Work.

Assalamualaikum and hey guys!

Weekend is here and here I am writing my entry. So, for the past two weeks, nothing big was actually happening to me and around me. Just still struggling with my final project paper write-up, personality and personal issues, social life, and preparation for School Sport's Day which will be on next week. 

Early this year, I decided to be determined about writing my lesson plans on time. Yeah, this procrastinator keep on procrastinating in writing his lesson plans and there you go, I was waayyy behind almost 5 months without lesson plans in my file. The struggle was real to finish writing all of them, but not this year. I managed to keep it up to date according to the current week, the late would just be 2 weeks behind. So I congratulate myself for that, 👏 I hope this will continue on until the end of this year, and throughout my teaching career. It is the utmost co-business for a teacher and I should keep that in mind. A lot of people said that lesson plans are just pieces of papers. The most important thing is what you teach, what you deliver in the classroom that can be grabbed by the pupils and for them to show good understanding of the lessons. While for me, I complete the lesson plans because it is what we are supposed to do and I know my pupils good enough to teach them what they want and need to learn to prepare them for the future undertaking. That is all.

Next thing is I am in charge of training the pupils for the performance during closing ceremony of the school sports. I decided to choose the song of Proud Mary from the Glee cast for the pupils to perform. I chose my Year 3 pupils to do this because they are the one who I thought passionate and capable of doing it. I've been training them for almost two weeks and we'll see their performance later in the next entry.

Also, in accordance for the preparation for the school sports, I as the leader for Rumah Merah quite happy for everything that we have done so far. We did some rearrangement for the athletes for all Rumah Sukan and all three of the Rumah Sukan will definitely have a tight competition to be the champion this year. Even though I'm not a sporty person, but I still did my best to train the athletes for Rumah Merah because, yes everyone wants to win la kan, haha. We worked so hard as well to decorate our Pondok Rumah Sukan because it will be competed, and no marching competition this year. All in all, all of us including the teachers and students prepared and worked so hard to be champion this year. Wish us luck!

I guess that's all for today's entry. As usual, I have so many things to write but don't want this one entry to be long, so that's it for today. I definitely will be posting lots of pictures and video for next entry as I will keep you guys updated regarding our School Sport's Day. Stay tuned. 😊

Work hard and be kind. Until then, bye!

#2019IsAllAboutMe

Hey guys!

We meet again! Haha. Supposedly I am planning to update my blog weekly, but yeah... I've been caught up by things at work, study and life, so, yeah. Plus, I don't really think that people will read this blog anyway so I don't really care. Yeah, Yeah... 😝

As usual, I will talk about things that happened last week. On March 21st, there was a Karnival Perpaduan Bahasa Inggeris for Beluran District Level held at SK Jaya Bakti, Beluran. I volunteered to be the guru pengiring to bring two pupils from our school to participate in the Scrabble competition. The purpose is just simple. I just want the pupils (who are qualified) to just grab some experiences and for me to expose to them that learning is just not only sitting in class and study. Not also forgetting the fact that the pupils should strive for the Co-curricular marks too. Representing school at district level can grant them marks to be put in their PPSR report later. I want the pupils to experience the moment which I didn't really get while I was still at school as a pupil. The result? It doesn't really matter. The pupils lost at Round 1 but I still proud of them for scoring higher than their opponent. They were just unlucky to get eliminated by four consecutive zeros. Nvm, we try again next year, with proper training and techniques.

My pupils participated in the Scrabble competition.

That is for the pupils' part. For my part, I started to realize that I was underestimating myself for what I am actually capable of doing. The story was that I was asked to be one of the judges for the Scrabble competition coz they don't have enough English teachers to be the judge. But I refused to be one and kinda rejected their offer. I did that because I had quite a terrible experience being one, couple of years before so I was like, naah, that's it. No more. But then, like what I said, I kept on underestimating myself. I always like to take the easy way out of almost everything. Afraid to take risks coz I fear of the failures, disappointment, and sadness. One thing that I forgot is that upon reaching success and happiness, we always face those three in between. Therefore, it sparks in my head the feeling of collecting positive vibes and dare to take risks. If we don't even try, we wouldn't know what we would get and where we will end up. So next time, just say YES!

During one week of the school break, I went to UPSI to meet my supervisor to consult with her about the progress of my project paper. It started with the buying of the flight ticket, the travel from KL to Tanjung Malim, hotel stay, apartment stay, and yes, all of them involve money. To be honest, I spent more than 5k just for the flight tickets, transportations, and accommodations. Looking at it, it costs me a lot but that is the sacrifice I need to make to get my Master's degree. The consultation went well and I somehow got the motivation to really do this one better. It's not only my ambition, it's also the hope of my family so I am holding a big responsibility there and in accordance to set a good example for my siblings. Difficult difficult now, easy easy later. Be patient, you will get there.

Another thing is I got myself a new Apple Watch Series 4! It feels so good to own thing you wanted. I worked hard for it so I think it wouldn't be a harm to award myself for being awesome, (I guess) haha! I feel exclusive again and it did motivate me in preparing for my half marathon end of next month. It eases my life in terms of getting instant notifications and the most important thing is the health features in it that really helps me a lot. 

It's Apple Watch Series 4 Space Gray Aluminum Case 44mm.

I do really want to make 2019 to be all about me, myself, and I. I always tolerate and care about other people, that includes my family, my pupils, my friends, and most of the people around me and even to strangers. So, I think now it's the time to think about myself and ensuring that 2019 is all about me. I deserve some spotlights in my life too and now it's the time for it.

So I guess that's all for today's entry. It's quite a long entry and I tend to do one every time, haha. And at the same time I don't want my readers to read lengthy entry and got bored. Give some comments guys on what do you feel about my entry and do tell me what I need to do to improve my entry writing. Work hard and be kind. Until then, bye!
