It's Sue 4 Sure

2012

2012-01-24T03:22:00.001-08:00

Hey 2012. Rupa-rupanya, semua yang ku lalui adalah supaya kita bersua untuk hari ini. I am where I'm supposed to be. :) And for the sake of an update- I'm happy. Nope, things did NOT turn out exactly how I wanted it to be. However, I had a heck-of-a-ride in 2011.

My professional life, Alhamdulillah, I achieved a lot of things, I started to pursue post-graduate studies, I was provided with many opportunities, called to some English related courses and was asked to conduct some courses at the district level too. For that reason, this year SHOULD make me deliver more English improvements in the school. And because I am in a studying mode, research should be my main game in this business this year. I hope. But I don't know, I still don't see my year 1 kids as lab rats yet. Hehehe...

Now let's move on to my personal life. Akan ku tunaikan janjiku dgn kawan seorg ni,untuk mencoret hal cinta2 ku d blog ini. Haha... Yes, if u read my previous entries, they are all heart broken and lonely soul. I read them all today and had a good laugh about it. My advice to all heart broken readers---> there's a RAINBOW after the RAIN. And it happened to me.

Last year, I met, ahemm...many many many interesting potential 'partners'..and yes, I was bitter (post break up), was angry to men, pessimist and negative to 'love life'..I was basically a train wreck, smiley and friendly outside, yet I come home back to work, empty and lonely. I cried myself to sleep many many nights, I admit...I moved on but I was, angry to myself. Yet Allah, the All-Knowing...has opened up my life to more wonderful things that no other beings are able to enjoy all at the same time- friendship from all different backgrounds, met friends that I can call soul sisters,my work life as a teacher, I was loved, reached out to, appreciated, cared by many, especially kids.... I'm closer to my family, I did not have to provide for them, yet I always feel so needed...I did not have a partner, but I had everything else. Alhamdulillah.

In mysterious ways, as well, I was fated to meet some meaningful people. We don't know what the future holds, if we end up together in life, but I was healed when I met this one guy.. he's no saint, and had gone through a lot... I have high respect for him for changing me. Though much more older than me, he did shed his tears for me... we talked about what we wanted in life, new years resolution, to be exact....although mine n his do not go hand in hand (we want different things), we end up changing each other...and for the better, we stayed friends..and that will never be lost.

I met wrong people as well... I have no idea of their intentions but I'd always treat them with respect.. diorang pun ada perasaan, n kadang2 perasaan tu x bolh dipendam, apa lg ditipu...they are what I call the wrong people for many reasons. One, is a good2 friend of mine since school...we've always had eachother, nice to eachother...I don't think I can ever fall in love to a good friend. Another, is not only from another culture and religion, and he's different and weird that I think he's from another planet!...Another one, is a friend, again, but he's married, and he thinks he can make me happy as his second...I'd never ever try to build a happy life by taking away some of the happiness from another (his wife). I told him, he has a mid-life crisis and he'll go through it. I'm still friends with him and always treat him as such. A couple of others are what we call "hook-ups"...and they all turn out to be wrong people as well....wrong but not bad. They will meet their own destiny.

For now, I am thankful that God is somehow showing me that THERE ARE good men out there. The kind of man that treats a woman right. The one that has high respect for me. That supports me like a friend and a brother. The kind that is 'kind'-hearted, trustworthy, lovely and would put a smile on my face. Can't wipe it. :)

2011-06-16T08:28:00.000-07:00

So it is the first week of 2nd semester of school year 2011. Time flies but I've achieved lots :) I am thankful to Allah, the most Giving n Merciful...(wah..bersukur nih..hihi) Honestly,i am happy of where i am now. I love teaching,honest to God i love how it makes me feel inside... when u teach so much, u feel wonderful much more... n hey, im dealing with year 1s by the way, those 7 year olds..my bread n butter! ;) I talk abt them with other teachers (n these discussions we have abt them opened wider perspectives). And after deliberating them fr the 1st semester exam, it's not like they did extremely well, n make me a happy n proud teacher, only a handful got As in mainstream class for English..all in all, the results i got shows what i expected; average achievement. I've detected some issues that i need to handle in the future..it's alright, teaching is like loving right? aand i quote...

