30 June 2009. As I was waiting at my desk, there was a proclamation by Tuanku Selvaraja....as presented by some prefects...;p
"En Niza; Relief for 2F, 2G, 1C, 1D and 1E for Pn Yusniza and En Subra...."
Subjects? Hehe.."Pendidikan Seni, Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Tamil"...LOL..
Earlier on, I had my lunch with Kak Zana and Ifa. Burp, Alhamdulillah... Then, Nithia approached me, smiling... She commented something about my necktie; "Cikgu, awak punye tie besar...tapi awak kecik..." I laughed...LOL...
Had a little chat with Pn Nirmala...she's the morning teacher who sits next to me... She is an animated person...lively!...cute as well!... She also speaks perfect BM! I was also greeted by Ms Yee Fun...she taught me Mandarin today...I only replied.."Wo bu zhi dao.." Hehe..then she taught me again...Shi..I wanted to ask "Ni hui shuo ying yu ma?" to her..ahax..but..I forgot...;p
My first stop was 2F... It's PS time. Pn Yus already assigned me to teach them using the textbook...HUH? Me, teaching PS? Hehe.. I just read and explained a bit about Chapter 7 "Harmoni"...
The next stop was also Pn Yus' class; 2G. It's BM. I actually got to know Fikri a bit well... He's a good boy actually... Fikri originally comes from Ketereh, Kelantan. He has a deep passion for Indie's fashion... I like his hair...and also his gorgeous eyes. Then, meet Alina... She's the one with thick eyeliner (celak kot). She loves Math..she always asks me to teach her how to solve Mathematical problem...cute though... Suddenly, Pn Asiah (PK1) came in and asked them to clean the class...cute.
At 4.10pm, I had a class with 2D. English time! Today, I have turned myself into a witch...muahahahahaha... I was teaching in front and the students were silent, opening their Book 3 and jotted down notes...WOW..that was like a double WOW already! The truth is, I used the secret weapon; THE ORANGE BOOK. They were really scared of that book... I can penalize them for disrupting the T&L process... I am so happy!
The next stop was 1C. Bahasa Tamil. Yes, it's Yunothan's class...Hey, I have made myself new friends. Meet Jeevan, Singh, Gayathiri and Dinesvaran! They were so nice for teaching me Tamil! Seriously! I was planning to play a game...instead, they taught me Tamil. Nandri guys! "Tayawu sehithu amaithiyaga erungal!" It means: "Tolong senyap (formal)"
Overall, I must say...I am happy today. It's a blessing in disguised, I think. I am getting used to this...I don't really care even if I fail... All I know is: I am having such good times with my students...;p
That's all for today...;p
Toodles..;p

Week 3, Day 1...H.E.A.V.E.N & H.E.L.L ;p
29 June 2009. Yezza...tomorrow is the last day.........of June. Today? Hmm... I was prepared for the worst (honestly speaking), I think...well, not really....;p
Ok, while I was parking my car, I saw Nithia...(err, she was waiting for me...SMILING). I smiled back...and I have blocked Ms Shafiza's and Ms Abyan's cars....sorry missiez... I also did some minor preparation for my first class....
12.30pm. I have almost forgotten that there's a weekly assembly on Monday... I went there with Ifa and sat myself on the 2nd row... Ms Ashikin was talking about her duties (Guru bertugas). Ms Abyan presented her open quiz for 'Minggu Teknik & Vokasional'. Mr Hijazi talked about some disciplinary update and the previous 'Hari Usahawan'. Pn Hjh Mawarni talked about...err...almost the same thing...
I was a bit shocked when Ifa passed me the relief duty book. I had to handle the Bahasa Tamil class (2F & 2G). I had a plan in my mind..hehe..language games...;p
My first stop was 2C. H.E.A.V.E.N! Seriously! I was satisfied! No anti-climax or whatever africates for my lesson...cool. I love them! I love Mr Genius, Mr Gentleman, Mr Handsome, Man Man, Izzuddin, Farid, Acap, Hairian, Shakila, Shahirah, Cecelia...all of them la!!! I carried my lesson thoroughly...and I will do a simple test this Wednesday for mastery... The girls: "Ala sir, proceed with the next chapter la (Chapter 9)...please....". Ayyo....
Suddenly, there was a businessman who came all the way from India to promote the "Indian Art"...cool tho...especially when he gave me the flower (Lotus). Mr Genius kept for himself ok..as soon as I passed him the flower... Unfortunately, my students did not have any money to buy such beautiful art... I'm sorry sir...;(
The next stop was on my 5th period; before recess. It's Tamil class. I was planning to play some language games with them... They said; "Kami mau blajar Tamil cikgu...(In Tamil)"..I said; "Poruwaley.."...They stared at me... Actually, it was wrong.. It was supposed to be; "pooriyaley (I don't understand)"...When I said the exact word, they said; "You sound so cute la, say it again!" and again and again..haiz. At the end, they taught me Tamil...Tiagu was so excited teaching me Tamil...thanx anyway guys...cute though...;p
Nithia followed me to the teacher's room (As usual)... She suddenly gave me a gift which I believe she made by herself... It's a name bracelet (threads). Thanx Nithia... All in a sudden, Cikgu Najwa asked Nithia; "Eh Nithia, kenapa saya selalu nampak awak kat sini?"..Nithia: "Err, saya cari cikgu...(with her gelabah-ness)". LOL.
My last stop was 2D. H.E.L.L...Naa, I was joking. Surprisingly, it turned out to be ok... They were 22 minutes late for my class! They were from the computer lab. Darn... I wrote my plan on the board... I gave them 3 questions; "a. Games, b. Gossip, c. Story"... When they walked in, all of them said "A!...B!...". Fine, I did a vocabulary builder game by using "The Phantom of the Opera words (complicated)".
Goh Mei Kha is the smartest...as I was informed by Thivaagaran. Fine. She managed to answer most of my HARD questions except one last question... She finally gave up...joined by Shin Jin and the geng later on (sigh). I knew a fact that Joanne Aquila is also a smart girl..unfortunately, she was not there! Double Sigh. Period.
Tomorrow? Yes, I have a new weapon... Today, Thivaagaran informed me about THE ORANGE BOOK aka THE PENALTY BOOK! I have consulted Mr Hijazi and he taught me on how to use it..Ok... This is the game you want me to play guys..Don't blame me for this...T_T...I am crossing my fingers that it'll work.
I hope I will keep on smiling.... Yes, I am finally enjoying my teaching! Yippie!!!! ;p
Toodles ;p

