hair-spray

I am looking at my hair and thinking how fast it grows. Since I cut it in March till November, that's 9 months. Ever wondered why your hair is tak rata ketebalannya.. like how thick it is at the roots and how it jadi nipis at the end? do you have that ? or am i the only one ?

Tbh (ayat ikhwan ni), I am abit obsessed about my hair. i think that's the best part of me kot (cewah, citer pasal aurat nih). I guess there is something about your hair that makes you who you are.. it's a big portion of your personality. And i think that is why as a Muslim woman, Allah made covering your head as a must. and i think there is something beautiful about it..

I am now slowly changing my image. I wear hijabs once in a while. Kinda like it. takyah gosok and pusing jer.. takpakai banyak pin and tak bnyk citer..

ich mag tempe!

I slept early last night. 930 pm ok. After having dinner and cleaning up, I spent some time with my niece, Izzah zuza and Fahim Chikedee (their nick names). Sedar2 je it my eyes just could not open anymore and I smsed him and slept. 1240 I terjaga from my sleep and got 3 missed calls. Made a phone call and slept again.

Wow. But why was I so tired yesterday? I drove to work in the heavy rain in the morning, invigilated my Stats paper for 3 hours, did some massive-yet-headachable (is there such a word) exam paper marking and went back home at sharp2 5.15. sounds like a normal day.

Anyway, the weekend was very fruitful i guess. Spent the saturday meeting up with Niza and Shaz at Starbucks KL sentral for breakfast, the evening with my sis in law, planning and planning to execute the plan this weekend and next month. did some studying (cewah) and also cleaned up my room (like totally clean up), masak sket, cuci2 kain sket, and some other domestic stuff.

So I'm hyped up for tomorrow cause its pay day.. woohoo~ kalau masa kerja bank, saat ni la paling genting.. orang excited nk dpt gaji, for me, i'll be nervous sbb takut2 ada tersilap key in gaji orang (Kerja HR payroll dulu)..

Okla, i'm ok now cause my 'pain' dah alhamdulillah hilang. me happy. me ceria.
so people since i learned to say this last weekend, just wanna write it here:-

ich mag tempe! (i like tempe)

Apakah perasaan seorang guru?

Apakah perasaan seorang guru?

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila dia sedang mengajar dan pelajar berbual2 di dalam kelas sambil bergelak ketawa? Dia hanya berkata di dalam hati kecil nya "ah, biarkan lah mereka, nanti mereka akan berhenti bercakap. kalau menegur, nnt mereka yang akan kecil hati."

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila dia sedang mengajar dan melalukan sedikit kesilapan dan membetulkannya di whiteboard dan pelajar mengeluh dan berkata, "alaa...dah salin dah". Dia hanya berkata di dalam hati kecilnya, "ketika kau membuat kesilapan, aku hanya bersabar dan menunjukkan kamu jalan yang sebenarnya."

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila dia sedang mengajar dengan penuh semangat selama hampir dua jam berdiri dan bercakap, dan pelajar yang duduk dengan penuh selesa menguap sekuat hatinya dengan sengaja bagi menandakan masa hampir tamat. Dia hanya berkata di dalam hati kecilnya, "Mungkin mereka sudah penat kot. tak apalah"

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila memulangkan markah ujian pelajar dan pelajar hanya menanya balik padanya "kenapa markah saya sikit sangat??" Dia diam seketika dan berkata di dalam hati kecilnya, "mungkinkah aku yang tidak cukup bagus mengajar mereka?"

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila dia mengajar di dalam Bahasa Inggeris bagi menghormati pelajar bangsa lain dan mereka hanya bergelak ketawa di belakang kerana merasakan pelik apabila seorang Pensyarah Melayu berbahasa Inggeris dengan pelajar Melayu. Dia berkata di dalam hati kecilnya, "Tidak apalah, asalkan aku menjalankan tanggungjawabku untuk menyampaikan ilmu itu dengan jelas dan nyata."

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila dia menyediakan nota dan membuat salinan untuk pelajar itu dan dia pada akhir kelasnya melihat kertas itu melayang di atas lantai dan dipijak2 oleh pelajar lain dan akhirnya dimasukkan di dalam tong sampah. Dia berkata di dalam hati kecilnya, "hmm, tidak apalah, mungkin tercicir agaknya.."

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila melihat anak muridnya dapat menjawab dengan betul soalan - soalan peperiksaan ? Dialah yang berasa paling gembira di hatinya.

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila anak muridnya masih mengingati padanya apabila terserempak di mana mana? Dialah yang berasa paling terharu.

Apakah perasaan seorang guru apabila anak muridnya naik di atas pentas dan mendapat sekeping ijazah dengan senyuman yang sangat gembira dan melambai - lambai pada ibu bapanya ? Dialah yang berasa paling gembira.

Terima kasih kepada semua guru - guru yang telah mendidik saya selama ini sehingga saya menjadi seorang pendidik kepada generasi baru ini.

