I Made MY MUm GO Green

My mum has started working partime and she has been so pretty busy to notice her kitchen , where she keeps all her stuff. I told her that I was willing to get her some containers to organize her shelf but no......................... she told me not to waste any money.

Yesterday , we brought her to IKEA and we saw some containers . Price not bad too . So I bought the containers for her then we went to TESCO and she said she needed bigger containers . OKay bought that for her also . But , she kept on saying no need to buy a lot .



We came home , I took out everything from her shelf and put whatever I could into the containers . It looks so much better now and so organized and my headache is gone . I see clean space and I can breathe now . Even my mum notice the difference now . Guess what ? She wants ... more containers now . Good no more plastic bags here and there .


Next , I will get her to shop by bringing her own bags but first I will have to buy some bags for her !!!! So when she goes out shopping, she can use them.


So when you are in my house the next time , please go and see her shelf . She is very proud of it .

Sorry no picture to show all of you :)

My Class Went Beep ! Beep ! Beep !

I was teaching one afternoon and suddenly I heard a sound Beep ! Beep ! Beep! Okay I thought that it must be some parents walking along so...... just forget it , I told myself .

Then, not even a second, it went Beep ! Beep ! Beep ! again . NO it can't be .. something must be terribly wrong with my hearing today . Just ignore it .


Wait , there it goes again ....... hear that ...... that Beeping sound again . It can't be my phone even though it is a Nokia and for crying out loud my phone is almost 7 years old and it doesn't make THAT sound !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I decided to ask ;

Me: Did any of you here today bring in a handphone in your bag?
Class: Silent.

I asked again and this time I was almost going to marah already !!!
Class : They mentioned their friend's name however , I will not type it out ( protection purposes la )

It was the same child who brought in the fifty ringgit . Why la , why la must he test me two days in a row ?
He said that his mum allowed him to bring the phone so that when she calls him , he will have to answer it .

Hmmmmm......................... as usual I called up his dad . His dad was quite surprised cos they scolded him for bringing money to school and now this . Sigh.......................... that is why I have grey hairs on my head .

So in the end it was settled and on MOnday I promise to frisk his bag before he enters the school . Ha ..... we see who lagi pandai and what if I find more surprises in his bag ? Well , I will just take it home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No la , just kidding.

Rm 50.00 smackeroonies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As promised the story .............. This happened the same day we had the black out . So after sending the children home , I was talking to my friend about the weekend .Yes the weekend , when our school maid , told me this ;

Maid : Teacher Audra , anak buah teacher Audra ada duit .
Me : ????????? ( DUit ?)
Maid:Dia main duit la teacher. Mari lihat . Aiyo ! Teacher wang lima puluh ringgit

la teacher.
I went in and asked my student ;

Me : Mana awak dapat duit ni ?
Student : ( Feeling takut already ) Mak saya bagi duit ni kat saya ,dia kata saya
boleh beli barang dengan duit ni.
Me : Awak ambil ke ?
Student :Tak la dia bagi saya aje .

Feeling angry already , I called the mother . Very clamly she said; Oh !
You know what this is one of the most normal days which I face as a teacher and RM 50.00 is not much . When I was in my ex kindy , my student brought in Rm 500.00 . The best part was , when he got to class he gave some of his friends the money . By the time we found out it was kinda too late . The kids went home with the money . Thankfully one of the parent called up the school and informed my principal . So we had to phone up the dad and told him what had happened .

We did the next best thing . The student , luckily could remember who he gave the money to and even named his friends so we were lucky enough to trace back all of the money .

Parents , please keep your purse /wallet/handbags/handphones away from your children !!!!
