Things go haywire

The pic up there is my current profile pic in fb. I like the pic coz it has that emotional mood in it. Anyway, the tittle of this post explains it all. Things are going haywire in my life. I don't even know where to start. Many issues are too sensitive to be mentioned thus I will not share what's making my life haywire. But there's just one thing that makes me keep moving. The fact that one day these will all pass through. Some things will remain the same, I have to accept that fact by now. But some others can change in the future. I'll try to be positive and maybe one day things will get better for me. The most frustrating fact about this holiday is everyhting that I planned goes down the well. Let's hope at least ONE of the things that I plan will work,k? God help me..

Happily married =)

My 1st close friend is getting married today and I can't attend her wedding. (T.T) How sad is that? Oh well, life is not a bed of roses. I have to accept the fact that I'm still obliged to seek my mom's permission to do something. In this case, going to Malacca without her is not a good idea.

Anyway, enough about me. It's a happy day for Kak Mun & Abg Hasrul. I wish I could see their faces. Mesti cam bahgia gile coz finally they are bonded with marriage. Can have kids soon and spend the rest of their life together. How sweet =) I've always thought that the best thing about attending a wedding is to look at the bride and groom's faces. Usually there's a kind of flashiness in their face that I can't describe. They'll look so happy and thankful on that day. I wonder how I'd look like when I get married one day?

Although I can't attend the wedding, my prayers are certainly with you.. May Allah bless both of you and grant you with cute kids to spend your life with. How I wish I can be there to celebrate the day with you. To abg hasrul, jaga kak mun baik2 na.. ;)

Shooting Suka Suki

Last week my siblings and I went to Cameron. We were there for 3 days and 2 nights. Although it was so cozy to sleep when it was so cold, my sis and I decided to take a tour around the hotel. Nana was ready by 7.00 a.m but it was drizzling so she waited for it to stop. At last we went out at 8.00 a.m although it was still drizzling. It was very cold~~ Of course, we brought our camera along and here are some of the pictures that we took.

Nice sakura flowers eh?

This was pretty much the earlier pictures of me. We didn't meddle with the camera setting yet. Can you see how foggy it was? =)

Jeng jeng jeng.. After we found this 'nature-like' place, we changed the setting to black and white mode. I'm not good at posing huh? Yeah, I know that..

I hope this one has the 'classic' look. Hee =D mcm kat oversea plak eh?

Another new setting meddled by my sister. It gives you the purplish look. U must wonder how does the surrounding look like actually eh? ;p

This was taken on our 2nd day. To be honest, I was not really in the mood of taking pictures that morning. But hey, the pictures didn't turn out that bad I guess..

Okay..let's have some colours now. Pretty flowers eh? We love mardi because of that. So many beautiful flowers for us to admire. 

Finally, there's someone else on the picture! These are my beloved onnis~ =)

Wee~I love this pic! Make sure you find this spot if you go to mardi yea..

Last picture 4 dis post.. I dunno what flower is that, but it sure brings the 'winter sonata' mood. hehe..

I'll be sharing more about my trip to Cameron soon. It was my first holiday with my siblings only. Cameron has never been that cold before. I guess it's because it was drizzling every day. Anyway, hope I'll be able to update soon. Miss blogging already! 

Of 1 year & Goodbye

I've been loving you for one year

Can't believe it's that long already

Today, you're smiling 

Smiling happily

Because your heart is fulfilled

You finally found

A girl to love

And she's not me. =)

It's called the cycle of life

I just came back from meeting one of my friends from Kumon. It was a very short meeting. We ate at Curry's house, chatted all the way and said goodbye. While we were chatting, I realised that things would be different after this. She's gonna further her studies to Master thus she can't work at Kumon after September. Kak Mun is getting married next month and she has already resigned yesterday. Slowly everyone is moving on and goodbye is a must.

I told Kak Nazira, "Kejap je dpt rapat. Pastu dah nak pisah..". You see, this has been going on in my life since I can remember. I tend to get very close with my circle of friends and in just a short while it's time to say goodbye. When I was in school I always thought that it's just the way of life. Sometimes I even thought of closing myself from people. Why do I always have to say goodbye to the person that I love? It's better not to love anyone than to lose them. When I was younger I said to myself that I will never get too close with someone again. It's painful every time I have to say goodbye. But I kept forgetting and it happened again and again.

