EVER BEAT ANYBODY WITH YOUR BARE HANDS?
Salam and good day.
EVER BEAT ANYBODY WITH YOUR BARE HANDS?
many times.... I wish.
I say... I wish because I view myself as being evolved and civilized. As someone who is able to put her primal reaction under control and put into action her reflective reaction.
But... Sometimes I find my reflective reactions quite unsatisfactory. I would like to think that it is because... Deep inside me lies a warrior... A warrior who craves the physical satisfaction of a primal reaction.
To quote Candice Bergen in ' Boston Legal' ' I certainly believe in evolution. Who here among us while watching the presidential debate could deny that we all come from monkeys.' Haha... Spoken like a true lawyer.
Today... I shall try to satisfy the warrior inside me.... Without any pain.

the patung says... I AM A GURU BAHASA
Salam and good day.
We meet again. this month is a bit hectic... even though it is our three months semester break... most of us Guru Bahasa (Language Teachers)... not lecturers... big difference there... anyway... Guru Bahasa have to teach semester 0... which started as soon as the term ended. so... no break for us...
On top of that... most of us are also involved in developing the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) module, Get Into Grammar programme etc. why is it always the same bunch of people ie; language teachers that are asked to do all the work... where are the lecturers? They have 3 months of free time since they do not have to teach semester 0... so... what are they doing? why aren't they involved in all the programmes? why is it always us Language Teachers.
Is it because they are lecturers and I am a Guru Bahasa? Lecturers do not teach diploma students because their qualifications are higher than a guru bahasa? seriously? I can accept that, if all lecturers are Phd holders, but most of them are not... the have a masters degree... well ... so do I... the only difference is that they are lecturers... they have less teaching hours to give room for them to do research... so they say... therefore... less teaching hours and more pay... whereas a guru bahasa gets more ( a lot more) teaching hours... and still they want us to do reasearch... most guru bahasa have around 14 - 20 teaching hours per semester... and we are also subject coordinators, we have to handle projects like... Reading Circle Programme, GIG Programme and a few others which I cant remember. If all these are done by Guru Bahasa... why do we need to have lecturers? They don't do anything anyway.
I dont mind the teaching load... I am a Guru Bahasa after all... we are supposed to have more teaching time than lecturers... and more teaching hours means less time to do research. which is fair... because.. I love teaching... but I do not like to do research.... and doing research for the sake of fulfilling our KPI? ... no quality?... just quantity?
Hence, now... ... there is really no difference between a Guru Bahasa and a lecturer... we are forced to do research, have publications, become subject coordinators, project leaders... whereas some lecturers are not even subject coordinators... not involved in research... still they have less teaching hours and more pay.
Like I said, I love teaching... that is why I became a language teacher. If I wanted to do research, I would have become a researcher instead. So there!

THE BLACK SUPERMAN... no more.
.
Terkejut dan sedih dengan berita kematian lagenda boxing Muhammad Ali.
Saya masih ingat sewaktu saya masih di sekolah rendah... Sekitar tahun 70an... Setiap kali Muhammad Ali berlawan... Semua akan terpaku di harapan kaca TV... Melihat siaran langsung perlawanan melalui kaca TV hitam putih... Siaran langsung melalui Satellite Bumi di Kuantan. Ada yang ambil cuti... Ada yang ponteng kerja dan sekolah semata2 untuk melihat Muhammad Ali bertarung. Seluruh bandar akan lengang seperti Kuala Lumpur sewaktu cuti hari raya... LOL.
Yang paling mengujakan adalah perlawanan Muhammad Ali vs Joe Bugner di Kuala Lumpur pada tahun 1975. Seluruh Bandar sunyi tanpa pergerakan... Mungkin pencuri juga pada waktu itu terpaku dihadapan TV menonton Ali vs Bugner. Teringat lagi waktu itu, duduk dihadapan TV bersama arwah ayah dan arwah abang serta beberapa orang jiran dan anak- anak mereka yang datang menonton dirumah saya. Sangat teruja dan bangga kerana pertarungan hebat itu berlangsung di Kuala Lumpur.
