What makes me upset....
Students who juz don't put in effort in their work. Today is the day of the week that I have 8 periods but no big deal coz almost every other day other teachers are also having 8 or more. But what is so frustrating is that you don't have the facillities to get work done. All the labs are booked either by classes or courses conducted during curriculum time. So no choice use computers in NW rm. Then true enough , they ALL DON"T WORK. Cannot even logged in how to use!!!!! I know my student also fed-up. Musssssst passed up today, then computer sucks..... But as I was looking at the students trying to figure out to make the computer works, its really so funny. Kids now are so bomdarded with Hi-tech equip. IT so latest , up-to-date.. here we are trying to use an ancient equipment that maybe even the karung guni men also dont want. Then they as per normal complaint lah.. so this , so that .. so what else is new.HUH. I juz have to laugh it off. Really like macam Flinstones times.
I stayed up till 6 juz to complete the coursework Part B but then there are students who simply think that they have a choice to come or not to come. Upset right?
Then to topped it all, the leaked air-con. I saw the girl whose book was wet, told me that her book is still wet after 4 days. Well, this is the 7th month, someone must still be pouring water. It goes with the book.
School and students aside....
I went to visit a close friend last night before going for my religious class. He was suffering from stomach cancer but he had an operation way back in 2004 to have his stomach removed. All along he was actually coping, well enough for go to work and to be seen in our regular prayer functions that we had once a month. But for the past 2 months he had not been able to attend the monthly prayers and my husband also learnt that he had not been to work. He had been going through chemo and that really drain him out. I looked how his wife had to helped him in bed and constantly massage his feet as there is water retention and feeling of numbness. It really brings back to sad days when my father , my late father had to go thro' the same process. Sometimes I had to sent him to the hospital and juz feel incapable of doing more. I really feel for both of them as I watch my friend, it reminds me also of what my mum went thro'.Not once, but twice. Brother and father.
I know that God gave us hurdles to overcome in accordance to what he thinks we are capable of. God would not test us more than what we can carry.
What I want really... Give me the strength to accept what YOU think I am capable of. Give me the mind and heart to pray for all to have the strength to accept what YOU gave them as YOU think they are capable of. Amin
