today i thought about this and i hope she is reading this.
i was up at the art room the whole day today, in-between classes, i packed up the dusty shelf and table, kept all the expensive art materials in the metal cupboard, clear up all the left-over paint, crippled colour pencils, sorted out ex-students' works, and lots of coloured papers.
i finished with a pair of disgustingly dusty hands.
but it felt good, to clear things up. i can't work well when stuffs are messy.
then followed by my last hour of class, and then art remedial all the way from 2.30pm to 6pm.
back in the staff room, lots of paper work to be done.
then she came over, smiling and saying "health check! health check!"
she asked me how i am today and commented that i looked more alive today.
i replied ya, i slept from 2am to 4pm the day before, i'd better be more alive!
then more small talk and we said bye. she left.
left me thinking of how fortunate i am, to have such nice friends around me all these while. not just today that she had asked me how i've been, she asked me everyday, that is when i am not sick and on MC.
everyday, widya will walk over to my desk (she sat at the far end opposite from my side) and just to ask me how i am today.
i am so happy to be asked.
thankyou, my dear elephant-lover :)
