Even the Rain cannot dampen my Spirit.....

The irony of it all....

2006-03-29T09:46:00.000+08:00

after a few weeks of no time at all to blog, suddenly I m "given" a time to blog.. ahacks...
now im in the school computer lab in a blogging workshop... u see, d IT dept in my sch has plan out a workshop that all teachers have to attend.. d school wants the teachers to be in the net loop so we hv to know how to blog.. & since i already hv a blog, I hv d extra time to do this short little entry... but my mind is really blank out by all the school work so im just going to end this entry here... so tata folks.....

Why am I not surprised?

2006-01-26T09:53:00.000+08:00

Y?? As I had mentioned earlier, I had fully anticipated all it.. One of my girl had fell in the School fitness corner during recess and as a result, she had a gaping cut on her forehead. Not only it was wide, it was deep too.. nearly to the skull (as the doctor explained) and it required 4 stitches!!! But boy was she a brave!! She didnt cry at all!! In fact when a teacher found her, she told the teacher she needed a tissue paper & she would be fine!! she didnt know the extent of her injury!! When i saw it, my knees were weak... lembek sekejap.. followed her to the doctor & she received the 4 "caterpillars".. again she didnt cry!!! very brave indeed!! Klau she cried, lagi panic agaknyer aku....

Christmas & Boxing Day...

2005-12-27T16:51:00.000+08:00

For most muslims, Christmas would mean staying at home & chill out...but for me & some of my friends, it would mean celebrating it with our dear friend, Sharon.. So we were all invited to sharon's place for the christmas party.. Good food,good drinks,loads of chocolates & more importantly great company!! Being a good host that she was, we never ran out of drinks especially.. right razlee.. hahaha.. nway not only the great company, all we managed to catch at least half of Kabbi Kushe Kabbi Gam (did I get the spelling right??) thanks to "We shall wait till the next advertisement slot!!" hahaha.. To tell you all the truth, most of our gang are avid hindi movie fans or Shah Rukh Khan fans exactly.. Dat includes yours truly.. hahaha.. Nway Sunita had been assigned the task of announcing to us the latest Shah Rukh Khan movie so that we can catch it together...(Gerl ,you betta do a good job aite... )I told her that Shah rukh Kahn must be in that show or else im not watching...

our lovely host & a great friend, Sharon

just look at d Christmas tree..

Sorry gerl that's the best shot of the tree that I have.. kiakkiakkiak

razlee & his favourite pose...

salina tgh feeling2 senorita....

salina nanti aku kasi chrysanthemun utk rambot ko eh.. khehehe

it's always like this... very hard to get the 5 gerls in one single photo...

Sunita, where were you???

look at what Sharon gave us.. Very the cute & useful...

Boxing Day....

nway boxing day was spent at the Esplanade.. you see one of my school's cca group, Handbell Ensemble, was invited to put up a mini show at the esplanade mall.. Although a mini show, the audience was tremendous... all stopped & enjoyed it thoroughly that a few shouted for an encore... Although i wasn't the teacher-in-charge of the CCA, i was still proud of them..

Getting ready for the performance...

Just look at the audience..

with their teachers-in-charge & their instructor...

True Friendship

2005-12-23T01:41:00.000+08:00

Friendship is something that grows through the years

Withstanding feelings of anger, joy and tears

It is something you cannot live without

A friend you can turn to when in doubt

They should listen carefully and not speak a word

For you would do the same when they want to be heard

A person you can confide in, learn from and trust

This is a friend and everyone mustBe able to have someone just like this

Not a boyfriend to hug, cuddle and kiss

But a person so special, faithful and true

The only one I can think of is a person like you

Our friendship is strong, healthy and great

Through the years I see its wonderful fate

A fate of laughs, greatness and fun

We have only one life to live and this is the one

The past- full of memories that runs through my head

The bad ones never talked about or said

Every moment of life should glisten with fresh morning dew

This reminds me of the greatest friendship one ever knew.

Shauna.....

I'm back!!!!

