Sports....

2011-07-24T18:30:00.000+08:00

I still wonder sometimes how come I grew so fat... I guess the answer is simple.. LAZY. I enjoy doing sports but not passionate enough to overcome my laziness sometimes...

Anyway, now that I am in my last 1 month break before I start work... I actually managed to be fruitful in being active in sports... 2 weeks back in home town, I have managed to have 3 days a week jogging in the park, 2 times a week swimming... I actually learned the free style and breaststroke on my first lesson, the swimming lesson is not consistent..... FOC so depends on the trainers schedule but I do go to the public pool to practice on my own once a week, and lately I have been joining the church youths on Sunday, playing badminton... it was fun, hanging out with the young people... :)

Let's lose more weight!!!

Taking the next steps in life. ^ ^

I have received my replies from both companies that I applied. I thank God that the result of the replies this time is an easy decision for me. No need to fuss and think over and over on which sides should I join. The answer is just crystal clear. The final answer was the R.E.A.L Education Company.

This time it is confirmed that I will be joining this company teaching at Seri Cahaya International School. No more change of plans or still considering. I am glad that I am secure with this job, I understand how hard it is to get a proper job these days.

My journey into entering this school was great. I had my first interview with one of the director of the company. A great man of God, he taught me about physic more than what my science teacher taught me during my schooling days. Got new insights through this interview.

Well, was embarrassed on a little incident, how could I have forgotten what multiple intelligent is? And to actually explain the wrong concept? Man..... I should have paid more attention in Dr. Julianna class, I remember memorizing the multiple intelligent for the final test, but I just couldn't remember what the concept was...

I am VERY grateful to be accepted and to actually hear about how the company was started, to understand the vision of the founders of the company really made me excited to start my career at Seri Cahaya. The contract have been sign... all is left now is to wait for the first day of work, which is on 23rd August 2011.

I am sure great experiences are awaiting for me in this next stage of life. I will always remember what Dr. AR Bernard said " We travel in levels and arrive in stages". I am so ready for this stage and will continue to move on in this level to reach in the next few stages in style!

Teach For Malaysia.

2011-07-10T16:12:00.000+08:00

Finally! I am happy with the layout of my blog...

Anyway, in this post I am going to share about a organization called Teach For Malaysia (TFM) that I came to know about 5 months ago. If you are a teacher or maybe just someone who has the passion to bring change in the Malaysian education and society then Teach For Malaysia is just the right organization for you to be a part of. More information on Teach For Malaysia can be found on www.teachformalaysia.org.

I think that TFM gives a great opportunities to their fellows to be a part of Malaysia education and at the same time impacting the lives of students and bring better quality education in schools. TFM aims to end education inequity in Malaysia and believes that one day all children in Malaysia will have the opportunity to attain excellent education.

I am sure that being a part of TFM will indeed not only change the lives of students but also the lives of fellows that are involved.

So, this is a calling to all Malaysian who wants to see a change in our nation, change starts with you!

2011-05-09T09:15:00.002+08:00

Wow!

How time flies. Just a blink of an eye I have finished up half of my holiday in Labuan. Soon I will be taking another trip back to KL again. This time back I will be starting up a new page of my life. Teaching of course. New surrounding, new people, new excitement.

I remember asking my mum this question a few days after arriving back to Labuan, "What is next?". Well, when I was in primary school my next was to enter into a better secondary school, when I was in secondary school my next was to continue my studies into a higher education institute. Then it was to get a job so that I can help out in my family and to support myself. Okay... for now all these things are already tick in my list. So what is next?

Chapter 7 Hari Raya Celebration
On the 26 of September (Saturday). We had to return back to school for LDP (Latihan Dalam Perkhidmatan) and Hari Raya celebration. Me and Jessica was pun into the food management team. We started organizing the food arrangement at 7.30am. Sad to say, we weren't able to attend LDP because the food arrangement took super long. I was amazed at home much work it took just to arrange the food and plates. We finally finish arranging everything at 12.20pm, just in time before LDP ends and the teacher arrive to celebrated raya. The food was great. I enjoyed the Bakso, the meat balls were nice. The grilled lame was also awesome!!! It was finished in just a blink of an eye. This proof how nice it was... (think back of the food, I am now super hungry). We later on had an short discussing with our mentor on her observation on our teaching. Then we headed back home... me rushing back to be at church on time... hahahha... what a memory...

