Bila lama.....banyak ceritanya...haha

 Hampir sebulan lebih tak menjenguk kat sini. Sibuk dan kurang sihat pula. Tambah dengan berbagai masaalah menjelma yang perlu perhatian ....aduhai.

Oh well ,when was the last time I sat at my table facing my window with the sawah view. It was April the 20th! oh me oh my.

Lots of things happened. Some good some downright maddening .

1. My old house at number 7 was in total disrepair. Thanks to the termite infestation. I felt like crumbling to my knee when I saw the damage done. Dont know yet when I have the strength to bring it back to it formal self. Thanks to cikli making her a store for his belongings. Everything is ruined....

2.Cikli's spat with the cleaner make my damage harder. I lost a reliable company to take care of cleaning my house...so very frustrating.

3. Someone has an operation. Small as it was,it worried me not able to lend a helping hand.

4. Things that I never ever anticipate did happen....oh why me

5 Lastly I succumbed to all pressures and was immobilized. Had that frightening experience of being a stroke patient. Rang the ambulance at early morning . Doctor said I had problem with my back and affected my limbs. Thankfully for the treatment at KPJ I am near my normal self. For three hours in the emergency dept it cost a thousand buck...

But not all are in gloom....

Weak as I were, I managed to ...

1. Celebrate Raya with my family members. We had lontong in the house with ciklin as the chef. The best lontong said someone. 

2 The cucus were here to celebrate Raya. How chirpy they were and cheered us with their antics. Love my cucus dearly. 

3. I managed to decorate my house even under duress. We had new furnishing for the house thanks to Lazada and Shopee. 

4. Managed to join the marriage and wedding of my nephew in Pokok Sena. Selamat Pengantin Baru Safuan and spouse. May you all be blessed. Congrat adik Bib for having a new menantu. 

5. Visit my ailing adik ipar in SP . Rasa perjalanan naik komuter pergi balik. Quite an experience. May Allah swt blessed him with speedy recovery.

Haha,like to share my new deco of my house. Tak lah gempak mana pun. Just as a memory that even on wheelchair I took the initiative to change the environment of my tiny house.... here you all....berkat pertolongan adik yg bernama Lia..

Lazada's catch

another catch

alatan pertukangan 

eh apa dlm ni... lupa pulak

bertungkus lumus jahit tangan cantum dua keping.

dalam cobaan nak mewangikan rumah, lelahla pulak bau dia...haha

jadilah rupa ni..

living room 

meja makan... la awat tudung meja pakai curtain
Nak tema coklat begitu

sofa yang barai dek di cakar kucing pun dapat sofa cover dari China.
Throw cushions dari Msia. Murah murah saja.
Carpet Joe Raja lelong pilihan cikli...

All in all, if anything happens , stay steady. Dont worry. Everything will pass. Semua kuasa Allah yang memberi. Terima dengan tenang hati. Allah kan maha mengasihi.

Bye. Have a nice day . Sayang semua.

 

Curhat...yeletuu.

 Tertonton juga beberapa episod drama jam 10 saluran Astro 104. Lakonan aktress anak Perlis. Kurus dan cengkung dia sekarang. Terbaca dia sedang sakit. Semoga segera sembuh.

Aku pernah kurus. Papan sekeping kata orang. Sekarang dah level tong dram pulakk.Hehe.

Put aside lah all those body shaming. Kurus kena tegur, gemok pun kena. Mulut orangkan.....

Its not the main character that interest me much. But the mother. Yes the mum. 

Amboiii... sapalah yang tulis skrip ni. 

Ehh adakah lagi emak yang mulut bagai petir Lembah Kelang? Dengan mata terbeliak melayan anak anak dan suami. Tension tau tgk character begitu. 

Oh well.. why did I relate petir lembah Kelang.? When I was in Kajang and the capital,I noticed that the level of petir there were ear shattering. Very much different from here. 

Just this morning, as I peered thru my window, I spotted a motorcycle outside the gate. A father and son on their way to school making a u turn. Ahh... lama tak kelih budak budak pi sekolah. Rindu pulak suasana sekolah.

Bukan rindu nak pi kerja tapi rindu budak budak...

Dan melintas difb tentang perihal guru guru ramai yang minta bersara awal. Terfikir sejenak. Kesian anak anak berdua yang jadi guru. Berat bebanan dengan kerenah birokrasi.

When I was an admin starting from Penolong Kanan Kurikulum, then PK Kurikulum, lastly GB,the situation was already intense. But today,as it is, its more tense. 

