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 !!!!

Room , Roomy or Whatever else YOu might Want TO Call It .
The meaning of Room ; an enclosed area in a building ; unoccupied space ; which also mean spacious ,
A friend of mine once said that as a teacher she does not interact or talk or do small talk with her students .She would only speak to them when it is the last day of a term break . Seriously , to which I would say yes .
On the other hand I love having small talks with my students and as I say here once again , interaction is a must and it is okay for it to be bilingual as long as I get to speak to them ... No matter what .
Not at times but most of the times , I would allow my students room to move around and say what they have to say . At times it goes just like this ;
Me : Okay class I want you to start talking right now .
Students :?????????????
Me : Don't look so puzzled . Look , go ahead and talk , talk all you want and if you don't talk, you can't get to go home .
I mean kids will be kids , If you say no, you can't talk , all the more they will do it . When I told my friend what I did , she said that I was crazy . To tell you the truth , I am amazed by what I see in my students . Be it a big or a little thing , it makes a huge difference in their lives.
I am glad being a teacher though !!!

Bad Hair DAy AMy
Before I begin ,this is the second post . I will try to rewrite what I wrote in the earlier post as closely as possibe .
This post is not about anyone whose names are Amy . YOu see in today lesson ,( in class of course ) , my students were asked to draw missing parts of the facial area and by the time you read this , yes it's the ears , eyes, nose ,mouth etc ... that we are talking about and seriously I know it will be a very good and pleasant day for me till a student showed me his drawing of Amy , and poor Amy had the biggest hairdo in the whole wide world .
I told this student of mine to give her a nice hairstyle , but did he listen to me ? No, .. he did not and all he said was that this was his impression of Amy ... Huumph !!!!! Okay you win and teacher loose !!!!
That was not all untill another student showed me his drawing and Amy had no nose and to which he proudly told me that this is just a drawing and that Amy is not real . THere he said it . Am I suppose to just sit and keep quiet ? Yes , I did . I loved what they drew , each one of them .
At this point , the only thing I can say is ; NO COMMENT , I REST MY CASE !!!
