Happy Teaching Life to Dear Teachers!

It's only the 3rd post of the year. I have been quite inactive nowadays due to my work life. It's really something which is so indifferent compare to when we were just pursuing our studies in degree. We have bigger responsibility now compare to before. If we do not teach the right way, we may not suffer but the ones who will suffer is the hundreds of kids who are being taught by us in the school. So, I am super determined to be a good teacher to all and finish my jobs given to me! All in all, let's have a Happy teaching life to all my fellow teachers!

Who And What Are Friends To You?

Yeah... Been away for a long time, and now I an back here Once again. Well, Let's talk about friends today. What can I say about this. So how can we define about friends anyway? Who are friends to u? Once there was a friend who tell me that he just see us as a friend with benefit in us. We are someone who he can use to move up in his life. But is this what true friend is defined as?

What I can say now is that we may have a lot of friends but how many are actually a true friend to us. How many do u have for as long as u have live in this big big world. Can you actually name 5 or more? Friends can be warm and cold at times. We fought and quarrel before. If we never went through the conflict part, I personally think that this is a not so powerful friendship.

Yeah, though we went through ups n downs for so many times in our life, I m sure a true friend will eventually come back to us. Once we cool down, we will have the ability to rethink what we have done and do the right thing in the end. No one in this world is perfect, including the world famous Nobel prize winner. This is all because they are just humans like every single one of us.

If they end up not coming back, I can declare this friendship over and let's try put our focus on someone else who we should treasure more in our life. One's life is not as long as you think it is when we realize how time has passed by us day by day. Do you know that you have went through 2 decades of life and it is fast approaching 3? So we should just move on with our life. Find our life target, plan ahead. Never wait till the last minute.

For my own life target this year, 3 have been done yet one has failed. I did not manage to go for masters this year as it crashed with my degree convocation. What to do. In life, we are given a lot of choice. I chose the one which most of us would have taken and that has made who I am today.

Objectives Of The Year Locked In!

So, I guess this is gonna be my first post for the year 2015! We are almost to the end of the first quarter of the year and I have quite satisfied with what I have achieved so far in this year. I started my teaching career this year when I officially started teaching in SK Kampong Baru, Kapit. Though there have been a few minor changes in between, I can finally say that I have settled down almost everything after spending about 2 months here. I have a very nice place to stay, nice food and hospitality. Other than that, my teaching life have been quite good. Not the so much hectic work full of hustle and bustle everyday. So, everything has been so far so good up until now.

Though there are still a few things which I need to improve on. For instance, the way I teach. Maybe I should not be so strict and tensed while teaching. I need to relax more. What to do? I guess this is one part of the learning to be a good teacher. I am human and human make mistakes too. I am pretty sure I will get used to a better and more enjoyable teaching method in another few years time. Teaching can be fun at times and it's a job for me to earn my living. Been spending a lot too. Especially in the car I bought. Luckily after this, I do not need to think of it anymore.

I still have a few objectives set for the year to achieve. The one which is coming soon is of course my convocation ceremony which will be attended by me in 2 months time. It's something which we have waited for 5.5 years and I am surely not gonna miss any single part of it. It's my ceremony and it's something me and my family can be proud of. Indeed I can't wait for the ceremony to take place. I need to take lots of pictures with my dearly beloved family and friends. And I can meet my long time no see's classmates there. I am sure a gathering will take place. It's time to meet up and hang up after the working life we have been through for the year.

The next objective is my masters. I am hoping that this can take place this year as I am not as young as everyone else surrounding me anymore. I do not have such long time to wait for another chance to realize my dream. So, I just hope that I can study my choice of course, Maths for masters. The results will be coming out soon and with this, another part of my salary will be gone. What to do? This is something good for us and I am gonna do so with my determination all along as well with the support given by my family and friends. I am willing to sacrifice my time and money for this course. Wish me all the best guys and gals.

