Cikgu Nur's diary...
Who would expect your childhood ambition would come true?What was your first ambition when you were young? Do you still remember?For boys, mostly they would dream of becoming a Policeman? Fireman? or maybe a Doctor? etc & etc..and as for girls.. maybe a Nurse? or a Teacher?!Yesh a Teacher.. My ambition when i was younger was to become a teacher..How about you? Have you achieved it?Unexpectedly.. I had become one!and maybe continue as one again.. and Yeash my students called me Cikgu Nur! heh (Cikgu Nur eh...)
Thanx to Bestest Fisah.xoxo
That unexpected opportunity was introduced by her..Why.. Because the newly wedd wasnt feelin good after her honeymoon. So she asked me if I could replace her on her second day onwards.And of coz I accept it.. Why again.. well its pretty much because of the money. heh..Earning 12 bucks per hour. And yar.. Its all about-The Money.. Who doesn't want.
I was known as 'eirto' or in short 'eir' by bloggers..
known as 'adek' and 'kakak' in the family.
a 'bestie' to her bestie..
Bein called 'Bad' as in pronouced as 'Bard' by best ghurlfrens
and known as Irah by most colleagues and friends..
and suddenly 'Cikgu Nur' hmm..
or maybe soon remain as 'sayang' by him.. Oops (need not know dat uh huh)
((Hushhh! Not so sOon bout that maybe not))
Okie back to Cikgu Nur's diary was about this eir has no teachin experience.never had become a tutor thou she feels like tryin one day..but if to recall.. she did buddy readin program durin her pri5.(and dat was close to a decade)okie whatever..I need to teach 2 class, 2 hours each to the Pri2 students of one of the neighbourhood school in tamp.Okie wait.. wat am i teaching? eager to know?its teaching Bahasa Melayu Pertuturan or "Malay Conversational Class"
wanna know bout eir's 1st day experience wit her class?!It was.. suPer rotten!! Coz eir doesn't know how to do class management.the student was suPer chaotic. maybe equals to this lousy Cikgu Nur. hah
but that doesn't mean I gave up on my very 1st teaching day..The 2nd topic for them that I need to continue with was 'Berkenalan' or 'Getting to Know Each Other'The 1st class 2/7 or 2Hope that I faced first in my life.. was kinda great..they seemed eager to learn the new language but I wasnt prepared to become a good teacher..I had problems handling the class when it was quiz session..When i picked up their hands to let them answer.. some students wasnt satisfied because they think i picked others than those who picked up their hands first. (stress kan.. hah)its all because of getting the 'bintang' stickers lar..coz i promise them who have the most stars by the end of the programme will receive a present..(haix.. kids.. who doesnt want present rite?!)
As for the 2nd class for that day.. I face 2/1 or 2Love.Fisah told me the students in this class all macam step pandai..but rupe-rupenye.. smue notorious! lau cite P Ramlee.. we say it as "macam setan!" hohit was much challengin wit this class, of cozwhen i was more prepared to teach the 2nd class.. the students were the ones who cant sit still..the girls were more eager than the boys..and most of the students did not want to take down notes unlike those from 2Hope.and when i test them, some almost got it rite.. but padan muke lar.. takmau copy kan.. korang nye pasal lar..kecik2 dah pandai cakap.. blei ingat dalam otak..
Day2. its about My family or "Keluarga Saya"I gave homework for them to do.. which is the family tree.Again the class wasnt much enthusiasm with my teaching.. it seem they prefer to play games than hear my teaching..even for singing they just wont want to sing unless i reward them wit somethin.. Ishh..
Day3. Suppose to be "Nombor, Tarikh dan Masa"Since it was my last day..I start of with 2Love recaping about the day before's lesson.asked the kids some vocabs..Taught them simple questions like "Apa itu?" & "Apa Ini?"then to make more interesting, i make the class split into 2 den make them sing!what song?!
"Ibu saya, Ibu saya
Dimana? Dimana?
Ibu ada disini, Ibu ada disini
Sembunyi! Sembunyi!"
Ouh.. Cikgu Nur was so touched that the class finally get together and put effort for the class participation.And it was almost the end of Bahasa pertuturan melayu for the 2Love.Aft 3 days with them, It was so stress handling them I must say.Students especially boys kept running about. Play fighting by using long rulers. A gurl, named Lydia was being sit separately from the groups.She was named 'elephant' thou she doesnt look like one. Aft some queries from Bestest Fisah. She was bein told that Lydia was called elephant bcoz she was bein chosen to become a volunteer during the school excursion to the Zoo..The class was so eager to know what is elephant called in malay.. Well I wanted to share with them at first, but other students told me to ignore them.Well I think I should follow what the girls said and I did.. If not it wont be a good tradition for Lydia to be called 'gajah' plak rite..
2Harapan:2Hope..My first and final class to be taught on my last day.Again start of with simple questions..Finish up few more slides I did not complete with regarding "Keluarga Saya" topic.and suddenly I had problems teachin when I translate the malay sentences word by word.The word 'seorang' which i told them refers to '1 person'The sentence was.. "Saya ada seorang kakak" which means "I have one sister" rite. But when I said 'seorang' means '1 person' they got really confused till i had to 'peng' them dat number 1 in malay is very unique!So I recap with dem bout numbers.. like for ten we call it sepuluh and not satu puluh. we can call satu ratus but more exact we call it seratus!From there I think they somehow understand..Padehal when I went home and consult with Bestest Fisah.. she told me we should not emphasize 'penjodoh bilangan' to students. hah.But that 'seorang' part.. ntahlar eh.. whether they finally
understands at the end of my lesson or not.Ouh yeah i proceed the class to split into 2 again like ealier class. and make them sing.even before i teach the second line of the song.. they are eager to sing and somehow know how the song songs like. Easy kan. hahWith 2Hope I made the class more interesting by having a 'Guessing Game'.Who guess if I have 'kakak', 'abang', 'adik lelaki' and 'adik perempuan' will get 1 bintang for every correct answers.Well yeah.. I have all and showed them my family tree. and my souvenirs from the students I had was the family tress they made as their homework.. Touching kan..
I awarded 3 sweets each to everyone in 2Love at the end of the day and 2 notebooks to a gurl & a boy who received the most 'bintang'As for 2 Hope (which is my favourite class...) I gave a
lollipop each to everyone anf also notebooks to the most attentive students in the class..Ending momments with 2Hope was much more proper and the moment I stepped out.. I feel like crying.. Coz they are my 1st and the last class I taught, gave the spontanious participation in class..Although I had difficulties with them on my first day.. But am glad I end the programme with them..And yar I managed to take their pictures too.. (Padehal, my teaching time dah overshot).. I went into the class again at the back door to take their pictures.. (Padehal teachernye ade di depan!)Kwang3..
And before this Cikgu Nur returns home.. She bought herself Honeydew Ice Blended with
Pearls.. Ouhh... So coolin.. (Padehal she did bought one before goin school earlier..) Well what to say, the wheather was so hot.. But her throat was much thirsty that she need Icy drink! Icy Iced... See-> She's tired yet she still put on a smile.. (Padehal dalam otak de stress before her final class tau..
And seein this picture.. Ade orang plak yang terpikat sebab matenye besar.. Padehal mate eir bleh di catagorizekan sebagai sepet.. Well its all the camera trick.. Memang bute! agaknye si mamat tuhh...
Takdir, pertemukanku
Membuatkanku Jatuh Cinta
