What A Day!!

Last week my classmates and I were assigned with our first simulated teaching for this semester. However just before the class started, I realized that I have forgotten to bring my CD, which I’m going to use for the set induction. Without any delay, I grabbed my car keys, ran down a flight of stairs, walked hurriedly to the parking lot, started my car and quickly drove home. Along the way I can’t help but to be angry to myself. How could I be so careless? What was I thinking? After less than 15 minutes I found myself standing right in front of my study table searching for my CD. Bingo!! Found it!! After putting it safely in my bag, I rushed back to class. The minute I stepped my feet in the classroom obviously the class has started when I saw one of my classmates performing her simulated teaching with Dr. Edwin sitting at the back of the class evaluating her. I managed to squeeze in quietly hoping that I will not be disturbing others.
After panting a breathe of exasperation, I heard my name was called indicating that I will be performing next. I was a little nervous though, but on the other hand was feeling rather happy as well because I really want to get it done quickly. Frankly speaking this simulated teaching has kept me a little tensed for this past few weeks. Well, it’s not that I have never done it before. I felt like something is not right here but I don’t know what.
So with the little confidence that I have left in me, I stepped to the front, laid all my materials and notes, and was about to start my teaching when I noticed that I don’t have the CD with me!! Oh my God!! I took the trouble to drive home like crazy earlier, and what I have in my bag was only the cover of the CD!!!! Suzynarita!!!!!!!!!!! What on earth were you thinking??? I have no other way but to explain to my instructor what had happened. Thank God, he said that he would evaluate me on the next day. So again with an exasperated sigh, I was feeling very angry to myself for being so careless. Later that day, I found the CD was still in my laptop. I realized that I have forgotten to take it out the night before. I guess that day wasn’t my day after all!

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu...

Happy Birthday Beloved PM

Image
Today is his 69th birthday. When asked what does he want for his birthday, he replied, "nothing expensive". A very humble person he is. That is one of his many good qualities. The following short and simple poem is dedicated to this humble and respected man, though the person himself may not read it. Nothing expensive from me. My jackets are made of leather, My cups are made of porcelain clay, Storm or sunshine, any kinds of weather, May the Lord bestows upon you a blissful and prosperous birthday! Happy birthday dear Prime Minister. It is sad to know the hardship you have gone through in your political life, but at the same time I am impressed with your strong personality in facing those calamities. May you have a smooth sailing in your journey of life. ~Swan Princess~

Malaysian Heritage

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama...
