UPSR On My Mind

Chances are, I will never forget the the day the UPSR result came out.

I remember seeing tears streaming down mama's face. Papa was beaming with pride.


My sister Nurul Diana was jumping with joy, probably because she scored five As too. My younger brother Dini was his usual aloof self but we all knew, deep down he was happy for Diana and I.

I remember headmaster Cikgu Sidek congratulating me, followed by my other teachers at Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Hiliran.

I remember Terengganu Education Department director En Ariffin Embong shaking my hand when he stopped by our school later in the day.


I remember Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said dropping by our house in the evening with a bunch of important looking people, just to meet my sister and I.

I also remember, that was one of the best days of my life.
