Crazy or just eight CRAZYnights!

It has nothing to do with the movie , Eight Crazy Nights , featuring my good friend Adam Sandler . I feel it's like eight crazy nights, because I have been working non stop .. this is crazy and mind you just a few days ago no , no three weeks ago , I was telling the whole wide world , that I'd rather spend time working than sitting at home ....



.....and now it's plain crazy ... so there I was at work , working and working and I just really can't wait to crash ... okay easier said than done ... there is something that I need to do before I really crash my brains out . Why is it that I have to make sure that everything is perfect ? Virgo habits I suppose .....

Today in school ,
I sat till I hurt and there I was trying to talk to my asst. principal , and all i got was a blank stare from her .. we did not sit down to talk till about 3 pm ...

Tomorrow is a meeting with the teachers , and there I go again .. bla .. bla .. bla .. like as if they will listen to me .

Hey , wait a minute , I am the boss so they have to listen to me !!!!! Yay !!

How Should I do this ?

It has come to my attention .. that a certain someone has ...................................................................................... I am leaving a blank .... but why even bother to post right , I mean I have to get it out of my chest .. Okay if this does not make any sense to all of you , it's okay .. however it will to me ..

I can say it's after Christmas and all , but then you have to go and handle this delicate situation .. every pair of eyes are on me .. Say the wrong thing . I am dead , say the right thing , I will be dead as well ..... I know it's hard to say the least .

This I got to figure out , as I blog my heart starts to beat and I have not taken any action yet , now why is that ?

Cruel , I am already feeling it .. It's like rubbing salt to the wound . Yes, in the spirit of Christmas . Isn't it suppose to a time of giving and humbling oneself ? It soes not seem so .

I know I have to pray tonight for guidence ..

Nervous

This is it . I tell you boy, have I been so nervous . I prayed for this day would never come . It has arrived .. 8 days ago and mind you , I was too nervous to even blog . I panicked . I took a deep breath and told myself that I can do this .

So , what have I learned for the past 8 days ? I learned how to count , write vouchers , talk to parents , handled difficult parents and the list goes on .

At times , I am so afraid and I find myself shivering ..but that's normal according to some . Some even said said that it's like riding a bike ... Hah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is just so much to do .... How ?

So I decided to get organized , eventhough my class looks like a hurricane went through .. I am hanging on .... then , I have people counting on me , decisions to make and take . Why ? Well it's because I am the choosen one .....

It's a lot to bear but i will hang on .....

This Christmas

With the tree up and all , I have not had a breather . Not because we were so busy baking it was me working 247 in school and it has only been 8 days .. straight days .. I really need space .. aiyo , baru 8 hari into the job ...

Anyway as usual everything in my life should go with a prayer .. even when I am engaged with a parent , I still take time to ask God to gouide me . So far he has doen a good job and seriously I should give HIM a clap ..


So this year will be Seeking Jesus Through The Family ... it's not outdated yet ( the tag line ) however , we have come to a point that this year is for the family or should I say familia . Thing is we always celebrate with others , where we invite friends over . We were thinking .. why not for this year and the years to come , let us celebrate within the family .

I guess it would be more meaningful . Just us , talk , laugh and enjoy the celebration and the season as a family .

Why ?

I was wondering and pondering as to why I have this feeling in my heart .. like a tug that will not go away . I mean I am never quick to judge .. but I just can't seem to figure out this person . I try hard and I asked Jesus to let me see him in others but for this one person ,it's not working at all .


I try , I say please , let me see you in others .. In others I can but why not this person ? I think I am trying too hard . I should let it go and let the feeling of being able to talk to this person comes naturally .

No , it's not about hate . Nothing about that at all . Why am I so impossible ? Christmas is just around the corner , should i try again to be humble ? I just don't know the answer . Perhaps only time will tell .

HATE is a little seed that stays inside you . It eats you a little by little and then whole however ,LOVE is universal , when it stays in you , it will overcome HATE and then we will be WHOLE again .

The fIRST sTEP

Today was my first step .... no , actually it was yesterday .. so yesterday that I felt quite nervous .. Yesterday was my first step into running the school and it's operation ..It took me awile to sink in what I was going through ..

I seriously could not have done it without all those beautiful angels around me . One angel in particular is leavng me for good and she is going to France ... Gosh , it was just like yesterday when she told us of her plans and there I was thinking , it's okay because we have a long way to go ... there will be months before December finally pops up and it's here now and I just don't want it to be here but I cannot help it at all .


With all of the sleepless night just thinking of handling all of the oprations .. made me very nervous .. but I prayed that today and everyday will be okay for all of us ... and to my angel .... thank you for your kindness ... like I say it's a rare gift .

I already miss you eventhough your flight to France will be on Friday .. How come all the good people have to go away ..


I guess it's okay it's either we all will visit her in France or we will just wait for her to come ... home.

Finally , my first steps have been easy , and today and for all of the days , I promise to be a good principal , a friend , an enemy , a listener and above all a friend who listens ....

Phoneme Awareness ..or Teaching Awareness

That was where I spent my 10 long days to begin with .. Well I am such a kaypoh and I just can't sit still .. Actually I signed up for the SEED Programme , organized by the Scholastic people and I know for a fact that this will definately be a boring post , but who cares anyway right ?

As long as I blog .. So let me begin from the beginning , we received the training brochure early and somewhere and I actually forgot ... but never mind .. I was telling a friend of mine how good it would be if I just signed up for the SEED Programme for 10 whole days and at the end of this block training , I will receive a certificate .


My friend .. agreed to go with me . God bless her . Because I was actually lonely and I hate to be alone in a room full of other stranger teachers . At this point we still do not know the meaning of the SEED programme but we went anyway ....
We talked about it and we were saying to each other that this might just be for us because we felt a bit lagged .... so maybe .. just maybe it would turn out to be a refreshers course or something and yes we would get to pick out some usefull tips for the class ..

As on day one ,as we got there , .. we were so rajin ... we parked the cars at the KTM Sungai Buloh and made our way towards Central K.L. For me it was like one huge lesson in life as I have never used that mode of transport .

I was excited , new journey and all .. even in the rain , we rolled up our jeans , bought the ticket just to get there .. day one finally seeped into day five and I tell you , I hit the sack like a log . It was a toll on both of us ..

We hung on .. we learned , we processed every data that we could into the brain . It was so fine until.............................

We noticed that there were these group of people , you see they were so smart .. they get in at 9 am .. mark the attendance for the day ... stay up to 11 am and then after lunch , you just don't see them .. one had the nerve to even go back halfway during a group presentation and they just went ....

I mean , we were like , come on , we come as far as Shah Alam , in the rain , not a minute late , always on time , ever ready to learn and here ,we get this ? .... so with this kind of attitude .... okay I do not have to say more ...

Consider this ;

Quality teachers , quality teaching , quality time .

As far as I am concerned I want to be a quality , teacher , to teach with quality and use quality time to teach... okay I am rambling on ..... again another question to ponder ;

Would I hire teachers who do not possses any of what I have just mentioned ?

The answer to that will be ; NOPE , in a hearbeat ...

And NOPE begins with the letter N and the phonic sound for the letter N is nnnnnn . Okay now you try to say it nnnnnnnnnnn , nnnnnn , NOPE .. see you're getting it right ... now let's try to segment the sound .. N/O/P/E .

Do you know other words that begin with the letter N , ...nnnnn .

Very good .

What is SEED .. it is simply . Scholastic Early English Develpoment .. see we are good ....

From the seed , it grows into a beautiful plant with buds and flowers and strong roots .. beautiful .

i dont care but i'd be lying ..

I don't care anymore is what I tell myself . It's hurting to hear from others about you and I don't even know . I don't care now . We know so little and yet we are related . I just don't care anymore .... yeah call it emo but it's what I go through when I hear others speak of you and I never knew it .

It hurts that we are close and yet so far apart . I don't care and I don't wanna try hard . I will let it be ... it's not that I don't respect you . You mean a lot to me . It's okay Ijust don't care . Not even a meaningful conversation and there I go and spoil it all . Enough said , I don't care ..

Why ? Has it been so , tell me , why ?

What happen ? All I can say is it's me and not you . It's just pain hard .. Is it that I don't understand ? Or perhaps I am just shallow for you .. Jealous ? Never ..

Okay , I will lay off , I will keep quiet ... Just be true to yourself and express yourself .

Quiet , quiet .Shhhh , Shhh

Quiet , quiet shhhh... shhhhh !!!!!!!!
It's very quiet .
No more screaming;
No more yells;
No more 'I hate yous"
All is very quiet .

Quiet , quiet , shhhhhh .. shhhhh !!!!
No more banging on the table ;
No more squeals of laughter;
No more saying ' Teacher , he hit me.'


Quiet , quiet , shhhhh .. shhhhh !!!!
No more fuss;
No more buzz;
No more anything for now it's quiet .

The Ride .. of my life

So it has been that .... since I was so into learning new things , I got my friend J to sign up for what was to come .. Let's start from the beginning ..


Both J and I were actually looking into some courses that might just catch our eye . We found one and the price was also right and .. we are allowed to pay in installment basis .. With the payments out of our hair ..... thus our long awaited journey began .

See, we have been getting up like 5 in the morning just so that we could get the first ride from the KTM station to town ... the first day was very exciting for me ... not for J .. for me because it was my first ride with KTM and hence the ever loving LRT which we have come to love ..

