15 Syawal 1430

House 1

Taman Sri Andalas

- umah Baba & Mama, pengasuh Udin masa kami dok kat Sri Andalas, Klang.
- diorang jadik pengasuh udin dari udin umoq 1 1/2 tahun until he's about 5 years old.
- pastu kami pindah ke Port Klang tapi the friendship sampai skang masih rapat.
- in many ways, Udin is still their 'anak emas' even though they now have 2 cucu-s oleadi

(tadik buleh lupe amik gambau dgn diorang)

House 2

Kg Delek Kiri

- umah Tok Mami
- arwah suami dia = Tok Mamu, adik pada arwah bapa angkat my mom
- cuma ada 2 orang je kat umah dia masa tu, Tok Mami & anak dia, Aunty Zizah (dia tak bagi aku panggil dia makcik...hehe)
- crite punye crite, baru tau, arwah tok pada Tok Mami berasal dari Padang, Indonesia.
- but she said, dia pun tak kenal sedara-mara dari sana sebab arwah tok dia tak bercerita sangat pasal sedara mara di sana (kata nye gara-gara pergaduhan adik-beradik).
- arwah Tok Mamu pula berasal dari Titi Gajah, Kedah.

warga subsidy

memang geleng kepala bila tengok perangai some students yg MALAS nak usaha lebeh sikit. harap lecturers bagi semua. sampai url website pun mintak kita google-kan.

bila kita kata 'google sendiri la'... buleh tarik muka pastu gi habaq kat kengkawan lain yg lecturer mereka yg sorang ni 'tak bagi kerjasama to siapkan assignment'...

eh helloooo.... kamu tu dah tertiary level students, tak buleh la harap semua nak dibagi... macam ayam karan yg tak penah jejak tanah luar dari reban mereka.

belajar2 la jadik ayam kampung or ayam hutan yg if tuan tak bagi makan, diorang tau nak cari makanan sendiri.

jangan jadik warga SUBSIDI

Mee Kari yang...fullamak...malatopz!!

(Dato' Pitt pun gerenti akan tadah mangkuk mintak tambah 5-6 kali....)

**thanks jijoe for belanja-ing me the mee kari

bengang post-cuti raya

* it's a no wonder why melayu susah nak maju. punctuality is 'null' in their head, dressing according to occasion is also 'null' to them.

* ok, punctuality. if something starts at 9.30am then one should be there at least 5 minutes before that and not...'miss, i'm going to be late coz my house got no water'... this was messaged at 9.15am. i replied, 'any students who enters the class/lecture 15 minutes after the class has started is considered absent. -college rules-'... do your own maths. this student's house is 15 minutes from the college. even if you mandi p.ramlee style, you'll never reach class on time. biggest question... hang mangkit koi brapa ni?

* dress to occasion... ada ka pakai slipar gi klas. terang2 dalam buku panduan attending class must wear shoes, depa dok datang klas aku pakai slipar. if sorang dua ja pakai maybe aku buleh la kata kaki depa sakit... ni 15/20 dok pakai slipar... aku pun apa lagi... hangin le...
'hangpa pi balik tukaq kasut!'
ni budak pompuan ni.... bukan cantik pun slipar2 tu. slipar style slipar jamban...

itu le kisah klas-klas aku arini... ilang mood nak sembang2 raya dgn cecikgu lain dek kerana incidents tu.

Kek Batik

the best kak batik i've ever tasted...

baked by my cousin, Bahiyah.

tasted it for the 1st time 3 raya-s ago & have been 'addicted' to it since then.

even Udin was so hooked to it that every raya he's like 'Long, call la kak baya cakap udin nak kek batik dia...'

hehe... and when Bahiyah gave him his kek batik, Udin will be smiling from ear to ear... suke bebeno dia mase tu...

even bahiyah will be laughing when Udin acted like a little kid receiving his dream toy.

of coz after that udin will be very kedekut to share his kek batik with others. hehe...

'ni kak baya buat untuk udin je tau...'

5 Syawal 1430H

temankan udin beraya umah kawan dia kat Klebang.

alang-alang tu, singgah Pantai Puteri jap.

saja nak rasa air laut menyisir kaki....

dah lama giler tak mandi laut... rindu wehhh!!!

Mengapa oh Mengapa

- asal nye orang kampung tapi bila dah keje di bandau, mule lupe asal-usul...
(sanggup tak mau beraye di kampung atas alasan umah sedara-mara di kampung kurang menyenangkan)

- tapi if umah sedara-mara di bandar, sanggup dok lelama kat situ...

Bengang

i'm not bengang about the statements in the photo.

bengang kat mereka-mereka yg tak mahu terima bende ni especially the last statement tu.

dah le datang 1/2 jam lambat... bila tanye why, tak jawab pun. memang aku terus halau keluar. pastu bila dapat show-cause letter from the college, ada hati nak argue dgn aku about how they at least did try to attend the class, only diorang datang lambat je. Siap pakse aku retract my report (them coming late to class) lak tu. They said, 3x berturut-turut datang lambat baru lecturer buleh hantar report. I showed them those statements & asked them, show me kat mana yg cakap that 3x berturut tu? of course they couldn't la. They made up those '3x berturut-turut' story.