Maafkan cikgu2 saya sekiranya ada yang saya lakukan di atas, kerana pada ketika itu, saya tidak matang dan kini, saya tahu apakah perasaannya guru..

Sayang kan ?

Starts : 1025 PM

Someone once said to me, "Live your life without any regrets".

When I was much younger (mcm dh lame jer hehe), biasalah, budak2 mmg nakal sikit. Sikit jer. I like to try new things (konon experiment) and just break the rules (abit) once in a while (biasalah kot). So, when my students do crazy stuff or just trying to be the young ones they are right now, I kinda know some of their tricks (been there, done that).

However, I do not regret how I lead my life. I am what I am today because of what I was yesterday. So, alhamdulillah. Whatever mistakes I have done before is a lesson for me to learn, probably some bad experiences, or unwise decisions, I have dealt with and learned to live with it. I have never blamed anyone for what had happened to me.

Why this sudden post? See, I am working as an academician. And as an academician, I deal with a lot of people. And most people might say that my work is easy because I just teach. See, that is where people who assume that are wrong. I do not JUST teach, I believe that my responsibility goes beyond that. I am responsible to shape a person, academically. and I believe that I take my job very seriously. I have been a lecturer for about a modest 1 year and 3 months to be precise. And as far as I can remember, I have never regretted venturing in this line.

I always tell my students. "Please, do as I tell you. Don't have any regrets when you see your marks. Don't blame others for what you are responsible for. You have a big responsibility, to learn. and my responsibility is to teach and to guide you. So I take this big task seriously. and I hope you do too." Some take it seriously. Some just don't bother. Some want to but just do not have the strong willpower to do so. Whatever it is, I hope that my students will not have any regrets.

"If only I studied harder"
"If only I submitted my assignments"
"If only I paid attention in class"
"If only.... "

I remind my students and myself as well and the fellow readers.. Please.. have no regrets.. just live your life.. or just.. embrace life.. and just live.. Cause your life is a too precious and a beautiful gift for you to waste..

Please throw away all your regrets.. your negative vibes.. your anger.. your hatred.. your jealousies.. your sadness..

Wouldn't it be a waste if one day you wake up and you realized that all your life has been filled with all those feelings.. and you are old and have lived your life but was never happy.. never vibrant and never lived? Sayang kan ?

PAKU

>> Monday, November 17, 2008

I got this email from a friend and i thought it was very well said... Listen to the moral of the story.. maybe we could all learn from it...

Ada seorang pemuda yang sangat pemarah. Dia tidak dapat mengawal
kemarahannya walaupun ianya hanya satu masalah kecil sahaja. Pada suatu
hari, bapanya telah menghadiahkannya dengan seguni paku. "Untuk apakah
paku-paku ini ayah?" tanya pemuda tersebut. "Setiap kali kamu marah,
kamu pakulah tembok batu di hadapan rumah kita ini, bagi melepaskan
kemarahan mu" jawab ayahnya. Pada hari yang pertama sahaja, pemuda itu telah memaku sebanyak 37 batang paku pada tembok batu tersebut. Selepas beberapa
minggu, setelah dia dapat mengurangkan kemarahannya, jumlah paku yang digunakan
juga berkurangan. Dia mendapati, adalah lebih mudah mengawal kemarahannya
dari memukul paku menembusi tembok batu tersebut. Akhirnya tibalah pada
suatu hari, dimana pemuda tersebut tidak marah, walau sekali pun. Dia pun
memberitahu ayahnya mengenai perkara tersebut dengan gembira. Bapanya
mengucapkan tahniah dan menyuruh dia mencabut kembali paku itu satu
persatu, pada setiap hari yang ia lalui tanpa kemarahan. Hari berganti hari, dan
akhirnya dia berjaya mencabut kesemua paku-paku tersebut. Pemuda
tersebut lantas memberitahu perkara tersebut kepada bapanya dengan bangganya.
Bapanya lantas memimpin tangannya ke tembok tersebut dan berkata "Kau telah
melakukannya dengan baik, anakku, tetapi lihatlah kesan lubang-lubang
di tembok batu tersebut, tembok itu tidak akan kelihatan sama lagi seperti
sebelumnya. Bila kau menyatakan sesuatu atau melakukan sesuatu ketika
marah, ianya akan meninggalkan kesan parut dan luka, sama seperti ini. Kau
boleh menikam seseorang dengan pisau dan membunuhnya. Tetapi ingatlah, tak
kesah berapa kali kau memohon maaf dan menyesal atas perbuatam mu, namun
lukanya masih tetap ada. Luka di hati adalah lebih pedih dari luka fizikal.

Sahabat
adalah permata yang sukar dicari. Mereka membuatkan kamu ketawa dan
menggalakan mu ke arah kejayaan. Sahabat juga adalah seorang pendengar,
berkongsi suka dan duka dan sentiasa membuka hatinya kepada kita.


Maafkan saya sekiranya saya pernah meninggalkan kesan berlubang di dinding hati
anda....