It was dark when we arrived there at the KTM station .. yeah real jakun la .. We got on the train and everyting smelled nice , fresh and cool ... Me being me, I followed J like a lost puppy however , after the 10 days of intensive training ... not the course mind you ... it's intensive training , training me to get the KTM train and make the connecting ride to Pasar Seni , I will be a certified traveller .. minus the certificate ..

That is okay too .. I was having fun and enjoying the rides untill that day . That day was the saddest day for us . We got on the KTM to get backt to Sg. Buloh and boy , were we upset , it's okay too right .. We got out of the coah and we smelled .... I will not elaborate okay , you guys know what I am talking about ..

No ammount of perfume could get rid of the smell on me .. I had 3 showers yup 3 just to get rid of it ... well welcome to the real world ...

The New ONe

In my wildest dreams , I never thought that one day I would be a principal . All my life I worked as a teacher and being a principal was only for people who were smart , elegant , qualified and I was never one of those .

I have no idea as to where I am leading myelf or even for the teachers who are under my charge . However , I have come to meet some nice teachers along the way and they have been nice towards me .... I guess I need a chance to proove to myself and others who are depending heavily on me .

I plan to take one day at a time and make mistakes , after all I am only human .. and all of these would not have been possible without the Almighty above . I asked for a small sign and he choosed to show me the big picture .

It is official now , I have no mixed feelings about anything .. I just don't know why and I am not even freaking out . I don't know what will I face next year but all I do no is there are people depending on me and I cannot let them down .. So for 2010.. watch out here I come !!

School's Out

So here is the thing .. for eleven months , I have been asking myself this ; will I see the last day of the schooling session ? Yes and Yes .. Okay that is great .. YOu know how some kids just try to drive you up the wall and you may feel that you may never want to come down form that wall ?

Well , as of yesterday those kids are finally leaving me ... You heard right , LEAVING ME ... So do I miss them ? Wait ............... yes .............. and ................ no !!!!! Kidding !!!

Take R for example ; and here how the conversation went ,
ME : R , you are finally leaving me .. ( me smiling , feeling on top of the world )
R : Quiet ,however in her mind , this was what she was thinking ( yeah it's great , leaving , having a looser teacher like you !!)
Me : R , I will miss you too , it has been a great year and we got on so well ....
R: In your dreams , teacher , in your dreams !!!!!!!!

Okay R , I have been behind your back and watching you like a hawk .. and I will miss you no matter what .. and for the last time class ,

'Thank you children ',

'Thank you teacher Audra , bye bye teacher Audra .. see you on Monday ... '

'There's no more Monday children , you're leaving me .. go give your new teachers headache now !'

Like I said , it was the best year ever , and I will miss all of you ...
Till then my babaies ... good luck ..

Work N moere work .. which is ?

Most would say that it is good to keep busy but then again .. being a teacher , what kind of busy do I have to be busy with ? I mean , I am just a kindy teacher and being a kindy teacher , you just do simple work and sing songs ..

Not anymore ... being a teacher has eveloved ... yup . Yesterday I spent a whole day in Putra Jaya and like one big jakun , that was my first trip ... with all the oohhsss and ahhhhss coming from me , I was pretty impressed but after the taklimat I just wasn't .

My mood was not there and after the taklimat , my mood just went out of the window for good .... that was just a tiny bit .. the journey back to school was like forever .... I miss my students . Before my friend could actually stop the car , I was already out ...

I missed them so much even I was only away for a few hours .. and today we had another meeting to attend to and I was kinda sad that I could not be with them again ... to which Miss Smarty pants said this to me , " Teacher , kalau lah saya tau teacher ada meeting , saya takkan datang la teacher ". I was so sad , I mean she had a point .. But i told her I will make it up to them .... tomorrow

So if this is not work then what ?

salam salam, kelam -kabut

You know , when in your mind you have everything worked out and then when the moment arrives you get all kelam kabut ? Now , why does thid just happens to me ? I bet it's just me while everyone else just breezes through ...

It's always me , and no one else . So , how do I get rid of it ? Maybe I would just have to climb the highest mountain or just sing ' Climb Every Mountain ', from the one hit wonder movie .... what's it called ? JAndrews starred in it ...... yeah Sound Of MUsic .

But I guess it's just one of a kind type of kelam kabut la ... so as of today , I will fervently say a prayer before I do anything ... amen.


Okay let's now talk about , it's raining men .. How nice right ? So will I be kelam kabut when it rains men ? I mean cat and dogs never drop from the sky when it rains cats and dogs and yes , it's just a saying .

the new ostrich in class

Yup , we have a pet and it's an ostrich . Oh , it's huge .. and it's shy .. So why do I have an ostrich in my class ?

Today was a funny day , as usual .. I am so popular that I often have to make rounds to the other side of the building .. the admin building . And there I was , trying to do Pemahaman with a bunch of six year olds and I had difficulty in fahaming the story . It was a simple story -- Buah Durian .

My throat hurts , it feels like a thousand knives going through it .. my nose was runny , I was cranky and I just WANTED TO GO HOME , but I can't because my dear friend was not feeling well , so that was why I was in her class. Oh , but they were good . As I tried to explain the menaing ' King Of Fruit ' , smarty pants insisted that I stopped whatever that I was saying because he wanted to go to the toilet .

To the toilet he did go and I carried on .. that wasn't so hard was it ?

Lo and behold , when I went back to class, R was standing outside the class .. Hmmmmmm , here we go again . I found out that R decided to be an ostrich today . SHe felt big and tall ( which she wasn't at all !!!) and she decided to put herself into a pair of ostrich legs ... no ,we don't have a pair of ostrich legs .. she wanted to feel how was it like, putting her head into a hole , like what an ostrich does ..


She found the perfect object .. mana ada lubang la .... She found a dustbin and in went her head and when my poor friend saw this , she freaked out and asked R to stand outside the classroom till I arrived .

R , R , what should do with you ? THis is not all ..... according to my sources , R ate papers also !! OKay R , after you eat your noodles perhaps I could interest you with the house specialty ..... paper soup , with a dash of pepper , some cilantro and sprigs of scallion and they are on the house !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lambat " Loading"

I just don't understand how some people lambat loading to whatever that they have to think about or do .... I mean it's like this people, but correct me if I am wrong here .. The brain is only 3lbs and yet we walk and hang down our head like as if it , the brain weighs at least 3 kilos!!!!


Okay, here is the truth and I am sure you may have encountered it before . Now , I am not saying that I am a genius when it comes to listening and understanding . I too had my fair share of lambat loading as I was growing up , believe me when I tell you ..

In a meeting , or any meeting , I am talking generally about meetings and later you will see the connection of those who does lambat loading . It is okay to lambat loading when you are young but as you progress, we somehow or rather get rid of the lambat loading skills .. It's a darn good skill.. actually !!!!!!!!!!!!

During meetings ,I see many nodding their heads and it's not just a nod but many nods and one just have to look at those nodding thier heads would come to a conclusion ,that these people understands everything..

Not everything entirely .. too good to be true , right after a meeting and the moment you are out of the meeting room , here comes Bonita or Lolita , asking you ; "Eh, did you understand what was being said ?" I mean .. Whoa ........................ back up ! See , after everything they don't get it
So how long would a person "get it ?" Ah ... this is the lambat loading la I am speaking about .. nod , nod , nod your head till you also pening ...

After seven weeks they finally surface and say , " Oh , is that what you were trying to tell me ?"

Just don't do it , just 'Get it'...................... people .

'Teacher, R called me buntut !!!!!!!!!!

This is bad ..... really bad .. I mean I have been telling them stories with moral values in them and this is how they repay me .... seriously .. each time I would say or ask , can we do this or say this to a friend ? Nooooooooooooooooo , teacher .. See how good my students are .


This ' buntut ' incident happened when I went over to the other building to send some books and I told them to be queit but no, R .... she just had to go and open her big mouth and call
her friend 'buntut'. I told R , ' That's it ... young lady , I will personally make sure that you will get a teacher like a harimau and then you will know how kind I have been towards you .' No R being R , she would just stare at you and defy you .. hell , her eyes seem to say , ' Go, ahead .. see if I'm bothered .' Jeeez , sungguh mengjengkelkan .....

She is not afraid of threats , say all you have to and the next minute she's off again .... like last week I told her to hand the concert invitation to her parents .. she had other ideas , she left it behind and when her friend told me about it , to which he found it , there at the back of the evvelop was the beautiful drawing by none other than R herself , were two girls, with the most prettiest swimming suit . I mean the girl can really draw .. I'll give her that ...


And that time when I told the class to simply draw a pokok , and she comes up to me and ask ,' Teacher , banana tree can or not ?' Hmmmmm ........... very crative .. but why R you love to torture me ? Please tell me ... like I always tell her , 'R , I don't want to have a daughter like you .' And ...... and do you know what she does when I tell her that ? She would give me a big beautiful smile ..... very nice .


Oh , and she love D to bits too .. I guess being neighbours just goes to show that one day she might even end up marrying D ... like I told D the other day , 'D, don't you ever , ever marry R cos she is a messy girl .'

Did I tell you that R was very quick with her hand ? One day , I just could not believe my eyes .. I happen to see actually ...I do not know what D said to her but her hand just went smack right across D's head .. I was like ................... I called her over and I asked her why did she do that .. she just kept quiet .. see what I have to put up with ..


R , stop being a drama queen and get a real life ok .... R , I hope you wil meet someone badder ... than you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kali

H : ' Cikgu , saya dah pandai hafal kali saya , mak saya kata saya mesti pandai.
Me : Bagus . Awak dah hafal sampai kali berapa ?'
H : 'Saya dah boleh hafal kali 2 .'
Me : ' Kalau cikgu tanya , boleh tak awak jawap?'
H : 'Boleh .'
Me : Hmmmm .... 2 x 2 berapa ?'
H : ( very confidently ) enam cikgu '!

