Orange

Took this picture while I was on the way sending Adnin to school. Subhanallah...The sun looked so beautiful and huge as I drove further up...I was actually on leave today...it was because???? I haven't finish marking my mid-term essay examination papers, need to work hard as my weekends are going to be full with another trip - to Cameron Highlands :p my head hurts too! Feel like banging it on the wall...yeay! I've already finished marking 2 classes of essays... and I got 2 classes more to go...wish me luck!

Back to reality

School has started today and my life is back to normal. My days will be hectic again. Well, that's the life of a secondary school teacher like me. You have to cope with the ridiculous workload as well as the behaviour of teenagers which will get into your nerves. Not to forget, the house chores and being a mother too. I hope I will not collapse. Yes, life is like a box of chocolates. Indeed it is, sometimes it's dark, bitter and sweet...it can be full of surprises.
In the end,I know I will survive :) I just have to stay positive. Oh I really can't wait for the next school holiday and it will fall on Eid Mubarak. Hope to get more rest then.

Adnin's latest craze....

a year older

   I was a year older on Thursday, 29 March 2012. Well, while I was teaching in class, suddenly I received a sad news about a friend's mom who passed away on the same day at about 5 a.m. from my hubby. Condolences to you Bam and Mia. The day seemed so gloomy. I get so melancholy. I couldn't be happier even though I'd been getting birthday wishes from colleagues and students. Also a few wishes from text messaging and Facebook on timeline, well not forgetting from Instagram too. Talking about the birthday wishes on Facebook.... fuh... I received approximately about 167 messages! I could only write the replies today and I actually replied to each and everyone of my friends who had wished me. Wow...I felt so touched by the messages and how thoughtful of them to had wished me.

   And I also received a phone call from an ex-student of STAR Klang. I was so surprised to get the call because he normally gave a text message on my birthday. To tell you the truth...he never failed to wish me for the past 9 years after I moved to Penang. He was 14 back then. How thoughtful of you Levin. He's now a 3rd year Medical student and is studying in HUKM. He seemed to be so matured and well spoken. I used to remember him always disturbing my English class and interrupting  my lessons with his jokes and 'I know everything' attitude! hahaha...those were the days...I hope to meet him one day when I go back down south.

Here are the pictures of the birthday presents I received....

birthday macaroons from Aisyah

a special toiletry bag from Aisyah too

a surprised chicken rice from Mr.B which he adapted from Donna Hay's recipe he watched on AXN Beyond 

iPanama slippers from my sis, Lurve which she bought from Adelaide

I also received presents from my MIL and SIL and also birthday cards specially made by my kids... the first one is from Aqeel and the next one is from 'Adnin. Thank you everybody!