Anyone who loves only to expect being loved in return is wasting their time...(i hv no recollection where i heard/read it from).

So what if they'r still struggling on following written instructions,forgetful of vocabularies learnt, n aren't that focused/motivated enough in learning a 2nd language..little by little, they'll get there..hopefully...i will pray fr them more..they need all the help they can get...i am worried yet it wont stop me to work harder...and when they still can't read n speak like proper English speaking kids in the cities like KK n KL, it's ok...i'd still be on the left column labeled WAYS TO SOLVE...

The power of Now

2011-06-06T00:42:00.000-07:00

The title? it isn't like me at all... but it isn't what u think it is... Right now i'm at a point where i am the center of my universe. Everybody else (who are my peers) seems to be happy with their family, their partner, their kids,etc. i realized that when the time comes, what they are doing will be exactly what im going to be doing..they r living my future.
However, for the moment, i am my own universe... im what u can say is comprehending myself..im living someone else's future..im not going to regret the past and i am never going to worry abt the future.. that is though eh? but it's something that can make us peaceful for the moment..it is now that is most important thing to do for the betterment of the future...gonna b practicing on the power of now..:)
When we make wrong decisions, it is hard for us to forgive ourselves.. I never thought that life can be unfair. Everything happens for a reason.. And maybe the mistakes we made is what makes us better in life.I'm thankful for making mistakes but it would only remain as a mistake if go round doing it again right?that's why, ladies n gentlemen mistakes r what people call lessons we can learn from...n basically what i preach in my blog (my experience my teacher).

hey hey hey....

2011-05-31T09:45:00.001-07:00

me want to monologue again...

KPLI Reflection

2010-07-08T09:05:00.000-07:00

Wow, it's like I have the remote control macam dalam movie 'Click'... Time flies and here I am...i have completed my KPLI with a fulfilled, satisfied feeling... There were many ups and downs, both professionally and personally... Well, that is what 'experience' is for... As I sloganized in this blog 'experience is teacher'.

A must to mention here is that I am now a changed and a better person (I hope). Right when i finished KPLI, Kursus n interview, I posted a status in my FB as follows:

KPLI is over. I'm now a changed person. I might say I'm now a better teacher, yet I'm more of a better student. Thank U IPG Gaya, the lecturers, Mr.Lourdes Nagarajan,TESLians (will miss u guys soo much), fellow KPLI trainees, my students, SK Inanam Laut, and Sang Kancil friends for this experience! I've learnt a lot. TQ!!!

Well, that sums it all for now...;)

BIG annoying Q: Bila Kahwin??

2010-07-01T05:33:00.000-07:00

How funny it is to annoy an already annoying person??hakhakk...;) Yes, I'm an annoying person in most circumstances. i ask questions a lot and my mother often says, 'si penyiasat ni, pigi tanya polis lah soalan mu tu". But nowadays people tend to ask me "when r u getting married?" and i get annoyed by it! Just because all other people in their tempurung little world is getting married, they expect EVERYONE should join the club a.s.a.p, they'r acting like "fashion victoms" for weddings..i'm like, get a life! Like i want to live yours anyway?? I mean there are a lot of things i want to do before getting married because half of the things in my list do not include "getting hyped over an overly priced wedding where everybdy becomes nosy n such, living in not in yr own place, having kids i cant afford to take care of, borrowing money (from my parents), asking money (from my parents), having to look after,please, and make sure everything is perfect for the husband 24 hours a day, etc." When you are mentally and emotionally not ready, you end up fighting all the time with d guy u sleep next to every night. It's better to make sure you are with the right person who ur happy to accept all of his qualities and even flaws. Also, I notice that marriage is a hard work and Im a big fan of PREPARATION. Just like a lesson plan u know...if u plan a good lesson plan with all the right methods and materials, even the scariest student can be tamed, and everybody's happy at the end of the lesson. We would even make a song about it~! Dadadaa~~

Broken-hearted Girl lyrics

You’re everything I thought you never were
And nothing like I thought you could’ve been
But still you live inside of me
So tell me how is that?