2005-12-20T03:26:00.000+08:00

Yesh.. Im back!!! 5 days of holiday in Phi Phi island wasn't enough ok.. you wanna noe y? bcoz it rained the last 2 days that we were dere...on d 2nd last day, it rained incessantly from 6plus morning till 9plus AT NIGHT!! imagine that.. I was like skejap2 terjengok-jengok out of the hotel room's balcony for the sunshine... i was hoping that it wld stop raining in the afternoon so we could chill out at the nearest beach to ur hotel.. but when it continued pouring at 4pm, I shelved the idea... in d end, we got some poncho (yesh.. umbrella would be too cumbersome!) & we headed to the nearest sheltered restaurant...On the last day, not that it mattered koz we were rushing for the plane home, the rain still didnt stop!!! Nevertheless, the first 3 days was absolutely fantastic.. we went to the famous Maya Beach.. for those who have no inkling what that place is, it's actually the very beach that Leornado DeCaprio (did i get his name right??) stepped on for the movie with the very original title "The BEACH" the place was astounding lah but it was actually smaller than how it looked on the big screen.. at the beach, i was aper lagi "feeling2 baywatch" lah (haha!!those were Razlee' words!!) but then Im still considered decently dressed koz that beach is like a half-nudist beach lah.. ni matsalleh (anyway i forgot to add, this place is actually a matsalleh haven) betol nyer sardine seh.. with their bedangdangs of all sizes & shapes plus their gstring bikini bottom, they frolicked in the sun as if they were the only creatures who exist dere..it was like the exact scene that you can expect from the Travel & Living programmes... but den,except for our group,d rest of the beachgoers were nonchalant of their presence.. Even the locals!!! Maybe it was quite a commom sight... culture shock aside (for me at least), i was held in awe at the beauty of the beach.. clear blue water, white sandy beach were perfect... haiz.. mcm nak terbang saner besok jugak!!! d snorkelling trip was fabolous too!! i was like terpekik through the goggles and the breathing-tube (forgot the name lah) when the fish swam around me.. not that the fish was sharks ke aper but it was a big school, so when it was around me & dier slimy bodies brushed against mine, i could not help it but to let out a yelp.. even the local guide smiled at the scene i was making... dier lagi sengaja threw food near me so that the fish would gather near me.. bacin betol si detu tau.. & si akel bukan nak jadi hero... dier buat de' aje & continued with his snorkelling.. in the end, i was like clinging on to the steps of the long tail boat.. sungguh d bacin.. besides the beach & snorkelling, we also managed to watch the Muay Thai aka Thai Boxing..very violent...at some point i was like covering my eyes & mouth.. it was like the thai movie "Om Bak".. i thought the fighting scene n the movie was elaborately chereographed & not possible in real fights but in actual fact, it was possible.. they hit each other with their legs mcm tendang sepak takraw.. kaki dorang terlipat-lipat when they kicked each others head... agaknyer if i'm one of the fighters, i would raise the white flag even before the fight began... takpelah kalah pon kalah lah.. haha..

although i was shorthchanged due to bad weather I would still give Phi Phi 8.5/10 rating...given the chance & the cash of koz, i would love to go again.. this time, I try to make sure that it is not going to be the raining season..

nway below r some of the pics... just a small glimpse of what I had experienced... enjoy!!!

excited & ready to go

after the touchdown

after two hrs of flight, another 2 hours of ferry ride..

our hotel restaurant overlooks Tonsai bay of Koh Phi Phi Don

all psyched for the island tour & snorkelling..

just look at the beach!!!!!

d famous Maya Beach...

a great friendship..

this was what akel was doing when the fish was around me...

bukan nak save kite ke... tgok tu ah dier tgh syok mandi tu...

biaser ...sempat posing for d camera.... though not a flattering one...

LOBSTER!!!! Sedapkan!!!!!

Before we feast, must pose with the food laid on the table!!!

Anway after the holiday, akel's bros & friends surprised him with a birthday cake & a harmless karaoke session (read harmless... so no naughty thoughts *finger waving*)..

he is oldddddddddddd......

Congralutatory Notes

2 more days..

2005-12-10T04:14:00.000+08:00

2 more days & im off for my holidays...

hv u watched it?