And now, to the last objective of the year, which is to travel to at least one or two foreign country within this year. I am aiming for China during this year end holiday, together with a few of my best friends. Maybe I will be travelling to Thailand as well with my family after coming back from China. No matter what, I am gonna make full use of my year end holiday. They say we work so hard for the year is to have a nice and relaxing time during year end. So, holiday is the best choice. Anyway, can't wait for this to happen. All in all, I can say that all my objectives are locked in, Just left to be carried out by me! See ya all soon in my next post to come.^^

5.5 Years With My Dearest IPG Besties!

Without realizing, my 5.5 years with IPG has really really really come to an end. I have achieved what I aimed for. I have finished what I was supposed to finish. It has reach the ending point and there is no way for us to turn back time and repeat what we wish we had done before this. I still remember when I first came to KK, I felt like finishing the course as soon as possible. I just can't wait to get it all done and go back to where I belong.

Honestly, I didn't really like the place and also didn't manage to get along well with the people there. That was in the first semester. The feeling of going back home was ever strong as time pass by. I just can't wait to go home as soon as the school holiday arrive. I feel like I was being put in a cage whenever I stay there. But then, something change as time pass by. I have started to form a bond between my beloved classmates, friends in IPG, churches friends, travelling companions, Chelsea supporters group and etc. 

Anyway, today I would like to highlight my closest friends in this 5.5 years of studies in IPG. We are known by the name of JOJ! 11 members one heart, one objective which is to be able to be compliment to each other. They are Icha, Kinah, Pajan, Ichum, July, Wandi, Juing, Afiq, Lv, Marsi and me myself. We have went through a lot all these years. All the ups and downs. We even fought and quarrel with each other before this. But in the end, we make up after all. We are one family. 

All those trips to Kundasang, Kudat, Kota Belud, Tawau and dinner after dinner are all gonna be our sweetest memories from now on. We all know that time can never return to how it used to be. What we can do is just reminisce what we have done through all the pictures taken. We can think back all the happiness and sadness all those while. We are all humans and have feelings towards each others. I cannot deny that there are some which indeed change me a lot along the way. They gave me advice and have always been great listeners.

I have been thinking back of the things and events we have gone through all these while for the past few weeks. For the first time in my life, I feel like not going back to my hometown as soon as the exams ended. And I knew that it was the right choice. I went for the final trip with my dearest friends which will always remain as my sweetest memories in my life. We also send our friends to the airport when they finally decided to go back to their hometown and this time they don't need to buy a return ticket back to KK. 

I admit that I am a very emotional person and yeah, I cried for my friends. I will miss their presence in their and I may never have the chance to meet them anymore after this. Who knows. Weep after weep and in the end, it's my turn to go back today. I thought I could hold onto myself but in the end I gave in after all. My friends just meant a lot to me and I love every single one of them! Thanks to all of my JOJ friends for your moments and time we spend together. Sorry if I have made you all angry and if there are some wrongdoings of mine which hurt you all. I hope that we can meet again next time. More posts to come after this! Have a nice day people!^^

10 Days Encounting. Oh Dear Friends!

Now we are down to the final 10 days. First paper of the semester is done and dusted. Nothing can be done to change the fact that I didn't do so well in it. Nonetheless, I still feel quite positive in it! Thanks God for that! 2 more papers to strive before we finish this final exam of degree life! I just hope that I can have the feel and encouragement to study now. It just feel so weird when I just think of how fast time can be when everything is about to come to an end. 

Before it ends, I still have an action research book to rush for. Finally receive some positive comments from my lecturer today. I just need to show him for one last time before I print the real thing! 3 sets of action research book, the work for 5.5 years. Without it, I will never be able to graduate. And it's something which I make, did everything myself. Thanks God again for guiding me all along the way.

After everything come to the full stop in this institute, I need to think of when I am actually gonna go back to my hometown. The thing is I have no idea so far when n how am I actually gonna pack so many things of mine back to my hometown. So many memories created here. I can't bring every single one of them back. I need to pick and choose. Gonna start packing soon. Time flies like swift wind.

