syawal 2005
Tuesday, November 15, 2005
wow..time sure flies...holidays are here. Ramadhan was here but has passed. Syawal is going off soon. Had a nice Ramadhan though feeling regretful that i didn't go for terawih as often.But my outing with 4h and fadilah 2 geylang to break fast was a memorable one. Sure enjoyed myself playing fire crackers and hearing my dear students, Khairul and Q sing. It was a fire cracking playing cum singing practice session for Khairul who made us proud the day after by becoming Dunman's 2nd idol. it was fun planning for the 'flower presentation' stuff n all. n it warmed my heart to see how united the class has become. :)
A week ago, around 34 of them came over for hari raya visiting. Yup i was definitely overwhelmed and the hour before they arrived, i can assure u, i was performing even better than iron chefs u see on tv as i fought with time to serve them their pots of mee and nuggets. hehe. by the tym they arrived, i wus looking half dead and exhausted. n unfortunately this year, due to my poor economic state, duit raya had to be reduced to 1/3 of the previous years. hehe...so those of you planning to serbu my house with hope of adding a significant amount to your collection raya, you may want to consider diverting your route to more profitable areas. hehe :P
but i have to say, i was pleased looking at how well my students behaved and how some of the guys automatically asked to tumpang solat asar. i think they are part of the dwindling community of guys who take prayers seriously. kudos to their parents. i think they are doing a good job parenting. Care to go into some mutual contract to betroth one of your younger sons to adina? hehe..kidding.. :P

the complete family-to-be, insyaallah.
Anyway, sempena raya and to sum up 2005, i have some messages for...
my dear 4h: I've had an enjoyable journey with your class. As I taught you, I learned from u all too. You've filled my year with many heart-warming moments; moments which have permanently coloured my teaching life. I do wish to extend my forgiveness for things which i have said and done which could have inncurred your anger.Sometimes in our anger or frustration, we may say things that we don't mean.Teachers are humans too afterall. but rest assured,what i gave 2 the class came from the heart withe the best of intentions.Regardless of whether i follow u up or not, i hope u'll make me proud with your o lvl results. I have my eye on you guys. ;)
