WHAT SHOULD I NAME THIS ENTRY AS?

ASSALAMUALAIKUM..

(THE YESTERDAY'S STORY)

What a hectic yet fun day I had. Around 7.30 am; while I was lying on my bed reading the Lit's notes I received last nite, my Intro to Lit's lecturer (Madam A) texted me saying sorry because she had to cancel our class at 10 am today as she didn't feel very well. I felt sorry for her and asked her to take a great care of herself and that I would inform others about the class cancellation. Right after she texted me again saying thank you, Josphine's (Jos) message came in. "effa,saya mau datang bilik awk.mau bincang assignment kenegaraan". Few minutes later, she appeared at my room door wearing her olahraga T-shirt and pink pants..We had a very serious discussion. Really serious until I couldn't take it anymore. haha...There was a moment where I fell asleep when I was writing the points mentioned by her and resulted in her screaming.."ish..tidur pulak kau!" (in her sarawak dialect).. It did awaken me..haha..sorry dear.. I slept quite late last night, so I guess u would definitely understand why all of sudden the alphabets written by me became slanted and out of nowhere..i came up with those weird words and it was even scribbled on the paper..lol.. I was extremely sleepy. Sudddenly..my stomach growled, oh ya! I almost forgot..I hadn't had my breakfast yet. So, I decided to have some instant noodles (the lazy bum bum really lazy to change her clothes, push the G button in the elevator and head to the cafe downstairs). Jos wanted some too... so I boiled some water while she was preparing our "killing spicy-yet-so delicious-till it burns our taste bud" so-called sauce... which was made by adding some salted soy sauce +lots and lots and lots of bird's eyes chillies+ lime.. Indulged on that hot and spicy Tom Yam instant noodle and added plenty of the "sauce" prepared just before that really flown us to those good old memories we had last semester.. We stayed in the same house last semester and that "sauce" really a must to us.. Jos went back home after done helping me cleaned up the dishes. Yeah..predictable! My stomach was in a great pain few minutes after that. Serve me right. Risking myself to have instant noodles as my brunch instead of other nutritious foods while my stomach was totally empty..I had to bear the consequences.. It lasted till the very moment I had to prepare myself to the EC class at 4 pm. Luckily it didn't turn out even worse than I could ever imagine.

English for Communication (EC) class..yeah..another embarassing moment I had. My lecturer intended to show to us the website she created for her students. I've already signed up for that and wrote something in its blogs section. I even have uploaded some photos on it. What I want to tell u is that, my photo was on the main page she showed to us It even had my name below it with the largest font I could imagine my name will be displayed with, EFFADILA.OMG! everybody laughed at me as they realized that the girl who came out with the so called diva posse on the LCD screen was me. HAHAHA...what was more embarrassing, most of the students in that class weren't my coursemates. As it is a university subject, the students came from diverse courses. haiya..so malu ma.. .

Went back to college after the class, prepared myself to attend the dinner with my Academic Advisor, Dr. Goh Hock Seng and his other advisees (whom I met for the very first time). I headed to Garden Deli, a restaurant near our campus with my classmate, Sheila who is one of the advisees. We had some conversations with those new friends we met while waiting for Dr. Goh presence. Few minutes later, he came... with the smart gentleman and casual looking of 40 ++ years old man, he smiled at us and welcomed us which really warmed us. He asked us to make an order from the menu list the restaurant had. I was joking with him saying that.. "can I order the most expensive food they have?".. He was laughing and said.. "whatever u want".. He and others continued laughing  while I was busy skimming the menu list. ( I was very hungry at that very moment..thank u!).. We had a very relaxing conversation. Even though it was my first time meeting the other advisees, I would say that I was delighted with their friendliness and the way Dr. Goh controlled the situation.He even handed out our result slips. One of the advisees (putri) received an ang pow from him as she scored 4 flat in the sem 1's final exam.. (jealousy is detected!).. haha..thanx a lot Dr. Goh for the delicious Roasted Chicken Rice and Mango Sorbet I had. Thanx to all my new friends for the great night!

p/s: No matter what circumstances I had to face, I will try my best to aim for the next ang pow! insyaALLAH.. :)

 

                                                                                             

my 2009

 ASSALAMUALAIKUM..

this is a so called  essay (one of the assignments)  submitted by me to my Communicative English class's web page..my lecturer, Miss Yoon has asked us to write our real experiences in 2009..so..here I go..do comment ya.so that I can improve myself...thank you..

