Busy times

It has been a while since I last wrote and I must say, now, I have nothing much to reflect on. From the last post I probably have to say that the procedure didn't work.. I was disappointed but not so much at first.. then later it kinda hit me and I went through the whole "why stage?" all over again.. Just kept that to myself though and was kinda glad dear hubby was cool about everything.. Anyway.. next step maybe the BIG thing.. will keep you posted!

Other than that.. life has been hectic work, school, etc.. Said 'goodbye' to my 2nd years and felt a little choked up when I was giving my `last speech'.. Kinda dramatic huh.. Well, this is the first step of `letting them go' and I had been seeing that coming for months actually.. Don't know why I had to feel so affected. It's not that I won't be seeing them anymore.. But realised that there were some I'd remember more than others and also felt bad for not being able to really bond with everyone.. I know I can be idealistic, but I guess any teacher can tell you that they must have connected with some students more than others and end up remembering a certain few rather than everyone they taught. Will go through this a lot for the rest of my life as a teacher and I think I'll be this way at least for the next couple of years.. Until I become one of those `seasoned' teachers who probably become tough cookies in the end.. hehe..

a note before midnight

It's the end of June.. soon it will be July - my favourite month ;) Significant things are happening in July. Results. Decisions to be made. New students, new class, new people to break my heart.. Anyway, it didn't work. My time off. Remind me not to have any time off from the world wide web cuz it'll never work. Can't be separated. Today was not a good day. I need to get my eyes checked cuz my lack of power which I never knew, is giving me terrible headaches and I couldn't see the writing on the mahjong papers my students presented today :( and my power is already 600!! :(( Ok.. gotta go battle with my cat and shove a pill down her throat. Please cooperate. If you're interested: sher127.tumblr.com goodnight readers of my blog..

under the weather

I think I'm one of those people who rarely get sick, praise be to Allah for that. Yet when I do fall sick, it happens usually during the weekends or a long holiday like right now. Mind over matter. That's what I tell myself when I refuse to give in to my `helpless' condition.. If not I'd not be able to get things done. Yet of course our body needs to rest. Needs to heal. So rest we must.. and with that, I bid farewell for a while until I get back to my normal self. Abdullah r.a berkata, Rasulullah bersabda: “ tidak ada seorang muslim yang ditimpa cubaan berupa sakit dan sebagainya melainkan dihapuskan Allah taala dosa-dosanya seperti pohon kayu menggugurkan daunnya.” God willing.

a sight for sore eyes

Seven years ago we made a decision that changed our lives. My husband and I took in ( bought ) a 2 month old cat (from Penang) who at that time was a tiny one and could fit into my husband's pocket shirt. We named him Woody because of his colour and we never looked back. Since then we've breeded 10 of Woody's offsprings and 5 grandchildren. After several deaths, a disappearance and some giving away, only 6 remain with us. And they are indeed a sight for sore eyes, a source of comfort and joy and above all, our children . Can't imagine life without them.