You’re the only one I wish I could forget
The only one I’d love to not forgive
And though you break my heart, you’re the only one
And though there are times when I hate you
Cause I can’t erase
The times that you hurt me
And put tears on my face
And even now while I hate you
It pains me to say
I know I’ll be there at the end of the day

I don’t wanna be without you babe
I don’t want a broken heart
Don’t wanna take a breath with out you babe
I don’t wanna play that part
I know that I love you
But let me just say
I don’t want to love you in no kind of way no no
I don’t want a broken heart
And I don’t wanna play the broken-hearted girl...No...No
No broken-hearted girl
I’m no broken-hearted girl

Something that I feel I need to say
But up to now I’ve always been afraid
That you would never come around
And still I want to put this out
You say you’ve got the most respect for me
But sometimes I feel you’re not deserving me
And still you’re in my heart
But you’re the only one and yes
There are times when I hate you
But I don’t complain
Cause I’ve been afraid that you would've walk away
Oh but now I don’t hate you
I’m happy to say
That I will be there at the end of the day

I don’t wanna be without you babe
I don’t want a broken heart
Don’t wanna take a breath with out you babe
I don’t wanna play that part
I know that I love you
But let me just say
I don’t want to love you in no kind of way no no
I don’t want a broken heart
And I don’t wanna play the broken-hearted girl...No…No
No broken-hearted girl

Now I’m at a place I thought I’d never be…Oooo
I’m living in a world that’s all about you and me…yeah
Ain't gotta be afraid my broken heart is free
To spread my wings and fly away
Away With you
yeah yeah yeah, ohh ohh ohh

I don’t wanna be without my baby
I don’t wanna a broken heart
Don’t want to take a breath with out my baby
I don’t wanna play that part
I know that I love you
But let me just say
I don’t want to love you in no kind of way..No..No
I don’t want a broken heart
I don’t wanna play the broken-hearted girl..No..No..
No broken-hearted girl
Broken-hearted girl No…no…
No broken-hearted girl
No broken-hearted girl

for experience's sake...

2009-10-10T09:28:00.000-07:00

i slaughtered a chicken today. Me. I still cant believe I did that... it was like in a horor movie scene..except that everything was sunny and happy in the morning...all KPLI teacher trainees were there, there were like 50 chickens being slaughtered this morning.. blood everywhere, headless chickens by d gate, some in a huge wok, some on the tables to be cleansed..I, was among the last few to do it... niat dlm hati tidak mau menyembelih sbb takut kesian... dont get me wrong, i love eating chicken meat of all meat, but hey, i believe some ppl r not born to do those things...n killing an animal so helpless n small is the last thing i'd want to do to eat...but for experience's sake, i tried...because they say, u'll never know it ntil u try right? so i obeyed...it was easy yet im NOT proud of myself...even tho its an achievement that we now know how chickens we eat evryday are slaughtered......for experience's sake.................... :(

to love is to let go

2009-08-15T20:34:00.001-07:00

I have been talking about this thing that happend to me to a number of people like my sis and other gfs (thanx guys). Today, i want to 'write' them down... but- how can you write how you really feel with words? sbb sbnarnya dlm hati ni mcm rojak jak ku rasa....macam2 perasaan yg melanda... and to make things worse, they do contradict at times.... sometimes i feel angry, yet i feel so free... sometimes sad, but oh am i glad... i feel like im drowning in these nonsense but am glad that things went so wrong, so messed up because, in a way, Im beginning to understand one way of loving. To love is to let go.
Yes I was wronged and maybe I had my fair share of fault in that. Maybe I was too firm, too stone-headed, too disrespectful, too agressive, too loving, too caring, too clingy, too shy, too hopeful, too angry, too showy, too joyful, too open, too hot n cold, you name it. Now that i realize it, Im letting go... of this anger, frustation, and hope. And because im a hopeless romantic*sighs*, this will be a little hard to do... but God please, please, help me, give me strength to do it...help me, love me, God, so that i can learn to love right and let love go... Amin.

On the 1st day of August

2009-08-04T09:49:00.000-07:00

On the 1st day of August
2009.
Bruised real bad threw my hands up.
I gave up.
I hate you.
Because I loved you.
You were soul my friend and my all.
Wouldn't ask you why or even let you see me cry.
Because after six years of romance, friendship, kinship, and bullshit...
You are dead to me.

IPG life...

