How time flies........

It has been quite a while since I peep into my own blog, Gosh ! How busy these days are. Up and down the college has been a busy routine nowadays and time really flies.After a few blinking of the eyes, the clock ticks to 4pm already and it's time to pack your things up. And believe me.....there are tones and piles of workload waiting to be touched by you. Life is messy sometimes but I love it.

Manusia ini.......



 Hari ini bawa anak-anak ke Carnival  dekat Cinta Sayang Club. Bukan semua pun yang boleh dibawa sebab si Along dah balik ke kolejnya dan si Angah berada di Rawang rumah Alangnya. So yang tinggal si kecil berdua tu la, Kakak dan Adik. They were so excited in hearing that we are gonna take them to the Carnival. Tak pe la.... sekurang-kurangnya kurang lah sikit tahap keboringan mereka berdua tu. Maklumlah asyik kat rumah je, Mama dan Baba kerja.

Spent about 4 hours there, dah kecut pun tak nak keluar dari air juga. Nasib baik le ada Babanya nak temankan dalam air, if not, sure bising punya. Kali ini tak nak uploadkan pictures lagi lah. Nanti-nanti bila dah transfer, baru upload semula. Malas benar rasa malam ni.

Yang seronok nak dikongsi bukan la pasal anak-anak mandi tu sangat. Biasa sangatlah bagi they all tu, mandi kat situ ka, swimming pool ka, laut ka, tak kisah berapa puluh kali pun, tahap excitement tetap serupa. Tinggi sokmo!! Hai anak-anak......

Yang nak dikongsikan di sini adalah pengalaman saya menghabiskan masa menunggu anak2 dan Babanya mandi-manda. Berkesempatan pula berbual dengan seorang lelaki berketurunan Cina. Ingatkan dia dengan anak-anaknya. Bila sikakak menghampiri, saya menegur, " macam Melayu rupanya". Tau apa katanya. "Dia memang Melayu". Tercengang sebentar saya. Anaknya Melayu? Budak tu berkulit putih macam anak Cina tapi matanya tak sepet dan mukanya macam anak Melayu.

Dia terus bercerita, katanya anak jirannya tapi dah jadi macam anak sendiri. Ibubapa dah berpisah, anak 7 orang dan mereka org susah. Jiran nya sejak 20 tahun yang lalu (tapi sekarang sudah berpindah tempat tinggal )maka budak tu dah jadi rapat dengannya dan keluarga. Even call him Daddy. This man is a contractor dan punya 3 orang anak yang semuanya dah besar-besar belaka..The child actually sekolah kat SJK Cina and she speaks Manderin excellently.Lepas itu, datang pulak sikecil. 6 years old her age and to my other surprise to my own question : Dia pun Melayu juga. Dan anak kecil itu bukanlah adik kepada sikakak yang tadi tapi dari keluarga Melayu yang lain. Ya Allah...........manusia ini memang berhati mulia, cuma harapanku semoga janganlah akidah anak-anak itu dipesongkan. Bila time makan, dibiarkannya bebudak tu makan dulu, lepas dia org dah tak nak makan, pergi sambung mandi, baru dia makan. Masyaallah........Bila time nak balik, dipimpinnya tangan kedua-dua anak itu macam anak sendiri and who would be saying that those are not his sebab muka kedua-duanya memang macam anak Cina!

Harapan pada kedua-dua ibu dan ayah kandung anak-anak itu, pastikan akidah dan pegangan agama anak-anak tersebut tidak tergelincir dari landasan Islam walau sebaik mana sekalipun hubungan antara mereka dan sekiranya niat si contractor itu ikhlas mahu membantu dan memberi kasih sayang pada anak-anak tersebut tanpa ada niat yang lain,semoga Allah sentiasa memberkati........ Insyaallah.

Singapore National Library

Friends forever

With Mr Shuhaimi and Madam Ani Aishah Fatimah





Togetherness

 Hi again ......
Here are some stories of us,the Malaysian Clipsters during our visit to the Singapore National Library on 15th August 2008

During our visit to this library, we were taken on a tour around the place.First, we were quickly ushered into a room where a librarian, Ms Shiela briefed us with slide shows of the functions of the library to the school going children, the resident and even foreigners.