Remembered those crazy days during my mbmmbi days when there were files upon files in the meeting room of the school. Every pupil should have a file for every subject. Paper works must be filed. Worksheets must be filed. Crazy. Last last kementerian kata mereka tak suruh pun buat file banyak banyak tu. Kesian cikgu cikgu. Penat lelah tak berbaloi.

As an mbmmbi teacher, I said to myself...these all are crazy. And I chose not to follow rigidly. Mai orang ppd, amboi tak senang hati sbb tak banyak lembaran kerja dalam file. 

I dont do photostat work day in day out ,puan. For your info, my work is in the books. And its not the thickness of the worksheets that indicate what my students have learnt.Its about how much they have learned. How many have passed and be better than what I started with.

Tak puas hati cik puan tu. I got less mark from her than another colleague. And her report about me to gb was ridiculous. Next year I didnt continue my contract.....

She should test my student's grammar, vocabulary and reading skills....not on my files solely.

Haha... I who used to get 90 plus marks just managed to get 70 . Ayo yo kadawale..

Remembered too when I was a head, I defied order to take part in competition . If it doesnt bring benefit to the school. Just imagine an SKM school being ordered to take part against A schools. Even to the extent of reaching out to KPM. . 

Armed with statistic, I rang PPD not to make my teacher leave school so often. You all tau tak cikgu ni kena tugas luar 230 hari. Bila dia nak mengajar?

Next year I saw my teacher more often in school....berjaya kerana buat checklist kehadiran guru guru setahun.

Well, the root of the problems in school nowadays lies in too much bureaucracy. Too much input. Too much plans. 

Cikgu kena pantas, cerdik, Tau guna internet, apps, data storage.Tau hak asasi, berani.Tau jadi arkitek, designer, musician, jurutari, art director, computer programmer. Haha ..apalagi . 

Curhat seorang pesara. Yang mampu lihat saja cacamerba pendidikan kita. Yang pernah rasa situasi gila ini.

Curhat ke tu

Yeletu.

Bye.

Salam yang tertangguh..........

 Salam Ramadan readers.

ITs day 5 already. Phew how time flies. 

Been a quiet and uneventful ramadan so far. Dont know how it would be tomorrow. All is yet to come.Just hope for the best of our interest,I guess.

These are a few dishes that I managed to put up for the breaking of the fast. Despite having weak knees and legs. I tired off so easily these few days. 

ayam masak merah kenduri kawin.

Nasi minyak terlupa bahan

rupa tak cerminkan rasa

terlebih cuka la pula....

As I browsed my blogger page,I was quite taken by surprise by the number of foreign visitors. Yesterday , a record high from Sweden, USA, UK ,Indonesia. 

Good wishes to all . 

Salam Ramadan.

Footnote * Cooking during the month of ramadan is quite challenging. You are not in your best of form so forgetting some ingredients which is vital is uncommon. I forgot the susu cair which is important. 

The sawah across the road.....

 The plot of land or sawah or padi field just across the road stood still in the morning light. Not a soul was in sight. No birds,no monkeys . Lifeless.

Rather peculiar ,doesnt it. As every morning ,a hive of activities could be seen as far as the eyes could see.

Glancing farther in the distance, the seamless sky looks bleak. Not a stray of light is seen in the horizon. 

But wait!

I could hear the birds chirping, the cock crowing and the passing vehicles zooming by.

Thank Almighty Allah I feel BLESSED. I still have my sights, my hearing and my thinking. Not all people my age enjoy this gift. Recently one of my friends on fb was called to god. A friend who was dear to me, who helped me when I was struggling to learn the computer.

Dear friend, I may seem uncaring but I do remember the good deeds people do to me. I treasure them. 

Well well.... these few days it was hot. Not actually hot as per say. But still its hot.

Kes professor UITM the latest.

Adoih.... I was a garang teacher those teaching days. No hanky panky in my class. No cincai bocai with my work. I taught intently. Always finding ways to make my lessons clear. To get my students be better students. 

Hence the garangness... hehe. 

But as far as I could remember, I was not mean to B40 students as I was from a B40 family myself. I tried to coax them to study hard for their betterment. Sometimes shedding tears when students ignore my advice. 

My favourite manta was... miskin tak semestinya terus miskin. Belajar rajin rajin, kalau kita tak jadi M40, biar anak anak kita jadi T20. 

Belajar setinggi mampu, cari ilmu, hidup tak buntu. Dtg masaalah, tak lah rasa dunggu. . 

Watching the exodus of people crossing the causeway, made me shed tears too. After two long years of separation and anxiety ..... to be united with loved ones only God knows the feeling. I felt how separation anxiety was. Even though it was just three months....

Thats all people... actually got lots to write. But ....hopes all well ends well. Stay strong you all. 

Selamat menyambut puasa.
