From KL to L

It's been a year since my last post. Well, since I'm officially back in my so called 'leisure' writing, I would like to share my latest update on my career. Here we go..

Tadaaaa..surprise!!! I'm officially a teacher now. Yes, as what I've mentioned in my title, from a metropolitan city (Kuala Lumpur) as IPG student for 5 years and around 2 months, I've been posted to a school located in a rural area named Kampung Long Tengoa, Lawas.
       At first, both my dad and I were surprised when we received the posting news from jpns. Even my dad said to me that not even once in his dream that I'll get posted to a place which is too far from my hometown, and not even at any SK school. This is because all this while I've been targetted to be posted in any SJKC school as stated in my offer letter before I entered IPG. Well, I just surrender everything into God's hand. I believed He has planned something good for me, and for His glory.
       Without second thought after I've received the offer letter, immediately I made a few phone calls, and even posted in FB to search for assistants and more details about the school. With God's grace, some angels (my FB followers/friends) have provided me with not only motivation words to lift up my spirit to accept the offer, but also some pictures about the school location, scenario of the pros and cons in term of assessibility, and school staff).
        Moreover, to my surprised, one of my friends has given me her cousin's contact number, who coincidently is currently teaching in this school. Since my informers did remind me that the school does not has phone coverage, I've contacted that teacher, Teacher C via Whatsapp. Haha. Yay! From him, I managed to get our headmaster's contact number, and guess what? After about two days trying to get his replied via Whatsapp as I need to inform him that I was unable to register according to the date given by jpns/ppd, I decided to give him a phone call on Friday's afternoon. Thank you, Lord! He finally picked up the phone. Well.. When I told him that I've no transport to fetch me from airport to school, he personally said he'll pick me up and also arranged lodging for me after I've reached Lawas.
         Today, it's been about 4 months I'm teaching in this school which is famous with it catchy slogan 'Oncoi', in English means good/well. This school is well-known because of it excellent performance in sports. One of my year 6 pupils has presented Limbang district in MSSM held in UNIMAS, Kota Samarahan. She won silver medals in 100 m, 200 m, 4×100 m and 4×200 m events. I personally feel proud and happy for her. However, in terms of academic, looks like I need to struggle hard starting from this year, as the exam candidates from this school did not perform well for both English papers in UPSR last year. #fighting #yougogirl
         The most fun part about the school is we don't have to worry much about what to eat while staying in school during weekdays. So far, we always have free breakfast and lunch being sent to staffroom straight from hostel's kitchen. Even for any event (including staff meeting, ok?) that take place in our school, our school (especially our headmaster) is too generous and make sure that there is food or at least a light meal to serve our visitors. Eat..eat..and eat..hoyeah..
       Hmm..I guess that's all that I can share with you for this post, dear readers. Hope I can collect more ideas and being given time to share more about my experience throughout my service in this school #oncoi

Memori & perpisahan

Tirai pengajian bakal belabuh
Detik peninggalan tempat 'berteduh'
Ungkapan perpisahan mengiringi perjalanan
Bahkan hingga tiba kampung halaman
Sejenak daku mengimbau kenangan


Bermula helaian baharu kini
Pengembaraan yang perlu disusuri
Sebagai penguji diri
Setelah dilimpahi dengan teori-teori
Ahli falsafah yang hebat berdiskusi
Yang adakalanya tak tercapai
Dek akal ini

Perlu gagah mengorak langkah
Jangan mudah mengaku kalah
Kata pujangga pembakar semangat
Juga ungkapan doa menjadi pengubat
Menyemai hasrat murni ingin berbakti
Mencorak setiap peribadi
Agar tidak dikesali di kemudian hari


 

Spices of life - part 1

My dear Sunshine,
Lovely, great twine,
When both combine,
Clueless to define,
Perhaps joy is the sign?

Little makes assumption,
With variety of prediction,
Cause massive reaction,
Trigger the emotion,
To search for aspiration.

Dream, as they say,
Will wait for the day,
Continue to dance and play,
And why bother about yesterday,
Which seems disrupt your day?

Smile my Sunshine,
Be the blooming vine,
No longer can they find,
That scares of mine,
With you I'll be fine.