Week 2, Day 4, 5 & 6....busy busy busy...
25 June 2009. Nothing much happened today... Actually, I am trying a lil bit harder to recall my days since 25...errr.... Ok, I am lost...
Oh yeah, I did some relief classes and urgh.... the kids....they are just kids ayte... If only I can change their mind setting...that would be quite an accomplishment for me...
Today, I received another love letter from d Malay girl.... Now, it's two pinky love ok...in pink colored ink...ayya... I looked around (to see if there's any teachers there) and I slowly walked to the bin...swoosh...I threw it away without even reading it.... Don't get me wrong, I love getting letters from my fans (TQ, TQ...doing a Diana-alike hand waving to the audience)...ahax...NOTE: Ini bukan kenyataan separa perasan ok...Ia betul2 terjadi! Dang me!
Today, I had my meal during the kid's recess period... Had a good laugh with Cikgu Anwar, Ifa and a counseling teacher....
I walked to the teacher's room, passing through the office...Guess what, the lil Ms Stalker was there; Nithia... Haiz... She followed me though..SERIOUSLY! At the teachers room, she started to talk about her things.....gazillion of things! Pheww...Baiklah Nithia..."Hey, aren't u suppose to b in class now?".."Xpe cikgu, itu Geography aa, sy banyak x suke...sy x suke itu cikgu... Sy suke itu BM,BI,Math and Science jugak....bile cikgu nak masuk kelas saye?"..."Nithia, I was just a relief teacher that day la...so I wont be teaching you...anyway, Meor mane?".."Mane saye tau.."
Ifa, can you please help me???? Can somebody offer me a lifeline??? Ahahahhaha... Before I checked out from school, she waited there..and gave me some sweets...ahahahaha...
......
26 June 2009. Sigh. The first observation could not be done today...we did not have classes today due to the preparation for Hari Usahawan thingy... Dang. Had to cancel everything with Cikgu Azhar...sorry ye cikgu..maybe next week plak...
I was a bit relieved I think...coz I did not have to teach Moral and BI today...Yippie I think..?! But..it was darn boring..because I had nothing to do besides 'strolling' around the school...Pastu g canteen makan-makan with Nuar and Ifa...
Suddenly Mr Selva personally asked us to join the feast in the teacher's lounge.... Ok la...I had too much food today... Pandai sungguh cikgu2 kat sini masak... Actually, the jamuan was dedicated to Mr Subra who will start his official work as a BPG Officer this Monday (29 June 2009). Congrats sir! and... This means: More relief works for us; the prac teachers...Uwaaa....I hope his replacement teacher will come ASAP..S.O.S!
Burp...Alhamdulillah..konyang den... Then, there was an assembly to sort things out for students (regarding tomorrow's event; 2009 SMKSI Hari Usahawan day). I left the school a bit early today...and again, Nithia gave me some sweets before I drove home..Jangan jeles Ifa..T_T..LOL.
"Poruwaley!"...It means.."I don't understand" in Tamil.. Thanks guys...
That's for 26 June.
.....
27 June 2009. The day! OMG..I had to wake up super early...I had to be there by 7.30AM... I was informed earlier that Cikgu Zana would be joining us to go to school...but, she canceled and texted me: "Xpe la niza, akak pegi dgn kwn akak, tapi nak tumpang niza balik bole?"..Of course, no problema Kak Zana!
As we reached there, we were surprised! Y? Ifa and I were the only teachers who wore complete sets of track bottoms! Ayya..malunye...da macam student pun ade...LOL...later, Ika pun sampai and thank goodness, she joined the club..except she's wearing slippers...X aci....
The perasmian thingy sucks! Seriously...with the speakers out of function..Adoi...segannye aku kat VVIP..eh? Nape plak aku lebih2 ni???? LOL.
I was assigned earlier to handle Kelas Peralihan's booth, together with Kak Azah... Unfortunately, they (the kids) 'handled' themselves pretty well... Adoi... Kids...what can I say... They PLAY games the best! Kesian Kak Azah...she had to ask her husband to help...
Later, I walked around and I was greeted by my students....cute. Double cute when Shahirah said it out loud! Debish...LOL.
While walking, looking for possible breakfast items, Nuar and I were 'grabbed' by Puan Rokiah to handle Cikgu Jais' booth... Aiyya... Appa inni???? She said; "Kejap aje..." Hnsh, so much for sekejap..I had to take turns with Ifa n Nuar.... The game was.."Teka Biji Labu"... So far, we managed to collect RM27 (9 X RM3) from the public... Tak balik modal pun!!!... I wonder where were 4F students when their booth was there?????
Hey, I have made friends with some of Ifa's students; Firdaus and Faiz...cool kids... Banyak plak soalan personal yang dorang tanye... Ape nak buat labu....Da nasib...
Yes...NITHIA. Terserempak pun dgn dy... Gedebish for me! She even introduced me to her 3 sisters ok..That's 3 TALL girls..n slim...cool... Fine by me...(Tepakse control macho; macho ke masalahnye?) Muahahahahaha.....
Meor and Faiz pn ade...comel je dorang main anak patung...Pssst, don't ask me why!... Later in the evening, I was visited by my colleagues from much superior schools such as La Salle and Seafield.... Thanx Tjul, Nazri, Piee and Fatin for the support... Oh yeah, Pn Hjh Mawarni (The principal) personally asked me to deliver her thankful wishes for you guys....So thank you guys! ;p
Time to go home...It's nearly 5pm already... So we headed home... Kaz Zana and her friend joined us....so, they had to lead the way..huhu....;p Mujurlah, Kak Zana pnye business balik modal...kalu x??? I have no idea what will happen if they don't....
That's all for 27 June...It's a tiring day... Tetibe nak nyanyi lagu, "Working 9 to 5" by Dolly Parton....
p/s - X jadi tgk Transformers smalam coz I overslept...EXHAUSTED. ;p

Week 2, Day 3... Cool ;p
24 June 2009. Oh boy, I knew it...since last night! I know one fact for sure that I would be having loads of relief classes to handle...and I was right... Thank you Mr Selva. ;p
First stop was 2G....oh yeah, my stalker walked in the teachers room and had a lengthy chat with me...about lots of things...you have no idea!!! My life here is getting more challenging days by days....gosht..
2G...Hmmm.. I was replacing Pn Irtiza for Math... Phewww.. I gave them some questions based on their syllabus...(thank goodness I still knew how to solve the mathematical problems..haha)... There was this one Malay girl; Alina.. She was so excited as I gave some IQ games...haha...
Alina ni...jenis yang x puas hati kalu dy x dapat jawapan betul.... I was informed that she loves math..no wonder...hahha... She managed to answer the first test...Nevertheless, nobody gave me the right answer for Question 2! The answer is 20, people! 20! Not 16 or 18! Susah jugak la nak handle dorang ni...sebab pas sorang sorang datang kat depan tanye macam mane kire....ahahahaha..Ponat den menjawab...
Then, my next stop was...err... 1 C and E...it's Moral! Pheeeww... Susah jugak nak handle class ni sbab dorang suke buat bising and merayau-rayau...(ni kelas Ifa). The twins were there, Gayathri ade, Meary Anne ade, Yonathan ade, Low Kah Lun ade...checked...tu yang problematic sket... Ok la... Then I taught them "Unit 14"... Sape cakap ngaja dalam bahasa melayu senang????? Meh sini aku nak bagi pelempang! Susah!!!!
Ayyo...next stop was 2 C,D and E for Moral... It's Mr. Arud's classes. But, I walked out smiling when I finished with the classes because I managed to control them! It's easy, I played "Wonderword"... Throughout the two periods, many had given up...ahahahaha.. I knew it..they finally surrender...kuang3...EXCEPT two Chinese girls... I gave them some tokens...huhu.. congratulation guys for solving the puzzle.... Yang aku herannye, dorang senyap while solving the puzzle...cool...
Then, it's recess time... But, I could not go for a bite because, I had a class right after the recess.... Another relief...ayyo...
Next stop was my English class with 2C... Ayya, I wonder why they took quite some time to perform their prayers... Were they playing or fooling me around??? I don't know... I strictly lied to them; "Class (Shouting), this Friday, there will be someone from kementerian who will be observing u, how u behave etc...(whatever crap ntah aku ngarot td...)" Yang x bole blah tu, they bought it..totally...so they have promised me to behave....we'll see la macam mane nanti..(The truth is, Dr Izaham nak datang) ;p
Da start hafal name-name manje dorang dah ni... Acap, Pian, Man Man, Gentleman, amer, gan, hairian, kok, lokman, farid, din, anje (raje azreen), hang chiao....errm sape lagi ek...o yea, sanggeetha, clara, cecelia, shahirah, syakila...alamak da x ingat...darn....
Being a teacher offers you to see the colorful life of human beings...yes, I 100% agree!
Ok, that's all for now...
p/s - Terharu bile student cakap kelas cikgu niza happening...uwaaaa...T_T....