2005-12-10T04:00:00.000+08:00

tab tv... one of d latest tv programme..was watching it with my bro.. quite controversial.. but i must add that wats-her-name SPG blogger is a very brave girl to come up front & bare her life for all to scrutnise, dissect & judge..though i dont agree with some of her views & actions, I think she deserves some credit...i think not all in her position is brave enough to bare it all.. at least with her being in d show, it provides a lesson for all in one way or another...

a new black & white??

2005-12-04T02:41:00.000+08:00

Looking at salina's blog, i realised that i really need to revamp my workstation... just look at mine..black & white.. it's not that I hate other colours but i still think black & white suits me just fine... maybe i will change my current black & white to another black & white..

but i wonder, when will i get the time & energy to do it???

hopefully, this will change before the school reopens.

"Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain."

when energy had been sapped out dry from her muscles & bones

2005-09-08T23:53:00.000+08:00

ya ya i noe.. it has been a wile..
cant help it.. if only dere are 36 hrs per day, dis blog of mine will surely get more entries per week...
currently if i can squeeze an entry per mth, i'll be thankful..
infact im so bz dat i dont even hv time to check my email..
yesh bcoz of my tuition & all( contemplating to drop dem.. hmm but d kidz really need help.. not to mention d extra buckeroos..but den i dont wan to kill myself.. not worth it.. dilemma!!dilemma!!)
on top of dat, i'm in several commitees in school which take a great deal amt of time from me..
u c, my school is quite ambitious unlike dis certain staff (ahem2).. we r involved in many events dis years dat things
dat im literally drowning under all d duties dere...

d energy-sapping,d time- consuming, d sleep-depriving & d simultaneously-occuring events

1.D learning Fiesta (3 days long event!! imagine d work dat needed to be done on d 3 days & of koz d time taken for d preparation!!(at one time, our meeting eneded at 9pm at nite..ok.. imagine me from 6.55am till 9.40PM.. mcm maner tak pengsan!!) we had one day of 37 workshops (yesh 37 workshops lah happening concurrently!!) conducted for d kids & deir parents, half day of kite making, half day of kite flying at northbrook sec school.. after which we rushed back to school to hv d teachers' dy celebration wif the kids..if u scroll down later, u will see how d teachers wr given d extreme makeover by d kids..DAT was fun defintely.. even d principal & VPs wrn't spared.. not mentiond d cards, small v yet thoughtful trinkets dat d kids gv me.. very touching.. forgot to take a picture of dgifts... d cutest one was a balloon sculpture of a dog and a handmade bracelet.. d cards.. box of chocolates. and d msgs dey wrote on d board..d kidz.. at one minute u can be angry at dem for not doing d werk properly etc ..d oder minute, u cant help but smile at thought of dem..

2.Teachers' day dinner - it's a custom in our school for d new teachers to plan out d programme and by d fact dat we did it at school( SChool??!! yesh !!! school!!!!!absolute shocker rite??!!ahaacks!!) wasnt what me as a new teacher was secretly hoping.. as u can see wen i joind teaching force, one of dthings dat i envisioned was to hv a lavish teachers' day dinnerbut of koz it was hoplessly dashed d moment d news came to us dat we wld be celebrating at school due to lack of funds.. but d seniors teachers in d comm said we shld be thankful dat at least d SAC r paying for us..but i think deep down inside i can sense not even dese senior teachers were really believing in dese sentiments.. hahaha...

3. Aces day.. i hd bn askd by my PE HOD to conduct d ALL CHILDREN EXERCISE SIMULTANEOUSLY on stage.. Luckily i wsnt alone..dere were 3 of us.. Mr Mohd NOr who led d school but dere wr 2 female teachers (me one of dem)to chaperone him.. so u can imagine how hard i had shake my ass off to the songs Madasgar & d other-song-whose-title-dat-jus-deznt-stick-in-my-head-despite-d-countless-times-i- was-doing-d-jiggy-on-stage
maybe some of u mite think, "not dat bad wat! our school is doing d same ting.!" wait..wat if i tell u dat all dese things happen WITHIN 1 WEEK!!! lets see weder u will be stretched like d gule-tarik-in-pasar-mlm!!!
hmmm.. even d our principal agreed dat it is taxing!!!

