Saint Brendan's Catholic School Part 1

hello pretty earthlings!

ok i'm bored. i have nothing much to do so i shall update on my teaching experience okay? i just found the right time to blog about this.

well, TE lasted for 5 days. thank god. it's only for 5 days. phew. Me, Najwa, Naia and Shud were assigned to St Brendan's Catholic School in Heretaunga, Upper Hutt. it's 45 minutes journey from the Wellington station by train. at first, i was quite nervous and worried knowing that we are about to go to Catholic school. i have a lot of questions in my mind. what if we are not welcome in there? what if they don't like us being there? what if the students ask us about our Hijab? what if they are prejudice and skeptical towards us? what if they being racist towards us? thank God. none of them happened. i feel glad. i feel totally blessed. because they (teachers + students) were super duper nice towards us. they greeted us with with warm smiles. our associated teachers were very easy to get along with and very friendly.

okay. for the 1st and 2nd day of TE. we didn't do much things. me partnered with Najwa (wawa). our associate teacher was Karolina. for the 1st and 2nd days. what we did was only the observation. we observed the teaching and learning process. we observed the students (the misbehavior they did), we observed how Karolina began and ended the lesson, we observed how Karolina managed the classroom and many more. Karolina was being very helpful to us. she did explain to us for every single thing she did during the lesson. she amazed me very much. thank you so much Karolina for the explanation, information that you have shared with us. we totally appreciate it :)

and for the kids. they were so adorable, cute, awesome, cool and warm :) i love them very much. i think i started liking the kids. hehe.

a convo that i had with one of the kids:

Me: so, i guess you are supporting All White for the World Cup?

Kid: yeah, of course. they are doing absolutely well so far. what about you?

Me: well, Germany is my fav.

Kid: why Germany? you should be supporting Malaysia?

Me: errr, i think you are not aware that Malaysia didn't qualify for the World Cup.

Kid: ohh, so why are you supporting Germany? is Germany near Malaysia?

Me: errk..well, i love their teamwork spirit. Btw, Malaysia is not near Germany. *laugh*

i did take pictures of the classroom and the school after getting Karolina's permission. let the pics do the explanation kay?

students' artwork being displayed on the wall. cool right?

some of the student's creative paintings.

the classroom. Room 5.

the school's corridor.

the school's compound for play and recreation.

that's all i guess for part 1 of the TE. to be continued. wait for me okay?

cheers!

Me.

football is a sin??

hi there,

something bothers my mind. and i need to share it.

i don't really mind of what people have said about World Cup this year. yes. i'm totally ignorant. i don't give a fuss okay? football is my passion. my interest since ages. football made my day. i have been watching football since i was a kid. and now, some people make some noise about that, tell me to stop watching WC. what is your problem? what's wrong if i watch WC? i don't understand. i don't think if watching WC will contribute anything to Israel Zionis. it doesn't make any sense. okay. okay. enough said. i'm totally heart broken hearing England loss. what a bullcrap. but, never mind. Germany you have my full support okay? go and kick the ball! Viva Germany!

i'm pretty sure. some people gonna make some noise reading this post. huhu.. no one made a fuss 4 years agoo. why suddenly asks me to stop now. after what happened to Palestine. what does it have to do with WC? i do pray for Palestine. i do pray for my saudara there. how can you be so sure that i have forgotten them because i watch WC? how can you be so sure i don't pray for them because I watch WC? are you a God? i don't understand. why making a fuss now. why not 4 years ago?? Allah knows what's inside my heart. people outta there don't know okay? so stop. stop making a theory. that people who watch WC are ignorant about what happened to Palestine. not all like that okay? yup. i do watch WC. but, i'm not being a fanatic fan. i just watch. i don't forget my prayers. i don't forget to eat, sleep. *sigh* guys, stop being radical. i'm tired of this.

i'm not sure if i'm doing the wrong thing. because people make fuss about it. can anyone tell me if what i'm doing now is wrong? can anyone tell me why is it wrong? i'm totally clueless. do guide me if i'm taking the wrong path. readers, you tell me, am i doing a wrong thing??

