exam week...

two weeks before the school holiday begins,the students had their mid term exam
(PPT1)..the school was quieter than usual (read:only during the examination sessions) although at times we can hear buzzing and whispering sounds esp at the final 30 minutes..owh,they usually completed the papers before that which made them like 'cacing kepanasan' while waiting for the exam to end..agknye form 1 students tak exam-orinted sgt kot exam week is the time for teachers to relax a bit without having to do lesson plans and also reflections throughout the exam period.some tried to finish marking papers so that they wl have a good holiday..niceee~

as for me, i had to ensure tht the exam sessions went well and the papers were sufficient and arranged according to the days..that was not so hard.. the hardest part wl come after all the marks are collected + waiting for the marks to reach me safely

school holiday=students enjoy/teachers=headache(reading to the incomprehensible sentence structure n repetitous stories) we'll see how i get through this holiday...owh,3 days holiday had past and i haven't started marking yet...huhuh~

say it out loud!~

salam n kia ora peeps..
at this moment,i feel like sharing my experience helping the school choral speaking team to practice for school level competition that was held last wednesday (April 15).the result?
we got fourth placing...sighhhhh owh,that is another episode of the story..i dun think i want to talk about tht here..let bygones be bygones~

i was very pleased to be part of the team and having a good team to work with makes it even more fun and fulfilling. no stress, just pure hard work..ahaaaa~

the choral speakers had been practicing for about two weeks. k.wan did the scriptwriting and I helped her to edit the script. however, it has been constantly changing until the very last minute, looking at the necessity of the performance.(to ensure that we reach the time limit..yess,it's hard to reach 8 mins i tell you..we already have 4 pages of the script, to add sounds and movements etc).the students also contributed brilliant ideas that add colors to the script.for those who r familiar wth choral speaking,u knw why the script is alwys changing..

the practice session went okay though some boys wre not gvng their full commitment..thy come as thy like..it's hard to keep thm coming for the practice..yes, thy might hv their own reasons for their absent(tuition etc) some boys like iqbal,arif,loga and wong gave their best commitmnt..good job boys!~ the girls..very dedicated n enthusiastic..what else cld i ask frm them

with all the hard work,the roller coaster weeks of practice,the challenges and the 'political situation' that we successfully faced with good grace and the fantastic efforts tht you have shown...i hv to say tht i'm proud to hv y'all as the CYBERIAN choral speakers!!!! way to go guys!

 

ohhh yeahhh...

happy2 shall we be..and indeed i am happy..i've gotten my first and second pay already..yipppeee! hmmm..my to-do and to-buy lists are full by now..keskes..owh,mind you, to-save list is done yaa..vry dangerous if it's not done earlier..mau bankrupt syarikat i hv done what am i supposed to do so tht my pay will have more 'barakah' so to speak..i always believe in tht..

so, what i do wth my salary..i always wanted to give myself a pat at the back for my so-called hardwork...therefore, i often go to my friend's spa to relax and pamper myself aftr some hectic days...if i feel that my body needs to be pampered, there shall i go..hehhe~syiokkkkkk what more can i ask...my partner-in-crime, puan mary is also addicted to this spa thingy..she likes it vry much... i like it tooooooooooo

*what's in my mind rite nw?what to buy...hw cn i spend my money wisely wtht getting bankrupt..huhuhu*

my heart melts...

Situasi: Didalam kelas 1P7 yang sentiasa 'ceria' dan hyper,cikgu sedang mengajar matapelajaran Sejarah.Pelajar seperti tidak menunjukkan minat untuk menjawab latihan yang diberikan.

Melihat keadaan itu, cikgu mendapat idea dan berkata, 'siapa yang dapat jawab soalan dengan betul dan paling cepat akan dapat hadiah!', maka pelajar dengan tiba-tiba bersemangat untuk menjawab soalan latihan itu. Ada yang bertanya 'Cikgu nak bagi hadiah apa?'

Seorang pelajar yang lain berkata,'saya tau hadiah apa yang cikgu nak bagi..cikgu nak bagi kasih sayang cikgu pada saya kan'..saya hanya mampu tersenyum tanpa kata.*dalam hati berbunga2 riang,awwwwwwww~

my heart truly melts listening to those words and looking at the beaming face.that student really made my day...

no title

oh dear oh dear...

the school has started this week. so much things to do and i am overwhelmed with all these.i need to do some aromatic therapy to sooth and calm myself and of course, smile a lot bcoz it is healthy to do so =)

i enjoyed my holiday to the max..meeting friends who i dear so much made me feel i am in a thin air.that's the best therapy so far!~

*saye sudah lama tidak menulis blog yee..apela nak jadi...saya ada alasan sendiri (baca:tidak berkesempatan untuk menulis atau malas)..anda bagaimana?

so long farewell...

I just came back from sending my friends who are posted to Kota Marudu,Sabah at KLIA. There are three of them (Faa,Dayah and Yao) from seven who are supposed to go to Sabah. I was told that the other four are not coming. They are not planning to go, I guess. Whatever it is, they must have their own reasons that I think, we should respect...I know that some of them really want to go to Sabah to teach but because of disapproval from parents, they could not make their dreams come true which is to be educators for children in Sabah. Hence, the dilemma..parents or passion?I believe in this case, parents come first...

I got the chance to talk to one of my friend's mother while waiting for her to settle things for the flight. She expressed her little concern of her daughter going to Sabah and her indignation towards the primary teachers who are sent to Sabah. I can see that she is a worried mother who wants some justice for her daughter. I know that all mothers are like that.They will be reluctant to let their 'anak dara' to go to teach in a place that they barely know, and some more in Sabah.I was also a bit frustrated when I was told that they still do not know which school or which part of Kota Marudu that they will be teaching and living.They will only know the details once they are in Kota Kinabalu or maybe Kota Marudu.So, can you imagine how worried the parents are?


I think that my friends who had decided to take the challenge to go for posting in Sabah deserve my highest respect.They are a bunch of people who are very positive indeed..yes, I know they are verrrrrrryyy posssitiveeeeeeee!~u go girlsss! I can see that they already look like great teachers in the making..with the baju kurung, the 'teacher' walk, the smile,thhe positive attitude, the enthusiasm and the preparation(one of them actually bought some puppets and brought along puppet stages to be used for teaching...awesome!~)...what else can i say...Owh, they will be great and inspirational teachers!~they are products of IPBA and their respective overseas universities.they will make us (IPBARIANS) very proud!!!

happy packing to friends who are going to other destinations in Sabah like Sandakan,Semporna,Tawau,and others..please take care of yourself, hope that you can settle down (find a good and comfortable place to stay),always be motivated for you will motivate your students (a reminder for myself), remember, there is always a silver lining in every cloud..please keep in touch and may Allah bless us always!~
