C.I.N.T.A

Tanpa cinta, hidup tidak berseri.
Dengan cinta, hidup lebih bererti.

Betul ke?

Kid Is Sometimes Brutally Honest!

Anak sahabat saya (lelaki, 6 tahun) yang amat petah berbicara secara spontan bertanya.

"Kak Lin, Kak Lin tak ada suami kan?"

"Haaa...?" Terkejut.

"Cikgu XYZ tu tak ada isteri kan?"

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....?" Makin panjang.

"Kak Lin kahwin la dengan cikgu XYZ tu. Baru la dua-dua ada suami dan ada isteri."

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....?" Nganga dan tempik terus.

Kanak-kanak memang telus. Sangat. -.-"

Genius vs Berusaha

Allah tidak memandang betapa geniusnya kita, tetapi sudah pasti Allah akan hitung setiap usaha kita.
Orang yang berusaha, pasti tidak akan sia-sia.

Ayat yang sama saya ulang-ulang dalam dua kelas yang berbeza. 5 Farabi dan 5 Haytham. Tahun ini, mereka 60 orang adalah amanah buat saya dan saya tidak mahu mensia-siakannya.

Di samping pung-pang pung-pang HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O, tazkirah perlu diselit sepanjang masa. Bukan untuk mereka sahaja, tapi lebih peringatan untuk telinga yang paling dekat mendengar dengan mulut yang berkata-kata juga.

Semoga Allah permudahkan semuanya untuk tahun ini. Ameen.

No Longer English Teacher!

In the first place I'm still stuck with 2 English classes for this year.
And I accept it with all my heart that I still haven't chance to escape from it.
Whether I like it or not, it's my responsibility and I don't want to take it easy.
Then the offer comes.
I can drop my English classes.
The bonus comes with adding another Chemistry class, for form four.
But I've to take 2 Sejarah classes to be fair and square.
OK then.
I didn't take too much time to think.
For sure Sejarah is much easier to teach rather than English.
And Sejarah only has 3 periods per week.
Except for the never-ending-list of PBS evidence.
If I can work smart to cope with this, then everything will be well-organised.
So am no longer an English teacher.
An emotionally unstable English teacher.
I'm happier with this.
Thank you Allah for accepting my du'a.
Alhamdulillah.
Let's upgrade work quality, and avoid controversy.

Sketching 2013

Me, not really overwhelm welcoming 2013. It's just another normal day, which remind me that I've left my past so far behind me and never get to it back. Yet, in front of me, I am just shifting my life closer to its end, which I don't know when. So do you.


Tomorrow, 2013 school session will begin. And today the kids are coming back to the hostel, surely with overjoy feeling to meet friends and update this and that, to clear up new bed in new dorm, to find out where the new classroom is etc. Ah..memories. 10 years ago, back in 2003, I was really looking forward to go back to school, being a forth former - honeymoooooon! Yes I really had my honeymoon year back in 2003 till my results dropped down successfully, and a year later I was placed in the third class, instead of first as I was in before. So kids, no 'honeymoon year' term at all OK. Be consistent in study is much better.

So no special plan for this year, it's just the same as before. Except I'll keep praying to Allah, may He help and guide me in every single thing I do, may He give me strength to endure whatever hardship that will come through, may I be the one who always be grateful for everything I have, may I be the one who always willing to help others, may He give me strength to do more work for His deen, and errr...hoping for happier surprises this year..err..

Will get back to school tomorrow, no later than 7.20am this year - promise! I've ironed all my baju kurungs in wardrobe, tidy up my super messy desk in staffroom, clean up house in and out - ready for 2013. I know the work is getting tougher, but I just love the adrenaline rush of being busy in school.

I hope everyone, all my friends out there, have the best start of 2013 today insyaAllah. I want to work harder in a less controversial environment and keep my mouth shut from complaining this and that.

And I'm getting older this year, by the way.
