In the name of responsibility

As I was walking back home one day, I saw a man with his daughter picking up rubbish. To my surprise it was not even their compound but it belongs to the public. For ages none of us take the responsibility to pick it up but the act of the man and his daughter somehow touched me and it made me realize that a simple deed can make this world a better place. Yeah of course it’s not even their duty but somehow the rubbish will give such a terrible and horrendous sight.

 Back in school, I have to keep on reminding my students to pick up the litters on the floor but the words that will always come out from their mouth “It’s not mine!”  Well that’s explains why we are listed in the top least courteous. The blaming game will always go one with no one to take charge of it. Hey you! It’s not about finding who’s the one responsible in throwing the litter but it’s about how we as a civilized citizen willing to pick it up in the name of responsibility.

We do can make a difference! Let’s make the change now and make Malaysia a better place to live in!

2. Coach for netball and manager for volleyball

3. First-aid teacher – I’m a nurse now!!!!

4. House master – manager of 100++ students for Sports Day

5. Cookery club – I can work as a chef too

6. A teacher who teaches in class, English Form 2, Pendidikan Moral Form 1 & Literature in English Form 5

I shall say this, I’M PROUD TO BE A TEACHER.

If you think teacher is the easiest job in this world, THINK AGAIN!!!!

P/S: SPM result coming out soon, oh my lit students I pray that you will obtain a good result. Dup dap dup dap.

How I ended my 2011

Ø Went back to my hometown…so lucky that it was durian season I have a multilicious (the new word I created) durians from Ranau. Seriously peeps Ranau durian is on top of the chart.

Ø Organizing an impromptu Tcamp at my grandma’s kampong. Feel blessed and the peeps there asked me ‘where you’ve been hiding for all this while, we need you here!!’ and my answer was I’m not hiding it’s just that I’m immersed myself in a low-profile mode.

Ø Looking after my mom and accompanied her to go for scheduled appointments at 2 hospitals. (a must-to-do thing when I’m at home)

Ø Visited my girlfriend at her Tiger Homestay in Lawas, thanks for the warm and super duper hospitality given by Pammy and her familia.

Ø Attended my buddy’s intercultural wedding, Datuk Henry my buddy during uni time. An Iban married to a Lundayeh. Having a new experience of attending a Lundayeh wedding. I take my hat off to them as they are still practicing their culture.

Ø Visited another buddy from uni time, Salvia as she will have her engagement ceremony the next day (she’s engaged now), couldn’t make it for the engagement ceremony as we needed to head back to hometown so we made an early visit.

Ø Celebrated Christmas at my grandma’s kampong for the first time ever in my life. Though it was simple, I did enjoy myself.

Ø Having open house at my cuzzie’s house. Another makan-makan time, the part where I’m surely gain some weight.

Ø Girlfriends day out with my secondary school besties; Dora, Tom & Betty. We headed to Tan Sri’s house(btw it’s not his title it’s his name) to eat durian and had a photography session at Tugu Nunuk Ragang. As usual I’ll be the model.

Ø Having a Christmas celebration at my very own kampong and as usual we are in-charge of the deco.

Ø Fly back to KL with heavy-hearted, I bid adieu to my Mom and I cried. Over and over again I’ve been thinking “AM I TOO SELFISH?”.

Ø Attended meeting with the CEO and knew that 2012 will be a tough and challenging and the good news has put a smile on everyone’s faces . More responsibilities to come!!!!

Ø My New Year celebration- a steamboat session at Pastor P’s house. Doing countdown by sleeping and realized that clock struck 12 with the sound of the fireworks that lasted for quite a long time. I was super duper tired from the journey from Ranau to Kl then early morning meeting that I wrapped myself inside a blanket and didn’t even care about new year.

2011 has been a great and blessed year for me. I started my career as teacher and involved with so many things in ministries. 2012…………..here I come!!!!

A Picture = Thousand Words

A picture is worth a thousand words.

It's only a picture and many assumptions can be made.

Unexpectedly when my friend uploaded this pic so many people came and grabbed this pic and it even appeared on newspaper with so many captions.

And the best part is when people started to give comments on the pics and the one who kena a lot of course me la :(

People even extended their creativity by editing the pic to lots of version. It's kinda made me proud as well because people will not steal your work unless it is awesome and great!!!!

The cartoon version of the pic.

On the other hand, I feel proud also because it shows that me managed to put up a good act.

As a matter of fact this action was done spontaneously but the result was superb thanks the photographer miss florentina.

P/S: holiday mode is now activated but the bad thing is i feel so bowringggg staying at home doing nothing. Going outttt??? nooooo gotta save some money to go cuti-cuti malaysia..Mabul perhaps *wink wink*

Annual Dinner

I was so tired and I can't focus on doing my works.

So, here I am blogging.

Bunch of gorgeous teachers *wink wink* (am proud to be one)

I love the food that they have during the dinner. The event was very simple yet it was fun..with the 80's song and we're like singing and dancing. It's our day dude!!!

