    long time since i wrote here...
    times flies, too soon! can't believe i have been teaching for almost 5 months now.
    for the time being, i have not developed any feeling for this job...
    maybe it was because of the attitudes problems of the students?

    very frustrating when you put your whole effort in preparing the lessons
    but none of them care when you teach. at least one is enough to keep me motivated.
    pity the parents, who have to paid so much hoping their children get the best education
    but it's their children that don't know how to appreciate it!

    nah, enough of the rubbish talk and angst!
    how i wish that the holiday is here already. really need one at the moment.
    weekend is not enough for a fruitful rest, or is it because our mind is programed
    to set that weekend is just... weekend? ha ha.....

    the good news is, i managed to squeezed in a weekend escapade recently.
    yeayyyy to me!!! double joy coz it's with someone dearest :)
    like the says, it's the company that matter rite.

    aah, i better stop here and flaunt my KODAK moments.
    Cheersss :D

    another hot Saturday afternoon doing nothing at home. at first, i wanted to vent out my disappointment on the students and teachers day but opt to do that entry another time. Hot day and that does not make a good match after all.

    as promised, hereby i shared some of the photos captured using a toy camera --Digital Harinezumi 2+++, borrowed :p


    i watch and i peep, through the masked face~



    our own version of Stonehedge perhaps, at Taman Sahabat?
    Let play dress up of witch and wizard, and held a gathering here :p



    The inside roof of a hut, amazing colours and simply beautiful.



    My favourite photo. The bell at the edge of the roof, clear blue sky and the tall green plants.
    And looking at this scenery while listening to the sound of bell's ringing softly
    caused by afternoon breeze --- breath taking!




    The vivid mode of the camera. Nicely captured the scene.




    Last but not least, the two person who are mad enough to stroll in the garden, under the super hot afternoon's Sun! Let's do it more, my dear :)

    when you have more

    what do you think will happened to you, if you have more than what you have now?
    more money, more power, more privileges, more knowledge and such..... will you be a better person from what you are now or will you become worst actually?


    this question came across my mind during the school mid year examination. so not an inspirational place to get a thought like this, no? the reason behind this were of course my fellow students who sat for their exam papers. like the norm, teachers have to invigilate the exam plus the students here are well-known for their cheating habits in exam. So, yeah you get it.. no easy jobs for us. Have to walk around all the time and check on them. The smartest in the class is so generous that they will purposely let their classmates peep at their answer! That is not smart but dumb! When i was back in school, i always cover my answer sheets with question paper or my hand.


    as you already know, yours truly is teaching in a so called private school with national curriculum. No fancy international syllabus you all! but the different is english is fully use in science and math, plus some other different approach. They claimed it to be holistic education. What ever lah kan.


    just to share the experiences during my time to invigilate the exam. i was so surprise to see that most of them are very weak in national language and even english, mind you! *sigh* And this, happened to a bunch of privileges kids. Who have everything they want and they need under their nose. Private school, home tuition, tuition centre, iPhone, internet.... name it. I can understand if they have problems with national language, but english?


    now.. to say that we get more when have more money... i think it is not so true it this scenario. i compare my siblings with these rich kids (in term of studies of course), we stayed in a suburban area -- in a kampung to be exact. We came from a middle-class household, with the tele and astro as sole entertainment. Internet connection is via broadband and during the weekend only. We went to SRJK(c) in our primary school years, and SMK for our secondary years. Basically, we are trained in three different languages in school. And mind you, none of these language is spoken at home.


    but gladly, we never face the major language problem. somehow we manage to cope with it by practicing the languages we learn while communicating with each others. outsiders always find it amusing when they heard we talks with each others, switching from one language to the other. Granny was so annoyed sometimes that she snap at us saying that this is not a chinese or malay house. ahh, old people...


    back to the school kids.. Can you accept the fact that they don't know what is the meaning of characteristic, content (few that i remember), semangat kejiranan, budi bahasa, nilai-nilai murni, agensi kerajaan and lots more. *phewwwww* i'll be knocking my own head if i were their subject teachers for BM, Sejarah and Moral.


    and all these while, i thought that if they have more than anyone out there have, they will be in better term. proven i was wrong! they may be in a better situation, but that doesn't mean they can be any better. there i said my personal opinion.

    have a good saturday and sunday.

    p/s: Happy Teachers Day to all teachers out there especially to my mum, sister, uncle and aunties. Not forgetting my whole lots of friends in this profession, and also to my teachers that taught me to become what i am today. Muchos gracias, profesior!

    the craze of lomography

    raise your hand if you know what is lomo @ lomography?

    basically, it is love for analog camera and films. yes, films. Still remember those good old days, back in our childhood year when we only have films camera? That is the kind of camera lomo lovers use to capture photos.

    i came across the lomo things accidentally through the net. And wallaa... now i don't think i need to save for DSLR anymore. heeee, no offend to DSLR lovers outside there. There are 10 golden rules of lomography, just check them out here :)

    as for me, what i like about lomo camera is the surprise that awaits for you when do not have the preview of photos you've captured. it takes time too to finish a roll of films, then need to send for developed. now, it is not easy to find a shop that provide this service anymore y'all. From what i knew, there are few shops in Kuching that have this services -- a shop near Swee Kang, Apollo Lab (main bazaar) and in Wisma Saberkas.

    enough of introduction, i know there are a lots of other sites talking details on lomography. I got a Holga 135BC for my birthday present back in Feb. Thanks my dear for the super amusing Holga *love love love*

    Here's the picture of my newest toy!


     the Holga 135BC - uses 35mm film & gave Black Corner effect to pic


    And the first attempt on the film. Still waiting for my 2nd and 3rd films to be developed. Yeay!


    i love the fact that we can do multiple exposure on the film, like photo above :)



    the feel old effect of the camera is so uuuhh nice...




    the view of KL

    Analog is nice but there are few digital lomo that are...Damn nice too. I'll share the photos from Digital Harinezumi and X-lomo next time. For now, taaa... enjoy our weekends peeps.