4. Cricket tournament- at SIA (dat will be Singapore Indian Association eh.. ('',) jgn nak pikir dat rich flying organisation dat is os-so famous ar..)
my CCA.. so we had some tournament..my school jus startdd cca last yr so we r exposing d kids to d games (in oder words we didnt win) was dere wif d boys.. got sunburnt on my arm.. was wearing short sleeves..only rememberd to protect d face but forgot totally abt me arms.. so burn lah.. sakit seh...who wld tot dat u can get sun burn on d arms.. mostly back per.. tapi aper nak buat.. tahan je lah...

5. APPLAUSE - d kids are gona perform a musical in one of NUS peforming theatre.. Im one of d teachers to help in chereographing d dance steps fro the whole 100 plus pupils .. d practice is every weds .. another tiring event.. luckily dey ask me to do whihc i dont mind.. ( hmmm pasal berjoget nombor satu.. Khuahuahaahaha)

below r some of d pics dat i manage to snap.. not much though

enjoy..

d whole Teachers' Day Comm.. dere i told u it was at school.. hahahaha

On our way for our kite flying event.. obviously d kids were enjoying demsleves even bfore d got to d open field

d teachers' day celebration.. d extreme makeover... thanks to the Parents volunteer grp who gv d idea, d kids get to dress d teachers up.. we r suppose to be dier queen.. so as u can see, we had pupils who wld just sit down beside us to fan us if it gets too hot underneath d costumes dat dey made.. luckily mine was dat much...

u see even d principal & our VPs werent spared....

d wishes d kids wriiten on d board

now squint ur eyes and read wat one of it said.. hahahahahaha... kembang skejap....

any suggestions?

super duper bz.....

2005-08-13T00:36:00.000+08:00

been super duper bz..
really...

when reality isnt wat i thought it would be

2005-07-24T18:20:00.000+08:00

These are what i thought i would be enjoying once im a teacher.

1. 2 days off every weekend.
2. teaching a class of angelic 9 yrs olds
3. to be able to finish up the syllabus within the term & semester without much glitches
4. a laptop from the school all to myself

But reality isnt wat it set out to be...

1.
2 days off every weekend is only possible if you dont have much marking to do. But with the amount of work that d school/dept/level had planned for the kids (not too mention teachers!!) it would be near to impossible for the 2 days off to ever become a reality.. in fact i brought 4 stacks of markings home.. dis is even after the fact dat i had marked some other stacks at school before clocking out...(FYI: I had marked 3 stacks as for now but im left with the major one.. Composition)Haiz.. which me luck aite..

2.
nine years old are not that innocent as i hd thought to be... two kids in my class wr caught skipping d supplementary class.. One of the parents caught d children red-handed...when probed for the reason of their actions, as expected, both did some finger-pointing to each other... wat happen next you can jolly well figure out...

3.
the lack of periods to clear off the syllabus.. d endless school programmes and functions which take up most of the periods.. so i had to cut short the amount time to teach the pupils..less time for the syllabus will equate to less quality results by the children.. especially at d end of the year..

4.(lastly)
Im so handicapped without a laptop..every teacher is supposed to receive a laptop.. but when i received mine, it turned to be of prehistoric age.. it's on Windows 95 os.. yesh Win95!!!!!!!
No its not a Win98 nor 2000!!! wat can i do wit dat???!! it cant even blurdy hell read my thumbdrive!!
Even if it could, it would be too slow!! and d problem is dat im so atuned to PPt presentation when I teach my class that i find it hard to adapt to other mtds.. haiz...& with my personal laptap in melbourne(my bro is using it), im really contemplating to buy a new one again.. but den some of d teachers told me to wait till next semester koz, d IT dept might be givin a new one or at least the latest one to me...("dats provided if the school has d extra budget to spend" as i quote the head of IT dept) but den its next semester!!.. wat to do now??? just make d best of wat i have now..

