Sweet moments with my students 2A, they arranged a surprised party for me.Thanks dear...1 Malaysia.
There was quite a long time , i did nothing to this my lil.books.Really, i miss this 'sesawang'.After being a teacher for merely 10 months and three month time left to finish up my practical in this school. There were many stories to tell, i did not know which stories i want to jot it down. A teacher is not like the bed of roses, if you really like to teach, it definitely a sweets and interesting job to involve in. Teacher involve with human not machine, you planned this and hope it worked like you planned but sometimes it turns to crap. You will feel you are not appreciating by the students. Then you are starting to regret you choice and thought that this profession not suits with you. That was my feeling at the beginning, but with the support and courage from friends and my beloved MOMS!. I can go through and you know what????? It is really nice to be a teacher. yeah..i love them. i love my class 2A and 2B. They made me red, they made me tear and they made me smile. I love them. I gonna miss them. Really....I love to be a teacher. i love this one, "When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali
It's merely 3 weeks being as practical teacher...i think i'm starting to love my students, haha...yup i love them..they made me laughed, they made me scream, they made me red, they made me want to cry..but all of all they made me stands as a teacher, without them..teachers will not be existed. Even, at first i can't control the class, but at last i managed too, a million thanks for them for really appreciate me, one of the students 1.

huhhhhh...there were many feedback that they gave to me...but all that feedback really make me ponders and reflects about my teaching...i can't just teaching for the sake of good grade..but i want my students and me be mutually exclusive learn from each other....and i want them to really learn something from me at the least..
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. [Credit]
“You are what you are now not what you are used to be.”
Upon listening to this proverb from Dr. Jafre, it makes me to reflect back upon my previous life in campus. Get the pointers above three at least and try to get dean each terms were my aims and luckily I managed to get it albeit not every terms I was listed in dean’s list but my overall PNGK still in first class honor. Not to tell the world and act cocky but likewise people said you sow what you had reap it was true. However back to the few weeks as a practical teacher, I can tell you it is not easy to be a GOOD teacher but it is like ABC to be a teacher. People always said to be a teacher is an easy- peasy, but once you experienced it, you will know man. Even your good grades/ good PNGK in campus couldn’t help you. It is very far distance between the theories and practical. Human is not a machine that will work out as we planned. But we can control them to follow the planned. The thing is what we planned, we imagined and worked sometimes were just a crap because lack of knowledge and experienced to teach them well. First week with them (students) really make me headache and want to give up. Oh my God, am I born to be a teacher? I could feel my lust to be a teacher was in critical level but I know I can’t just give up easily. That wasn’t me. Even in campus, I’m not started with brilliant students but at last I can manage well. So I think it’s time to do something. ‘You Are What You Are Now Not What You Used To Be’. This proverb is really open up my lenses.
I’ll try my best, like I always told to my class it is OK to be wrong because we learned through our mistakes. So do I. Thus, I will use this opportunity to learn and experience before I go to a real teaching profession. I must start from the scratch, this terms was not like the last seven terms I go through in campus. The PNGK was symbolized nothing albeit I will do it my best to teach them.

Watch 'Ring of Fire' in the sky Jan 15
Just want to share some information about the annular solar eclipse to be held tomorrow, it was an "annular eclipse" of the sun, where the moon is too far from the Earth to completely cover the sun's disk. That leaves a blazing "ring of fire" shining around the moon as it passes in front of the sun from Earth's perspective.
"When several things like this happen at once, it's often considered to be a 'turning point'. Pay attention to what occurs on this date." -Madeline Gerwick
As a muslims, we need to foreseen it as in Surah Ibrahim verse 33:
“Dan Dia juga yang menjadikan matahari dan bulan sentiasa beredar untuk kepentingan kemudahan kamu dan yang menjadikan malam dan siang bagi faedah hidup kamu.”
Sesungguhnya Allah menjadikan malam dan siang adalah sebagai tanda kekuasaan atau bukti kekuasaan-Nya, keduanya (malam dan siang) akan mengakibatkan perubahan dan perbezaan cuaca, masa dan waktu. Begitu juga dengan kejadian gerhana, adapun gerhana itu terbahagi kepada dua iaitu gerhana matahari dan bulan. Gerhana itu ialah suatu perubahan, suatu kejadian, suatu keagungan dan kebesaran tuhan yang berlaku pada matahari dan bulan, di mana kejadian ini adalah suatu perkara yang amat mudah bagi Allah Subhanahu Wata’la melakukan-Nya. Oleh itu jika berlaku kejadian gerhana matahari atau bulan, ianya bukanlah merupakan suatu tanda akan timbul suatu kejadian yang aneh dan mengkhuatirkan, tetapi gerhana itu berlaku atas sifat wajib bagi Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala iaitu berkehendak dan berkuasa atas segala sesuatu yang tidak dapat dihalang oleh apa jua kekuatan pun di dunia ini, sebagaimana hadis Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam:
“إن الشمس والقمر آيتان من آيات الله لا ينكسفان لموت أحد ولا لحياته فإذا رأيتموهما فادعوا الله وصلوا حتى ينكشف ما بكم (رواه البخاري ومسلم)
Maksudnya: Sesungguhnya matahari dan bulan adalah 2 bukti daripada tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah Ta’ala. Kedua-duanya tidak akan gerhana kerana kematian atau hidupnya seseorang. Maka apabila kamu melihat gerhana keduanya itu maka berdoalah kepada Allah, dirikanlah sembahyang sehingga hilangnya tanda gerhana daripada kamu.
so, kat cni nak share sket ngan korg cara2 utk melakukan solat sunat gerhana matahari;
Solat gerhana ini disunatkan untuk ditunaikan secara berjemaah dengan diseru sebelum mendirikannya : as-Solatu Jaami'ah!! ( Solat berjemaah )
Niatnya : "Sahaja aku solat sunat gerhana matahari dua rakaat mengikut imam kerana Allah Ta'ala" - (Jika berimam) ataupun "Sahaja aku solat sunat gerhana matahari dua rakaat kerana Allah Ta'ala" - (Jika solat seorang diri)
Solat gerhana ini boleh dilakukan secara berseorang atau secara berjemaah dan sebaiknya dilakukan secara berjemaah. Solat Gerhana mengandungi 2 rakaat, 4 al-Fatihah, 4 rukuk, dan 4 sujud. Iaitu seperti berikut :