    2 months

    sorry for the two months hiatus, peeps!

    i was having some kind of major adjustment to life and surrounding for those times. Moving from a place that i can called my second home already. Gosh, can't believe i've been there for 7 years! Now that i have to move from other place, a lotsss of things that need to be done. *sigh*

    it was a tiring 2 months also, packing and cleaning up. And still not yet finish, i still need to make sure the rented house is clean in order to give back the keys to owner. What a good tenant i am, kan ;) And the new rented house here, was a total mess i tell u! My boxes n stuff are everywhere, an eyesore to look at especially when they took a large space at the living room. Hope my housemate can tahan the sight of it.

    in this 2 months time also, i am trying my very best to be .. ehem.. a teacher. Gosh, it was really a challenge to teach some spoil rich kids. Not to mention rude, never listen when u teach, go out from the class anytime they want. Adoiii adoii, doing my very best to be calm most of the time. I dont want to get myself high blood pressure alrite.

    but for sure, i know i enjoy teach those who were eager to learn but... seriously, majority of them do not respect knowledge. not sure how long i can stand all these, especially the bad rumours spreading around about the managements. for the time being, i dont want to give a damn, unless it involve my paycheck of course.

    hmm... when everything is set at its pace, i'll be back.. ranting on my life :P

    this is for Dad

    Monday, February 21, 2011

    this story was to be post a week ago but only tonight that i have the time to write everything down. why it took me so long is because the emotion, feeling and tears involved. i may look like little miss sunshine, living a happy go lucky life but the truth is... i am a super sensitive person.

    two Fridays ago, i was having dinner with my housemates in a chinese food court. at one time, i saw an uncle maybe the same age as my Dad. He caught my eyes because of his skin tone and face feature look likes Dad too. This man with crutch was standing in the middle of the food court, and for quite a long time.

    My first impression was like 'oh, another beggar or disable fellow who want to ask for some money'. I waited for him to move, but like 2-3 minutes he stand still. He seem like struggling to decide whether to ask money from the patrons or not. He held his head high, but yet i can see his unwillingness to do this begging thing. And yes, i can't help but to watch what he's gonna do.

    Then, he move slowly to a table next to ask. The people at the table refused to give him money, then next he walked slowly to our table. This time, i just can't look at him straight. You know, i always have this habit with me... i cannot bear to see them but yet refused to give money. I believe that by doing so, is not helping them. This man show a laminated paper, i can't see clearly what was it but i saw a drawing of a crutch and prosthetic leg. But i couldn't care more...

    And he moved to another table behind us, repeating the same act...showing the laminated paper. As i was eating my dinner, i peeked at him from the corner of my eyes. Oh my, i just realized that one of his leg was amputated. No wonder he was on a crutch! The next thing i saw is the part that i can't describe in words. As the people at that table also refused to hand him money, this man... he raise his head, close his eyes and take a deep breath. You know, the things that you do when you are having difficult time doing your works? You stop to ponder, to gain strength and motivate yourself even though you don't like what you are doing. That was exactly the same things he did.

    That moment, i have tears in my eyes. No one knows, but deep down i was so sad. Remember i mentioned that this man maybe same age as Dad and have the same skin tone & features? The whole things i saw make me miss my Dad :(

    My Dad is a man of few words. He talk to his children when he asked us to do things, to run errands for him or to scold us. Sometimes when there was only Dad and me in the car, i'll chat a little but the conversation will slowly turn awkward and ended just like that. I am not a Daddy's girl, and i envy those who are. My Dad never show how proud he is with us, but i know he is. Just listened to the way he spoke about us to other people.

    My Dad is not a perfect Dad, in fact he is far from that. But he never hit us, no violence in nurturing his children. He may not have all the money in the world to buy us nice, good things to pamper us. But Dad will always be there for us.

    There was time when i questioned why i have such a Dad. Why don't i have Dad who i wish him to be? I prayed and wished for him to change, to be a better man for his family. Dad did changed slowly, and do his part as a good father to my 3 younger siblings.

    Dad, i may not be the perfect daughter that you want me to be but i will try. I am sorry that sometime i seem to do not care about you. But the truth is, i care too much that it hurt. I thanks God for you, for Mum, for all my other siblings.

    I love this family. I love you Dad!


    I told this story few times to different people. They may not understand why it makes me so emotional that i cried in the middle of the story. I cried because i seldom be thankful for my Dad. Seeing this man who look a little bit like Dad, opened my eyes. I can't imagine life without my Dad. To imagine just a glimpse of that kind of life, brings ocean to my eyes. For the records, i was crying for the 5th times while typing this.

    I have learned to: appreciate, thankful and count my blessings.
