Selayut Melayut!

Many moons ago...Iman came back from school and announced..

Ummi, Cikgu kata esok kena bawak barang nak buat selayut. I had absolutely no idea what selayut is! Teringat masa kecik-kecik kat kampung, my kampungfolks selalu gunakan 'melayut' to describe something that hung loosely. Then I thought it must be something of a 'hanging' sort. True enough, after condemning me for not knowing (kids these days... *sigh*), Iman drew what selayut should look like.

Kena buat antonim katanya. Laaa.. apa pulak antonim ni? After googling, owh.. baru tau. Perkataan berlawan erti. Terang vs gelap. Siang vs malam. Gemuk vs kurus. Get the drift?

The header. The cutting and pasting part, he outsourced to me. He thought of the words and wrote em down.

Iman, kena buat berapa perkataan?
Cikgu kata berapa pun takpe. Lagi banyak lagi bagus.
Obviously we went a little overboard sampaikan selayut lagi tinggi dari tuan! :D

Then Kakak pun kena buat selayut. Dia punya assignment kena buat peribahasa. Kakak ni terrer sikit bab-bab menggunting, menampal etc. I just monitored her choices of peribahasa so that she actually knows what she writes. Guess what, days later, dia balik and announced she won 2nd best selayut in her class and dapat buku cerita as reward.

Terima kasih Cikgu. Small gestures that motivates. Tajukpun peribahasa jugak tu :D

Proudly showing off her reward. As for Iman, no news yet on his selayut. Apapun it was a good move doing this rather than just reading out from books. And for me, now I know what selayut is!