Chapter 8 - Observation with 1 Budi

Hahah... I remember my 2nd observation was with 1 Budi. Girls you all ready helped me a lot. Thank you so much! It was a reading class. Students were required to read a passage in the newspaper and present their finding in class. Man! you know what was running in my mind at the time..... "Anna! you are dead! The class is super quiet! Your class is boring!" all these negative comments were circling and flying around my head. I was sure that I'm going to bad comments for my second observation. Guess what!!!! My supervisor loves my class! She likes the responses given by the class!!! 1 Budi! You made my world that day!!! I was happy to receive good and great comments. In fact, she mention that she likes 1 Budi! Bravo girls! Good job! I really miss entering your class. T.T

Chapter 9 - Observation with 2 Cita
I really can't thank my students enough! 2 Cita was observe twice by Puan Rahmah on observation 1 and literature observation. I was nervous with my observation as always, but thanks 2 Cita for your support and active responses. I love the energy that you guys show in class with or without observation from my supervisor or mentor. You all really allowed me to enjoy my teaching. I always have fun when I enter your class. Siti Fatimah; you never fail to bring a smile to my face with your lame jokes and Nik always comes to the rescue with the right answers when the whole class is lost. hahahah.... Zuliana always with her blur face but in fact she knows a lot a lot of information that is shared in BM with her friends. Ira and Sarah always sticking with each other like the chopstick sisters of 2 Cita..... lol.... I really miss you all!!!! <3 <3 <3

To be continue......

Chapter 4 - Staff room

In the staff room, me and Jess was directed to sit at the far left end corner of the room. Next to me was Miss Shahirah... she teaches Bahasa Melayu..... I remember the first time I saw her... this is what she said " Hi! Guru practical? dari U mana? Ajar subjek apa?" I was... well a bit numb shock... cause I didn't expect to be asked so many question in a matter of seconds.... and yes... I have not been practicing my Bahasa Melayu for a very x 10 long time.... meaning my BM dah karat!!

She is a very nice teacher, always giving advise to students no matter the students likes it or not... hahahah.... very alert and sharp... she knows everything that is happening in school especially on facebook!!! My experience with her was to teach her how to use blogspot and picasa to edit photos... to bad Jess and I was busy and couldn't really teach her much.... I had fun sitting next to her... Learned a lot of Malay songs too!! :)

Chapter 5 - Readers Theater

I did Readers theater with 1 Budi. (Readers Theater is a dramatic presentation of a written work in a script form). The readers theaters that was presented by 1 Budi was The Hungry Caterpillar, The gifts of Wali Dad, The Enormous Nose, Turkey Trotten and The Magic Carpet. I had fun watching 1 Budi performing.... The smiles on their faces when they perform shows that they enjoyed the activity. Come to think of it, I miss hearing their laughter as I teach in class and the way they speak English... how they would miss use words that they learn and I would correct them.... When they mix English and Malay in a sentence... miss it.. really miss it... Yes, their English might not be perfect but you know what... that is the process of learning... people make mistakes and learn from it... take your mistake and make it your stepping stone and NOT your stumbling block......

Hahhaha... The Hungry Caterpillar... was requested by me to be perform on English Week.... I still remember the look on the groups face... Farhana! You were literally bagging me so that you don't need to perform on stage.... and guess who was one of the volunteer who joined coral speaking during my last week in SMK Puteri Wilayah. YOU! Yes you Farhana!! I was super happy to see you in coral speaking practice on Monday (27.09.10). That was a great step! Good decision! Keep up the good job!!!

Remember girls! Be active in schools activities! Do not be afraid of failure... school is where you learn... school provides a good environment for you to try new things.... when a mistakes is done.... forgiveness comes easily because everyone in school is learning.... The real world will not be so easy on you..... so gain experience in school... learn to be a leader, learn skills, and most important enjoy every lessons and activities your in... Having fun is a decision you make...

Girls still remember how to play this??