For one month I've been very close with my friends from Kumon. Then suddenly one after another is going away. Yeah, sure we can meet any time we want. We live nearby. But it'll be different aite? Especially since Kak Mun is getting married. She can't hang out with us like before. I'm happy that she's settling down but at the same time sad to say goodbye. I guess this IS the cycle of life. You meet people, get close and depart. Then when you meet again you'll cherish the sweet memories you've shared before. Well, a goodbye will never be absolute unless you're dead. We shouldn't dwell on it. I'm lucky to have met these people. Although it's just for a short while, they've given me memories that I will never forget. I wish I could tell them how much I appreciate them. I feel so grateful to know them and be part of their life. 

After this partial goodbye we will still remain friends. We can always text each other and meet at Facebook. Although to some people one month is short, it was enough to make us really close. New friends will come to Kumon and we will get along too. But this friendship will remain special to me. Even if they're not around I will always treasure the memories we had. Thank you guys, for making that one month a very special one for me. I never thought working could bring this much memory. :')

I wish Kak Mun a happy and prosperous life with her future husband. Hope Kak Nazira gets to further her studies and be a lecturer in the near future. Kak Nad, don't leave us so soon like the others. Sara, we'll meet again this semester break aite? ;) To Din and Ali be as crazy as you guys are in the future. We'll never get tired of laughing. And of course, don't leave so soon as well. There's still so many things we can do together. To everyone, thank you very much once again. God bless you all.. =)

Introducing...

These are my students at Kumon. They are one of the reasons why coming to work is such a pleasure. Alis is one of my closest students. She got me close to crying on my last day of work. Luckily my eyes just got watery and I just nodded when she told me to come and work there again. I really miss her. Yesterday I visited Kumon but she wasn't there. Hope to see her soon.

Danish and Isabel brought a lot of interesting chapters in my life. There's always a first time in life and they contributed to it. I can never forget the day when Danish said to me, "Teacher nak yayak. Siapa nak basuhkan?". He's already 5 years old ok! Very spoiled eh? Isabel on the other hand is super duper cute! She's 1 year younger than her brother. She's not as spoiled as Danish. Isabel is more polite and innocent. 

Aisyah will enter school for the first time this year. She's very cute as well. She's the first student that gave me a card written 'thank you cikgu'. That was really sweet of her. She's very quiet and creative. I wish I have a cute sister like her.

Uzair will also enter standard one this year. He'll always ask me to mark his papers. After finishing his class work, he'll grab a book and read quietly at the nursery room. Very obedient boy but his mother claims a different fact. He is not obedient at home. I wonder why he has such contrasting character. 

Hani Nadia! She's a very hardworking girl. I didn't get to teach her during my last week of working though. She went to Bali with her family. I like how she looked like when I explained how to solve the Mathematics question. She'll be like "oooooohhhh" with a bright eyes. So cute!

Faudel. He's still a pre-schooler. He is one naughty boy. We were scolded by his mother in one of those weeks. He claimed that his mother has arrived and after asking several times we let him out. Suddenly his mother came in and scold us. Huhu. Pretty smart boy eh? Managed to fool his teachers into letting him out.

Yaya~! She is Shahmie Haziq's sister. I dun have his picture but I remember his face very well. They look so alike. Yaya is so pretty eh? I've never taught her before. Yesterday I saw her in baju kurung and tudung. So cute! 

Yazmin. This girl can be very annoying if you do not please her. But once you're close with her she will open up to you. She has a very nice voice and she loves Justin Bieber! 

Kashika~ She's also a pre-schooler. Cute in every way. Very soft spoken and polite. I hope she'll grow up to be a nice girl. She's very innocent now. Hopefully she'll stay at the right track and be good.

Balqis and Iqbal. I love teaching Iqbal because he's very eager to learn. He had fever for two days and didn't go to school. But he insisted on going to Kumon. We didn't even know he had fever because he looked normal. He must really love coming to Kumon! =)

Prahlaad..he's a very shy boy. I remember seeing him for the first time during the party. He arrived and straight away hid behind Cikgu Lina. Then he said, "teacher, I'm shy..". I feel like pinching him at that time. He looked so cute when he's shy. 