Rintihan Pendidik Bangsa

Berbudi buat nusa
Impian sejak dulu kala
Digenggam erat dengan penuh kepayahan
Harapkan tuaian menjadi berkat
Bibit kata pembakar semangat.

Keluhan kian kedengaran
Setiap waktu setiap saat
Tidak terlintas di fikiran
Identiti anak didik menjadi taruhan
Di tengah gelenggang yang penuh cabaran.

Mengapa dan bagaimana
Persoalan yang menghantui minda
Gangsterisme, vandalisme dan dadah
Semakin menular sehingga membawa padah
Sehingga warga pendidik terkelu tak terkata.

Sedarlah, celekkanlah minda
Maruah bangsa tidak patut diinjak, dihina
Dunia hanya persinggahan sementara
Kita, ya kita
Pencorak masa depan negara.

Mengenang MH370

Titipan kata yang kian sepi,

Lambaian diberi beribu erti,

Ditepis suara hati,

Sesekali raungan menemani,

Terkapai-kapai ingin mencari,

Insan yang dikasihi.

Bersemadi di lautan nan dalam,

Buat sang pendengar terdiam, tergamam,

Cuba merungkai makna yang terpendam,

Tafsiran demi tafsiran dihadam,

Harapan masih kuat digenggam,

Sehingga kini tidak mungkin terpadam.

Hatta,

Hanya doa yang mampu daku hadiahkan,

Doa dititip memohon keampunan,

Doa dititip memohon kekuatan,

Doa dititip memohon perlindungan,

Doa dititip memohon pemberkatan,

Bagi setiap insan yang memerlukan,

Kepada Yang Maha Esa dijadikan sandaran.

Hati vs minda

Hati
Rapuhnya dikau disaat badai menimpa
Dipandang lemah di setiap masa
Ditentukan hala yang adakalanya
belum sempat ditafsir maknanya

Hati
Dikau dijaga dengan sempurna
sebelum mengenali fajar
Pabila fajar mulai menyinsing
Dikau ibarat pasang surut
yang sukar dikawal
Bahkan lebih dasyat dari bencana
Juga
Belum sempat lagi
Dikau diberi peluang
untuk menggeleng mahupun menggangguk

Minda
Mengapa perlu diwujudkan sengketa?
Keihlasan hati dari sanubari ditolak
dan dipijak begitu sahaja
Akhirnya pula
dibiar menyendiri selamanya

Coretan naluri,

Brainstorming: My so called "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs" version of short story (Hak Cipta Terpelihara)

SCENE 1

Once there lived a very charming little princess in a very huge and beautiful palace. Her mother, Queen Sancelia loves her so much ever since she was born. As the princess is born with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as that wood of the window frame, the queen decided to name her Snow White. When Snow White just about to reach two years old, the queen suddenly fall ill and passed away.

SCENE 2

A year later, Snow White’s father, King Watzson remarried to a lady which is as beautiful as his former wife. Being too young to understand about the death of her mother, poor little Snow White not only craving for the love from her father, but also has to accept the lady as her step-mother. The new queen, however, is undeniable wicked and vain. She is willing to do anything, as long as she can keep herself look pretty and fair in the eyes of the King and people all over the land. She owned a magic bird, which she really trusted as her messenger. The magic bird will transform into a magic mirror if being ordered by the queen. As a part of her routine, she never failed to ask her messenger to tell her who is the most attractive and fairest in the land. The spell that she always use to ask her messenger is “Who’s the prettiest among all, oh my lovely magical mirror?” Her messenger replies in a joyful mode, saying “You are, my queen.”

SCENE 3

One day, the queen had a nightmare. In her dream, she saw a very pretty young lady and soon felt jealous of the lady’s beauty. The wicked queen insisted to find out who’s the lady in her dream to proof that no other woman is fairest or prettiest except the queen herself. For few times she asked her messenger the same spell as what she did for her normal routine, the answer given is still the same. Snow White grew fairer from day to day, and her beauty becomes the center of attraction of young men from all over the land. When the queen first heard the news, she quickly ordered her messenger to tell her who’s the prettiest between Snow White and herself. The magical mirror replied her by saying that Snow White is the one. Unable to accept the truth, she commanded the magic bird to kill Snow White and bring back Snow White’s lung as proof of her death. The magic bird then transformed a statue to become a huntsman.