Week 2, Day 2...Ignoring method or Silent treatment???
23 June 2009. 2D was a mess... I spent nearly 15 minutes just to get them setting up straight the class..."Tolong bersih kelas skarang!"... Gedebum gedebam...abis 15 minit...tinggal lagi 15 minutes...
7 students went missing...(sigh)...why???? why???? Don't they like me? "Ok, ko xnak belajar??? Fine, aku pn xnak ngaja...buat la ape korang suke...". n the class went haywire....they were loud...speaking in Tamil and Chinese....I just stared at them with Anwar at the back... I walked around, asking them what they were doing... (double sigh).
Krrringgg....That's the end of my class with 2D..Practically NOTHING! I am still studying on how to get them interested with English.... FYI, budak2 2D ni treats English like rubbish! They don't even have the gut to try..."I don't mind if you speak broken English!", "I don't care as long as you try!!!" I am a dead meat...
I had 3 relief classes today! Two English classes and an IT class... I took the IT students to the computer lab and I taught them Module 3.2 Microsoft Word - Saving Document..(Form 1F)... Susah sangat.... Most of them did not even know how to click "Start" button on the desktop... Susah jugak tu.. and I swear to God, Sharip Dol tu sangat bising!!!! Kuat betul suare die....
2G and 2E were hard as well..but they learned...at least..... and I started my silent treatment with 2D today...and I think it started to show some response.... Hmmm...ko da layan aku mcm tu, now ur expecting me to treat you d way I treat other classes??? When u started to mess around with me... I don't care...be it u'r anak raje ke, anak sultan whatever ke, kacang ke, panjang ke...whatever la....I DON'T CARE! Lantak ko la....
Attitude is something I can handle... Rudeness+Mannerless+Making Fun of Me+Distracting my PnP+Stupid act???? Those are what I can't handle! Do you know how tiring it is for me to shout everytime I walk in your class????? Fine, you want me to play your game? Bring it on...count me in....
"Cikgu, cikgu ni pendek macam budak umo 7 tahun la..." Yeah...no kidding.... I managed to smile and synically lauged for a minute or two...then, I became a hopeless+helpless person.. I didn't know what to do.... I am mentally and physically tired...seriously I am!
I'd rather fail myself now than being crossed out by my supervisor.... 2D???? I never wished for them to be my students... I guess, this is my payment...for my previous sins to my teachers.... Adoi....
I hope I can survive.... I keep telling myself; "They are just children....they are just children.." Until when???? Budak2 zaman skarang da x same mcm dulu...jauh sangat beza dorang.... I am a dead meat....
I heard tonnes of stories regarding my 2D class.... A lot of teachers cried because of them.... Why???? I believe I don't have to mention it again....
I am just waiting for my days to fail...ade rezeki, ade la...kalu xde, nak buat mcm mane...it's not my time kot... Aku sedey sangat...jeles dgn my housemates yang dapat budak2 bagus..especially Tajul, Naz, Piee and Duang.... I feel like screaming and cry.....
Tomorrow is another they... They are just children. I shall not be so mean and cruel to them..Am I????? IDTS.......IMHO, I am somewhere in between friendly<->unfriendly..... I hope I wont cry....
That's all for now....... I am tired...
p/s - Woiii.. H1N1 da masuk Shah Alam....wtf????? Da dekat sangat ni....ayyo.......I am scared...
7 students went missing...(sigh)...why???? why???? Don't they like me? "Ok, ko xnak belajar??? Fine, aku pn xnak ngaja...buat la ape korang suke...". n the class went haywire....they were loud...speaking in Tamil and Chinese....I just stared at them with Anwar at the back... I walked around, asking them what they were doing... (double sigh).
Krrringgg....That's the end of my class with 2D..Practically NOTHING! I am still studying on how to get them interested with English.... FYI, budak2 2D ni treats English like rubbish! They don't even have the gut to try..."I don't mind if you speak broken English!", "I don't care as long as you try!!!" I am a dead meat...

Week 2, Day 1...I am a dead meat...
22 June 2009. Pheeww....what a tiring day! That's all I can say...physically and mentally... Seriously.... Truthfully speaking, I am just waiting to fail my training days...
Urghhh... 2D is really driving me crazy...nope, beyond crazy! Everytime I walk into that classroom, I am a dead meat! Both literally and figuratively! Eat my words: I AM DYING! S.O.S!
I shouted! It worked for a while..Then, they started walking around, picking fights and making lots of noise!!!! I can't live this way..... I just can't! Now, who says life's fair??? My original plan was to teach them Chapter 8 "A Healthier You"...BUT, they were so loud!!! I really could not teach within that atmosphere! The thing is: When I shout, my mood to teach automatically fades away! That's a fact! I felt guilty just now to those who really wanted to learn.... Tomorrow is another day..I guess... T_T
2C? Slightly better I guess... They actually behave and want to learn... I don't have to shout much with them... O yeah, Dr Izaham is coming in to observe me this Friday... Again, I am a dead meat.... T_T
My heart? Hmm...aku da tawar hati masuk kelas 2D...rase nak mati pun ade....why???? Why???? Sampai hati dorang buat aku macam ni....... T_T
Today, I have found out that someones are stalking me... The students.... An Indian girl and a Malay girl...OMG... * Ini bukan kenyataan yang berbaur perasan ok...You can ask Ifa yourself if you don't believe me.... Gosht.... I am there to teach la..... Again, I am so dead... I really can't focus everytime you glance at my class just to watch me.... "Ayyo..... Please spare me some room..I need to breathe... Jangan la kamu masuk bilik guru semata-mate nak tanye soalan pelik2 and...seriously, nak mintak tukar coin???? Huh??? What on earth was that???" I bet she could not care less....janji dapat sembang2 and pegang aku... I'm only human la....
Yang Malay girl plak; "Cikgu2 ape name cikgu?".."Huh, nape dgn name saye?".."Xde la...jarang dengar..."Abis tu, kamu nak buat ape dgn name saye?".."Saye nak anta surat kat cikgu..."...Aku pun buat muke....seriously guys, pick someone your age please...I am too old for u la...Haiz...
Yeay, esok x kene handle aerobic...lucky me...but I already knew that I will have lotsa relief classes tomorrow....darn.... Can you spare some love for me Mr. Selva??? Pleaseee...(wink wink). Naaa..... Plus, I got a class with 2D tomorrow.... Macam mane la aku nak prepare (physically and mentally)??? They just don't want to learn...
Now? I have to say..I am prepared already..in case if I fail my practicum... It's 2D man!!! All teachers are complaining about that class... It's the centre of 'bullies' and 'gangsters'... Lubuk hantu...literally!!!! Again, I am soooooo dead.... T_T
Aku da patah hati nak tulis lesson plan for 2D esok....tengokla macam mane...How could you guys...T_T......
Toodles for now...T_T

Curi daripada Piee ;p
This is a very nice poem written by an African kid (according to Piee) and I've grabbed this poem from Piee's page...(jangan marah Piee)... Very nice...
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow,
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in Sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me colored?
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow,
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in Sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me colored?