I look forward to teach them again this semester break. But before that I'll be working in Shah Alam first. Hopefully they'll still be there when I work this June. Can't wait to meet them again. All of them! =) 

Antivirus For Sale!

Do you know that one of the ways to protect your computer/laptop is by installing an antivirus? Bet you all do know that by now aite? I've used a trial version of ***** before and apparently ***** is the one giving viruses to my laptop. So I learned that I have to buy an original antivirus to protect my laptop.

So here's an offer for all of you. I am helping my cousin, sell kaspersky antivirus. I am currently using it and I am very satisfied. You can buy one at any shop but it would cost you around RM70-100 because of the packaging, CD and all. I say you can make it easier. Just download from kaspersky's website(or ask for my assistance if you don't know how) and I can give you the license key. 

Text me immediately if you want to buy one. I need to order the license key from my cousin first. For 1 user I'm offering RM40.00 and for 3 users I'm offering RM60.00. If you're interested, you know my number. If not, leave your number here and I'll contact you k! ;) 

Missing my students

It's only been 1 week and I've missed my students already. Last night I editted a few pictures of them. Well, there's so many students that I miss but I only have these 4 girls' picture with me. I wonder how they're doing now. Hope they'd study smart and keep up their good results. Sigh~ I wish I could meet them again but Friday class ends at 6p.m. Sob sob. Can't go back home early and meet them. (T.T) Anyway, God bless them all. I'll meet them again during my next semester break. Till then, just have to be patient and focus on my studies.. =)

This girl's name is Putri Nuralis Farisya! ;)

Batrisyia and Bazla ;)

Hani Nadia..didn't see her during my last week of working. But I met her when I was giving out Kumon flyers at SK Sri Subang Jaya.

Yazmin..I can never forget this girl. We call her Yazmin Bieber! ;)

Farewell Dear Friends

Finally, it's time to say goodbye. After a month of working, it's time to end the holidays and start kicking back in Shah Alam. Can't believe my one month holiday this time is filled with thousands of stories and experiences with my students, friends and boss. I finally know what people mean when they say 'work becomes play'. After this new experience, I began to rethink about my future plans. Do I really wanna be a lecturer and teach young adults or go for being a teacher and teach children? I can't believe I'm actually facing this kind of confusion before I even grad. Anyway, let's look of some of my pictures on my last day at work ya?

We are Kumon teachers! =)

My fellow co-workers

My friends are all older than me. Only Sara is a student like me. And we're both from UiTM Shah Alam! The others are all adults with a permanent job and they all work part time in Kumon. I remember watching 'Kaho Naa Pyar Hai' when I was young. There was a line in the movie that caught my attention. 'A man works during the day to feed his stomach but he works at night to fulfill his heart's desire'. In the movie, Hrithik Roshan worked as a salesman during office hours. At night, he would sing at any bar. So singing was his passion and when he sings at night it wasn't much about the money but about doing what he loves. He feels complete when he can sing and perform to an audience.

Now, before this that message was just a message to me. But after working in Kumon I finally understand what it means. My friends, they all have a stable job but why do they work part time in Kumon? It's not really about money. It's the satisfaction and joy of teaching the students. Izzudin for example. He lives In Cheras and works in HUKM. Can you believe that although Cheras & Subang Jaya is not that near, he actually took the effort to come and work part time in Kumon. Working 8 hours per day is tiring enough, and he actually continued another five hours at Kumon. He once told me that, ''working at Kumon is like my panadol. I got headache from working at HUKM and coming to Kumon is my drug''. 

As for me, I love working at Kumon because of four factors. The work, my students, my friends and my lovely boss. I enjoy teaching my students Math and English, marking their papers and educate them when I can. Because of my position as a teacher, I have come across many experiences of which I never would have expected happen to me. For example, handling a hyper student, teaching an autistic student, bringing them to the toilet (you know what happens next) and also facing a few rude students of which I do not know how to handle. Well, I think I made it sound tiring but actually it's not. It's a breathe of new air for me. It's really new to me and yet I'm loving the experience.

