OMG!! 6 months away from my dear blog!!

Hello there fellow Netizens who chance upon this blog!

Much has changed since the last time we met.. Proud to say that im now a paid employee of MOE!! and just got bonus if i may add! Exams and revisions are a thing of the past as i am now getting comfy with seeing increasing digits in bank account.. =D

This is quite a big thing for me memandangkan brape lamer account itu telah selama ini semakin merudum bagaikan ekonomi cambodia dan laos.

Anyways, life in NIE has been great with each day making me feel more confident with being a full-fledged teacher!! perhaps i wll regret saying all these cos i noe many who try to escape the hectic life of a teacher despite the exorbitant pay.. nyeaheheh hopefully that day wont be any time soon for me lah ya?

Well, currently in my 'chalet-week' (cos im now gg sch in slippers n berms already) awaiting for e-learning week and a fun-filled month of overseas activities!!
1) Kuala Lumpur trip wif NIE peeps!
2) St John's island overnight wif family!!
3) Malacca trip wif family!!!
4) Vietnam expedition wif NIE peepz!!!!

Fuhhh.. if this keeps up, i might get PR invitation to M'sia and Vietnam!! =D

Well, hope my knee will keep working throughout these holidays cos i reallie need it aside from aesthetic purposes! (not that it is aesthetically appealing anyways.. =)

Till the next post then!! Filled with pics i hope??

Can't wait for Mai Bies to return to Singapore after a long holiday in PAris and MAdrid.. Mishes much lehz.. nobody sms me at night..

Da lamer my right ear tak panas sebab bebual lamer di telefon at night..

So What Now?

Life has been fantastic with a capital F and all confetti strewn all over the other letters.. I know i am a positive being who tends to look on the brighter side of most things no matter what the situation..

That's just the way i have been brought up and thats how i prefer my life to be..

HAPPY.

But what happens when the source of my happiness is gone?

2009 just like that huh?

Well, its a little overdue but i dun mind.. Helooooooooo blog of mine and fellow netizens who chance upon this blog! Yes, im talking about you who is reading this with sudden apprehension that ur webcam might be on..

It has been months and months since the last time i typed anything on this green blog of mine right here! nasib baik the password is set at automatic login kalau tak, it would haf a been a waste.. *which reminds me of a certain indian joke i heard before*

Well, since everyone has been on a reminiscing mood and penning down their reflections for the year, perhaps i should follow suit and put down my own 20-cents worth?? Well, mine wun be as heart-felt nor nicely constructed in lyrical form and what-nots but ill try my best to sum up the best moments of 2009 in an MTV-style TOP 10 moments for Hanan's 2009!!!!!!!!

"Well hello there!! the bells are ringing, the snow should be falling in some parts of the world and sales should be hitting stores right about this time... Yes the moment is here once again!! Tis the most wonderful timeeee of the yeaaaarrrrr!!! Yearps u guessed it, it is Year's End once again and time for us to bid adieu to the old and usher in a new year, with renewed hopes and wishes i bet!! Tis the year of the Tiger (which i just found out while shopping in JP2) and yurps, its my year then!!

What better way to spend this joyous moment than to recap the best moments of 2009 in an MTV style top 10 countdown!?!? id love to put up pics and all cos that would make my post less boring and perhaps a video or two jadi u all u all boleh dgr sambil browse thru this wittle blog of mine.. =D

Without further ado, let's bring in Number 10 in 2009's top moments!!!"

(Numero Ten-O) Trying out Mendaki Tutoring @ Hillgrove Sec

This would be at my 10th place of memorable events then!! Being a tutor to some of my frens' cussinz and brothers was definitely sumting new to me but it was manageable sebab budak2 tak begitu syaitan nirrojeeem.. Some were definitely more punctual than their tutor and this im not very proud of.. hehehe *smiles sheepishly*

But then again i gained valuable insight on how to handle a class tho it was half of what a real class would be.. But i taught English!! a subject which i always thot shld haf been taught when a kid is still at his primitive stages.. hahaha But this is a good platform for my English teaching in the future!! 

Next up, Clementi Town Sec for secondary 2 exp n NA kiddos then!! =D harap2 teacher hanan tak perangai and comes early each and every morning ya?? =D

and i hope not to get Siti Asmah angry.. the money is pretty good..

(Numero Nine-O) Masok JB bertubi-tubi dgn members!!