What did we do today class ?

Well , end of the year is coming and yes we are rushing .... hurry , hurry let's get it over with and pray tell what did we do today class ? NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup , see nothing .... so nice .. It was such a nice day and we did nothing .. Why I can't even remember what I said to my students and I was not even bothered . I mean why worry right ?

I have given and taught them everything ... so now is the time to let loose , let down your hair and open the door to freedom and noise !!

This whole week was like a huge pasar malam gone wrong in class ... they were up and down . I just told them to carry on ...

This is the time , to get jiggy with the kids . Concert is over and what more can a teacher ask for?

Kaler - Kaler in my MInd...

Hmmm...... it's the end of the year and yes this where my kaler - kaler journey begins .. okay .. it's nice to see my shelves are empty .. of books .. then there is the filing of books .. kacang ... I sat earlier to blog about something but I was not sure where the post that I was about to blog was leading to .. having to think how to end my post , I deleted the whole thing ..


Right now everyone and I mean everyone right up to the kids even we teachers are getting antsier by the minute .... with the hols just round the corner , are we worried that we have to work through December ? Nooooooooooooooooooo you see , even with that we are already planning ... see, that is the beauty .. it's ok even if will only be a week but plan is plan right ?


My kaler - kaler pencils has gone short and today I was locked out of my classroom .. I don't know which genius did that .. or maybe there is someone who wants to sabo me .... it could be one of my students !!!!

I was not worried because I have the keys to the classroom and .. mind you as I got into my class I could'nt find my pencils ... hmmm ..... now how could that be ? Anyway , found it in the computer room .. wanna sabo me again ah ?

So my class was like a wild typhoon and we had to reshoot our class group photo because the photograper was such a clown that the shot tak jadi ..... Cameraman potong gaji ah !!!!!

It was easy getting them to pun on their graduation robes however the hardest part was to get them to sit still and pandang depan dan senyum ...... they were like .... ( the kids ) , 'Okay one more shot , one , two , three ..... they were saying what ever he( the camera man ) was saying and they were having a whale of a time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh , then it just got better and better , some wore slippers and we had to borrow shoes . They even had the cheek to tell me that the borrowed shoes were not to their taste .. Jeeezzz I mean c'mon y'all ...

In the end we had one big happy smilling class -- THE GRADS , CLASS OF 2009 ..
Sorry la , no photos to show :(

Blood is THICKER than water

What I am about to post is just something from the mind and it has nothing to do with anyone ... Like they say or as they seem to say blood is thicker than water ...

To me , it means a lot when they say blood is thicker than water . So what is the defination here ? I am simply guessing that it is a bond between sibling(s) and no matter what, these sibling must understand each other the most .

Why the most ? Because they live together and they get through thick and thin together and that is why the understanding works stronger in that circle of siblings ...

Hold on . .. give me a minute okay ..It's like this ,I do not expect my friends to understand me at all even for the reasons that I stand for ... because my friends don't live with me .. they only see me for a short period of time or they either work with me ..

Blood is thicker than water also could mean defending one another and protecting too ... I grew up believeing that no matter what, since blood is thicker that water , your brother or your sister would come and save you .. yes save / help etc...

But after , thinking for like a million years and into the wawasan thingy .. I seem sadly not to agree that blood is thicker than water .. it has now come to .. sink or swim you're on your own .. okay it's a little one sided conversation here .. but I seem to think so ..

Does this mean that I would crawl into a deep dark hole and die all by myself ? No , I get up and get stronger by the minute . I do not go down without a fight . It's alright . I pick myself up , don't depend on anyone and move along .. until I can and I know that I can .

Why , because the need to do it lies it me and so I have to put all distractions aside and focus the One thing that I really need to do . And before anyone says it ...


I have lost my believe if anyone were to say Blood is definately ticker than water . No , I am not upset , I got past over it a long time ago and now I LIVE IN HIS LIGHT .

Today

Today I woke up late and the best part is I am on leave ...... after the concert do ..I mean it's not that I get to wake up early ever so often .. but today was just nice .... and even with the brids chirpping outside my window sill , I dozed off ...

For now I am feeling fresh but I would still and need to get back to work tomorrow ... Yup some say I do not know how to enjoy a day without thinking of work .. what else is there for me to think off besides work ?

Hey ! I work and you guys work too .. the only kelainan is that I don't have kids and a husband to fuss over with .. so chill out guys ..

Just a thought to ponder .. it's for me .. I know it''s today but today I will ask this question for my for myself and to myself .... the question is ;
Do I want to give up on my freedom and state of loneliness ?

Now, that is hard to answer at the moment because I am certainly not sure of it yet ... it's either yes or no . Okay forget the question and just get on for today ..


All I know is I am truly blessed , with all the small trimmings of life and right now I am about to kick in and head for the bed .. see it's nap time for me ... maybe I will ask that question when I am about eighty ... like in a gazillion years from now ... nite y'all

To Taze or Not to

So ,the concert went well and it was because of ME !!!! NO , way heck !!! The team did the work and I was not even nervous ... che wah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing that made me go crazy and ga ga over was how those so tak dengar parents , refused to squat at the front of the stage and .. mind .... you the poor camera man trying to get a good shot .. I was there telling like it was for more than 5 times .... JEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ , I mean c'mon y'all ...

Yeah it's very exciting to see your kid performing and all ... they looked so pretty and handsome but work with us here people !!!!!

However , there is only one thing to do .... should I just get a tazer and taze the living daylights out of them ? Oh , I filpped up alright and there my friend was going , waving all the way just to get my attention .... but sadly, to which I did not but I corrected the error and then it went on like a pair of skates on ice ....


So what about the tazer ? Should I get one with a higher voltage ?

Gimmie a man

Okay , so my blog tittle is not as the the same as what my friend from unleashing drama posted however it's pretty darm close .. she goes on to explain how when in school , she had the hots for a certain kinda guy in her tak sedar diri kinda phase ... as she moved along and got older by an inch and still in her tak sedar diri state , she had also had the hots for a guy ...

And .. I must say that her ending is so good , she simply said , 'send me a guy '. Anyway it's not what she said or did not say but I told her don't say guy .. say men ... see not in singular form but plural ....a lecturer of mine gave me this easy formula to find the right man ...... according to my sister it' sounds sick hehehe not really but just do the math and think about it ... it's pretty simple ...

Hey you ! yeah you if you don't read my blog then don't balme me okay ...

Here is what you do .. yes the fomula ;

Know 5 men /friends etc ..
Be friends with all of them ;
Drop 2 and be friends with the 3 ,
Out of the 3 be friends with the 2 and MARRY 1

There, how's that ? It's okay to friend 10 men and then you drop them as you please till you get one ... happy trying gals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All tired out

If I were to say that I am all maxed out then you people might think that I may have overspent my credit card .... but I don't have one and I do not intend to have one ....... period !!!

Today was like one huge of craziness in school .. I mean , last year we took our class photos and I was not even tired ... anyway it was just one of those crazy days ...

My whole body ached with pain ... okay I guess I have to go find the minyak panas ... today , back to today again .... we strictly said , uniform , shoes and socks , but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo they have to come in with slippers and sports wear .. I mean can they ( the parents ) read or cannot read ?

Oh just think about the 101 excuses they give and also please do think of the 101 answers that we reply hmmm........ Have you actually seen my message book ? It's filled with messages to the brim and we always give the parents enough time to read and sign ... but again noooooooooooo their signatures just so mahal .... Five minutes is all we ask ..

So what did we do ? We borrowed shoes and uniforms from the next class .. Well what to do , we aim to please everyone but ourselves ....this is my point of view and my feeling .. no la not to tembak but future parents out there .. know your roles first and then act upon it .... wisely and justly ..

And to those ..... whom never fail to ask , please continue asking .. find out for info and be glad for it as we are just here to serve you ...

So what's up for tomorrow ?

I will not think of tomorrow as I definately feel like crashing right now but have to tahan as I have a class tonight ..

Berkhidmat Untuk Negara .....

HOw Do you Think It will go ?

Hmmmm.......... I wish it would go just past zooooooooooooommmmmm!!!!!!!!!! and finish it , get it over iwith .. For the moment my tummy seems to be okay .. yesterday and today; I spent my day in APIIT Smart School .. Once again I had the opportunity ( hope the word was spelled correctly ) to be the emcee once again .. Well what to do , when you are so good and people look up to you to save the day !!!!!!!! Well I can only sigh and wished that it was ever so true ..


Here is the thing , I pray daily and in my prayers I never forget to mention that I may be given the confidence to stand and deliver my goods . Okay here is another thing , I mean why can't other teachers do it ? It's simple .. giving birth to a child is hard and tiring .. Fair enough , I do not know what giving birth is like but I sure do know that standing up on that huge big stage is simpler ... Let's face it all you have to do it stand and yak away .....


Okay , it's like everything is so muzzled up in your head and you hear voices .. not I am not crazy ... The first time , for me was being an emcee was during sports day , I can say it went pretty well . So why am I rumbling ? Like some would say that I want people to kesian me . Ya right .


All I have to be is the glue that binds everything together .. I asked a mother of four to be the next emcee and she said that she had a weak heart . Frankly speaking people with weak heart don't do teaching ... LOgic ?

