Nasib baik...

During my French class I would always try to include either games, movie watching or songs to have a bit of fun. This week I decided to let them listen to a French song that was very famous in the 90s. Before we listened to the song, I gave my students a brief description of the song and of the singer. And told them that the song came out in 1992.

Then one of them exclaimed:
"Waaaa masa tu madame dah kat France ke?"
"Yes. I was doing my diploma at that time."

Then another one said to me:
"Owhhh...Tapi kan madame selalunya macam tu. Kalau cikgu atau pensyarah tu mesti nampak muda je walaupun dah...dah...ermm..."
"Walaupun dah apa?"
"Errr...ermmm..."
"WALAUPUN DAH APA?"
"Walaupun dah banyak tahun mengajar madame!"
"Oh. Ok"

As I turned to the board to write some words, from the corner of my eye, I could see the boy mengurut-urut dada. And turn to his friend and whisper:

"Fuh. Nasib baik aku sempat cover. Aku nak kata tua tadi. Nasib baik..."

CEH.
