FYI, it means 'Hi brothers and sisters!' in Urdu..hehehe..love the language..just another day at the office...n it's almost lunch hour now...i usually go out with my girlfriends (Sabrina,Kak Hajar,Kak Yong, Kak Lee n gang)to our fav(really...?) n nearest place..TESCO...n I am counting the time...tik..tok..(^_^)
as for this post, i just want to share a lil bit about me..i know i'm supposed to write this as my 1st entry but i forgot to do so..hehe..my bad,,
Ok, i'm a simple woman who chose to be an educator...why? i like teaching...when i was a kid, i had dreamt of becoming a doctor but since i'm not a huge fan of blood and everything, i said to myself,"stop dreaming and start choosing ur career"..so that was it...i chose to become an educator (this term sounds superior than a teacher..right? :p) basically, i am an English Lecturer at one of the private college in Kelantan..the fun part is, mu husband also works at the same place as i am..hehehe..coincidence?nope...it is perfectly planned and arranged by him...(before we were married)..now we need to act professionally in front of our colleagues...working in the same place has it's pros and cons...what are they?no need to tell la..figure out yourself would u?hehehehe
first time meeting the students...whoaaa....it was quite shocking..some people who weren't ready will definitely get culture shock...was that really bad?YES! hehehe..just kidding...as for myself, well....at first it was kinda hard to adjust with the new environment (since i was a student for a 5 long years of study)and now i have to teach them! everyone has their own ways and techniques of teaching..so am i...i approached them slowly and steadily...once i finished teaching 1 class, i fell soooo relieved! well at least for the first day..there will be more than that coming in front of me...so i gathered as many information as i can get and examined these students' behavior and reactions in the class..alhamdulillah..after a few months, i managed to handle the students...some of them..hmm..wait, some?nope..most of them aren't really good in English..they kinda flunked this subject during SPM. That's why as an educator, I must help these student with the knowledge that i've got from my previous studies...
Being a lecturer especially English is hard...seriously, it is hard!! especially when it comes to some students who didn't know how to read in English...at all! it is a BIG challenge for me and the rest of other English lecturers here..but we try our best to help and educate them..i started working there on May 2009 and it's been 2 years now...wow,i never thought it could be this long...seriously...but, its my destiny..hehehe(really?hmmmm)..and i accept it with open heart...i must say that i kinda enjoy working here..i have taught soo many students..maybe more than 500 of them..hehehe..most of them have a good relationship with me...i still remember when i was in high school, whenever there was a Teacher's Day, the celebration was awesome! students gave presents to their teachers...now, i feel the same thing..some of my close students give presents to me not only on teacher's day, but also on my graduation day as well as my birthday! i am soo touched!....
We, English lecturers also organized some fun and exciting activities like Apple's Day(i received lots of apples!!!!) English Day n Choir Competition...
it was fun,fun and fun! i received so many apples...!hehehe..at the same time, i also teach some Indian dance to students (the idea came after my colleagues realized that I'm a HUGE fan of Hindi movies..)hmm..i teach simple dance only and we just view some Hindi movies video clips and try to imitate them...i have so much fun teaching them and as a result, I become closer and closer with the students!
these are the dancers....before make up
after the performance~ weeeee
besides that, we also join some other activities organized by our college...like sports day, family day n many more...
all i can say is, we are 1 BIG family...yay!
thats all i guess....bubyeeeeeeeee!
