joke." I tell you, after they told me that, I wanted to take a knife and cut them up in to thousands of pieces. I mean, seriously? You think I would joke about something like that? To cool down, I went of for my duty. Yes, I was also a prefect in primary school and I can't say that I was any better now....
When I went back to class, word had finally spread that our teacher was REALLY leaving. I really wanted to rub it in some people's faces but of course, I'm not that mean. For our first period, our teacher came in and everybody started asking if it was true or not. She answered yes. And of course, nobody prepared anything despite me telling them earlier. In the end, I gave my speech in front of the class and by the end of it, everyone was in tears except for the one guy. Including teacher. Don't believe me? Then ask Jon Shaun. No teaching was done by teacher on that day. It was just her thanking us and we thanking her back. And I must say, I was pretty angry at the people who saw my post and didn't do anything. But it was just my luck that this should happen on the most foolish day of the year, April Fool's Day.