If it was one thing i realised was the importance of having frens wif cars and license!! hahahha Hakim, Luqman and Fahmi white had reallie made me enjoy JB cos of their relentless pursuit of great seafood and fantastic ayam golek wif to-die-for chilli cuka dorang... Wahlau eh....

I for one, haf never enetered Johor thru the Woodlands checkpoint via car. and i cant remember the landscape there.. but the week of August 3rd, i went to JB TWICE in 3 days!!!! hahahahaha mak bapak pon bingung naper jalan2 pat singapore tak cukop sampai kene bawak passport skali..

But then again that made me understand why people buy houses in Malaysia and constantly make their way seberang Tambak daily to get the great food and enjoy the bargains!! Walaupon the service sucks and we arent exactly in the goodbooks of our fellow Malaysians, i thoroughly enjoyed Bowling, seafood gobbling, shopping, site-seeing, driving around and plain having fun in JB wif pals and frens in NUS...

Thanks lah guys.. Sebab korang, i had to bedek to my tusyen kid quite a number of times.. nyehehehe kesian dier.. tapi worthit ar bebeh!!

(Numero Eight-O) SC2221 Kompang Lecture and Tutorials by Kumpulan Kompang Al-Baikz

This was indeed an awesome year for Kumpulan Kompang Al-Baikz!!We are having bookings almost every other month and for 2010 kiter da ader 8 booking starting as early as january!!! Aniwaes, the moment that made 2009 abit more special was when members of a decade, Na'im, Remy, Haekal, Khamsya, Yusri were specially invited to conduct the Gamelan module which focuses on music in SEAsian nations..

We held the lecture and the 4 tutorials, of which all had hands on practice of the kompang playing!! Na'im and Remy did up fantabulous lecture slides which eventually made up one of the questions in the final exam!! hahahahah

How many people can say that they had lectured and conducted tutorials in university beb?? i doubt that mahy could then.. =D Thanks to Dr Thomas wif the suggestive surname of "Manhardt", for trusting us wif lectures and giving us the opportunity!! 

(Numero Seven-O) Welcoming 2 extra members of the Family!!

Earlier in the year, who would haf guessed that my sister and i were crafting an evil but foolproof plan to smuggle 2 adorable kittens to our humble home from St Johns island!! =D Apparently these 1 month old kiddos were abandoned by their mummy and were relying on the people to feed them daily.. so poor thing rite??

Well, so we did succeed in bringing them into my sister's room tapi my mummy thot it was suspicious that i was leaning beside a small box wif holes at the top.. nyehehehehe well lo n behold dari tak suke jadi sayang plak nyer.. and now we are proud to haf 7 members of the family in our cosy 4-room flat in Jurong West..

Semoga gemok dan tembam lah Spunx n Troy!! =D

(Numero Six-O) Being in Team NUS Silat

I still recall the days when there were 30 plus members coming for training and id be like "shit, dis year kene fight for a place ar shials!!" That reallie made me happy cos there was always the customary makan2 after a hard day's of training which always led to happiness despite the eventual painful trudge back home kalau ader injury.. nyeahehehe

Silat has always been the fun part in school.. lagik2 biler ader members training2 skali.. sebab tak mungkin ader silat practice yg takde ketawe2 and senyum menari.. *ok that last word i just put in entah kenape* But ya, the enthusiasm was membara lah kirekan.. nak kejarkan itu medal per.. and the guy who won gold the previous year da graduate dari NP jadi mungkin ader chance ar Nan!!! woohooooo!!!

But then 7th February 2009, a day that would forever be remembered in infamy.. Tengah semangat nak fight for the first time since the previous IVP, the right knee had to give way after months of soccer and silat.. haishes... Kinda upset till now.. wondering wad im gonna do.. Dgr ckp abah n let it heal on its own atau gi operation and still be weaker than before.. but better i think?? Hmmm... it sucks.. paralympics takde silat lagipon.. haishes..