Burn-out? Maybe... Sometimes, i just wonder if these are the few obstacles which i have to dodge, crawl under or climb over even so that d rest of my teaching career will be a smooth sailing one for me..Perhaps.. Maybe....Insyallah....

no time at all

2005-07-13T22:20:00.000+08:00

its towards the end of 3 wks at sch..
veri bz indeed..especially today.. woke up at 5.30am..7.05am reading programme, teaching time, going up & down d steps to go to d classes, marking, scurrying for d 15mins break in btwn end-of-day's-lesson to d-oh-so-damn-chaotic swimng programme,back from d pool..PE-Dance Workshop..Cricket..markings in btw cricket.. (dere is a coach so i can do my markings).. den tuition.. reachd hm ard 10.. panda eyes.. bad sore throat for nearly 3 weeks..dishevelled hair..stinky clothes(i hv PE lesson, u cant expect me to smell good 24/7 rite??!!)..dats my life rite now..bllurrgghh!!!!
but den a girl in my class cured d tiredness in me.. gave me d fisherman sweet..
"teacher dis is for you"... it takes just one single little thing to make it rite....

was bad to my man..

2005-07-12T22:16:00.000+08:00

yesh i was literally bad to my man, (shall not expose what exactly dat i did, but to dose who loves to jage tepi kain org..**jgn terase yer...hehe**lets just say that i did not cheat on him nor lie to him..) very remorseful i am.. wish i had calmd myself den.. haiz...
but lucky me my man loves me too much.. I vowed never to do dat "thing" again.. never!!!!!!

dis is it.....

2005-06-26T23:07:00.000+08:00

as of tomoro, i am a cecher of Northland primary School wif 36 periods of heavy workload,

2005-06-19T19:40:00.000+08:00

got back from my holidays & ooh Im so dreading it..
d term is just round d corner & feeling a little bit jittery..
maybe its d idea dat im getting into another new working environment dat
shoots my nerve off into a ranting mood.
nways..had been mentally (read it again, sign of a procrastinator) preparing tings dat i need to do or get for my first day in school...
d list goes..
1. a list of classroom rules or a contract for d kidz.. (of koz dey can add some of "deir own" rules to d list)
2. a calendar for the remaining semester.. (make it a cartoonish one wif d kids' birthdays noted in)
3. name tags for d kids.. in dats case i will need to get big safety pins + dose star-shaped cardboards
4. big beanie bag (anyone hv an idea where i can get dose??!!) i wan to put dem in d class..
5. photocopy some of d notes on ADHD.. (Yesh i hv not 1 but 2 kids in my class wif ADHD!!!URRGGHH!!! (yani... cool down.. take evryting in ur stride)
hhmmm.. i gez dats it... got abt a wk to get dem all done... wish me luck aite ..

potong bebek angsa............

2005-06-13T03:30:00.000+08:00

a goon here learnt sumting new todae

(something she shld hv known way long ago wen she sang d song crazy at d tender age of 4-6yrs)

& it happened like dis wen d goon was chilling wif her siblings at her bro's rm..

d goon's bro talking to deir uncle online: "pat sini ade indo mee perisa bebek.. "

d goon: "Wats bebek??!"

d goons's bro (looking at her disbelievingly): "itik..slengeh!it's in indonesian!!"

d goon kept quiet at d answer for awile (wile recalling an ol malay nursery rhyme)

d goon: "Abeh kirekan nursery rhyme melayu dulu tu 'Potong Bebek Angsa,masak di kuali.. itu potong itik lah??!!??

d goon's bro (slapped on his forehead): "yelah.. slengeh lah ko!!"

d goon (still in a state of a shock at d revelation) silent for a wile:"Euuw.. abeh dorang makan itik & angsa??!!& masak di kuali??!!"

d goon's bro: "yelah!! dorang makan lah tu!!"

d goon cldnt believe it..me too..

Potong bebek (itik!) angsa,

masak di kuali,

nona mintak dansar,

dansar empat kali,

sorong ke kanan, sorong ke kiri,

tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

(due to a disclaimer written in a previous entry, d goon refused to be revealed..kuahkuahkuah)

d Great Ocean Road trip...