ME.

to Queensgate with love.

hello beautiful people.

i'm back again to update! just bear with me okay? hehe..

just got back from a day out with several babes. went to Sky City Malls, Queensgate. it's just about 10 minutes walk ( i think so) from the Meiling station.

went there by train. departed from Wellington station. bought a group day tripper. save lah budget skit. when arrived, we shopped, we browsed, we laughed, we walked and walked and walked till we dropped and finally we ate, ate ate till we were so stuffed >.<

ate at Spice Traders. Indian food is yummyy..nom nom nom. well, agak seksa jugaklah nak abiskan satu set combo tue. memang combo habis lah. dah ade nasi. pastu ade roti nan lagi. tak ker seksa nak abiskan semua.. huhu..serious kenyang gilerr...

siap kepala boleh terhantuk lagi time posing for camera. haha..serious lawak gilerr. LOL.

clap clap! give a round applause to Wanie because she managed to finish her plate. whoa. what a portion. wanie. aku tabik spring kat ko. hehehe.

what a satisfying day i guess. but, i don't really admire the Sky City Mall. not much shops and choices. xde yang menarik di mataku. seriously. i didn't buy anything. just bought few stuff from 2 Dollars shop. huhu.. omgeee..i miss shopping complexes back in Malaysia. sob sob sob. to wrap up. still, it was a great day for me =) thanks housemates, Zaty and Wanie for today. had a lot of fun hanging out with you guys today. Wanie ngan Lily shopped a lot today. ehem ehem. wanita korporat lah katakan lah..hehe..

p/s: i have no idea on how to make my post more interesting. huhu..guys, do lend me your magic words please :(

ok then. ciao for now.

kisses,
Me.

i need a magic touch.

i've lost my blogging mojoooo..what da heck? huhu..i should be blogging about my teaching experience by now. but, i feel lazy out of sudden. hey, what's wrong with me?? i'll update later about it kay? lazy lazy..huhu..

suke sangat bace kawan2 nyer experience. tapi malas nak tulis pasal diri sendiri. ntah ape2 ntah aku nie..huhu

ok ciao!

Me.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Ayah!!

i love you so much dad. thanks for everything that you have done to me ayah.

ayah.
you are the greatest dad on the whole world. nobody can replace your place in my heart.

teringat waktu dulu-dulu.

ayah selalu concern pasal sekolah, study dan exam.
ayah selalu tanye:
amacam study, ok?? amacam exam, ok?? anak ayah mesti boleh punya.
ayah selalu jadi driver hantar ayong ke mana2.
pergi sekolah ayah hantar.
pergi shopping malls ayah hantar.
keluar ngan member2 pun ayah hantar jugak.
sebab ayah kata lama sangat nak tunggu kalau naik bus. bus stop pun jauh. lebih2 lagi cuaca panas pulak.
balik Ipsah after cuti, ayah hantar jugak. jauh tue Melaka-Kedah.
berapa banyak duit ayah habis kat petrol ngan tol. huhu.. thanks ayah.
ayah jugak yang semangat nak ayong masuk maktab jadi cikgu.
ayah hantar ayong pergi interview. siap tunggu ayong sampai habis interview.
kasih seorang ayah. huhu..
ayah tetap belikan ayong kasut Nike. even kasut tue mahal giler kat Malaysia. sebab ayong tarik muka masam bila ayah suggest brand lain.
kasih seorang ayah. sanggup berkorban harta demi anak-anak.
ayah selalu call ayong tanya khabar berada di tempat orang. sebab ayong sendiri malas nak call rumah. tapi ayah still call. x pernah jemu.
kasih seorang ayah.
ayah bagi ayong pocket money. even ayah ade financial problem.
kasih seorang ayah. huhu..

ayah,
i'm sorry if i have hurt you for countless time.
sorry kalau ayong terkasar bahasa.
sorry kalau ayong degil sesangat.
sorry kalau ayong pernah buat ayah kecewa.
sorry kalau ayong bukan anak yang baik.
sorry kalau ayong terlalu meminta-minta dengan ayah.
but you know what ayah,

ayong sayang sangat2 kat Ayah.
i will try my very best to make you happy and proud of me.
i will definitely study very hard for the sake of you dad.
i will always love you dad.

thanks Allah, for giving me such a wonderful dad. i'm glad i still have parents.

