Kempen 3S

Kempen 3S. Baru lagi rasanya kempen ini. Tak pernah nampak lagi di mana-mana. Kali pertama nampak di Plaza Tol Elmina (Elmina ke nama tempat tu, saya tak pasti) di Lebuhraya Guthrie pagi tadi tatkala dalam perjalanan pulang ke Sitiawan. 3S. Ada 3 huruf S. Huruf S itu semua mewakili apa? 3S itu mewakili Senyum, Salam dan Sabar. Yang pastinya saya pon tak tahu ape gunanya kempen 3S itu. Tapi Jaja dan saya telah mengenal pasti bila seseorang itu boleh mengaplikasikan konsep 3S dengan baik.

Antaranya ialah:

Situasi pertama: Anda berjalan-jalan bersama si laki ini (bf) atau si gadish (gf) di mana-mana kompleks membeli-belah atau sedang melihat-lihat pameran perkahwinan yang diadakan Mid Valley Exhibition Centre bersama si laki ini atau si gadish atau apa-apa yang anda lakukan bersama si laki ini atau si gadish la. Tak kesah la. Kemudiannya, anda berdua terserempak dengan laki itu (exbf) si gadish atau terserempak dengan gadish lama (exgf) si laki ini. Jangan kaget. Amalkan 3S. Mula-mula anda senyum, kemudian salam, dan bersabarlah. Yang lepas tu lepaslah. Kenangan yang ada kita biarkan ia berlalu pergi.

Situasi kedua: Anda sedang berjalan bersorangan atau bersama-sama rakan anda. Berlibur-libur senang hati bergelak ketawa. Kemudian anda ternampak laki ini anda bersama gadis lain atau si gadish anda bersama laki lain. Jangan kaget. Amalkan konsep 3S. Mula-mula anda senyum, kemudian anda salam si gadish lain itu atau si laki lain itu dan bersabarlah. Ujian tu namanya. Jangan minta penjelasan di situ. tunjukkan kulnes rilek chill anda. Kendian nanti baru mintak penjelasan.

Situasi ketiga: Anda sedang berjalan-jalan dengan laki lain atau gadish lain. Berlibur-libur senang hati bergelak ketawa. Kemudian anda ternampak laki ini anda bersama gadis lain atau si gadish anda bersama laki lain. Laki ini anda dan si gadish anda turut ternampak anda bersama orang lain. Jangan kaget. Amalkan konsep 3S. Mula-mula anda senyum, kemudian salam dan bersabarlah. Jangan marah dia dengan pasangan lain, anda tu pon dah kantoi sebab keluar dgn orang lain.

Situasi keempat: Anda sedang berjalan bersorangan atau bersama-sama rakan anda. Berlibur-libur senang hati bergelak ketawa. Kemudian anda ternampak laki ini anda bersama laki lain atau si gadish anda bersama gadish lain. Berpegangan tangan, berpaut tangan di bahu atau pun berlingkaran tangan di pinggang. Jangan kaget. Amalkan konsep 3S. Mula-mula anda senyum, kemudian anda salam si gadish lain itu atau si laki lain itu dan bersabarlah. Ujian tu namanya. Jangan minta penjelasan di situ. tunjukkan kulnes rilek chill anda. Kendian nanti baru mintak penjelasan. Ataupun tinggalkan je laki ini anda atau si gadish anda. Tak patut dia adakan hubungan dengan mereka yang sesama jantina.

Itu antaranya lah. Kalau-kalau ada lagi situasi yang anda rasakan boleh amalkan konsep 3S ni, sila la amalkan. Senang saja. Mudah. Tak susah kan kan. 3S. Senyum, Salam dan Sabar.

Grammar Game, rules! Blackie, died.

Co-curricular activity was on so I stayed in for some extra hours in school today. During English Language Society, we did this grammar game which requires the students to answer all 20 questions, and really, I found some of the questions are really hard especially when you need to think on your feet. That’s me saying that. Just imagine those questions need to be answered by 9-11 year-olds.

Here goes.

Name two fruits that begin with ppapaya and pineapple (easy peasy!)

Name two vegetables that begin with c – cabbage and chillies (Ok, I only managed to think of chillies but they managed to think of capsicum.)

The opposite of rich – poor, deep – shallow, heavy – light (easyyyyy..)

How many are there in a dozen – twelve ( I had to explain what a dozen is to a pair of 11 year-olds. ‘If you have twelve apples, it means that you have a dozen of apples. So how many apples are there in a dozen?’ *stare right back at you* And only after repeating the same things about five times, that they get the point. My fault? No? Yes?)

What you would buy at a florist’s – flowers (easy……), an ironmonger’s……………………………. (OK, to tell you the truth, I waited for the teachers to give the answer, and I tried to avoid students who ask about ironmonger. Logically, it is something like fishmonger, fishmonger sells fish so ironmonger sells things made of iron. But, you know that English is a funny language that one goose, two geese but not one choose, two cheese. And yes, ironmonger is a person who sells things made of iron.)