The theme is Retro 80's so I tried my best by mixing and matching with whatever things that I have (urghhh saving $$$$ mode)

I did buy the polka dot belt which cost me RM1 and those big earrings for RM2 to make myself look retro. (don't want to be left behind in dressing up mode)

P/S: gotta think of what to wear for pre-christmas dinner, wanna be funky this time around..ideas please???

I Made My Pledge...No Apologies!!!

I made a pledge..yes I did!!!!

Indeed abstinence works everytime

It's just about you and yourself.

We are in charge of our action but please stop blaming people.

My comment about No Apologies program:

I love it so much because they taught us to be practical in practising abstinence since marriage is

a gift of commitment to our future husband or wife.

I highly recommend this program to all teenagers.

At the end of the program those who wanted to make a pledge can sign the given card but in western normally they will wear purity ring but here we have the pledge card.

Yes we made a commitment today!

and here's my card that will be put inside my wallet as a reminder for me.

P/S: Wedding bells are everywhere and more and more friends are married. Gotta think of dress for their wedding receptions.

I Asked God

I asked God to give me straight A’s

But 2 came out as TH

I asked for straight A’s again

But God just gave me 4

I asked God for 9 this time

But why he gave me only 4 and I got 7 for add maths

Why

Why

And why?

He is so unfair

Going to boarding school

Becoming a forensic expert

These were my dreams

I didn’t ask much

But why He didn’t fulfill it

I went to church every Sunday

I fast 24 hours before every examination

But why?

My life was ruined

I can’t see what future awaits me

I enrolled in form 6 science

I got my confidence back in my run to achieve my dreams

Just 2 months and I found out it was so difficult for me

Chemistry made my cry

Biology drove me crazy

Maths was killing me

Oh God will I ever get through this

I have thought of quitting

But how can I tell my friends when they ask me what I’m doing now

Then came this telegram stated there about an interview

After two days I went and came unprepared

The writing test was easy but the interview session was way tougher

I didn’t know any current news so I just made up

1 month later came this offer later

Yes I made it

But I cried

I cried because I’m going to bid adieu to my family

5 years of study and now I’m a TESL graduate

Looking back on how my life was before

I feel so embarrassed

I feel so ashamed

If I take the time to listen to His voice during that time

I think this is what He will say to me

My child,

It’s not that I don’t want to give you straight A’s

But you are not ready for it

For you will become snobbish

And leave me behind

I asked you to continue with your ministry but you turn Me down

For I know your strengths and weaknesses

For I know you what future holds for you

And I know what’s the best for you

Today I say to God

Thanks for everything

Thanks for always standing beside me when I turn you down

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to know about You

I will never stop thanking You

For the greatest thing in my life is knowing You

I didn’t know much why You wanted me to become a teacher

But I now I know you have given the vision to me

To be the light and salt to my students

And now I stop asking but I start doing

long time no write

i long time no write eh

why ah?

because i'm super duper lazy...

i have lots of things to write but i don't know where to start

and when i start putting my thoughts into words it's hard for me to write the conclusion or even put the full stop.

my last post was in 2009 when i was still a student

so many changes happened but i didn't update my blog..urgghh silly me

from student to employee

from bank to school

from underweight to normal

from long hair to short

but i just love my life now

A teacher am I

To educate

To inspire

and

To share

with my students

Not just the knowledge

But also the treasure of life

Latest pic of me :)

#Happy working on Tuesday peeps!

the ME vs the AE

Report from the battle field: A tough fight between ME and AE and both actually have equal opportunity to win. Let's see who's gonna win and who's will be knock out from the battle. Rule of the game: "whoever give up or surrender by 29th October will lose"

Few more weeks to go and ME was having fun and wasting time.

On the other hand, AE was mad with ME because instead of fighting with him, she was doing something else.

As time passed by, ME suddenly realized...


OMGGGGGGGGG....few days more to go and panic stroke ME "what should I do? Where should I start?"
all the wh- questions are coming out from ME's mouth and also the how question

ME regretted for she has wasted all the times that she had before...sob sob..

actually ME didn't cry I put this to make it more dramatic...literature student mah Now back to the story......

Me felt so tense

she kept on asking herself will I be able to finish on time...I don't have the strength to carry on...helppppp!!!!!! mayday!!!!! mayday!!!!! Then one fine day ME saw this


"Wow..this thing is good huh..ho liao" said ME. She wanted to purchase it but then ME realized that it's not a good thing to get that because she will still lose to AE in the end. She kept on thinking on what she should do in that very last moment then she suddenly sang this song:
"JESUS IS THE ANSWER FOR THE WORLD TODAY, ABOVE HIM THERE'S NO OTHER, JESUS IS THE ANSWER"

"Aha!, " said ME, "JESUS IS THE ANSWER". For all these while ME was looking for the solution and on that very day she got the answer. She started to pray and gave all her worries to God.

