Spent my weekends on a school camping,
and totally no regrets!
Despite the sudden bad weathers as well as some pupils' actions,
I had a lot of fun with the awesome teachers and pupils too..
From the camp, I learnt a lot of new things,
and I experienced a lot of new feelings again.
Drove myself to the camping resort which is seriously something I felt proud of.
Just by depending on a google map which I browsed 2 minutes before I started my journey as well as trusting my instincts,
made ma felt like what I have dreamt all this while,
Being independent.
Reaching there and saw the camping site which a traditional Iban longhouse was a shocking experience,
But it totally reminds me of my village back in Roban,
and I missed my childhood.
And activities as well as spending time with the teachers whom have so much to talk about made me felt that,
no matter how frequent we felt lonely,
there will always be people around you who will still cheer you up.
The night where we did night walk or better known as "burung pungguk" was the best part,
I didnt know I could scared kids out of their wits,
and that shows how "creative" I could be sometimes..
And the feelings where kids held onto my hands and not letting go made me felt that,
teachers are indeed superheroes to the kids.
I am thankful that despite a few minor accidents whereby I fell (as usual) and got bitten by ants (as usual),
but everything went well.
No hysteria cases and everything went well.
I had fun and this is one of the most memorable camp with my awesome teachers and kids.
More to come!

The perks of being a teacher?
To have the power to create something out of nothing.
When I got my posting in Miri, I aimed for one goal.
Glory.
And because of that, i work towards that.
And I started to make little changes starting from the classes that I taught.
I felt that in order for people to recognise my accomplishments, I must do something that they can clearly see.
And thus, I started small.
By teaching and nagging my pupils about the need to greet with high enthusiasm while bowing down as a sign of respect,
By telling them to speak nicely to teachers and even resort to threatening them that if I heard any complaints, they will surely get punished.
By preparing my kids whom will perform in front of everyone,
By ensuring that whatever I learnt from other schools, I will try to be innovative and re-create it in my school.
And last but not least, ensuring that the teachers will see that their kids are as talented like all the other kids out there.
All you need is time, perseverance and commitment.
Kids might think that all this are just for my own intention of achieving glory,
but slowly, they too can see the changes happening in them.
How enthusiastic they are in the class,
How they got labelled from the worse class into a better one now,
and how the teachers paid attention to my worst class during their first-time performance in English.
As well as how teachers gave their compliments and applause after their performance.
That's the reward.
As for me?
Teachers found that I am special in my own ways.
Teachers complimented on the ways I taught my pupils to respect.
Teacher saw my creativity and my hard works in preparing kids in whatever I have planned for them.
And there is this sense of satisfaction when all the hard works I did behind the scenes get noticed and complimented.
And this drives my motivation to plant more seeds of changes in my school.
And all this thanks to my model teachers and lecturers, Mrs. Sharuliza, Mr. Charlton, Mr. John and Mdm. Vasanthi whom taught me that to create a great thing, we need to start slow and steady.
And because of that,
I will continue strive for greater things that I have in mind.
Let's do this!

September has finally ended,
and here we go with October..
Updates!
Exams are around the corner,
Getting prepped up with preparing kids for the year end performance,
Had a lot of ideas,
but putting it into action requires a lot of time and hard work.
Online stuffs, deadlines and ever-changing policies here and there are making career life a little difficult,
but there is always an end about it though.
Just gotta grab a tub of ice-cream and complete all those online stuffs!
Life?
Nothing much.
Still prefer staying inside,
Not getting out is the best solution.
Typically avoid any talks or discussions on love and relationship.
Basically, am out of it.
I guess, that's it.
Nothing much happened.
Just normal routines,
day in and day out.

Do you know that feeling?
The feeling where it seems you know that stranger,
or you've seen him before somewhere.
The feeling of warmth when you first meet the person,
even though both of you are total strangers.
I felt it today,
for the first time after so long.
Was driving and right at that time, saw this man.
It's as if I have met him somewhere.
Even though it was just a really brief moment,
but it felt familiar.
Maybe it's just me whose being over sensitive.
Or maybe we do meet before.
I wonder.

Weekends.
The time where everyone would be snuggling in their comfy blankets and beds.
The time where everyone could indulge in what they were planning to do.
The time where everyone is out at shopping malls, cinemas and restaurants.
The time where all the couples are out there showing their utmost affection.
The time where everyone rest.
Weekends.
Everyone anticipates it.
Including me.
The time where I thought I would sleep till noon.
The time where I thought I would be able to rest well and ignore whatever is happening around me.
The time where I too would be mingling in shopping malls, cinemas and restaurants.
The time where I would be truly happy.
The time where I would not want the weekend to end.
But, things do not happen as we imagined.
I still wake up early at 6am in the weekends.
I still think about the things that happen around me.
I dread of going to shopping malls, cinemas and restaurants.
I am totally bored.
And I wish that weekend ends early.
I guess the main reason is,
spending the weekend all alone without your friends and family around you,
seriously makes you wish that the weekend is over by the next day.
Sigh.

Dates.
Dates are numbers.
Could be significant and insignificant,
both for a reason.
Dates remind us of life events.
Birthdays,
Anniversaries,
Happy memories,
Our "first-time".
Dates also reminds us of a part that we wish not to remember.
Break-ups.
Sad moments,
Our "previously-we."
But trust me,
slowly.
Those dates will be forgotten.
And that basically tells you that,
you are now,
healed.

Two nights ago.
Someone came to her place,
offering words and warmth.
She was surprised with the warmth from this unknown identity.
She enjoyed the feelings.
For two nights,
for the first time, she was a glimpse of hope.
A glimpse of being finally attached to someone.
A glimpse of finally being cared about more than anyone else.
She had fun talking to this man.
She had fun being embraced and treated like a queen.
She was enjoying herself until when the train came to a stop,
she nearly went down the train with this unknown man,
when suddenly she realised.
It was all just a dream.
The warmth,
the embrace,
the care,
the feelings.
All were just merely a dream,
that popped when she was heading to the stop.
Is she disappointed?
She isn't.
She knew all this while that it is just a dream.
She just couldn't bring herselt to admit it.
It was something she yearn for but couldn't make a step towards it.
But she does miss it.
And she hoped the next time will be a true one.
The one that will stick to her for a long time.
The one that even if she has reached a stop, it will continue to linger around her and make her truly blessed,
that she has finally reach the destination with the one.
