ha...ha..ha..funny.....

Last Saturday, I was called to invigilate a very important exam. Guess what?!!!! The chief invigilator was my very own life partner!
As I reached the exam center, I was recognised by his school colleagues...but not other invigilators. Well, without introducing who I was, ...except for my name and which school I was from, I did my duty. But.....I kept getting curious glances from the others who did not know my relationship to the chief.... I also found out that they were wondering why dear chief did not put me in other rooms. All the time, I was invigilating in the same room as he was. We also had curious glares and unvoiced curiosity from the other center's chief....he caught us in a very intimate moment of trying to paste a sticker onto an already tied parcel...Guess what!!!???? quickly, he jumped in as if to try and break us (the couple...) apart by offering his help instead and pushing me aside,,,away from my dearie...(very funny at the thought of it) However so...being the hubby who seldom realises things...he didn't even noticed all the glances and glares that we received that day until i told him about it.
I guess...the other teachers might have spoken about this at their schools the following Monday...maybe they would say that the chief was actually having an affair with a fat and pregnant plus non-attractive lady teacher...ha..ha..ha... It's kind of funny when you think about it.
Well, maybe....if we have to work together again next time....I should wear a badge saying that "I'm His WIFE!!!'
What do you think?!!!!

Drama oh Drama

It's the time of the year where all schools in the district are asked to send in participation for the district drama competition. in the beginning, I wasn't thrilled about sending my school's team for the competition. But as the teachers cum trainers and the students were already prepared and excited, so, what the heck....here we come.
The story was interesting...underwater sea. So, you can expect to see underwater sea creatures as the props. Well done to the team! They had really done it well. The students' voice projection and articulation were amazing. They were clear and I as their teacher really didn't expect them to do that well. They really did surprise me!
However so, they did not get to go to the finals. But it was a good show and spirit displayed by the students. And I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the teachers whom had given more than 100% commitment to make sure the drama went very well.
(Better luck next year though)

Last Holiday at Pantai Remis

During the last mid school semester break, we went to Pantai Remis in Jeram. At first, we only planned to have a short visit because hubby had work to do there. But then, plans changed. We decided to spend the night there. The kids were thrilled because they'd have longer hours to spend on the beach. So, we walked along the beach and then the kids played kites and bubbles too. It was a relief to get away from Kampung Jawa once in a while.
However, there's one set back to the place....there was no wind in the morning and night. There was mostly low tide rather than high tide. High tide was only for a short period; from 1 in the afternoon to 6 in the evening only. Most people went there to look for prawns and crabs. There also you could see lots and lots of shells (sea shells). The kids had a gall time collecting shells of all sizes. Sadly though, as they reached home, the shells were also gone...missing in action?!!!!!
There's one memorable thing though that i really liked about Pantai Remis. The SEAFOOD or shall I say the IKAN BAKAR. It was wonderfully yummy. The price was also affordable. If anyone wants to have a treat of ikan bakar, Jeram is the place to go to. So, I might persuade dear hubby to take us again to Jeram...but not for the 'pantai'....IKAN BAKAR!!!!!

BLOWING BUBBLES IN THE AIR

Now, it's abah's turn.

Hey, where are the bubbles?

A boring week!

Well, this is the third week of the year end holiday. Sadly, we haven't gone anywhere or done anything interesting so far. In addition to that, this is a sick week for almost everyone at home...except for my eldest girl and the maid. They are still standing strong. As for me, I have been sick twice since the beginning of the holidays. I was first down with a very bad flu and recently I had diaorrhoea. My hubby had caught the flu form me...who else. Furthermore, my two younger girls vomitted and came down with fever. So, no going out for everybody.:(

Anyway, the kids and their daddy had finally manage to find something interesting to do (other than watching tv or vcds). Hubby, before getting sick, had managed to buy himself PS2. (in replacement of the one robbed from him last year) So, they've been in front of the tv most of the time leaving mama to do her own things...what a relief...no one to disturb.

However so, the youngest, who doesn't find playing games appealing, minds her own business...playing on her own...again without disturbing mama...: D

She sits and watches her favourite tv channel - Playhouse Disney!

Daddy gives way to children..plays with his 'snare' instead.

This is one of the games that the two kids loved playing.

Happy Holidays!!!!

It was hilarious!!!

The holidays are here again!!!!! Yaayyy!!! Not only the kids are rejoicing the holidays but also the teachers. I am so relieved to be able to get away from the school kids for awhile.....a month +++ exactly. My eldest and her sister were looking forward to the holidays as 'abah' had promised to take them 'cinema hopping'. Like last week, dear 'abah' had brought them to watch 'Madagascar 2'. As for today, the film 'Bolt' is screening at the TGV cinemas....but 'abah' still hasn't said anything yet. Well, if dear 'abah' says 'jom pi tengok Bolt', I guess the kids would be jumping off their socks with cries of joy : ). As for 'mama', she will only reply with a smile...very weak smile...because tak larat!!!!
Anyway let's just enjoy the holidays. Again...'HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!'

Pn. Noorhayati Ismail In Memory.

Today, our GKMP Bahasa, Pn. Noorhayati bt Ismail has returned to rahmatullah at the age of 41. She died due to high blood pressure. It was a shocking and sad news for all of us at SMKKJ.
As I remember her, she was a good boss and friend. I could always go to her whenever I had things to ask especially regarding KP's work. She was always there and willing to help and give her opinion. Sometimes, I would run to her when I had problems with my KP work.
I can still see her face and hear her calming voice. Her demise is a great loss to us and to the school.
As long as I had known her, she seldom complained about anything. She was also the type of person who'd never try to ditch jobs. She was always responsible in her duties.
Now, that she's no longer around, I feel a great big loss. There's no one for me to turn to to ask for advice and help if I have problems with all my panitia work. I also feel a bit 'terkilan' as I could not help her with the 'perumahan' thing. A few days ago, I mentioned to her about the buyers of Desa Kerayong Indah are now able to cancel our purchase of the houses . At hearing this, she was happy and asked me include her when my hubby wanted to cancel. I had agreed and promised her. Now, my promise can no longer be fulfilled...she has gone forever leaving a husband and an eight year old son (who of course feel her loss even more...)
Anyway, her memory will live on. 'Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan dikalangan orang yang beriman. Al Fatihah.'

Raya 2008

The girls in their baju kurung and tudung raya

Raya this year was mostly felt by the children. They couldn't wait to put on their raya clothes and shoes. I'd bought for them necklaces and bracelets each. Even their maktok gave them costume jewelleries ; necklace and bracelet for Alya, bangles for Aina and Auni....they were overjoyed at getting them :). I also bought 'tudung' for the three of them. They looked so cute wearing them.

Besides new clothes for the children, what I like about raya is the food cooked by 'mak bonda'. For this yar's raya, mak bonda of course cooked her famous 'ketupat palas and rendang' (yummy). She also cooked 'soto' which was really delicious....but it was not actually cooked by her...my sister's maid did the cooking. Anyway, it was delicious.

Then, duit raya...the kids got quite a lot. Their tokabah gave them quite a huge sum. As for me, I was the one who gave duit raya to ayahanda and bonda....not forgetting my nephews, niece and daughters! Anyway, it's good to 'sedekah' some to our loved ones :).
Not only did we celebrate raya going to and fro ampang and klang...but we also went for a two day holiday to De Palma. The kids were excited. However, they didn't get the chance to try the swimming pool because it was raining for the two whole days we were there. Yet, it was still a memorable raya for all of us.
