Nigeria 1997



Two weeks ago, dancing teachers from Taiwan came to my kids school.  A one day session was held for them to teach the primary and secondary school some traditional dancing steps as well as some handy crafts.  My girl Nasreen liked it because she enjoys dancing as she is taking part in Hip Hop Club.


My son Khairee, took some karate lessons a few years back but never completed it due to school commitment.


On the evening itself, I saw Khairee wearing a trouser looked like the school dragon team's uniform.  I specifically remember that he does not own one.  It was after dinner when he was about to walk to his room, he suddenly turned back.


He was smilling and said to me, "Did you know whose trouser this is?"  I said, "Mr Jim." (Coz the trouser looked really big on him).


With his mischievious smile, he said, "No."  I asked whose was it.  He said, "Something happened at school today."


"You know we had a teacher from Taiwan, right?", he asked.


I said, "yes."


He continued saying, "I was mining my own business on learning the dance.  It involved some sort of Kung Fu.  When he showed the part about kicking, I wanted to kick really high.  Upon trying that particular move, my trouser made a big 'krack' sound."


He said everybody was tired during that time but on hearing the big "krrraaaaaakkkk", everybody was very alert and turning to where the sound came from.  By then I can't help myself but laugh.  He was also talking and laughing at the same time.


Turning to his teacher, he said, "Cher, i need to go to the back (speaking to his teacher in chinese)."  At the same time using his hands to cover his butt where the big hole was.

He was sitting at the back of the hall thinking what to do next.  He decided to go to the staff room to call home and asked to be picked up.  On the way to the staff room, he met Mr Lim, who asked what was wrong.  He told him about his trouser and Mr Lim told him to use his spare trouser.  No wonder the trouser looked so big.


His friends were surprised to see how quick he changed and coming back to continue the session.  They didn't realise that he was wearing Mr Lim's trouser.  He then said, putting his trouser with the big hole to his face, "Pee-ka-Boo!!"  Everybody was laughing when he did that.

Mr Lim wanted to take picture of his trouser but he said no.


He told me that he was supposed to wear his PE clothes but he forgot.


That's Khairee.
