*sigh*

today is just not my day...(~,~)

my chest feels heavy... and I'm exhausted, mentally + emotionally tired.

its all because of the students (one student in particular) attitude.....
the one who keeps on blaming others for their own flaws.....
the one who knows his weaknesses but did nothing to change as if the weaknesses can eventually disappear on its own...
i just couldn't take it anymore so i asked him to come and see me personally...
he came but with a 'bodyguard'.....
i chased the 'bodyguard' away as i said i need to talk to him in private...so the 'bodyguard' went off...

AND
i started the conversation with a light topic....
firstly, i started talking + asking him about his family + studies + friends until i eventually came to the main topic of the day = his problems in english class....MY english class....
at first he responded, he admitted he's weak in the language...
so i asked, what would u do about it since u know you are weak???
he said, 'nothing!!..mcm tu saja lah...
i asked what do you mean by that???
he said, 'dah mmg lemah...mcm tu saja lah...dah lemah, nak buat apa lg???
i asked him to come and see me every afternoon after class for extra + private tuition, but he refused by saying that NOTHING can be done... he's weak...(AGAIN with that answer)
with that, he seriously has pushed the right button...
(*O*)
so, i started to talk about his family, about his responsibility of being the eldest son of a "petani" family...about him being the role model for his siblings....
he stopped looking at me...
and started to cry.....sobbing like h*** (but, come to think of it now (*O*) it looks like crocodile tears to me...)
so, i gave him some quiet time.
after a while, i started asking him again, but he refused to say anything...

i left him at my place while i was attending my other students who came for consultation....

he was at my place for more than one hour...but, that doesnt change anything....
his attitude before leaving my place was still disappointing...
he was STILL refusing my help....

he refused my suggestion on the extra class....he even refused my other suggestions to improve his english.... he practically refused anything...EVERYTHING!!!
what more can i say???what more can i do???

WHAT ELSE CAN A TEACHER DO???

some people did say: 

You can be a doctor and save lives...

You can a a lawyer and defend lives...

You can be a soldier and protect lives...

or

You can just simply be yourself...

A teacher who touches lives. 

p/s: i just dont see any point in "touching people's lives" if they still refuse to do anything with their OWN lives. 

*sigh*

 

mystery...

Life's a mystery...some can see in the dark, 

some get lost in the bright light, 

some are proud to announce what they dont have, 

some deny what they have, 

some hide the obvious, 

and others display the non-existent...

thats how colourful life is...

so, what is your mystery of life???

 

i can....can you???

i got this nice email long-long time ago....
actually i've already forgotten that i have this email in my inbox until i'm desperate in looking for some extra materials for a course...today's course where i'm supposed to inform the English Unit about the latest changes in MUET writing.
so, while cracking my head thinking about what to present, i went to browse through my old+ancient emails when i suddenly came across this nice article....so, i decided to share this with my colleague... (^o^)

another two of english unit members are leaving KML for a better life + better future + better place + better experience...
hope they'll never forget those they leave behind...(me included)...

i just got to know these nice people, and already its time to say goodbye...
life is too short to be ignored...
things happen so fast nowadays that sometimes we dont even get the chance to blink our eyes to see the changes...

and it is just scary to even think about it...

mathematics challenge

i got something nice this afternoon that i want to share with all of you...(courtesy of my ex-students)

If you are an Engineer, you should be able to solve it within 3 minutes or less (30 seconds);
If you are an Architects, perhaps you will need 3 hours;
If you are a Doctor, perhaps you will need 6 hours;
If you are an Accountant, maybe 3 months;
If you are a Lawyer, maybe you can never find the answer....

nasib baik lar i'm not a lawyer (^o*) dats why i ONLY need less than 10minutes to solve this...

so, kengkawan....
SILA LA TRY yer KALO BERANI (^o^)...hohoho

old life???

"Some people can get Old without getting Old"...thats the fact of life... and that's the thing that i'm afraid most...

i refuse(i know its bad to say this) to grow old...
i refuse to have flaby tummy...
i refuse to have double chin...
i refuse to have brittle bones...
i refuse to have absent mind....
BUT i know i can never change the fact that as a normal human being, aging process is a normal thing...therefore, i will cherish my youth till i can no longer lift my fingers....

ONE MORE THING...

i'm getting fussier + more stubborn  as the years go by....
i wonder why???is it because of the age factor???

cheeewah....tuh trick question jer tuh...(^O^) hohoho

i'm actually afraid...nope, not afraid...i am TERRIFIED of being old...

i dont wanna grow old being a grumpy kinda lady...
in fact, i hate old grumpy lady....so why am i behaving in such way (*O*) walaupon x bape obvious, tp i'm nurturing myself into that kinda attitude
i just hate myself for it...(*O*)

one article i have recently read said: 

"...we can see that anger management is necessary is our stressful lives. If we do not learn to manage our anger, we will harm ourselves physically. It has been reported that people who are constantly angry are twice as likely to have a heart attack than those who have learnt to manage their anger. So, the next time you get angry and upset, try out one of the ways that have been suggested..."

so, i'm going to train myself to be a BETTER person...much much better than i AM now...

Insyaallah....wish me luck (^O^)