2009-07-16T11:50:00.000-07:00

Wweweeweew....^__^ its been a month since i've 'touched' this blog.... and it feels like just yesterday when i camme to IP Gaya...

I have so much to share...where do i begin?:) Well, I live off campus but not far tho (so thankful 4 dat). My sis n her hubby lives nearby also... This house i live in is alright, the rent is not expensive, i have good housemates (they drive me to maktab,hehe). My TESL classmates are AWESOME (i have to say that because i know some of them peeks my blog, hahaha). But they really are...awesome ppl..they like jokes i like jokes, they like eating n lepaking in the cafe i also like... We all come from different backgrounds n experience...great ppl.

My lecturers- can be rated accrdingly to scale 1-10 la...most i give 8 or 9 la...others, err 5 or 6... for some reasons. But wat's important is that they have experience in this thing-education. My tutor of course, i give 9.99 lah... if 10 no more room improvement pulok..n that's not a good thing. He's a 10 because he talks straight to d point, honest, frank, n drop dead funny! n his jokes are from real life experience, dats a plus :) i really enjoy dat guy.

So u see reader, life is so far so good... but not great. We have loads of assignments n almost everyday will we be in the field or tennis court or basketball court running around, kawat, playing ball n wat not...n to say the worst, we are all broke, getting into IPG is not cheap ok! Allowance will be issued in September ot October....hurk...i want my daddy n mommy... :(

Another Rezqi... Alhamdulillah...

The Moment(s) of Truth Happens This Week

2009-06-16T02:02:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow. And then Friday. It's like waiting for Eid after long challenging days of Fasting and patience... It will be worth it...Whatever result it might be. I am hopeful, praying and happy that my wait is finally going to end. It's like I've been waiting and not realising that I was actually an umemployed person for months! ;)

After my contract ended in SMTT in December, I applied for GSTT earlier this year, it was later in March that I found out I wasn't qualified because of my age. Yes, it was the sole reason I was rejected. I was informed that they now have a new ruling that GSTT applicants must be 24++ year olds. I do not know why. So i never bothered and applied for KPLI and DPLI, and decided to wait, while I tutor kids at home and a few thru the internet. No income, as sorry I could possibly be, but thank Lord my parents understands.

My stay at home had been meaningful and a revelation for me. Meaningful because I have finally learned to get along (communication-wise) with my parents. I have always been a stone headed, middle child, who never listens, demanding, and the oh-so-rebellious type!(I did made my mom cry a few times when I was a teen and am NOT proud of it). But my 24-hour stay in this house after i graduated had somehow made me feel important, needed (I helped around, and cooked), and I had more time to not only spend time with my parents, cook for them, but also TALKED to them. I can suprise myself by saying that they are my FRIENDS now. How it happened, I can't describe it with words but looking at what I have been through for the past months, time is all you need.

I am glad with the time I spent on whatever I did lately. Because when the time you're waiting for comes, it's worth it, and is always meant to be.

Channelling my Feelings...

2009-06-14T09:11:00.000-07:00

This song is more or less is what i'm feeling lately... A song by Ada Band, from their album a couple of years back...

As i listened, yes, it hit me... made me all gloomy and sad too (damn song!). Imagine being in a relationship of 6 years with a man you know as a friend, a listener, a boyfriend and also a family. But as you grow up together, you begin to grow apart... I don't know what's happening. *sobs*

Dahulu terasa indah
Tak ingin lupakan
Bermesraan selalu jadi
Satu kenangan manis

Tiada yang salah
Hanya aku manusia bodoh
Yang biarkan semua ini permainkanku
Berulang ulang ulang kali

Reff :
Mencoba bertahan sekuat hati
Layaknya karang yang dihempas sang ombak
Jalani hidup dalam buai belaka
Serahkan cinta tulus di dalam takdir

Tak ayal tingkah lakumu
Buatku putus asa
Kadang akal sehat ini
Belum cukup membendungnya

Hanya kepedihan
Yang selalu datang menertawakanku
Engkau belahan jiwa
Tega menari indah di atas tangisanku

Reff :
Mencoba bertahan sekuat hati
Layaknya karang yang dihempas sang ombak
Jalani hidup dalam buai belaka
Serahkan cinta tulus di dalam takdir

Tapi sampai kapankah kuharus
Menanggungnya kutukan cinta ini
Bersemayam dalam kalbu

Bridge :
Semua kisah pasti ada akhir
Yang harus dilalui
Begitu juga akhir kisah ini
Yakinku indah

ceh!

