Humans are troubled as they ask for it,
Life can be good, but most people cannot believe it,
Having a tendency to look at disasters
as if it would have never happened!
Like putting yourself in a bowl of boiling water
is a sign to show that you are not a good manager!
Preparation is undoubtedly needed for
one to get ready to face with the tragedy or happiness!
Hope for the best and beware of the worst
are the keys to unlock the uncertainties!
Possibilities are meant to be expected and
at times they are beyond our imagination!
Use what we have and do what we can,
Never brood over too much about the failures,
Start again if you have stumbled and fallen,
Never reproach yourself for the mistakes done!
There are ways to make this world a better space,
Start from you, yourself...Clean up your soul, Vacuum the dust,
You will be a real man- My dear!

Life is UNFAIR, It has never been FAIR!
Feeling damn down for a moment when i knew that someone's child who was only 16 months old passed away this morning! This was indeed and absolutely a hearbreaking incident, a tremendous horrible fact that has to be faced by force by the poor child's family memebers especailly the parents!
16 months old child is like an Angel,
Pampered by Father and Mother,
Spoilt by Grandparents,
Loved and Doted by Everyone.
This angel must be having milk in her mother's arm,
Crawling and walking unbalancedly, stumble and fall,
Crying and Baby Talking all the while naively trying
to get attention and sympathy.
Sadly...
This child had no more chance to do it!
Sadly...
The parents had no more chance to see and share it!
The laughter and the footprints,
The sounds and the saliva,
The urine and the poo,
The baby smell and the smiles,
The naughty yet creative actions,
All the child had left are memories,
Visualised piece by piece in mind, unbearably!
Sound could still be heard in ears, unforgetably!
All the expectations and dreams for the child have gone!
Hoping the child to be healthy, a Uni grad who was resourceful,
Grown up and got married, contributed to the nation and the citizens, but...
Vanished and disappeared like a ship struck by a rogue wave in pacific ocean,
Destroyed and Devastated like an atomic bomb fell on Hirsohima and Nagasaki in Japan,
So Cruel! So Helpless! So Suffering! But...TRUE!
If i were the parents, i would ask god to replace my life with my child,
granting him a healthy and long life! I supposed the parents did the same
thing as i strongly believe that parents could do everything, or just anything
for their children! The power of love from parents would only be felt and understood
once you have your own flesh and blood!
Since the world is not fair, therefore we have to use what we have and do what we can to brighten up this world by burning other people lives...
So we have to provide fairness and justice to the world where many poor people need it! We give and we share, a simple act yet it gives others warmth and hope!
Friends and students, Let's burn our lives with more passion and love for the people, society, country and the world!
Amitofo to the child, may you rest and peace and may
Buddha leads you to somewhere you belong! God Bless!

BIRTHDAY AGAIN! Hmm...
Time flies way too fast,
It is now my BIG DAY once more,
Frankly, I don't have any kind of
special feeling towards it,
No Great Expectations!
All I know is it is the moment
for me to reflect what i have done
for the past whole year,
Be it spiritual or mental!
Be it sour or sweet!
I need to see through myself,
I need to check the real me,
I need to get to the bottom of it,
I need to search for a path towards greatness,
For my beloved family, students and friends!
Perhaps, i haven't done my best,
Perhaps, i am way too lazy in action,
Perhaps, i am too blurred in many things i do,
Perhaps, i am not being thoughtful and understanding,
I apologize from my inner heart!
Mum, Thanks for giving birth to me,
Mum, Thanks for bringing me up so patiently,
Mum, I appreciate your never ending love that showers me
constantly like a gigantic spotlight that warms my heart and soul,
You never breath a word in taking care of your sons and also your grandson. Thank you and LOVE YOU!
Manager, you have been my backbone all these while,
Manager, you have been the fulcrum in my life as i go through ups and downs,
Manager, you have been doing well as a crucial role in nurturing our prince,
We have gone through thick and thin, the path has not been smooth as expected,
Hand in hand, together we face everything in the years to come. LOVE YOU!
Friends and students are always part and parcel of my life,
Without you, life seems colorless,
Without you, life seems dull and meaningless,
Without you, life seems incomplete,
I appreciate you guys- For sure!
My bday wish is to wish all my family members, friends and students
a very lucky and fruitful future ahead! God Bless All:-)