Love,
Ayong.

The school observation.

Hi there.

well, today is the most memorable day of my life. i got to experience and observed the teaching and learning process in a school in NZ. me and several fellas were assigned to Karori Normal School. we were given two classes to be observed. we got to see and experience the teaching for both younger and older children. oh my goodness. the kids are so cute. and they talked a lot =)

i was quite surprised to see the learning environment in NZ school is far different from Malaysia.

few things in NZ school that i find quite fascinating:

1. Kids sit on the floor when the teacher is teaching.
2. Kids work independently without much teacher's assistance.
3. Teaching aids for example laptops are provided for each classroom. this is quite impressive for me. all laptops are from the Apple brand. whoa.
4. Teacher does not do much talking.
5. Kids love to raise their hands to give answers. very impressive.
6. A lot of pupils' work being displayed on the walls.
7. Games are carried out in the classroom. very fun. we even got to participate in the game.
8. Pupils use dictionary to check their spellings and to find words. they don't ask the teacher to spell the words for them. they find the words independently in the dictionary.

i think i started to like kids. i have to admit that i never liked kids before. but seeing them in school today makes me ponder of how wonderful and interesting the kids are. Kids are FUN.

Kid: where are you from?

Malaysia.

Kid: Is Malaysia near Russia?

LOL. haha.

a rewarding day.

alhamdulillah.

yes! yes! freedom babeh! freedom. i'm totally free from books, notes, tests and exam!

exam was finally over this morning. it feels so great. the best feeling ever. after exam, went straight to university. ade makan2 skit sambil dengar Jonathan briefing ape ntah. well, x dengar sangat pun. sebab tengah sebok makan coklat. hahaha. after briefing, went straight home. slept for few hours. i was tired like hell due to last minute revision last night. after Maghrib, me and several fellas headed to town to reward ourselves after enduring such a long and stressful study week and of course the exam this morning. dinnered at Cinta. drank Bubble tea at Momo. then, went on to watch movie at Reading cinema. Titled Nightmare on Elm Street. well, this movie was okay. still one of the cliche horror/thriller English movies. hurm. i started to shiver upon hearing the Fred Kuger's name. LOL. what a psycho flick! haha.. overall, i was satisfied with the movie. nice one! movie started at 9.15 pm and ended at around 11 pm. we took a bus instead of walking. because we were afraid of the drunk people on the streets. it was very late at that time. to wrap up, today is a satisfying day i guess. it feels good to hang out with wonderful people. mucho gracias to housemates, Zaty, Nadiah, Arin, Azu and Wanie. you guys truly made my day!

ok then. that's all for today. Nite people =)

p/s: i'm currently hooked to waka waka eh song. it's the official Fifa World Cup song performed by Shakira. Hoooyeaah! Fifa mode is on starting from today. heeeee...

I Heart Fifa World Cup! what bout you guys? ok pictures!

i believe i can.

can't wait for the exam to end. seriously. wish me luck guys. Ganbatte!

x sabar nak melompat gaya nie abis exam esok. exam cepatlah habis...x larat dah nie..tepu. bengong dah nie.

p/s: credits to Fara Haris' I-phone. nice one.

aku dan mereka.

this time. entry in Malay.

hurm. tatau lagu mana nak start post nie. actually, there's so much inside me that i need to pour out. benda nie dah lame simpan dalam hati. nak cerita kat someone. malu. so, saye cerita kat sini lah ye? dari dulu till now. saye ade satu characteristic. saye nie tersangatlah sensitive x bertempat. huhu..