2009-06-11T02:14:00.001-07:00

Puas aku marah2 & penat tggu result KPLI... Ditunda la pulak.... Hmph....... tatau nak cakap apa lg....

Menunggu Panggilan Kemasukan KPLI Jun 2009

2009-06-11T01:02:00.000-07:00

Tunggu dan tunggu. Waiting is all i can do right now. tawakkal. berserah. Whatever the result say i will accept it with an open heart. Because that's what grown-ups do. But to think of it, some people in the Kementerian Pelajaran is are not so grown up in the head. KPLI result was supposed to come out today. So we assume today, starting from 12 a.m. anyone could check their status whether they are successful or not. But no, nothing came out on the website about KPLI June intake!Not even a notice of POSTPONEMENT! For me, i slept early last night, with the thought of "maybe the website will be busy by then and better check them in the morning when u'r all fresh and together with the whole family because anything happens, the beloved ones are there for me"... But guess what? since morning, well maybe not so morning, *lol*, i've been sitting in front of thwe computer and nothing appears on the friggin website. Now is 4.26 P.m. I guess if the people in the Kementerian is still not being professional about this. The other day, if i'm not mistaken, the results for KPLI interviews were postopned for a week, and then another 2 or 3 days. What happened? Were there any reasons or explanations? No. I know that patience is needed for us applicants, but are'nt there any remorse on their side?not one bit? Most people are not lucky enough to have facillities like the internet at home. Some KPLI applicants are even bambong (Tawau vernacular for 'the unemployed'). God. *eyes rolled* In foreign countries, which i experienced and know of, the government communication with its citizens is the primary concern form of communication. People depend on the government. We people want to get into the governnment through KPLI for God sake. *eyes tired of rolling up*... Is this the example that there are portraying?!

DPLI Interview

2009-05-26T07:27:00.000-07:00

Im back! :) As promised, this post will be about my DPLI interview. So there i was, in UITM (Tawau branch) at 8.30 am, filled a form, and sat with all the other applicants. I met some schoolmates and a collegue from SMTT. We chatted and I realised that i was the only one applying for TESL and the others are mostly Perniagaan or Perdagangan or something. Weird. Minutes later, there were facillitators calling us one by one, assessed our forms and conducted a color blind test. When it was my turn, they said I'd be selected for sure because my degree suits tesl. Point taken, I said, but then, you'll never know.. I was not really nervous about this interview, i don't know why...

It didn't take long for my turn. I knocked on the door, greeted the 2 fellows(who were lecturers from UMS), gave them my file (of original certificates, KPLI interview needed us to have copies of certificated ones), and waited for the offer to sit. He spoke Bahasa Malaysia to me, so i replied in Bahasa too. The other officer noticed my documents and asked me to speak in English.

I started to introduce myself, my name, when n where i graduated from, and then my teaching experience. He asked why i wanted to be a teacher, i told them that its a dream since school, my idols and guide are my teachers, my parents are teachers and finally a promising lifestyle a person can achieve teaching.

The next quiry suprised me, he said 'why, would you want to choose UMS of all universities?' His tone was quite 'demeaning' a little...Padahal diorang lectuer UMS pun. So I said that UMS is nearer to my hometown and that I do think UMS has its own reputation. I heard good things about it, like its research and efforts on the environment. I am a person who is concerned about the environment, sirs. (hihi,honestly, true, of course!)

Later, we talked about students' current issues, especially on students' less interests in English, especially those in the rural areas. I started to suggest ways to increase their interests, change their perceptions on English, having fun attractive activities they can participate in, and have trips to the towns where English is everywhere and what not. Basically, it all comes down to people are not able to survive or be successfull without knowing even a little abput English language, the language of information, not the language of mere identity (for Malaysians).

