Bits & Pieces of Me

          MTC juga di panggil M4P.   Maktab Perguruan Persekutuan P Pinang. It has always been in my mind. ..This is the place. The place where I studied to become a teacher.            Recently saya berpeluang menjejakkan kaki ke sana lagi.kali ini berjaya persuading the guard to let me in.Susahnya nak pujuk guard tu. But akhirnya dia bagi saya masuk.           The minute mata saya memerhati sekeliling...hati rasa sayu.Semua dah berubah.Tiada lagi tempat2 saya dan si dia duduk bersembang..Entah kemana jalan2 kecil tempat kami susuri waktu petang selepas aktiviti di maktab.                Namanya pun dah berubah menjadi Institiut Pendidikan Guru Kampus P Pinang. I was lost in this familiar place.The place once so close to my heart.  New buildings took the place of the old ones. Suddenly it looked so strange to me.. ...

                                                               Hi there....                                 Teachers getting ready for the day..Me in the most front in chili red dress.                                                                     ...

                                                            A  short getaway..                        At the airport..nmpak gemuk macam berat 80 kg..haha.                                                           beautiful....I mean the scenery.                     ...

        Its been quite a long time since I last appeared here. Just to wish all of you Selamat hari Raya Aidil Adha. Maaf zahir bathin.

  Saya nyanyi untuk anda semua..terimalah."Fatwa Pujangga."                                                                 Khas untuk pengunjung blog yang tak sepertinya ini. terimalah sebuah lagu untuk hiburan anda.Lagu ini telah saya nyanyikan semasa hari persaraan guru besar saya akhir tahun lepas.masa buka ni suspen sikit.tunggu beberapa saat baru boleh play dan dengar suara saya tau.so sabar....               Sorry ada satu bahagian selepas chorus yang telah tiba2 hilang pulak suara saya...kita bukan recording artist  penyanyi cerok dapor saja..sorry kalau ada flaws sana sini.Just for you all.here it is.       ...

        It was a beautiful morning. Saya masuk nak mulakan pengajaran hari itu..tajuk hari tu nak membina ayat dalam Past Tense. ..         Selepas diterangkan sikit sebanyak , drill dan soaljawab.maka murid2 pun memulakan latihan bertulis.         Selalunya  masa budak menulis saya akan menyanyi2 kecil sambil meronda melihat kerja mereka. Kadang2 saya bercerita..         Hari tu saya cerita pasai buah2an dalam syurga. Bagaiman buah2an itu hanya within reached. Tak payah guna galah panjang, tak payah pakai tangga. Apa makanan yang di inginkan belum di sebut dah terhidang di depan mata..        "Kamu ni kebanyaknya belum baligh..dosa belum dikira, so buat baik banyak2.  balik umah hari ni mula dengan sembahyang..jangan tinggal. nanti boleh masuk syurga."        Setiap kali bercerita pasai syurga I could se...

        Saya di dalam kelas 5C. menggantikan kawan yang tak sihat.         "Good morning class "   Saya isi masa itu mengajar grammar. Pronouns.  habis drilling ,tiba masa menulis latihan, teringat saya nak bertanya.       "  Sapa dalam kelas ni dah tak ada emak atau bapa."       "  Saya teacher." sorang budak laki mengangkat tangan.       "  Mak atau ayah? kemana depa? meninggal? "       "  Dak aih.ada dua2.tapi saya dok dengan tok."       "  la, mak ayah pi mana? "       "  mak tak suka ayah, ayah pun tak suka mak dah.Depa cerai.tok bela saya."      Terkedu saya.pasai lapulak saya bawa topik ni.mesti ada yang sedih nanti.Ish.      " kamu tak jumpa dah depa? "      "Ada . masa cuti...

