Hydrology and earth system science...Hmm..kind of stuck with these jurnals.. Can't have my rest until i finish reviewing them.. I'm sooooo weak and sleepy... But for my beloved aunty Odye, i have to stay focus n finish this..

Being extremely tired, weak and sleepy doesn't stop me from having another craving. hehe..Now i'm imagining Starbucks Caramel Latte and Big Apple alien donut ...hmmm...tapun....;s

Another teacher story..

I've been having endless tuition classes and tasks to do. Didn't even have a quality 'me' time lately. But then..it comes with the package kan.. Today my evening tuition class is canceled, so here i am..pouring another thought.

I know i've talk abt this, but today i feel like talking abt it again..because today i feel so weak and tired..but something made me smile..Today..a few colleagues came to me and ask about a student of mine. They inquire abt the reason he obviously changed. He was a lazy and passive student in the weakest class.But now we become one of the diligent student and even apply to be a member of English club. He came to meet me during recess and at the end of school almost everyday asking for guidance in English Language. Make corrections for every mistakes he did. I think the explanation is..he changed the way he sees English.... and i am the medium.

It makes me smile...

I am not an optionist. Never had a proper training in English. I don't have the enthusism and pedagogy of a TESL graduates...and English is just my second language, but i'm happy with the small changes that i can do to 'memperkukuhkan Bahasa Inggeris' among students. haha

But the most satisfying feeling is...it feels all my exhaustion for these past few weeks is paid off.. :) thats one of the reasons i love being a teacher..

Teaching is holistic..

Wise men say it is..so..it is then. Haha.. Being a teacher for a few months has open my eyes to another angle in life. A very extreme change of a student. Never really occur to me that it is possible (especially caused by me), although I always bear in mind that nothing is impossible. The possibilities of me changing a very passive student to an active one. It’s a very satisfying feeling.. I hope he’ll continue changing for good..
Teachers are really a ‘walking ABM (Alat Bantu Mengajar)’ (Thanks to Dr.Ruslin for that). The way you mix around, talk, dress, smile,joke, teach and even your patience are actually included in the teaching and encouraging process of the young minds… Theory has it that teenagers are looking for their identities in this specific phase of life..
So, wearing a ’teacher’ name tag is pretty much…having yourself being one of the identity indicator.. haha..

The 'package of life'

There are so many interpretations about life.. Especially about future..But one thing for sure…it is unpredictable..One moment you are sure about something then 5 seconds later, life present to you a situation that makes you question your decisions.
Sometimes you feel like giving up, after trying for so many times..bored with the uncertainties..then you start looking for solutions..and might misinterpret some of it..
Sometimes you just stop thinking…blacked out..
Well, life wouldn’t be so much fun if everything is predictable right? Hmm…

The start...

I'm officially a teacher.. Teacher Jovie. Still adjusting to the name.. The school is ok..in fact categorized as sekolah impian. That means the expectation to the academic quality is high. This year, i am responsible for the PMR English result for two form three classes. All the best to me. Haha

The books to check is piling up.. it comes with the package kan..

My final day of freedom..

Nobody owns me.. I am free to do what i want..act and decide things according to my hesrt's desire...following my own set of judgements... Went outing whenever i want...chatting endlessly...and the best part is simply doing nothing..Hmmmm....but the not-so-best part is...i'm broke..



Tommorrow i would be own by the KPM. Tied to the ground rules of being a teacher.. No more the naughty n childish me.. Matured personality was in the top ten list of being a teacher. So..here i go.. (hahaha).. The young minds gonna depends on my judgements..can't go outing whenever i want and there gonna be tonnes of work waiting on my desks every morning..huhu
But..the best part is...(huhu..i'm lovin this one!)..the steady income.. Yeah!



They said that if you love your job so much..you'll never feel like working at all..

It has been a while…

Now I’m gonna own the ‘teacher’ name tag for real. I had a dream last nite. It was a scene of me entering my first class for the first time.. it was humiliating and a total disaster. Huhu.. Nightmare indeed.

But they say, if u had a dream…u have to turn the story around. So in the real world, i’ll have my first class just nice…Hahah…something to cheer myself up . I certainly hope so.

Anyway..this is it..the outcome of the 10 months -head crushing-DPLI intensif programme. For my beloved coursemates that have been posted in Sabah. Welcome! Looking forward to teach with you girls.

Enjoy your stay in Sabah. Its beautiful and peace in here..you’ll see.. Good luck girls!