SCENE 4

Snow White was playing alone in the palace garden when the huntsman suddenly appeared in front of her. Without asking Snow White permission to bring her out from the palace, the huntsman recited a magical spell to make Snow White paralyzed before he can transport her to a jungle which is far away from the King’s palace. Instead of killing Snow White, the huntsman who is smart to differentiate between the good and the evil man, leaving Snow White in the jungle and warned her not to come back to her father’s palace. He then turned a stone look exactly like Snow White’s lung. Before he returned to the palace, he instructed Snow White to find a place that she can hide and called home until he come back someday to fetch Snow White back to the palace.

SCENE 5

It was almost dawn when she finally found a unique, medium size hut. As she was too exhausted and unable to walk further, her body became weak and fainted in front of the hut’s door. Few minutes after that, the eldest dwarf who coincidently just came back from work saw the unconscious figure of Snow White in front of his house’s door. Amazed with her beauty, he slowly creeping in his house and informed his other six siblings about Snow White. Snow White woke up about an hour after that. She was shocked when she saw the seven dwarfs standing surrounded her. At first she taught it was a dream and scream as loud as she could. All the dwarfs was terrified and shouted “quiet” almost at the same pace at a time. After they cooled down, the third youngest dwarfs asked Snow White how she managed to get into the jungle. Snow White explained to them what had happened to her. The dwarfs take pity of her, and allow her to stay with them with condition. The condition is she needs to help in managing the house chore while they are not at home. The dwarfs also warned Snow White not to go out to the jungle without companion.

SCENE 6

The next morning, the queen continues her daily routine by asking her messenger once again, “Who’s the prettiest among all, oh my lovely magical mirror?” The mirror replies, “You are pretty, my queen. However, Snow White is still the prettiest among all.” She felt angry due to her early plan that was not working to get rid of Snow White. Hence, the queen casted a spell and transformed her own self to become a rabbit. When the wicked queen arrived at the dwarfs’ hut, she knocked the door slowly and gradually become louder enough to be heard by Snow White. As it was noon time, she taught that it was the seven dwarfs who usually come back for lunch. She opened the door without having the second thought, and saw the rabbit. Snow White felt very happy because she taught that the rabbit can be her companion while she is alone in the hut. The moment she wanted to touch the rabbit, the rabbit seems to give a signal by leading Snow White to a place which was a few miles away from the hut. After a while, the rabbit stop running and Snow White took the opportunity to touch the rabbit. Snow White suddenly felt dizzy after touching the rabbit, and soon collapsed at that place. The queen leaped in joy as she taught that she had succeeded to get rid of Snow White once and for all. She returned to the palace with a broad wide smile on her face.

SCENE 7

The seven dwarfs returned to the hut for lunch, and later on found out that Snow White has missing. They tried to search for Snow White in every corner of the hut, but failed. Therefore, they separated themselves and went all over the jungle. After a few hours of searching, one of the dwarfs managed to find Snow White and quickly informed the rest to come for an aid. All the seven dwarfs were grieving when they found out the poor breathless Snow White lying on the ground. Assuming that she is died, they placed her in a glass coffin.

SCENE 8

One day, King’s palace is being attacked by a storm of very powerful armies from other kingdom. Knowing that the palace is no longer a safer place to stay, the queen took an immediate action to leave the palace. On her way back to her origin, her magic bird suddenly refused to come along with her and she lost her magic power. She turned weak and her beauty faded away. Before the magic bird gave up it magical power, it turned a statue to a real huntsman and claimed the promise that the huntsman had made to Snow White before. The huntsman, dressed up like a prince, went to the seven dwarfs’ hut and found out that Snow White is lying in the glass coffin. The huntsman blew his breath into Snow White’s nose, and finally awakes her from her long unconsciousness state. The huntsman brought Snow White away from the jungle, save the king’s life from the armies’ attacked and finally married her. The seven dwarfs were also being invited to the wedding party. They lived happily ever after.