But yeah.. i hope to get at least the chance to participate in another IVP.. sebab tak selalu i get to represent a school seh.. dari time JC soccer dulu - didnt make the cut, sampai ke university at least i get to don the school jacket n stuff.. Yeah, sumting like the first ting im good at but maybe the best i can get is a Bronze sahaje? =D

"Takpe lah encik, Changkul pon Changkul lah...." (Hang Kebun, 1961)

(Numero Five-o) Asian Youth Games

This was kind of a feather in my cap! Skali skala digelar sebagai official beb!! in a regional event plak tu!! and this was definitely a cool event, with lots of new frens and lots of food and of course the daily allowance lah!! hahahha it was like duit hari ni belom habis, da dpt duit lagi.. mcm ne tak koyak wallet aku asek byk duit jer... (chehh ni part lebih baik hamba stoppit sebelom kene tamparan tigerrr)

But i recommend anyone whu is thinking of being an official, to join for the upcoming YOG 2010 ya!! the allowances are far higher i heard and it looks pretty when u get the cert from SSC.. its all abt the papers when u join the workforce bebeh... plus u can brag to ur kids when ur old and grey..

(Numero Four-O) Tioman Trip wif Alan's Boys

Well, wad else can i say when a group of members travel overseas to a holiday getaway wif food aplenty and fish not many??? We are talking about fantabulous fun and sun in the beaches of Tioman lah!!! Superb boat rides to snorkelling sites and merepek meraban channels on teevee and all at cheap rates..

Down to dinner wif 7 courses of home-cooked seafood plus a surprise offer of red wine by our tour guide Alan, to Fairus, the apparent drunkard looking one.. =D

Well, the trip to n from Tioman was safe alhamdulillah and we hope to haf yet another trip overseas and perhaps even further than Malaysia the next time?? Stay tuned for the upcoming adventures of Alan's Boys!!!

(Numero Three-O) 6th Year Anniversary wif Besfwen

Anniversaries are superb lah.. Even tho kadang2 kiter tak ber-budget, the company just makes up for it.. hehehe *i tau, sweet kan?*

Anyways, this year was more than fantabulous.. Sebab we did wad we like to do... EAT!!! And where better to mamam than Carousel Dinner!! Weeeeheeeeee! this was the first time we are eating there together in 6 years seh!! And boy was it worth the wait.. Pics are on facebook by the way jadi ringankan jari lah ye click sana sini untuk tengok.. nyehehehe

So for those aspiring couples or already couples but looking sumting UP sikit, silakan cuba dinner di Carousel where u should not be bothered by how much u eat or how u'd look like after stuffing ur face wif food from various continents.. =D 

A true test of love id put it..

Happy 6th year anniversary bietums!! may we haf more n more to come!! Walaupon kadang2 i ader ckp i tak favret nah.. but i hope there never comes a day when the pinching and the biting and the tickling and the smiling and the laughing and the non-acknowledgement-of-crappy-jokes seize to continue.. Cos that's wad makes it special!

(Numero Two-O) Family Trip to KL!!!

This has to be one of the highlights of my year sebab bukan selalu kiter as a family gi overseas!! Serious-nesss!! Well, i just hope we get to go further and for longer periods of time in the future insya allah!! Lagi2 wif my kak going to nikah end of the year summore!

Kuala Lumpur was fantabulous too!! We just needed to be less rushing and stuff and try to enjoy being tourists lah... =D but the walking walking to n from the LRT stations was no joke bebeh.. Dgn bahang KL nyer mcm sikit seperti azab.. Fuyooooh..

But then the makan and the minums and the shoppings and the pictures were definitely worth a second trip there lah.. Sayangnyer kiter takde family pat KL, kalau tak we surely haf reasons to stay there longer and more often too! =D

Tapi dgr dgr next stop is langkawi by plane?? no need to sit in bumpy bus lagi alhamdulillah!!

(Numero Uno) My End of Year Activities!!!

This has got to be the bestest time thus far in 2009... Perhaps cos it JUUUSSSTTT happened and still etched clearly in my mind ya? But never mind it's my list and not urs. nyehehehe.. 

Well well.... Let's see wad we did ya?? We started off with 3 frens thinking up of a noble sports day for the kids at Darul Ma'wa. Then it didnt come together sebab kami tak serious.. Budden a few others had the same idea but wanted it to be held at a more feasible end of the year.. Thus, the quest got under way...

My onli wish is that KKK continue to be a staple event in Malay undergrad societies for years to come.. Not for the fame of starting it.. please lah.. i just wanna see that people still haf time to think about others despite being in a prestigious institution and understanding that there is more to life than the race for grades and such.. =D

Maybe one day the kids at Darul Ma'wa can do sumting like dat for the young kids in their generation.. that would be truly sumthing...

Just the sight of the kids, the amount of joy we had while putting this event together, the lack of squabbles we had during the whole running of the show, the cooperation we had from the organisations and the kind hearted public who didnt think twice about fulfilling the wishes of the kids..

