I'm leaving...

Today is my last day in school... I'm ....Hmmmm... quite difficult to explain my feeling... It's the combination of sad and happy... I felt sad because I have to leave my colleagues and students. I am surely to miss all of them! ... I felt happy and excited because I can pursue my dreams as a counsellor and motivator at the new job.

I think in this 4 years, I have encountered a lot... both bitter and sour moment especially with my beloved students... They had made me realised a lot of thing... They had made me appreciate my life more... They had brought happiness into my life... I think even words cannot express my feeling...

Today, I managed to enter my 4 main classes and shared some video and photos with my loving students... I expressed my gladitute to them and asked them to maintain their good behaviours in class...

Today, I felt like a "star"... I was surrounded by my students... asking me to dot down an autograph on their shirts, paper, books... We took pictures... a lot of pictures... Many of them gave me cards.... Some of them gave me presents....
One class treated me PIzza.... So, to all my dearest students..... Thank you......

Thank you...

Here, I sincerely wish all of a happy and properous study.... May all your days be bright and cherished with lots of joy and happiness...

Bye Bye... Sayonara.... Da Da.... I love you guys....

Regards,
Ms Mak

Micheal Jackson is Dead!!!

I was shocked with I heard the news this morning!! Micheal Jackson has passed away due to heart attack around 5 am this morning. I am sad.... Finally this long idol of mine had arose after so many unlimited suffering, miserable life... he had finally climbed up but now it's the end of his life... maybe it is faithed.


I have been growing up with Micheal Jackson since the age of 5. It has been 20 over years!! I remembered I used to dance "Beat it" when i was little. My relatives used to ask me to perform in front of them. I loved to dance because of him!! As years passed, I had many favourite songs of his.. These include the fast and also the slow tracks..

I don't know how to express this further.. But one thing for sure, I'm going to miss him, the King of Pop a lot!!! It's such a waste and pity to lost him!! He's such an amazing singer... the most outstanding singer in the world!! And the most outstanding dancer in the world!!! Famous for his Moonwalker "dance steps"... he had created wonder and had proofed that everything in this world is POSSIBLE!!!!

Here I would like to share one of his hitz with all of you.....

What do you think of me as a teacher?

Am I successful being a teacher? or Am I a failure? Do I deserve to be a teacher? How do you describe me as a teacher? Am I a good teacher? Am I a bad teacher? Do you enjoy my lesson? Do you learn anything? Do you improve?

Please, my fellow students, let me know what you think of me as a teacher? I really want to know it from the bottom of your heart... Just be sincere... (don't worry, I won't deduct marks :P)

Hi, my fellow students...

I enjoy being a teacher.. I have never felt lonely with the company of my students around me.. I love working with adorable and innocent students just like all of you. Here, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for letting me feel great about myself as a teacher. As a teacher, i have learned a lot... I learned life experience from students... I learned how to be a better person though my students... I gain happiness from just having all of you around... I went though a lot of things with my students... sweet, sour, bitter..... I laughed, I cried, I played and I fought with my students.. I have grown up with my students... Being with my students has been part of my life.. During my four years here, the most precious and wonderful time was to be with my beloved students... they have completed my life... They have made my life worthwhile... They have made me find back myself... I have found my soul because of you.... all of you... Thank you, my dearest..

Thank you.....

I love all of you... really...

School Holidays

Hi there,

Well, this will be my final school holidays... For the first time, I felt so relax.. I didn't bring a single work from school back. I think it was quite enjoyable spending holidays without worrying my school work load. All i did during holidays were sleeping, eating, playing, (just like most of you did) and of course my roles as mother and wife. I enjoyed waking up late, surfing on line especially on facebook, msn and many more. OMG, i'm quite addicted. Now i understand your conditions.

I also brought my children to several places like swimming pool and also PetroSains in KLCC. June is our family's busy month... Why? because 3 of us were born in June. My husband, my daughter and me.. We celebrated our big days on this special month. My son was born in March. PetroSains is really a highly recommended place for everyone. the entrance fees was reasonable too. We only paid RM24 for a package of 2 adults and 2
children...where each of us only paid RM6. For senior citizen above 55, they are entitle for low fees. It was worth as there are many things for us to explore there. We entered around 10am and we came out around 3pm. We spent almost 5 hours there. Actually, we were not having enough time to explore all in details but we felt hungry so we went out for our lunch. I think next time, i'll bring some food in. so, make sure PetroSains is your next trip during the coming holidays.

