I'm a Coach

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

HFDS - The Coach

Humanity, Foreground, Detail, and Shape

You perceive the world with particular attention to humanity. You focus on what's in front of you (the foreground) and how that is affected by the details of life. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on humanity, you tend to seek out other people and get energized by being around others. You like to deal directly with whatever comes your way without dealing with speculating possibilities or outcomes you can't control. You are highly focused on specific goals or tasks and find meaning in life by pursuing those goals. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

The Interview


I've been busy the past few days. One of the reason is that I am going for my pelantikan interview, the first step in being in the teaching profession with the gomen la...
I have to admit that I was a bit nervous after listening to horror stories of those who went to theirs. Meremang bulu dengar cerita sidak nya... Ney nok kenak terais, kena anuk...adohai....
It's certainly not helping that I was busy with work-related stuffs also but two days before the interview, i put other things on hold (to hell with what happen la) so that I could concentrate on the preparations for the interview. So many documents to photocopy and get my boss to sign. Senior teachers in my school and my colleagues were very supportive with their prayers, tips and kata2 penyedap hati..Hehehe...Thanks peeps.
A small miracle happened. The night before the interview I was surfing for some information related to the interview that I suddenly had this nagging urge to find information about cluster schools. You know what? That's one of the question that my interviewer asked me... Praise the Lord!
In my opinion, I was able to do quite well in the interview since I could answer and communicate my views to the interviewer. Apart from goreng2 one of my answers la..He asked me which principle of KBSM that I used and how do I use it in my teaching. I was thinking, "Damn, what the hell?" Then to get more time to think I politely asked him to repeat his question since I'm not understanding clearly... Phewww... Saved my cute arse just in time (I think I got it right since I glanced at what he was writing and I get a decent score for that question)... Hahaha
When I asked the teachers in my school, they also don't know the answer... o.O
The other questions were relatively simple and straightforward... Hope I aced it.
After the interview, I went to eat at KFC@Sanyan before going to Farley to get this...

Smiles ^____^

Introducing: Octavius Saran


My sis in law delivered a healthy bouncy baby boy yesterday morning at 5.45 am... Baby Octavius Saran weighed 3.39kg and both Mum and baby is doing well ^__^

The whole clan is ecstatic with the new arrival as the last 'baby' is already in Standard 1. My dad is particularly happy (and proud) since Mum remarked that the baby has his forehead..hehe. My brother gave my Dad and I the honour by naming the baby after our suggestions. So,we have Octavius (since he's born in October) Saran (my Dad named him after one of my great grandfathers)...

I love the smell of babies. They have this pleasant smell, especially after their bath, that if I can bottle it and sell it as perfume, I'd be filthy rich. Hehe...

Say Hi to Baby Octavius Saran ^__^ Cuddly kissable cheeks..Hehe

My Worst Nightmare

To tell you the truth (an embarrassing one that is), a visit to the Dentist is a nightmare for me. Which explains why I haven't gotten myself to start wearing braces. I have uneven teeth as well as a few 'extra' ones here and there. Recently though, I have started thinking of getting dental braces for myself. Not just for aesthetic purposes but also for professional purpose. Why? Since I am teaching language, I need to properly enunciate the sounds to enable the students to correctly pronounce the words. As it is, I have problems in pronouncing the /t/ sound.

So today we had a talk on Dental Care by Dr. Anto Wasono, a dentist with the local dental clinic. After the talk, we were given free dental checks where we can schedule an appointment for follow up treatment. As I was standing in line, I was chanting "Think happy thoughts, Think happy thoughts" to myself over and over again. Flashes of painful experience visiting the dentist when I was a child (and one that involves 6-year-old me punching the daylights out of the dentist). Aiyo, bergegar rasa lutut... But I have to put a brave front in front of my colleagues and some were very supportive (Thanks peeps!).

When it was my turn I informed Dr. Anto that I'm planning to get dental braces and would like to know how many teeth has to be extracted before the procedure can be done. He is a very friendly and nice dentist. So, he pried and prodded my teeth and he informed me something that I feared the most;

" Your wisdom tooth is infected. You'd have to get it extracted."

Oh no! That will require dental surgery where they will cut open my gum and break the tooth into pieces before extracting it. Reading it makes you wince already kan?

"Hmm... To get braces done you will need to extract two from the upper jaw and another two from your lower jaw. First we will do scaling for you to remove the calculus (it's the hard deposit on the teeth not the mathematics lah! See, I do learn something from the talk.. Hehe) and next we will extract the extra tooth in your lower jaw. It is useless and will only make it difficult for you to effectively clean your teeth."

Argh!!! Cabut gigi?! The only way I can muster enough grit to get my tooth extracted is to bring my Dad along. He's the only one who can make me lemah lutut and submit to the torture extraction procedure. Huhuhu... Nanges!
