Photos from teratai birthday party.. theme:halloween!

With the birthday gal who dressed up as an angel..

yummylicious bbq food..

Cake cutting

Game 1: Musical Bottles

the guys formed a circle and they were given a bottle each.. The bottle has to be placed between their legs *lalalala* (as shown above).. the galz were to walk in unison around the guys and when the music stops, they have to place a finger inside the bottle (!!!)

Game 2: Sing as loud as u can
basically, u have to shout/sing ur lungs out to win this game.. obviously, the group with more guys win..

u-know-who winning a fan and a battery charger for the lucky draw

group pic

Just when i thought the party has just ended and was about to head home, yunus cant start his car! *panic panic panic* the real party has just begun.. lol.. called his uncle and boy, u shud haf seen him pushing his car.. haha.. semangat kebabat.. thankz to this kind-hearted soul who lend a helping hand.. phew..

oh ya, yunus-the car pusher, composed a song for *ehem ehem ehem* moga2 ditemui jodoh kamu ya.. lol.. enjoy the song.. teehee

and to you who's reading this, yes you.. biar masa dan takdir yang menentukan segala-galanya..

the house Bunny!

1st stop: the art gallery- masks, gorgeous pictures and appetising food

2nd stop: deeparaya concert-dance, skit, fashion show, abdillah saving the lecturers from the rain! haha.. dr M using his oh-so high tech camera phone to take pictures.. teehee

3rd stop: macdonald, the wasabi filet-o-fish is highly NOT reccommended! tak sedap langsung.. giddy and mabok after the meal.. me, isz n yunus walk like some drunkard fellow.. lol

4th stop: shopping for birthday present-ikea, frame, wrapping,

5th stop: watch the house bunny! interesting quotes from anna faris: "the eyes are the nipples of the face" lol

of late nite conversation

An interesting late nite conversation till dawn with this fren of mine really exposes me to the reality of the world.. *winks* hehe.. advice to him: u better get her real fast will you? =)

hari raya? not really

hari raya celebration this year is not really exciting i shud say..not really in the mood i guess.. essay, assignments, projects, presentations = no life.. and packing up my stuff into the big boxes and moving house is NOT the right time.. which means no jalan raya with frenz for me this year, pathetic, yes i know..

p/s: thankz a lot siti khadijah binte hussin for introducing me to flickr, picasa album, picture trail etc to upload the pic.. so much easier lah.. but i tink this one the best.. lol..

of birthday celebration, break fast and geylang

Happy 20th Birthday Sarah! Celebration at Yunnan Garden - muffin, birthday song, presents, games, dancing, laughter.. weeeeeee

Break fast at JP after that and off to geylang with sis and the brothers.. I swear that my legs are super lembek mcm jelly after the long day.. anywayz, let the pictures do the talking yar?

Break fast at Seoul Garden with the klasmatez the day before-food, ice-cream, smoke, F1 track, starbuck, suprises.. again, let the pictures do the talking k?

Progress for my essay is like s** i hate it when the ideas kept lingering in my head but i juz cant tranfer it to paper.. and the pages in my book is slowly tearing up.. great!

im touched

Itz soooo heartwarming to be remembered and appreciated by students although u are not teaching them anymore.. I feel that thatz the greatest gift that a teacher can ask for.. Having said that, an ex student of mine approached me at the boon lay interchange while Im on my way back from school with the galz. Apology to khairul (although u wont be reading this) for taking some time to remember u.. Haf a quick chat with him, asking howz hez doing etc etc.. and i met with another group of primary 4 boyz when alighting from the bus 300.. Itz uber-ultra-very sweet of them to alight from the same bus they already board just to salam me.. Their hyper, excited, innocent, naive look on their faces just touched me, considering how i was so strict-mean-wicked to them before.. haha.. so, i chatted with them while waiting for another bus to arrive coz i feel guilty as they purposely missed the bus juz to greet me.. it amazed me how at such a yong age, they are able to voice out their honest and sincere opinions and views aboout the teachers, school, the system.. ended the coversation with a few words of advice, and off they board the next bus, waving goodbye to me.. =)

anywayz, juz wanna share the extra work teachers have to do besides conducting lessons.. below are the newsletters for the parents, reporting to them what we have been doing with their kids..lol. i can still remember that me and the other staff were complaining and cursing when doing this a few years back coz each of us has to actually prepare one for each class for each term, mind you.. leceh kan..