2005-06-10T23:45:00.000+08:00

d great ocean rd trip was one of d highlights of my trip to melbourne..it promises us view of d ocean south of australia. (ape tah name ocean tu forget lah.. maklom lah not a geog student!!)

my family rent a car, a tarago specifically..a very d comfortable 8 seater mpv which allow me to stretch my legs..as u can see d views along d trip was breathtaking but d weather wasnt on my side (it was actually veri cold!!)

refering 2 d map below, my family drove down frm melbourne all d way down to geelong up until warnambool (yup sadly,we didnt travel all d way across d road ) & back to melbourne ( thru d highway denote by d abbrv "HWY")

d great ocean road is actually d darken line across d map..travelling along d southern coast of australia.. it is a 2-lane road which winds round d coast.. wen i say wind, it really does.. d car bends from one sharp corner to another sharp corner within a minute!! (mcm naik a lateral roller coaster dah!!) so for those who always get motion sickness please be prepared.. my mom obviously wasnt koz she vomitted not once but twice!!

semuer org tgk d ocean only by moving their eyeballs only klau tidak mabok dah!!!

nasib baik d winding road only lasted about 2hrs-3 hrs.. itupon rase lamer nak mampos..

but den dere r alot of pit stops & scenic lookouts for us to rest & enjoy d views..

d totally time taken for d road trip was 2days1nite.. we stayed d nite at apollo bay...managed to get an apartment for d 6 of us plus a baby for just AUD$100!!! dats freakin cheap lah.. den again its d winter tme so not dat many surfers ard d area thus explainin d cheap rate..

map of d trip dat my family took.. tanks to my father & bro-in-law, we wr not lost & managed to get back to my bro's apartment safely..

nway below r some of d pics wich i took along d trip at the scenic lookouts.. enjoy

d start of d great ocean road..wif my bro...

at torquay...

zafar at lorne..

we had lunch at lorne.. my mom cooked so we kinda have a picnic dere... behind us r d motels for d surfers & travellers especially during summer..

dats d freakin cheap apartment..AUD$100 for 2 rooms, plus 2 sofa beds, a fully equipped kitchen plus a dining area!!!

d breathtaking view behind our apartment...

my family minus my bro-in-law at d front of apartment

my mom & i at apollo bay.. somewhere near d apartment

behind us is part of d great ocean road.. only a 2-lane road which can give us endless views of God's creation!!!

my bro & i near d 12 Apostle.. a must see of d great ocean road trip... dont be fooled by d smile on our faces.. we r freezing..

2 go down to d beach, we must walk down d veri, very steep flight of steps down a cliff!!!quite daunting actually..

another view of d 12 apostles... d 12apostles ar actually limestones which once was part of d cliff dat i was standing at to take d picture.. erroded by d waves for thousand of yrs, it became like dis.. dere 12 of dem thus d name..

feeling so handicapped...

harlow all

dis 2 wks had been hectic but fun for me..
firstly it is due 2 d obvious reason dat it's my first week at sch, Northland pri (at yishun for those who dont know where)as the beginning teacher, of koz i had 2 b involved in many activities..

Namely,d Bukit chandu trip for teachers only.. a very enlightening trip i must say.. in fact i learn more abt singapore history during this trip than i had learn through d textbook( an experential learning konon!!)furthermore we were shown video clips dat were not shown to d public.. apparently only selected govt bodies/piperl were allowed to see some videos...managed 2 take a few pixsas u can see, bukit chandu is built in the memory of Lt Adnan & d First Malay regimental army... Lt Adnan was a fierce & loyal soldier who fought bravely during the japanese attack in 1942..below r some pixs dat i took while our tour guides showed d place ard...

an ol siren used during d japanese attack

treetopwalk... part of the trip

linda... one of d teachers at northland

d P4 NE immersion camp.. 1 of d many interesting activities..an indian lunch for the kids.. teachers included...as u can see we all enjoyed it..

see how d pupils r seated wif their food..

P1 meet-the-parent session cum musical

Secondly, its towards d holidays so d card saman dah start masok..my sec school fren got married & a good gf of mine got engaged..

d blissful couple

my old sec sch frens...

sri mahligai.. d source of entertainment for d nite

me & my akel sempat amek gambar wile waiting for d couple

a very very gd fren's engagement...

nursyah... pretty rite...

me & Nursyah..

d gals...