Chapter 6 - Phantom of the Opera (Comic style)

Coming to think of it.... I think I enjoyed teaching Literature more than English. English is more rigid, Literature allows creativity to flow more.... and one of the way in class where I stirred 2 Cita's creative was to ask them to draw a comic version of Phantom of the Opera (Op-prah; not O-pe-rah) hahaha.... This was one of the major projects I did with 2 Cita... sad to say... We didn't managed to compile it into a book... well... lets just say some parts where not past up... but my fav was Jannah's and Hamizah's comic illustration of Phantom of the Opera... yes, I know they cut and paste... but it is nicely done... the rest of the groups also did very well.... thumbs up to all the group and thumbs down to those who didn't pass up... boo!

I am quite impressed that you girls managed to come up with the drawings.... Fadia"s group! Good job for being the first to pass up... a pat on the back for you... :) Hopefully through this comic activity... you all now know the events that happen in each chapter better... :)

Teaching practical Part 1

2010-10-05T17:43:00.000+08:00

Phew! Just a blink of an eye and my teaching practice for 3 months at SMK Puteri Wilayah is over! Thank God I survived this challenge..... Now when my students see me... they would say "Speak English!" hhahah.....

Chapter 1 - First step in SMK Puteri Wilayah

I still remember the first time I arrived at Kg Baru with my teaching partner Miss Jessica Yim Sau Theng ( Jess! You are an awesome partner... if ever I have the chance to select another partner I will surely pick you again! you have indeed been a great friend to go through the thick and thin in life!).

Okay let's continue.... so we arrived at Kg Baru and guess what!! We were so lost.... Well, all we had to guide us to the school was the map we printed out from Google map.... ahhaha...at last after walking blindly and in faith... Ta da!!! We found the school!!! Hooray!!!!

The first thing that I was impressed with the school was with the cleanliness and the landscape of the school! It was beautiful! Too bad after enjoying the beauty of the school that I realized the school was having it's holiday... so we had to come the next day... Haiz.....

The next day, we arrive at school and met Puan Radiah (The principle), we were then introduced to the Penyelia Petang (afternoon class coordinator) Puan Norhayati. Puan Norhayati sorted out our classes timetable for us and we chat for a while asking questions and what was expected for us in the school. After that brief meeting we headed home and got ready for class on Monday..... jeng! jeng! jeng!

Chapter 2 - Observation on 1 Budi

On Monday (12.07.10) I had my first observation with my form 1 class. Oh ya! btw, SMK Puteri Wilayah is an all girls school. Okay! So I followed Miss Nurizan to class.... When I got into class... ahhaha well... I can feel that all 31 pairs of eyes was scanning me from the top of my hair to the end of my toes.... OMG!!! I just smiled but I feel nervous inside and at the same time excited to see all these new faces that are going to be a part of my life for the next three months...... after the students greeted me, I sat at the right hand corner of the class room where the reading corner was.... observing how Miss Nurizan control the class and trying to get the style of study and behavior of the students.... Too bad... I didn't get to observe much... class was quiet... too quiet for me in fact... cause I like noisy noisy noisy class!!!! I had to leave early to observe Puan Jasmeet class... so I went off during the second period of the class.... inside me... I was still puzzle and still trying to figure out how are 1 Budi girls... are they outspoken? timid? noisy? creative? do they like me? will they listen to me??? all these questions were circling my head like planets circling the sun..... My observation in 2 Jaya was also the same respond...

Chapter 3 - First class with 2 Cita

2 Cita!!!! Now... my first experience with this class was totally opposite from 1 Budi (ya... 1 Budi become the ideal class that I liked in the end... active and NOISY!!! Hooray for noise...) Back to 2 Cita... My first class with them was on Wednesday (14.07.10).... it was curriculum day... so they were all in their uniforms... so I have some police in my class... red cross... youth cadet ... etc... awesome right?? What a variety... So I entered class... well... they have not meet me before and didn't know that I will be teaching them... so when I enter... all was looking at me surprise... Then the first person to speak....is Iwana... she said " Teacher, ajar kami Inggeris ye?" My reply was "Hmmm... speak English".... Iwana kept quiet and continue on her conversation with her friends.... My first lesson with 2 Cita was on recycling... at the end of the class they were required to produce some bookmark.... it was pretty the book marks that they made... too bad I didn't take pictures of the cute bookmarks.....