My fifth and sixth day...dats a wrap for week 1...;p
19 June 2006. Hmmm...grrr....anxiously waiting for my 2C and 1C classes... Oh God...I got a relief with 2D today...hampeh tol.... How could they play football when the teacher was in the classroom? Sukhdev...siap kau...
I gave them some games...easy, really. It was a spot the diff game.... Sukhdev Singh was so eager to know every meaning of each word... It's tiring though to explain in simple English and finally, I had to use BM...haiz.... There were some boys missing...what to do? What to do?
That was my second period of the day... Next stop was 2C... I played a language game with them...and I could see the Chinese boys were finally speaking! Finally...what took you so long guys? And the Indian girls took part as well...unlike before...everytime, it's Shahirah... Oh goody, Shahirah is way too noisy....n she loves to talk....ayyo...
My next stop was 1C for Moral...ayya. Mary Anne and her besty took me away from 2C..they said, it's their time! What to do? Job calling... I was teaching them Chapter 13...it's about family... When I asked them what Mr Hijazi has taught, they said; "Cikgu Hijazi tak pernah ajar pun, dy slalu suruh salin from buku text..."... What to do? What to do? There was some misunderstanding with Pendidikan Agama today...my class (Moral) has always been in 1C...Suddenly, there was a teacher asked us to move to 1E because the PI girls were going to use 1C...Ok ok...Then Mr Selva told us to go back to 1C and never to move outside...it has always been that way...kan...luckily, I was saved by Mr Selva...I was right...it's just a misunderstanding..
The thing is; I only have 1 period for moral on Friday..but they eagerly told me that it's a double period class... Huh????! My schedule clearly stated a single period... Now I see..they just wanted to make me stay... I was sorry..but I had to monitor the Dewan usage for Qiyamullail programme...
Before I checked out, Meor shouted from below; "Cikgu Niza, kate nak datang????". I just waved because ade ustazah time tu...hoho... Then I dropped by to inform the ustazah that I would be late (I had to send Ifa home first).
Ok, I reached the school (again) around 9pm... There was a ceramah motivasi with YB Ust M. Zamri (from Jakim). I walked in the hall n sat for a while... Then, Pn Hjh Mawarni offered me to have dinner at the canteen.. Ok la...nice.. Rice with chicken curry and some acar n...can't remember... Then I went back in to the hall...burp...Alhamdulillah...
On the way out (for supper), Meor and Faiz 'touched' my hands, saying; "Oh, ade pun cikgu...tak perasan pulak tadi..." Gosht they were so cute.... Ape la ko Meor, aku kat belakang la...same saiz dgn students...ahahahaha..we were both laughing... Pastu gi makan mee sup plak...banyak plak aku makan malam tadi...hmmm...
There were also some KISAS boys handling the qiyamullail... They thought I am a student there...yeah, no kidding. Those marv'lous proper boys were very skillful except when getting students to sleep... I joined group 9 (Ini group meor n some of my students from 2C and 2D)..cool..lepas taaruf, sembang2 kejap...(I was wondering where's Anwar within that time). Macam macam diborakkan..penat melayan kerenah budak2, especially Meor and Farid!
20 June 2009.
Later, the lights were off around 12am. There were uncontrollable noise level till Mr Amly came in...Dorang ni memang takut kat Cikgu Amly...garang sunggoh! Within my group, we were laughing when Meor sang us "Makhluk Tuhan Paling Sexy" which was joined by Faiz later on... Wasn't that cute??? Suddenly they started to zikir n sing some nasyeed songs...cool... But, Meor x berhenti-henti cakap...tepakse la kitorang layan...one story lead to another...and another....n he asked if he could hug some1 last nite..I told him; "Go n hug the tiang la if ur scared Meor...." Ahahahhaha.... Oh yeah, correction..name betul Meor is: Meor Zhaiful Hanafi, not Meor Mohd Hanafi..my mistake...;p
The hall was very loud...up till 4.05am!!! I could not sleep...pity to abang2 KISAS...sbab dorang pn x dapat tido...Geram kat budak2 form 4 n 2 yang bising......sangat!!!! I shouted..n it only worked for what...two minutes??? Ayyo.... then came the qiyamullail part around 4.30am... There was an ustaz handling the session...He's kinda young...
After Subuh, we had the Kuliah Subuh session...I had to be fierce...and forcing students not to sleep...but they slept anyway... So I snapped their pixx...(I was also in-charged of the photography session during the programme). Padan muke korang...pengetue da marah2...n I already snapped ur photos...Ape la nak jadi dgn korang ni??????
After having my breakfast there (nasi lemak) with my students, I changed my kain pelikat... Believe it or not: I haven't took my shower yet...up to this minute...ahahahahaha...
Pastu, sembang2 dengan Ms Liza... Tolong dy letak ointment kat Kuning, Manje and Kelabu...ahahahahha....
When I drove through the gate, I saw Meor and Faiz...(I assumed they were waiting for their parents..) I offered them a ride...Meor said; "Takpela cikgu, saye nak balik main game...." Ahahahaha... Ok la...looked like it's going to rain...and it's raining now...
Now I have to take my shower...huhu...c ya round..
Toodles ;p

My Fourth Day...seronok dari semalam...
18 June 2009. I woke up around 8.20am and I took my shower. I went to Ah Meng's to photocopy my backup lessons. Boy oh boy, becoming a teacher really drills out a hole in my wallet...
I checked in around 12pm... I got a meeting in the meeting's room sharply at 12.30pm. Oh before that, Pn Hjh Mawarni told me; "Cantiknye baju batik Cikgu Niza ni...". I smiled...ahahaha... Then Pn Asiah told me the same thing... Seriously guys, what's with my batik??? It's just a typical baju batik which everyone wears...hmmm....
That was not about it... In the teacher's room, Mr Selva Manogen also said the same..I wonder why wasn't he wearing batik today...Haha... Then I went to the library....Yucks...the smell....urgh....teringat kenangan lalu ketika aku masih seorang pelajar sekolah menengah...

Wah, my name also came out in the meeting...hehe..basically it's about the caning system...cool... I got the approval from the principal, Mr Hijazi and also Mr Selva (Ifa's mentor). But I don't think that I am going to use it anyway.... I don't feel that's the best way to handle my students (especially 2D). I'll just keep it for now (in case something bad might happen).
Later, I was a bit depressed because I could not carry my lesson out... The students had to stay in the hall. They had some talk or something given by some teachers.. I think it's about their coupon (Hari Usahawan) thingy.. I don't know... Next time, I'll take my students away from the hall and start my lesson in the class (where it should be).
Because of that, I had to lepak-lepak at the library... Came to my surprise, Meor was lepak-lepaking there as well... How come? Wasn't he suppose to be in the hall... Nevermind... Aku pun malas nak amik tau pasal bende tuh..SO, aku buat dunno je la... Then, kitorang main dam..n sembang sembang.. He introduced me to his best friend; Faiz. Muhd Faiz is a very shy boy... comel je dorang ni same size jalan-jalan sane sini...boring agaknye... Who am I kidding? They need to be taught, not be kept in the hall! Oh yeah, Faiz ni budak Form 2E while Meor is in 2F...Name Meor is..Meor Mohd Hanafi or something...nice name.
Yes, today aku dah tau name cikgu paling cantik kat skolah tu..Her name is Miss Abyan Ayuni. Sweet name... Miss Ayuni is from Kerteh, Terengganu.. She drives Satria Neo; TAT XXXX...darn, am I a stalker? Huhu.... Cikgu Ayuni ni kalau jalan, satu koridor bau dy pnye perfume...Students pun slalu ngorat dy ni...maklumla orang cantik...ahahahaha...
Miss Shafiza and Miss Shikin gave me some useful tips when writing my lesson plan.. Thank you cikgu-cikgu... Kak Yus pulak dok mengadu pasal berat die yang da naik...haiz... gossips in the teachers room...banyak betul...ahax...;p
Later, I had a relief class for 2E and 2F. It's PE time...seronok tengok dorang seronok main.. OMG, it's Meor's class...Hampeh tol... Anyway, I have made a new friend with Nithia. Her name is Nithiaswaribasweer...or something like that... She taught me how to say: "My name is niza" in Telugu language... FYI, she's not an Indian, I quote; "Cikgu, saye bukan India...saye macam India tapi bukan..." Cool...At least I learned something new today... ;p
Hmm...tadi terpakse la layan si Meor and Faiz ni borak borak pasal program esok...(I have to join as well...) "Meor, Meor...kenape la kamu ni banyak cakap...???"..."Ala, biase la cikgu, cikgu x suke ke???"...Haiz...ape la nasib aku ni...tak cukup garang ke aku ni??? Anyway, Meor ni anak bongsu from 7 adik beradik... He lives in Kampung Jawa, behind the school...at the slum area....
I am glad that Cikgu Hijazi, Cikgu Selva and Cikgu Arud keep on checking on how we are doing in teaching... They care..OMG, rase nak nangis (T_T), terharu jek.... First thing which came out from Mr Selva today was.."Niza, Ok? How are you today?" Cool...
That's all for now...
P/s-I'll update later... Tomorrow? IDTS..I have to attend the Qiyamullail programme..and I am spending a nite there...cool...;p
Toodles :p

