We are a noisy lot that is what our teachers
say about us. This is largely due to Ah Keong. He is the noisiest of us all.
His voice is like that of a bull frog but volumes louder. It seems that he
cannot talk softly. Actually he does not talk, he shouts. Perhaps his living
with his family of ten children has something to do with it.
In
this noisy bunch lives a boy who hardly ever opens his mouth. This is Padma,
the boy who sits next to me. He is such a gentle and soft creature that one
would think that he is a sissy.
This is not so. No one dares call him one for he is a member of the school's
Karate Club.
Then
there is Doris, our class monitor. She sits right in front of the teacher's
table. She is such a model student that all the teachers love her. We all
love her for she does notboss us around.
She has given up doing that long ago. All she does is to make sure that the
teachers have sufficient chalk and that the classroom is clean.
Right
at the back of the class sits our class sleepy-head. Mat seems to need more
sleep than others. He catches cat-naps in between lessons. The astounding thing is that he can fall asleep
almost instantly. The moment the teacher leaves after a lesson, Mat's snores
start up and we know he is at it again. Remarkably he wakes up when the next
teacher arrives.
Every
class has a clown. Our class has Jack, otherwise known as "Jacko The
Clown". He is always up to some prank or other, putting tails on the
boys' pants, frogs in the girls' desks and powdered chalk on the teacher's
chair. So when we hear a girl scream or see men-teachers strolling around
with chalk on the seat of their pants, we know that Jacko has struck again.
The
other classmates too have their own unique personalities. Each contributes
his or her part to our class. All in all we are a group of young children who
perhaps are a bit noisy at times, but on the whole are well-behaved and
pleasant to be with.
