Priceless present for a teacher

This morning, i started my day by reading the so-called autograph signed by my 70 students from 4 classes. Going through what they penned actually brought me to tears as i really value their words. being with them in tutorials was the best moments i had and i enjoyed every minute of the hours we spent together.

Whenever i entered the class, i was somehow transformed into a new world, a very stimulating experience because i enjoyed observing their attitudes; sometimes OK and sometimes, KO but i always told myself not to be offended or frustrated or disappointed if they failed to give me 100% focus for i understand that feeling tired, inattentive, dreamy and sleepy is  normal. who would be forever excited in learning if you have to go through such hectic days from 8 to 5 everyday.  Nevertheless, my students were too polite not to fall  asleep in my class,even though given the chance, they would hop onto their bed and snore for 4 months. I would tell  my students to sleep if they wanted  but do that with their eyes OPEN. Well, that always did  the trick and they would somehow pry open their eyes and  try to stay awake.

Back to the autograph......well allow me to extract some of their expressions that moved me to tears:

Madam/ Teacher , you are not only my teacher, but also my mother ( hehe they dont know me as their mother yet)...i like being in your class, it was fun being in your class.....i enjoyed ur chocolate cakes( hehe they always appreciate my tak berapa jadi cake)...frankly.knowing you has certainly changed my attitude......you teach me love, friendship, life ......hope you will be happy always, even after your retirement( well i still have about 10 years to go)...i learn a lot from you....there are a lot i want to write but i dont know how.......i will always remember you ( ye le tu )you are the best teacher......i had fun in your class......i follow your blog ( ye ke?).....you changed my life...thank  you for telling me to be who i am.......etc etc etc......well i was in cloud nine.......

Frankly, i was ( and still am) touched by their words, which i believe came from their sincere heart. As much as they liked being in my class, i also found happiness and satisfaction teaching them..actually more of regaling them with my never ending stories about my life, my children, my hobby etc...i just hope i did not bore them much because i believe sharing is caring. They were ( and still am) my extended children.....


My prayers are always for them. with them , hoping that every single one of them would succeed and become useful, soleh and solehah people.  May Allah grant all their wishes and hopes and May Allah bless all my deeds towards them, insyaallah

Goodbye and Good Luck

 2011/2012 session for KMK is almost over. classes done and now the students are waiting for their big exam starting on 17th April until 26th ....they hoorey....holiday. Look at S1T2A, flashing their contagious smile.

 The only 3 handsome guys..Hilman, Amirul and Hiap, always being bullied by the super active girls...All the best to all of you. i had so much fun being with you.

 This is S2K2T7A/ 7B.....this part of the class is my anak angkat, given to me when Mdm Norain went for maternity leave and they are angels......very responsive.

 Another shot of them showing their busy time signing the autograph for all classmates....Everyone was so absorbed with their writing as i told them to show their ability to express themselves in English.

 The lovely girls whose chatter never makes the class quiet...

Amboi, these boys can really act, especially the one thinking that he is Aaron Aziz junior....guess which one is.
All in all, i am really happy blessed with these students whose vigor and never ending  participation makes my day.  see i am still writing in simple present tense as my heart is still with them...they are all my angelic children and i am certainly proud to be their mom.......Good luck all and take care of yourself....strike in the exam and prove to me your ability........Goodbye too.

wait....there is another class.......S3T3A / 3B....still waiting for their photos which they snapped nonstop in class today......

MUET MANIA

Muet mania is back and my students are practically sleeping and eating in English, sharpening their tongue, sort of, trying to argue, or win the argument in presenting their points. it is indeed a healthy practice, the only nerve-wrecking, tensed moment for them as before, they just ignored our incessant pleads, demanding them to converse in English. Now they know  the high low of the sky ......

My own two children are not spared from this, Bob, returning to UIA today, just to sit for this test, tomorrow, the 18th  and Atih, here in KMK,  biting her nails, waiting nervously for her turn on 19th .  Bob managed to try once with my students last Thursday and i honestly think he can do it, provided he follows my techniques.....just dont try to puji-puji examiners dah le...stick to the rules Bob. As for Atih, i really leave her to her Sir to guide her.... she does not want to try out in front of me coz she said she is already good How i wish i could believe that.

Insyaallah, all my students will fare well ( not farewell) in all their papers, be it PSPM or MUET.  I have done my best to prepare them for this battle of wits, now they are at the mercy of the examiners. God's willing, they will succeed, insyaallah.

Baked With Love

 Semester 1 is almost over and the students are now busy practising their speaking for muet test...i have given them the best and i know they will try their level best. while doing this, i baked 6 chocolate cakes for my 4 classes 1 for mentee and 1 for friends. shown here is my S2T2A.....

 Looks tempting right...well for ummi, this is delicious enough. dont compare with all the taikos as they have been baking for years. only only started this week after stopping doing this for about 20 years.

 My S1T1A....came to claim their share...luckily they performed well in their speaking.no doubt they are good.

 Sharing the empty plate?...Jun Kai the naughty, happy go luckily plump guy from Penang. ada ke patut dia pangge umi Kak Yan...nak kena budak ni.

 The last 2 , with different topping.....hmmm.......

 This was taken with S1T1B, another interesting class...i learnt a lot about them ....

 Enjoy yourself......sharing is caring

The final group S2T6B , the girls came first, waiting for the ever late boys to join. i like them all coz every single one is soooooo special. My prayers are forever with them, hoping they will become successful in whatever they do......