Wah, my name also came out in the meeting...hehe..basically it's about the caning system...cool... I got the approval from the principal, Mr Hijazi and also Mr Selva (Ifa's mentor). But I don't think that I am going to use it anyway.... I don't feel that's the best way to handle my students (especially 2D). I'll just keep it for now (in case something bad might happen).
Later, I was a bit depressed because I could not carry my lesson out... The students had to stay in the hall. They had some talk or something given by some teachers.. I think it's about their coupon (Hari Usahawan) thingy.. I don't know... Next time, I'll take my students away from the hall and start my lesson in the class (where it should be).
Because of that, I had to lepak-lepak at the library... Came to my surprise, Meor was lepak-lepaking there as well... How come? Wasn't he suppose to be in the hall... Nevermind... Aku pun malas nak amik tau pasal bende tuh..SO, aku buat dunno je la... Then, kitorang main dam..n sembang sembang.. He introduced me to his best friend; Faiz. Muhd Faiz is a very shy boy... comel je dorang ni same size jalan-jalan sane sini...boring agaknye... Who am I kidding? They need to be taught, not be kept in the hall! Oh yeah, Faiz ni budak Form 2E while Meor is in 2F...Name Meor is..Meor Mohd Hanafi or something...nice name.
Yes, today aku dah tau name cikgu paling cantik kat skolah tu..Her name is Miss Abyan Ayuni. Sweet name... Miss Ayuni is from Kerteh, Terengganu.. She drives Satria Neo; TAT XXXX...darn, am I a stalker? Huhu.... Cikgu Ayuni ni kalau jalan, satu koridor bau dy pnye perfume...Students pun slalu ngorat dy ni...maklumla orang cantik...ahahahaha...
Miss Shafiza and Miss Shikin gave me some useful tips when writing my lesson plan.. Thank you cikgu-cikgu... Kak Yus pulak dok mengadu pasal berat die yang da naik...haiz... gossips in the teachers room...banyak betul...ahax...;p
Later, I had a relief class for 2E and 2F. It's PE time...seronok tengok dorang seronok main.. OMG, it's Meor's class...Hampeh tol... Anyway, I have made a new friend with Nithia. Her name is Nithiaswaribasweer...or something like that... She taught me how to say: "My name is niza" in Telugu language... FYI, she's not an Indian, I quote; "Cikgu, saye bukan India...saye macam India tapi bukan..." Cool...At least I learned something new today... ;p
Hmm...tadi terpakse la layan si Meor and Faiz ni borak borak pasal program esok...(I have to join as well...) "Meor, Meor...kenape la kamu ni banyak cakap...???"..."Ala, biase la cikgu, cikgu x suke ke???"...Haiz...ape la nasib aku ni...tak cukup garang ke aku ni??? Anyway, Meor ni anak bongsu from 7 adik beradik... He lives in Kampung Jawa, behind the school...at the slum area....
I am glad that Cikgu Hijazi, Cikgu Selva and Cikgu Arud keep on checking on how we are doing in teaching... They care..OMG, rase nak nangis (T_T), terharu jek.... First thing which came out from Mr Selva today was.."Niza, Ok? How are you today?" Cool...
That's all for now...
P/s-I'll update later... Tomorrow? IDTS..I have to attend the Qiyamullail programme..and I am spending a nite there...cool...;p
Toodles :p

My Third Day
It's 17 June 2009. I hate my life...in a good way, perhaps. Is that even possible?
OMG...Today, I had so many classes to teach...3 classes for Moral, 1 class for Amalan Bahasa Melayu (Remove Class), 1 class for English (2C) and 2 classes for PE (2C+2D).
Hari ini betul-betul menguji tahap kesabaran aku...when I first walked in Form 1 Peralihan, I was so energetic and enthusiastic to start the class.....BUT, it went all the way down to the drain. It's freaking hard to control them...they didn't even speak Bahasa with me..not even English! How was it possible for me to understand their insult on me???? T_T
The students...urgh... Some of them were so rude. One of the Chinese girls even told me straight to my face; "STUPID!" Not to mention that she questioned and argued a lot.. I've let her win! I calmed myself down, I counted to 5 and took a deep breathe while telling myself; they are just children, they are just children... ALhamdulillah, I remained my sanity and managed to pull myself through.... I guess it's ok... I don't want to go to that class anymore...pleaseeeeeee....
Then, when I was teaching and writing things on the board, Meor suddenly walked in and friendly poked me and asked; "Cikgu, cikgu ajar ape ni?" Yeah, that was very cute of him but...oh my goodness!!!! I said; "I am teaching Meor, can you please wait outside? Takde kelas ke?" Meor is a form 2 student, right across the building which I was teaching... Ayyo, ape ni??? Kalu Dr Izaham datang, sah sah aku fail....Sedeynye....
That's the color of my teaching. Oh wait, I still have to mention my 2C class. I am teaching them English. I must say, I am happy to have them as my students. They are much better than my other class; Form 2D (which I am going to teach tomorrow). Even though they talk too much, they actually good and learn from the lesson. Farid kept asking me tonnes of weird questions such as; "Are you married?, Are you single?, Do you have girlfriends?, Who's your girlfriend?, Kat mane cikgu amik lesen?, Kampung cikgu dekat tak dengan kampung cikgu xxx (I have no idea)..." Ayyo... But they are nice la.. Shahirah pulak banyak sangat cakap..pot pet pot pet non stop for hours... and Hairian as well....a bit disruptive, but he's a smart boy..ok la kot... We were learning about "Phantom of the Opera" anyway... So, I believe the questions were not really within the context..haha...
Right after that, I handled the PE class for 2C and 2D... I just lepak-lepak, sembang-sembang with my students..Pity them that they could not use the padang sekolah..The morning students were playing football there... They did not wear their tracksuits anyway..so, ok la... Cikgu Shikin and I sembang-sembang la jugak coz she was handling the girls... She told me that budak-budak 2D are the toughest challenge for every teacher here... OMG...will I survive? I am crossing my fingers now...wait, how can I type if....urgh...
Farid and the gang asked me; "Cikgu, cikgu datang tak Jumaat ni?". I said..."Yup, saye datang kot.." I have to handle the "Qiyamullail" programme this Friday... It means that I have to spend a night at the school... Hey, I am looking at the brightside. At least, I can spend some time with my students, get to know them better and...I don't know what will I do to keep the slots going on...
After 6.45pm, I checked out from the school...with mixed feeling.."Do I really want to be a teacher?"...I'll end up at the mental for sure...urgh....
Lucky that the traffic was not as bad as yesterday...
That's all for today...I still have not done with my lesson plan for tomorrow!!! ;p
Toodles ;p