My holiday this time comes with extra baggage because my parents flew to USA to have their honeymoon...hahaha.... ya it is tiring... but I learned a lot.... now I know it is not easy to run a household and I really appreciate my parents even more now.... they never give up in bring me up no matter how naughty I was.... :) Thanks daddy and mummy Love you both....

Some of the things that I did during the holidays

Hari Raya!!!
Met up with some of my ex-class/school mates and we went house visitation. It was fun being able to meet them again... on the way and while visiting another ex-school mate's... well, we bump into more ex-school/classmate. Yay for coincidence! One of my friend is now a reporter for Daily News... cool right... I know the newspaper might not be famous... but it is still awesome.... most of the raya pictures are taken by her. Then there is one that is going to be a pilot soon... we were joking about leaving his flight if ever we know that he is driving the plane....hahahha..... and Herdawati; Woot! visited her house the second last... her hubby's cooking was awesome... the soto was great ...too bad only managed to eat some cause too full due to eating at Farid's house too much..... here are the pictures.....

The first house was Susilawati's house on 1st day of Raya. No pictures was available.... sorry guys!

The second day of Raya, we went first to Farid's house...

The second house was Irwin's house.... there we bumped into Peter and the gang.... hehehe

Third house is Herdawati's house... Khatijah has not uploaded the soto photo.... hmmm.... the soto really tasted great... if any of you happen to drop by Labuan... her soto is a must try.....

Lastly, Umi's house....

Lepak Session with my siblings!!!

During first day of raya.... the mall was almost empty.... maklumlah Hari Raya! So I lepak with my sisters and brother by taking some pictures and later for an ice - kacang session at Medan Selera.

Enjoying Nature!!!

One of the things that I must do when I return to Labuan is to go to the beach. This time I went to watch the sunrise... but sadly it was a cloudy day... and the sunrise could only be seen from far because the part of the beach that is nearer to the sunrise is located in the army base.... For sunrise.... I only managed to watch the sunset from my house view... but I love the blue sky.... miss the blue once I landed in KL today....

I think that is about all my holiday is... no pictures of my cooking this time... didn't have time to prepare anything special because was busy with my parents small humble stall.... I did enjoyed myself in fact looking back at the pictures I too!!!

A nice cup of tea

2010-09-12T07:29:00.002+08:00

Was stumbling, came across a love message called a nice cup of tea... it was so sweet... just want to share with everyone... Enjoy! ~ Anna aka Bell Bell

i want warm summer nights, to lie in a hammock, staring at the stars, telling you stories. i want to dip my toes in the water, to dangle my feet off the edge of the dock and sit leaning forward, looking at you, laughing. to huddle around a fire on the beach, salt water drying into my hair, reading from that book you always carry. i want to sit next to you on a log and sleep next to you in a tent. i want to wake up early and make pancakes over a fire, to wash the dishes in the river

while we swim. to build sandcastles and castles-in-the-air. i want to drive home with my bare feet on the dashboard, the windows down, my hair whipped in every direction from the wind rushing through open windows. i want to hear your voice shouting the lyrics to the songs on the radio that you don’t know the words to. i want to be able to look at you and smile and not say a word. to have adventures and passion and to truly live. to truly love.

Rescue Me

2010-09-10T23:09:00.001+08:00

When I'm alone the world is such a different place
Sometimes its hard to keep the smile upon my face
It seems like I try so hard and still I let you down
Its taken so long but now theres one thing that Ive found
When everything starts crashing down
When all I know falls to the ground
When darkness comes and I can't see
You're always there to rescue me

Just when I think that I've got it figured out
You open my eyes and let me see that there no doubt
But You've got it all within the power of Your hand
It seems like the more I know the less I understand

When everyting starts crashing down
When all I know falls to the ground
When darkness comes and I can't see
You're always there to rescue me
When all my strength has turned to fear
When I wonder if you're near
When I don't know how to break free
You're always there to rescue me

I wonder if I'll make it through this darkest night
I need to know Your strength in me gonna win this fight
Im reaching out won't You take my hand show me to the light
I know You're by my side

It seems like I try so hard and still I let you down
Its taken so long but now theres one thing that I've found

When everything starts crashing down
When all I know falls to the ground
When darkness comes and I can't see
You're always there to rescue me
When all my strength has turned to fear
When I wonder if You're near
When I dont know how to break free
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me

I was listening back to some albums produced by Planetshakers during my teenage years. As I was listening to one of the album this song was being play. I have always love this song, not because of the melody or the rhythm but it is because of the lyric.

