Help !! I am drowning

I have decided to go for swimming lessons and I managed to coax a few of my friends to join in this fun filled activity .We are very excited about it and we even found the IT swimming suit. But for now the standard frog suit will just have to do . Slow and steady we will swim . The reason we are going for swimming is according to my friend , who has done some research says ,that there would be a lot of cute men and the coach is something too !!!!!!

No, the real reason behind all of this is , we want to learn swimming as it is one of the most relaxing activity/sport , call it whatever you like .The other reason is everyone I practically know , knows how to swim and even if I followed them to the pool, I would just sit ........ at the baby pool !!! And also besides that, only the first quarter of my feet goes in . Once again I would start to envy those who could swim . Enough is enough it's high time that I took the tides , waves and all...

Aunty Janet Leoni And Aunty Violet

What does this two ladies have in common;

Very friendly,
prayerfull
strong willed

... and they were best of friends and still are up in heaven.

Let's start with aunt Janet . Aunt janet passed away peacefully in February the 22 nd if I am not mistaken. She was a nice lady . She never forgot our birthdays and one time when I was about to go to work , the phone rang . I remember, it was 6.30 am. My mum picked up the phone and it was Aunt Janet , wishing my mum happy birthday , mum and dad again for thier anniversary and me my birthday . She never failed to touch our hearts on our birthdays.
Then one day , my mum receives a call from her and she wants to know if my mum knew an oldie hit .. it was those one hit wonder tunes and the next thing we knew , they were singing to each other over the phone ... hmm ... she was trully blessed and loved by everyone who knew her .... on the day she passed on , she looked so peaceful. Before she passed away , her dear son told her this ,'Don't worry about me , go if you must'. To everyone , big or small it,they knew her as Nanny . it will always be nanny ...


Aunty Violet -- Dear Aunt Violet were opposite neighbors with Aunt Janet . They became friends and Aunt Violet would always visit her . They would talk and talk . Aunty Violet was a strong willed person and she kept her family together and she did it !! Aunty Violet may be tough but she is a soft spoken person by nature . Each time we would take her to church and rosary sessions.Her grandchildren loved her very much .

She passed on the 1st of June . We were saddened by the news but let's put it this way, she is in a happier place. I remember that she would always share what she has with others and those are the values that she holds very dear . She would occasionally call my mum for a chat and we do try to visit her when we can . The last visit was last year , it was some where around Christmas. We talked , made her laugh .
Her daughter told me that her mother had to go because her husband Michael is calling for her. Uncle Michael is another story all togehter and I just want to say that it has been an honor knowing fine people like them . It was truuly a pleasure being friends with them... may their souls rest in peace .

Mistakes

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

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

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


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

WHat am I saying ?

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

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


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


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

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


That was then .....


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

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

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

i push myself because.....

i like to simply do it .

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

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

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

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

i cannot count on others,

i am the most important being in the universe,

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

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


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

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

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


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


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


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

Reverse

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


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

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

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


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

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