Chicken

Just a short post since I'm too busy marking the pupil's exam paper and preparing for my kids' English Carnival for Pekan Nenas Zone Level. Well, we got number one for both story-telling level 1 and level 2 and number two for Public Speaking. Now I'm training my Spelling Bee team and since we're still new in this, an exposure for the kids are good enough. District Level, here we come!!!

During the exam, a conversation with my pupil is still making me laugh and smile. A pupil was absent the whole week so I asked her, more or less like this;

Me: Yasmin, Dian dah lama tak datang, dia pergi mana?
Pupil: Dia sakit, teacher.
Me: Sakit apa?
Pupil: Sakit 'CHICKEN CHOP'
Me: Awak ni biar betul, sakit lepas makan Chicken Chop?
Pupil: Ala... yang sakit banyak bintik merah tu... (sambil menggaru kepala)
Me: ROFLMAO - Chicken POX lah!

Kids, you just got to love them.

Enjoy your weekend everyone :D

It's gonna be a long weekend!!!

First and foremost, I wish for the best for my niece (my cousin's daughter), Kisha's heart operation that was done today. We need new generation who can become Aunty Dayah's back-up in the future, hehehe. She's a joyful and mighty flexible, 1 year old who I love to see rubbing her face with her stockinged feet. Pray for her, everyone.

Other than that, I've just finished my course at Naza Hotel on the buddy support. The hotel is good and one thing that I'm sure my dearest hubby heard already - I totally love the big shower head!!! Hehehe. I got a room facing The Zone and Selat Tebrau and well of course, I had to share it with my GPK. Sighs, I dunno why but since Kak Rubi handed the reign of KP to me this year, there's so many courses to attend and I have to go places. Well that's the job's 'perks' I guess.

It's gonna be a long weekend. Hubby's gotta work, and few more days to go before we get to meet again. Nothing much planned out for the weekend since I'm pretty much saving for the holiday. Where am I going? Well gotta wait and see, hehe. But still, I managed to get new ebooks online. No harm in buying books :D

Well I'm ranting and writing without any clear reason other than just for the sake of writing something. Anyway, I start to follow this season's of American Idol. My personal favourite - Allison, Danny and......... *drumroll* Anoop!!!! Thank goodness there's a final 13 or I would bawl seeing Anoop not getting a seat in final 12.

I'm drowsy and I'm writing nothing. Goodnight everyone and have a very good weekend.

Ho hum

I've left my blog for like... months? If it's a closet, I'm very sure that it is piled up with cobwebs, hehe. So actually nothing new with yours truly. School a.k.a work is fine, my hubby's fine ^_^ I'm fine, only that my nose is not.

I've been going back and forth to the Ontoro... Ontorinolaringology (dunno if I spelled that right since scientific terms boggles my head) short for ear,nose and throat department at HSA as I said in my previous post. Guess what? from being diagnosed with 'Acute Left Maxillary Sinusitis', I've been upgraded to 'Chronic Left Maxillary Sinusitis' (snickers) because there was no change at all from my first check. My last check, I became the living sample for medical students who were 'lucky' to see a case of good right nostril and bad left nostril. That was where the feeling of seeing a medical drama featuring interns real-life (sounds familliar?) only that there were no doctors to represent McDreamy and McSteamy, hahaha.

So I'm scheduled for a CT scan and medical review in April - yeah, that long since I went to the government hospital instead of a private one. Looking at the X-ray application form does freak me out. Tell me what "Plan for OP Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery", and having the head department become your doctor since the second visit, makes you feel? Having a flu now even make things worse and the scope checks... easy to say that I've never not cry everytime they inserted the scope in my nose to check the sinus.

It's rainy season now. Pupils did not miss their chance to play slide along the school corridor because of the rain puddle despite the warning from teachers. Nor did they managed to go to school with their shoes, only their flip flops because of the wet weather. Reminded me of a huge boy in year one who reminded us of a tortoise. He likes to play with his friends only that when he fell on his back - which is a lot - he never managed so far to get himself upright again without help from friend who are much smaller than him and the teachers. Poor kid.

It's Sunday noon now. Glad that Arashi's Believe PV is finally out. I need a song to get my mojo up, hehe.

