When I was in my third year (if tak silap), I took two elective papers during my special semester. One of the papers was the International Environmental Law, taught by Encik Azmi. One of the topics that we had to learn was about wetlands and their importance to bird migration, Ramsar Convention blaa blaa… Encik Azmi said that several wetlands have been reserved by our government (part of the Ramsar Convention) for the birds, as these birds selalu ’singgah’ at certain wetlands in Malaysia  during migration. Then Encik Azmi said something about now the government had discovered satu wetland yang lebih besar ke apa, daripada a particular wetland yg burung selalu lepak. So, government reserve the other/bigger wetland utk burung2 ni.

Sepanjang Encik Azmi dok cakap pasal tu, I kept thinking about something. So, bila dia tanya "any questions?", aku angkat tangan and penuh confidently tanya "How would the birds know that they have a new wetland instead of the old one?"

Encik Azmi looked at me, probably in disbelief, and said "oh the government bagi brochures and distribute flyers to the birds saying ‘hey there’s a new place that we have reserved for you, please come!’ " sambil tu dia buat action konon2nya tengah distribute those things kat other students in my class.

That’s me, asking a very stupid yet honest question. And that’s Encik Azmi, so sarcastic yet funny at the same time. Salah ke aku tanya??
Muahaha!
