1 year

I haven't been blogging for approximately 1 year now. I wasn't that active in blogging though, but I think I need to start writing now. 

   Life has been good to me so far after the divorce. Alhamdulillah.. NOW I truly believe that ALLAH will NEVER EVER test HIS loved ones with something that they cannot bear. HE knows I'm strong and capable of going through this test. HE has NEVER left me alone as HE has sent a lot wonderful people to be around me throughout my toughest time in life... 

  I am doing ok :) InsyaALLAH .. And will always be ok .

~ Never Regret What I Chose ~

I would never regret things that I have chosen in the past and this includes my career as an educator.

:: A picture is worth a thousand words ::

I was surprised, happy, overwhelmed when my colleague, Ain, MMS me this picture. She found this on my student's,  Dhiya Dhinie's book. Well, I only taught her for a few months last year and I never expected she would love me soo much ...I love you too girl... hahahaha ... Thank you Dhiya Dhinie...

I believe you'll succeed ... You'll do amazingly in your SPM 2011 ... A+ for English. 

Because of her, I am very sure, well, no more turning back I guess in teaching profession :)

~My Feel Good Box ~ Chapter 2

I was really sleepy last night when I was typing the 1st Chapter of ~ My Feel Good Box~.
Now I'm all up to continue with the 2nd chapter..
  Talking about the messages , hehe.. I got a few too from my beloved kids ! It was really sweet when Shalihin came to me, smiling all the way and said ' Teacher, this for you'.. awww ... I was really touched.Never expected he would give one to me.

Shalihin and Fauzan 

The message written was :

 Dear Mdm Zeezah, 

Thank you teacher for teaching and guiding me to get A+ for B.I ..

InsyaAllah

Doakan untuk kejayaan saya,

Aaaw.. that's so sweet of you Shalihin. I didn't expect that he would have given me the message because he is such a quite boy in class.So, for him to actually come to me, well..it's kinda a big thing for me . TQ my dear.

   The next message is from Kyna. It was written: 

Teacher, I love you.. I adore you too.. Sorry for everything...

I love you too Kyna !!!!

But , the one that I love the most is from my dearly Hanna Rafi'... She is one of the closest students to me. She's more like a baby sister than a student to me..(Hush..Hush...She doesn't know about this..ngee..). We always have something to argue and we are crazeee people ! Haish... Hanna..Hanna.... 

It was written : 

Madame Zee,

You've taught me a lot in life.

You're a wonderful teacher,

at least you are to me :)

I love you,

and you know so :)

Hanna Rafi' is the 3rd girl from the right

Sobb...sob... I almost had tears in my eyes when I received the message from her.. So, I think you know what happened when I read it. Hahahahah!!! 

Well, the objective of the 'My Feel Good Box' is to help the students to feel good, loved and appreciated whenever they are down. The box is more like their treasure box which they have their valuable stuffs in it. So, whenever they are down or toooo stressful (trial is just around the corner you know..) they can just open their boxes and looked at the wonderful pictures they have, and read those messages given by their friends. How would you feel when your friends say something good about you? Of course we'll feel happy! We'll feel loved! We'll feel appreciated. But, I think it's not our culture to actually express our feelings. and I bet the kids are also shy to express their feelings verbally. so, writing a love message to our loved ones is another great option. 

  Expressing our feelings is one thing. Another thing which we are not exposed to is, ACCEPTING COMPLIMENT. I had conducted the same activity with 2 Form 2 classes and when they read their friends' messages , they made faces (especially when their friends said they are sweet, beautiful, caring..- all those positive things). They just refused to accept the compliment. How then??? 

   I think I have a lot more to do as a teacher. I don't want to just teach them about Grammar, Preposition, Subject Verb Agreement... For me, the best subject matter to be taught to the kids is LIFE. Yes ,LIFE... I want the kids to ENJOY their lives.. I want them to EMBRACE their lives... and this can only be achieved if they LOVE themselves UNCONDITIONALLY first. In order to LOVE ourselves, we must be able to ACCEPT who we are.  and we can start this by accepting all the compliments from people with OPEN HEARTS. 

LOVE is the BEST MEDICINE of all

~My Feel Good Box ~ Chapter 1

Lots of good things happened today. At first I thought I wasn't that productive, but after reflecting on things which I have done, I think I did pretty well.
  This weekend , the F5 kids are having their Motivational Camp and English slot was the 1st one. As what I have visualised, it turned out to be I.N.C.R.ED.I.B.L.Y A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! before the camp, everybody was assigned to bring a shoe box and 2 jars @ small boxes to be placed inside the box.They were required to decorate their treasure boxes with pictures, stickers ,and the best part was they had to send at least 1 message to any of their friends, telling them what he / she loves about that person.
  Though the boys didn't bring much things to use as decorations, their creativity was beyond expectation as some of them had come up with wonderful boxes.

  And teachers looked EXTREMELY HAPPY to see that everybody was having fun and they had tried their best to sort of beautify the box. and they looked even more excited when their boxes were filled with beautiful message from their friends.

~ Friends ~

Have you ever wondered, who are your true friends? How would you know if he / she is a real friend? What is the benchmark to actually tell that he / she will always be there for you ? 

   Most people would say that , a true friend is someone who will always be there for you through your ups and downs. Yes, I couldn't agree more with that. But , after everything that I've gone through, after meeting and befriending with people from different walks of life, I would define a true friend as someone , a good soul , who can be happy for other people's achievement. To me -That's a true friend. I find it really funny when you seem to be close with someone , yet , you don't really seem happy with the achievement she /he has accomplished. You don't really support them morally. I just don't understand why some people have to be jealous with their friends. Everybody has their own 'rezeki'. We have ours too. So Why can't just we be happy for others' happiness? Why do we have to judge them for what they have achieved?

   Sometimes, I wish I could turn back time. I wanna be a kid again. Because kids don't judge. 

Hey There ! Let's Be Grateful For What We Have okeyh !

Happy Morning people !!! Today is a GREAT DAY indeed as I eventually have my own blog. All these while, I have been reading others's blog. I used to wonder " where do they get the ideas to write?". Well now, I have found the answer I suppose. Just start !
  For my 1st blog, I would like to express my GREATEST GRATITUDE for E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G that HE has given me... for E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G that He has planned for me.

  I always believe that ," regardless the s*** that you have to go through, ALLAH s.w.t dah susun cantik dah." You just have to be patient, open your eyes, heart and mind as WIDE as you can... Then , you'll see the reasons behind it.. Well, ya it might take years for you to actually make sense of it, but, trust me. If you look at things positively and be grateful for EVERY SINGLE THING that happens to you, you'll be AMAZED at the plans HE had planned for you.. Trust me,, BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.