The lyrics of this song really encourage me during my sad and disappointed moments in my life. It really speaks of my life as sometimes in life I really feels that it is just super super hard to keep the smile upon my face when things are not going my way and I'm just having a bad day or when all my hard work are just crashing down(I think most of us can relate to this).

Back in my teenage days I would plugged my mp3 into my ear and listen to Planetshakers songs. "Rescue me" would never fail to encourage me each time it was being play. I'm always reminded that everything will be fine because I have Jesus on my side and He has said that He has a wonderful plan for me even before the day I was born.

Today, before this song is being played, I was thinking about the road I'm walking in life now. It is the right one? Is it according to God plan for me? What am I going to be in the future? Thinking about the people I'm facing now and will be facing soon or later in life, it was not until this song was played that I suddenly realize that I'm the child of God and He has promise that in all things He will work for the good of those who love Him. I should not be a worrier, instead I should have faith and believe.

I 'm assure that no matter what happen now or in the future it will always turn out for my good and if ever I'm in trouble. He is always there to rescue me. :)

Mission cooking Ambuyat

2010-09-09T22:56:00.000+08:00

Decided to make ambuyat for dinner tonight. Ambuyat is sagu powder mix with hot water. It looks sticky and is tasteless. It is usually dip into sauce before being consume.A dish that is famous among the Kadazan tribe in Sabah.

Since I have been at KL for 6 months and I'm finally back home... I decided to have ambuyat, something that I miss having. I have been eating ambuyat ever since I was a small girl but I have never tried cooking one before, I have only watch my dad doing it.

But, my dad is not at home this time to do it. So I was thinking to myself "What the hack, just boil water and pour into the sagu powder... how hard can it get?" So while the curry is being cook, I got a pot and boil water... while in a different bowl I pour half packet of the sagu. Once the water in the pot begin to boil... I pour the water into the sagu bowl and started stirring.... after 2 minutes.... the mixture was still watery... Hmmm... maybe too much water I thought... so I put more sagu powder in.... eh? still the same.....

Then my sister came by.... oi! what ca doing? she said... cooking sagu loh... I answered. Why your sagu like that wan... look like milk she said.... dun know I replied. My sis dip her finger in.... apalah you! The water not hot enough she said... but it was boiling when I pour in I said... got smoke or not the water when you pour in she asked... Nope I answer... then cannot loh she said... how I asked...

After thinking a few minutes... my sister got the idea of boiling the mixture in the pot to get it hot enough.... can or not I asked and started laughing thinking of the idea.... so we pour the mixture in... after a while the mixture started to get sticky.... ANNA, faster can liao she shouted... wait I put salt for the curry first I reply... faster faster she said.... as I started to stir....the mixture got sticky than before.... but I realized that the pot was too small.... so I tried to get half of it out... but it was hard to remove it out.... then I started to laugh and laugh and laugh while my sister got panic seeing the situation of the ambuyat in the pot.... Stop laughing she said. but I can't stop laughing.... I just keep on laughing....

After laughing for 10 minutes, I decided to add water into the pot to ensure that the sagu was fully cook...cause it was half uncook... but it didn't work.... in the end we decided to throw it away and eat rice instead. While cooking the rice I started to laugh again.... my sister then mention... why are you laughing since just now... it must have been the gas..... Nolah I reply... it is funny thinking of the way we cook the sagu.... usually daddy just pour and stir and Ta-Da! Never thought that it is that hard....

But I don't think it is funny she said..... I just keep on laughing.... Your crazy she said.... I think your KL friends must think that your crazy also sometimes she added on.... I just laugh.....hahahhaha.....

We had a great dinner. No ambuyat....lol... but ice cream for dessert instead.

Now I know how to make ambuyat... use really really really really hot water... no wonder I always see big bubbles and smoke from the water my daddy use to make ambuyat...hahha....

