hati ini

hati ini memang sensitif. bila umur kanak-kanak, tak faham apa tu perubahan. tak boleh rasa dengan hati. tapi bila dah meningkat dewasa, self-conflict makin banyak sampai tak tahu mana yang nak handle. tengok orang lain dipermudahkan jalan untuk berubah. lapang dada bila tengok. tapi diri sendiri? god, i keep on doing sin. perhaps it's the cause for where it's hard to move on. hm. have to think of that. sekarang dah tak macam dulu. sekarang semuanya dah melihat ke depan. beyond what's this life for. selalu kena ingatkan diri bila kadang-kadang lalai. masa dah memang suntuk. apa je yang tinggal untuk kita sebenarnya.

i'm sad when people say that i'm snobbish. but i'm even sadder when people say that i haven't change any since the last time they met me. because i know that i haven't change for good.

i always pray that i'll be getting new heart..

o Lord, please forgive me..

i just hit the relaxing button only at this moment; after catching up trains & preparing for lunch box for school tomorrow. the first day at ngaio school was awesome. teachers were friendly and the kids were fun to chat with. i was assigned to observe year 2 class, around 6 to 7 years old. their school hours start at 9 in the morning and ends at 3 in the afternoon, with morning tea and lunch breaks. as they bring their own food, me might as well prepare ours. *not a big deal.i used to pack my meals when i go out. so, here goes the lesson. i found myself amazed that how these kids cooperate in pair work and group work though they're only 6 years old. not to mention that they watch discovery channel a lot that one of the kids told me about how dinosaurs live and how gigantic they're. the class is full with their artworks and that's cool!

the medium sized whiteboard for the planning of the lesson for that day. at the right side of it was the flow of the lesson for today. two swirly lines are their breaks. no fixed time. at the bottom, left, there's rewards written for the kids who behave well. free game, can go play at the next class etc. they're learning about short 'a' and long 'a' at this time. ehem. Miss Alia and Miss Azean, teacher helpers of the week. ;D

most kids : good afternoon Miss Alia & Miss Azean (choral).

one kid :   ........................ & Miss Azin. (??)

kid A : It's Azean, not Azin (chats & murmurs)

I knew that would happen. expected that. -_-''''''

the hallway. the one that i used to watch in the movies. bags and shoes outside with their names labelled at each hanger. colourssss :))

mini library shelf at the corner of the classroom. now tell me how couldn't they know more about facts when there's readings like world records and star wars in the class? shame on me. i don't read both T__T. the 'we have been writing description' binded book shows that the kids have even more sense on food. one kid wrote the ingredient for his pizza was a snail? with cheese? all i could think of was siput babi then u grate the cheese on it. oh oh it's on the pizza dough. errr.....


such a tiring day. have to walk early in the morning. heishh. guess that it's been long time that i didn't wake up that early. you know the earliest class that i've got the last semester was at 11 in the morning. no wonder. lol.


now been thinking about the lesson plan for this thursday. can't bother more with the topic that we've to teach. social studies-celebration, culture in malaysia.

Hi

Thanks you for your email.  We are very excited to be having you in our class next week.  The kids were stoked to hear that you are in to ballet and theatre.  Some of them are already practising a performance for you:)  One of the girls in Room 1 has danced with the RNZB so she is particularly excited.

that's pretty an email from my associate teacher, telling me that the kids are eager to meet the student teachers next week. now that's the consequence when you stated that you like arts. some sort of ballet and live theater. -_-  i only managed to appreciate those kinds of live performances here in wellington since that it's something new to me. not really heard in first time but really attending it like only now.

student teachers are what they called us. like trainee teachers back in ipsah. the seniors have gone through this kind of experience last year, so we're expecting things to be like what they did. i've got school which is like 20 minutes on the train from the city. i'm quite keen to know about the school, the class and how the teaching is done. not to forget the nervousness that's never left behind. pheww. dealing with kids. first language-english. umm. just pray harder that things go well. Ngaio school kids, please be nice to Miss Nora.




All the best to TESOL Cohort 2 mates for your Teaching Experience.

Sedangkan apa yang saya belajar, apa yang Imam al-Ghazali tegaskan di dalam pengajarannya ialah: Membuat sesuatu yang tujuannya adalah untuk sekadar mengurangkan rasa berdosa sedangkan diri masih dibiarkan bergelumang dengan dosa, adalah DOSA YANG PALING BERDOSA! Allah.. selamatkan kami dari fitnah akhir zaman
