Last year, I posted pre-Taiwan trip, and I did step my foot there; this year, for SPP Interview's sake, I can only google about Hainan Island, without leaving my footprints on my mother's mother's hometown this time.


Yang Ming Shan, Taipei~ The coldest I experienced! =D

Beach, canoe? We have it at Palm Beach & Damai Beach Kuching.

Mangrove? I've been to Bako National Park 2 months back. 

Tigers?  I've seen more well fed ones at Thailand and Singapore's Zoo. 

Coconut trees? are you kidding, (i just went to check), yes, i've one right in front of my house. 

Highlands? Cameron Highland, Genting Highlands, we have casinos and theme park there wei!

Yatch, haven't been to one, but not that i can afford that water sports even if i do go to Hainan Island...





Coconut tree wei .... Proudly presents our Hilltop Damai Beach (^_^)



Mangrove hike with youngsters.... Proudly presents our Bako National Park, where you can see the famous sea stake~!  (^_^)


Dad, mom n I posing in the cool breeze... Proudly presents our Cameron Highlands :)

SO Yes, this is solely a self-comforting entry. Ooh, I'm just so sad! Even if I am willing to skip the interview, i know my parents will strongly oppose to that naive idea.  At least Kevin and Aunty Jenny are secretly glad that I can tutor Jefferson now. Dearest blog, thanks for letting me pouring out. Hope the 17 of them had extra joy on my behalf :')  btw God, I still love you! Sorry I felt unfair and complaint, and Thank You for the past wonderful trips, and many more to come~! =D

Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan

Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan



"Pendidikan di Malaysia adalah satu usaha berterusan ke arah memperkembangkan lagi potensi individu secara menyeluruh dan bersepadu untuk mewujudkan insan yang seimbang dan harmonis dari segi intelek, rohani, emosi dan jasmani. Usaha ini adalah bagi  melahirkan rakyat Malaysia yang berilmu pengetahuan, berakhlak mulia, bertanggungjawab, berketrampilan dan berkeupayaan untuk mencapai kesejahteraan diri serta memberi sumbangan terhadap keharmonian dan kemakmuran keluarga, masyarakat dan negara."

Simple Reflection:

Why do we study? Why do we even study to teach them to study? With this National Education Philosophy at hand, perhaps I would be constantly reminded that Education is a life long process to balloon up our individual potential.  And the reason? So that we can create a balance and harmony individual intelectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically. 

JERI. Another reminder for self and you, exercise is crucial; as well as knowledge, and spiritually journey and controlling our emotions.  As I write this out, I am amazed by the connections between these 4 elements :)

Since young, we were taught moral values, in school and at home. Education will produce citizens who are knowledgeable, morally characterized, responsible, competent and ability to achieve well-being.  Not only for self, but we should contribute to the harmony and prosperity of our family, society, country and world at large.

Knowledge, does not solely serve as information or explanation for others, but knowledge influence, change and shape what we are today.



God bless all, especially those we are sitting for the coming SPP interview! \(^_^)/

updated 7:58pm:

Q: How do I show someone unconditional love?







Here are 4 surefire signs to go by.






Physically: You're there for them in person, standing by their side, so they're not alone.


Emotionally: You offering your support by allowing them to honestly and openly express their feelings.


Mentally: You help them think through their actions, motives, and desires.

Spiritually: You pray for and with them and help them grow in all aspects of their life.

Dancing & Baking =)

Being jobless, allows me to catch up with my neighbour, Aunty Carrie and Uncle Charlie.  After a speedy 2 months as a relief teacher at Lodge National School, I went back to Senior Citizens Club to join their Monday's Ballroom Dance, Press Dance and Folk Dance. 

Everytime I see them, I'd feel so much alive.  Some are more than 80, yet they are so energetic is dancing; the grandparents woke up and 'gather' as early as 8am to play pool/snooker.  It has been exactly 2 months since I last exercise (shameful), and though I'm a slow learner, I'm quite surprised when the beginners were amazed, asking how many years have I learned and ask me to teach them. Duh.. @_@ haha! 

*Dancing is fun!*(^_^)

Update request by Ed:


Ed, the man in black and blocks. Haha. Few adjectives about his buddy: Not forgiving (he still blames me uploading a picture of us which caused him to break up with his then gf); other than that, he's a funny guy, helpful, sincere and yes, he treats those who treats him well :) ps, hope our friendship doesn't end here (^_^)

coming to an end.

