Are you special for not being 'special?'

I was sitting at one side of the cafeteria when the bell rang. It was recess time for the upper secondary school students. For 20 minutes the cafeteria was in havoc. Pupils were screaming everywhere. There were plates of food being thrown. Most of them were not queuing to buy food. They were more like pushing and ‘himpit’ing. (Haih. Mengeluh. Ini pelajar2 yang berusia 16 tahun ke atas kah?) There were also some teachers (mostly females) struggling and trying to book their ‘lauk-pauk’ because they were afraid the dishes will finish soon.
After the 20 minutes the bell rang again. It was a sudden peace in the area. I continued my work there. I concentrated until I heard some noise which were the noise of people chattering. These were the pupils from special education classes. I began to observe. They were queuing to buy food. Eating their meals properly and quietly. Some of them were even helping each other out to buy food. They gave way to some of their friends who were really ‘special’.
Then I said quietly to myself. When will we began to learn from these special children?
(Haih. Mengeluh)

good one...this one should be dedicated to OKU Akal out there...terutama yg menyerang OKU baru2 ni...:)
reverie, this time round, find your writing just like a lower secondary student..no offence, aye ;)
Sayang ridak ramai yang melihat begini.(dari sudut pandang anda).
Kebanyakan meraka(mungkin guru pendidikan khas,guru-guru dari NGO,bos-bos besar NGO dan bos-bos JKM sampai ke pagawaii bawahan melihat kami ini, cukup menyusahkan mereka). Tidak juga dinafikan ada yang cukup berdedikasi.
Makluman:saya pernah bekerja dengan NGO yang mengendalikan anak-anak seperti ini dan rakan-rakan sekerja(guru-guru) selalu merungut tentang anak-anak ini. "Kalaulah ada kerja lain" kata mereka.
Sigh!
Terima kasih untuk tulisan ini.:)
kita takkan pernah reti belajar kerana kita tidak 'istimewa'.
reverie, bukan dudak-budak sekolah saja. orang-orang tua juga. cuba pergi tengok waktu makan pada kursus-kursus haji. berebut-rebut.
haih (jugak).

No effence taken. As long as the message get across. I'm in the process of learning myself. =)
buat Water Lily:
Saya mempunyai rakan2 yang mengajar Pendidikan Khas. Saya tahu serba sedikit tentang kesusahan ini. Paling tidak pun, kita mampu memahami. Itu pun cukup.
buat Sai:
Ye betul. Harap kita tak tergolong dalam golongan ini. Amin.
buat meandbaby:
If it can ease at least a little of your special experience, I'm glad. It's hard to find a mother like yourself. Syabas. =)

Kesempurnaan akal itu maknanya amat mendalam.

"they gave way to some of their friends who were really ‘special’"
i like this one :)
reverie malaya, truly 'touching' piece, it brings tears to my eyes. Shall remember this passage as long as I live...
TQ from the bottom of my heart.

buat Norza:
No, Thank YOU. =)
hmm... hidup diorang lagi bahagia sebenarnya...
dah sah mereka ini bukan kaki buli kat sekolah...
aku penah buat tour untuk anak2 istimewa ni...intresting...dan ada antara mereka lebih cerdas idea dari pak menteri kat parlimen
they will learn...till they themselves become special
Sekarang tidak lagi istimewa...
OKU = Orang kelainan Upaya.
harap maklum.
Setuju dengan wann. (Again, no offense yeah reverie)
Walaupun ramai antara rakan-rakan saya kata, "urm.wannabe."
Tapi saya kata pada mereka, tidak apa, mungkin ini tidak sedalam metaphor ubilepih ataupun seberat sinikal razaisyam, tapi karya ini tetap ada mesej yang indah.
wait2, how come there are multiple fragment error and grammatical error in this piece?
mengganggu konsentrasiku untuk menghayati mesej yang indah. turn off~