After that, he still underlined to me that teaching students with these kind of problems are difficult and that most teachers nowadays would only teach and finish the syllabus per se, without ever wanting to really teach and make sure every student achieves something. So then I shared about my view or shall i say philosophy of teaching- teaching is not just about teaching, but to learn, and a great teacher do not only teach the students but they learn from them as well. How do teachers learn from students? It is in his/her awareness of the students' progress by looking at their response, accepting their opinions, and then realizes that the learning process really did happen at that time. I like participation in class, so that we don't only teach a subject matter, but also a skill, a communication skill, whether it is between teacher to student, or student to fellow student, or a student to the whole audience/class.

"So is it not about the money as a teacher?the salary?" No of course not sir. The real 'salary' is given by God. Our deeds that we do as teachers. It is to teach.

They said that's all Suhaila, thank you. I thank them too.

*end of interview*

KPLI & DPLI

2009-05-24T14:42:00.000-07:00

It went well. Both of them. My KPLI (Kursus Perguruan Lepasan Ijazah) and DPLI (Diploma Pendidikan Lepasan Ijazah) interview for TESL course. For those who dont know KPLI and DPLI is a 10-months course that qualifies a post-graduate to become a teacher. KPLI is for those who will be teaching in primary schools and DPLI for secondary, community colleges or polytech colleges. I was lucky enough to be selected to sit for the examinations and made through both interviews. Thousands have applied.

Going through the application was not easy, for KPLI especially, one would have to sit for Mtest, an asessment about personality, arithmetic skill, and what not. The interview on the other hand, consits of 3 parts; the witten test, the group discussion asessment, and the individual interview. Mine went okay the other day, I was the last person to be called in for the individual interview so there were no more nervousness. LOL. The 'butterflies' in my stomach were actually tired of waiting.

As for DPLI, Medsi is the name of the examination. This one needs applicants who obtained degrees with CGPA 2.75 and above. Mine, 3.0 above, no problemo~ LOL. Anyways, the Medsi exam was quite easy, just to test one's personality and interests towards teaching. There were multiple choice answers, 300 questions to be answered within 1 hour.

The part I remember most in this experience is none other than the interview itself. For KPLI individual interview, as i mentioned, was tiring, all because of the waiting. I had to be there before 11 am, and it ended at 2/3 pm. Yes, imagine that. The panel interviewer were both men, lecturers from Maktab Gaya, KK. The questions were:

1/ what have you prepared for this interview?
A- i have read and equipped myself with some information about the history, status, and issues of education in this country. My sources were texbooks, reference books, magazines, newspapers, and some from the internet. (at this point my butterflies came back, fearing questions i have no idea of!!!)

2/ Good. You are teaching?
A- Currently no. My teaching contract ended in December as a GSTT. And then..blah blah blah...

3/ Can you share one sweet memory while you were teaching?
A- (i started smiling, like a kid who were given some chocs)It had to be during the camping trip to Balung River, it was a motivational, come induction course for GSTT from the school..blah blah blah...(what we did)

4/ What makes a great teacher?
A- (O gosh i thought) A great teacher must not only teach, but also learn from students. Reaching out for them is important, knowing them and engaging them in the teaching-learning process can make learning much more effective and memorable.( I started to state some of my personal experience..)I think i either bored or ammused the panels.. they looked at me weirdly..

5/ Alright. Can you describe these certificates of theatre performances? Were you active in acting?
A- My involvements of extra curricular activities in the university were basically 3 things; theatre, writing, and community service. For theatre, our production called 'Skylark Production' did 2 major performances, one was for English Aprreciation Week, and another was The Literary Appreciation Week.

6/ what did you do in Literary Appreciation Week?
A- I acted. And this was a musical theatre, so there was some singing. However it was challenging because in IIUM, female students shouldnt be singing in performnces but people loved it nevertheless. (the singing was not to promote the beauty of one's voice but merely a story telling in a melody...). he made me promise to have these kinds of activities done in schools if i become an English teacher 1 day.

7/ Since you are quite an expert on the language, can you describe about the grammar?
A- I started to state kinds of sentences, elements in a sentence, tenses (and God knows what came out of me..) Then hr asked the difference between a Verb and Adverb. Easy like peanut this. Cant imagine if the interviewer was Sir Grammatical Analysis, the Australian, my lecturer. LOL.

8/ Good. So do you have any questions?
A- Not for now sir, no.