Talk about logic .... well I could go on . But let me be the saving grace of the event ... AHEM!!!!

Ah Choo!!

My Ah Choo is just an Ah Choo.... not a boy nor a girl ............. well , for one Ah Choo has been part of my life since I was a little girl .... little did I know that Ah Choo followed me everywhere that I went and right through college ..!!! Bummer , I know but you see Ah Choo , just refused to leave me alone ... Ah CHoo thought it was simple and cool to tag along even though I said NO and mind you it was a big NO -NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ah Choo must love me too much to let me go and so one fine day I told Ah Choo that it's okay to fellow but keep a distance and don't bother me too much .. Hmmmm ..... easier said then done .. For , no matter what I said or did , I would have Ah Choo by my side almost everyday . How do I get rid of Ah Choo ?

Suggestions please ,

An Idea came to me in a dream one day . I dreamt that I was being free of Ah Choo .. and the solution was simple .... A bottlet of Vitamin C 1000MG should do the trick !!! I told Ah Choo what I was going to do that day , and Ah Choo was so sad ...

I told Ah Choo thatI had to get well . It hurt when I go Ah Choo and Ah Choo knows it too .. So what am I suppose to do ? After much pleading AhChoo said it was ok though for it to dissappear awhile ....

And dissappear Ah Choo did , but Ah Choo said that he would be paying me a little visit sometime soon ... Not so soon okay Ah Choo .... you know I still love ya !!!!!

Duit Raya .

Yes ,let's talk about duit Raya . Today one of my students decided to give the whole class diut Raya .. I was on duty and when I got in , everyone was so excited and I was like , OK ..... !!! So to set things right , I had to ask the boy if he was very sure about giving the whole class duit Raya and he said YES .

Next step , I also had to make sure that he just did not run into his parents room to just take the money and that was it .. I collected back all the Raya packets and you should have just seen their faces , it was like as if I just snatched away their best candies !!!!!!!!!!!

I had to make sure right ?

They were going on and on ;"hey, thats mine .!" Well yeah technically it's theirs but I still had to make sure .That's my job . But I promised them that when this matter is settled, meaning that I will have to phone up the parents to get confirmation , I would give them back their Raya packets .


There were a few nods and some agreable sounds . It was like those kinda answers when you go for a PTA meeting !
They waited while I made the call . I hung up.

Then I told them that they will get the Raya packets ONLY IF they colored , wrote , sat , and obeyed that I would give it to them ....

I know a bit too much right ?But they knew that I was just chuggin thier chains, so to speak !!! I called the boy up to the front to distribute the raya packets . They had to wish him first . I can tell you, that boy felt like a Tan Sri today .

Back To Reality hu , hu , hu ,

With the Raya hols over now , I am so sad to say that everything goes back to normal , starting MOnday . The plus side of things are ; I will still have many absentees ... whythat's because they ate too much of Raya cookies and they will be recovering fom a sore throat or something else all together !!!

But , alas; we have to work , no more rest and we have to end the year with a Bang! Chang! or even a Clang ! Would nicely do !!!!

So it's time to head back to reality and get those kids to work , work ,and more work !!!!! Sigh !!! .
On the other hand think of all the cookies that I will be receiveing from the kids !!!!! YUmmmm !!!
So what is the plan for MOnday besides scanning for fever and sore throats ?

I will have to just wait and see !!

'Move it , move it private "!!!!

Myna And MY mum

Today was all sorts actually . We sat down to say the rosary and half way through it , we heard two myna birds fighting .. the best part was we left all of our windows open to let some air in .


I mean , they were fighting and pecking , actually one of them was and the other one just stood by our window sill and did nothing .

From the shadows , we could see the action ; the pecking and the other one retreating into our room . What a noise it made and we could not say our prayers.

We finished our rosary and still those two would'nt let up . If only we knew what they were arguing about . My mum said she wanted to continue her prayers and so we left her to it ..

Within a second minute flat , I could hear my mum shouting for my dad .. lo and behold and guess what , the injured myna bird was in the room and it walked over and stood right on top of my mum's head ..

Dad tried to shoo it away and still it went onto my mum's head ...anyway my dad managed to shoo it out and as for mum she said that it was the Holy Spirit in myna bird form ..okay mum we believe you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did The BIG BAD WOLF Say To Red Riding Hood ?

It was something that I posted in my Face Book and I did not expect this reply ; It came from a friend of mine . "Hey I like your hood . where did you get it from ? Is it from channel or Prada ?

Most of the time I try to get my friends to give me 'minute responses ' like this . It's just something that I like to read .

Yeah, it's from a fairy tale and anyone could possibly see that .It's just that I need some laughter and fun in my life and I am glad that some of my friends really take time to humor me .


To all of my friends out there , it does not matter if you wear a Prada or not , thanks for being good sports . A hug is coming your way .. :)

Eat and Sleep

Well , that is what I did . I went to my aunt's place for Raya and came home to take a nap ..... and today I will be going to my cousin's place for dinner and I have already had my nap to begin with .

Luckily they all live close by so no need to travel that much . Met some of my aunts and cousins . Had a nice time chatting away . It's just nice to see that all of us make time to get together during festivities . Everybody gathers round the table and have a nice meal .

Yesterday my sister was telling me how nice to see families get together . One big happy family . 1 Malaysia .. Being a Malaysian, we celebrate almost everything together . As for my sister , I know being miles away form home and it's only once a year that we get to see her and her family , she misses out on such gatherings ... but all the same we think of her and her family whenever the whole bunch of us gather .. well , perhaps next time she could join us here .

As for all of my cousin's children only two things ; no, not duit raya , but it's " Will you be wearing baju kurung to our house ?" or " Marilah buka puasa sama - sama " . Such sweet gestures .

Well , bless these children and I can't wait to meet up with them again to play fire crackers later .

shhhhh....

Yup , today being a holiday and all , it's very quiet . No sounds of children , running or laughing . It's okay actually .. but this lasts me for a day only and then I start to get bored .

I actually have something to type out . I have not decided if I should type it or just write . I think I will decide tomorrow . First I have to bake some cookies not for any one but for me to eat :)

Then later I just might sit down and get what ever that is I have to do done .

I went out today to get my birthday voucher from Jaya Jusco and boy, was I ever so sad .. I mean they just gave me this gift voucher with lots of things and most of them I don't even need it . The last time .. a few aeons ago they gave me a very good voucher .. and I could even buy a blouse with it.. forget about next year I tell you .

I know it's the thought that counts but at least give something that we could use .. sigh !!!! You don't always get what you want ....

Today was nothing ....

Today was nothing because as I set foot each time in school , I find myself to be everywhere , there is always something to get or do .. and I go Phew ... later .

Well see in the mornings and most of my mornings I have to ... rush .... rush for what ? See , it's like this , when I think that I can sit and just take a five , the next thing is , I will be up and about again .

Like today , we plan to have a half day in school on Friday , ( this is the part where I walk a lot ) . To have a half day , one must see the statistics . If it shows a certain percentage of children who will not be coming to school on a Friday ... then we have the green light to go ahead .

This does not take skills .. it's just , okay if you want it then you got it !!! Jokes aside , I was just kidding . So Friday is gonna be a half day and that is when we teachers jump for joy ...



P/S Yup , I walked a lot today and my feet hurts :(

Begin With The End In Mind

Seriously has anyone of you out there , tried to do something by ' bEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND ? Try it and you will be surpised ... okay here is the deal .. take for example ; Right , let's say that you want to bake a cake . But you are not a good baker . Then , you started to begin with the end in mind .. meaning , you pictured the finished product ; that is the cake -baked well . Now , that is in your mind .


Now , in order to get 'that ' cake to be like you imagined , what are the steps you need to take to get it done ? Yes , take the right steps and follow it well and in the end the cake will be baked just like how you imagined by beginning with the end in mind .

It's a neat trick and it really works . Think how I got through emceeing for the sports day , well I will be doing it again and it's all thatks to sean Covey and his dad .

I , The Timid

Ha see the tittle blog .... Gosh . Really , I was never the brave one at home or in school . And I hate to stand in front of a crowd to speak or to do anything that has to do with STANDING in front of a crowd .

Where did I get this from ? Don't know and won't tell either !!!!! I guess when you feel timid , people won't singlt you out . That was what I thought . Even in school it was just as it is . I would put my head down in class so teachers would not sort of pick me to do anything . It was with me for awhile this ........ I can't find the right word for it .

UNTIL.......................

Until I was chosen to be the emcee for the sports day and that wasn't enough I am now once again chosen to be the emcee again for this year's concert ... okay , okay here I go again ... but then again if I did not take that stand , the first step to do it I never would have done it right ?


And then that one fine day my principal came to see me and this was what she said ;

P : I need to tell you something .
A: What ?
P: There is some gllitch .... and we do not have an emcee for our concert day .
A: Why , what happened to the teacher that was selected to do it ?
P: Ahhhh ... hmmm .. welll .....
A: Okay no need to crack your head over it , I will emcee for us .
P: Can ah .....?
A: Sure why not .. I mean .... oh , I need someone to be with my kids .
P: Done , I will do it for you ...

Pay close attention to the statement " I WILL EMCEE FOR US '. I did not think , I just blurt it out , so no regrets and I can't back out ... now I have to be the emcee for two Saturdays and guess what ? I have already prepared on paper what to say ....

P/s At this point I am okay wait till ................... I'll be FINE !!!

We won

Well it's good news . My dad won eight movie passes from The Power Of 9 competition , held by The Star .