Jesus said in the bible 1 Peter 5:7 :"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares you"

Me did not feel tense anymore and she was more motivated to fight with AE. It's a tough fight but she didn't want to give up because she believes that when she's walking with God there's nothing that she should afraid of.

Although sometimes she became like this


but in the end.....

she WON the battle against AE. AE is now with ME's coach as he wanted to become as good as ME too.

ME is now looking forward for this..wink wink



THE VICTORY FOR ME....not yet la ME dun perasan ah paper CALL lum ambik gik

ME felt shy-shy cat ..hehe

****you guys must be wondering what AE is, am i right??? actually AE stands for Academic Exercise/ Thesis
so moral of the story is ________________ (fill in the blank)

CLOSE or OPEN

These two words haunted UiTM students recently for there's so many H1N1 cases reported everyday and our beloved UiTM is affected too. Frankly speaking I'm tired of listening to the rumors that UiTM will be closed for 1 semester.......oh no!!!! I want to finish my study this year and not next year...plz let me graduate this year T_T

This is the no 1 rumor that really make my day today:
PERHATIAN. UiTM akan umumkan cuti peristiwa sempena H1N1 bermula 16/8/09-3/1/10..Sila layari student portal untuk keterangan lanjut. Untuk makluman sila cetak borang permohonan penangguh pelajaran.
I'm so tired last night so I woke up late this morning. Actually, I received this SMS when I was still sleeping. You know how it feels when you're like still sleepy and blurry. So, when I read the SMS I was like..huh??? no way!!! 1 semester???? oh no!!!!! So I text Abigail to confirm whether the SMS is true or not but she asked me to read it carefully. Then I read the SMS again and i found this.
Sila click di...
AKU SUDAH KENA TIPU.COM...hahahaha. Pdn muka nk cuti sgt. Jgn hrp la.

Yeah I was 'wakenabeb' or one of the innocent victims in Howie Do It. Well I'm looking forward to hear the announcement that will be made by UiTM top management. this Tuesday. I pray that eventhough it will be closed but not for 1 semester please, the longest probably 1 month..haha. One thing on my mind 1 month is enough for me to do AE.

A Big Loss

yeah I know I didn't update my blog for quite some time or for a long time to be exact :p. I have lots of things to write but it seems that blogging is not my cup of tea but I will try to update my blog regularly..hmm let's see k :)

Yesterday I received this SMS from my best friend, Tatum:
Tlg pray utk mmy sia. Dia masuk emgncy smlm sb sakit kpla n muntah2. Then hr ni doc suspect ada bleeding dlm kpladia. Belum decide lg whthr perlu bdah or x.
I was surprised to hear that but I thought it's the disease that her mum usually had. I did pray for her mum. Later when we were having service at church I found out that her mum was in critical condition and Tatum and her sister had been asked by their brother to go back to Sabah a.s.a.p. So, right after service Jim drove them to the LCCT accompanied by Pam, Cleo and me. During the journey, I have a bad feeling :( and I thought that this maybe caused by my decision not to attend the meetings after the service. I just kept it to myself because I didn't want to cause any tense.

Tatum's flight was at 7.30 p.m. so she arrived at KK at 10 p.m. So, I've decided to give her a call at around 11p.m. and I was so sad to hear the news from Tatum about her mum's condition. I know how she felt as her mum suddenly fell sick though about a month ago before she went back to KL her mum was in a pink of health. She also told me that the doctor said nothing can be done and I prayed to God to give strength to her family and do the best for her mum.

I was already asleep when I received this SMS from Tatum at 2.27 a.m. today:
Ibu sy (Pn. Sekia) sdh dipanggil Tuhan at 2.08 a.m. Pls pray utk sgala kprluan kmi n prsiapan utk kebumi..doa jg utk phburan bg kmi skluarga.
I read the SMS again and again because I didn't believe what had been typed and I thought I was dreaming. Then, I woke up in the morning and read the SMS again..tears falling down from my eyes T_T ...the SMS is very true and I'm not dreaming. I feel so sad for the loss of Tatum's mum. We had met twice , in sabah and also in Shah Alam. For me she's such a lovely person and so motherly. Later, I called Tatum and told her to be strong and gave her support.

The death of Tatum's mum reminds me of the death of my beloved grandpa on 30th May this year. It's hard to accept the death of our love ones especially when it's a sudden death. We felt like they shouldn't leave us yet because we still need them but it is beyond our control. It lies in God's hand because no one comes to God except through Him.

This is the verse from the bible that I came across when I was writing the biography for my grandfather and I did share it with Tatum.
Revelation 14: 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes, "says the spirit,"they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.

This verse gives me the strength that I need to face the fact that my grandpa is now in a different world from me and I believe that Tatum can do the same thing too. Today when I think back about the bad feelings that I had yesterday it was the same feeling that I had experienced few hours before my uncle and my grandpa died. I just don't know how did these happened.

Condolence to Tatum and her family. Be strong girl for the Lord God is with you and I will always be there for you.

My grandpa's grave
