Malaysian Teachers = Jack of All Trades

I am becoming sick of being a teacher in Malaysia. Teachers in Malaysia are not treated like teachers in the UK, for example. Teachers there are so much respected and being a teacher there means you have a really good professional job. But, here in Malaysia....

Let's take today newspaper headline: Cegah Murid Gemuk (Prevent students to becoming fat). In the news, it is reported like this:

Beliau berkata, turut dipersetujui pada mesyuarat itu ialah mengambil data berat dan ketinggian pelajar untuk dimuatkan dalam buku rekod masing-masing sebagai panduan kepada ibu bapa bagi memantau pertumbuhan anak-anak mereka.

“Tugas berkenaan akan dilakukan guru darjah dan segala maklumat akan dicatatkan pada setiap penggal persekolahan. Dari situ ibu bapa boleh melihat keadaan anak-anak sama ada beratnya ideal dengan ketinggian berdasarkan umur mereka. Turut dicatatkan cadangan kepada ibu bapa akan langkah-langkah yang perlu dilakukan untuk mengurangkan obesiti pelajar,” katanya.

What the heck? Why on earth they just simply decide that teachers are the 'lucky' ones to weigh and measure the kids? Why didn't they ask us, the teachers first before they make the decision? Do they think we come to school and do nothing? Well, I do remember being weighed and measured when I was in primary school 18 years ago. But, those days, I don't think teachers were burdened with so much work as nowadays. The new millennium teachers have to deal a lot of 'necessary' tasks such as buku adab belajar, kad 001, SMM, as well as dealing with millennium kids' behaviours. For goodness sake, we also have to teach than 50 pupils a day, plus all the marking chores etc etc, they still think we have time to calculate BMI. I don't even know my own BMI, because I don't even know the formula to get BMI.

Giving the kids' BMI data to their parents won't solve the obesity problem if the parents do not even care about it. What if the parents don't even know what the numbers really mean? Then, we, teachers, after being a mathematician, we have to be dieticians and explain to those ignorant parents.

I am so pissed off at those Datuks and ministers and Drs. for making such a lame decision. They may have the titles before their names, but they have proved to us that they don't have good brains. People have eaten their first food at home, not at school. Thus, home is the right place to start cultivating young children the healthy eating habit, not at school. Those hands that feed the child should teach the child what to feed himself.

Be My Own Boss!

I have been thinking recently about whether to pursue Masters or start my own business. But now, I have made up my mind. I want to start my own business, pursuing my true dream.

Sebab utama yang menyebabkan saya buat pilihan ni adalah saya mahu kepuasan diri tanpa ada tekanan orang atasan. Yelah, kalau ada Masters and PhD pun still jd orang bawahan. Nak jadi bos, mau tunggu dah tua, baru dapat merasa pangkat tinggi since Malaysia sangat mementingkan seniority dalam perkhidmatan, as well as 'kipas mengipas' (realiti kt sekolah, kt jabatan lain xtau la cmne). Lagipun, saya ni memang jenis degil sikit, alamatnya lagi lambat la kot nak naik pangkat, hahaha xD Lagi-lagi kalau kerja dengan GB dan PK-PK yang emo dan xberapa cekap buat kerja dan asyik suruh orang lain buat kerja dia.

I know my current profession is a very noble one: building a future generation. But the thing is, I am no longer have that much passion to stay and do the same thing for another 30 years. Plus, with the political influence interference in our education system (oh, plus the school politic also!), I rather step down; do the thing I most passionate about and have a hell of good times with my family with freedom. No more I have to think about calling in for MC, CRK etc if I can't come in. No more feeling guilty for thinking of the effects of my absence to school (e.g. jaga seorang anak yang sakit, or tak mengajar 70 - 90 pupils). Earn more money too! ;p

However, this will only be a reality after I have completed my contract. 3 more exciting years.

For you, my son.

This songs says everything that I want to say to you.

You will always be my baby, no matter how old you will be.

