Crossing a path full of thorns, empty-handed.

FRIDAY - a FRI-YAY 25th August 2017 The second last Friday as a teacher. I felt a little spark of joy inside me realising the fact that the job is going to an end. yeeehee! Despite that, some part of me feels like I haven't give the best yet. I want to see the change, in manners and attitude. I should be the change. (But all I do is changing my mode thru the lessons every day)  I posted on Facebook about the nature of children that kids will always be kid. Though the life is dark, the past is darker and the surrounding people are influencing the badness, they are still innocent yet ignorant. They don't know things. The adult does. The horrendous stories I heard from the teachers made me more than grateful for growing up like none of them. I have parents to take care of me, I have a family that prioritizes education and love - a real family love. However, the children are growing up in a gloomy environment. Separating mom and dad, sexual harassments by their own bloo...

Not today, not today.

Hi peeps. :) I'm looking for some time to write about what others think about me. Some throwback of my graduation dinner memories and what Pharmacy School of IIUM shape me for being who am I today. There's so much to write about, so much to tell. The stories I told are for me to keep, for my generation to find out and for the history to be remembered and learned from. But that time seems to be a bit out of sight now so just wait for the post, randomly updated from time to time. Probably when I am unemployed, back. weehoo.

You're HIRED!

Yeah, hired! As a teacher. Wow. K. Here's how it happen. First, application. 1. Isi borang permohonan sebagai guru sandaran tidak terlatih (GSTT) di PPD (Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah) - this can be obtained by manually collecting it at the office or you can simply download it from the PPD's website. 2. Sediakan dokumen-dokumen yang diperlukan dan sahkan. Salinan kad pengenalan  Salinan sijil akademik (sijil SPM / ijazah / etc)  Salinan sijil lahir  3. Hantar borang yang lengkap beserta dokumen-dokumen tersebut ke pejabat PPD. (Hantar dengan doa doa sekali gaiss)  4. Tunggu panggilan temuduga.  Chronology of my case:  Ramadhan 2017 - application form submission  Post Syawal July 20th - interviewed and directly hired.  July 26th -  a substitute teacher. A cute one they said. ouch!   So yeah, 

Hai Cikgu!

Hello. :) As I am writing this, it was at twilight in the third week of me being a teacher. A substitute teacher. I was so delighted when I got the call for the job interview - it was unexpected and out of my field. Somehow, I was pretty much scared but at the same time excited to be back in school. I'd do it anyway. Bracing my unemployed self. In the first week, I'd say that the feeling is like being a shiny new toy. You're the attraction and every child that came passing by you try to look at your upper side of the left chest just to have a glance of your nametag. How I wish I was a lot taller then haha The awkwardness was so to the maximum level on the very first day. What am I supposed to say? How should I handle them? What should I do to make them listen or at least be quiet or a little less noisy? I stand confidently in front of 16 - 29 children each day but only Allah knows how nervous I am and how little I felt being around the children. I need to teach f...
