Sh*t happens for a reason. Kan?

Today, I have learned that it is not okay to just nod and agree with others.
I learned that everything is going the other way around, and the saying 'buat baik dibalas baik' no longer exists. (Well, there's an exception if the balasan baik is from Allah).
I also learned that there's a kind of virus, a very dangerous one, which has polluted people's way of treating another human for the sake of their personal benefit. And I wonder what kind of people will we have in the society in the years to come.
Nowadays, if a person is being too nice to others, she'll be called stupid, rather than being acknowledged for whatever good things she's done for others. Orang ambil kesempatan lagi ada lah! Grrr

The moral of the story is: Stop being too good to others. Being good is enough. Too good is too much! Hehe. The nicer way to say it is - Be moderate in whatever you do.

Happy

Happy fasting people. I'm sorry that I have to get this picture uploaded since its THE only picture I have, which portrays 'happy', literally. :P

Have a blessed Ramadhan. Insya Allah

Back to school

Quickies (bukan yang 8 tv punya)

I hate HATE my student ID number it's very difficult to remember.
I love TESL 5 (the students I'm tutoring) they're very nice and very nice. My vocab is limited, sorry.
I did my first M.Sc presentation it was great!
I missed undergrad life, I really do, I want to be the makcik kepoh I was back then and I also miss the other makcik kepohs.

I have a lot of assignments and most of them are journals/ articles I have no idea what to write about and the worst part is that I realize that procrastination is BAD but I procrastinate so that is the worst part. (Did I repeat the worst part twice? Okay I did)
I miss my friends I want to meet them but I always have something up during weekend and I'm not giving excuses, I promise it's not the "I'm busy,really-but- I can go out with my boyfriend pulak" excuse. I really am busy and I'm sorry for not being able to catch-up.

P.S: I need a break SOS

I need a haircut!

So mom promised me that she will cut my hair for me, but that's only after she attend classes on hair-cutting conducted by a person who's working with Wella. Okay I soooooo need a haircut because:

1. My hair is getting longer I can't stand it anymore.
2. I'm experiencing this sort of-psychological effect where I think that my head gets heavier.
3. I don't mind cutting my hair because I know that the hair will grow longer anyway.
4. I just need a haircut!

I surveyed some hairstyles I might want to propose to Kakak Amoi. I googled round face hairstyle and these are some which came out. (Okay, I know, xde kerja kan?)

#1

#2

#3

#4

Okay #1 and #4 would be possible only if I use the straightening iron everyday. #2 hm..curls would never look good on me because of the extra fat on my cheeks. Should I get my hair layered (#3) again? Hm, hm, hm.. I don't think so.

Okay I don't care what kind of hairstyle you'll end up with!! (Echoes of Mama's voice). Tee hee. I don't even know why I posted this in the first place. lol.

Have a great day peeps!

Hello, anyone there?

**Kris Allen - No boundaries

I'm sorry for the very long silence. So you've noticed that I don't write very often these days. Will you accept the lame 'I'm-too busy-as busy as a bee' excuse? Please do. Hehe. And I'm starting to feel like I don't know how to write anymore. (So this gonna be a very random 'just so u know-I'm still alive' update).

Life's treating me well. To a certain extent, I'm more than happy that the teaching practice has come to an end. The 3-friggin' months. I would say it was not that bad. And with the PERFECT ending, I couldn't feel any happier. So the undergrad life has ended and it's about time to move to a new chapter of formal education. I can't say another stage of life because that will lead to a whole different story if u know what I mean. Anyways, I'll pursue masters degree in UPM. And classes will start next week. I didn't have a lot of time deciding what to do, what programe should I take, what this and that. Yada yada yada. But life has to go on.

The GRF interview was very brief. (Sia2 saje ketakutan semalaman. Duh!). I've been offered to work with my former lecturer. Now I have to start reading the novels all over again. Lucky me, the summary and short notes are still there, so I hope those will prevent me from falling asleep after reading ONE page of those thick classic books. I hope I'll be able to finish all of them before the new semester starts. And start to plan what to teach. The challenge must be different, tutoring my very own juniors. But I hope I'll be fine.

I hope all of you are doing great, too!
Cheers! xoxo

P/s: Happy 54th birthday Ayah. You don't look 54. Not even close. Jeles!

My stress busters. What's yours?

1. Gossip Girl Series

2. Apple Crumble

3. Hot Chocolate

4. Chocolate Indulgence

(All pictures are google searched)

p/s: Trust me 1 & 2 would always make a perfect combination.

Part 1

I'd say the first week in school was OK. Teaching itself is not that tiring. I have no class to teach on Thursday but that officially means that I'll have to relief classes AND we had to stay back after the school session ends to attend activities from meetings, to briefings, to co-curricular activities, to Usrahs on Fridays (:P). Well I hope we'll survive the other 11 weeks. And oh, I'm teaching From 4. Just to share bits of what happened this week.

1. A class monitor decided to greet me "Assalamualaikum Sayang" when it was supposed to be CIKGU or TEACHER. But no worries his classmates didn't follow the lead.
   
2. A student proposed me in class. He asked me to give back his ring another 5 years. (Oh! I politely rejected his proposal).
   
3. My students have long names so I asked them to introduce themselves along with their nicknames. One boy said, "Nak panggil saya abang pn blh". (Eyewwww).
4. My guru pembimbing is a preggy mommy. And she's a very COLD person. :(
   
5. It's great that Ira and I are teaching only Form 4 and we get to do our lesson plans together. YAY! :)
6. A teacher asked us to help her out for her daughter's assignment. We gotta do her public speaking speech. (Part time job)
7. We're assigned to do the backdrop for Hari Anugerah Cemerlang.
   

Thats all for now. Will get back to all of yous next week.
Have fun people!

P/s: Sabtu pn kena pegi sekolah okkkay? :((