My Second Day...
It's 16 June 2009. I started off my life as a trainee teacher by meeting my supervisor; Dr Izaham around 9.30am. I shared my findings so far and he gave me few tips... OMG, he is going to do the first observation next week..within 22-29 June. Double OMG!
After that, I had breakfast nearby. Went home and lepak-lepak...tried to burn an audio CD but there was something wrong..I had no idea... Then??? I was off to SMK Sri Istana.
After parked the car (which was..pheeew...main suke2 je parking kat mane2!), I headed straight to the office to check in...Bosannye kehidupan ini!!! Who says life's like a spinning tops??? No idea...
Went to the teachers room...chatted with some teachers..there were two new teachers who just cheked in as well...cool...their first day I think...Kak Zana and Ms...(x ingat). Then, due to the boredom, I went to the library.
Library. Yippie...I have made friends with cute and adorable students...There was this cute little boy; Meor. I thought he's a form 1 student but he's a year older. I played chess and dam aji with them..The chinese boy has beaten me in both games...dang me dang me... I had fun though...good game, good game... I then borrowed a book from Pn. Rokiah. It's all about multiple intelligences. Fruitful though.
Then, I went to the canteen with Cikgu Anwar and we were then joined by two other male teachers (A PJK and a PS teacher). They shared some experiences and showed us some easy routes to the school from Shah Alam. Thanx guys...
Later, I went observing one of my mentor's classes; 2D. Just one word to describe them. HORRIBLE! OMG! Within that single period, I have listed down 19 disruptive behaviors made by students! What is this???? I felt bad for Mr Arud. Nobody was paying attention and they even made fun of him...poor guy. Seriously, I was shaking at the back of the class..Scary! Takutnye nak mengadap Syafiq, Faiz, Saifullah and the gang....T_T
I shared my experience with Ifa.... Hmmm... Malu nak ngaku but I did cry at the back of Block A. I was comforted by Ms Liza. She remembered me! She said.."Niza, what's wrong? How bad is your day???" Then she talked about her cats' names; "Kelabu, Gemok, Beauty, Princes, Scooby, Pinky, Jijah, etc la.." Gosht..she sure has lots of cats.. She is an animal lover! Seriously... She told me that she even prayed for her cats in her prayers...She is such an angel.
I was hoping Miss Shafiza would help me with my lesson plan on teaching Pendidikan Moral...but she was not around... Bantai je la kot...Chapter 13 "Kasih Sayang Teras Keluarga Bahagia". Even Mr Hijazi told me to sapu je laa...ahahahahaha.... I need to see the Ketua Panitia tomorrow...
Ok...the best part was when a teacher asked me to handle "Aerobic" activity next Tuesday for the school's Hari Gerak Hidup Sihat or something...I was like....errrr...."aerobic tu mcm mane cikgu?" She said.."ala, buat yang basic2 je...". I am hoping that Cikgu Anwar will help me..pleaseeeee...
Then, En Hijazi asked me personally to join the Qiyamullail programme this Friday. It will start by 7pm (Friday) till 7am(Saturday)... Of course I said YES...what else can I do...I hope it's going to be fun...
Lastly, I was a bit surprised as I checked the "Rekod Guru Ganti"... I need to do some relief classes tomorrow on the 7th perior till 9th period... I am going to handle the Kelas Peralihan and PJK for 2C and 2D... Ayyyyyyaaaaa..... The remove class will test my faith as a teacher! OMG... and 2D??? Again????
I checked out from the office with Ifa and we headed home...Tired already....phewww...not to mention the congestion atas bukit...and I am driving a manual transmission car!!!! Haiz...cool down niza..
Then, lepak-lepak kat umah kejap..and my housemates; Nazri, Tajul and I had dinner at NR Tomyam after that....
That's all for now...
p/s - I am still breathing! Esok nak main dam lagi dgn budak2....yeay! ;p

My Very First Day....
Hoho...15 June 2009, the day of my life...ok, that's a lie. Perhaps it's one of my days, not THE day.
I drove to the school successfully without getting lost and saved time. I then parked the car at the school parking lot which is so unsystematic..(I'm sorry for my friend; Ika due to her 'extending hours' at the school due to the 'block'). Seriously, I think they should do something about it...
Then, I headed to the office and checked in for work... Came to my surprise, someone has already signed my attendance...7.10 in the morning... Huh? As I recall, I woke up around 8am or something....and I'm teaching the noon session..How is that possible??? Hehe..it was Anwar's anyway... Read the name on the attendance sheet will you..huhu..
Right after that, I went to the teachers room. Yeay..I am so happy about my desk..it's big, new and just next to the window...where green is the theme,..just comfy. I must say, the teachers are very utterly friendly...and they are sooooooo helpful. I have made friends with some teachers today, Kak Yus and some other female teachers who are quite new to the school. I don't really know their names except Miss Shafiza (perhaps). The ustazahs are nice too.... I have also met the three counseling teachers (including Mdm Savithri).
I headed to the office after that. The PK Petang; Mr Hijazi has planned and presented the classes and timetable for Ifa and I. I won't be teaching Pendidikan Sivik anymore. I am taking Pendidikan Moral instead...(En Hijazi punye kelas..hampeh tol..) Ok la kot...since he doesn't have experience teaching it too...so he said its ok if I make mistakes...coz, I quote, "Saye pun tak tau ape nak ajar moral...".
So far; my timetable goes like this:
5 periods of English - Form 2C
5 periods of English - Form 2D
2 periods of Moral - Form 1 CDE
PRS for my co-curricular activity.
Most of the teachers I met claimed that 2D is a bit 'naughty' but 2C is fairly ok. Hmm, I shall give my best shot la, considering Ifa is taking Form 1F... I hope she will be ok too...don't worry Ifa, I'll help if I can...;p
My mentor is Mr Arud. He is a super senior teacher there... I can't remember exactly how many years he has been teaching there...puluh-puluh tahun jugak la.... He is extremely charismatic+considerate+adaptable+kind+loving+passionate teacher! WOW..I told Mr Selva (Ifa's mentor) upon how lucky I am to have Mr Arud as my guardian. Thanx Mr Hijazi and Mr Selva. Now we have each others' numbers in our handphones...cool... Should I sms you Mr Selva and Mr Arud??? Hehe...
Oh yeah, the Monday assembly..urgh...bosannye...and steamy...ngantuk pn ade... But, ok la..considering that I was the only male teacher atas stage td (Except Mr Hijazi la)... Cam hot stuff je students sume tgk...
I felt a bit awkward when students addressed me "Cikgu" today. I mean, in a good way...I guess. It was fun chatting and gossiping with the teachers in the teachers room... They shared some experience and...macam-macam la...
The canteen. I have to mention this. The mak cik canteen was very friendly tadi. She talked a lot about students there and I was shocked when she said, "Budak2 kat sini ok...dorang respect sume orang..xde gadoh2 la stakat mak cik keje sini..." Hmmm...knowing that, I was a bit relieved...Oh well, the masak lemak cili api was appetizing..nak lagi nak lagi!!!
The truth is... I think the students are ok... They respected me today...and they were friendly to me, tadi la... I don't know what will happen tomorrow...huhu...
I am writing this just to keep track of what I have been doing at school... I love walking around, getting to know with students (not all tho...) Seronok buat kawan dgn Afiq Irsyad...sangat friendly...form 1 tuh... Another reason is...I have not updated my reflective journal...perhaps I'll just refer to this blog to tally with my journal entries later on...hehe... Malasnye aku ni...hehe.
So far, I love the school.. I love the ambience.. I love the teachers.. I love my mentor... I love the students.... I still love Ms Liza..ahax... I can't wait to see what tomorrow has to offer...
p/s - I haven't done my lesson plan for 2D...hehe..got 1 period with them tomorrow...;p
Toodles...;p

Lay low...listen to others...show some humility will you??? Come on...we are there to LEARN! Be humble...and lower down your ego, pleaseee! ;p
Lastly, just be safe...have fun and come back home in one piece... ;p
Good luck everyone!!!! ;p