Let's Read the Quran

I blog hopped from Sue's blog to Marina M's blog and I found this. Something really good. Just read and follow through.

This is taken from Marina M's blog.


Peace!

We need your participation!

Campaign name: Let’s Read The Quran


On January 1st 2009, four friends Syed, Walski, Marina and Anas got together at Coffee-Bean Bangsar Village and decided to launch a campaign to encourage people to read and understand the Quran better.

This campaign is not only for Muslims, but also for our brothers and sisters who are Christians, Buddhists Hindus, Sikhs and those who believe in a God-Head but not so gung-ho about being in any brand of religion, too – come join us and share your ideas! You can join this campaign even if you are an atheist!

The goal of this campaign is to encourage people to read the Quran in the language they understand most and find in it areas of common values in our day-to-day living.

What is the Campaign all about?

Read the Quran in the language that you are familiar with.

When will the campaign start and end?

January 15th to February 14th (Happy Valentine’s Day!)

Where?

Participating blogs in the blogosphere.

Why?

So more people know what the Quran says and what the Quran does not say and to match it to what is really said in our daily lives.

Who?

Everyone who wants to – the more the merrier! If you have a Blog, Facebook, etc carry the logo/icon.

How?

- To join the campaign, place the accompanying logo/icon at your blog.

La-di-dah

After going through 6 school days, today seemed mundane and way too draggy. Other than the fact that my dearest went back to his house yesterday (boohoo) and my abah away to Muar the house is way too quiet, other than the sound of my cats meowing for mealtime. Read my favourite parts in Acheron and all of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga and preparing test paper for the upcoming test. Not forgetting that I was watching Johnny's countdown 2009 on youtube. Arashi was hosting - they're now 10!!! I'm so loving the medley



Yazer, a friend of mine from the teacher training college dropped by to invite my family and I to his wedding reception this 26th January. The reception at his wife's house clashed with my reception at hubby's place so we couldn't show up. Good news, his wife, Ina who was also my next door neighbour in college is 4 months pregnant. Congratulations!!!

Oh yeah, as of 14th of January, I'm an aunt!! Not that I'm not already an aunt - thanks to my cousins (and yes, even grand-aunt) this time, I'm an aunt because my sister in-law just gave birth to a beautiful daughter.

14th of January, not that hard of a birth date to remember since I could list some people I know & knew who was born on that same date

1. Yan, my schoolmate since primary school
2. Odah, my seatmate in secondary school
   
3. Miza, my classmate during the degree years
4. Raziq, my classmate in year 6 who passed away when he was 12 due to Leukemia.

See, not an easy date to forget.

Tomorrow, I have to drive up to see the ENT specialist in Hospital Sultanah Aminah (that's ear, nose and throat) for a follow up appointment for my sinusitis. Sighs. Just last month I had to go through too many x-ray sessions. A chect X-ray for my confirmation medical check up, 2 x-rays for my dental (twice because they did not manage to get the right tooth area the first time) and 3 for my skeletal views since they want to see how bad my sinusitis is. Bad I guess since the x-ray more or less looks like the one you can see in wikipedia. So if you're allergic to dust, be warned. You may not see it now but just watch out as time goes.

Well anyway, good thing is the Chinese New Year holiday is just few days away and I'm off to see my dearest again!!!!

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

Ever seen the movie 'There's Something About Mary'?
To be specific, the part when Ben Stiller's character managed to get his thingy stuck between the zipper since he was too busy looking at Mary while doing his business? Youch!

Well, same thing happened, only that the circumstance changed.

A year 6 boy was circumcised during last year's school holiday. Maybe he was playing rough with his friends or he was in such a hurry that he managed to... well get his thingy stuck to his zipper. Accompanied by his two smiling friends who were not at least sympathetic, his face was covered with tears and of course at that time, we, female teachers went berserk looking for male teachers to aid him. Of course, there are things that female teachers can't simply do.

The on-duty teacher was, thank goodness a male, so he sent the boy back to his house with the boy bawling his head off.

That happened last week. The boy is still absent from school.

Moral of the story: Parents, train your kid to wear their undies since young. It's important.

Happy New Year

I haven't been blogging for weeks.

It's the new year and unfortunately for me, I ushered it with a bad case of sinusitis. Thank goodness for my trusty creamer pot that I made into my neti pot, my health is improving - many thanks to Oprah and Dr Oz for introducing me that method months ago.

