Marhaban O Marhaban

This is going to be a very short post, kinda feel that this blogging thing dah masuk dlm jiwa sikit2, sumtimes i feel like i want to post a lot , then on a second thought, rase maleh nak terlebih semangat, takut termerapu ...but, on a third thought , i have this urge of ignoring what people might think about me by reading the blog, but doesnt matter, name pun blog sendiri, biaq pi laa nak post per pun..hehe

This time around i would like to share with my readers about this competition that i am handling which is Marhaban, maybe ade yg baca post ni, akan kabo "bosan arr marhaban"..."marhaban ke meraban, pastu buat aksi gelak kucing kena potong ekor..", ataupun 'marhaban tu camner arr, same ke dgn nasyid?" , ataupun "marhaban??..takpelaaa..aku kalo indie band leh arr.."(very the syok sendiri), patut kena sumbat lubang hidung dengan biji durian, boleh membesarkan hidung dan mengekalkan bau busuk hidung sebusuk - busuk pemikiran orangnya..emo nya gue?

So , what is Marhaban? Of course Marhaban ni differ daripada Nasyid, berzanji and lain2 bentuk hiburan islam...Ada banyak kriteria kena give emphasis (bagi penekanan) untuk this form of islamic entertainment.

Among Those :
  • Lagu ~ Lagu die special , tersendiri, dan yang pastinya akan dok ulang perkataan marhaban , dan mestila lari nasyid, kalau bunyi nasyid, siap ada harmoni atau tingkatan suara cam bass, soprano and so on, bukan marhaban dah namanya, confirm masuk bertanding kalah
  • Suara ~ mesti ada tingkatan suara, 3 ke 4 ke tabaqat, tapi mesti pada rawi ..
  • Lain2 korang carikla sendirik, cam malas nk explain dah.
So secara cut shortnye, i have been given a responsibility to train my institution marhaban team, with no experience whatsoever, i am working my nose off (hahaha)..first carik experienced trainer for this skill.Alhamdulillah, with Allah's blessed and will dpt jugak jumpa trainer yg sgt2 experienced, tapi one thing yang sedih sikit, he is kind of busy with his new career, so his time with my team is limited.

So, task kedua daptkan plak students yang akan join this competition, ni satu lagi yg bikin aku jadik pusing, students besa arr kejap nak  masuk, kejap nak kuar, kejap tu , kejap ni, please wake up! be professional!..
so, this matter masih lagi unsolved sehingga detik ku menulis entry ini..so, doakan me!

Life As An Educator : Inspiration is crucial!!! ~ Teacher's Day Story!

Frequently i have been asked this question by my students,

'What Inspires You As A Teacher?'


So, this year i have been asked the same question , so for me it was like a deja vu, this is pretty easy, pretty lame question that i have to answer,Same Script Different Cast.

First scene ~ So, when i Am ready to answer the question ..with my made up script, feeling empty whatsoever, the moment i started to open my mouth to answer, i am suddenly petrified with a random memory that went through my head,  the memory im refusing to let go.

Second scene ~ With a sudden pause, i was inhaling and tried to pacify myself..and staring emptily at my interviewer's face, and then..i told her..

Third Scene ~ ' See me tomorrow, i would answer that question and others, i'm not feeling well,' with a curious nod, she walked away hesitantly , i supposed.

Fourth Scene ~ I am sitting on my fluffy seat, because there is an extra foam cushion on top of it, hehe..for the sake of having a therapeutic working environment...really? just the seat is therapeutic, but the table is chaotic.
Never mind that, i was beginning to reminisce what happened last year during teacher's day. For the first time in my life, i am beginning to feel really grateful to the Almighty for showing me unexpected way of becoming a teacher or educator supposedly.
My Ex therapeutic office

Straight up, Being a teacher was never my planned since i was a kid. I always wanted to be a (im scared to admit) singer or celebrity , because i was blinded by the glitz and glamor of rich and famous.Haha! 
Deep inside, i always felt that i am not eligible of being one because i believed being a teacher does mean that one has to be perfect all the time, which im really horrible at that area, honestly.

On My first phase of being a teacher, i always told myself that this career is temporary, just for fun finding experience , but years went by, i am starting to fall madly in love with this career more and more. It was something so out of the world for me at first to admit i am liking what i am doing for real. So, i never looked back ,even with a less salary compared to other educators at my place, i was working my heart out, i'd rather sleep at school than at home, that's how i married my job. I am full with passion and enthusiasm . I dont really care what people would say, slander , i just did it my own way, and i am really proud of what i have achieved. I have few friends that i met along the way, helping me creating the whole new me, someone i thought have died long time ago. And here comes the most important part : the most responsible people that making me loving this career tremendosuly is absolutely my :

DRUM ROLLS 

STUDENTS.



2008 - 2011 students, They changed my Life in a very beautiful, special and Unique ways.
every one of them is exceptional.

Students always said, teachers inspired them, dont they know that how teacher can inspire them is actually based on how they inspired their teachers directly or indirectly.

As for me, i got inspired by them everyday ..

Last scene ~ The next day. I answered the question
To all my students, THIS IS MY ANSWER :

"What inspires me is the ability I have to make a great change, to make a difference and here is how I am trying to do that for my students.
I believe students are willing to discover and apply new information if it is presented in an interesting, challenging and relevant way. I strive as an educator to apply rigorous teaching methods across a broad range of informative, innovative, and interactive assignments. I will structure my classroom in ways that take into consideration students' diversity, as a class, as learners, and as individuals, and encourage collaboration and active learning experiences, Help me make this a reality".

Not a fan....................Fan to be in the Future!

Why not a fan?
I am....
Here's the Thing. I understand the benefits.
Is it important to blog? I am not a big fan of blogging, per-se, but because everybody has told me I need to do it, I do it...

On a second thought,
I am just realizing that in blogging,if your heart's not in it, then your lack of enthusiasm will come across to your readers.Regarding what sort of content to put on my blog, that's another haywire deal i have to deal with,why don't i write about something i am passionate about? It needn't be navel-gazing or necessarily a rant i guess. So, i am looking at other blogs and work out what it is about them that i like. Are they funny, pithy, informative, contain good images, or have an interesting design? ,really a pain in the neck to insert all of these elements in my blog, nevertheless, i think this probably will help me find my voice. Haha!! I am still a novice in blogging world..hopefully this blog will teach me the real meaning of perseverance and who knows that blogging will be my new favourite hobby or addiction.

P/s :But I'd also stress that blogging is a long-term option. Arghhh!!!! Lol

Owh, i always felt like a spiderweb or spider when it comes to blogging..thats wha the picture all about