Saya sebenarnya langsung tidak meminati sukan boxing. Dari dulu sampai sekarang, saya tak pernah meminati sukan boxing. Jadi, kenapa saya begitu teruja setiap kali Muhammad Ali turun ke gelanggang? Surely not because of his boxing skills since I know nothing about boxing.
Bila difikirkan semula... Saya yakin sebahagian besar daya tarikannya pada saya terletak pada nama muslimnya... Muhammad Ali. .. I'm Ali. Catch me if you can... Katanya. dan juga kerana dia cantik dipandang... Langsung tiada kaitan dengan boxing skills nya... LOL
Hari ini, tertutuplah satu chapter kenangan zaman kanak- kanak- saya. So sad.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.
The black SUPERMAN has left us forever.
Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. May Allah bless your soul.
RAMADHAN KAREEM TO ALL MUSLIMS.
CITA- CITA
Salam and good day.
Minggu lepas... Dalam perjalanan ke tempat kerja... Mendengar celoteh Sepahtu Sinar. Tajuknya... Cita-cita sewaktu kecil..ie: sekolah rendah. Kata mereka... Waktu itu kalau disuruh tulis mahu jadi apa bila dewasa... Pasti semua akan tulis ... Doktor, lawyer atau engineer.
Ya... Memang benar. Waktu disekolah rendah... Memang itulah cita2 yang top three... Kemudian baru diikuti oleh profesion lain... kira2 mainstreamlah...
Saya juga tak terkecuali dari phenomena ini... Cuma tak terlalu mainstream... Cita2 saya waktu itu... #1 lawyer, #2 guru... # 3 ... Kosong. Doktor memang saya tak berminat Dan engineer pula... Waktu itu saya tak tahu pun engineer itu apa... LOL. Maka saya tulis dua sahaja... Tak begitu mainstream kan... Hehe...
Yang saya minati pada waktu itu sebenarnya... Astronomy Dan linguistics... Saya memang dari kecil suka belajar tentang bahasa... Maka sekarang saya seorang guru bahasa. Dan jika saya tak jadi guru... Besar kemungkinan saya akan memilih profession jururawat. Saya suka profession yang melibatkan interaksi. Sebab itu... Ada satu ketika saya bercita2 untuk menjadi seorang pramugari... Hehe.
Dan kerana saya suka berinteraksi, harapan saya... Bila bersara... Saya boleh menjadi sukarelawan dalam misi kemanusiaan... Sebab itu saya memilih untuk bersara pada usia 56 Dan bukan 60. Semoga waktu itu saya masih punya tenaga untuk menjadi sukarelawan.
Sebelum terlupa, saya ingin mengucapkan SELAMAT HARI GURU Dan SELAMAT HARI JURURAWAT buat semua warga pendidik Dan jururawat.
May God bless you.

WOW...
Salam.
Tiada apa yang penting yang mahu saya tulis, cuma sudah lama tidak melawat blog saya ini... Maka saya terpanggil untuk mencoret sesuatu walaupun kecil.
Pagi semalam... Saya mendengar Sepahtu Sinar dalam kereta , ada kumpulan Radja. Bagusnya... Saya memang suka kumpulan Radja... Ini kumpulan dari Indonesia yang paling saya minati... Sama lah macam Shuib... LOL...
Paling menarik dengar ketiga2 mereka menyanyi bersama Radja... OK juga suara mereka... Tapi suara vokalis kumpulan Radja memang WOW...tak boleh ditandingi... Sangat sexy suaranya.
Haha... Itulah main point saya sebenarnya... Suara vokalis Radja sangatlah sexy. OK. Jumpa lagi lain kali.
Saya share lagu yang paling saya suka... Enjoy....

STARRY NIGHT .... a kind of magic
https://www.google.com/
Salam and good day.
Its nearly the middle of December, and the weather is still unseasonably warm... with the occasional rain once or twice a week, except for the wind... which is common during this monsoon season. The Northeast wind which usually announces its arrival with the rain knocking at our doorsteps seems to have misplaced its companion somewhere along its journey towards the Southwest. But I have no doubt that the rain will come eventually... hopefully not with a vengeance.