BEST FRIEND NEVER DIES
I recall the days we had together,
you and i were still small boys the first time we met each other.
We were classmates for twelve years,
Everything you said, i listened with my ears.
We had gone through a number of obstacles,
finally, we are now in a circle.
Our golden times were in secondary school,
we were naughty enough to go against the rules.
Fighting, to us were peanuts,
we were too great that others called us nuts.
I was the laziest, never did homework,
but you were always sitting alone doing microsoft word.
I would go for you whenever i was down,
but you always kept quiet eventhough you had a wound.
I may not know you in and out,
but sometimes i could read your mind when you ask me to help out.
You have a friend whom i hated the most,
that i would even say get lost.
This fellow was just like a stone,
a stupid stone that weighed a tonne.
This stone is now a man,
my relationship with him has mended.
Friend, how time flies, we have been separated,
since the last time we met before july.
I regard you as my very best friend,
i will be your shelter when it rains.
I will cherish you more than ever,
like a bud blooming into a special flower.
Hear me out, BEST FRIEND NEVER DIES!
This poem was dedicatedly written to my friend
many years ago when i was in Varsity. Wish to
Share with all my students or other bloggers...
Happy Reading!

Wait A Moment!
Dedicated to those who are going to FALL IN LOVE
I have been longing to confess my feelings,
I would love you to understand my meaning,
I would never go back to where i stood,
I am wondering whether you have understood.
Some people keep on giving committments,
Those who believe are so called ignorant,
I wonder if there is anything like forever,
Be aware of those who will cause you fever.
Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare,
Eternity fantasy written by this poet,
oh my goodness, nothing seems to appear,
So shut up, you better keep quiet.
A relationship needs both parties,
One-sided love is strictly an uncertainty,
If you were too lucky to carry a baby,
Oh my! Your whole life will be salty.
Love needs time to be nurtured,
Passion requires time to be aroused,
Understanding each other is important,
So don’t blindly jumt into conclusion.

Inner SATISFACTION is more WORTHWHILE than a mere TREASURE
Have been telling my school and tuition students
about the target in achieving better results
in their coming Final Examination.
I am not a teacher who cares so much about marks,
as i apparently understand that marks isn't
the best tool to measure one's ability.
All i want to see is just students' will power
and the unbeatable determination in building up
their command of the language. Therefore, those kids
can be effective and competent language users
in near future-I HOPE!
To my Junior Middle 3, Form 5 and Senior Middle 3 students
who are going to face their Exams a mile stone ahead,
Good Luck and All The Best to you guys! GO ALL OUT to get what
you want. Remember, we are always No. 1:-)
To my students in SMK Tun Aminah, Push Past Your Limit!
Remember our target and I believe that you guys can do it!
To my other tuition students from Yong Peng or B. Pahat,
we must always be the best and beat the rest!
"Hard work Pay", Don't leave blankness and emptiness in your life. You only have one 14 years old or one 17 years old. Once time is past, there is no return!
So, treasure the time and do what you are supposed to do, make something great
and memorable for the rest of your life. Cheers!

Over The Moon
Delighted by the fact that some of my tuition students got No.1
In their classes for the previous English Test.
WELL DONE KIDS:-)
The perspiration and preparation in
Growing up process is significantly
Important as one learns to endure with
Pain and get ready to attain success.
The road to the higher peaks starts
From the journey from the valleys,
People are apparently having tendency
In encountering Stumble and Fall.
Those who Survive are people who never
Say Die, who never Belittle themselves,
Who never feel Discouraged and Depressed,
Who will Fight and never say Fright!
Going through the daunting obstacles,
Overcoming the many factors that might
Stop you from achieving your goal,
But, You did it! You Beat The Rest!
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU,
KEEP ON IMPROVING,
NEVER LOSE YOUR COMMON SENSE EVEN
IF YOU WALK WITH KINGS...
BE HUMBLE YET STRONG,
TAKE ON THE CHALLENGES AHEAD,
NO SIGHS AND REGRETS,
LIFE IS LIKE LISTENING TO SONGS:-)

