In 4 seconds
....you can burp,
say goodbye to someone
propose to your beloved one
or you can win yourself a BigMac!
We were given six coupons (6 tries!) for the BigMac Chant Challenge and thought why not give it a try ?
Quite menggelabah at first but after the first try, we got the hang of it and tadaaa!!
BigMac Queens! Took home 6 BigMacs and save us on dinner for the night
*****
Picking up from where we left off.....
It's amazing how one month ago we can be soo scattered; living on different time zones and places, and yet every time when we meet up, we can still talk like we've never parted, laugh at the same lame jokes and pick up from where we've left off the last time.
I thank God for these kind of friendships.

The much awaited...
......school holidays have begun!
Yes yes and i get to enjoy them too.
Haven't had a real break since the semester and finals ended more than a month ago.
Although i know there are things which i need to get down to do, eg:-
marking exam scripts
and prepare more lesson plans and powerpoint slides, the thought of having the luxury of time is already pure bliss.
Was just telling a friend that my idea of a perfect, relaxing day would look something like this ...
sitting in a roadside cafe, sipping coffee with a good book in hand and watch the world go by.
Nice.

Celebration of God's faithfulness...
*Last Saturday for me was action packed. Can't find another word for it. Was practically running from one place to another*
It has been ages since i woke up early to do a bit of exercising. Last Saturday our small group decided to do just that and i must say, not even half way through it, i was already experiencing shortness of breath and panting my way walking uphill. Felt like i've really aged. Bearing the brunt of not exercising regularly now: Leg and thigh muscles aches.
The morning walk started alright until one of us decided to go off-road and walk the jungle trail. And so we detoured from the normal walking track which would probably see us finishing the whole course in about 40 - 45 mins, and went on a jungle trek instead. Although it was a well trodden path, we didn't know where the trail with red arrow marks was leading us to and none of us has gone on this trail before. Only one thing we were certain of; that it wasn't a usual track for morning walks. Saw only horses' hoofprints and tyre marks.
Like a scene from the famous five?
We kept walking until we found ourselves reaching this place.
the playground for the high and elite
Only realised that it was a private area and we were trespassing after we toured around it, came out of the place and saw the sign. By the time we started our walk back, our legs were already screaming!
*****
After the morning adventure, came the golden jubilee thanksgiving service. Though there were some hiccups at the beginning, i'm just glad that in the end everything fell into place. The highlight of the service for me was no other than hearing the man himself recollecting his experience and his time here in BB..
Mr. A. L. McGregor
*****
Right after the golden jubilee celebration, sped off to another celebration. This time, my dad's 55th surprise birthday do.
NICE!

Sure was.

Random points
- Two weeks ago, the tables on my right and my left were unoccupied. Then two days ago, came peers from a different campus who joined me in their 10-week BB challenge!! It's weird how the 3 of us can connect so fast in such a short time. Probably because when u're thrown into the sea together, we learn to put aside our differences and learn to work at those things that bind us.
- Learning to teach and teaching (them) to learn hasn't been easy. But i'm thankful for the many words of encouragement.
- Tomorrow marks the first day of observation.
- Today marks my first makan do with the other teachers. It's not really significant but i still cannot imagine that i'm now eligible for this now; that i can join in those jamuan guru-s now!

The other side...
More than a week has passed and still i have not gotten used yet to being called, "Teacher! Teacher!", sitting in the staff room with other teachers, being on the other side during assembly and being greeted while walking along the corridors.
Going back to school in the first week was more of a reminiscence of yesteryears than a practical. Attending the assembly (albeit standing on the other side of the hall now), going to classes and staying back for extra-curriculars brought me back to those days, to those zaman kegemilangan in school. Couldn't help but when i looked at my students with different attitudes and antics, it tickles me because i could see us in them, how i could identify some of them with some of us and how in my heart, i would laugh out loud because of the things that we did and now they are doing it. Not to mention, school assemblies so far has put me in a state subconsciousness; my flesh in the hall, my mind reveling in my own schooling years and all the experiences that comes with it.
No doubt, thus far, it has also been a learning experience in many ways. Am still learning to walk the walk of a teacher, the ways of the trade, the selok-belok of being an educator.
Not easy but i know it isn't difficult either.
Where most of my lessons are conducted...
Took this one morning upon reaching the school. Stood in awe . Thought it was magnificent. Students must be thinking i'm peculiar now.
Teach me O Lord, to teach them.