So anyway, school is going to open in less than a couple of days and I've been going to school non stop for the clean up and transition program for year 1 pupils. Hubby's back since he got to work on new year, huhuhu, and today I'm at my uncle's house for a visit.

On my way here, horror descended.

Just after Pekan Nenas, there was a slow traffic. I saw a trailer that was carrying cooking gas blocking the road. I hate driving behind any lorry or trailer with load full of cooking gas. I watched too many movies and I have an over active imagination, that's why.

So I thought, okay a trailer went off the road, big deal, no problem. The police and fire brigade were busy clearing the gas tanks and controlling the traffic. As I was passing the trailer, I saw bits and pieces of glass and... other vehicle? on the road. What kind? I can't see any other vehicle there.

I was wrong.

Right after the trailer, there it was.

A mangled black car that looked like a Citra.

With a dead man still in it. His head was leaning through the window, the engine was crushed and only the roof at the passenger's side remained. The head was bloodied and I thanked Allah for only able to see the back of his head.

I knew he was dead because no one was hovering over the car or do anything to revive him.

Creepy.

Drive safe. Love your life, love your family.

The Dentist

doodle taken from organizeddoodles

How many of you dread visiting the dentist?

Let me tell you a story of a girl. When she was in primary school, she loved to go to the dentist so much. Her mother worked at the district dental clinic as a clerk and she spent most of her time after kindergarten there. She loved the huge toothbrush they use to show the way to brush properly, she loved the big teeth model they put on display and in short she loved everything and everyone at the dental clinic, including the late Dr. T.J Ganesan who kept patting her head and Dr Mak who were busy 24/7.

She loved it so much that she always look forward for her tooth to be pulled out or caries to be patched in. She even pulled out her neighbour's tooth using a very sharp pencil when they were playing doctor (no kidding there).

Well that was not what happened to the girl now.

Yeah, she still love to visit the dentist and she still look forward for a scaling session. But she was putting off seeing the dentist for years because she knew she had a very healthy wisdom tooth that needed to be pulled out.

In 2002, she had gone through a minor surgery because her lower left wisdom tooth grew out horizontally instead of vertically. Back then the upper pair was still growing. Needless to say, that wisdom tooth were still healthy and she had to spend 30 minutes with too many anesthetic injected to her gum to make her feel numb. They cut the tooth and extracted the roots one by one. They had to inject her once more because the anesthetic worn off during the pulling session. Not a good experience. When the upper pair grew, it occupied the empty space down there and food kept sticking in between the wisdom tooth and the tooth in front.

So one day, the girl who had grown into a woman had to go for a medical check up so she could not avoid the visit to the dentist. As she predicted the dentist listed her up for an appointment that very afternoon.

She was scared. The dentist looked young and brand new and sang along to the radio when she did her check - keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love - in this context, that song is freaky. The dentist injected her gum with anesthetic and sent her out of the surgery room with her face swollen and numb. 10 minutes after, she was called back and the dentist went on extracting the tooth. The hard part was to control her saliva since the suction machine was damaged by lightning. The good news was that she did not feel a thing. The bad news was one of her roots grew to be bent so the tooth broke and a small part of it was left inside. So the woman have to go for a second appointment to get the root out on 30th of December.

*Groans*

My wedding

Okayla, as requested, ni lah die gambar gambar dari wedding. Sebenarnye gambar official tak dapat lagi sebab aku kat Seri Kembangan, tak sempat jumpa photographer lagi. Banyak lagi kat phone tapi well, aku upload ape yang ade ajelah eh :D

Ni gambar before nikah, lepas make-up.

Bergambar dgn Steve, my bro from U.S who flew all the way to my wedding. Thanks a bunch bro!!! Waktu ni dah selamat jadi isteri orang, hihi.

Bersanding di Pontian. Sorry takde close up, tunggu photographer nanti.

Waktu sanding kat Putrajaya, all decked out in purple, kecuali Osman yg takde baju purple, hehehe.