I still remember how I wish to be back at home the first thing holiday came. I would usually be the first one reporting to the airport and be so anxious of going back home the day before. One fact, I have Never miss a holiday back at home. I just wanna be back home and be the happiest guy on earth when I reach home!

But now, everything has gone so different. I actually doesn't have that anxious feeling of going back though I know holiday is reaching near me. Maybe this is the last time I will be here. Who knows. God has His plans for every single one of us. I do miss my family members a lot but now I just wanna spend more time with my friends here. When are we gonna spend time as 21 members of maths maniac again? No one knows that answer for sure.

All in all, what I want to say is appreciate every single one of your friends you have now. The next time you see him or her may be after 10 or 20 years later. With the family members of them along them. Spend more time with them, reminisce every happy or sad moment. Celebrate the farewell, take more pictures! We all know Who's important for us. Say what you wanna say and Never regret when everything is too little too late. Well, 10 more days dear friends!

What's Done, Is Done!

People keep on asking, we keep on denying. People do this, we do that. Why do we keep on avoiding the truths all the time? Why must there be so many hypocrite surrounding us all? These are some questions for us to ponder for some moment today. We have chances to do the right thing yet we gave up that chance and instead did something else which is not as good. Weird or not, you tell me!

I know I am not perfect and I will never be one perfect person. No one is perfect in this world other than the high above God of ours. Who can say no to that? I do make mistake and all I wanted is just a chance to say sorry. I wish I can make it up to you before it's really too little too late. But will you ever respond to my apology? Do I deserve a second chance, you will judge.

Standing where I am today doesn't mean that I must be proud all the time. There are always time for us to look back and reflect what has been done all along the years. The road we chose, the places we have been and the choices we have made which brought us all here today. Who to blame if the happiness is not enough for all of us? Who to find in telling our stories? Deep down in our heart, we know the answer! Never say No!

I am a realistic person and surely I know I cannot turn back time. Once hurt is caused, the pain shall always remain there. Even if you say a thousand times sorry also mean no point at all. So if you really want to remain suffering and doesn't wanna let go of it, I can Never stop you. You have made your choice, so I shall respect your choice. I can only say all the best for your future life from afar. May God bless you all the time and I wonder if we will ever say Hi to each other next time when we meet on the street!

The Remaining Time For Allen!

Well... so now we are into the month of November! The final two months of the year 2014, the year which I will graduate for this teaching institute! Been through a lot lately to reach here. So now roughly we have around 15 more days to go before everything here become memories for the rest of our life. We can Never turn back time as we moves on in our life. 

We are who we are and others shall always remain as others to us. For this final semester here, a lot has been done till this moment where I am left with an action research book to bind and 3 exam papers to cover. Done my internship, cover all the assignments, presented my action research and most lately done with my spp interview. I am really grateful to God that all of them have been gone through marvelously. So far so good and I am really happy that they are all over. 

However, now I have a really weird feeling deep inside my heart. I am scare of reaching the end that early. I am not sure if I am prepare to be a real teacher and teach my students in the real school. Can I really do it? And I am really gonna miss my best friends I have here in KK. I have a feeling I will cry so hard on the day I fly away from here for good. Not a good feeling and there will surely be a lot of people, things, food and etc which I am gonna miss here. 

Indeed, I have known a lot people here for all these years. However, like what my friends have said the other day, there are many level of friends. Let me put it like this, I have a lot of friends but some will always just be acquaintance, some are my normal friends or shall i say classmates, some are my best friends and some are my most trusted and most important friends. I care for every single of my friends out there and will be deeply hurt too in case my friends got hurt too. So, please never hurt my friends.

Anyway, with this I would like to sincerely apologize to all of you out there who has been hurt by me directly of indirectly. I can only say that I am really sorry for what I have done all these years and if there's chance, I shall treat you to a meal or two to make it up to you. Not much time left for all of us here. In another 2 weeks time, it's the time to say bye bye to everybody. Never leave a place with regret as life is never too long to live in regrets!