Sometimes I wonder

How I'd ever make it through,

Through this world without having you

I just wouldn't have a clue

'Cause sometimes it seems

Like this world's closing in on me,

And there's no way of breaking free

And then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up

I wanna give in,

I wanna quit the fight

And then I see you, baby

And everything's alright,

everything's alright

When I see you smile

I can face the world, oh oh,

you know I can do anything

When I see you smile

I see a ray of light, oh oh,

I see it shining right through the rain

When I see you smile

Oh yeah, baby when I see you smile at me

Baby there's nothing in this world

that could ever do

What a touch of your hand can do

It's like nothing that I ever knew

And when the rain is falling

I don't feel it,

'cause you're here with me now

And one look at you baby

Is all I'll ever need,

you're all I'll ever need

Sometimes I wanna give up

I wanna give in,

I wanna quit the fight

And then I see you baby

And everything's alright,

everything's alright

My Carrot Cake

I am obses with this super flexible fruit/veggie. It is flexible because it can be made into different types of food: juice, main dish (buat sayur tumis, makan ngan nasi) and dessert.

I think no other fruits can beat carrots.

I love carrot cake. To buy them from bakery...it is quite expensive, plus I don't trust the taste - too much additional stuffs (raisins etc). So better bake my own.

So here is the recipe should you want to try.

1 cup corn oil (I just use Naturel oil)

1 cup caster sugar or 1/2 caster and 1/2 dark brown sugar

2 cups of self-raising flour - sifted

3 eggs

3-4 carrots - finely shredded and squeezed (don't want the juice)

zest and juice of an orange

1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

optional: add in dried fruits or chopped walnuts

Method:

1. Beat oil, sugar, eggs, essence, cinnamon, zest and juice until light and fluffy.
2. Add in other ingredients and mix well.
3. Bake in oven preheated oven for 45 mins - 1 hour. Check your cake with a cake tester. The cake is cooked if the tester comes out clean.

The cake tastes better after a few days, not freshly baked for the ingredients will need more time to blend in together after baked. Store the cake in an air-tight container, in the fridge. Once you are ready to eat the cake, make this yummy cream cheese frosting.

1/2 cup unsalted butter

250gm cream cheese

1 1/2 to 2 cups icing sugar - sifted

Beat the butter and cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in sugar gradually and beat until you get a smooth and glossy frosting.

I, myself have baked this cake 3 times in a month; that is how good it is! And it is nutritious, better than butter cake! Good for Raihan too!

The Ice Cream Tragedy

School holiday is always wanted by teachers more than students, I guess, for I am a teacher and I do enjoy school holidays more than my students do. Cuti akhir tahun ni yang paling best sebab cuti yang paling panjang sampai kadang-kadang sampai bosan rasa rindu pula pada sekolah.

Oleh sebab terlalu bosan, mulalah minat terhadap pencuci mulut, desserts menguasai diri. So I browsed the net, watched various Youtube videos, and recently I had the itch to make my own ice cream (since I have the machine but never been used). Maka saya pun mencari resepi dan cara-cara nak buat aiskrim di Youtube, until I came across a video.

Nak jadi cerita, sebab punyalah semangat nak buat aiskrim, lepas tgok video tu saya cepat-cepat ke dapur and gather all the ingredients needed. When I have done the first step which is making the custard based, my sis complaint that it was very very sweet. I confidently told her that when it becomes ice-cream, the sweetness will go away. She was convinced, and she watched the video that I watched. Guess what, I had made a very silly mistake-I heard the man wrongly: he said 3/4 cup of sugar, I heard 3 cups of sugar!!

To make the ice-cream less sweet, I decided to make a double batch of ice-cream, without sugar and mix with the earlier, sweet batch. Alhamdulillah, the batches came together nicely.

And now, I have 3 batches of ice-cream of different flavours, to gulped down. Anyone care to join me?

Moral of the story: Listen carefully, research more before you do something!

Mohd Raihan

He is one year old now. ONE YEAR OLD!! Amazing how having a child makes it easier for me to go through a year, without realizing we have managed to go through 12 months.