Besarnye dugaan....Kenape?
Adoi....there's too much going on lately.....lepas satu, datang lagi satu....adoi..selalu complain ke aku ni???
I don't understand why most people can be happy while I'm sweeping the dust of life. Whenever I smile, I will cry a minute later...why can't I keep the happiness for long?
Life is meaningless without the ones you love. I keep telling people: "People come and people go!" But, when it happens to me, I can't really keep my sanity for long.... Am I that miserable? Is this fair?
Losing him the past 21 May 2009 has really dragged me down the ground. I am over it now. Thank you to Mr Time for healing the wound.
That is not it. A lady; Julia Fardilla is suffering from cancer. She has been struggling with the disease for almost a year now. The doctor said, I quote "Late detection ni...".
We have been trying on many things...countless effort...the radiotherapies, kemotherapies, whatever pills and injections..u name it... It should have worked! It MUST! I want it to work!!!!! Be it public or private...all does not seem to really work... Why???? Why??? I won't stop questioning till You give me a concrete answer!
Today, I texted someone. He informed me of a heartbreaking news. It has been two weeks now that she can't eat. WTF???? I'm sorry for the curse...but seriously??? What kind of game is this????? Sick.....
She is supposed to undergo an operation... However, due to her condition, it can't be done.... or else........ I don't wanna say it.... All I ask is for her to be happy again... I still remember the scrumtuous taste of her Nasi Tomato last time...she made it specially for me coz I personally asked her to..... I want her to be able to cook whatever we wish to have again! Just like before... am I asking too much???
What about her two little babies? Who will take care of them???? She should get up from bed and cuddle them whenever they cry!!!! Not someone else!!!! Fuck on life! Sucks....
I hope she will be ok.....I hope Mr Hope will drop by and knock our door...please..I am begging you...help her...don't make her suffer like this! Please.... Please.... Please......
I love her! Surprisingly, yes! She is an angel brought down from heaven to light our house of doom! What will I do without her???? I am not ready for this! I don't remember signing up for this thing to happen? Is this part of the deal???? How unfair....
Suddenly, I am thinking about a person; Abdullah. Will he be able to handle this? Suddenly, I can clearly see his sacrifice...all this while... How selfish I have become all the way through... I am sorry...you should have not kept it a secret from me.. I am not 12 anymore!!!!
Ya Allah, I beg you to stop her pain! Pleaseeeeeeee... I am begging You.... Please... Switch it on me! It would be an honour to take her place, please......
I don't understand why most people can be happy while I'm sweeping the dust of life. Whenever I smile, I will cry a minute later...why can't I keep the happiness for long?
Life is meaningless without the ones you love. I keep telling people: "People come and people go!" But, when it happens to me, I can't really keep my sanity for long.... Am I that miserable? Is this fair?
Losing him the past 21 May 2009 has really dragged me down the ground. I am over it now. Thank you to Mr Time for healing the wound.
That is not it. A lady; Julia Fardilla is suffering from cancer. She has been struggling with the disease for almost a year now. The doctor said, I quote "Late detection ni...".
We have been trying on many things...countless effort...the radiotherapies, kemotherapies, whatever pills and injections..u name it... It should have worked! It MUST! I want it to work!!!!! Be it public or private...all does not seem to really work... Why???? Why??? I won't stop questioning till You give me a concrete answer!

Paintless Heart (No idea)
Woooosh...today's another episode of my life as a school teacher. LOL. Sounds funny though.
Anyway, Madam Silvathri; the counseling teacher has asked me last night if I could join them painting the form 1 & 2 block. Guess what...I have said "Sure, why not.." Ahahahahahaa....
Anuar was kind enough to offer me a ride to the school...(purposely intended to show me the simple route actually...) Thanx nuar! I was a bit eager this morning as I was wearing my tracksuit. It's been a while since my last time painting any wall...(or should I say making the wall looks bad??!)
We headed to SMK Sri Istana around 9 am. Along the way, nuar has mentioned about which routes to take, where to turn, which signboards to look for and the landmarks... I was like.."Hmm, ok, ok, ok...when I was actually thinking: "What if I turn here?, What if I go straight? etc.."
Then, nuar showed me the 'setinggan' area around Kampung Jawa where most of my students live. It was a bit depressing, seeing how poor they are. They have been separated from the 'civilization' by a thin layer of green zinc... Huh? It works as a wall actually... The contrast can be clearly seen when you compare some houses in front of the green zinc; which are nicely constructed and a bit wealthy. Now I am thinking: "How can they live in such huge cribs when their neighbors are living in a 1-room houses with many tenants???"
(Sigh). Then we went straight to the office to check in. FYI: I have officially became the staff since 8 June 2009. So, my attendance for the school has already started since then.
After that, we headed to the block. There was this form 5 boy; Siva who already started working. He is so tall. (Rase terhine plak bile aku cat yang part bawah2 je..LOL). I joined him soon as I dropped my stuffs and my 'The Star' which stated "I am gay-Says Adam Lambert, W42".
Surprisingly, I have made friends with some Indian students there. There was this girl; Yogeswari who was shy at first. She responded to my questions minimally (Sepatah aku tanye, sepatah dy jawab). Then, there was this form 4 boy; Vinesh who's actually more than a friendly boy to me. I thought he hated me or something but..it turned out ok..Tett, I was wrong about them...;p
Niza: Hello, what is your name dear?
Vinesh: Vinesh. U?
Niza: Niza (shaking his hand). Are you Siva's classmate?
Vinesh: No, I am in form 4..
Niza: Ic..
Vinesh: Are you the form 5 transfer student?
Niza: (Having a small laugh). Nope, I am here to teach form 1 and 2 students.
Vinesh: Oh, you're a teacher (With his Indian tone). Sorry sorry cikgu..(I'm guessing its because he called me directly by my name)
Niza: It's ok, I don't mind...I don't look like a teacher, do I?
(We were both laughing) LOL.
I never thought they are this friendly. Hmm..perhaps it just works with some advanced students... I don't know, perhaps... I hope everyone will be like them; the ones I befriended with today.
Later, there was this English teacher. I actually have forgotten his name (due to the previous students' names confusion..LOL). He was really nice. He is an Indian. He has been teaching there since 2000. He shared about his experience especially during his time in Sarawak. He is handling the noon session. So, he will automatically be my guidance as well.
He even offered himself to help me whenever I have difficulty in teaching..."I certainly do!" He told me to inform him immediately if my supervisor is coming, so he can prepare a helping plan...Muahahahahahhaha.... I said.."It's ok sir...I'll try my best sir.." Hehe..
Madam Silvathri and him thanked nuar and I for helping them today. I said.."Don't mention it la teacher.." Muahahahahahaha....
I think, I love my students...and of course the teachers I've met so far.. I hope everyone will be like them.... I know the school is awful and the students are terribly weak in English... That's the trick isn't it? I hope I'll survive and improve their achievement...
Nuar and I checked out from that school at...nearly 1.30pm... Then we had our lunch.
Hehe..I can't wait to see what tomorrow has to offer..for all of us... I hope the sun will shine brightly at SMK Sri Istana....
Till we meet again..
Toodles...;p

