Aku Yang Dulu

Listening to this capturing and meletop song by Tegar makes me wonder what is actually happening to me....

Aku yang dulu, bukanlah yang sekarang
Dulu ku kuat, sekarang dah berkurang

Hehe....it's true that i am not that active, always on-the-go type of person anymore....simple thing that i managed to complete in seconds now has dragged to days and sometimes weeks........take this week for example. Everyone at the college was busy updating their Hrmis, the SKT stuff and yet i was not that keen to join the crowd....i spent more time procrastinating, taking my sweet time completing the simple task. Until now my Penilaian Prestasi is yet to see some data updated.....it is not i don't want to do but, i just don't like doing it.....Being in this service for about 28 years, filling in this form has been a reluctant task for me....i dont like bragging, i hate listing all the things i have done, i find explaining my doing is not my cup of tea.....for me, what is done, is done....but hey nowadays everyone has to highlight what they do/did to be in the good book. Gone were the days when teaching was about how passionate you were dealing with yours charges ( students)....now it is about telling others i have done this, i did that, i am going to do that..........

Then, came the last few days keying in the students' marks. Suddenly the MIS program went kaput.....in the end we had to do this manually.......we had to enter marks for almost a hundred students and believe me, this is no joking matter. I experience non stop headache for 2 days...nausea of straining my eyes on laptop screen and typing and saving the data.......well maybe for some new brooms, this is kacang, but for me, this is peanuts in hard shell...UPS, SPBK following......i want to resign..........

and PSPM 1 is around the scary corner. and there are so many things to be done...the techniques of answering questions, the skills tested in MUET, the essays to be marked, speaking practice to be perfected if possible, listening practice to be conducted and the list goes on.....

How i wish i could retire tomorrow so that i can shift my attention to my family, my hobby and my life.

Gila Pantun

Ntah macamana sekarang umi dah gila berpantun pulak. tak kisah la rhyme ke dak umi main belasah ja...rasa seronok pulak membudayakan puisi kemegahan kita orang Melayu....setiap bait ada maksudnya...ada lenggok lembutnya. tak la drastik kasaq macam bahasa orang la.....dah la depa potong perkataan jadi pendek, maksud dia pun kkdang kita tak berapa faham.

Cuba tengok yg ni:

Bunga melor bunga melati 
dipetik puan cantik berseri
Nak tidur berhati-hati
Takut mimpi jadi raja sehari.....................hehehe............

yang pembayang tu sedap tapi 2 bait yg bawah terus hancus.....


Dah lapaq pi la makan
Jangan tercekik situlang ikan
Hai awat hang dok gelan sakan
Satg kena hantar pi Tg Rambutan

Ni pantun pure Kedahan......best tau bila boleh guna bahasa resmi Kedah ni........

Like father like son
Like mother like daughter 
You are like a shining sun
Filled with love and laughter.

Nak buat dlm Bahasa Inggeris pun boleh....tapi x best sikit la kan.macam keras saja.

Akhir sekali

Dalam semak ada duri
Ayam kuning buat sarang
Sudah lama saya mencari
Dari dulu hingga sekarang......

Kita juga boleh guna pembayang yg asli dan dipadankan dgn maksud yang terkini.....

So, jum kita berpantun......

Cuti Sempoi

Dah lama umi tak p mancing so Jumaat petang kami pi juga walaupun dah lewat. Janji kail dapat dicampak. yg pasti suasana maghrib di tepi tasik amat mengasyikkan. Tak payah pakai DSLR, namun snap ni tetap mengagumkan ( ayat puji sendiri)
Ayish dgn senyum kambing nye...dia yg first dapat ikan walaupun dia cuma main2 aje....caya lah ayish.
Umi camna? This time cuma sekor, i repeat one only...apalah sebabnya.mungkin hati tak tenang kot....tempat bukan main strategik lagi....konon kat pokok menerong ikan banyak.....
Pulun betoi depa ni tangkap anak udang utk jadi umpan. umi pakai roti gardenia patutla x dapat ikan. Yg juara kali ini ialah Alin yg berjaya mendapat berbelas2 ekor ikan tilapia, yg saiznya comel macam alin gak....sempat lagi jamu kucing kat situ. Bawa balik dan bagi mak pengasuh goreng......
Cim minah ni bukanya nak mancing tapi posing lebih...macam nak pi market pulak....
Dah habih pi mancing hari ini umi perosah pokok bunga pulak. dah lama tak amik kisah sampai rumput naik dah segalah ( ayat exaggerate) Ada nampak itu serai, cenehom (nama kampung)..baru nk naik, nnti boleh buat laksa.Yg dok nk menjalar di tiang ialah bunga kerak nasi.....tanam semula tu
ini hutan la sikit ye
Yang ini dah jadi rimba,so umi cabutlah sikit sebanyak supaya nampak la macam pokok bunga. Puding kat belakang tu baru tumbuh tunas...
conifer ni baru leh bernyawa dgn selesa selepas umi potong pokok bunga kertas yg rimbun galak daun tapi kurang berbunga tu....
Sudut sisi yg baru dicerahkan .....
Ni saja umi snap bagi kat Ustazah Nashitah tengok.dia memang suka pokok yg hujung sekali ni........
Ini lah rezeki berbakti pada tanah. pokok cabai yg tumbuh secara sukarela....lebatnya buah dia. esok nak petik bagi kkwan. Umi bukan makan cabai sangat...asyik nak emo saja.....  
So inilah kerja kami cuti 4 hari ni....sangat sempoi, murah dan sihat......