How many eyes you close when you winkone. (I needed to wink like 8 times before they get the point that when you wink, only one eye is closed.)

Who would use a briefcaselawyer, businessman, a whistlereferee, police traffic.

What animal lives in a nestbirds (obviously) a kennel dog (OK , I did asked Wani what a kennel is. Lupa lah, bukan tak tau.)

Three words that rhyme with buymy, die, cry

Two things found in the kitchenfork and spoon (that’s considered one actually, they are cutleries) and plates, bathroom soap and sponge (but you get sponge in the kitchen as well, don’t you?), bedroompillow and, errr, bed.

What would you keep in a wardrobeclothes, accesorries.

Five things you can drinkwater, fruit juice, hot drinks, soda, smoothies ( I took a longer time to think of smoothies. During the session, a pair managed to group mango juice into fruit juice, when all five drinks that I’ve listed were orange, mango, apple, watermelon juices. Haha.)

Five things you can eat rice, fruits, chicken, meat, vegetables.

Synonym for unhappysad, startbegin, departleave.

Name four wild animalstiger, lion, elephant, hippopotomus

Name four insectsbutterfly, dragon fly, fly, beetles. (I managed to think of those end with -fly, but they came up with grasshopper and praying mantis and what not.)

Name three things worn by menpants, tie, shirt, womendress, skirt, blouse (A boy answered ‘bra’ and I forced him to rub that off and to think of another one. Luckily he came up with ‘scarf’. Naughty!)

Which sport uses a rackettennis, badminton.

Five verbs that begin with tthink, tear, talk, take, tie (I was stuck at the third one, and I took two of the answers from the discussion)

Five adjectives that begin with ssmelly, short, *thinking* slow, smooth *thinking* stout (maybe ‘single’ should be put on to my list. You know, as in ‘single lady’. Bahaha.)

Not bad, huh? Feel free if you wanna use the same activity in your class. Or maybe for an activity during ELS session.

And today, I punished a boy for punching another boy’s eye. Lucky it wasn’t that bad and timed out was given as well as a total ignorance of his existence at the back of the classroom.

Huks.

Plus, Blackie, the goldfish at home, died. Out of thirst. Or maybe he felt out of place, because he’s black and the others are gold. Depressed and killed himself by holding his breath until he drowned.

Huks.

And now, I’m feeling a slight headache, been sneezing non stop and mucus is filling up my nose.

Huks.

It’s been a long day. Later ya.

Miss or Teacher?

Practicum starts next week. I’m not really sure of my feelings right now. Nervous? Yes, pretty much. Excited? Yeah. It’s a mixture of feelings, you see. One minute I am confident and the other I’ll be nervous and not knowing what to expect. I have not done the necessary shopping. I’m too lazy to get it done. Maybe it’s because I am shopping for stationeries instead and not new clothes, shoes or bags. Haha. I’ll get it done tomorrow right after the briefings.

Starting from next week onwards, I will have an extra accessory to be worn with my baju kurung and tudung. No, it’s not a bracelet and definitely not a ring (I am not entitled to a Pn. right in front of my name yet, haha). It’s a name tag, everyone. Yes, the one which is black with your name written in white. I have two of my name done. One that says ‘Fazlin’ and the other which says ‘Fazlin Farieza’. I am not sure which one should I wear on the first day. Fazlin? Or Fazlin Farieza? Small thing you see. But when you don’t know what to expect, small things can make you contemplate even more. Haha.

Maybe I should get another one done. The one that says ‘Farieza’. :-p

There’s one more thing that still left us wondering. Which group of students will we be teaching. On Monday, the teacher who came to IPBA said that it maybe Year 4 or Year 5. However, a friend of mine has texted the teacher in charge and she said that maybe we will either teach Year 1 or Year 3 or Year 5. Wow. Year 1? I have been wanting to teach Year 1 for ages. They can be naughty and smelly from all the sweating and have drools and mucus and what not all over their face but they are too cute most of the times. I also prefer young learners than older ones. I think I don’t have the patience to teach 11 year-olds. Well, maybe I can volunteer to teach Year 1. Why not? We’ll see next week.

How can anyone resist if the 7 year-olds are cute like this?

So, should I asked them to call me Miss Fazlin? Or Teacher Fazlin? Miss? Teacher? Miss lah.

Calling You

There’s something that I can’t quite explain
I’m so in love with you
You’ll never take that away
And if I’ve said it a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You’ll never take that away

Well expect me to be
Calling you to see
If you’re OK when I’m not around
Asking “if you love me”
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile

[Chorus]
I will keep calling you to see
If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming
If you’re dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can’t believe you actually picked me

I thought that the world had lost it’s sway
It’s so hard sometimes
Then I fell in love with you
Then came you
And you took that away
It’s not so difficult
The world is not so difficult
You take away the old
Show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I’m on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I’ll take the words you gave me and send them back to you

I only want to see
If you’re OK when I’m not around
Asking “if you love me”
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile

[Chorus]