Pri 1, the adorable sweet little kids

Pri 3, the well-behaved class

Pri 4- the cekik darah class.. if you can survive this class, u can survive other classes

outdated entries

I realized that i owe sooo many people meetups and breaking fast together esp the galfrenz.. that shows what a lazy bum bum i am and the piling school work that has been bombarding me.. apologies to those that i rejected their offers.. will make up for it soon yar..

okiee.. these are just of the few pictures that i managed to upload.. will upload the rest if I haf the time.. teehee

Khilaf, pilihlah keinsafan

Teachers' Day

Received this from Encik Azmi, Riang Ria.. =)

Exchange of gifts

I just hate rehearsal during the fasting month.. Moreover, im like really slow in memorizing the dance steps..

uber cuteness

u got to seee this! recommended by aishah.. betol betol betol! bila nak buka sama2 ni aishah? hehe

crazy is the word

1 production down and 1 more dance performance to go.. weeee.. since when shaheeda semangat kebabat dengan bidang seni ni? heh.. but seriously being involved in the production whether u are the cast, the dancers or the crew is no easy job i tell u.. left me mentally and physically drained until my skol work satu habuk pun blum buat..

anywayz, yesterday khilaf was ok i guess.. too many stuff to do until i totally forget to snap pictures.. and meeting with the gals-fifi, eni and hid plus hafiz and taufik is totally crazy.. crazy talks, crazy laugh, crazy ride home, crazy hugs.. kalau semua dah mabok dan mengantok kecoh betol.. miss u galz lah.. supper after that at cck and by the time i reach home itz like already 2 plus..

off to do some serious catching up.. *mcm betol je* will upload the pictures when the reliable photographer *points at someone* hehe pass me the pics..

kuih

Ended the first week of skol by helping out at the perbayu stall.. catch a glimpse of the NIE Project Runway and i haf to admit that this year models/costumes are drop dead gorgeous.. and ainee is like getting excited over this suria celebrity *gasp* that we bumped into, "eh! tu actor suria kan? hensem sey!" i replied, "aku rasa dia datang untuk support gf dia lah.. dah jom balik letak kuih ni (with my eyes stealing a glimpse of him..lol)" speaking of the kuih, we actually make a trip to the malay lecturers' room to sell them and i haf to thank Dr R for being so generous to buy half of the bulk.. after which, we packed up and slack, eat and rot at NTU..

tmr off to bt timah cc wif the BIG bag of makeup.. wanna start my skol work but the long break is fully occupied with stuff.. wherez my priority? takpe.. baru first week.. relax2 jap.. then nanti towards the end of the sem macam ayam berak kapor..

on a sidenote, i tink bollywood/indonesian celebrities are gorgeous, cantik giler, jambu maut.. see what i mean..

deeply missed

met faizal.. i was supposed to treat him lunch for his oh so smart brain but ended up he treating me! so in conclusion i still owe him one treat.. nice meet up and if you are reading this your teka teki cum riddles are soo kelakar and kental ah.. and do include me as one of the shareholders for your stall yar if the money is gooOOOOd..

anyway, pampered my hair with the spa and oxygen treatment coz itz on a promotion.. itz sooo cooling and refreshing i tell you.. highly reccommended.. the hairdresser, CoCo suggested i permed my hair at the ends but no no no.. i dont dare to add chemicals on my virgin hair..

skol starting next week.. new sem but still the old clothes, the old shoes, the old bag etc.. 3 months of holiday is never enough, dont u think so?

I suddenly miss my nenek..

unexpected

Setiap kehidupan di dunia ini pasti akan kembali kepadaNya.

Unexpected call.. Unexpected time.. Unexpected.. Plans for the 1st and 3rd day cancelled..

happy happy happy!

Okie dokie! This is a rambling entry about the sch experience and for those who are not teachers wannabe or haf no passion in teaching or whatsoever, pardon me yar..

Sch experince in the primary school is FUN! weeeeeeee... I wanna thank Cikgu Nasrudin for his wonderful coaching.. He taught me how to construct a proper lesson plan, shared tips in classroom management blah blah blah and even gave me a template observation sheet.. Interestingly, this school malay department is has only 1 female teaher and the rest male.. funny ah.. rarely come across a malay department flooded with male teachers..

oh ya.. cikgu wasted like 5 minutes on the first day teaching each level a new song just to greet me.. im touched.. seriously.. so here it goes..

Mari hormat guru

Kita timba ilmu

Sama-sama maju

Hingga ke akhir waktu

Selamat Sejahtera Cikgu Shaheeda!
(sing to the tune of Happy birthday to u, Happy bithday to u...)
Im like blushing and tersipu malu mcm kambing biri-biri when they greeted me with that song.. so dengan muka penuh semangatnya, im trying to be ultra responsive by saying "apa kata kita dedikasikan lagu yang sama kepada cikgu nasrudin?" but i received blank faces and absolute silence from the students which translates to they dun understand the meaning of dedikasikan.. cikgu then intervene by asking the students to sit down and continue with his lesson.. *deng*

So... On the last day, friday, i decided to be oh wanita melayu terakhir by wearing the baju kurung.. So when i entered the hall, instead of saying hello and hi (which prabu usually does), he is like, "Why are u wearing that outfit?! Dont u know that every friday is a workout/exercise day?"

