Late..later..latest.

Immediately after the MT paper on Monday I had my practicals the next day n the study camp begins. All notification were given to pupils involved muuch earlier. Scheduled were up with all timings clearly stated. But yet still we dont have very encouraging attendance. Of course there were those who were never punctual. There were those who were late.. then there were those who were later and yet again there were those that came the latest.

Nevertheless, grateful I must be for that they actually made an effort to come when you think about those who were TOTALLY MIA.

Cluster Games Fiesta

Everybody even our new teachers who join us who were there were involved in one way or another. Captains ball, floorball, basketball, soccer, badminton, telematch and cheering. Tired. I just want to go home and take a cold shower and sleep. Which I did.

I am COOL abt things.

Came back to school after 2 days away. Nevertheless was never out of touch.

What with students smsing asking:

Cher, can i change to shift 1?
Cher, can use kitchen tomorrow?
Cher, do i need to bring butter?
Cher, you open the kitchen door tomorrow morning for me hor..

And colleagues smsing:
Can I confirm that...
Can I swap for...
Can you please update...

And concern parties gently asking:
Are you alright?
Is everything OK?

And a few other missed calls.

I was scheduled to be away on official duty for 2 days but with the turn of events only managed 1.
My hubby's grandmother passed on last Tuesday. She was 96. Good health had not been with her of late. The first generation to my hubby side is now no more.

Dengan pemergian seseorang itu tinggal lah harta dunia nye.

Kebelakangan ini, perkataan 'farait' had been repeatedly used and debated amongst my close circle. And again, I hear the word being used.

Farait: the division of property left by the deceased as according to Muslim law.

After hearing so much issues on this, I accept that this is the way to do things. I terima all that had happened and I bersyukur that it had happened. It opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on character when it comes to property.

I terima seadanya.

I reda dengan apa yang terjadi.

IT HURTS SO MUCH

I FEEL THAT I'VE BEEN STABBED IN THE BACK...

ESPECIALLY BY SOMEONE THAT YOU LEAST EXPECT...

AND IT HURTS...

WHY? WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME?

BUT

ITS OK...

'COS WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND...

WHAT YOU DO TO ME WILL DEFINITELY COMES BACK TO YOU...

THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED KARMA...

Lets Continue

Update 4: Celebrate frens

Simple celebration for a fren's bdae. Did it in the exam room. Then on another occasion went to visit her and share her joy in her new place and to enjoy each other's company as we mark the exam scripts.

What amazes me is her hubby's collection.

Update 5:

We have new members in the family. My wish has been fulfilled. So is Khairi's. (Si sibuk tu)A few of the fishes died when we first put them in the tank. Now more or less they have all settled in nicely.

Catching up

It seems like my blogging life just stopped in April. So here's a brief recap.





Update 1: have been really tied up with my graduating classes practicals. I was trying hard to get it done before they become really tied up with the MT intensive. But with 3 graduating classes in my hand it is actually quite a task to complete all. So I had to come back for the past 2 Saturdays. I have been working on the food order together with Mani my kitchen aide. I really appreciate her help. The students have also become very familiar with her. Some students can really turn to her for help in identifying food. Cos as per normal, students take unfamiliar recipes from the world wide web as their source based. Then they choose recipes based on the photos. Photos that attract them are those that look attractive, appetising and as some wld casually put it' cute..cute' But the most important aspects like methods and ingredients are not considered. So they start looking for ingredients that they have no idea on how they look like. Then they start calling for Auntie Mani.... This year's students have amazingly raised your level of patience and tolerance to an even higher level. A level which you never realised that you are capable of. For example how much of your patience can be tested when they placed the serving dish in the oven to heat up the food, they reduced the recipes to sucha small qty that makes it totally impossible to cook up anything. But with a tinge of miraculous super power, it all turns out wonderfully superb. Now that the intensive programme had begun, I am finding it hard to find a suitable slot for my students. Still hoping for possibilities to get them to complete everything.

I just want to finish my practicals that Im even willing to come back on Vesak day. But then how? Pupils say they want to go temple...haiz haiz haiz.



Update 2: MYE exams way over. Now busy trying to complete marking and marks submission. I meet the deadline for submission and keying in of marks. Just hope that everythings OK. I remembered one year where we finish everything and then the data was not uploaded due to some corrupt thing. Had to redo everything.

Update 3: The HE dept is scheduled down again for another round of making cookies. I looked at the cornflakes cookies. The cookies looked at me. Mcm pernah jumpa gitu eh.. tapi di mana eh? (Lame) But what to do. CIP contribution.

Update 4: Next time..
