Cikgu cikgi

happy teachers' day to all malaysian teachers and wannabe-sss.
special tribute to cekgu2 Pasti ar-Raudhah, SK Datuk Haji Baginda, SMAP Labu, and IPBA/IPGM Kampus Bahasa Antarabangsa (lol.. sounds weird.. not used to the new name yet).
cekgu2 QUT too, but oz celebrates teachers' day in october.
and my coursemates esp cohort 4 in oz, nz and uk (semangat la pulak ;p huhu~).
and self-credit to me ;p hehehe.. just a bit of self-reward after all the hard work (konon la kan ;p)... but really, whoever says teaching is easy and oh-jadi-cekgu-pon-nak-anta-oversea-ke seriously needs to stop assuming that only (no offense) doctors and engineers make the world go around :)

btw, nak selit gamba jgk.. as usual.. saye bakal cekgu, insyaAllah.. so im kinda entitled to celebrate this special day jgk kan.. hehe... so-called self reward..
nape suke letak gamba ek?
-sbb saye mmg suke gamba (as in generally, bkn yang milik saye shj)
-sbb letak gamba kat blog mcm lg best dari letak kat fs/fb
-sbb malas nak mengarang panjang2
-sbb nak buat assignmentsss, mengarang is more time consuming dari letak pics (as if letak pics doesnt take up time, and as if i'm not mengarang at this very moment)
jadi, dengan ini saye sertakan gamba2 pengarang sbg seorang guru malaysia ;p *vain-ness*

selamat hari guru

i was bored. and i was looking at some old pics when i figured i could channel this boredom into a bit more healthy and productive “activity”. so this is what i came up with. combining two pieces of my merdeka celebration memory. i know it’s not 31st of august, but don’t we just love malaysia everyday? (awww…)

♣ PERTANDINGAN DIKIR BARAT, 2001, BILIK REHAT ASRAMA PUTERI ♣

(mengikut rentak lagu phir bhi dil hai hindustani. ya, i know. hey, what do you expect? we were kids. a bunch of creative kids ;p ah-ha! sounds better).

Negaraku
Aman sentosa
Negaraku aman sentosa
Rakyatnya bahagia
Bebas dari penjajah-penjajah yang durjana
Kami sayang Malaysia
Kami cinta Malaysia
Kami sayang Malaysia
Kami cinta oh Malaysia

the rest of the lyrics, i don’t remember. any dreamerz can help me with that? (the pics of us berdikir barat are not appropriate for public display, sorry).

♣ SAMBUTAN HARI KEMERDEKAAN PERINGKAT KEBANGSAAN, 2005, PUTRAJAYA ♣

moral of the story: sayangilah malaysia (dan saya bosan)

im sorry again, did shah rukh just solve world poverty and hunger? errr nope, u wish.
did he just unite all the political parties in malaysia? errr nope, great idea though.
did he just discover and save a new species of crocodile and give the honor to zoo melaka to keep it? errr nope, where’s zoo melaka again?
is he even a malaysian? errr nope, and i think we’re all well aware of that.

funny. pardon me. for one second, just one sec, can i say im not from melaka?

State of flux

the degree of my emotional instability is still relatively high

it just wont stop raining

and i need an umbrella





and a flight ticket to malaysia

Bolehkah?

Saya mahu pulang dan beri buah tangan dari Australia kepada babah saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan buat kek-kek kegemaran saya bersama mama saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan berjalan-jalan di Bandar Melaka bersama kak long dan kak uda saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan naik kereta bersama abang ngah saya untuk pulang ke kampung.

Saya mahu pulang dan tanya adam 'adam sayang busu banyak mana?', dan dia akan jawab banyak-banyak macam ni sambil menunjukkan 10 jari tangannya.

Saya mahu pulang dan peluk diinah sampai dia rimas dan menangis.

Saya mahu pulang dan jumpa mikhail dan melihat dia memakai baju bertulis 'if you think i'm cute you should see my aunty'.

Saya mahu pulang dan keluar makan dan berjalan-jalan mengambil gambar bersama kawan-kawan saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan makan masakan mama saya, kak long saya, ikan bakar umbai, ikan bakar telok mas, brownies secret recipe, ayam scud, ayam lada hitam pak lang, dan pelbagai lagi. Saya mahu mencuba untuk tidak menggunakan produk zionis, tetapi saya juga mengidam kfc dan mcdonald.

Saya mahu pulang dan melihatnya. Mereka. Mereka dan keluarga mereka. Dia. Melihat dia.

Saya mahu pulang.

Saya mahu.

Bolehkah?

Again, I’m blogging about sooo last week’s events. Hehe. Tight schedule (tight la sgt). Ramadhan’s here. Alhamdulillah, Brissy may not have a bazaar Ramadhan with ayam percik, nasi tomato, and air kelapa, but it surely teaches me waay beyond what Ramadhan in Malaysia has to offer. Don’t get me wrong, not to say saye dah jd mat saleh n forgot my roots, no darlings. Juz dat when u’re in a place where Ramadhan seems juz like another typical month in the year, u’ll try harder to make the best out of Ramadhan so that it is NOT juz another set of 30 days, it IS Ramadhan, THE Ramadhan. In Malaysia u have everything ready rite in front of ur face, but here u've got to work for it. So u’ll be more likely to appreciate everything here.. Hmm… Hope it’s not too late to wish everybody happy fasting :) and to all of you bloghoppers as well. Hehe…

And of coz, happy belated birthday to my sayang… I love u and miss u soooo mucho2… Wish I could be with you… MALAYSIA…..

Last Monday was my last day at East Brisbane State School for a school observation. We went there every other Monday morning, for 3 times. Well, from my experience there I can easily conclude that I’m MATHEMATICALLY CHALLENGED!! Huhuhu… I was assigned to a Year 7 class, and juz my luck, every Monday morning they have math..
Don’t blame me I’m not naturally bright in math, I have excuses for my “slowness”. These may sound lame, but hey, I’m only human ;p (there, ding dong, one excuse). Ok, I don’t know all the numerical terms in English, I was raised as a melayu sejati, I learnt ABC and 123 with my mother tongue ;p ngehehe.. I’m doing language, tesol, so I’m on Muqaffa’s track, rather than Khawarizmi’s. And, it’s been 4 years since I last did complex math, so it’s been a while my left brain’s in the comfort zone. Now I have to use the calculator even for a simple calculation! And one last excuse, the jalan kerja here is a bit different from what my brain schema has. So you see, nature and nurture complement each other. Hehe nah… Moral of the story is- whatever we learn, be it academically or not, we must make sure we have our intention right. Blaja krn Allah, bkn sbb nak exam or org suro… huhu… And yes, practice makes perfectosss :)

After came back from school, I submitted my photomedia assignment. One of the themes is abstraction. Mari teka apekah benda di dalam gamba di bawah ini? Sape dpt teka die pandai ;p heee~ Jawapan akan diberi in the next post, iA… Kamu2 yg sudah tahu jawapannye dilarang meneka... lalala~

p/s to my Ukhti Ramadhan, whoever u are, if u’re reading this, selamat berpuasa ok :)

"wahai orang2 yang beriman! diwajibkan atas kamu berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas orang sebelum kamu agar kamu bertaqwa" (2:183)