So imagine me clad in baju kurung, doing some stretching exercise, jumping jack with only the hands moving, jog on the spot etc.. and some soul (u know who) even asked me to remind him to wear sarong next friday! lol.. I was perspiring profusely after that (that shows that i haf not been exercising) and while heading towards the saff room after that while wiping my sweat, a student exclaimed "cikgu! nari baju cikgu cantik ah!" Dengan muka tempe and tak tahu malu, i replied, "baju je cantik, cikgu tak cantik ke?"

an interesting conversation with cikgu R after he went for his friday prayers.. He just joined the teaching force last year and hez like sharing his practicum experience and the lecturers etc.. im like SUPER SCARED after hearing his story.. he told me that how the lectures can be super nice in skol but super nasty and strict when it comes to practicum especially ........ imagine getting a D for classroom management and one of his frends actually quit when he failed his practicum..

oh ya.. i received an email from mdm tan.. shez uber sweet lah.. This kind of email really lit up my day and motivates me to teach teach teach and inspire me to be a dedicated educator!

To you it may be just a help-out but to the Management you are someone who is willing to go that extra mile for the pupils. I am sure you will be a good and dedicated teacher in the future. Keep up this good spirit! Hope you are posted to our school next year for the Teaching Assistantship, so that we can have more opportunities to work together and learnt from each other.

back to cikgu class, (ok.. this entry is like messy but im just typing what i can recall) hez like super funny in his lessons and i haf to put on a straight face to prevent myself from laughing.. One whole week of observation made me realize what a boring/strict/no nonsense teacher i used to be.. for example the use of extrinsic motivation and punishment (sound familiar?)

Cikgu Nasrudin's

Mine

ok.. enough of skol.. on a happier note, im officially an aunt/makcik/bibik! *jump jump* my sister just huffed and puffed a healthy baby girl.. Congrats sister and brother in law.. Moga2 Allah memberkati kakak sekeluarga.. Dari adikmu tersayang.. *puke*

unisex toilet...

Met sulaiman and shahril for our meetup per semester thingy.. last sem at pizza hut and this sem at seoul garden.. sadly, siti cant make it coz of some last minute thing.. sulaiman managed to purchase adidas cap while waiting for the most senior member to arrive.. sempat tersengih sengih walaupun dah sejam lambat.. lol.. spent like 3++ hours, chatting and eating sampai perut nak meletup.. *burpp* chatted stuff like shahril holiday experience.. a total of 10k++++ spent excluding flight.. WOW.. i only managed to reach that mark only after my age reached 20 and he spent it like in 2 weeks?

Lucky dude who gets a babe for massage instead of a guy (which he claimed aku betol2 taknak..yak yak), thai show (which i overheard as tiger show), overseas food and dining experience, hotel etc etc.. found out that sulaiman is posted to my sis skol.. lol.. aku akan pastikan yang kau kene bully.. heh.. so guys, next sem kat mana kat mana?

---

today's induction at the primary school is FUN! weeeeee.. happy to see familiar faces like crystal.. and make frenz with the new teachers, especially this new tamil teacher, forgot his name already, (prabu?) hez getting overly excited about this unisex toilet.. hahaha.. in case you are wondering, this school actually has a unisex toilet shared by both male and female staff.. As the female staff population in the school is overwhelming, they actually convert the male toilet to a unisex toilet but the female toilet toilet still remains.. get it? hehe.. so mdm tan jokingly remind us to always lock the door when doing our business in case the other species suddenly pop up.. lol

the school actually won the happy toilet award.. The female toilet is awesome i tell u.. ok.. jakun.. Therez like curtains and flowers and potted plants and chairs and mini table and it lookz more like a room rather than a toilet..

---

shopping with sis yesterday.. bought a few stuff and ate at delifrance.. itz been quite some time i went out with her.. and mom been nagging coz of i have been out everyday..

ok people, till next time.. enjoy the holidayz!

Row Row Row Your Kayak...

Pool At Safra
Met up with the galz at tamp for kayaking.. Initially, the weather is not too kind to us and thus we headed down to safra for a game of pool while waiting for the sun to shine.. Itz been ages since i play but it was pretty fun. Teamed up with feeza and we won! Thankz to ain and sarah who pocketed our cue balls..

The galz battling it out

Kayak At Bedok
Although my legs are aching due to this activity, but it was fun! Paired up with ain this time around and shez really good in teaching us how to paddle, turn etc.. Had a race with the other pair-feeza and sarah and we won! I was more excited in keeping the motivation level up like "Cepat kayuh, ain! cepat! cepat!" rather than paddling.. lol..

Mad Jack

Finally, lunch at mad jack.. By the time we reached there, legs aching, tummy rumbling.. The brownie topped with vanilla ice cream is superb!

Looking forward to next week.. Meeting up with gesl mates, galfrenz and most prob NIE classmates for iceskating! weeeeeeee