        Orang kata kita dengar kita lupa. tapi kita buat kita ingat.That's why the children and their teacher decided buat sandwich last 2 weeks. haha..        Bukan apa .just to make them understand some common cooking terms .Bukan semua budak tau apa itu DICE, CHOP, SPREAD, MIX, MASH,SLICE.BLEND.CUT ,GARNISH..DAN LAIN LAIN.        So bila buat sandwich dengan muka masing2 excited gila...syok la sangat.sandwich je pun. kanak2...... bila dapat pegang bawang, dengan pakai apron pulak tu. Spreading butter on the bread..amboi bukan main suka lagi.Sampai teacher tak sempat nak explain banyak.Semua dah tau what to do.       Cuma selang seli la dengan soalan.     "What are you doing now.? "     " I am slicing the cucumber teacher. " or " I am doing the plating teacher. "       Syok tengok muka2 kecik buat kerja masing2..    ...

         Its been like years since I last wrote in this blog. No big reasons actually.just plain tired, no mood to start even though there were so many things to write and share with everyone out there.            So today lets start about something.I want to write about this boy. Now he is in form 1.        Zainudin. (not his real name ).I noticed he was quite naughty the first day I entered the class..The last class . 6 C. A pint sized boy.pointed nose. and a smile on the face every time he saw me .    The first 2 months was the hell of a time for me. Half of the class did not even know simple verbs like pray, wash, wear , put..etc etc. I know that very minute I would have a tough time here.    Everyday we would be reading, drilling on action words like the above..I made them memorize. Maybe its not the way to most teachers , but to me i...

                Ramai dah kawan2 have the chance to visit Ho Chi Minh City. now its my turn.                                            With friends at KLIA.                  Ho Chi Minh City..here I am.On the streets there was barely room for anything else.banyknya motorcycles. Kereta boleh di kira dengan jari..Mostly all of the people wear sunglasses and masks on their faces...debu banyak. Formally known as Saigon Ho Chi Minh city is the largest city in Vietnam.             Some pictures from  the internet. How people of Vietnam suffer during the Vietnam war from 1945 to 1...

             She was my childhood friend.berkawan sjak dulu sampai sekarang. She is now living in KL with her children. Been a long time since she last came, since we last met..              Last week on Wednesday pi ambik dia kat airport Kepala Batas Alor Star . Then mulala sessi jejak kasih with her relatives. I took her to see her aunties, cousins, uncles and neighbours masa di sini dulu.              I took her around Perlis.Negeri kecik , sat saja dah habis satu negeri..Mana nak bawa melawat?                          Makan laksa di Kuala Perlis, beli buah2 kampung on the way, Pdg Besar beli buah lagi, and blouses( which are not cheap any longer )..              This morning ...

Dear readers and friends..        Bila mengenjak ke usia lanjut ni, rupanya bawa payung sangat berguna.. Last 2 days I was in Cameron . Dengan hujan nya , dengan licinnya..maka payung di tangan sangat membantu..       Orang kiri kanan tengok ja.Tapi semua akan faham, makcik sorang ni pakai payung to support herself in case there're  holes here and there. ..boleh juga membantu kalau tanah tak rata kan..If I am younger maybe I would use the umbrella for self defence..kalau ada org kacau.kan?       Dalam bahasa mudah ni peringkat awal pakai tongkat la..he he...                                    Hi sweethearts out there..Saya dengan payung ...tak lepas tu.     I was thinking about UPSR actually. Pi mana pun suka duduk mcm ni now. bertongkat dagu.Perihal budak2 kena re-sit for ...

            Orang kata lagi dekat nak peksa jangan mengajar lagi.biaq budak relax..betui ke?                       This morning at school..while waiting for all to come. My pupils and I sat on the bench and talked like old friends..I shared their stories, little2 things..we got closer that way..                 lagi dekat nak melangkah ke dewan peksa lagi kerap saya jumpa budak2 dan pesan itu ini..Primary school pupils are not like university students..experience has taught me..lagi dekat tarikh peksa lagi kerap kena sembang.Petua itu petua ini..               My last words ." dont disapoint me.."               All ...

Slepas 7 bulan bertungkus lumus mengadap muka budak2 tu .Pagi class , ptg kelas tambahan pulak..now dah melarat ke Saturday pulak..lagi dekat lagi la rasa macam ada saja benda tak cukup di perturunkan..       Budak2 pulak dah dekat sangat peksa ada saja yang nak test kesabaran mak cik tua ni..
