A Date to Remember !

Assalamualaikum everyone..

   I can't move on. 5th of March was a historic day. After 8 years of teaching, finally I witnessed one of my school SPM candidates scored A-. 

   Thank you Husna. At least we, the English Panel has something to cheer on.To the other candidates, you did all you can and I have to say that I'm proud with all of your effort and hard work.

 I wish everyone from this batch to have more successful years ahead. Thank you for the memory. 

Six that make me feel sick.

Assalamualaikum.

   We were in the middle of our school camping programme and were informed that there will be a surprise meeting on the second day of the event. To be honest, I was cursing all the way, because I thought it was not the right time for a meeting. We already line up several activities for the programme. So,having a meeting will only disrupt the flow of the programme.

    During the meeting, I can sense something wasnt right. You can sense it by the tone used by our boss while giving his speech. I started to feel sense of loosing. Then, our boss read the letter issued by the ministry. Suprisingly, they listed Cikgu Shahrir, Ustaz Maghfur, Ustaz Kashfi, Cikgu Redzuan, Ustaz Luthfi, and Ustaz Najmi in their redeployment list. It means they were going to be transferred to other schools. All of us were shocked. We were out of words. The news breaks my heart.

    It is hard to describe how I feel when I heard Maghfur's name was mentioned. My eyes start to water. Out of nothing I'm going to lose one of 'my bro'. I got out from the room, trying to find him ( he wasnt in the room). At that time, I felt that I need to hug you bro. I am going to miss you really much but you were nowhere to be seen. I walked around the area searching for him with watery eyes. I just can bear it on my own. What is going to happen to our 'football project' bro? Will I hear your crazy laugh again??

   I owe you and Cikgu Redzuan a lot. Both of you enlightened my burden since the first day you were here. I can still remember the days when I was working non-stop, Sunday to Saturday for almost two months, just before both of you came here. You both give me time to breathe. Life after both of you gone wont be easy. I'm very sure of that.

   Kashfi, even though I'm not that close to you, I felt you were more than a friend. You were the kind of a friend who always shows support and lead by example. I adore you because you are young and bold. I adore the way you motivate people by keep on going, taking chances and risks to raise your lovely small family.

   Let me be honest, I don't even had much time to know you Ustaz Luthfi. You were here for a short period of time but I salute your determination to travel all of the way from Tikam Batu to Jeneri every day to teach. Would anyone consider to travel in that kind of distance every day? It takes guts. I'm happy for you because soon you can walk to school. You wont be travelling far again.

   Najmi, I'm happy for you too since I know that is what you always wanted. You can start something new. Who knows, there, you can be their brightest stars. I'm used to jokes around you but I mean nothing. I just enjoy seeing you smile, hiding your laugh.

   Cikgu Shahrir, I also owe you the most. I meant it. Where can I find a non optionist teacher who enjoys English like I do? You have been here for a very long time, serving the English Panel magnificently. You always crack jokes and never complain when assign to teach English. I might look like that I hate you. Deep in my heart, I felt bless to have someone like you as the English Panel members. You make English around here 'lives'.

     I'm in tears.Actually,no words can describe how am I feeling right now. I've lost 6 of my colleagues at once. I believe each one of  you will shine brighter, and be the brightest in a different setting, Insya Allah. I miss all of you my brossss...

    

Gone.Forever

Assalamualaikum.

Last month, our school lost Ustaz Ismail, one of the person who started it all.

He was a member of the committee who transformed our school into 'Sekolah Agama Bantuan Kerajaan' 

Three days later, I've lost my grandma, Tok Nab.

We're quite close.

We shared a lot of fond memories together. 

But I have to accept the fact that she is now gone, forever.

I love you Tok.

It didn't stop there, last week, I got another news.

This time, it's about my former student.

Shazwani Shukri. Shes gone.

This girl came from a group of bright students which I adore so much.

The first batch of SPM candidates I thought here, in 2011.

Al-fatihah to Ustaz Ismail bin Lebai Ahmad, my grandma Zainad bt Said and my former student Shazwaani bt Shukri

Another comeback?

Assalamualaikum.

I'm backkkkkk!
Yes, I did another comeback.

After 4 years!!

and......

I'm married in 2014.

Blessed with a kid, Suhail Harith.

Right now, this little guy is the heart of everything.

A boy who worship lorries and fish more than his own parents 🐟

P/s: Nakharomm. Dah lupa banyak cara nak format pa jadah dalam blogspot ni. 