Thirdly, my modem got busted due to a "ghost" in my house (koz none want to admit) it short circuit & d cable got burnt..yesh.. burnt...den my family called starhub & pasang d wireless network..but none in d family is dat technical savvy so d internet connection was down d d very moment i tried it. Masok control panel & godeh-godeh d network connection pon samer jugak...(agaknyer im d one who jinxed it tak??)& now im posting dis entry at school...kesian..

Lastly...PAcking,Packing & Packing..goin to Melb tomoro... yippe dah doo daey!!!!!but den leceh pon ader... since its winter time dere.. baju kena bawak banyak nar..thermal clothing, jeans, pants,t-shirt long sleeves & short sleeves (yesh short sleeves.. will need to layer dem), sweater, normal jacket & winter jacket..semuer kena bawak.. all d clothing will be used at d same time... so u can try to visualise how i will look like..very d puffed up.. hmmm.. mintak2 its not dat cold as wat my bro had said.. leceh lah pakai tebal2..

nway i shall try(read:"try") to update dis blog of mine in real time as possible..so try (read dis again: "try") to look out for it ;)

"Yani, I cant believe it that i'm actually married"

2005-05-23T02:10:00.000+08:00

yes.. dat was wat my fren, sheda, said to me on 21/5/05 ard 2plus in the morning as we lay on d floor next to her new queen-sized-bed- filled-with-barang-hantarans..
u c on d 20.05.2005 , sheda climbed up to the next stage of her life and being a gd fren that i am *ahem2*, i stayed the nite over wif her (yesh, ironically her first nite as a married woman was spent with another woman!!) to help her next day as the bridesmaid..
basically we had a gd gerl's talk..sheda cldnt believe it dat she is finally married.. i had known her for about 3 yrs.. althou not quite a long period, i had seen her through quite a number gd & bad life experiences.. as i said in her frenster testi " sheda, aku kenal ko dari ko hapi, mood giler ko datang, ko tgh havoc and enjoying ur life, ade bf, takde bf, ade bf baru , lepas tu engaged Now getting MARRIED!" & NOW SHE IS FINALLY MARRIED...

Sheda, as you enter this wonderful new time in your life,
When you make Muhd lucky by becoming his wife,

I wish you all the happiness that the world can provide,
May good luck and fortune be always at your side.

May your marriage be happy, healthy and blessed,
Today and forever, I wish you nothing but the best..

poised & beautiful

d Bride & d Bridesmaid

2005-05-13T00:40:00.000+08:00

wel its has bn a week since my last entry i hv just realised wat a sick sick world it has coming into..
i hv a frenster a/c wich some of u mite be aware.. as most of u noe wld noe, frenster although static, it allows u to make new frens or keep in touch wif frens be it d long lost or newly found.. so wen i logged into my ac, boy i was surprised to receive an invite from an unknown chinese gerl...
it went like dis

"Member:GothIsSweet
Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 12:57:00 AM
Subject:Hmmm...

Freedom of Blog per se

2005-05-05T20:30:00.000+08:00

well, my friend and I had a interesting conversation...
and blogging is the topic. although it is one's personal yet public avenue for reflection or an insight of one's own life , it seems to be creating a big hoohaa right now..
its issues hv been flaring up in d news recently & in this surreal yet existant cyber community...

& for those who did not read /watch d news ( eider due to deir hectic schedules or simply ignorant)
let me list some of dem for you..
1.. a young man had apparently got himself into trouble with the authorities due to some baseless remarks he made on a certain govt-affliated company..
2.. a remorseful rascist who thought (notice d past tense) dat keeping d bloodline clean and untainted should be practiced..
3.. people who got labelled *exhibitionist,*fake or *unrealistic(as dey only give the postive insight of their life while missing d bad ones), jahil (bcoz dier lifestyle may not reflect de' islamic way of life), un-Asian or specificly *Un-Malay(koz dey tend to blog in very Cheemish English), etc, etc...