There are several levels; each level caters according to the age group.There are the primary level, teenager and the adult section.Books are neatly placed and the library appeared richly stocked with books, Cds, magazines and other reading materials.

Honestly, we were deeply impressed by the facilities available. Most tasks are electronically run.The atmosphere in the library was set in such a way that it is made homely and very condusive and inviting to stay and spend time reading.There is comfortable furniture around to sit and relax while enjoying the books. The shelves are full of articles and imformative leaflets where readers can access with the latest information on the latest book titles etc......

Frankly speaking, we were amazed by what we saw during the visit to the library. It's a wonderful experience indeed and I would like you guys to feel and share the same wonderful feeling ...........
Happy reading and enjoy yourselves!!

Students' Presentations(Sem 1- 2010)

These are my students from LCT and LMT tutoriol classes. For the Muet Paper, they have to do some presentations on the 4 skills which are Listening, Speaking, Writing and Reading. In order for them to be able to get what the lecturer requests from them, they will have to present on topics assigned. They have to realize that they are no more in school level where everything will be spoon-feed by the teachers. Here in Matriculation College, research and self- inquiry are two most important skills which they have to aquire to help preparing themselves for varsity level.

Presentation time for the students is the most unfavourable moments as that will test their public speaking skill and confidence level. Grammar goes haywire and sentences jumbled-up here and there but those are the reality we as the lecturers here have to face. Having students who scored excellently in other core subjects but unable to present themselves well in English is a heartfell  situation actually.

Adik during her Colouring Contest -Home Park (Sept 2010)

This is Nurul Izziannie Syiffa Mohd Juraini and she is 6 years old. Last September 2010 we registered her in a colouring contest organized by Home Park at Home Park avenue in Sungai Petani since she is so interested in colouring. Yes, she was sooooo excited waiting for that moment,kept on asking about the date and hour because she used to win in her previous colouring contests.

So we took her with her sister, Nurul Irdina Syaffiqa who was reluctant to take part. Nevermind that as long as she's happy,right? It was a two-hour assingment with lots of details to be completed and lots of the contestants were finaly got fed-up. Nobody in their right minds will force those young contestants to continue since the picture given was so detailed. Based on my experience as a former teacher, I questioned my hubby who answered me : honey, they are not teachers, how on earth will they know whether their picture suits the contestants or not. Well, that made sense.

Finally, my sweetheart let go of her picture unfinished. That's it and we did not force her as we respected her right.We headed towards Pizza Hut to ' celebrate her success in not completing her assingnment' he he......

Team Building Course -KMTK 2010

Team Building Course At Sandy Beach Resort, Langkawi. Started from 25 November till 27 November 2010, the three-day course actually had given us (if not entirely all) the best moments of our lives.We get to know each other better in term of friendships and commitment. We achieved a sense of belonging and team building among us and we left something behind - selfishness. Maybe just for a short while but whatever it was,we do achieved something and deep down inside, I do hope that the sense of togetherness will remain in the hearts of all.

Dalamnya erti keikhlasan hati

Manusia kekadang lupa pada erti persahabatan, persaudaraan dan dalamnya kasih sayang sesama insan. Sesetengah manusia akan tidak memperdulikan perasaan manusia lain hanya kerana takut pada protokol yang dicipta oleh manusia itu sendiri hinggakan kekadang membunuh erti keikhlasan sebenar.

Sedarlah sekiranya hati kita benar-benar ikhlas kerana Allah, akan kita harungi dan gagahi jua walau ada halusnya suara yang menyatakan tidak pada keikhlasan itu.Tepuk dada, tanya lah selera. Adakah anda benar-benar ikhlas hari ini bila hanyunan kaki dan pautan stering kereta berarahkan bekas tempat kerja anda?Tertutuplah hati ini bila memikirkan yang lain namun kalah jua bila bulatnya mata-mata hitam anak-anak yang tidak berdosa, seakan memanggil-manggil..................ikhlasku kerana Allah SWT demi anak-anak.Itu sahaja yang mampuku katakan,bukan kerana yang lain.

Insyaallah, hadirku disini pada hari-hari mendatang hanya sebagai waris murid, tidak lebih dari itu kerana sudah nyata itulah hakikat sebenar yang ingin disuarakan, cuma aku sendiri yang masih belum menyedarinya.Atau.....masih belum mampu melupakan.

