Post-Teacher's Day Celebration: The Perks of Being a Teacher...

Assalamualaikum and dear blog,

Last Thursday (16th May 2013) was Teacher's Day in Malaysia...the whole nation celebrate us teacher... the same as my school.. alhamdulillah we managed to organise a humble celebration.. started at 8.15 with the usual things.. Perutusan KPM, Perutusan Pengarah Pelajaran Negeri...ucapan guru besar..nyanyian lagu Guru Malaysia yada..yada..yada... I think most of you know how things rolls during the Teacher's Day celebration at school. Then we have the performances by students and teachers....basically it is the same every year.

But what I want to share with you is the calls and SMSes that I received from former students of mine back in Kelantan.. Alhamdulillah they still remember me.. One of them called me from the public phone at her hostel (she managed to get a place in a good secondary school in Kuala Lipis)... she thanks me for everything and told that because of me she managed to score A in English and loving the subject even more... Alhamdulillah I have touched a soul during my short two years in Gua Musang, Kelantan.

Another one give an SMS stating that I am still her favourite teacher hehehhe "kembang hidung" a bit lah.. But what ever it is these calls and SMSes reconcile my faith and interest in this teaching profession.. as I have stated in the previous post.. I am facing (and still) problems with the current students... I will work my ass out for them for sure...being a garang teacher or what it is for their own good..(it seems that being goody-goody teacher is not working and I have to be stern with them.. I am sorry kids..)

What ever it is I will work hard.. thanks Allah.. thanks everyone..

p/s: My status as  the least favourite teacher is confirmed with only 2 teacher's day present received from the kids.. hahahah It hurts a bit inside meh.. :(

Letting It Out

Assalamualaikum and dear blog...

I have come to my third year of teaching English.. and what I can conclude is that TEACHING ENGLISH to youngsters is HARD... that's all.. :(

Ya Allah I have tried all the things that I know to try to push the kids harder.. it just they seems reluctant to be mold...(guys this is not only me having such problem..all the teachers are at their ends in trying to solve the kids' laziness and how they are reluctant to learn.. and only a few parents are really working together with the school to help us help their kids.. Ya Allah help me to help the kids..

I am currently hitting rock bottom... every time I come back home, my mind can't stop thinking of the kids and how to overcome my current predicament... Well I have to say that this is the HARDEST group of children that I was given the opportunity to work with..mind you I have been given kids in the last classes before but they turn up well.. they try to do my work..they try to please me in the class by doing the work properly... current one? not close to the previous kids and I am still in search of the cure...

p/s: Sometimes I wish that the administration will give me lower primary classes to teach... because teaching exam classes do drain my brain out... with the smaller kids... it always fun..fun and fun.. I know lah people I had a fair share in teaching the smaller kids.. and I do find that I find satisfaction in teaching them the most compare to my current situation...haisk.. please lah don't say just because I am a guy I can't teacher the smaller kids...

p.s.s: sorry if you think that my rambling is just ungrateful ke ape.. I LOVE TEACHING but I am just having some difficulties, need to channel it out  and trying to calm myself.. sorry..sorry sorry..

Housekeeping!

Assalamualaikum,

Dear readers (if I still have any hehehehe),

It has been long since I neglected this blog... my last entry is when I got to know my posting back in 2011... wowwwww! More than two years I have abandoned this dusty and cobweb infested blog... Sorry blog.. being posted in  that rural area where internet connection is rather slow would dampened one's interest in blogging...

But hey! I am now in a place where the internet connection is stable.. now I can come up with my blog again insyaAllah... :) ok just a starter after 2 years ++ hiatus

Just wait for my next entry :D

p/s: been feeling that I need a place to pour out my feeling lately... hence the post hahahha
