PMR 2013

I had been in this Chinese High School for 5 days of examination and these were few things I have learnt through my observation.

1. They do no have any cleaners. Each morning before class, during recess, and after class, the representatives of class will bring down their dustbin to the dumping area. And the school compound is very clean too.

2. Since they do not have cleaners to swipe the corridor and stairs, someone has to do it. Yes. Every morning before the school starts,  I can see some of the students swipe along the corridor, as well as the stairs. I think this is the coolest thing ever. It is sad enough because while the students here manage their own litter, at our normal school, some inconsiderate parents are complaining during the Parents Teachers Meeting. They say, they do not send their children to pick rubbish. I was like whaaatttt! Something is wrong with the parents I would say. 

3. I think 99% of the students are taking bus to school. During peak hours, I could not see the normal traffic jam that I would see in every school. More than 50 buses will be lining up and unloading the students each morning on the school compound. Less traffic congestion, and of course towards greener environment. Sometimes, I feel like I am in a tourist attraction spot as there are so many yellow buses!

4. They use different kind of short music to replace the bell. The music is different for each session - the morning bell, the interclass bell, the recess bell and the end of the school bell. The music is quite nice and joyful, and I am sure students will open their eyes if they are sleepy in the middle of the class. Hahaha. The best music I would choose is the recess music. It is the one you hear when the Paddle Pop ice cream uncle comes to your neighbourhood. Yes, that cute and loud music. Isnt that cute enough?

I think I have more on the list, but I could not remember what. I love to see different practices of different school. Who knows I might use it later in the future. Like I have been always tell Noha, I want to have my own school, with my own practise of teaching, and of course not just focusing on academic, with my own selections of teachers. Hahaha. Dream big people, dream big!

Aprilicious 2014

Assalamualaikum people. It has been almost four months since the last post. Life has been easier, and of course tougher due to stuff at work. Being me, it took me quite some time to blend in a new place. May Allah eases everything and I take it as a challenge to myself. I have been too pampered in my comfort zone so yeah. Before I forgot, I would love to jot down few things that happened within this four months of my new adventure of life - as a wife, as a daughter, as a new teacher and as a normal human being. January 1. On the very first day of the year, we had challenged ourselves to go on hiking up to Bukit Tabur. Well, we did not plan that. We just wanted to joinour photographer friend, Syib to take pictures of the new year. He did not tell us the height and the condition of the peak though. Put the blame on us, who were too lazy to google up and read something about it. We were like, emm sounds as easy as Broga Hill, so why not? So yeah, we woke up at 2.30 a.m and met Syib and an...

Cikgu Elun?

Assalamualaikum The kid:what is rumah panjang, kak elun? Me: err..its like a row of houses..long houses..where more than 40 families live under the same roof..but then they have divider for each house..we can find it in Sabah or Sarawak, but not in Semenanjung The kid: What is Sabah, kak elun? *cane nk jawab ek* Me:err..its ok..one day, I will bring the Malaysia map and we will learn some places in Malaysia, ok? Well, that was part of the conversation we had today. I have to teach Bahasa Melayu to this eight year old kid. I would say his mother tongue is New Zealand English because he was born here, in Kiwi land. Since then, he went back to Malaysia just for a few times. So, it is understandable if he could not speak malay as the other malay kids at his age.Its quite fun though, because usually you learn english and have to translate it to malay in order to make you understand. But, in this situation, I have to translate the Malay word to the English word. Its like the other way around...

5 things I do remember about my past Ramadhans

Assalamualaikum people Ramadhan 1425 @ October 2005 1. The kind hearted mix Maori-Pakeha makcik Dewan Makan would make my food ready for both breaking fast and sahur. 2. Sometimes, Kak Lane would fetch me at hostel and she would cook great dishes and we ate together with Syed as well 3. If there was no invitation from Kak Lane, Syed, Abg Ziad or Kak Pica, yes, I would sahur, buka puasa and terawih alone..yes people, alone, in Room 48 of Moginie Hall 4. I hardly cried because I was counting days to go home on the 5 th of Syawal, right after my final exams. Yes, we did have exams on Hari Raya Pertama. 5. It was hard and quite challenging as people around you did not fast. Not many Moslems around, Malaysians laaaagi la takde. But, Alhamdulillah, it was such a beautiful memory and hey, I did survived! Ramadhan 1426 @ October 2006 1. I was not alone anymore!!! There were 8 of us berbuka puasa bersama –...