Yang budak kecik tukang bagi bunga telur tu cousin yg paling muda kitorang, Baby, adik pada pengapitku Dayah. Thanks for being my matron of honour. You did get the bouquet I threw, hehe

Okay, tu aje gambar yang ade ^_^ Untuk yang datang tu, terima kasih bebanyak. Yang tak dapat datang tu, thanks for your prayers and wishes.

Lightning strikes

Just when I thought that turning off my laptop and router modem without plugging it out of the socket would save it from lightning - I was wrong.

It was raining cats and dogs yesterday morning along with loud thunders and way too bright lightning. The lightning managed to kick the main switch off and it rained til 9 ish. There I was moving around and doing housechores, entertaining relatives that came to check up on our progress for the wedding (4 more days?! Arienaitsuno!). It wasn't until later that I turned on my laptop and the router modem that I saw the weirdness of the situation. My laptop is still functioning but MY KEYBOARD WASN'T!!! The router, you can just say that it does connect, only that it does not receive or sending data. Yabai na kore... I was still calm, turning off my laptop and turning up the school's laptop. Still it couldn't detect my router, so I used my modem instead. It was fine. Out of sheer panic I smsed my sayang (he was working last night) and advised me what to check and all that but the keyboard was still out.

Today, I went to the computer shop to check and their advise - go to the service centre - in MASAI!! So in the end, they recommended me a USB keyboard. Now my laptop looks weird T_T

Weird. Taihen deshou? huhuhuhu

Right now, I'm watching Ryuusei No Kizuna, a new drama starring Nino, Ryo and Toda Erika (the girl who starred in Death Note - the one who had a shinigami with her) about siblings who were bent to get revenge for their murdered parents. Along the way, they swindled money from those who were bad to them. Nino was their aniki (big bro) who masterminded the swindling activities by providing dialogues to his younger siblings which of course made the drama humourous at the same time.



The opening song for the drama, by Arashi of course (since Nino is a part of Arashi), Beautiful Days. A sad song...

So anyway, my nuptial is coming real soon. Do come ^_^

Tiara

I only have few minutes to write this. The phone line at home is currently down due to the phone cable that was accidentally disconnected due to the tow truck that took my abah's old car away (berapa banyak due daaa). So I am now without any internet line at home. Such a torture.

Well, I've just returned from...

It was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is weird saying "Boys Over Flower" out loud when I am so used to refer it as Hana Yori Dango. In HYD 2, it ended with Domyouji proposing to Makino. Well this one is fast forward to four years before their wedding when their love was put to the test by some sort of a 'conspiracy'.

In this movie, Makino was given a tiara by Domyouji's okaasan, supposedly being handed down from generation to generation of the heir's wife. By some freak accident, it was stolen so both Makino and Domyouji have to look for it or their wedding would be history.

It was endearing to watch Domyouji with his mixed up language lingo, 'wet feet' instead of 'cold feet' and he even had the gall to say the term 'cold feet' does not make any sense. There were some fight scene - I applause Jun for those jumping and fighting stunts that he pulled.

I went out of the cinema with a huge smile. Too bad the show at the cinema will end on the 5th November. I hope that this will not be the last time that I could watch my favourite Japanese movie at the local cinema. Watching Jun, Shun and Mao on the big screen was inexpressible. I'm gonna hunt for the DVD now ^_^

Sasuga Jun!!!!

p.s: Kalau ade geng JEM dah sure abis buat pose kat depan poster tu, wahahaha. Rindunye kat korang.

Omoide Zutto Zutto

More or less 15 days to go, but who's counting, hehehe. Friends at school are in a teasing mood - on the so called 'darah manis' and all that. It is okay because I am not the only one with the sweet blood, ngiahahaha. A colleague of mine, Hanis is in the same period as her wedding will be on 23rd November.

Tomorrow I will be off to Skudai with some friends of mine to pick a replacement for my faulty sealer. Thinking of going to the fish spa again to get the fish to eat and nibble on my feet, heheh.

SO anyway, I was looking through the post at JEM when ta-da! Someone posted a movie showtime on the forum, with a poster with very familiar faces.

Nanda sore?

The show will be aired for a very very limited time at the selected local cinemas - from 30th October to the 5th of November. Finally, I can watch Jun on the big screen!!!! Patut pun lately I was itching to find my HYD videos that I burnt. Though I'm more keen to watch the final episodes of each HYD 1 & 2.