Lagipun awal2 semester lagi i dah warned all my students, any student yg 15 minit lambat akan dikira tak hadir. Whatever reason you wanna give, sila sembang dgn Pengarah or Timbalan Pengarah. Not me. My job is to take attendance & report any absentees no matter what reason they may have. Termasuk le MC & emergency cases.

And siap guna nama lecturers lain by saying, lecturers lain tak kisah pun. So aku sembur balik, by saying all their lecturers (aku siap bagi nama lecturers tu lagi) memang report kat orang atasan about their irresponsible behaviours. Terdiam diorang. Tapi pastu dok jugak nak argue lagi, lambat sikit je miss...

1/2 jam you kata 'lambat sikit je..'?

actually diorang dah terdesak tu... they don't have a valid reason for their coming late to class... so konon nak mintak belas ihsan pensyarah le. If they can't produce a valid reason, the possibility of them being barred from taking the final exam is very high.

this is not my first time arguing with students yg dapat 'surat cinta' tu... dah several times. masing2 cakap bukan sengaja nak datang lambat la, apa la, itu la, ini la... they did that for one purpose, wanting me to retract my report.

well... not gonna.

Getuk Ubi

had this yesterday for breaking fast
:-)

sempoi je nak buat...

rebus ubi kayu, kasik lenyek, pastu gaul sama kelapa parut & gula, kepal-kepalkan, celup dalam tepung and syiuuungggg...kasik masuk dalam minyak panas. bila dah kekuningan.... angkat & hidang. best eaten when hot...

1 of my dad's favourite food.

memacam hal...

umur dah 21 tahun tapi dengan muke tak malu nye, siap sengih-sengih lagi, telah 'meng-announce-kan' to the whole world yg dia tak pose...

even his partners-in-crime dah pandang2 dia 5-6 macam....

since dia dgn slambeland nye wat camtu, maka aku dgn slambeland je....
"kamu ni puase ke idok...?"

terpisat-pisat le dia nak jawab.

...if tengahari Ramadan badan seseorang bau rokok yg kuat giler, what does that mean?

the girls yg dok depan dah pekup mulut & idung kerana tak tahan dgn aroma hangit tersebut

Serabai

the boiling pengat pisang

the serabai

the serabai & the pengat

this is our juadah for breaking fast today, serabai.

made from tepung beras & is usually eaten with kuah gula melaka or pengat durian.
but i think any pengat will do.

anyway, outside of Ramadhan, this soft-cake/pancake-like dish is not easily found.
last year, 4 = RM1. now 1 = 30sen.

serabai is also known as "kuih orang mati"... why?
because it is also usually served during kenduri arwah.

and it is also 1 of my favourite food....
serabai-licious!

Kipas oh Kipas

esok kene bawak bende alah ni.

aircond my room (ofis) rosak...ntah biler nak repair, tak tau le.
and since none of the rooms ada kipas siling...so tadik berpanas gak le.
nasib baik tak lama lepas tu hujan & agak berangin.
so kurang le panasnye....

bought it a few months back, to replace yg sebelum nye. rosak.
but it has served me well... 5 years, during blackouts.

bukak pose, dinner, sahur

bukak poser semalam
(roti jala = beli, karipap = jiran bagi)

dinner-licious
(koko krunch with cold strawberry milk)

sahur
(kacang botol masak lemak & telur dadar goreng)

sahur
(chicken curry)

the kacang botol = from the front yard.

eggs & chicken = from our chicken coup

** telur dadar goreng = lauk wajib for sahur. rasa tak lengkap sahur without it.
(nasib baik ada constant supply of chicken eggs....hehe)

all in all, semua lauk, lauk yg simple. a few times i even had 2 pieces of peanut butter toast for bukak pose. if i have that as bukak poser, dinner tak makan dah. coz it's very fulfilling...

Bewok Chilako

ha, 'bewok chilako' yg nyaris menelan anak ayam td... nasib baik bapak aku nampak and the two of us pegi mengejau and membalun nye dgn buluh...

Ikan oh Ikan

"haus....haus...nak air..."

nowadays, ikan lagi mahal dari ayam...
sekilo ikan kembung pun dah RM11++

ni gambau kat section seafood Jusco Melaka.

Poco-poco dance

yg meminati tarian ini, fikir-fikirkanlah...

27 August 2009

14 years ago... on this date, i started my teaching profession...

and I have many bitter-sweet memories/experience since then....

and there were many incidents where instead of being their teacher,
i became their students...

most importantly, I'd like to thank those who are in that circle of memories/experience for all those time spent together.

nak list sensorang... tak termampu.
