First of my final phase.

As-salam =)

Alhamdulillah, my day went perfectly smoothly fine. Except for the part where my friend and I also got hit today by a motorcyclist, while driving. You see, the kid's driving like a drunk guy that he suddenly turn right while I was speeding my car. He hit me, not hard, I can tell. So, I just drive my car just until I reached school. Then, I noticed some new scratches on side of the front bumper. Arrgghh! My car's already in bad shape. Lucky you drunk cyclist! 

Overall, my day went just fine. There's one thing that thrilled me like crazy! I have my own desk! Aaauuu! So happy about it that I already imagine what am I going to do with it. I was thought about having some bottles filled with candies, asam jeruk and instant 3 in 1 coffee, since I get tired too easily. Haha. Dream much! 

As for the day, I haven't got my schedule just yet. Maybe tomorrow. So, I just go filling up all the borang-borang, prepare another tajuk for my action research (A.R) since it's hard to conduct a gymnastics' lessons there. I don't know. From the conversation I had with one of the P.E's teachers, school don't have enough accommodation for gymnastics. No mattresses, no nothing. And I was like, are you kidding me? But if I insisted to go along with my gymnastics' lesson, I might have to figure out about how to overcome this. Maybe I'll have this consulted with the lecturers, especially about the gymnastics' part. Because, you know, safeties are the priority. 

Overall, from what I've seen, I have this very supportive environment. Nice and comfortable! The teachers are the best, Insha Allah! They're nice, friendly and helpful. The GB's also very soft spoken. The students are very well-behaved. Not rude. They still have respects for teachers, and that's important. 

I'll keep update about this, since this is the only way I found to distress me (without costing me any $$)! Since it's hard to find someone to really to talk to, this is the best medium just yet. Oh, and again, really excited about my desk! Maybe I'll have an update only to share about the personal desk. HAHA. Nerd much!

Until then, just keep on smiling =) And have faith. Insha Allah.

First impression.

As-salam =)

It's not like 'the first impression' is everything, but first impression may help us in gaining others respect. Believe me, when I first someone, I'll first look at how he/she dresses. No need to spend a fortune on a piece of cloth. The key is to be neat, and finish it off with 'confident'. And confident can be gain by straighten up your posture, walk straight, have an eye contact with people and don't even forget to smile. Easy right? Oh, and make-up skills are not included, okay?

Teaching, is a profession with personalities. Teachers gain respect by how he/she's doing the works, how he/she taking care of oneself and by how he/she mix around. My tips are not based on action research, or something. Just using my own logical thinking, based on my life's experiences. 

I had repaired most of my mistakes from time to time. For example, I don't mix just enough with the teachers on my first phase of practicum. So, I cover it up by joining more on my second phase of practicum. That's how I learn. We get things right inch by inch. We won't succeed on the first try, okay? There're still something that need to be top-up. Do things slow, just don't loose the tempo, or might have to struggle more later. Honest. 

Don't be too excited about being the best among the rest. Do something with Lillahi Taala. Insha Allah. He will always be there for us. He knew us better than we knew our self. Like, pray to Him more frequently. Whenever we have a free time, don't forget to do solat Dhuha. No need to put on just 'too much make-up' just to impress people. People will not judge you on how well you blend your make-up. In the end, it's always performance that people want to see and to judge you with.

So, let's use this one last day like there's no tomorrow. Make sure everything in order and packed before you go to sleep tonight. Remember, first impression is what things are about! You'll be motivated later. Oh, and don't forget to call up parents for their blessing and prays. Also important, y'all! 

Insha Allah. This is our final phase, so let's do our best! Reach for the extended. 

Minggu lapang terakhir - 19.01.2013

As-salam =)

Minggu ni cuma berhujung minggu di maktab sahaja. Tak ada ke mana-mana. Hasratnya nak uruskan segala persiapan untuk praktikum. Oh, kali ni tak ada 'hot hot chicken shits', memang betul-betul fokus ke urusan kemas bilik, balut fail dan buku RPH dan urusan-ursan peribadi yang lain. Adoi, tak mula lagi pun dah  boleh rasa bahang praktikum final. Tak apa, keep on smiling! Stay positive, most of times. 

Dari mula masuk semester, sampai ke hari ini, memang jarang dapat bergomol dengan bantal-bantal dan tilam empuk ditindih dua. Dari hari pertama hingga ke hari ini memang sangat sibuk, hinggakan tak ada masa untuk diri sendiri. Ada pun hujung minggu. Kesian! Nak dating pun dah tak berapa nak sempat. Sedih. Bukan setakat dating, nak jejak kaki ke library pun sampai terpaksa 'larikan diri kejap' dari kelas petang dan segala macam program yang last minutes. Ades! Sadis betul.

19.01.2013 -  Hubby dah pun berangkat ke Nibong Tebal. Dengan rasminya, bermulalah episod matang. Semuanya kena berharap dekat diri sendiri, joli elaun sendiri, makan sendiri. Adoi, betul ni episod yang sedih! Mana ada pasangan yang bercinta kat maktab ni yang berjauhan? Semuanya dapat dekat-dekat. Aku tak kisah bab dating, sebab episod dating memang kena beku kejap untuk semester ni sebab sibuk dengan A.R (Action Research). Apa yang aku risaukan ialah dengan siapa aku nak bersembang, mengadu dan bergosip nanti? ..... Fasa praktikum ialah fasa yang stress dan banyak kerja, serius! Tambah-tambah pula kalau dapat surrounding yang kurang supportive. Walau betapa positifnya kita, akan ada masanya kita akan rasa down and give-up, betul kan? Itu yang paling aku risaukan sekarang. Hmmm... nak bercerita dengan family? Mungkin mereka akan kurang faham sebab mereka tak sama-sama berada di tempat aku sebagai pelajar IPG. Nak cerita lebih-lebih pun, macam menambah beban family. Oh, tidak! Cerita pada kawan? Bukan semua akan setuju dengan kita. Ramai yang lebih gemar beri komen dari mendengar.

Tapi, tak apa. Asalkan kita ingat Allah S.W.T, Allah akan sentiasa ada untuk kita, tak kisah masa susah dan masa senang. Hubby ada pesan juga, bila dah masuk fasa praktikum nanti, banyakkan solat Dhuha. Kalau boleh, kurangkan tepek make-up, eye-liner, etc. Hubby cakap, kalau dulu tak sempat nak jejak kaki di surau, masa praktikum ni peluang kita. Insha-Allah. Pesanan hubby lagi, tak perlu kejar dan taksub dengan tittle GURU CEMERLANG! Jangan lakukan sesuatu hanya kerana hendakkan pujian, tapi laksanakannya dengan lillahitaala (kerana Allah S.W.T). 

Insha Allah =)
