That fellow gotta be nuts

if he thought that I was going to let that happen without a fight. Just because I am new doesn't mean that I am a greenhorn or naive, and hell if it means that you can simply change the groups in this competition.

As a teacher I am of the conviction that we are to give moral examples to the students. What about you "kind" Sir?

What morals are you trying to teach my dear Sir? That it is okay to employ shady tricks to ensure others' downfall? That it is acceptable to manipulate the group/division just so that we happen to meet our nemesis earlier? What happened to the casting of the lots done weeks before this? Did you bump your heads and happen to suffer from selective amnesia?

My dear Sir, although you have years of experience, what you did caused me to lose my respect and faith in you. Instead of being role models to newbies like me, you are showing us how low you are willing to sink.

Kesian.

And if you thought that I would silently bear this in silence, you are very wrong. For one, I am stressed and usually when I'm stressed, I'm in combat mode. Did you enjoy how I drilled you and presented my arguments? How about when I questioned your reasons? Did you have as much fun as I did during my verbal combat? (see boys & girls, being involved in debates are beneficial for you, especially to fry someone's ass off!)

One good thing to remember, looks can deceive you.

I'M NOT ALL SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE!

Dah la aku lama dah tak laser melaser orang nih...Peluang mau makan orang nih...Ratah...Ratah...

Note: Going for the semi finals tomorrow. Bringing reinforcement. Haha..Rasakan kau betapa powernya cikgu sekolah aku me'laser' orang. Jadi lah ko swiss cheese dek terkena 'laser-laser' esok

Analyze Me!

Took this test here.
And these are the results that I get. How true it is? Hmm... Let's see

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

>> I guess I am a pragmatist and a peace-maker (until someone crossed/double-crossed me. Then it's bye-bye peace hello war)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

>>> Not (considering) dating anyone anytime soon. So, whatever.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

>>> Never jump without looking first. Unless you want to land chin-deep in crap.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

>>> Ms Independent vs Mr Male-Chauvinist-Pig. Not a good combination.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

>>> Evidentially true.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

>>> Only if I am passionate about doing it. I am a workaholic. I need to be constantly in motion.

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

>>> Not sure about this one. I'd go crazy just staying at home without my work. But I am happy with what I have but hey, something extra would be nice.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

>>> So. Very. True.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

>>> I separate logic from emotions. 2 separate entities for me which is probably why sometimes others accuse me of being unfeeling or harsh... I don't do 'jaga hati'.

Note: I have to write 5 scripts by tonight and here I am, posting something here. Ah, WTF!

Only in 4PV: Besan

Today was just a rather pleasant day for me at work. Just doing stuffs that needed to be done, calling HQ ppl over some mix-ups, calling my students' parents to enquire about their son's prolonged absence from school, completing my report, planning my lessons and etc. Overall, a rather pleasant day.

Both my classes didn't cause me much pain in the you-know-where-region and they were cooperative. Something to do with the moon phase perhaps? My form 5 class was okay and they were at best attentive enough in class (if not they wouldn't be able to do the tasks). We did literature today. The Pearl (Yes, that famous novel with characters frequently mentioned in my students' mid term essays). Apart from the usual lazybums-mangkukhayuns, the rest were doing their best and giving their (easily-distracted) attentions to what we were doing in class.

The best moments of the day happened in my 4PV. I am their homeroom teacher, their mummy-and-evil-stepmother-2-in-1. In this class I have a few mischievous kids (all 23 were boys). Not bad, just being naughty and behaving their age. Some did managed to give headaches (and heartaches) to their teachers although they would not risk making me uber-pissed off with them (nak mampos apa?). Sometimes, I tolerated their cheekiness but with very clear-cut limits and they know what is acceptable or not in my class. So far, no major problems for me.


One of my students was particularly mischievous that I had to give him an ultimatum. Sing or disrupt his lessons and he'll be singing on stage during school assembly. Worked real fine to reduce his disruptive behaviour. Today, when he (accidentally) swore at his friend, I told him that I'll slap his mouth with a book the next time I hear him or any of them using that kind of language in my class. Dasar Mak Tiri betul...

Oh ya, back to my story. During class today, I started the lesson rather smoothly and they were doing their tasks when I heard them teasing each other by calling names. At first I thought it was the age-old calling other's parents game but upon closer scrutiny (and real pasang telinga) I realized that they were calling names of children, their children!!

Something like,
Jesicca anak Jerry, Monica anak Baje, etc.
I can't help but to smile and responded by asking whether they were giving each other's child's name.

Me: Kamu beri nama anak ke ni? Bagus lah, Pilot namakan anak Baje; Baje namakan anak Pilot...

Boy : Betul tu cikgu. Nanti anak mereka sudah besar, anak Pilot kahwin dengan anak Baje. Be'isan' seduai iya...

Me : Hahahahahah...

There were more but let's keep it for another day. yeah? I need to continue my work now..Hehe

Snapshots: Moss at Wind Cave, Bau

Pics taken during my trip to Kuching chaperoning a schoolbus-load of kids. Used a friend's digital camera to capture these images of moss that grow on the trees. I liked the environment here, peaceful and cool (unlike home currently, with my neighbour's crazy dogs barking, yelping, wak-wak-wak incessantly day and night. We're losing our mind over the racket they're making. Stupid dogs and even more stupid-and-deaf owner)

My friend even used these pics as her desktop wallpaper.

What do you think?

The Earth is BIG...

Of all the places in S'wak that I can stay and have the briefing, why does it have to be done in my former workplace? (which is like merely 45 minutes away from home)
Bosan.

On another note, I am very busy with some competitions (trainings and chaperoning) and I have meeting and deadlines to meet for my exam classes. That's why I'll probably be absent/silent at least until the end of this month.

Until then, take care and don't be naughty ya... Don't do what I would not do..Haha
