'Amanat' seorang Datuk...

well..it's not anyone's Grandfather. it's Datuk Hjh Ilani. one person who is very responsible in making sure that the development of English Language will be at the same level with the development of other subjects in school. 2 years ago, when SAL Room were launched, my 2 seniors [teh & wenna] were the practicum teacher in SMK Tanjong Mas. and now, the three of us performed the so-called same duty that the two of them performed earlier. while waiting for Datuk to leave the SAL room, suddenly she approached...

Datuk: Well...Why do you think the numbers of male teachers are lacking?

me: Datuk, in my opinion it is not about the numbers of male teachers in general. but number of male english teachers in specific. it's simply because of how the surroundings accept them as English speakers. For instance, if we speak in English...here in Kelantan, we might end up hearing people say, "bau budu..." as well as other 'annoying' yet cynical words and that of course can make us feel not motivated to become an English speaking person.

Datuk: so, if you have any suggestion, i hope you will contact the Ministry of Education and tell them such problem. you can surf Tan Sri Muhiyyidin's Blog, or our PM's blog. at least, write something...or perhaps any suggestion to increase the number of English teacher...particularly, male English teacher.

me: ok, Datuk. InsyaAllah..i will remember that. but then, we still have a dozen of male teachers together with me in my cohort.

Datuk: really?

me: yes.

SAL Room & English FuN CLuBb..

after spending most of our time at SMK tanjong mas, The English Panel is so delighted because the room and club were officially launched yesterday. Alhamdulillah, everything was going fine. from the assembly till the meal. as soon as the ceremony ends, i rushed to 2 Amanah. melaksanakan amanah terbeban di bahu. kanan dan kiri.

marah.senyum.belanja air

rayap dan rayau hingga ke pantai cahaya bulan
tidak sedar akan hari yang semakin petang
lantas aku dan rakan rakan pulang
untuk cuba meneruskan penghidupan
yang mana persekolahan adalah pemula dan pengakhiran

* * *

menzahirkan api kemarahan kecil di kelas yang tersedia
tanpa rasa malu bebelan diteruskan hingga minit kedua puluh
dan dua puluh lagi aku memastikan kerja disiapkan
jika tidak pastinya akan ada denda, larian berhalangan.
halangannya bukan apa, tapi siapa.

I: eh, bleh ke U ajar diorang choral?

H: well...budak koleq. x boleh pun, buat-buat la boleh..hahahaha

I: yup, budak koleq kan survivor..hahaha

H: da most important thing is that the Students are able to perform the choral. my knowledge and important aren't important..hahahaha...

I: correct..correct.so, can they perform?

H: yes..but a little bit shy~

and the conversation ends there.
need to rush back to school.
a girl and 4 benches of students await...

today, i was slightly late, & they got teh-beng (luckily Milo was out of stock!!!)

s E P i

bergetaran hati yang masih belum mahu mati
sumpah seranah bergema buat kesekian kali
memaki caci segala macm kerenah berpentingkan diri
hirau tidak segala tubuh di hadapan kanan dan kiri
lantas menjadi susuk kaku berdiam diri dan mati
meluluhkan jiwa mematahkan hati melagukan sepi