Raihan, my darling baby boy is really active now. He eats a lot too ( and then he will suffer from constipation). Amazing little boy, he is. Dah pandai sebut bird, bes ( as in habis) and nak. Palaing best bila dia sebut nak. Pantang nampak orang pegang makanan atau cawan, mesti dia pegi kt org tu smpail ckp 'Nak! Nak!'. Comel sungguh.

Now I have to think how to mould his behaviour sbb kdg2, he can be violent! He bites and pinch people! Harap2 perangai ni x berterusan...

Oh, now I am also have started thinking of having a baby girl..Haha ;p

Think before you choose

I have been teaching for only nine months. Now I think I might have regretted my decision. I was naive when I made my decision about six years ago.

Bukan semua orang mampu menjadi guru. Perlu hati yang ikhlas, usaha yang mantap dan berterusan. Me? Sometimes ikhlas, most of the times, MALAS. I think I don't have the most important element to teach which is PASSION. Without passion, you cannot do anything.

Sometimes, life takes its own turns. When it does, we discover more about ourselves. Maybe there is a sliver lining behind all these hurdles. What I am sure right now is that I don't have any passion in teaching. I teach just for the sake of menghalalkan dan memberkati duit gaji. I do what I am supposed to do, I don't push myself far for I don't have the passion.

I realize that in our life, most of us end up doing things that we are most passionate about, regardless what degree or qualifications we have. Thus it is important for us to search for our passion in life so that our life becomes more meaningful and more fulfilling.

Women's Power

Walaupun baru setahun lebih bergelar isteri dan baru 5 bulan bergelar ibu, saya amat kagum dengan kehebatan wanita yang bergelar isteri dan ibu. Hal ini adalah disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor:

1. Walaupun penat bekerja di pejabat atau sekolah, si wanita masih bertenaga untuk memastikan rumah berada dalam keadaan yang teratur. Paling kurang, sinki bersih tanpa pinggan mangkuk yang kotor.

2. Dalam masa yang sama menjaga keperluan anak, si ibu masih mempunyai masa untuk mengemas bilik tidur dan menggosok pakaian suami dan diri sendiri. Begitu juga dengan membasuh, menyidai serta melipat pakaian.

3. Malam-malam tidur si ibu tidak pernah lena kerana perlu bangun untuk menyusukan anak. Si ayah? Tidur enak dibuai mimpi sambil berdengkur.

4. Sebelum keluar rumah untuk bekerja, si isteri mampu menyediakan keperluaan anak untuk dihantar ke rumah pengasuh. Si ibu sempat memandikan anak di samping menyelesaikan pelbagai kerja rumah yang lain.

5.Walaupun banyak perkara yang perlu diuruskan, si wanita ini tahu segala selok belok rumah. Contohnya, dia tahu di mana hendak mencari sesuatu barang, tak perlu tanya suami, "Bang, baju tido anak kt mana?".Well, it is because she is the organiser of the house!

Oleh itu, para suami di luar sana, ringan-ringankan lah tulang bantu si isteri. Berikanlah penghargaan atas segala pengorbanan dan penat lelah isteri. Ingat, bukan anda seorang yang bekerja mencari rezeki! Dengan adanya isteri yang bekerja, kurang beban kewangan anda. For me, dalam menguruskan hal rumahtangga, si suami yang patut lebih penat sebab anda ketua, so ketua memang kene buat lebih!

Hebat bukan, insan yang bergelar isteri & ibu pada masa yang sama?
Saya bukan puji diri sendiri, tapi selepas mengalami sendiri pengalaman ini, saya amat menyanjungi ibu saya sendiri dan para ibu yang bekerja tanpa ada bibik di rumah.
WELL DONE to us!!!

The journey of a magical experience

Wah..lama gle x update! Dari sebelum bersalin sampai la umur baby dah sebulan... Biasala, busy yang teramat sgt... This time, I want to share some of my experience of being a pregnant lady, and the experience of giving birth.


The Pregnancy

Both husband and I plan to have a baby. But not this soon as we thought that I will only conceive a few months after stop taking my pills. But His plans are better. Alhamdulillah, my pregnancy was a very smooth one. But not that easy as I was quite tensed up by pressure from BPG (thanks to her for all the mess). Nasib baik dpt gak graduate.