         Cian. Terus rasa tua.

Hall of Fame

Assalamualaikum....

Here I am. Sekejap ada sekejap tadeee..I'm quite stress,inside out. Could not really concentrate in classes due to other workloads. Alhamdulillah, the Form 3s done with their English yesterday. I see them smiling and look confident. That could be a good sign! We did our part,now lets hope for the best...

Yesterday, I also witnessed the 'magic of words'. After a writing session with the fifth formers, I decided to proceed the class with a vocabulary exercise. I planned to give them a song lyric (with blanks).Their job is to listen to the song and fill in the blanks with the correct words. So here is the song's lyric.

Yeah, You could be the greatest

You can be the best

You can be the king kong banging on your chest

You could beat the world

You could beat the war

You could talk to God, go banging on his door

You can throw your hands up

You can beat the clock

You can move a mountain

You can break rocks

You can be a master

Don't wait for luck

Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself

Chorus

Standing in the hall of fame                                  

And the world's gonna know your name

Cause you burn with the brightest flame

And the world's gonna know your name

And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

You could go the distance

You could run the mile

You could walk straight through hell with a smile

You could be the hero

You could get the gold

Breaking all the records they thought never could be broke

Do it for your people

Do it for your pride

Never gonna know if you never even try

Do it for your country

Do it for your name

Cause there's gonna be a day

(Chorus)

Be a champion (4x)

On the walls of the hall of fame

Be students, be teachers

Be politicians, be preachers

Be believers, be leaders

Be astronauts, be champions, be true seekers

Be students, be teachers

Be politicians, be preachers

Be believers, be leaders

Be astronauts, be champions

(Chorus)

….

….

….

….

…..

Standing in the hall of fame

Then,I've explained to them,line-by-line just like the way I'm teaching poem. I interpret the lyric from a students point of view. While I'm explaining, I get too emotional and start to relate the whole lyrics with sacrifices made by the parents and teachers. 

I mentioned something like this 'You can't actually pay your parent with money, it won't be enough. They're not hungry for your money, their hungry to see you succeed'. Some of them shred into tears and me too (almost)..

I don't actually expect that kind of reaction from them.After the class they look motivated and lets hope the spirit will last until the end of the year.I'm expecting something 'big' from this year SPM candidates. This song tells us, Anything is Possible. Now, lets listen to the song and appreciate the lyric.

P/s: Esok pi padang besaq woi,cari jersi.

THE 'LOWS'

Assalamualaikum..

Almost 5 months since I last updated my blog. So far this year, there are 'highs' and 'lows'. Today I'm gonna write about the 'lows'.

PMR 2012

• There is no improvement as expected
• I'm lost, because all of us, had given our hearts and souls, in and off the PnP.
• Frustrating.. due to the reason that all of things I've discussed a night before exam, came out in the exam. 
• But thank you to the students who always tried their best in improving their English :)

WORKLOAD

• This year, I've spent my time more on meetingssss. Sukan tu, sukan ni, bla bla bla..
• I can't concentrate on my teaching
• Missed lots of my classes. 
• And the school administration doesn't make my job easier either. Thank you.

SPM 2012

• This is the biggest disappointment of all. 
• I feel bad 
• The night after the result released, I cant sleep. Thinking about what went wrong.
• My colleague and I did whatever we could to help the students. For the weaker class, we had extra classes on Friday + extra classes on the night. 
• We spent our time working on the essay because it is the vital part on English 1119.

• I shed into tears when I recalled 'those faces'. 
• Muka-muka yang xberapa pandai, tapi sanggup jumpa saya,luangkan masa until midnight sebab nak lulus. I feel pity for them. I let them down.
• I still can recall some of them came out form the exam hall and said "Cikgu ! Saya xpenah tulih karangan macam ni. Syok ja tulih. Terima kasih banyak-banyak. Ni karangan terbaik dalam hidup saya". That particular day, I thought i've succeeded. But I'm not. 

• I don't even bother to see to school's overall result because of the disappointment.
• More tears go through my cheeks when I've text my colleague later that night.
• Our efforts are fruitless. We felt bad because English is the worst of all. 
• We felt bad because it could be our faults. I feel ashamed of myself.
• Right until today, I'm still speechless and DISAPPOINTED. 

P/s: It takes time for me to settle down. But I wont give up. Never!  :) I want to say thank you to all of my students who did their best in our classes and exam. I know you've tried. I'm proud of you.
