TALL STORY




The boys from my last year's English language class, 5EK1, seem to be dropping by to visit their alma mater one after the other. Last week it was Safwan and now today, two more of the boys from my English language class, Ashraf and Fawwaz came. Fawwaz came from Ipoh and Ashraf, Teluk Intan.
One interesting observation is that Ashraf seemed to have grown a few inches taller in the few months that he had left school. Honestly, my eyes are not deceiving me as I had taken lots of photographs with 5EK1 last year and he was not so tall then. Unfortunately, dear ole Fawwaz seemed not to have gained even half an inch. You can see the difference in the pictures of him, Ashraf and I at the Manjung bus station. I sent the two boys there at around 4.30 p.m. so that they could catch the bus back to their respective hometowns.
Some Chinese believe that if they brew the roots of the peanut plant and make the boys drink the concoction around puberty then there is a possibility of the boys growing up tall. Well, I must ask Ashraf what he ate or did to have grown so much taller within a space of four months.