It was a good thing I tried it here before I cook it for my house mate after the holidays... it not disaster at Lot.61... but it was a great memory I created with my sis tonight.....lol....am still smiling and giggling to myself thinking of what happen just now....wakakkakakak

Independence Day Holiday!

2010-09-01T00:31:00.000+08:00

Happy independence day!

Went out with my bro today, did a bit of purchasing for my parents business. I'm happy that I'm able to bless them in a small area of their business.

So we went around looking at products while catching up with each other lives. Laughing at the jokes he make and having serious discussion about this in life.

He came over to my house to avoid the rain. We had 2 hours chatting in front of my lappy, looking at videos in youtube and commenting on the videos we watched together. We then had capati together with the daal prepare by my house mate Jess Yim.... Jess! My bro said your cooking was gloriously good!!!

After he went home, I went on to prepare a dish for dinner. Was a bit emo by then... maybe I miss talking to him.... then again "what we feed will grow and what we starve will die". So, after a few more minutes of emoing... I snap out of it and continue with my cheerful mood.

For dinner, my housemates and I had pot luck.... lol... not really.... just everyone cook a dish each... Alan ended up cooking 3 dish cause the Hivana that I prepared made Li Chin even hungrier.... ahhaha..... We had fun fellowshipping with each other. Didi came over for a while.... and OMG she really did a good job of keeping the atmosphere on the dining table excited.

Before Didi left, Ken arrived just in time to join for the second wave of dinner....hahaha.... So, the second wave of dinner went on... but quieter this time.... hahaha..... Thanks to our Lot.61 official DBKL we managed to finish most of the dishes. Then I went on and chill in the kitchen with a glass of dessert until and freaking lipas came by my chair. Well, I'm not the type that would scream at the top of my lungs when I meet creatures that I'm afraid of; so I just slowly move away... but.... hahah let's not continue...

So everyone was doing their own things... those that were sleepy went to bed.... those that have not shower... took their shower and surprisingly, our kitchen had an additional kitchen helper tonight. He helped with the dishes and tided up the kitchen. Thanks Ken! :)

So now, here I am procrastinating from doing my lesson plan, but I'm believing for a great day tomorrow! and the best is yet to come this weekend... why... cause...hmmm...ermmm... it is my...hahahha.... okay... I'm going HOME!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!! I miss Labuan!!! SO SO SO MUCH! I heard that there are now ferry traveling from Labuan to Brunei (2 hours journey). Yippy!!!!

3 more days to walk through before till the holidays arrive!

Observation report which turn into something else...

2010-08-30T09:54:00.000+08:00

Morning world!

The date today is 30th of August 2010 and I will be having my 2nd observation with Puan Rahmah in 1 Budi class.

Life have been different this semester. I have moved out of college resulting in lesser activities to be commit to but I'm doing my practical semester resulting in bigger challenges that I need to overcome and walk through.

Sometimes, I feel like I have taken the wrong road, maybe I have accepted the wrong course, maybe I should have just entered into Multimedia College to do computer science in 2005 instead of studying form 6 or maybe I should have accepted the offer to UTP (University Technology Petronas) to do Business Technology Management in 2007 and not UM.

If I have only taken any of this turning or junction during my life time, I will be experiencing a totally different environment. I was super happy with UTP when I had my interview there, I love the landscape, the building design, the library was beautiful and since it is located a distance away from the nearest town area the surrounding was mostly green, quiet and peaceful. I really consider entering into UTP.

Anyway, coming to look at my life now... it could have been any better.... no matter which choice I made, I am 100% sure I did the right things even though sometimes I do wonder.... Looking at my current situation, yes! I do have problems to look into and things to do and a busy schedule but life couldn't have been better....

1 thing that I really thank God for after my family are...

Friends!
You guys are are next after my family, you all colour my life, give me advise, do funny, crazy, weird (most of the time is me) things together. The outings we had Penang, Malacaa, Singapore, Malayisa Gold Coast are events that I'll always cherish. Times when we would tease and bully each other..... Lolx..... Yes, we do misunderstood each other sometimes, argue but relationship without conflicts will never grow strong as conflicts helps us know each other better... I love you all... E12, housemates, coursemates, etc...

Ooppsss....
time to go...
need to get ready for school and today's observation....
do pray for me!

Hugs and kisses!
