Hello July.

July.

A new month filled with surprises.

Well, let's start with a not-so-nice surprise.

I texted one of the officers in UKM to ask about the status of my name as in whether or not it's in the list for the upcoming senate meeting.

Apparently, all our names must be in the list for the meeting in which the board will determine whether these names are qualified for graduation next year.

And as confident as I was, I thought that my name is already in the list as I have completed all the requirements that were needed.

And the officer said that my name was not listed in it.

Dumbfounded, I asked her what does she mean by that when I have everything done and submitted before the deadline.

And as usual, I was referred to another officer through email and when I emailed her my condition, the only response I got was,

Noted. Thank you.

What?

So right now, I am keeping my finger-crossed that my name will be eventually processed and submitted in the list before the meeting.

Moving on, school is re-opening in two weeks time for the upper primary and another 2 more weeks for the lower primary.

And somehow, I had mixed feelings about it.

I am excited to meet my pupils back especially those who have been really cooperative and always participating in our google meet session.

However, the idea of meeting those Year 6 boys who apparently ignored my homeworks and left the group created mainly to reach them somehow makes me wish that school is closed for a little while.

But, I am ready to jump back into teaching mode.

Being stuck at home for almost 4 months has given me more than enough rest,

and also made me reconsider my life choices for the future.

So, its time to get back to work and work harder.

Last but not least, I have received a letter of recognition from the educational office.

Apparently, I was selected to receive APC (Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang or also known as Excellent Service Award) in my school.

And honestly, I am grateful to be chosen as one of the recipients.

But I wish that people would not judge my works as well as my efforts as trying to win this award.

For me, this award actually doesn't mean much to me.

It is just a piece of certificate and monetary incentive to reward the service that I have poured in my career.

And honestly speaking, without the opportunities given by both my previous and current headmasters, 

I would not be able to learn as well as provide my service.

And without the help of my colleagues who have always been helping out from day one I was posted ot that school, I would not be able to reach this far.

Therefore, this award should be shared to all of them as without them, 

I would not be able to show my capabilities and provide my service to the school as well as my pupils.

And that's all for now.

Stay tuned for more updates soon!
