nyaris kena "myocardial infarction"

heart attack daaa.....

during Oral quiz last week.

Me: what do you usually do on weekends?

Student: first-first, i go eat-eat with friend-friend. Then go walk-walk with friend-friend round-round shopping complex. Then see movie.

ter-takashima (terkesima... hehehe) pun ye, nak tergelak pun ye.....

anyway, once we're done, i did correct her mistakes and inform her not to simply direct translate from BM to English.

bahasa SMS

i do use 'bahasa SMS' but only the ones yg have been 'universally' accepted. so imagine my shock when i received this SMS from a student:

'ms, ass bl kn anta?'

'ass'???

i only know 2 'ass'-es. The keldai and the pungkoq.

but instead of asking the meaning of her 'ass', i replied:
"kamu cakap bahasa alien mana ni?"

hehehe.... baru le dia hantar ayat yg elok sket...

i don't know about ejin, but i do have students yg when writing essays, somehow tak leh lari dari writing 'u' instead of 'you', 'b4' instead of 'before' so on so forth.

what did i do? aku kata, "1 bahasa sms korang guna, sengaja atau tak, aku tolak 5 markah". ngeh ngeh ngeh... that seems to get their attention... 5 markah oiii... banyak tu. nak-nak plak if markah yg diorang dapat, is already low to begin with.

Lahabau kau...

ramai tanye aku, knape orang melaka suke nau guna 'lahabau' when greeting people.

hehehe... it's not a 'rude' word, actually it means 'lama nye takde berita dari kamu'...

you see, lahabau is actually a 'twisted' form of "la khabar", an Arabic phrase for 'why no news?'. Zaman dulu kan Melaka pusat perdagangan... so ramai saudagar Arab berniaga...

Pak Arab ni bila jumpe kengkawan yg dah lama tak jumpe, diorang cakap 'la khabar?'

orang melaka pulak, kami ni kan if ujung 'r' jadik 'u'... maka jadik le 'la khabar' tu... 'la khabau'...

and after many-many-many-many years... it becomes 'lahabau'.

dan memang sebenar nye penggunaan 'lahabau' tu untuk menyapa those yg dah lama kita tak jumpe, bukan untuk menyumpah. cume orang luar je yg guna 'lahabau' as a rude word....

Amali Sembelihan

Date: 10 April 2010 (Sabtu)
Venue: KPM Ayer Molek

It's a 3-in-1 program. Gotong-royong 'Gempur Pembiakan Aedes' followed by the 'Sembelihan' and finally "Pengurusan Jenazah". Petang and malam plak ada BBQ.

Ayam 40 ekor, kambing sekor.

Masa sembelihan tu le akan tau sapa yg nampak je berani tapi sebenar nye idok and sapa yg nampak je 'fragile' but actually very the berani one.... hehehe....

all in all, i had fun last Saturday. dah abis program, went for lunch at Resepi Rahsia... hehehe... lasagna and then tapau blackforest cheesecake. yummy-licious!

so many things to do, so little time to do

nak jumpa kengkawan lama pun tak sempat...

Buleh angin ahmar tau...

Tajuk esei : Crime Rate Increment.

yang buleh wat angin ahmar adalah ayat2 berikut:

1. Illegal racing is false in the rule.

2. They also like to clash the rule of the road.

3. Teenagers now cleverer in do newborn babies.

Y-o-Y

i had a slight misunderstanding with one of my close friends.

the matter is already settled and closed yet why am i still hurting....?

sedang touch-up KPM AM's TPHEA

student mithali... hehehe

guess which bean is under the green 'window'

some of KPM AM's Jack & The Beanstalk casts

us, the accompanying lecturers from KPM AM

kengkadang je dapat rasa camni

lauk kenduri jiran tengahari tadik: grang asam, sambal belacan, nangka masak lemak, kari ayam, acar & ikan kering. Makan plak kat blakang umah dikelilingi pokok-pokok nan rimbun... angin lak berhembus kuat masa tu... fuhhhh...

nasib baik le kat umah orang... and makan plak dgn makcik2 & nenek2 sekitar rumah. if kat umah sendiri... mau aku tambah 2-3 kali!!!

nasib baik tuan rumah bagi kitorang berkat lauk yg sama... so... balun lagi le kat umah pastu! hehehe

but the ambience at that lunch hour moment was... really jarang dapat rasa.

cut - cutted - cutted

these are from Proficiency Test taken by semester 1 students... depending on their year of birth, they are between 18-20 years old.

my point; money down the drain if some people couldn't even master the Simple Past Tense verb for 'cut' is 'cut' and not 'cutted'

and of course, the 'classic' BRING-BRANG-BRUNG....

salah siapa?
11-12 tahun belajau BI dok gak bring-brang-brung....