Although the pregnancy was uneventful, I gained so much weight even though I didn't a lot. Mengidam..takde sangat, tapi selera berubah-ubah. Kejap nak makan tu, kejap nak makan ni. Yang tak berubah cuma fav drink: Sunkist Orange Juice. Hopefully, I will get my pre-pregnancy weight and shape back ;p


The Labour

Pagi sehari sebelum kelahiran Mohd Raihan, I had a weird dream and suddenly I felt a kicking from inside my womb. I was shocked, awaked from my sleep and quickly stood up. And there was a trickle of water coming out. Tak panik pun sebab tak rasa sakit. Confuse ada la; is it really coming? So I call my husband yang tgh ada important meeting, and he said: 'Nak abang balik ke?' Haha. Funny.

We went to the doctor and she said I had a leaking and labour is still far away, it will be tomorrow. So we went to One Utama to buy our cats' food and had tea at Old Town, then we off to the birthing centre.

That night, contractions coming in slow and steady at first, then fast and furious. I couldn't sleep at all. Bengang je dgr my hubby berdengkur sedangkan I ni menahan sakit macam nak berguling-guling. Nak tunggu pukul 4 pagi sementara doktor dtg utk bagi pain killer rasa macam bertahun-tahun. Dah bagi pain killer pun still sakit and x leh tido. Lapar tapi whatever goes in, went out. Sepanjang mengandung tak pernah muntah, ni la baru pertama kali...

Finally, my OBG doc came in and said I am going to the labour room. Can't wait for the pain to be over. Dah masuk labour room tu, doc heran apsal air ketuban x pecah2, so she did it for me. X sakit pun tapi rasa pelik air tu keluar. Haha. Then, she injected oxytoxin in my drip. After that, the contractions were really strong and painful. Allah je tahu macam mana sakit nye. Tak pernah rasa sakit sampai macam tu skali. Macam sakit maha senggugut! The doc said it will be 4 to 6 hours before the baby arrive, and I couldn't imagine how I am going to survive with the pain.

Thank God it wasn't that long. After 1 hour or so, I had the urge to push. So, I pushed and pushed with any energy that was left inside of me, and then finally, I heard the nurse said: 'Dah nampak kepala baby, cepat panggil Doktor Ummul!'. Pastu, lg la semngat I push, then Mohd Raihan pun kuar.....sume sakit pun hilang..............



Being pregnant and giving birth is really an experience so special that Allah swt granted to women only. Walaupun susah dan sakit, penghujungnya amat best skali. Now only I truly understand why Allah swt says we have to put our mothers first before our father.

The ups, downs and swings of the pregnancy

I am still digesting the fact that I have a being developing inside my womb. I am still unable to imagine what our life would be like with the coming new little member. I can't imagine what kind of mother I will be. Just one thing: I love the way my body is changing itself.

Some people ask me whether I have extraordinary 'mengidam' or not. Well, I don't really have one (or more). But here are 3 things that I want to share with you:

1. I crave for various food. Sometimes, I like to eat Gardenia Butterscotch bread. The next day, I want to throw up from just looking at the same bread. And today, I really really want to have McD chocolate sundae. I notice that I like spicy food and sweet desserts nowadays. Tom yam, masak lemak cili padi, asam pedas, ice-cream, cheese cake, frosted cake, chocolates.....
Mesti nnt the baby pun same. Haha.

2. Sometimes, I have mood swings. I just feel like crying for unknown reasons. I hate this when it happens as usually I am alone at that time. The swings know the right timing to hit me hard.

3. I can't wait for my belly to get bigger. Membuyung bak kata some of my friends. Must be really exciting to see me become so large like a living, land, walking whale.


Got to go now. See you again soon! **

Entering a New Phase

I stopped taking my pills early March. Some may think that it is too early for me to get pregnant and have a child. But I have faith in God's decision and in myself. I am a strong woman, I have always been.

