Why I want to be a teacher?

1. I love teaching (wahhhh! so standard answer for KPLI interview!!!)
Hey, I want to be a teacher and even applied for Degree + Edu, tapi xdapat sob sob sob...
It was my truly and long lasting ambition compares to Astrologist (Abah's influence okay), Labour Law Consultant (thanks to my abah, a big influence!), HR Manager (Abah also), Architect(that time abah was so in to build house) and even Doctor(I just love people)!!

2. I idolise my teachers (from my heart, thank you so much teacher!!)
My primary and secondary schooling was heaven(dont wana use hell) fun! Still remember my standard 1 teacher Pn Salmah, very nice,soft and caring lady. She was I think 50+ that time. She likes to wear kebaya nyonya to school. I wish if she still alive, I wana meet her. Standard 1 - Form 3 (1991-1999), my school SRK / SMK St Anne's Convent, Kulim Kedah.

Secondary teachers: Pn Zaitun (sains), Pn Romlah (math), Pn Pauziah (BM)....mis you all. I wana meet them...these teachers called me Anak Mat Ali (my Abah the very peramah type, all teacher knew him).

3. I'm good in teaching...so as I believe (Waaaaa...ayat angkat diri)
I can stand people xpaham for up to 5 times. Maksudnya, ajar sekali xfaham, kali kedua oso xfaham, sampai la kali ke-5 i still ajar baik2 dengan approach yg berbeza..masuk ke 6, suara dah naik, dan tegas la, ke 7....pergi rehat dulu, sbb aku nak cool down!! ;) karang ade yg kena smack down bagi darah tu jalan ke otak sket....

4. I love people...Rather work with people than things/machines/those things cannot talk/move/emotionless
Kalau dalam sehari aku tak bersosial maka buang tebiat la aku ari tu. pendek kata bukan aku la. manusia ni banyak betul kerenahnya dan paling best aku suka layan dan tengok kerenah2 ni. secara xlangsung aku boleh kaji psikologi dan latar belakang menyebabkan kerenah dia gitu...

5. Aku tegas...ciri2 sorang guru...hehehe
Aku xgarang sbb aku xjerit2 pada orang n sedaya upaya elak dari menggunakan bahasa kasar dan aku direct orangnya. agak2 xpuas hati, aku cakap depan dan bukan kutuk blakang2. Walaupun aku ada gak kutuk blakang, lebih senang aku suarakan je. Sbb kutuk belakang ni boleh menyebabkan aku sampai maki2...(cikgu kan? kena la sopan santun berbudi pekerti....) so...kira perubahan aku utk tahun ni...boleh ke? kita tengok sama2 k...

P/S: the list can go on...so aku akan sambung bila2 aku free.....

Memoir of a teacher-2-B

I enrolled myself as a student of Kursus Perguruan Lepasan Ijazah at one of the Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (previously known as Maktab Perguruan) in East Coast. First time I ever have to be apart from my family doesn't bother me so much compared to the different food, social style and insecurity here. Not so much big of a deal, but it do affect me and motivation to be a teacher overcomes all the challenges.

The first week of orientation was very interesting with the senior, who eventually younger than us, treat us some sort of shit. I was blinded at first with the shitty hospitality, not that I ask for appreciation, but at least mutual respect. They kept repeating that the KPLI students were snobbish because we have degree and they don't. Psycho us that we were here because we don't have other jobs. Hello....we choose to be here because we want to be a teacher, we left our good pays and respected jobs to be a teacher. Plus other tormenting, sarcastic words!!! I was getting fed up of those youngsters who just got a JPP title and gila kuasa like that.

The week went on with curses and complains from all of the KPLI students. Since most of us are 25 years old above, we just buat x layan je. Until the final night, our Persembahan Kebudayaan night finished and the JPP starts to pressure us AGAIN! They were shouting at us, and there was one brad(1 of the AJK JPP) who kept interupting with stupid and sarcastic words! The AJK started to shout at themselves! At last they blamed the penghulu and penghuluwati of KPLI and threatened to expel them. Whoa..that was too much! Who you think you are to expel people like that?!!!! You are not the Hal Ehwal Pelajar okay!

The night went on with the Penghulu hug and shake hand with all KPLI students. There were two students who were to be expeled too because they did not hand over their handphones (by the way, we were forced to hand over our handphone to HEP during orientation week). The air was filled with sadness and anger, anger to those bastards.

In the midst of tense air, suddenly...jeng jeng jeng...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! Hampeh...siot...bengong...itulah ayat2 yang terkeluar dari mulut2 bakal cikgu ni(sungguh tidak beretika, jgn contohi okay)...rupanya, they all planned that since early that week...hampeh la korang...btol2 hampeh....


Actually they are very nice people...AJK Disiplin yang sangat tegas melampau actually nice kids(eventhough you all seniors here, we are all older la :) ) , they are nice people and they treat us just like their kakak and abang...after the orientation we all are like friends....it's a happy ending story..but it's a real story.....

P/S: Aku still xpuas hati dengan kejutan korang..geram tau sbb korang telah membuatkan darah aku mendidih gila....sikit lagi ade je yg kena lempang time tu (ganaznye aku!!)...haha...tapi ok je...nak gelak kat diri sendiri pon ade gak....hahahahaha