Hadiah birthday

FOR me FROM me...
hehehe...

since i bought it during the month of my 'birth date' so I got 30% off la...

it's so rewarding bila beli hadiah sendiri....
:-D

my TOB & my DOB

so today i'm officially 25 years old....
hehehe...

plus plus plus a dozen times more.... hehehe

i still remember some of my birthday celebrations...

- students singing Happy Birthday in class

- students singing Happy Birthday right in the middle of the morning assembly
(horrified giler masa ni... hehehe... takut Pengetua bising)

- students singing Happy Birthday during Majlis Aidilfitri
(the Pengetua jokingly asked them later... ni majlis raya or majlis birthday cikgu kamu?)

- surprised birthday celebration from friends & students
(which somehow i managed to 'sense' coz it was a tad too obvious they're up to something... hehehe)

- receiving gifts from students and friends and family...
(from flowers to perfumes to teddy bears.... hehehe)

and one the most surprising birthday gifts was when someone sent me a bouquet of red and white roses many years ago. I was so 'blur' masa tu... sampai nyaris tak dapat tips delivery boy tu... hehehe.... nasib baik housemate "here's your tip and thanks"... sambil tarik aku masuk dalam umah balik. Coz it was dead winter at that time... hahaha.... blur yg amat sangat sampai sejuk winter tu pun aku tak perasan it's there.

anyway, to that person... and everyone who has wished & gave presents and memories... do know that i really appreciate everything...

Pahang Declares Three Days Of Mourning

KUANTAN, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- Pahang has declared three days of mourning from Saturday as a mark of respect for Sultan Iskandar Ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail of Johor, who died yesterday.

Pahang State Secretary Datuk Muhammad Safian Ismail said all government departments and government agencies were discouraged from organising any activities that had elements of fun or entertainment during the period while the state flag is to be flown at half mast.

"The directive has been disseminated to the heads of departments concerned via the short-messaging service. The private sector is also encouraged to follow suit," he told Bernama here.

hadiah for me

- received these from my sister in Ipswich.

- an early birthday present... hehehe
(lipstick stok setahun tu...)

dah DG 44

Alhamdulillah...

yesterday's MARA circular had confirmed that i've been approved to be 1 of DG44 teachers. To make it 'sweeter'... the kenaikan pangkat will be backdated to 1st of April 2008.

you may ask, why lambat naik pangkat...

sebab aku ni malas nak amik PTK tu... hehehe
my kenaikan is based on my years of service + PTK + big boss' recommendation.
if nak cepat naik pangkat, rajin2 le study for PTK...

untuk study some things yg takde kene mengene dengan my job spec...
memang aku kurang sanggup.

lebeh baik aku study to be a better teacher.
pangkat has no meaning if the quality of a job done is... ntah pape....
lagipun, i want satisfaction... not duit or pangkat.

and of course, to see my students... successful

Jalan-jalan di SDSI 2009 Showcase

Location: MITC Ayer Keroh

despite many products yg sama (read: kerepek, fruit cordials), there are some highlights why people should not miss these kind of showcase.

each state is given 1 lot to display whatever product they want to show/sell.
beside states, agencies related to local products like MARA, SME, MITI also displayed & sold some stuffs. some states also presented their local traditional cultures.
(which reminds me, ada someone tu penah menari Sumazau masa sekolah rendah.... hehehe)

my mom bought this

walaupun bentuk lain, tapi rasa tetap sama macam kueh kapit nyonya melaka

itu yg dalam dewan. yg diluar, under 1 huge open-air tent, each state is given a few stalls to promote their local food.we bought nasi kerabu, rendang tok + ketupat palas and mee kolok. owh, i also showed my parents "ha, tu la gulai batang pisang" when we stopped at gerai Kedah. my dad's family tetibe je asked me Aidiladha baru ni about gulai batang pisang.

gulai batang pisang

i also bumped into Jawa Rangers HotFM (AG & Kieran), Azizah Arifin WHI & Maria JJCM.

There was also 1 indoor traditional perfomance by a troupe from a primary school in Bukit Kepong, Muar. Alahai... comey-comey belaka the performers. Especially those 2 little boys... budak darjah 1 or 2 kot. They did tarian zapin, tarian asyik, tarian kerinching and tarian piring.

also, a fashion show by bebudak tadika.
1st 'model'... pakai baju tradisi Kadazan. bijak jugak budak nye... technician silap pasang lagu dia... she told Kieran, cikgu kata kalau lagu salah, jangan naik pentas.
hahahaha... bijak... bijak...
and bila lagu dia terpasang, ramai bersorak.
apa tak nye, kitorang yg tengok ingat, dia akan naik pentas and jalan macam model.
Rupa nye idok.

dia menari Sumazau ikut rentak lagu tu....!!! tergelek-gelek... kiut giler!!!