Thinking about how I got to learn the fact that I am pregnant, it is quite interesting. I could feel that I am conceiving although the 3 pregnancy test I took told me otherwise. And I keep insisting my hubby to buy me pregnant moms' milk even though the tests were negative. Finally, one day, my hubby listened to me. We bought a pack of Mamil Gold milk, as well as another pack of pregnancy test.

I was very 'ciwi'. Couldn't wait for a few days before taking the test. So, before we went to sleep that night, I quietly took the test, alone, without my hubby knowing. And, voila! The other line showed up, although not very clear. It wasn't clear, but it was there. I was trembling, not knowing how should I react to the result, so I shouted, calling my hubby who was watching telly at that time. He was so happy that he almost cried.

So the next day, we went to see a doctor. A saiko doctor. He could not believe that I am pregnant as I just stopped taking the pills for less than a month. But, hey, 'kun fa yakun'! Boleh pulak doc tu tnye, "Ni kalau betul jadi, u nak simpan ke?' I was shocked, but I answered 'Yes, of course'. Heee....benci btul ngn doc tu. Bukannye nak ckp tahniah, tnye soklan gila pulak. We are not going to that clinic ever again!

I know some of my friends are worried about how I will go through my practicum in my pregnant state. I am very positive that I will be okay. Pray for our well-being, ok? But still, I am a normal human being, not a super human. Maybe at times I will feel very dead tired, hopefully you guys can support me at those times :)

Quick Update

Well... I know it has been ages since I last updated my blog. My life is unbelievably busy! I have never experienced such a busy life before this. Maybe now that I am married, I have more commitment and work to do, but I still have the same amount hours like other eligible bachelors out there, which is 24 and not 48 hours! As I have less time, but more work that others, I will just write a very quick and compact updates of my current life:

1. I think I have slightly gained weight. Maybe because of blissful happiness. Tipu la kalau I kata I tak kisah, kisah jugak sikit2, sampai kena tegur dgn my hubby because I always complain that I am now fat and he doesn't think that way. Anyway, what is more important is that I lead a healthy eating habit: No junk food! (but I cannot resist sweet temptations..cakes..ice-cream...yummmmy.... ;p)

2. I now have a baby. A cute, michivieous and naughty fluffy Persian kitten, named Marsha. No photo of her yet. I am still trying to find my leisure time to do all the uploading of the photos.

3. I hate the current Malaysian education system! There are still lots of conservative educators who still believe their way of teaching is the right one. Unable to open up their old minds to accept changes. Wait till I become one of the think-tankers...

4. My beloved husband and I now have our own sweet little home (thanks to my parents-in-law). It is small and simple, but it is our heaven. Bak kate seorang ustaz, kalau nak syurga di akhirat, ia bermula dengan syurga di dunia (i.e. kedamaian & keharmonian rumahtangga).

5. I still have the rights to moan about my life now. I know I made the choice to get married early, but I am still a human being. Ciptaan Allah s.w.t. yang kerdil & lemah. Those who said: "Tu la, sape suruh kawen awal". You guys just wait for your time. All I need from you guys is your support, not that kind of reply which sometimes, hurt me :(

6. I now will treat myself by going to the hair salon on a regular basis. Thanks to Hani, whom according to my hubby, : "hei..bahaya betul kawan ngan Hani ni, ajar sayang buat benda2 yg mahal!" (p/s Hani: Abul gurau je, eheh ;p)

7. For this month (March 2009), my hubby and I have spent a total of RM 10 000 ++. However, it is because of a useful invesment: buying furnitures and other essential things for our new home. However, it still doesn't change the reality that I am now quite broke!
Haha =D (p/s Suhaimi: sorry for the kaya. It will come, but later sketla ye...).

8. Marriage life is super-duper fantastic.


That's all for now. More coming later (but I don't know when. Biasalah, hidup busy skrg nih)

New Life

Finally, after a few weeks of craziness, I have the time to update my long abandoned blog. Sampai bersawang lah kan, bak kata Suhaimi. Bukannya apa...busy sangat la dik oii... Lepas kenduri tu, kelas pun start, everyday ada kelas, and weekened busy keluar ke sana ke mari. Ni pun x berapa sihat, jadi tak pergi kelas dan berehat. Alhamdullilah...