Not too long ago , a certain someone said that he had enough with competitions and it did nothing good for him .. he refused to get involed in the competition .So we girls thought this year might just be the lucky year for us , so we decided to give it a go .

This certain someone of ours did nothing to help except to post them of course .. hehe .... still unsure of himself we let him be .

Oh but no . ! He dicided to get on the horse's saddle once again . He took charge . He spend all the weekdays cutting , glueing , trimming you name it he did it ... and today .... he actually won !!! Hmm what's next we asked him ?

'THE CAR ' " I can almost see it now ." he said. Okay dad we wish you all the luck ... big or small you are still wonderful to have around .... :)

How it went so far.....

Well today we have some minor changes however , and here it comes ( drum roll please ) it went very nicely and smoothly .. I was so happy . There I was thinking that they can't follow what I wanted and boy was wrong .

But after changing a few steps here and there my dance looked better .. tonight I shall sleep with a huge smile across my pretty face .. Sigh !!!!!

As I promised my class that there will be rewards if ... only if they performed well for me . I promised them some sweets and guess what , the sweets are still in class ,unopened . HMmmm perhaps tomorrow I shall give them what I owe .

There's a cake ...

As I was about to sign out .. which I actually did , I saw a cake . It's at the section where you go and sign in ... or ....

No , yes , hey that's a cake I tell ya !! It has a candle on it .. I mean , I was like sure , someone may have added the cake there or since it was my birthday last week ............ so yea , a cake is cool .

Since I did not cut one ..at least I know someone out there cares enough to add the cake ..:)

Audition 101

Okay for starters , I gotta tell you , I was pretty nervous . Yeah , I have done this like a zillion times , over and over again .

TRUST , that's the word . You gotta trust the children . They know what they are doing and yes I flip up and they go "Teacher , wrong la .. not like that .. you did like this first ". Okay , but I do not feel shy or small when my students correct me infront of other children or teachers .

I mean c'mon let's face it ..when they correct you , it means that they are paying attention to what you do and that is just simply great .

So how did the audition go ? Wonderful , with only minor corrections . I can live with that .

Hmmm ... now that the audition is done , tomorrow's big task is to correct it ...

Macam - Macam Aznil and mY DAD !!

My dad does not speak malay quite well and he normally would use Bahasa Pasar but he gets by . At times he would tell me to help him out , if he does not understand .

He proudly tells us that his Bahasa Malaysia has improved over the years . Mum and me would just go yeah right ! We try not sound so big shot about our bahasa too .

THere is one thing that my dad really likes to watch and that is Macam - Macam Aznil !! FOr a man who speaks Bahasa Pasar , he really enjoys the show . The moment it's on , he starts to laugh ... . Okay ,I got to hand it to Aznil . I mean his show really brings people together and I must congratulate him because his show seems to get through to my dad .

Aznil you rock my dad's world ...

Broken Bridges

Today, I saw a movie tittled Broken Bridges . It's about a man who left his girlfriend behind and went away . Years later , he comes back and he finds out that he has a daughter .

What got to me was they way he tried to patch up not only his relationship with his girlfriend but also his daughter that he never knew he had.

Why am I talking abut this so suddenly ? Well , it's because in our lives , I am sure we had a fair share of broken bridges and how we tried to mend them along the way . It could have been with a brother or even a family memeber .

My mum once said to me that when we try to mend a broken bridge with a certain someone , start slow , force it and it never will be strong . I believed her . She used to tell me do it naturally . Then the bridge will be stronger that ever .

As the movie ended , I saw the father and daughter performed on stage and from that point onwards , she knew that the bridge between her and her dad was mended and she knew that she could count on him .

Like some of us too , as we mend bridges , we become closer and when we become closer , there is only one thing to do that is to have some soul food .

The ME Book

My dad bought a set of Encyclopedia , when I was quite young . The one tittle that I liked the most ,was The ME Book . Now , in this book , it tells the jouney of a baby growing up to be a toddler . I remember that I always used to take it and read . The illiustrations were just nice and beautiful as well.

The book has nothing to do with today's posting . I just wanted to use the tittle book for my posting today .

I remember back when I first got into teaching . I worked for a very strict principal . At that time I needed a job and so my friend introduced me to the school . I was very happy that at least I had a job . During that year , me dad lost his job and I just graduated . We were trying hard to make ends meet and that was when I decided to take on the teaching job.

My salary was nothing to shout about and I am even not ashamed to tell you . I was offered RM 400.00 per month . I took it . NO choice , We needed the money and for now that was enough but in my mind I knew I was under paid .

At the end of each month , I would give all of my salary to my mum . She seem to manage very well when it comes to the crunch . I made a pact with all the angels up in heaven and said that I will continue working and put food on the table and all I asked was courage and strength .

After a few months working , my boss decided to give me half a class . Meaning that a second session and I will have to work untill 2.30 pm . I accepted but my salary was not increased . I kept quiet and hung on .

The following year my salary increased by Rm 50.00 . I told myself that I have to have more value , means qualification . I needed that . I waited ....my salary increased every year until I was earning RM 800.00 . I was proud but the years of struggling on was tough . I just don't know how I hung on . It was God's grace .

Along my journey as a teacher , I came accross some wonderful parents . I had this boy in my class and he is a Down Syndrome child . It so happen that he came to me . But I'd like to think that GOd send him to me because I needed to be saved and I knew that this boy could save me . Our friendship grew and he began to trust me . He went whereever I went and he never trusted any of the teachers except me.

We ate together , we sheared food , I fed him , I cleaned him up when he messed up himself ... everything . Until one day I had a surprise , from his mother . She came up to me one day and told me to pass some money to the van driver and before I could walk away , she pressed an envelope in my hand . She said that this is for me . I took it witout thinking twice and all along I tought that it was a thank you note . I was wrong , inside the envelope was RM 200.00 . I did not know how to react because what I did was to just teach and be with the children.

So , I did the next best thing . I enrolled myself for an Early Childhood Programme . I paid my fees with the money . This went on for the next 2 years and I did tell his mother what I did with her money .

My salary was increased ... four figure . I gave thanks to GOD because without Him I am nothing . I worked for the school and after 13 years I got fed up and resigned . I went to Brunei . When I got back from Brunei I decided to join the school again .... that was not a clever move . I worked for another 2 years and then I quit for good .

It was high time that I moved along. I was not appreaciated and was overworked. Everything esle was the same . There was nothing that I could learn anymore and it was time for a change .
I made the right decision to leave and I am working in another school . The dramas would be there but I am up for it and I hope that next year will be better .

Perhaps a promotion ?

I Have Decided To Be An Organ Donor

It has been hagling at the back of my mind since I read an article about being a donor . I was impressed at what I read . Many of us out there are afraid of so many things. Even me . There were so many quetions in my mind too .

Let's face it , it is for a good cause and think how many people we can save . So I decided to pray about it .
My dad is quite open to such subjects and you can just go and talk to him and he will support you to the best that he can . As for my mum she is a little ...... unsure and afraid so I have to be carefull and with some positive explanation she would hear me out .

Here is another 'let's face it '. You are dead and buried in the ground . Why waste the organs and other tissues right ?

Okay, this in not going anywhere all I can say is I have decided ... and the registration form is beside me and all I have to do is fill in the details , sign it and post it ... and like the song goes .. sign , sealed , delivered ,my organs and tissues are yours ...........

Let's StarT wITH THE bIRTHDAY AND what I did not do ..

Okay let's do it .. It was my birthday and I was the happiest person in the whole wide world . I mean it's your birtyday and you must have some sort of suprises right ?....... well , not for some and me but it's okay .

So the day went well . Mum and dad gave me a kiss and off I went to work .. As I reached I was thinking of positive vibes . I am going to have a good day and It's okay too if my students flip up because it's my birthday .

I was actually looking forward to the" ANG POW ", now that's the best part . Each year , during our birthdays , my boss would get us a card and in that card...... lay the 'ANG POW' . It does not matter if the value is big or small but it's the thought that count the most . Like a little girl I squealed in delight as I have been waiting for it !!!!

As I reach home , it was quiet .. this is quite normal with only the three of us . I did not cut my birthday cake . To some , the may ask why but to me , being around the people I love is good enough . Yup I love cakes but I think the message that I got for my birthday was LOVE and the TOGETHERNESS that brings us together as a family .

Even for dinner , my mum made steam chicken with salted fish and that was the best dish on the table . It was so simple and yet it was meaningful for me . We enjoyed our dinner and I know there are many more to come and perhaps I will have a cake to cut next time .

to run or not to, and the bumpy ride

FOr starters I am not participating in a Marathon . It's just a saying that if everything goes as planned , I may have to run like hell !!!! That is another saying .

I am not thinking about it but just..... okay thinking about it . There you got me . So meaning that I have to perpare myself mentally and physically . How ?

Okay let's say that I pay close attention to each minute detail . Will that be considered as 'preparing myself mentally and physically '? I do not know . Everyone is afraid of the unknown . What can I do ? All I can say is PRAY and that whatever I have to face ,it will be accordingly and done in good faith .

Support is good too . I just hope they do ...

Our Day and The Three Stooges

We have been called the three stooges by friends and family alike . Why ? Because we seem to hang out together most of the time . I mean friends go like; how can you spend so much time with your parents ?

That is easy because we are a very close knit family and shopping with them is fun . If you don't believe me , got out with your parents . You will be surprised . But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO younger people of today feel that , this is not the most HIP thing to do .

Oh , what will my friends think if I went out with my parents ... I mean they are so old duh ! Yup ,that is what they will always say . One thing is for sure , always appreciate them the most when they are around and not when they are gone .