Dating 101: How to reach soul-mate status with any man

>> Sunday, November 02, 2008

Read this on yahoo.com.. quite interesting

Dating 101: How to Reach Soul-Mate Status With Any Man

Experts say that to truly connect with a guy, you need to suss out his personality type. Read on for ways to spot, snag, and sync up with the four most common kinds of dudes.

THE ROCK


SPOT HIM
Typical interests: Organized groups (like a running club), gadgets, nonfiction books
When he's stressed, he analyzes the situation and makes lists and plans.
He lights up if you say: "I could really use your advice on something.

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...
You want your boyfriend to be a supportive, steadfast partner who shares your sensible approach to life and is smart enough to get your sometimes quirky side without judging.
You're turned on by witty, intelligent conversation and gifts that show the affection he's not so great at verbalizing.
You deal with problems by talking about them rationally. This guy's always game for reasoned debates, but drama queens will lose big -- emotional outbursts freak him out.

SYNCING UP
His favorite dates: He feels most energized when he's engaging his mind, so try watching a documentary, seeing an interesting exhibit, or taking a class, such as sushi making.
Relationship requirements: This dedicated dude gets totally absorbed in his interests. If you don't even ask about them ("How was Shark Week?"), he'll feel like you don't get him. He's also tuned in to etiquette, so gaffes (like bailing on plans) turn him off.
What he seeks in a soul mate: To really trust you, he has to know that you respect his cerebral nature. Help coax out his playful side with plans he'd never make on his own and he'll see you as the total package.

THE DOER

SPOT HIM
Typical interests: Sports (playing and watching), barbecuing, building things
When he's stressed, he dives in and deals with the cause, whether it means extra hours at work or a showdown.
He lights up if you say: "Is there anything you can't make happen?"

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...
You want your boyfriend to be the classic male archetype -- a protective, take-charge dude who doesn't yap about his feelings but lets his guard down when alone with you.
You're turned on by grand gestures, like spontaneous PDAs, and manly deeds, like changing your car's oil.
You deal with problems directly without any passive-aggressive BS. He's quick to confront conflict. If you are too, your issues will disappear once you hash them out.

SYNCING UP
His favorite dates: His heart beats faster (figuratively and literally) when he's active, so suggest a hike in the woods or a boxing class followed by drinks.
Relationship requirements: This on-the-go guy needs solo time to recharge and will feel smothered if you are clingy. You'll need a thick skin, because he doesn't sugarcoat things...ever.
What he seeks in a soul mate: His he-man side needs you to appreciate his efforts to lead. But under his strong, silent exterior, he's a superloyal softie. He feels complete when you can talk about the feelings that he internalizes.

THE THRILL CHASER

SPOT HIM
Typical interests: Outdoor activities (like camping and skiing), foreign travel, parties and crowds
When he's stressed, he distracts himself with something amusing, like watching the game or organizing a social outing.
He lights up if you say: "Oh, you have a fascinating story about that -- c'mon, tell everyone."

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...
You want your boyfriend to be a whirlwind of personality who can liven things up, make you laugh, get you out of your head, and keep you guessing...in a good way.
You're turned on by unpredictable, exciting plans.
You deal with problems in a casual, nonconfrontational way. Mr. Conflict Avoidance hates when you're unhappy with him and will deflect attention unless you tackle the issue.

SYNCING UP
His favorite dates: This class clown loves being around new people -- think karaoke night or a charity casino event. He's also thrilled by new accomplishments, like scaling a rock wall at the gym.
Relationship requirements: He needs a laissez-faire chick who won't try to rein in his inner wild child. He is willing to share the spotlight, just not all of it.
What he seeks in a soul mate: The ultimate people person bonds best with an ever-evolving woman who can match his lust for new experiences. He craves independence yet still needs to know he's important to you, so being secure enough to show you care is a must.

THE SWEETHEART

SPOT HIM
Typical interests: Music, cooking dinner for friends, reading literature
When he's stressed, he talks about it with confidants until he finds a solution.
He lights up if you say: "I never would have noticed that. You're so observant!"

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...
You want your boyfriend to be a guy who truly listens, understands your girlie side, and can talk about feelings.
You're turned on by sweet, movie-worthy romance, like slow kisses and crazy-great compliments.
You deal with problems by honestly addressing them and taking emotions into consideration. He's a philosopher at heart, and even if you two don't agree in the end, you'll learn tons about each other during your in-depth discussions.

SYNCING UP
His favorite dates: Atmosphere matters to this sensualist, so find a spot with a romantic vibe (try a botanical garden or outdoor jazz concert) for the real highlight: your ever-intensifying one-on-one bond.
Relationship requirements: This nurturer tries to know everyone he meets on a deeper level, which can be rough if you're the jealous type. Also, he's so into connecting that he'll feel dissed if you don't share your problems.
What he seeks in a soul mate: This idealist falls when he knows you value communication too. Because he tends to ruminate, you'll enhance his life by being decisive yourself.