Made and arrangement with Irra (she loves HYD too) for the Saturday show. Can't wait, yatta!!!!

Ohno Saikou!!!!

My blog is filled with cobwebs - yeah yeah, the much delayed update is here. So anyway, the latest news, not much. Clean here, clean there, paint here, paint there, pack here, pack there, yadda yadda yadda. It's the end of the year. Textbooks returned, revisions. I managed to finish the download for Maou - yeay!! Thanks to my bro who helped me queuing it up on my torrent all the while I was up and about.

So, my verdict - I love it!!!

At first, Ohno's character - Naruse was similar to a robot. Emotionless. Empty. And he was like a walking statue.

Toma's character - Serizawa was the devil may care detective who would do unethical things to get the criminal to admit their crime.

As the plot uncovers and as the drama progress, the Ohno I saw in Shinseki Emotion and West Side Story came out. The play of emotion can be seen on his face. Doubts, sympathy, vengeance - you name it, there it were.

The drama kept me hooked from the first to the last. The last episode was a tearjerker - nothing else I could comment on the end for those two.

"I take your life forever, you take my life"

Very apt.

Here's a vid I found on youtube, a fanvid on Naruse, ureshii *rolls around*

Ode to Mudirah

I could almost hear her voice shaking me up from my daydream in the classroom and asking me to construct a sentence from the Arabic word given...

She was our KTAM principal since my sister's time - and that was in late 80s until she retired when we moved to SMKAJB.

She was Puan Hjh Zaiton bt Atan.

Thank you for being our teacher,
Thank you for giving us guidance,
Thank you for being our mentor.

Thank you for being strict on me,
Thank you for believing in me,
Thank you for aspiring me.

You are an inspiration.

Syukran jazilan ya Mudirah.

Al-Fatihah.

Fangirl Alert!!!

I admit, I haven't been a good fan - no Arashi stuff that I bought since early this year. I admit, I was oblivious to their album this year that the last album I heard was Time. So did a little catch up and the video I saw today was wow - All of them have black hair now - no dye, cool!!!!

A Walk in the Memory Lane

This entry is dedicated to the first batch of SMKAJB.

Korang mesti dah lama tak pergi sekolah kan? Beberapa minggu sebelum bulan puasa, aku ambik kesempatan pergi ikut Yan pergi rumah mak dia kat JB. And since semua tau yang mak dia pengetua sekolah tu sekarang n aku mengambil kesempatan untuk merayau-rayau di area sekolah.

Sungguhla aku envy tengok budak-budak seolah tu sekarang. Sekolah dah cantik, bangunan ada tambah lagi satu, wakaf pun dah bertambah.

Ingat tangga 'harapan' yang ni? Tangga dari kawasan dewan naik ke surau yang zaman dulu dah makan beberapa ramai mangsa sebab dulu tak ada railing langsung? Berapa ramai student (aku pun termasuk dalam korum tu) termasuk sekali dgn parents yang tergelincir jatuh sebab tangga tu curam gila? Sekarang sure dah tak seramai dulu yang jatuh sebab railing dah ada. Kalau jatuh jugak, tak tau la aku nak cakap apa.

Ingat lagi surau ni? Waktu kita bumbung tu tak ada. Yang ada cuma walkway aje. Waktu yang paling best aku ingat time kita, kalau hujan, instead of gunakan jalan belakang, semua main redah aje hujan sebab malas nak pusing jauh. Time tu semua lari aje dari tepi surau ke tempat berbumbung. Sekarang ni bukan setakat bumbung aje, kotak untuk pokok pun dah ada.

Cuba teka ni kat mana?

This, my dear ialah Aspuri kita. Time ni Aspuri kunci so aku cuma blh ambil gambar dari gate aje. Pokok yang ditanam time kita of course la dah besar sangat. Yang gambar belah atas tu la terletaknya bilik warden, Common Room yang dikasihi - tempat kita seludup pukul 3 pagi tengok MTV, hahaha.

Tengok, dah ada direktori lagi. Hebat tak hengat. Ingat lagi Study Room kat ground floor tempat kita lepak n buat homework dulu? SR tu dah ditukar jadi dorm. Dorm Iqlima dgn Masyitah dah turun kat ground floor. Yang lain masih lagi kekal kedudukan dia kecuali ada 2 dorm baru - dorm Hawa & Zulaikha. Maknanya makin ramai le student kat sini.