It has been quite special for me that I have the chance to always go out with my parents and each time we do have fun . Take for example like our birthdays . The 1st of Sept in my mum's birthday , the 2nd of Sept will be thier wedding anniversary and of course on the 3rd of Sept is mine .

It's not wierd at all but unique . Most friends ask if we ever do a special celebration . Our special celebration is thanking God for everyday of our lives . The simple things that we have achieve along the way and the people who made our journey special .

What's Up With Today ?

I can't feel the spirit of Merdeka . Oh well , I will just stop trying too hard !!!!! Today is quite cloudy . MUm is sewing something , dad is watering the plants and ME its always with the computer . How is that , that I never get tired of it ?

No don't answer that , I bet a million of us out there do the same . Okay but today .... what's up with today .. it's pretty quiet . Okay why bother . Quiet means good ... lot's of silence and shhhhhhh.................... around.

So ,actually I plan to have quiet day .. I just can't stand going here and there .. and I'll soon get cranky For those of you out there .... just go do what you have to and have fun doing it!!

The Connection and The Link

Well It's not a movie . I had loads of fun today . I was online with my sister and a cousin from Australia . I mean it's like this , the connection is between here , Brunei and Australia . As I was saying we girls lost touch with our cousins and we have found each other again .

So ,this time around we did not let him go . My sister is still online with him . I mean I felt happy because it has been a really long time and ......

Yup for once I am speechless . But one thing I know for sure is, if I ever go to Australia , I could visit him and his family . If I were to go to Pupua New Guinea , I could visit my aunt and uncle and a whole load of cousins .

It's nice having cousins around the globe .I found out things I never knew . Some were sad but most of the time .....

I just want to say that I am truly glad to have found them once again ..

Merdeka

Tomorrow is our Merdeka and this is how or rather what I plan to do ;
1 go for tuition
2 laze around
3 laze around and
4 also laze around !!


Okay it's Merdeka for crying out loud and this is the way I plan my day ? Well , it's not that bad actually . See like today ,I have a class to attend to but only for an hour $$$$$ ( Ka - chingggg!!! ) can you hear the sound ?

So what that is over , I will get home have lunch , read the newspapers , then it's sleepy time . Wake up , ah...... yes I have some mini popiahs to roll yum .... so good life is ... get them fried and my mum will be preparing ikan bilis fritters and that would be double yum and you can't have some !!!


My Merdeka wish ; is to live in harmony and peace . With all of us being 1 Malaysians , may the true spirit of oneness be with us and may the force be with you ..

Okay that's lame . I mean we all need THE FORCE .

Happy

Why because my mum went for a colonscopy and the test results was ok . Green light . She can eat anything .. Phew ! With that now we must make sure she recovers . That's easy , we will make her laugh everyday !!!

We went there , to the hospital quite early . The admin staff were very helpful . There were only 7 patients . They did not waste any time at all . One went in and the next and then it was my mum's turn and within 15 minutes , they wheeled her out .

As she was resting , there was this young gentleman . He was the last to show up . However , he had clod feet . Poor guy ... he was so nervous , the doctor had to talk to him and reassured him that everything will be fine .

Anyway when we left the hospital , this guy was still loitering around !!! Poor guy !!!

Friends

What are friends ? I know for a fact that a friend is someone who listens and hears every word that you have to say . A friend is also someone who defends you till the end . A friend understands and know the meaning of being a friend .


I have had wonderful friends throughout my life . They come in all kinds of sizes and shapes and they are still friends . They give you this wonderful feeling by just being around them . They welcome you with open arms and the best part is when friends get together .

They can be vey loud or silent and sometimes sad for a friend. They weave their stories together creating thight knit relationships . One that is not easy to break . They laugh with you and cry with you at the same time .


Friends come and go but best type of friends are those who call themselves the 'back yard ' friends . You see the 'back yard' friends are the ones who will always come to you be it for a bowl of sugar or for some milk .

When YOu Leave

All I can say is I don't want you to leave . It will be sellfish of me . Okay I get it that you have things to do and it's sudden . It's time for me now . It's my turn . I understand the stress so go and do what you have but you promised to be back .


I am sad ,well no . I don't know what or how I feel . All I know is , it's gonna get bumpy without you but I will try my best not to upset anyone and continue where you left off . I wish you the best . It has been very nice and I was really looking forward to more ,not only with you but with the rest as well.

It still feels sudden for me . I know that you must go . Go . Go and make a difference but remember your promise to be back . It's yours I will gladly give it back to you . Don't worry .

I know why and I know how but what would I do when I flip up ? You said that it was okay to flip up because we are only humans and you said it ; don't be too hard on yourself . Only when you settle things you'll be back . Right ?

House

First of all I am not talking about the movie HOUSE !! I would like to own one someday ---- a house . See . Well it does not sound easy . But we can dream about it can't we ?

Yes a house . I would like to buy a terrace house . I have one in mind but...... okay hold on . Why a terrace house ? For starters , I like terrace houses. Easy to upkeep . But then again location is another thing right ?

So for now I would not fret , I will just let it be for now but I still will dream about it tonight though!!!

I lost my post

I was writing and with some unlucky luck , I lost my post .. hua , hua hua ... I remembered how to get it back but alas faith has intervened and I lost it ....

It was not an important post actually . Or is every post important ? It actually depends on how you look at it .

Anyway , what was lost ..... don't regret . Right ? How true . Do you sometimes get the feeling that you actually find you are talking to yourself ? Well , I do .. Who wants to know right ? I guess it's a good form of theraphy because it de- stresses yourself .. well okay then . Let's just wait till tomorrow ....

jUst Tired

I had a tiring day today and my feet ached . I walked a lot today . Today I took 25 students to the Science Center and then off to Royal Selangor .

It was okay but the kids , I could see were quite restless . They were happy with their picnic in Titiwangsa and it brought many memories for me too by just being in Titiwangsa itself . It was the place where I took my ex students for walks , rides ..... 13 years ago . How time flies . As we journeyed along , I saw more new buildings .

At times I wished I could go back to that very moment but life has to go on . So after a brief visit to the Royal Selangor , we travelled through to get home . And as we travelled along , we came to Taman Seri Gombak . This place had been my home for 22 over years . I saw the roofs , they looked tired and old . I drank everything in .

Now , that I am home in Shah Alam , this is my new beginning . The old has gone and forgotten but during some quiet nights , I will lay down and think of the old memories ,

This Is where I Threw It Away For Good

Finally it has happen to me . nO more fuss or muss and I am happy to say that what ever is bothering me , I have thrown it far away for good . This is it , like or not I have to settle it on my own . No one is gonnna come and rescue me .


I don't need rescuing or saving I just need someone to talk to . This is easy I have a few friends whom I can count on ............ but it's just for awhile and that's okay too .

Why worry when I have a load of people who loves me and understands me . So today is the day I threw it away for good . No more complaints just throw it away and never look back . I am telling you right now that I am ready and good . By my actions they will know , what I am trying to say and mean . Yes , today is the day I threw everything away for good . No more sadness just happiness .

I can do this .

I have Been Thinking

I have been thinking loads lately and I found out that while thinking about it I had a headache !! So now ,no more thinking just relax and see how it goes . In fact , tomorrow I have to take a bunch of kids to the Science Center and to which , I don't know where is that !!!



From there , we will be going to the Royal Selangor and yup I may have the urge to buy something so again I was battling with myself , should I take some extra funds to go and buy a small something ? NOPE , no need . I mean what can you get for RM 20.00 ? NOTHING ... right .

IN all the business of everything I have to remember to take the first aid kit . Okay tomorrow I will have to go look , find and dig for it .

Then with everything over , it will be makan time . Where ? DON'T KNOW . Hope it's some fast food restaurant!!!!!

Okay I will try to enjoy plus with the mask covering my mouth , it also could mean one thing that is I don't have to talk with the mask on !!!! Oh, I should get my temp scanner , should'nt I ?

No , They Don't Understand

Look all I can say is, people don't understand what you want and what you mean to say . No, I am not some genius that I need to talk to people who are clever . I am not that . I simply just need someone to hear me out . You know some kind of someone who lends an ear to you .

Simply putting it ; I have had friends who says that they just don't know what I mean at times . Hello , go smell the roses . If you want me to speak to you in Mandarin ok , I can . In Bahasa also I can . In Portuguese ? Can . It's my mother tongue but Tamil cannot lah !!!!

What is with these people ah that they are so caught up with life that they just shut themselves to everyhting around them . I was like thinking , okay since blogging can't do much because I need feed back you see and blogging is just typing all the way but I changed my mind about blogging .

I think that from now on , I should just blog even though there will be no one to tell me what to do at least I get it out of my chest .

I just don't get it for the love of life how some people just block everything out . Are they dumb or just plain stupid ?

What Have I Been Up To ?

Well to tell you the truth , I have been so sick with many times . End of July was not the month for me . That alone ,I got sick 3 times and I just could not take it at all . And when I thought the worst was over , I got sick again . It was just terrible for me . I have swallowed countless of tablets and that made it worse and I felt like ..... I just can't discribe it .


I was on MC for 2 days and all I did was sleep , sleep and I could not even eat . But , everything came to an end when I started to get well . I was quite relieved . I just needed a hug . That was all and I could not even get that . The slightest touch was too painful for me , my bones was painful and I felt like I just got hit by a huge truck .