Tonight is a particularly windy night. The air is chilly and the sky is overcast... with the promise of rain. Tonight,,, there are no stars to be seen ... but that,s okay, because last night has more than made up for tonight's lack of twinkle,
Last night... the sky was beautiful... clear... cloudless ... covered with stars... scattered with constellations... I'm quite sure I saw Orion there... and some other constellations which I do not recognize. Seeing diamonds in the sky and being visited by Orion was cosmic but what was even more awe inspiring was that i saw a shooting star... twice..
I have never seen a shooting star before .... so imagine how shocked I was when i suddenly saw a streak of light disappearing behind my roof. My first thought was... I must be a plane... but planes have blinking lights... then I thought maybe it was the remnant of a firework... but i didn't hear any firework sounds. so.. I gazed up into the sky... contemplating on whether that was a shooting star I just saw, at the same time, mesmerized by the three stars forming Orion's belt... when suddenly another streak of light appeared across the sky. WOW!!!... So... it was a shooting star that I saw. It was divinely majestic. It was awe inspiring. It lifted my spirits... I could actually physically feel my spirits being lifted higher... I felt hopeful all of a sudden. That was the most wonderful thing I have ever seen in my entire life... well... actually, that was the second most wonderful thing I have ever seen. The first? I will tell you about it... in the next post... really I will... i just can't promise when.
Eh?... what was the question again? What was I doing outside at nearly eleven o'clock at night? Oh... it was my grandson... he said he felt hot and sweaty so... he wanted to wash his body... translated... he wants to run around splashing water all over the place ... though he did stood beside me... gazing up into the sky... saying... I love the stars ... before continuing his spree... and I chose not to burden his three year old mind with philosophy at that moment.
It's funny how a streak in the sky which lasted not more than two seconds made me feel hopeful.
ps: sorry this post is a bit wordy. Too sleepy to upload pics ... :-D
anyway ... this is what I need...
QUEEN - A KIND OF MAGIC
THE BOOK OF LIFE - chapter 49
salam and good day,
2015 membawa saya ke chapter 49. Sudah 3 tahun saya bergelar nenek... :-D .Tak banyak yang berlaku...kehidupan agak sibuk dengan kerja, dengan cucu dan sekali sekala saya memetik gitar... memetik gitar selalu membuat saya tenang....seringkali saya terkenangkan arwah abang sayaa yang mengajar saya bermain gitar waktu umur saya belasan tahun dulu... sudah 16 tahun dia pergi ... dan tahun ini juga merupakan tahun ke 20 arwah suami saya meninggal... selama itu jugalah saya menjalani hidup sebagai single parent. .. such is life,,
Saya teringat pada 21. 10.2015... hampir sebulan yang lalu... saya mendapat wechat dari anak sulong saya, katanya... mama, its 21.10 2015. This is the day Marty Mcfly and Doc came to the future... referring kepada cerita Back to the future 2. Wow... saya masih ingat pertama kali menonton filem Back to the future pada tahun 80an... waktu itu 2015 terasa sangat jauh... Namun sekarang kita sudah sampai ke tahun 2015... bersama Marty mcfly dan kawan baiknya Doc. Ada juga yg agak tepat gambarannya... seperti LCD screen dan phone yang menggunakan touch screen cuma... hoverboard saja masih belum ada... LOL
Abad ke 21 memang merupakan abad information technology. Dengan berbagai2 technology yang muncul... dunia menjadi semakin kecil dan hanya dengan memetik keyboard.. kehidupan peribadi kita boleh d ketahui umum. Privacy is a thing of the past... soooo... last century...
Namun, bagi golongan seperti saya, yang sudah menghampiri angka separuh abad, privacy adalah sesuatu yang amat berharga ... saya telah menjalani kehidupan yang agak mencabar... I have made mistakes, and I survived... maybe even learned from my mistakes. dan biarlah itu semua kekal menjadi rahsia hidup saya.... bukannya saya ingin merahsiakan dari umum... cuma saya ingin menyimpannya untuk diri sendiri saja... tak mengapa kan?
Mungkin juga, sekarang sudah tiba masanya untuk saya menilai semula impian2 yang dulu saya anggap sebagai mustahil. sudah tiba masanya untuk saya mengambil langkah untuk merealisasikan all my impossible dreams... or at least some of them... :-D
ini... lagu tema filem Back to the future... enjoy...