Enough of sacrifying

Sometimes there are certain feelings which cannot be expressed by words. It takes certain catagory of people to understand the feelings as well as the situation you are in. It's hard to say and what more to write about it but it's there.

You are willing to sacrify your time and life for the students but there are people who could not care less. I failed to understand how that could happened. It's unthinkable and unbearable as well.Come to think of it, maybe because you are not there anymore so your service is of no importance to them.Come on......be realistic, they do not need you there anymore so stop sacrifying yourselves for nonsensical problem. Let them be. By the end of this year, you will not have anything else to do with them anymore so bid it goodbye.

Majlis Bacaan Yassin Perdana UPSR 2010

Hari ini - 19hb September 2010 (Ahad), hari pertama persekolahan selepas anak-anak sekolah bercuti panjang selepas berhari raya. Hari pertama persekolahan dimulakan dengan Majlis Bacaan Yassin Perdana  dan Solat Hajat untuk memohon keberkatan Illahi bagi mempermudahkan anak-anak SKBP meneruskan perjuangan mereka menghadapi peperiksaan mega mereka yang pertama iaitu UPSR.

Selesai sahaja kuliah pada hari ini di KMTK, terus bergegas ke SKBP untuk majlis tersebut. Alhamdulilah , perjalanan berjalan lancar seperti mana doaku saban hari supaya Allah sentiasa mempermudahkan dan melancarkan segala urusanku sekeluarga . Majlis baru sahaja bermula dan selesai bersalaman dengan teman-teman, aku terus sahaja menyertai para guru, waris dan anak-anak yang  lain. Selesai bacaan Yassin, sempat juga aku meninjau suasana majlis, sedih rasanya bila melihat kurangnya sambutan para waris kalau dibandingkan dengan tahun-tahun yang lalu. Boleh dibilang dengan jari sahaja bilangannya, apa sudah jadi? Tidak pentingkah majlis ini bagi mereka sedangkan inilah kemuncaknya setelah para guru bertungkus-lumus memberi sepenuh perhatian dan mencurahkan segala ilmu pada anak-anak mereka. Renung-renungkan lah wahai para waris........Tidak lakukah surat yang ditandatangani oleh Tuan Guru Besar untuk ditunjukkan pada majikan masing-masing sebagai bukti bahawa mereka perlu menghadiri majlis anjuran sekolah demi untuk anak-anak mereka?

Beralih dari situlah aku mengangkat tangan mengucap syukur pada Ilahi kerana sentiasa diberi kesedaran dan rasa kebertanggungjawaban di hati ini dan dipermudahkan segala urusan olehNya. Dikurniakan pula majikan yang sangat baik, prihatin dan bertimbangrasa walaupun taraf dan kedudukannya jauh lebih tinggi dari  kita-kita semua.........renung-renungkanlah.....Wallahuallam.....

11 September 2010

Haffy Rayyan Hasfani Rusman

Nur Qaseh Qhalesya Emelin Muhammad Azhar

11 September 2010 - Hari Raya Kedua yang juga adalah hari lahirku. Meriah rasanya tahun ini kerana hampir semua adik-adik dan keluarga mereka berada bersamaku dan juga familyku di rumah bapa. Kami raikan bersama-sama seiring dengan sambutan hari raya yang sememangnya meriah tahun ini. Rumah bapaku tak henti-henti menerima kunjungan tetamu. Bertali-arus dan memang rezeki mereka agaknya kerana sentiasa saja ada hidangan yang memang kami sediakan walaupun sememangnya kehadiran mereka tidak dirancangkan.

 Alhamdulilah bertambah erat ikatan persaudaraan antara kami sekeluarga dan meriahnya bertambah-tambah dengan keletah anak-anak saudaraku yang nakal dan mongel-mongel belaka. Dua anak saudara baru - Haffy Rayyan dan Nur Qaseh Qhalesya Emelin menambah keriangan seisi keluarga dengan keletah  comel mereka. Kesyukuran ke hadrat Illahi kupanjatkan atas segala kurniaNya pada kami sekeluarga dan doaku biarlah kebahagiaan dan keharmonian ini berkekalan selamanya - Insyaalah.
