The Disappearing Act

It's none other by yours truly and it is not done by Houdini himself . Timing is everything . Have you ever thought that how nice it would be if you just disappeared for awhile ?
Yeah just some time to yourself without anyone looking for you . Maybe just a little corner for yourself where you can unwind and forget about everything just for a minute ?

How I love to do that .......... hey wait a minute of course I can . See ... I can cause I can and you can't !! Not fair ? Life is never fair . When someone tells you that life is too short , please do tell them to take another route them . Then you hear what is their answer is . Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm .

Back to where I was , and as I was saying I would love to disappear and what if I can't reappear ? Okay this is going no where and to all of you out there don't disappear too long , you will be missed and I can tell you that for sure !!

This Is The BesT Sooo Far

Well this is the best that I could do with my blog . I mean I wanted to get a new blog skin and then I found out that it was easier said then done. TO which I went to see if I could follow the tutorials that you tube offered . But.......................................... and more of it to come , I could not understand. No ,I understood but it was the clicking and copying and pasting that I hated . So okay I did the best next thing that I knew . As usual I went to picka new template in my blog and came up with this .

Yeah , Yeah , but it's better than nothing . I wanted to find something that is me or my students but I guess I will Just have to settle for this , for now till.................... I get bitten by the blog skin bug once again . I wanted something bright , I got it alright , no more hiding behind dark and gloomy colors . So you can see me for me all brightly lit ... in a manner of speaking not me la !!!! But my blog that is quite colorful and bright . As they say "may your days be merry and bright .'

My So Called Moments

My moments are quite simple nothing too loud or well , at least to say my so called moments are not the ones where for example, trying to hold the longest note in front of a crowd or you might just say something like where we stand up on a stage and everyone claps for a speech that you did so well.
Let's just say that whatever that you decide to do , even if the job is a simple one or a though one , you go through a moment and it really makes you feel good .

Like , take today for example , I was preparing a simple dictation for my class today and frankly speaking most of my students can't get it right . It's either they did not study for it or they were just too busy playing at home to even give it a thought . As I was writing , some of my students recognized a few words on the board .
I mean , it was like .... I was quite glad because I know for a fact that it has never been an easy task to get them to read and hearing them pronouncing these words made me feel so nice inside ; meaning that my teaching after all these months, has not gone down the drain !!!

Deep inside I felt nice and I knew it that I could not quit on my students . Let it be if others think that my class is the last class on earth . These children are here to learn . It is amazing what these children can do . They even correct me when I make a mistake and I don't feel taken aback at all . I wrote the wrong day today and a boy stood up and told me that .
It is a nice feeling .......... I like my moments with my children and they seem to amaze me.

A Giveaway to Pay-It-Forward

I found this great idea on my new friend,saving grace and wanted to pay it forward for this handmade giveaway activity that's going on in the blogosphere.

This is a free giveaway and everyone is encouraged to play - worldwide! It's open to everyone who reads my blog.

The first FIVE people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It will be done this year. (that's right, before December 31, 2009!)
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. Just because I cross stitch, doesn't necessarily mean that's what it will be (but it might!). I dabble in quite a few mediums. Who knows?
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. But I would never send something that I didn't like myself!

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and make the same offer to the first 5 people who respond on your blog entry, thereby continuing the fun! (Though you can keep it local if you want, I don't fear international postage!)

The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, will win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Sounds like fun, right? So, let's play!

I have copied this straight from Saving grace and I think it is a great idea! With my small number of blog readers at least I have until the end of the year to get 5 readers!

New , Baru , Biru what is the difference

Some would ask me outright if I prefer my morning students or the afternoon students that I teach. Well, if I were to say that one better than the other , then I better not teach . As always no two students are the same . That is the golden rule or rather not a rule but everyone in their right mind would say so .
To me , each child is different . Even each learning process is different . It's not an easy task but when you see determination in each of them , you feel that you don't mind going out on a limb for them ..................... that is what we teachers do . I feel proud with each of my students and each time when I get into class I try to make sure that as a teacher , I do my job well . Okay this is not about me , it's about the students that I teach . The great thing about these children are that they are forever so forgiving and they are so eager to learn .
It makes my job much easier as well when I see that they understand what I want from them and all the happy little things that they do for me . Be it a smile , a hug or even a simple drawing . It means a lot to me , to see my students happy and that the next day they come back for more adventures with me.

I an not your type ...

I am not your type for I am not your very average type;
I am not your type for I can't type twenty five words per minute ;
Hey wait a minute , if I am then not your type, then what kinda type should I be ?
I am not your type for I rather be the type that sits back and relax .

I am not your type for I don't feel that type .
I am not your type and so forget about the whole idea ;
I am not your type for things I can't seem to understand;
I am not your type for what ever type I could be.

It's rather strange to see what type I should be ;
I have no idea that a type should be................................ a word ?
It really does not make any sense to me ;
And I really have no idea to what kinda type that I should be .

Whistle WhileYou Work and The Swinging 60's .

Grace you already know this story but anyway I will still add it in . Ok now , our annual concert wil be in November , however , I was told to get the music ASAP and that the tailor will be coming next month to take the measurements for the kids . Now , what kind of music shall I choose ? Pray tell all I can say . My Irish dance was okay I was so pround of it !!! I worked tirelessly for it .
I did the next best thing , I prayed and asked for a sign . I mean yeah I am on my holiday and of course I can go jalan - jalan to look for and I also happen to know of a shop which sells good CD's ( the murah corner ). Then I started to panic . What if i can't find the music that I seek ? Or what if they don't like the music that I have choosen ? I found what I was looking for so one problem solved . Done.
Now comes the hard part . The designs for the costumes . AHA !! Since whiste while you work is an action song yours truly have to go and make cangkul and belive me it's kacang to make hehehhehh!!! Luckily Fe my cousin has the stuff to help me . I know that I will be having fun and I have roped in my mum to make the paper beads with me.I can forsee the end product and now it is time to make my teachers jealous hehehehehe ( just kidding )