My 2009

2009. How should I describe it? Being 19 should turn me to be more matured, I guess..but what was certain .. I remained as who I was before. A typical Malay girl who was still searching for her own identity. I would say that 2009 had left me with thousands of memories. Those memories I wouldn’t be able to purchase anywhere in this entire nation. It was the year where I devoted myself to the so called end of teenage year. It was the year where I finally done struggling, cracking my head over the studies in matriculation college..yeah..it was kinda funny..I was in physical science stream back in matric but ended up with doing my degree in TESL here in UPSI. Was I failed my matric? Was I scored badly until I didn't manage to get any seats in engineering courses as how my former classmates did? haha..these questions tingling me.. NO! those positive answers for that questions are totally wrong.. I applied for TESL as i love it.. I really keen on teaching. I guess those people who claim that they love to teach should be proud of saying so as I believe that the preferences on teaching field rather than any other fields are something innate. Not everybody willing to devote their life on teaching the children about life, about something that may change them forever. Not everybody willing to gamble on their time spending for these children. That's why I'm proud of myself and I'm certain..every UPSI's students should feel the same. Okay..done with that..back to the topic..( I guess i should put "focus on the topic and not to slip off of it" as one of my 2010 resolutions")..


My 2009??? hurm..I was happy with my 2009 as on that year, after finished a year matric studies, I worked temporarily (for the first time) as a substitute teacher at my former secondary school, Air Panas Girl School ; (APGS..it may also be called as the All Pretty Girls School..haha..joking!), Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. It was my luck to get that job. What was more interesting ..I was given a responsibility to temporarily substituting my former Math teacher's position. What? ya..that was so true.. I had been asked to teach Math to Form 3 and Form 4 and Moral Education and Civic Education to Form 4 apart of doing the relief. How was it? hurm.. fun! i did learn numerous things especially regarding real teaching atmospheres. I've learned how to cope with those students who don't really keen on studying, i've learned on how to deal with problematic students (i mean..in the sense of their discipline matters). As majority of the students were Chinese and Indians, I seriously had to know the most effective way on tackling their attention, and ya.. I had to master my proficiency of English as well. Thank God, I was able to accomplish my job. It was so sad to leave the school even though I only worked there for a month. It was the Teacher's Day Celebration during my last day in that school. I received quite numbers of present. It wasn't really important..I only particular on their continuous hard work in their studies and their success would definitely create grins upon my face.




Yeah..it was undeniably true as I couldn't stop smiling when I received messages through YM, FB or even via text messages regarding my ex- students achievement in their PMR. It was the sweetest gives
ever.





What else happened on 2009 ya? yeah..the huge transition from a college student to a university student. UPSI.The first time I stepped my feet on UPSI's ground, I could feel my stomach grumbled as I couldn't expect what kind of life will I lead. With new housemates, coursemates, lecturers, seniors.. I really had no idea on what to predict. Thank God.. so far I manage to go through each and every circumstances approached. Semester 1 passed by with a happiness and relieves from me as personally I think I've done my best and got a good pointer in my final sem exam. I wish it will remain till the end of semester..God willing.


here is my simple quotation by me,myself and i to be shared with love to all of u..:)

" to dream is sweet, to head to the dream is sweeter, to achieve the dream is sweetest"

PERHAPS

 ASSALAMUALAIKUM..

this was actually a poem created by my group members and I in my English for Communication class..yeah..  I know..it might sound typical, boring and dull..but..it's okay as  I am still in a learning process and the ability to come up with a very dramatic, touchy and a masterpiece-like kind of literary pieces would definitely take me some times..:) this was actually the first task given by our tutor, Miss Yoon who wanted (come on..10 minutes for this..what u expect?..haha) us to do it spontaneously but believe me..this is truly from our heart..

Perhaps,
If I were not a teacher,
I were a singer, as popular as Ziana Zain,
or even miming " Love Story" while strumming my guitar up.

Perhaps,
If I were not a teacher,
I might isolate myself in my quiet office,
cracking my mind on the next tower to build.

Perhaps,
If I were not a teacher,
I maybe rehearsing for a fashion show,
deciding whether to choose
Jimmy Choo's, Tom Abang Saufi's,
or Gucci's.

Eventhough there were many perhaps,
I realized I need a teacher,
to make my dreams come true,
and perhaps I am the teacher.