Journey as a teacher

it's never easy to be a teacher. it's tough but fun.. you'll be burden by workload... and at the same time you'll gain precious moment...

Tuesday 26th May 2009

today is teachers' day celebration. i performed on stage. it was my second performance since i started working here. i was very excited and enjoyed myself a lot. students and teachers gave positive comments on my performance. i sang two songs. the first song was "At your side", a singing performance with slide show. i have included pictures of students and teachers on the slide. students paid extra attention on it, hoping to see their faces there. thanks to my hubby for his effort to produce this video. my second performance was singing "Take a bow" with two of my students from 1B. it was a heartbroken song. it was about a girl being lied by her boyfriend. so, before the singing, my students did some acting on stage. thanks to Chloe, Yi Shen and Ching Yan. actually they were not prepared , but they were still willing to join me. it was done last minute. however, really thanks to you guys. i enjoyed singing on stage with the company with you guys. love ya.. Then, we took some pictures among ourselves.

after the performances, we headed for our lunch prepared by the SM3 students. it was a memorable day. thanks for the sweet memories. next, we had competitions. i took part in "completing the song lyrics" and "guessing the song" competitions. it was fun. i prefer the first competition because i couldn't guess any songs from the second competition at all. it was tough. they did not put the original song but the "modified songs". it was quite humorous. one of the member from my group was an expert. he could guess almost every songs. i think he score the most marks. well, it's just a game... and i have tried my best.. the most important thing is i did enjoyed myself.

Here, i would like to take an opportunity to thank all the students for the effort and don't forget.. thank you for the gifts too... love you always. happy teachers' day..

one more question, do you enjoy my show?

Monday 25th May 2009

just finished marking exam papers. so release.. felt so much lighter. now only concentrating on marks calculation. i have a combination of both happy and sad mood. happy because most of my students tried in their essay writing paper. i told them marks are not important. the most important is their habit to keep improving and keep trying. On the other hand, i felt sad because i wrongly trusted a student to complete a task... an important task. i always trust my student but he has promised me since two months ago to complete his task. he has been giving excuses, still i trust him so much, hoping for him to change.. i just hope he'll realise that. today, i started to let it be... let him be punished. he broke his promise and trust from me. i'm very heart broken and dissappointed. maybe punishing will realise him.

tomorrow is our teachers' day celebration. i'm quite nervous because i'm participating in some performances and competitions. well, this is my second time during my 4 years of teaching here... since my first performance in 2007. i love being on stage... i love the round applause... i love the cheering... i love to show talents and share inspirations on stage... i feel like a superstar when i performed on stage... so, if it is awful... just close one eye and one ear...

i always encourage my students to be on stage and i will lead them to be the role model of everyone.... so, students..... keep it up!!! oh yes!!!!

here's my video clip taken in 2007 during Teachers' Day:

**Can you guess which one is me? Blue or red clothes?

**How was it? Do you like it? Give some comments...

today is the 3rd day of examination. being an invigilator, i have a chance to meet my ex-students. i've have noticed few things.. my students are being more matured than before.. they seem to be more serious in their studies...this is good news. maybe time tells it all. when someone grows older, he / she is definitely going to grow up... when i see all these poitive changes on my students, my reaction..... proud and satisfied...

however, i'm quite sad today because one of my teacher has lost his class fund worth of RM500. that's a big amount of money! he suspected someone stole it yesterday. i felt sorry for him. i just hope none of my student involved in the stealing. well, just hoping for the best to come!!

today is actually Malaysian's teachers' day. so, to all teachers out there, happy teachers' day. you are really someone great and highly respected for all the efforts you have contributed so far. be proud of yourself. some of my colleagues (teachers) went out to "celebrate" together. i was invited too but i told them that i wanted to babysit my kids. i think it's good to think positively after all the hard work daily. we should spend some time for ourselves! Bravo, teachers!!

we are still having examination today. i noticed some students really didn't take examination seriously. they give up easily. whatever they couldn't do, they just give up. i don't understand why. for me, i think every opportunity should be grabbed properly. if we realise it later, it might be a little too late. i just hope that they realise it earlier before it's too late! Gambateh!!