orang kate sensitive nie positive. so, takyah nak emo2..tapi regularly. saye rase characteristic nie dah macam freaking annoying to me. becoz semua bende nak terasa hati. huu. so, cam agak annoying to me lah honestly. saye selalu pikir, lah relax ar tina. tue pun ko nak kecik ati ker? ko memang lifeless lah tina..ish ish.

tapi kan? kenape saye sensitive sangat? ada sebab sebenarnyer. sebab people keep hurting me and treat me like i'm nobody. totally invisible. like a stone. cam batu. tau tak batu? batu. cam org bodoh. cam saya nie x wujud. cam saye nie invisible. cam saye nie hina. cam saye nie tunggul kayu. cam saye nie x hot. x famous. cam saye nie bukan orang. huhu..paham kan perasaan saye? sedih sangat bila people buat cam tue kat saye. x kira lah sape2 pun.

x paham kadang2 bende kecik pun bole wat hati saye terguris. huhu.. x paham betul dengan diriku ini. mengada-ngada kot? tapi kan kalo dah selalu sangat bende nie terjadi..sape pun kecik hati kot?

contohnya..ok lah saye bagi 1 situasi.

kalo someone nie tengah bercakap. tapi dier x cube langsung nak pandang saye. padahal. saye tengah dengar dan pandang dier tengah bercakap. so, saye pun kecik hati lah. ibarat saye nie tunggul. batu. tak dihiraukan.

situasi 2.

kalo someone nie datang approach someone next to me. then, dier offer or invite or ajak something kat someone next to me. tapi x ajak saye. padahal saye kat sebelah nie. hina sangat ker saye? batu sangat ker saye? sampai someone tue x nampak saye kat sebelah. so, saye pun terasa hati. kecik ati sesangat. bukan nyer ape. manners tue xde langsung. cube considerate and respect org kat sebelah tue. kalo benci sesangat pun. at least. ask me anything. tanye khabar ke?. ajak ker? offer ker? walaupun tak ikhlas mane pun. i will appreciate it if you do that to me. i will definitely be happy if you ask. even x ikhlas mane pun. nak tau sebab nyer? sebab saye rase diri nie dihargai. saye rase happy. at least someone notice me. someone care asking me. saye rase diri nie x disisihkan. tue je sebenarnya. saye bukan nak attention sangat pun. saye just nak diri nie dihargai. direspect.

i really hate the feeling of being isolated. tapi saye xleh wat ape pun. bende nie keep on terjadi kat saye everyday. cam kene sumpahan. cam kene voodoo pun ade gak. ntah2 saye nie memang malang. kerana manusia dan kawan. keep hurting me.. why oh why?

ape yang paling saye sedih. bila saye nie keep on being nice to people, to friends. i try so hard to be a good friend. a good person. try so hard to play my part as a human being and friend. try so hard that only Allah knows to please friends and people outta there. tapi kan mereka x nampak semua tue. mereka x perasan semua tue. in the end, mereka tetap buat bende2 yang mengguris hati saye yang kecik dan fragile nie. huu. teramat sedih. dan kesal. saye nak sangat mereka tue act like the way i hope for. tapi kan x semua bende yang kita harapkan akan betul2 terjadi dan termakbul. kita hanya mampu berdoa. Allah will do the rest.

Ya Allah. hatiku sangat rapuh. Mudahkan lah segala urusan hidupku. Jauhkan lah aku dari kedukaan. Kuatkan aku untuk berhadapan dengan manusia di sekelilingiku. Amin.

Ya Allah. sampai bila air mata nie akan terus menitis?

tetiba je rase rindu kat nenek. nenek. ayong rindukan nenek. tatau nape. hati nie sebak je sejak akhir2 nie. asyik nak terasa hati je. huu. sob sob.

sekian,
Lemah, hina, bodoh, batu, invisible, itulah aku.

p/s: Malay ker? sorry lah ye. saye terguna bahasa rojak. tapi xpe kan. janji comprehensible.
