New Moon
ok. so i’m doing the thing that i always do but try to avoid. yea.
i have like, tons, of work to do. presentations that was not my idea to begin with not to mention my lesson plans. had 2 days holiday and now, on 7.20pm of the last day, i’ve decided to stop procrastinating. well, after i’m done with this post. Heee~spent the last 2 days catching up on my reading.
IT. WAS. WONDERFUL. (what can i say? i’m a geek. 
) i read a lot and somehow, i even managed to re-read New Moon. one thing lead to another, and i’m suddenly wikipedia-ing it. and then i found him and i just have to say..
duh-roool~ don cha think?? saw the trailer, and i can’t wait! 20th November!! mark it!! ok, calming down now. because knowing my luck, the movie could turn out to be a total bore.
730pm. here is where i stop. gots work to do. :s
an old love.
haven’t been online lately. i blame the internet connection. or lack of it rather. then again kan, macam there’s not really much to update you guys on. life is pretty much the same thing: mundane. been wathching a lot of movies, tho. so far none of the movies have disapponted me. oh, and because little brother has a new addiction to the series friends, i’ve been watching ‘em as well.
i suppose the latest obsession that i’m goin through right now is travelling. Scotland to be precise. eversince my cousin, Abg Long, went there i had this weird fasination about it the cold highland country. hehehehe. as a kid, (i think i was 10) i wanted to go to UK but didn’t have a specific place where in UK. i figured since i have ‘connection’ there, Scotland is where i’d wanna go. theres snow there. so good enough. it didn’t occur to me that by the time i had enough kaching, Abg Long would’ve been loooong gone. hahahaha.. i felt like it just wasn’t meant to be. i wanted to, but didn’t really think much about it. then came form 5, where i had developed an interest in romance novels (or porn books, as B calls ‘em). The Bride by Julie Garwood was the first book ever. the burning love between a Scottish Laird and an English woman. that was probably the first time i blush while reading. 
suddenly, i was back in love with Scotland. imagining beautiful, untamed land. with lochs the wind nudge ripples into and open moorland expanses covered with grass. the grandeur of the highlands. *sighing wistfully* i’ve decided that its high time that i vist my old love. i finally have the $$ 
so far the plan is to visit next year. hopefully, dapat cuti awal.
its going to be a month long vacation. a week in Scotland, 2 weeks or so around europe (France, Italy and Spain) then a few days in UK. well, i’ve only obsessed to that point. a friend told me $6K should be enough. what do you think? also, any tips or places i should go?
btw, rnBs UK, you can bet your ass that i’ll be seeing you. (where else would i stay? :angel: )will msg/email you with full details as soon as its confirmed. hahahaha. iski, much?
a new beginning
ok, so, it has been a very hectic past few days. i knew i had my work cut out for me as soon as the school holidays were over. i was suppose to prepare questions for the upcoming test my students are going to go through one week after coming back. i was supposed to revise with them AND i had an induction to go to on the very day we came back. yes, i was going to be suoer busy but i was all “BRING IT ON!! \m/ YEA!!”
….i went too far..
so anyway, on the first day back, i had prepared the question papers, collected from the others, got it approved and made sure it on its way to the printing room. i also revised with all on my classes that day AND prepared lessons for the next two weeks. (impressed?) but then.. in the afternoon during the induction, i went through my first WTF?? shock of the year. the induction was all about our posting. it is official. we are no longer unemployed/ just a releif teacher. we are now Education Officers. eseh… i feel proud saying that..
stranger: “are you a teacher?”
me: “no. i’m an education officer.” *puffs out chest* belabih..
there were 3 speakers and it was the 2nd speaker who provided the WTF?? moment: we were starting the very next day. for once, the neurons worked! faster even! sal i woked up as soon as i heard. “..??? esuk?? tomorrow??” fortunately, since i have been teaching for the past couple o months, i wasn’t as nervous. however, it was the fact that i was posted to the polar opposite (in every imaginable way) that got me all “INDA!! NO!! u can’t make me!!” *guling2 di lantai*
oh, man. the first day i reported fot duty on my new school, i was downright scared. i acted like i just knew i was going to be mugged, holding my bag against my chest. (Bruneians shopping overseas, you know what i mean.. )but by teh end of the second day, i felt myself relax. the fact that i didn’t have anything to do and spent almost the entire time in the air-conditioned staffroom helped. i even finished reading Sophie Kinsella’s remember me? (note: never do anything that has the potential to make you cry in front of strangers your new collegues on the second day. they might think you’re a weirdo/ an emo and its waay to early for them to know that)
ayah was helpful. being a very experienced teacher (he was a teacher even before i was born) he imparted some of his wisdom. he was a discipline teacher. i remember how most of the student body respected (feared? hehehe..) him yet the students he taught never feared him. in fact, they actually got along.. even until now his ex-students would tagur him after graduating for so long. he definately helped calmed down some nerves.
which brings us today, the third day. i’ve programmed myself to stop comparing and accept it all. the sooner i do, the sooner i can enjoy. with that in mind, i was a bit iski. i finally have my own table. so i decided to make it more.. me. :p
soo.. what do ya think? today was a bit more productive. i usai-ed my table. i gathered some notes, observed a class and attended an adobe photoshop workshop, which will be added in to my 1oo hours.. (still murky on that one. care to explain someone?)
guess atu saja for now. till next time.