i cant say much about the priors neider do i want to..
but for the latter, i guess the freedom of speech or "Freedom of Blog" per se has its imaginary boundary..
but den we are humans, & as such, we r imperfect in our own ways.. thus to label another without mirroring oneself , i tink (if I may..) is tactless aka blundering, boorish, brash, crude, discourteous, impolite, impolitic, inconsiderate, indelicate, injudicious, insensitive, rude, thoughtless, uncivil, unconsiderate, undiplomatic, unperceptive, unpolished, unsubtle, unsympathetic, vulgar (dos who tink im cheemish.. dont worri i check some of dem in the dictionary.. its not sumting dat i simply pluck out of my brain) or simply NASTY..

however neither those among us is able to stop this labelling aka in layman's term G.O.S.S.I.P, (which i believe 99.999% of us are guilty of..**God bless the 0.001%**) yes.. ironically.. i consciously & unconsciously am guilty of it..
& as such a certain code of conduct is subconsciously created for the newbies bloggers, such as me, or any like-minded people to prevent us from getting L.A.B.E.L.L.E.D...

so wen I blog,
i do not want to
1. show a possible sad state of my family (not dat I am implying it is at the moment)
2. give a hint dat I may be having problems wif my love ones ( which, insyallah, i do not hv)
3. divulge the scandalous information about my frens, if there is any ( love dem so much)
4. display pictures of myself or/with frens in a scantily clad clothes (though i admit i do dress that way but ironically i do not want ALL people to store permanently an image of myself in that manner)

But even if i do all d above, let me remind u all that i m human & i m not perfect & make errors now & den (thou a lot.. God forgive me..).. i will readily and willingly admit that,however I do not like to be labelled in such negative manners koz i believe that everyone has some amt of goodness in them & will oneday change for the better..

So, if u happen to read my blog & found it to be on ur distaste.. please do not label me in a negative way..even if u do want to.. allow me to make a dent in ur conscious, u & i are alike.. we are IMPERFECT so pls mirror urself first.. BUT if u think dat i need to be told off or in malay- teguran, please ( i beg u) do it TACTFULLY, Positive Talking Please...Thank you..

it's monday oredy!?!?

2005-05-02T03:57:00.000+08:00

not so chaotic...

mendaki today was tad too breeze.. not d usual chaotic where my P3 kids go "teacher! teacher!"
u see it was d Mendaki SA1.. Imagine dat!! Mendaki pon ader SA1..
Been teaching at Mendaki for a yr plus.. Boy!!!!

Let me tell u dat d workload is getting heavier by d day...
as usual it's d administrative tasks..

I mean im ok wif d administrative task but some of it i just dont understand d purpose..

tutors are told by the mendaki officers to collect a health survey form abt d pupils..

yet dey hvnt collect it from us since January.. Most tutors r saying dat the Mendaki piperl r just blowing hot air on us.. but den if it is d benefit of d kidz, i'm for it..
now we are also required to check on pupils if they do not turn up for class..

it is so UNLIKE last time, when pupils were absent for a few weeks, tutors don give a hoot abt the absentism (ahacks!! iwas one of d kids back den!!) abt dis i hv no complains.. since it helps to deter absentism.. nway i do not hv much to complain abt my class.. dey all r always eager to go for mendaki but i cant say dat for d hmwerks dat i had assigned to dem.. hehee.. ade ajer excuse dat dey give me..

Some will go like dis "i put inside my bag den wen i reach hm buku takde."

i dont know weder i shld laugh at it but luckily i was able to stifle it and act garang..

nxt wk buku tu magically appearlah... hmmm dis kids damn funny lah... ade aje.. veri cute lah..

nway dese r d culprits.. engrossed in their SA1

d middle kid jg gv me d lamest excuse..

d boy is d oder joker in class.. buat kelakar seram aje but a fine kid..

now all dese here are gd little kids xcept d fact dat dey are talkative by nature.. veri...

nway my mom's fren bought it for her..

no thanks to her children, it was gone in less than a day.. so for dose who want to try it, u can get it at...

Sedaplah!!!!

wat do u do wen u miss someone....

2005-04-21T21:56:00.000+08:00
