Teacher Miss Muna speaks

Hallu everybody! I finally have the time to at least scribble something on my blog. And for today, i'd like to share with you my so-far-three-weeks-experience as a teacher Miss Muna *that's how my yr1 students would call me* at SK Muadzam Shah, Pahang.

First, before i go deeper into the experiences, let me give you a brief background about Muadzam Shah. I'm pretty sure you've heard of that place. Well, i knew the existance of Muadzam Shah way back in my secondary years at MJSC Muar. People used to say that MJSC Muadzam Shah is a 'maktab buangan' for misbehaviours from other colleges in Malaysia. I have no idea whether that's true or not, but those who had disciplinary problems at MJSC Muar were all transferred to Muadzam Shah. So, that was the first time i got to know about a place called Muadzam Shah.

Then, 2nd January 2010, i attended a briefing at Kuantan and was told that i got SK Muadzam Shah for my first posting. I didn't know what to expect since i've never been to that place before. But from friends, i was told that Muadzam Shah is a town, better developed that Rompin itself. So, i was rather happy to hear that. Hahaha! :p

As i set my foot in Muadzam Shah, wahhhh..greenery! No hustle and bustle of the hectic city life. Hahahah! *trying to be positive here*. Then i was told by my former housemate, 'paling canggih yang ada kat muadzam nh muna, 7E'. I remember her words. I laughed at her words because i thought she was joking. And it turned out to be true! No malls, no KFCs, no McDs..nothing. Only deretan kedai yang within 5 minutes pusing by car, you've actually toured the town. Heheheh :p So, that's basically it. Bandar Muadzam Shah. *Didnt turn out as a brief introduction, did it? hehe*

Now, about the school. Just a small average suburban school with 300- students enrollment. Teachers; 31 i think including me. There are also orang asli kiddos studying at that school and they are from Kampung Gadak and Kampung Langkap *i wonder where those places are*.

The students are nice and respectful especially the anak-anak orang asli.Every morning, they would wait for me at the garage to help me carry my things. Sometimes there would be around 10 of them waiting to offer help. Sweet and kind. But study wise, these students are a bit lacking and slow. Most of the times, they don't even have books nor pencils to write. It does make me sad thinking about it to the extent that i would provide them with exercise books and pencils from my own money so that they can make use of it *i really hope they would!*.

True, reality bites. Teaching isn't easy. I never used to think so when i was in my b.ed years. With all the theories that you learn in college, you'll get so excited to implement them with your students. But again, it ain't easy. With students who can't even spell 'table' correctly and who do not know what the word 'students' means, it's very challenging! But i am not surrendering to the reality. I have hopes.

My hopes: I hope to touch their lives and make a difference. I want them to love to go to school and love to be in my class. I do hope so. *praying*

happy mode (^_^)

The mode is as above. HAPPY. I have no idea why. I guess i'm happy because i'm in Klang. Being in Klang means being around my sisters, my FAMILY..my bundle of joy. So that does explain the mode. :) And so, i woke up this morning with my sister lying next to me, makes me feel good. Prepared breakfast *menu: scrambled eggs, hotdogs and a cup of tea each*, had it together, awesome! :)

We'll to be honest, Muadzam is not that bad after all. I just need to settle down and get used to the surrounding. Then i'm sure things will be even better; i don't need to escape to Kuantan nor Klang as often. But at times i do get bored and..lonely *yeah, i think that's the word* living alone in Muadzam Shah. Owh, sampai bila?

dunia baru

owh, its been a while. Wait, no, ages! yes, ages since i last posted something on my blog. the ultimate reason behind it, i had no internet connection and i was busy with my new life as a TEACHER.

*Btw, my year one students call me teacher miss muna* haha :p

Alhamdulillah.. Insyaallah :)

Today's my second sister's (kak manar's) engagement. Two engagements already in the family within this year. So that leaves me, the 3rd in the family, who is still 'not taken'. Then relatives were asking whether there'll be a third one. All i could answer was 'entah, nak kawen ngan sape? tengokla nanti. haha~'.

Seriously, it is rather irritating when people start asking the question. Come on, I've just turned 23 not even a month ago. But I also know that people are concerned and that they meant good. So sabar je la~ huhu :p Anyway, it's not even like i don't wanna get married and remain single forever! hehe..

I won't just marry anybody as easy as that because marriage bukannya only for a day, it's a life time commitment. Marriage jugak penyambung zuriat dan keturunan, so kena la usaha supaya keturunan yang bakal dilahirkan nanti merupakan keturunan yang baik-baik, diredhai dan dirahmati Allah, insyaallah. As such, apart from trying to improve myself to become a better person *tskkk...sgt susah~..huhu* I'm still in the search, so to 'the person' di mana jua kamu berada, my other half, silalah munculkan diri kamu dan memudahkan perjalanan hidup saya..hahaha :p

Insyaallah, kalau dah jumpa, adala...kalo belum, kena la terus mencari. Ngee~ :)




p/s: Alhamdulillah everything went well though we're exhausted. Selamat bertunang, kak! :)

a new found hobby :)

In the past, i never enjoyed baking as much as cooking other dishes because i was always too lazy to weigh all the ingredients required to bake a cake or cookies. I thought it was a tedious and messy process having to do all those things *aigoo~kalo dh xske th, soooo many excuses!* haha! :p

On the other hand, i enjoyed cooking dishes like masak lemak cili api, ayam msk merah and stuffs because i can always campak2 whatever ingredients into the pan without the hassle of weighing them *giler pemalas! huhu~*. Cooking compared to baking was way easier, that's what i felt.

However, beginning early this year, i suddenly developed this crave to bake cakes *yet, i only started to bake cakes early this month*. I have no idea what triggered this and frankly speaking, i'm enjoying baking as much! I love the outcome (the cake, of course) and i like the fact that i get to enjoy the cake with the loved ones after all the patience. I think baking requires patience after all. Coming up next. devils food cake :)


p/s: abg, how did the ayam masak merah go?..jadi x?..hehe :p i told mama and mama ckp, 'awat' perencah ko da bes ke?' hahahah~