Once Hometown, now the LOST town!
Planning to have a journey back
to my childhood memory,
To the land which was once
familiar to my sight,
But the friends i have known for
years, the accent and laughter i
once heard might be "strangers",
However, I have not forgotten
whatever I had experienced and
encountered significantly in life,
I want to see the familiar LAND,
I want to feel the old time FRIENDS,
I want to taste the best FOOD,
I want to smell the fresh AIR,
Perhaps, one-day, I may have gone
back to the days which bestowed me with
happiness, sadness and laughter-but NOT YET!

The end of Drama Performance
Wonderful drama performance presented dedicatedly and unforgettably by leaders tomorrow who are 4B and 4C STA students.
It was not an easy task, some people perceived it as a daunting task. Serious students took it seriously whereas happy go luck ones regarded it as a waste of time. I could actually see vividly the difference between the two types of people mentioned above during and after the performance done.
However, i normally focus on those who follow me as i know very well that whatever i give students are worthy. I don't give worthless stuff to students as there are for the birds.
I am very delighted to see some students who did very well. I was amazed by their effort and hard work and creativity. They are very adorable and lovely. Looking at them made me go back to the time in secondary school where i first did drama performance. It was years ago. Long long story...lol
Besides, students' fear had been discarded the moment they started to present. It was a good sign because they had conquered the fear and also they learnt to focus. So concentrated, so much so that they had already forgotten what the hell is FEAR! Some students' self confidence gained and improved! Some students' relationship with friends enhanced and built! Some students' ability in speaking proper language and accent had gone to another level.- WOw... So amazing!
In fact, some students did better than me when i was at their age. This made me very happy because they will be great leaders tomorrow-I believe.
Although the curtains of drama had already fade, I believe that it actually gave some good impact to students-Hopefully. WELL DONE CHILDREN:-)

Asking my 4B & 4C Students to do DRAMA PERFORMANCE
Oral Test is a method to evaluate whether a student or students are up to the standard set by the panel of examination. I have a belief that teachers know students best in terms of the subject matter if not mentally or spiritually.
The ability to speak isn't solely depend on the mouth but together with the pronunciation, intonation, facial expression, body language, voice projection, etc. All the points mentioned above are the criteria required to ensure a successful conversation.
As the saying goes, "Speak to the right person, at the right time, and at the right place". How true! I can't agree more!
This time around, i have decided to ask my students to be in groups, come out with a script and do the performance as their Oral Test. I came to realize that most of them have not had experience in writing a script or acting. Well, NO HARM TRYING! Girls," DO THINGS RIGHT AT THE FIRST TIME, AND EVERY TIME". Don't worry, go all out with it and surprise me with your intelligence and capability.
I am quite happy to see that most students are actually taking it seriously, having the practice after school or even practice in the weekend. GOOD JOB! I appreciate your hard work.
For certain groups, i have to apologize to you because i might hurt your feelings when i asked you guys to redo. It could be destructive and disheartening listening to such cruel request. Girls, we go for good if not perfect k. I can't actually say "Wow, very good, go on with it" if the script was not really appealing enough or there is problem with the suitability of the script.
Success does not come so easily, it needs patience, hard work and persistence. I only hope that you guys could come out with a better version. Despite the circumstances, you guys have made it. I was thrilled to read the 2nd script of yours, i could say there were much much better than the previous ones.
The expressions that showed disappointment from you made me sad, but i knew that you guys will grow stronger and improve. When i accepted the 2nd script, i could see the smiles on your faces... pure and blissful- I KNEW I HAVE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.
Guys, i long for your performance. Whatever it is, i would like to see your hard work and also the team spirit. I won't be stingy in giving marks. If you deserved it, you have it!
SURPRISE ME! SURPRISE EVERY BODY! :-) GOD BLESS YOU!