I was thinking of Michael Jackson and Yasmin Ahmad and I don't even know why . They keep popping up in my minds eye . Where is this leading to ? I just don't have the answers right now . I am sane not insane . That was what my fever did to me .

When it finally broke , I felt a sense of relief . I know for a fact that I could go back to work , carry on with life and so on . I hope this phase is over and that I would not be so sick anymore.

How Happy I am ..........

I lost my voice for a few days , it went away on a holiday without even inviting me !!!! I could not speak and my throat hurts . I wanted to sleep but I could not . All I felt like was just shutting everything out .

I even went to work , I had a slight fever and I was stubborn too when my friend asked me to go home and said that she would take care of my class . TO tell you the truth , I don't trust anyone with my class it has to be ME sending the kids off home !!!

So , with Friday along , I completely lost my voice , I kept quiet most of the time . My mum said that I should not talk and within the next minute she's asking questions and she expects an answer from me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday came and I was quiet even in church ... I could not participate in the mass . Okay , I thought to myself , I will just get home and rest ..
Sunday was a miracle for me . My voice .... came back not bad ... On Monday I started to speak like as if I was on a fast track ... well , I have to take it easy ...

This Was What I Did Yesterday

Well for starters , I don't normally shop like anything . It has really been a long time since I went shopping for myself . Normally it's for others or food for the house .

Okay seriously speaking , I shopped like a mad woman . I mean why do I need 4 pairs of jeans when 2 pairs would be enough right ? Well wrong .. it was going for Rm 15 and I had to have it . Besides we are allowed to wear jeans to work . Yay !!!

So , I went again yesterday to BU and bought 4 pairs !!!!!! 2 for me and another 2 for a friend . I was upset at first as I could not find them ... yup after spending a few minutes looking for them high and low .......... I found them .

It's was fun though plus I got a belt and a handbag for myself . Having said this , I don't think I will be shopping for awhile .... yet ..

I seriously think and say so

It's not much to read what I blog. I blog many things when I know that I should blog about my students however at times I need to blog about other things as well. For one, I have not been blogging like I used to but today ... is entirely something different .

Well our nation has been saddened once again with the passing of Yasmin Ahmad . As I say it once again , we have lost someone who was truly passionate and talented in what she does . I mean the ads just goes to show ... doesn't it ?

Where can you find an ad or a movie where everyone comes together ? Like I said and I agree with my friend when he said that she was the founder of 1 Malaysia . Well , think about it and I do hope that this concept of 1 Malaysia , will take flight and brings us closer as 1 NATION.

My so semangat class

I was so filled with semangat yesterday that I told the kids that we would go down to practice our dance . Before we began , I plugged in the CD players ( not one but two players and will tell you why as we go along ) .

So there I was this teacher , filled with greatness and all , got down to business with the kids . We tried recapping the "moves" and it went well . Each and everyone of them told me how they practiced in front of their parents ... it went on and on till .... I said , " okay let's do it and see how it goes .

Sadly la the player did not work and mind you ah not one okay but the two players did not work . I was like so bengang la . The best part is we have lots of wall sockets but none would work . I was heated up already by this time .

I took the kids upstairs , and we got back to work . Tomorrow I will go down again for a practice and this time I hope the players would work . If not ............................................................................................................................................................. bless us all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dance

It's here once again the dance of all time and that is our annual concert ... yikes !!!! . Okay let's not panic .. I am an experienced teacher I know dance moves like anyone else on the streets .... well ... that's a joke . here I go once again cracking every fibre of my being just to come up with some steps .


So far , everything has been working out according to plan . If not, I will just have to get back onto the dance floor !!!!!!!!
My students are not half as bad either , they seem to follow and get by . Of course ther are one or two who think that they can dance better than the rest !!!!!!!!!!!!

I am enjoying myself too and not to forget those sleepless nights I spent just to get those steps right.

And some even complain that my steps are lame ... well I just have to have a private word with these students !!!!!!!!!

Mister Six wanted to now why there was no music , and why on earth was he practising without any music. I told him that we were all danging without any music and that we will all go onto the stage and dance without any music !!!!!!!!!!


There , that got him !!!!! As bold as ever he held the cangkul with only one hand when I strictly told him to hold it with two hands !!!!!!!!!!

That boy is out to get me I tell you , well we will just have to wait and see won't we ?

Dreams and mimpi

At times I have funny dreams and I just about hate dreams that is finally unfolding , the alam clock starts to go . Jeez , and it's time for work . I hate that ... really do , I mean let's say if I am dreaming of something nice and in my mind , I just wanted to know what the ending would be and I have to get ready to get to work .

Then there are those scarry dreams with all the hantus trying to get you . Now , in order not to dream these hantu dreams , I just don't watch scarry movies . Easier said than done . I have had some funny dreams as well and when I wake up , I don't seem to understand these dreams . One thing for sure is at times I feel glad to get these dreams out of my head and face reality .

So what will I dream about tonight ? Well, I don't really know and I don't wanna find out !!!!

I Am Bored today

Yup I am bored to tears . Actually not in a way it's because I have done and pushed myself lately at work and since tomorrow is a Saturday, .............. I feel bored . My so call feel bored would probably end up with me taking a nap in the afternoon and then , it's wakey time , get ready , to go to church.

Once there , we will pray and then head back home . But that is beside the point . I am not making sense here but all the same at least I post something right ? Oh , then I was so fed up with FB because I can't sign in and that makes me a tad mad ...

Tad , wee so what right ? I mean how come with all the newest tricks and gadgets you still can't seem to log in .. how is this ? Somebody please tell me .

I could sleep under a small tree

Don't pay attention to the blog tittle , it will never make sense as what I am about to blog . So , have you tried sleeping under a small tree ? See , it doesn't make sense does it ? That's what I am on about. Things does not make any sense to anyone , to you or to me .

I am about to shout from that little tree , but it's only so little and how do you handle it ?I mean , deep so very down in your heart you know that you can do it and it's a spot on . Well , then on and on could I sleep under a small tree ?

So what would it be ? It's as simple as ABC go sleep under a small tree . Now , instead of sleeping under a small tree have you ever tried asking the cow to jump over the moon with you ? That would be something amazing and fantastic . And yeah .. like the cat and the fiddle . YUp it's taken from the ever famous nursery rhyme .

Let's face it what ever it is, if I could do all of those , I would in some nursery book !!!

So What Now ?

So what now ? with half of the year approaching and it's pretty soon , I might say . Well , I am enjoying work for one . It's something that I like and no I am not a workaholic .. what else is there to do ...

I am waiting for my concert CD to be ready and I gave it to be dubbed and I am still waiting for it . I have started some cool moves and I hope that the children could follow and yes I want nama too.
That's because I worked so hard .

Anyway I hope it will be a good year till the end ...

????

I have not blogged for the past few days and there is just one reason for it --- TIRED , I may have overdone things a bit and I felt the strain . Everything else my life seems to be okay at the moment and I really do not know when it will start to be hectic again .

Maybe it's the sun . It has been kinda sunny lately and dry as well and not to forget the bee hive in front of the school . Speaking about bee hives , the MBSA was suppose to tackle the problem however the bees seems to have left the coop . Yup, no bees to be seen anywhere .

We parked our cars this morning and to our surprise , no bees in plain sight ! Later a friend told us that the bees left the hive at 6 pm .......

I am still a little tired and sleepy right now .
Should just get to bed .

Melina

I was thinking . I mean I don't know Michael Jackson however I wrote about him and sadly enough I lost a dear friend Melina to cancer just two days ago and I did not even write or blogged about her . Some friend I am .

I met Melina ages ago when we were together in our caroling group . The thing about Melina was , she was petite and she had a big voice , she loved to laugh and she was a bubbly person .

I admire her will and courage because no matter what without fail , after work , she would take a bus to church for her choir practice . After the practice , friends would take her home . She loved to sing . This went on for a long time . What I knew about her personally was that she was single ... that was all . I don't know where is her hometown or who are her family members . All I knew was ,where ever I was, she was there be it for a rosary session or for some meetings in church.

Just two days ago I found out from a friend that she was from Ipoh and that she has only one sibling . See , I felt so sad because I never asked this when she was alive . I only knew so little about her .

I went to her house a few times and I remember clearly during one of the meetings held in her home , I opened her fridge to get something out and there in her fridge was a few bottles of facial cream.

Me : Melina why do you keep your facial cream in the fridge?
Melina : Then it will really be cold when I put it on my face ... ( she giggles ..)
Me : That's a good idea .

And guess what ? Now I keep my eyeliner in the fridge !!!! Don't ask but many have guessed . I picked this trick from her .

As I look at her picture the other day , I could hear her laughter so clearly in my mind. The way she spoke . I said my goodbyes to her even though I was unable to go for her funeral . But before I log off , another thing about Melina was --- her handbag . She has the most amazing stuff in that bag and if you feel unwell just open her handbag .From minyak angin to Panadol ... everything was in THAT BAG !!!!

Melina , we miss you , we wish you good journey and Rest In Peace .. dear friend .

Parent's Day

On a lighter note , today was our parent's day and it went so fine that I am so proud of myself . This is where I brag about myself............ I was better prepared and I knew what I wanted to say . I felt so glad that the parents are aware that their child has improved however some are sad over the fact that their former class teacher should have pushed them harder . Well in a positive kinda way .


But these kids are really special to me not only do I spend sleepless nights trying to figure them out but it's the space that I have created for these kids to be just ............................ kids . Plain and simple , we have forgotten ourselves, how to be childlike and it's not wrong . I mean there is nothing wrong if you were to walk into my class and find me on all fours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Someone has to be the grownup . In fact I have to be a grownup too but at times I refuse . That is because I just wanna have fun .