7:45am  Send pendrive to mom at General Hospital.  Parents never grumble but dutifully send us to school since kindergarten days; I don't know if this happens to other families, but sometimes my siblings will be reluctant to do the 'Extra' chores. Eg: cleaning the kitchen, buying the groceries, having meals at home with parents or simply, have pillow talk/ tv session with parents.  -p.s. had an 1 hour pillow talk session with mom last night <3 -

8:15am  Googled for 'Doublewoot' again! Was at the verge of purchasing another blouse (Red Lacey top) until I had to deliberately pull over my bedsheet, start the washing machine, throw in my applegreen comforter, in the hope of distracting myself from the dress addiction.  C'om, need not mention the Bosnia poverty, deep within our beloved Sarawak, there are countless of villagers who lived in poverty.  How many headbands can I wear?  How many dresses can one body wear a time? Yiing Yiing, please.  Attn to Yvonne: help each other? (perhaps limit to 1-2 dress per income?) -_-"'

10:10am  Gave Miss Cindy the pinkish headband.  She loved it! She is interested to come over to make, perhaps a new friendship will be bonded :)  Btw, through this madness of making headbands, Yvonne and I got to know a new friend: Enid Sim!  She bakes; for sale; real good stuff.

12:30noon Busy preparing the final exams papers for each class; couldn't join Mdm Margaret and colleagues out for lunch. She said the shark tastes good; I had Nasi Lemak, RM 1:50, tastes good though its cold dy. haha.    

1:45pm  Back from class 2A.  Gosh, I think I will miss this naughty class very much!  Michael, Rita, Timotheus, Adeline to name a few.  They are super talkative; yet they excel in tests with a near perfect score!  They are natural actors and actresses; such potential and courage to act in front of the class!  How I miss our Theater course in UPM =)

2:20pm Going to invigilate the Form 4 at the library later.  3 teachers invigilating at the same time =) 

The spot I'm sitting at now, the teacher's room; the few colleagues I get to know, the students especially.. this school....2 months passed just like that.. solely for my memory.  

How to Build a Human

Another 15 minutes to enter 4D, one of my favourite class~  We'll be watching the documentary about cloning, entitled 'How to have Sex'.

The title alone excites the students; so is the teacher! As you know, EST is connected to Science and Technology.  Therefore, seeing a penis penetrating a vagina is alike the notes we learn in Biology.  Just that, we'll be seeing the video instead of an illustrated picture.

Honestly, I've shown part 1 'How to Build a Human' three times, for 4B,  4C and 4D; and the wonder of cells still captivates me!  Imagine, we, able to sit here and typing, was actually from the fertilization of the biggest cell a.k.a. Ovum and the smallest cell, a.k.a. Sperm!  Thousands of sperms attack the ovum, but only one will penetrate into it~ Ah...



Moral of the story: Appreciate the little things in life *lame* haha~

Travelling back to UPM, in 14 days!

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

Clicked some buttons, and tada, a new layout for blogger~
If only life is as simple, just a few clicks here and there, then tada, we're made new~!
 
A weekend passed by so swiftly,
I spent my weekend at home,
chasing after another new Hong Kong drama,
there's this teacher name Miss Ho in there,
i like the carefree way she dressed to school,
and her enthusiasm and passion in teaching,
she chose to be transfered from Band 1 school to Band 3,
(band 1 being the tip top school)
and she's sought after by the two main actors~!
 *wink wink*
 
Anyway, Monday is approaching,
another 4 weeks, i'll be leaving Lodge..
i sorta like the school, and the students
i bet as a teacher,
we'll have to experience countless 'goodbyes'
 
after she left,
I felt super lonely and the days were streched longer
but i'm grateful to experience being colleagues with my bestie
will we be like sister chiong Il and Qi qian?
to be posted to the same school??
*greedy mode on*
 
anyway, convocation is around the corner,
another 2 weeks,
oh, how much have i missed KL!
i don't miss Linguistic class, but i do miss Dr Jaya, Dr Edwin..
i do miss Bukit Expo and the UPM Swimming Pool
i do miss IK sessions and Euphoria night outs.
i do miss weekend away to melacca, genting, cameron and berjaya hills
i do miss Serdang Methodist Church and the camps
i do miss our theatre preparation and performance! (the highlight of this course, for me)
i do miss my roommates
i do miss working with Captivate and earning side income
ah.. thank you God
 
2 years at UPM, not long, but the memories...P.R.E.C.I.O,U.S
after this convo, i've no idea if i'll still go back..