Tak Seindah Biasa
(Having a long sigh, hmmmm)...what a luck....(if there's any). I have been assigned to teach the afternoon session at my school...that is fine by me...till I found out that the noon session are for form 1 and 2 students...wait...the best part is: they are horrible... HORRIBLE here does not mean that they create lots of major problems. They are horrible in the sense that they come from class C till G...imagine that... Nevertheless, I can't say "I CAN'T" as a new teacher and leave this opportunity behind...I grabbed it and...I shall plan for the best..or maybe the worst... I haven't planned anything though... T_T
The teachers are nice...incredibly nice... They were all eye-ing on us and gazing for their chance in us... All of them were like.."Eh, awak ambik kelas saye la", "Cikgu amik je my class", "You just take my classes la cikgu" n bla bla bla, hoping for each and every one of us to choose them... I swear I could see the "pick me, pick me teacher!" in their eyes... I am just a trainee teacher. I said.."I'll try my best maam". I can't do all things, not by myself...I also need help and guidance...
Who shall I seek help from? Definitely the Puan Pengetua; Pn Mawarni, Pn Asiah and the PKs...coz they are nice, I think. Yup, Ms Liza as well!!! Absolutely! Oh yeah.. Gosht....why would I say 'yes' in the first place when being offered the noon session?? Urghhh.... T_T
Now it is true what they say.."Life does not always come your way", "The world does not revolve around you". Exactly! What should I do next? I have no idea... I am looking forward to have an eye-to-eye talk with Dr Izaham soon as he comes back from his leave.
What surprises me the most is their examination result. 11%??? Now I have to throw away my lesson plans which are meant for 'intermediate' and 'advanced' levels. I am not even sure if they can go through with my 'beginner' lessons. They are below that level actually...even for the A and B classes...bloodcurdling isn't it??? Not to mention how tormenting it would be for the teacher; ME! Haha... T_T
I'll totally ask help and guidance from my mentor...(crossing my fingers that he/she will help). I don't want to keep making things hard than what already is... I just hope I will make lots of friends there, befriend with teachers and my students...and have fun there... I don't want to end up in mental....not just yet....
Up to this moment, I am having a second thought upon becoming a teacher.... I hope the next three months, I will be able to change the current thought! I keep telling myself: "Just 3 months niza!" Please...... My current problem is: I don't know how to communicate with my students.... they'd rather speak in their respective languages than having small talk with me in Bahasa Malaysia. I seriously don't understand them...I wish we can cooperate later.... Perhaps, it is too early...T_T
Sivic education. What to teach??? PRS. I have no idea where to begin with.... This is the problem when you left your school life years ago and left it all out (EVERYTHING!)...and never refer to the PRS teacher! Ahahahaha... Tuan Haji Hanid, why did you leave us??? ...after you've made 1001 promises???
That is all for now....
Toodles ;p

I don't like the idea...
I really don't like the idea of u using me to gain your profit...
If you think I am just a stool where you can sit on it, then please forget our friendship...
To me, a friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else! I don't understand why you keep on luring me into ur business when u already have a good friend to be with?
How do u perceive me? Am I just a collection? I am your friend, not an idiot... One day you'll realize how rich you are as your wealth is where your friends are! Learn to appreciate your friends!
I love having you as my friend! If I don't have friends, then I am nothing! I love you as a friend dear...all I am asking is...do have some respect and grow up...I'll guide you through, I promise!
You need to understand one thing about one thing..; friendship is a special kind of love! I wonder if you can ever live without your friends???
Lastly, I hope you understand how tired I am... I really don't like your idea of using me as a toy...wherever and whenever you please...
p/s-I love you my friend.

Didiee, please be ok....
Dis entry is solely dedicated to my friend; Didiee who r in deep agony at the moment.
You are young..I hope you will not do anything beyond your wisdom. I believe you are a smart boy. Don't make bad judgment like what I used to do..Please be ok...
There are many people at your back who are pushing you from afar. I must say, I am awfully worried of you...coz to me, you are so fragile. Please be ok...
To Zharin, I believe you are handling things well there. So, please take a good care of each other ok and just inform me if you need anything. Please be ok...
I can't offer a million dollar note right now..all I can give is my far away kisses n hugs to heal the wound..at least for tonight... I hope you will be ok...
All in all, you guys have been such good friends to me and the least I can do is to be there with you...I hope you will be ok...
Before I sleep, hmm...just be ok!
-to all restless souls, we unite to lend our help for those in need...-

Please don't smoke....
Hmmm...I know this might sound so awfully biased...but, I hate people who smoke publicly...
Here's the issue...My friends; Tajul, Ekhwan and I went to Plaza Masalam earlier today... We had breakfast+daily eye-candying there....
Then, we headed to Giant supermarket to top up some stuffs...I bought myself a refill for my mosquito repellent, fabric detergent, a toothbrush and two pairs of singlets. Then we hang out for a while with Didiee and our new friend for today is..Acap...huhu..(wah, everyday's a friendship day!)
We lepak-lepak at Pelita Nasi Kandar (it was Didiee's lunch time actually). I hate the people (Pak Cik Pak Cik) next to us. They smoked as if we were not even there!!! Sucks.... I really hate the idea of allowing people to smoke in the restaurant...even though it's 'open air', please be considerate la Malaysians!
Seriously, who approved the idea of smoking is permissable 'outside' the premise??? (So much of being 'outside') Oh yeah, our ministers smoke too... No wonder. Some restaurants even have smoking sections. Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant just like making a peeing section in a swimming pool? Come on people!!! Where is your logical sense?
Uhuk uhuk... I have to back myself off...since I am just playing a minute role in this scheme... I have been oficially approved as a secondhand smoker long time ago... I guess, I am going to die young anyway....oh boy....T_T

Kutu Rayau Part 2 - Rayau2 around SMK Sri Istana.
The day has finally come! It's my first day visiting SMK Sri Istana, Klang. It was unofficial though.
A million thanx to my buddy Ekhwan for accompanying me. Hehe...I never thought it's that easy..ahax...
Istana Klang is huuuuge.....almost like a Taj Mahal..ok, that's a lie.... It's effing pretty!
That's not the point. I spent...errm..let's say..quite some times at SMK Sri Istana. I must say..WOW! I love it...Thank you Mdm Lim Wai Fun!
Here's the thing...I have made myself a new friend! Her name is...Ms Aliza a/p A. Rayar...it's pronounced as e-lai-za. She's a guard there... and....tadaaaaaa.... SHE SPEAKS ENGLISH FLUENTLY! She is super friendly..when I said SUPER, I really meant it!..Seriously, you can ask Ekhwan if you don't believe me...or see it for yourself...moral of the story: Never judge a book by its first page!
She's actually very nice to me..n Ekhwan of course...she was willing to spend her time showing me around the school...and she told me some stories about the school... Some interesting facts:
1. Most of the royal kids study here! The school is actually located behind the Istana.
2. The kerabat2 di-Raja's family, the Mangku2 whatever send their kids here!
3. The Quarters for the Istana workers are just next to the school...they also send their kids here!
4. The Sultan has just approved a school project...he is fully funding the school for the new buildings...
5. The school is friggin' old and ugly, yet..it's concrete..duh..
6. Mrs Principal is very very very nice and good in what she is doing..it's already her 5th years here..
7. The ratio: Almost balanced between 3 major races...
8. They are lacking in English teachers and most of the teachers are females. The TESL trainee teachers (ifa n i) r like replacing their english teachers who r on maternity leave...;p
9. Police is often available...for ronda-ronda purpose....
10. It's a two-sessions school.
11. It's near to a very cute playground on the hill...Ekhwan and I went there too...ahahahha...clean n cute...
I think I like the school already.. I hope Pn. Marwani likes me too...(first impression)..Lalalala....
Some facts about students:
1. They are mostly weak in English...according to Ms Liza, they love the textbook but they don't understand it... It is suggested that they best learn English by watching cartoons...
2. They have problem in mixing around with different races. It is quite obvious that they will remain in their respective groups no matter what the situation is..ayyo, I'm so dead..
3. They really respect the guards...sometimes the guard will become their teacher (English)
4. They are currently working on a gardening project in the school compound.
Hmmm....my feelings? It's mixed! Seriously..I am nervous...and at the same time, I am excited to teach...First, I need to get to know them, personally...Like what Ekhwan has suggested....walk with them when leaving the school...huhu... Perhaps...
I'll update my 'survival series' there...I hope I'll survive....ameeen...Lastly, I am kinda anxious upon whom will be my mentor...huuuuuuu....
Till then, toodles...;p