Ni pulak kat mana?

Kalau korang teka kat Dewan Makan, tepat sekali!!!!! Yang bahagian atas tu tempat kita dulu beratur ambil makanan. Tengok, siap ada cermin hitam tu. Yang bawah pulak bahagian belakang dewan yang dulu kosong. Dah convert jadi stage untuk formal dinner for teachers. Cuba korang tengok lampu tu. Time kita lampu perdarfluor biasa aje.

Tu gambar close up lampu dengan sinki. Dah tukar kaler dah. Renovate habis. Yang tak ubah cuma lantai dewan makan yang masih lagi melekit kat kaki, yuck! That never change, hahaha. Tapi aku tak gemar sangat cara susunan meja makan sekarang. Time dulu lagi senang sikit nak access.

Ada banyak lagi gambar sebenarnya tapi dalam banyak-banyak gambar, gambar ni lah yang buat aku terharu sangat sangat.

Korang abaikan arca hidup kat tengah tu. Ingat lagi mural ni? Inilah mural yang Isem, Rai, Nofie, Zai dgn Kherry buat waktu sekolah baru bukak dulu. Ada lagi mural ni, masih lagi dalam keadaan yang baik. Aku lupa tahun berapa derang buat ni... tahun 96 ke? Lepas kita abis PMR? Waktu tu kita semua masih lagi KTAMian. Hmm tapi Isem masuk waktu SMKAJB so maybe 97 atau 98 kot. Anyway, mural ni lah peninggalan first batch kat sekolah tu yang masih ada. Cikgu Nurizah masih lagi ada kat sekolah tu so maybe dia pun sengaja tinggalkan mural ni.

Untuk batch SMKAJB sekarang, maybe korang ade yang countdown nak abis sekolah. Mungkin ada rules yang pada korang tak masuk akal, ada cikgu yang korang tak suka tapi bila dah masuk u atau kerja nanti, rules yang pelik tu lah yang korang ingat sampai bila-bila and kawan-kawan yang korang dah kenal dalam masa 5 tahun tu lah jadi kawan yang korang still akan ingat sampai bila bila. Savour thy school time, love thy friends and respect thy teachers.

Untuk kengkawan aku, ingat lagi Pesta Denda time kita form 2 kat KTAM? Hahahaha.

My Workspace - Yet Another Tag, huhu

This is, as tagged by my brother, my workspace.

Nothing much to expect since teachers do not have their own office - unless they're the principal, headmaster or senior assistants. So this is my desk that I spent not so much time at - since I'm one of the few teachers who have a 32 teaching periods in my schedule per week. Hectic, yeah, but I love it.

So here's a brief tour of my desk.

Upper Part
This is where I put my pupils' exercise book whether they're marked or unmarked. I do not return the year 1 pupils' books after the marking because most of the time, they never brought it back to school after I returned it for the same old reason la - mothers or dads did not put the book back in the bag. As you can see, the books were piled up for this week - I was going nuts preparing and reading for the confirmation interview, huhuhu.

Behind - Right
That's where I put all my text books, revision books and some letters and whatever junks that I manage to accumulate since I started my teaching, hehehe. The front part, the Longman Contemporary dictionary (not mine but the Resource Centre's) that I normally use to check the pronunciation and meaning.

Behind - Left
Okay this is the red zone area - the space where I put all the toys, sms (not the phone but the paper scrap pupils use to pass their short messages) and even erasers - yes, I confiscate erasers too if the kids were playing the "timpa-timpa pemadam" or improvise their erasers to spin like a top during class, hehehe.

Front left
This is my temporary parking space for my books that I am going to use in between classes so that after one class ends, I swapped books before I go to my next class.

Drawers
I put all the file regarding my class - sick leave, receipt and my teacher's stamp ink - had to hide those stamp inks because before this I left it on my table and found that my desk was stamped with it. I've caught one of the pupils poking through my stuff because unlike other teacher's desks, mine is unmarked so they thought no one sat there and I had a fun time 'torturing' them, ngiahahaha. I've yet to find the culprit who stamped my desk with my own fancy teacher's stamp.

So there it is, my desk. So, on my tag list..
