E learning assignment for my sec 1 classes: get 2 articles related to Internet for their expository essay.

This is what I got from my 1NA student.

Kelakar ke pe. Tak le angkat seh.

2 months of relief teaching and so far so good. Tons of markings but I enjoy doing what I am doing.

I love my students and if things go out of plan, I will need to stop teaching and I am really really going to miss them.

Friday is the judgement day of the year. Till then, we will see what's next for me.

If I open my eyes wide enough, I should be able to realise that they are many things that I should be thankful of. Alhamdullilah:)

Oral Topic: Kawan ketawa ramai, kawan menangis susah dicari.

I was asking the sec 3 student that was presenting what is the difference between "kawan" and "sahabat". A boy chipped in by saying "Allah cintakan kita bukan Allah sayangkan kita." I was stumped, so were the other students. He turned to me and went on.

"Ye lah, saya tanya Cikgu. Cikgu sayangkan saya atau cintakan saya?"

LOL. Funny guy.

Guys love soccer. Understatement. Guys LUST soccer. I never realise how mereka sehidup sejiwa dengan bola and soccermates till I observe my very own sec 2 students ran down from the 3rd floor to the courtyard to play soccer. Immediately after school some more. Wonder where they get the energy. I bet if they have 9 lives, they wouldn't mind sacrificing one of their lives by jumping from the 3rd floor so that they have 3 mins extra playing time.

I made 2 of my naughty students write reflection for disrupting the class. They were not able to finish it and so I made them finish it after class. Only because their other friends were playing already, the 2 wrote furiously to get it done. The more they hear their other friends playing, the more they keep prompting each other to do it faster.

The Malay Special Programme(MSP) students noticed that I keep wearing green though they only meet me twice.

"Cikgu, you like green right?"
"How you know?"
"Of course ah. Today you wear green. Your water bottle is green. The last time you relief my class, you wore green."

True lah, I can't help myself from buying green tops. To me green is striking hot. I do make a point though to get different shades of green so that my students will not think that Cikgu tak tukar baju!

Today was a freaking long day. 3 lessons back to back plus I had to cover 2 classes for a teacher.
Alot of marking to do but still, I kind of love my job. My job makes me learn to appreciate my weekend. So weekend and everything that comes with it, I LOVE YOU. (3

A year (or maybe less) of silence. Because I needed space. Because I needed to be away from you. Because I wasn't over you. Because you remind me of good memories that I could no longer ask for more. Because I wonder why is it easy for you to move on and why is it so hard for me to be just friends with you. I thought I am over you but why was I so bothered when a friend was talking about you. WHY?

I came to realise that hell, I am still not over you.

Then it is true that a heart doesn't break even.

They say bad things happen for a reason

But no wise words gonna stop me bleeding

Cos she moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks no it dont break even

-The Script

I got to be tough. I am going to let him be in my life, again. As friends if you want it that way. I foresee I am going to be jealous, hurt and maybe so resentful. I don't care because I want to force myself to be tough. I wouldn't want to flinch when they say anything about you. I want to just shrug it off and not be bothered at all.

And one day, I can sincerely thank you for making me stronger than I thought I could be. I am going to make that happen.

It is a comforting thought to think that He has better plans for me. At times, even if it is true, I don't think I deserve it. There is so much weakness in me and all I ever want now is His forgiveness. There are many things that I did that I am not proud of and if it had not been of the setback that I am facing, I would not have realised it.

Again, alhamdullilah. I am overwhelm with gratitude for the justifiable roller coaster ride. I will never know when it is going to end but it doesn't really matter anymore because I am no longer anticipating for it to end. Instead, I am learning to embrace every second of it, even when the ride gets a tad too nauseous. Like they said, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Izzah means kemuliaan dan kehormatan according to Kamus Dewan. I don't need to measure up to anyone but me. I want to continue striving to live up to my name; to be noble as I can be.

So now, turning 20, I am going to kick away the habit of waiting for changes and miracles to happen. Gonna make it happen, come what may insya'allah!

Relief teaching: So far so good, alhamdullilah.

Job is getting demanding but I am still loving my job, period. I love my cubicle very very much. It has excellent internet network. Thus, I get to catch up on my Desperate Housewive Season 5 during my free periods and after school. It is located at a corner of the staff room. Thus I get the privacy that I want. I can even camwhore there I tell you. It is located beside the pantry room, the exit door and the printing room. Thus enjoying the convenience that I need.

Along with that comes tons of work; markings, datelines and projects. Still, I love it. Maybe because I feel the boons outweigh the banes.

The permanent teacher who is taking over my place is a lucky man. For now, let me enjoy it.

And I hope you guys out there will have a great day ahead. I miss Ifah, Syaza, Fathin and Mimi. I am missing these busy people in my life. A call or a message from you guys could really make my day (:

It is high time I should start being thrifty and kick start the habit of saving.

Pa resigned last month to do what he longs to do and is now venturing his own business. I am proud that he is, at last, pursuing his dream but I have doubts that it is timely considering the economic meltdown that has affected his shares tremendously and since he is the breadwinner of the family, it affects the household income too. Nevertheless, I do admire how Pa took his chances by taking his leap of faith. He spent half of his life working so hard for his family and now it is only appropriate that he starts living his dream. Who knows if we would have problem making ends meet one day but we took our chances and we have no regrets of the choices we

made.

This too means that I need to be more independent, financially and help out with the household in anyway I could. I know the money that I earn is not for me alone and though I know how money tight I am going to be, I will carry on with my pursuit of getting a driving license before I hit the age of *ahem!*. I am pretty determine on that :)

So I have to keep reminding myself less spending on outings, clothes and what-have-you-got and more depositing into my piggy bank, insya'allah. Apart from getting a green piggy bank for myself, I would need family and friends who are supportive of my new resolution.

Yes, people, I am counting on you :)
