In the name of Allah the most gracious, the ever merciful.
Praise be to Allah, the lord of the worlds and peace and blessings be upon the last prophet, Muhammad, sollallahu alaihi wasallam. Alhamdulillahi rabbil álamin for the wonderful gift of life that Allah has presented me, my family and my cirlce of friends. Not forgetting the bountiful rizk and mercy He has showered me this very moment, I thank Allah for everything He has presented me with, truly He is the most merciful.
It's been four weeks since I started working in a school and it has been challenging. Many things have happened and I have, several times, thought of quitting. If it wasn't the fact that the school needed extra hands with the kids, I think I would really rather stay at home, spending time with the family. Anyhow, Allah knows best and therefore, I am, up till now, still teaching in SMK Taman Seraya.
It was not really something to celebrate when I got to know that I was switched to the afternoon session to teach the peralihan class. not that it was something bad or anything, just that I do not have the motivation to teach other subject other than English. ICT was something, but peralihan is another different thing. Some of the kids do not even understand Bahasa Melayu.
I do not know how many times the thought of handing in the letter of resignation crossed my mind. Seriously. I am thinking of this Friday, the letter should at least be finished written. Only then, I can have peace of mind. I cannot do all this. without the prior knowledge, the weight of being the class teacher and managing the exam papers are just too much.
O Allah guide me.
No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah - 57:22

white rose breathes love.
In the name of Allah,
So I was looking through my graduation photos and the photos I took from the short trip to New Zealand, I realized that, wow, I took great pictures. Well, of course, this would not be true without Allah's mercy and kindness. Alhamdulillah. More importantly, I've been looking for white roses and had never found one in my 23 years of living. Praise Allah, I managed to find one over at the Botanical Garden. So, Imma share this photo with you guys, always keeping in mind, how magnificent this creation of Allah is. SubahanAllah :)

the first for January '13
In the name of Allah the ever most gracious, the most merciful.
Yes, it has been a while. Not that I have been doing anything, really. Simply because there is nothing much happening, I do not have the urge to write. Today was a big day though. It was my first day a as replacement teacher at SMK Taman Seraya. This school is just 5 minutes drive from home minus the traffic of course. But that is not the thing to be stressed here. I AM TEACHING BIG KIDS, and that's something new.
Well, initially I thought that teaching the older children would not be as hard as teaching the wee ones. Yelah, older children are more familiar with the schooling system that they could easily follow what's been told to them. And so I thought. Haha. But anyhow, it was a great experience today. My first ever. InshAllah better days ahead.
To tell ya the truth, it is not about the money that comes with working. I mean, it is not as if I need the money. I felt that it was better to just stay at home all day but after a month of doing so, it definitely was not a good idea. I started to get all lazy and was stuffing myself like there's no tomorrow. Soon, it was very difficult to leave the house, even to usrahs. So, I think that this is a good change to my current, very-unhealthy lifestyle.
Coming into a new environment is not in my favourite things-to-do list. Of course it's because of the fuss that we have to go through. Meeting new people, making new acquaintances, getting to know the environment, understanding the system. And of course being the new person, one will definitely get bullied. Oh I forgot to tell that, even before my first day, on the day I went to the school to send my form, I was being called and semi-forced to become one of the coming voting officers. One thing I did not see coming but I said yes cause I was in such a sticky situation. Takpa lah, Allah knows best, doesn't He? :)
It's this belief system of Islam that keeps me calm and running, living this not-so-smooth life. The beautiful concept that allows us to be in the stage of utter peace and content. Alhamdulillah.
Allahu Rabbi, thank you for allowing me to be amongst those who understand. Drift me not from this rightful path of Yours. Ya muqallibal qulub, tsabbit qalbi ála deenik.
