Mistakes

What I like about teaching is the mistakes that I have made along the way . Why ? I have 18 students in my class and each time when I write the wrong date or day , they will immediately correct me .

I do not know why , some teachers do like to be corrected by their students at all . I do not find it offensive , they are merely correcting you to make sure that you know what you are doing and it's okay .

I know some teachers would scold thier students for correcting them . I find this really dumb . Why ? Just because we are teachers , no one can correct us ? No , it's really okay . Poor kids get an earful if they were to correct their teachers .


When my students correct me, I feel proud , because I know that they are attentive in class . That is what I look for in a class . Not to get the first position in class but all the small little stuff.... I am sure you know what I mean .

WHat am I saying ?

I have always believed that God loves all of us for a reason and that ,HE is always right behind us to give us that extra push.

Eventhough, when I feel like giving up , HE would always be there for me,reaching out to me and ever ready to catch me when I fall. HE has been with me throught thick and thin and HIS love for all of us is universal.I believe that a good deed done will be repaid in full .


Blessings are abundant in my home. With the love of my parents for us girls, growing up has been very calm for me and my sister .We were taught to pray at a very young age. I remember slipping up my Hail Marys and that never stopped me . My mum would make it a point to pray the rosary every Sundays at home and , she would teach us how to say the rosary and even introduced to us new prayes and important ones as well.


We prayed as a family when ever we could , life has been very kind to us and it has brought us close together as a family. From there , we were taught to read the gospel readings , when we went round for rosaries , to other people's houses .

It was simple back then , and the youths in our time were very prayerfull too. We had our moments of parties too , but when it came to prayers , we were number one .


That was then .....


Now.... we do still say the rosary and my sister will say it with her family .We have been faitfull to the LORD .

The youths of today ;
Do not pray,
Do not bring rosary but instead count with their fingers when praying,
Shake legs when praying ,
Talk, giggle and shout when praying,
No respect for the prayer which has been taught to them,
Say prayers for the sake of saying it,
Wears bling blings and compare bling blings during prayer time,
Bring handphones along and leave in between prayers to answer a call,

So where do we go from here ?
It breaks my heart to see, but then again who am I to complain ......

i push myself because.....

i like to simply do it .

i just wanna show off to everyone that i can do it ,

i must prove to everyone that i live for pressure and i need to feel that rush surging through my body ,

i am insane and what ever i do , everyone must be aware of it ,

i am the only one who could do the job well ,

i cannot count on others,

i am the most important being in the universe,

i must always and always prove to others that i am right and the rightous will live long lives ,

i hate the fact that i have to redo and correct other people's mistakes ,


Okay , this is not a hate post or note , it is something just needs to be said . Why I push myself is because I need to simply test myself to just make sure that I can do it .

Api !!! Api!!! FIRE!!!!

Today being a public holiday and all,we decided to wake up late but instead,we woke up at 7 am . Used to it. Old habits die hard .


Mum made vege fritters,sat down to eat and me as usual with the computer . TMK was online, chatting and chatting away, we talked about baju kurung and how it would be nice if we could all wear it for the last day of school.


.............. suddenly api !!!!!!!!!!! api!!! ,'semua keluar'!!!!!!!!!!!!! So without telling TMK anything , I switched off everything and went down with my mum .Dad being dad , dia sudah turun mau pergi check on the situation.We went down , everyone was busy removing thier cars , children crying , waited abt 10 mins then the fire brigade arrived , then another one arrived after another ten minutes the third fire brigade came .


It seemed a gas cylinder exploded . Luckily no one was hurt.Everything is back to normal now , we stayed here for 4 years and this is the first time .First time for everything you might say ..

Reverse

Not reverse everything but this happpened as I was leaving to attend a principal's meeting.Thought I'd leave a little early and have a nice drive to BRP . With all of the oil tankers and huge lorries , wading inbetween my BMW!!!


So,as I was about to leave , I said goodbye to the kids and headed on to the next building where my car was parked. As I got there, a bunch of kids were waiting for thier transport .. not only that they stuck a sticker to my car , my car has become one of their playing objects... running aroung the car !!!

My teacher kindly open the gates so that I could reverse out my car and as I was about to enter ,into the car , this was what I heard ;

NSI : Eh , tr nak balik.
HR : Bukanlah , dia nak pergi meeting .


TR J : Okay , semua lalu , duduk sana tr Audra mahu keluar.

NSI to a friend : Cepat, awak , lalu nanti tr Audra reverse boleh mati kalau kena!!

Morning has broken and silence has gone

Nilly came to school today and she was not her usual self . She looked a little sad .Yesterday, I was told that her sister was stung by a jelly fish while having fun on a jet ski.

I could tell that she really cares for her sisiter,so I decided to ask her how was her sister doing ;


Me :Nilly , kakak awak sihat ke ?
N :Kakak saya kena sengat dengan obor - obor teacher .

She looked so sad.

Me :Macam mana dia kena ?
N :Entahlah , teacher dia main jet ski,tiba-tiba dia nangis, dia kata sakit.
mak saya cube rendamkan dia dalam satu pantai , teacher !!
ME : Ha, rendam ?
N :Ha, teacher ambulans dah standby .



.....and with that out from her mouth, she was her old self again .. Nilly will always be NIlly .

All Quiet Now

It was very quiet in school today because Nilly was absent and I am so used to having her prancing around in class . It was not the same and it did not feel right at all.

The worst is, today is exam week. I got down to business and told the kids that we were going to do our Cultural paper . That , was like kacang to them and they finished everything within 20 mins and then ..... they started to talk and soon the whole class sounded like a market !!!!

Soon it was time to do their math paper and I have been recapping with them the whole time and some even had the nerve to say how bored they were and that I should stop recapping altogehther because they know how to attempt the math activities . Fine ...


And suddenly;

OWS : Teacher , how to do ?
Me : What ?
OWS : How to do ?
Me : OWS , I have been teaching you for the past two weeks and you said nothing and
now, how to do ?
Me : That's it everyone zip your mouth and start doing your paper.


OWS was very sad . And I made DE cry in class today because she did not know how to do her addition within 50. But I helped her in the end .......

Well , more of it tomorrow .
