"The Untouchables"

Life is becoming so hectic, life as a wife, a mother, a teacher… Everything needs to be done, need to be attended to, every single thing. Not only my own children I have to “mould” and “shape” but as a teacher I have to do the same to all my students. And to do that these days to other’s children is definitely no simple matter. If 20 or 30 years ago, teachers are those who people look up to. No students dare to raise their face whenever their teacher preaches them. Even I myself, when I was a young student, do not dare to complain to my parents upon receiving slight strokes from my principal for not accomplishing my homework. I know if I were to do that, I will only receive more canings from my dad because of my own mistakes. Today, for the numerous times, my credibility as a teacher is being “challenged” by my student. Everyone in the class saw this particular student has a mobile phone with her, she in fact, proudly busy taking pictures of her friends with it. When she noticed that I

A Shocking News

I was busy bowling tonight with my family when my sister received a call from her colleague to inform her of sad news. Malaysian’s first cosmonaut, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar’s younger brother died few hours ago after few days in a coma. He was only 32 years old and has no history in suffering any serious illness. His parents were in Russia upon receiving the news that their beloved son passed out after walking into a pillar. They flew back to Malaysia immediately only to find their healthy son being treated in the I.C.U, unconscious. It was really a heartrending moment for the couple to witness such sight. And now they have to be extra strong to face this great test from Allah. Dr. Sheikh has accomplished his mission successfully and has made all Malaysians so proud of him. He has just arrived safely from the outer space about a week ago. He is supposed to be in quarantine for a month to make sure that he is perfectly healthy. However, due to the sudden news about the death of his dearly lo

You are the air I need to breathe the river of life inside of me you are the half that made me whole you are the anchor of my soul And you are strong when I am weak you are the words when I can't speak you never fail to see me through that's the love I found in you You are my shelter from the storm you are the road that leads me home and baby with you here face to face Oh I know I've found my place And you are strong when I am weak you are the words when I can't speak you never fail to see me through that's the love I found in you And once in every life you find the one that's right and when you say forever it's true That's the love I found in you You are strong when I am weak you are the words when I can't speak you never fail to see me through That's the love I found in you That's the love, love I found in you. Lovely melody, beautiful words chosen, very inspiring and stimulating indeed. Thank you Jim for your wonderful masterpiece.

My Valentine

The song that touches one's heart, reaches one's mind and feels deep into one's soul... If there were no words No way to speak I would still hear you If there were no tears No way to feel inside I’d still feel for you And even if the sun refused to shine Even if romance ran out of rhyme You would still have my heart Until the end of time You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine All of my life I have been waiting for All you give to me You’ve opened my eyes And shown me how to love unselfishly I’ve dreamed of this a thousand times before But in my dreams I couldn’t love you more I will give you my heart Until the end of time You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine And even if the sun refused to shine Even if romance ran out of rhyme You would still have my heart Until the end of time ’Cause all I need is you, my Valentine You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine ...and will always shed tears to one's eyes.

Teenagers vs Parents

As I was watching TV with my children on Friday night, I received a call from my colleague with shocking news – one of my students did not come home from school today! Has she been abducted like other girls?? Is my worst nightmare and my worst fear becoming a reality? My mind can’t help thinking about the worse that could happen. God, please make me wrong this time. Not long after the first call, I received another ring from my principal. She wanted to know if the girl was at school today. Yes she was in class today and as her class teacher, I gave my principal the rest of other information needed. Then, after having a long conversation with her, I received a third call and this time it’s from the father of my missing student. He, too, wanted to know if his girl was at school today, whether she shows any signs of depression and if I know any of her activities after school. I told him what I know, through the eyes of his daughter’s class teacher. Teenagers today are definitely not the s