-fauz
ps: oh! oh! oh! NKOTB are back!! dunno why i’m this excited.. they’re more of kakalong’s generation.. :p (i love you, kalong..)
then
now. they got hot.. -er.. think that’s why.. hehehe.. bah. atu sja.. i’ve got some youtube-ing to do.
bangas..
that is how i feel about posting lately. it feels like everytime i wanna blog an event, it turned out it happened weeks ago where most, if not all (hey, brunei IS small) people knew about it already. my posts are not only old news, they’re considered classic. hahaha.. ok, over. but yea.
there’s only one word that can pretty much sum up my life right now: tiring. hahaha. i know. i’ve said it once,i’l say it again! i’m TAIYOOOD!! honestly, i don’t feel it most of the time. i actually like going around the room explaining to my students eventhough the speed is constant, the velocity is changing (circular motion). i feel immensely satisfied seeing them going from *toink* *toink,toink* to “ahhhhhh.. i geddit!!” its afterwards that i feel drained. especially after teaching one particular class who does not wanna learn. more than once was i tempted to just not care. i mean, they’re the ones who’s going to fail. not me. sapa suruh inda mau pay attention? but… then i’d feel guilty. my job is to make them understand, no matter how boring. or maybe its just karma. i wasn’t exactly the perfect student myself.
i knew it was gonna come around and bite me in the ass..
more old news: my batch was called in last week for an interview regarding a more permanent job. i think because i knew the interview was almost the same as the one i did for my current job, i was not as nervous as i should be. i was focusing more on trying not to kusut. i actually had fever the day before. you know the kusut feeling? the one where everything just feels so wrong?? you don’t know what but you just know. everything is either too hot or too cold? and since you can’t do anything about it, you have this huge tendency to kusut/whine? ….yea. i was going through that. it was not fun. thankfully, the interview went well. Alhamdulillah.
other agenda that keeps reminding me that i’m getting older, is my friend, Mala, who got engaged last nite. so,
CONGRATULATIONS TO
SITI NORMALA HAJI AWANG DAMIT & MD. SYAZWAN HAJI ABU BAKAR
who got engaged last night. May Allah bless you both and sampai ke jinjang pelamin.
there are pictures, but i cant seem to find ’em right now. heh. sorry. will most them when i have the time. gots to go now. have lessons to plan.
salaam, pujiah..
Al-Fatihah.
B’s grandmother passed away today.
innalillahhiwainnalillahhi rajiun…
my condolences to the family. *hugs*
Al-Fatihah…
hear ye, hear ye~
sigh. finally, a moment of peace. i haven’t been able to blog lately. suddenly, my boring/peaceful life was brought to a halt becaaaaaause (drumroll please..)
I GOT A JOB!! !! YAY!! ….Alhamdulillah..
i got the relief teaching job. i am now a physics teacher at my old alma mater. i’m still unsure how i feel about that due to obvious reasons but i am grateful that i am now earning $$. woohoo~ the first step of my future is well on its way. i know teaching can be stressful, especially if your heart is not into it,i think i have my moments. the only thing that is bringing me down is my laziness. i have this huge tendency to procrastinate and end up doing my work at the last possible minute which in turn, would result in a poor teaching job :s that has happened in more that one occasion durng my teaching practice. :p
actually, the more recent example would’ve been yesterday. i just spent the whole friday relaxing. the plan was to catch up on my lesson plans but instead, i caught up on my reading and not to mention sleep. i know. not exactly the best time but i did it anyway. since day one there has been loads of changes like, my sleeping schedule. i can no longer afford to be nocturnal. i mean, i have to be in school before 7.15am. ugh.
and B. 
the one good thing that came out of being unemployed is that i get to spend the time with my boyfriend. anytime, morning, afternoon and nights, 7 days a week at any time of the day AND night. sigh. but since i started work, i only saw him twice this week. however, i’m mollified for now. just spent about 5 hours with him today. hehehehehehe.
i will obviously keep blogging because well,if everyone is too busy to hear me talk, at least they can read me.
ciao~ xoxo
