Say It Again for me...

I must confess; I’m not ready. I thought May 16th would be the date that I really look forward to. It was the day I completed my practicum, marking the beginning of my career pursuit. Funny I felt a crater in every inch of my fiber being. If you have noticed the commercial by RHB (Banking is simplified); I think I look exactly like those with their heads clamped in the wordings box. I have so many questions which I have no answers to, I’m overwhelmed by uncertainties moreover I must admit I’m scared of what the future has to offer. I know precisely what I want after this but acknowledging the means hinder me from thinking hard. Nevertheless I’m not going to stop dreaming. I guess I must learn first how to map out my chase in climbing up the career ladder…and mine starts at 29. Another minus point to boot. Oh well.

Let’s put my worrisome temperament aside. The last week spent with my students was pretty vast. I spent the very last day devouring Dunkin doughnuts with my Form 1s, taking pictures and had a very good laugh. We’ve made a pledge not to shade any tears that day although some of the girls succumbed to the rocks in their throat the moment I started serenading “Sempurna” (yes, I sang to them). I, on the other hand avoided any attempts of embrace, hugs or any of the sorts. I knew I would certainly get the waterworks set off once those little arms wrap themselves around me. I rubbed their shoulders or gave a friendly pat on their backs; firmed enough that they probably understood I don’t deal with mushy situations. Sorry guys. On a personal note, I would like to thank my beloved students especially the 4Alpha1 and 1 Saksama for all the unexpected gifts, the lovely cards and well wishes. I do hope you remember for the things that I have taught you and not my shenanigans.  (Remember how nervous I was when my lecturer came till I fortuitously scrawled your whiteboard with a permanent marker???) I will always remember the times when you impelled me to laugh hysterically with your spontaneous acts, the songs you sang artlessly and of course the looks on your faces when I stormed off your classroom? Priceless! You’re all simply unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Over the course of 12 weeks of practical I have revamped my friendship with my buddy Anis. Not only the staffs and the teachers kept addressing both of us by each other’s names; they even made believe that we could actually be sisters! There might be time we would drive each other up the wall but most of the time we’re rubbing our bellies for laughing so hard at the nonsense the school doles out. Anis is certainly blogging about her experience soon, I just can’t help but to make a remark that she is one hell of a pregger!  She endured so much misfortunes sometimes I just wonder where she gathered her courage from. Both of us may have learned a little or two from our experience of teaching in this school but we did learn a lot form each other. And I personally gained inches to my waist for keeping a pregger luncheon company. How can I ever forget that RM1 nasi lemak ya Nis, and also the countless trips to Sushi King? The cherry on top however goes to the very day when I accompanied Anis for her baby’s sonogram. That was the day when her gynae announced that she might be having a boy and I witnessed for the very first time (ever in my life) a baby kicking on the screen with its twinkling heartbeat and ehemm… that two cute nuts (an obvious sign that it’s a boy) Heheh… Thank God I didn’t get all emotional or else Anis would have to drive me home. Pray to Allah SWT that it will be my time soon so that I get to share the lovely experience with her in return. Besides my graduation, Anis’s delivery is something that I look forward to. Can’t wait!!

Oh, just to mention I went to Marie Digby’s showcase in One Utama and frankly I didn’t like it one bit because the damn reporters and media blocked my view of that dolled-up singer! I could only catch a glimpse of her during the performance. Kudos to my little sis’s Cybershot, at least I managed to take some videos of her. Conversely, the highlight of my day was a snapshot with Cheryl Samad, oh… how I adore this petite, talented lass! I went home with super-aching feet and ahh… an autographed CD by Ms.Digby (you wouldn’t wanna know how I got it...)

Ermm... this is quite a blog. The one thing that I have learned best during my practicum was how precious 24 hours in a day can be. It somewhat gave me a peep on how my life may turn out should I decide not to hire a maid later on. Freaky thought. And my mom’s proven right again when she talked of ‘pintu rezeki' in pertinent to waking up early in the morning. I’m keeping that habit hitherto. Another chapter finished. Ready or not; get the pay check rolling cuz here I come! An advice for my juniors;

“Teaching practice: not for the faint of heart". Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