Okay back to the parent's day ---- It was a good day for us and I delivered what I had to and as they say it , it was signed , delivered and they are mine for the time being !!

Tribute

I guess I am a sucker when it comes to blogging even though no one ever read but it's okay . This place is just for me to let off some steam . It's a good bad , so it's okay.


Today in church we paid a tribute to Micheal Jackson . We were talking about healing and after the priest had finished , there was a presentation , "Heal The World". It was a very meaningful presentation for me and I was quite emotional .

I dared not look up to the OHP fearing that I may just break down . I am not so over the top crazy about Michael Jackson but it's just that the video was a meaningful one .

My classmate just told me that it was so hard for her to digest the fact that he is gone however she felt happy that she managed to catch a glimpse of him when he was in KL . Like I was telling myself it is time to let go and get by . And this is the last post that I will post about him , but I will still blog on and rock on .

WHat's The NEws?

Right , everyone , I mean everyone in the whole wide world will talk about the death of Michael Jackson . Well a world wide icon has gone ... so what is next or whom shall I ask will be the next icon ?

No and yes I am not and yes a fan .... hmm that does not make any sense at all . But one thing I know is I grew with the guy ..... yup through his songs . Let's face it , if you were to put his cd on, I am sure you will move your body . I mean it's like all of his songs are danceable . It is not like some , where you could only dace to a few tracks and that's it .

My sister has one of his earlier albums and that guy can really sing . I mean he has a good set of singing pipes !!!

At such a young age , his voice controll was good . Yup he will be greatly missed . So we will all be sad , but we shall overcome and he will never die beacuse as sure as the stars in heaven , I will tell my children about Michael Jackson .

Muzzy

Today I felt muzzy in school . I found myself walking in and out of the classroom . My head felt so heavy . I just want a quiet time out . But how ? I was waiting for my students to be accessed but that was a no show . Perhaps tomorrow .


I just need that quietness . A full minute should do the trick . Then I went to the office during my free period to check on some names . Correction of names to be typed onto the leaving certificates . With that done , I went back and got straight to work .

Not bad my student can read averagely and that pun a smile on my face . Tomorrow will be another day . THursday would just breeze through with a meeting at 1 pm . Meetings and more meetings ... hopefully I AM ABLE TO START MY CONCERT VERY SOON .

I am still feeling tired .....

Good News

I found my story The Tree . It popped up as I posted a new post . For that I am so pleased ..............................

Full Of Thoughts

Well firstly I lost my post . The story about the tree has gone missing and what am I going to do about it ? NOTHING.

MY head has been so full of thoughts lately . I can't seem to get them out . It's loaded not with work but a decision that I have to make if IT falls through . I can't seem to find anyone that I can talk to . I need someone who understands what I am trying to say however I have not found this person yet.

I need this someone to give me a hard kick , to actually say to me that I can do it . Deep down I know that I can .

It is nothing troubling, just letting it out . This someone that I need must be able to make me see the clear picture of everything .

Words have been inside my head for the past 2 weeks and no , I am not going crazy on anyone . It's so much of what if's ...... I need to find this someone whom I can trust and believe in .

It's a choice .. I hope a good one .... to make it a really good one.

Each time when I try to say the words , it just don't come out right . I need to put my finger on the dot but...................... where ?

This is what I will do , I will just let it be for now but deep down in my heart I know what I want .

As for this someone that I need , I may just have to find him somewhere else or perhaps another time.

The Tree

When we first moved to Seri Gombak , we had to locate the nearest church and the nearest that we got to was the St.JOseph's Sentul Church . Now , in the parking lot , stood a huge tree . It was the best tree that was ever planted there , It gave us ample of shade , green leaves and we had our breakfast sales under this huge tree.

It never failed year in year out ,thist tree was our landmark. If anyone wanted to visit the church , we would tell them to look out for a huge tree. We seem so comfortable having this tree around and legend has it that this tree is old . How old I just could'nt say .

As a little girl I was aware ofthis tree and it has heard many masses over the years . Now I know trees can't hear very well but I know this one did!!!! How I knew don't ask,but I just knew it ...
As we got older this tree too got older . It was time for us to move away and sadly enough I said goodbye to this tree as I just don't know when I will ever see it again ..


I went back a few times to visit and this was still there , standing strong and tall. It welcomed me with a wave !!!!

Today , I went for a wedding and as I entered the compound I was met by two huge cranes . I was crushed . I saw my once upon a time tree being cut down. It stood so proud showing us it's branches , trunk leaves and shoots. It's no more to be seen . Someone told me that this tree was 80 years old. What I heard next was even sadder. It seems that this tree was feeling not too good and on one Sunday morning, it's branches just gave way and thus it fell onto some cars parked below it. They tried to save this tree however ,the best solution to everything was to cut it down.

I said a peacefull goodbye and so did my friend . We shared a few memories and blew flying kisses at it .

Goodbye dear tree.

Today After a WEEK of school...

I must confess that I am tired after a week of school . With concert in October , for some it's a long way to go , but for me it's not !!! So here I am with many things in my head . Which should I do first ? Everything ? Well , if I had my way I would do everything at a go ... which could only mean one thing ... that is I have to say put in school and that will not do at all !!!!

Okay first things first , this weekend , I will be resting and celebrating father's day at home , which also reminds me that I have to go and get a cake . The coming week will not be a breeze however I am willing to make next week a good week . The coming weekend will be our much awaited parents day . All I need to do is talk and talk and talk !!! Here comes the best part, for lunch , we the teachers will be going to SHAN'S for lunch . Yum , yum and more yums to come.

Then, my dear student has gone to Bangkok and she will not be back till next week and I will be having a new student ..... arrghhh!!!! but I will prevail .. Then with all of these so called happenings , I will start my concert .

Please wish me luck . I need loads . Really I do ... hu ..hu... hu...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Word Bank

It all started , when I was thinking how I could zest up my class . I was trying to come up with ways .... you know to add more fun in the classroom . Actually the word bank activity has been around for ages . It is just that as teachers, we are sometimes too caught up in our work to spend some time with this activity . It is not new to me and why have I not thought of it before ?


Anyway better late than never right ? So with all the semangat in me , I asked the kids to just write out a word each . it could be anything .. however I had my doubts if they could give me a word . So I did the next best thing . Today we learned about Nouns , I wrote everything down and then I just told them to pick and write the word that they like.

It was time , then , to have our lucky- draw -word- for the day . I called the smallest child in my class. He came up shook the container and he picked the lucky word . I decided to write down the word and to my surprise , they managed to identify the word and they had so much fun . Oh, and the picker gets to glue the word on a manila card .

Surprise , surprise .. well I now have a new best friend and I can't wait to do it again .... it really helps and that really gets the children to spell and say out the word .

Okay you might ask , what is so special about it ? Well , it's not but it sure means a lot to these kids ..

Just so tired

I was so tired and I just need a few winks . The past few days has really been to just tiring . Like today I received a call from a parent saying that my student brought RM20.00 to school . So I went in to the class and I ask him where was the money and he denied 100% saying that he does not know where it is and he did not take it !!!

I told him to tell me truth but he still kept on insisting that he did not take it . Bless this child. As I was about to give up ( cos I was so darn tired ) , another boy said 'it's in his pocket teacher'. Okay busted, found the money and returned it to the mother .

Then I went to see my principal because she now wants me to be involved in the YOUNG LEARNERS CAMBRIDGE --- At this point of typing I can't seem to hold my head up !!!! So with the briefing and time table and planning we will begin soon and , and I have some reading to do , to familiar myself with the components and such , such and much , much more ..............

tHE dAY

Today is the day we started work . I did not dread the day because I knew I was ready . With 2 weeks of rest and all of my insides was shut down , it's time to awaken all of my senses and move ... Yup I like to move it ,move it .

Frankly speaking I can't stand that darn song . So why did I ever use that particular line then ?
School was so swell today , we got some reading done , subtraction done .. although some got lost along the way !!!!!!!!!! But they tried .

We are in the midst of creating this lovely craft . We plan to sell these crafts during our concert and with the money that we raise , it will be donated to charities .
I told my students that they have to do it with love .

Stage one has been completed and we have a few more stages to cover . Let's hope that everything will work out fine .... the art of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly enough I can't show you the finished work here :(

Sleepy

Sleepy cos it's quiet;
Sleepy cos I have nothing to do and think about ;
Sleepy cos tomorrow is a working day;
Sleepy cos I'm penniless;


Sleepy cos I can't touch my toes ;
Sleepy cos the a bee went flying by;
Sleepy cos I'm moody;
Sleepy cos the cat dragged in the trash;

Sleepy cos the next door neighbor roared ;
Sleepy cos I really have nothing to do at all;
Sleepy for I won't be for too long;
As the next day I would be sleepy all over again !!

Made Someone smile Today :)

That is what I like . TO put a smile on someone at least once a day . It's okay too if you can't . Anyway this person was quite stressed up . I don't know why . So I happen to read his thread and thought to myself , why not just try at least to put a smile on this person .


I did and it made me feel nice as well . In fact I was smiling too . What this world need is a lots and lots of smile . Enough of what is going on right now . A smile should do it . Okay here is the deal since I will be going for mass today , I will try to at least smile to those whom I meet . Does not matter weather I know the person or not . My job for today is ;SMILE 101 .

Easier said than done . A smile means a lot . A smile takes your troubles away . A smile means your being ; admired , appreciated , loved and cared .