I am sure, many will ask me, 'How your new/ married life? or Apa rasa dah kahwin?'. Honestly, I don't know how to explain it. But, of course, I am happy. Truly happy and contented. If we think we are happy that we have a girl/boy friend or fiance, that happiness can't be compared with the happiness that a marriage gives us. To have your loved one besides you every day, to see his face and to hear his voice .... it's very blissful. Betapa indah dan sucinya cinta yang Tuhan ciptakan khas untuk suami isteri. Jadi, siapa2 nak bahagia camni, kahwin la cepat2, eheh ;p

Tapi, kahwin bukanlah semata-mata hendak menghalalkan percintaan yang terlarang je. It goes far beyond that. Bagi yang mentua dah sayang, alhamdulillah lah..tapi bagi yang belum, it is a challange for you, Kahwin bukan kahwin dengan si dia je, tapi dengan semua ahli keluarga si dia jugak. As for me, kahwin dengan si dia yang ada big family, memang satu cabaran, tambahan pulak tinggal sebumbung dengan ipar :)

With marriage also, comes a big responsibility. Bukan memadu cinta asmara je. Soal komitmen sudah pasti. Bagi isteri, keperluan suami mesti diutamakan. And for the husband, jangan abaikan kebajikan & keperluan isteri. Both partners have to be sensitive and tolerant. Hehe..cakap pandai je... but I am still learning. Yelah, baru nak masuk sebulan... x pakar pun lagi.. ;p
Dulu, sebelum kahwin, pukul 9 malam masih awal. Tapi sekarang...'Hah, dah pukul 9!'. Bujang dulu, hidup rilex je...rasa lapar, makan, kalau malas masak, buat yang cincai je. Sekarang, tak leh la nak buat camtu. Baju dulu pun, liat nak iron. And now, ironing is like my new hobby. TV pun dah x sempat nak tengok. Ape dah jadi dgn Prison Break, Grey's Anatomy & Desperate Housewives pun tak tau...xde masa nak tengok. Hu....
But all that can't beat the smile of my husband when he comes home from work :))

From my experience, marriage is not that hard. For Muslims, the simple akad is what we need. But as now, most of us have been affected by globalization and materialism, the simple thing becomes an almost imppossible mission. Some may think that I got married at a very young age, but the determination is what matters most. Although I still have another year to go, it does not mean that I can't manage my life better. Ape pun yang terjadi, I believe it happens for the best.

Wedding Nerves

When people ask me, are you nervous now that you are getting married? I always answer no, as I have been waiting for far too long.

But now that the wedding is more or less four more weeks to go, I am actually NERVOUS!
I even get jumpy when I am not doing anything.
I even get jumpier when I actually do something.

Gosh, why am I nervous????

She is so clingy that she will not leave my mum's side.
My mum brings her every where, balik kampung, pegi kedai, isi minyak kereta etc.
Guess now my mum has a new little baby to take care of...

Chocolate Fudge Cake! Yummy!!

I am very choosy when it comes to eating chocolate cake. The cake must have the right amount of moisture, the acceptable level of 'chocolateyness' and enough sweetness and creaminess. In my search for 'The Choc Cake', I came across a recipe and tried baking it for my best friend's 22nd Birthday. And here is the result:

Chocolate Fudge Cake
(note: picture might not give the right justice to the cake's look & taste)

The taste....OOohhhhh.....it's beyond your imagination!! It is exactly 'the choc cake' ever! It was so good that I had it for breakfast for a few days in a row!


And now that the DC disorders hits me again, I am going to bake this again.
Let me know if you want some ;p

A Boost for Motivation

It is 29th October 2008. I have finally done writing my last chapter, complete with all the appendices needed for my dissertation.
Thank you so much to my extremely superb tutor, Katy Salisbury.
The journey is now very close to its end.
It is indeed very amazing.
Splendid.
