Kemaya hari lima is a collection of anecdotes from the experiences of Cikgu Ahamad Faizal bin Osman or better known as Cikgu Emmet while serving in Sarawak. The stories written are from the experience of teaching in rural schools such as in Saratok, Roban, and Sri Aman districts. The experience of teaching the students, who on average consist of the Iban tribe, provides inspiration in delving into the strength of the souls of these young children to overcome the current of patience while being independent in the hostel.