My second reason, the students. Looking at innocent faces every day makes you remember how beautiful life is. When you look at those young kids studying hard you just can't help feeling touched and it gives you more motivation to work. I used to think that I do not want to have a child because my child would be born in a very scary world and I do not want my child to be corrupted from it. But when I look at those innocent faces in class, I feel like there's no need to be afraid of the world. We can educate these kids to be a human. As long as they are in the right path they will turn out to be a splendid person. I just love seeing my students. The pre-schoolers are very cute and polite. The primary kids are also cute and hardworking while the secondary kids reminded me of my school days. It's a pleasure teaching them, especially since they themselves want to learn.

Another thing that I look forward to is to meet my friends. We've become close since the closing party for the kids and ever since we just couldn't stop being together. Constant plan to go out but only one succeeded. Never-ending comments and topics to share at our beloved secret group in Facebook and also the text messages when we aren't on the Internet. Planning to do this and that but it's kinda hard since we each have our own commitments besides working at Kumon. Anyway, every day I can't wait for it to be 6.00p.m when I can finally meet them. We'll always be laughing when we meet because of the topics that we talked about in our group. Well, teasing here and there and lots of gossiping sure makes you laugh and smile a lot. 

Last but not the least, is my beloved boss. I think I'm one of the luckiest person on Earth to get a boss like her. She's very close with us. She treats us like her younger sister and she's really understanding and loving. I got close with her since my first week of working. There was one day when I did not come to work cause I have to go back to my hometown. Even though I was only away for a day, we both missed each other. She was like a mom to me and she treated me as her sister. We spent lots of time together going here and there and sharing about life. I really respect her because she has gone through a lot of pain in order to become as successful as she is now. Our centre is top five in Malaysia because of her excellent performance as an instructor. Despite all her achievements, she is really down to earth and never brags about what she has.

So, I guess you can understand why I love working at Kumon so much. It's because I love evrything. There are so many things that I would like to share about kumon so you can expect more posts about kumon in the future. As for now, I'll end this post with a picture of me and my friends.

I'm thankful that I was given this opportunity. I've met new friends whom I respect very much and students who are very hardworking and naughty at times. Alhamdulillah..I have find another meaningful thing to do in life. =)  

Hello Teacher!

Finally, after all the attempts of applying for a part time job, I found one that was perfect for me! Being a teacher!!^^ I've wanted to work since after SPM but one after another thing came and stopped me from working. Well, we can only plan, Allah determines whether we get it or not. I've applied for a job in book stores, clinic, MPH and even Parkson. Each has its own problem that stopped me from getting a job. Now, after planning since last semester I managed to grab one. Yeay~! 

selamat pagi cikgu!  

Today I am even happier that my best friend got the same job too! Yeay~!!! How cool is that? We're working at the same place, but different branch. Haha!! I've been suggesting to her to work there as well cause it'll be very convenient and flexible. The working hour is not too long and the work is fun! She applied and alhamdulillah she got it too..

 

We're working at Kumon as English and Math teacher! I never knew much about Kumon until I've decided to work there. The students that come vary from age 3 to 17! I've marked an additional Mathematics paper as well. It was...err...funny may I say? Haha! I've been running away from math like since forever and here I am, marking Add m3 ok! If it's m3 it's still manageable. But it's add m3. Made me feel so impressed how the students were able to get it right within a short period of time. Genius ke hape diorg ni?

Anyway, I'm really thankful and happy to be given this chance. I've taught a special kid as well. She was slightly deaf and used a hearing aid. I never ever taught in my whole life I would ever have such experience. I was really touched that although she was special, she was learning what kids at her age are learning. And honestly she was doing fine. The fact that she's one of the hearing-impaired people did not stop her from learning. It made me wonder why fortunate people like us couldn't appreciate what we have and strive for the best. I see people taking their studies for granted and become so carefree about their life. I hope one day they'd realise how much they've lost. Well, it was a wake-up call for me as well. Some people have to go an extra mile to study so while I have the chance, I gotta go as high as I can go. I know that there are more to life than just books but hey, if you can score an A why go for B aite? So let's make a new resolution for next semester. We'll work hard to get 4.0! If we don't get it, we won't dwell but we'll try again untill we get it. Join me? Jom~!