It just makes all the tiredness and sweat all worth it.. 

Plus i went away from KKK wif a six pack and dimples from all the laughter!

Just another manic Sunday. (Woaahh oo woaaaahh..)


Today, it started off with a little emcee-ing stint over at Al Mukminin mosque in Jurong East. it shldnt haf been sumting new to me as my fren and i haf been invited to emcee their annual sports day every year for the past 3 years!! hahaha truly a fantastic bunch of teachers, helpers and a closely knit community base i tell you..

However, this year there was going to be a bigger celebration with MP Grace Fu, committee members and Chairmen from here n there being present to witness the sports day, racial harmony booths, the all style martial arts competition and the national day observation ceremony. Well, to sum things up, i reallie am grateful to the mosque for inviting us year after year to emcee at this event.. Kirekan kiter tolong dorang, dorang pon tolong kiter ar in terms of exposure to this line of work. =D

Well, pics shall be up once my blogger can show me the upload image button.. I cant even change my font lah for God's sake.. haha and the pics shall be on facebook under masjid al mukminin's profile.. cool or wad..


Later in the afternoon, pooped after a day in the hot sun, i went out wif the family to a family friend's wedding.. Da sampai sane, we were greeted by scores of bikes of various classes, colours and COE prices!! well, nutting to be shocked about.. da semakin menjadi jadi kan these brides n grooms being ushered by their frens on bikes.. kalau skali skala ok lah.. kalau police dtg pon boleh buat aper kan?? da ramai sgt yg tgh buat bising.. nyehehe..

Anyways, as we were eating abt 3 tables away from the pelamin, a 40-plus-yr-old man got to the mike and made this announcement..
"Kepada semuer budak2 otai eh.. korang tahu korang siape.. yg old timers harap dpt naik pelamin, kiter amek gambar ramai2.. sumer old timers please.."

Upon noticing that not many were moving.. he SHOUTED...

"Eh yg tuer-tuer pat blakang tu.. CEPAT DA!!" then some of them made some comments about the tuer part.. thus he added..

"Ye lah bodoh, aku tahu aku pon tuer.. siape cakap aku tak tuer, bodoh.. cepat lah naik pelamin.."


At this point of time, i was quite shocked.. no no.. more of appalled and embarrassed cos this pakcik was shouting into the mike mcm rumah dier nyer bilik air gituk abeh dier takde tuala lepas mandi... seriously seh.. takkan lah kalau umur da lanjut maseh tak tahu how to carry urself in front of others, especially when its not even YOUR child's wedding.. Members mmg members, yes, tapi takya lah excited sampai mcm gituk...

And it brought the question to this simple mind of mine.. Seeing generations of members in that certain bike club, i couldnt help but wonder.. what IS it that these clubs do?? ramai2 gituk dorang asek gi Malaysia ajer ke?? as in racing, holiday, duduk kedai kopi??

I noe some clubs haf extended their helping hands and done their bit for charity but i doubt so for this certain club..

A short stint with little ones..

Well well, tis been quite sumtime since my last blog posting.. been kinda busy wif outings and chalets and work.. hahah ok maybe not work, but still, i haf resumed my hectic scedule of tuitions cos the kids gotta sit for the common tests and prelims which are looming SO close, "if it were a snake, it wld have bitten them" (The Office Lady from Grease). =D

Anyways, my recent week had been well spent i believe, with relief teaching at a school in the west.. I haf heard of it plenty of times but never did i noe where it was situated at.. Well, upon my arrival on the first day, i was greeted by a chirpy looking teacher who made this comment "Have you been on Suria before?" Now what better way to start off ur relief teaching stint at a relatively unfamiliar place by being mistaken for a celebrity?!?! nyehehehhe

*brings hanan back to the ground*

Anyways, i was allocated to teach a new P1 or P2 class for every day that i was relief teaching, such that almost all the students in the afternoon session practically noes my name.. hahaha These kids are just too adorable to describe.. those who are devilish are reallie testing my patience to the max.. but those who are cute and wanna learn reallie make my face cramp up cos i wanna smile but cant, cos the class may step on my head if i show too much of the smile..

Anyways, this teaching stint reallie made me realise how tough these kids are to control!! and this gives me a totally new found respect for P1 and P2 teachers!! *bows to the senseis around Singapore* Anyways, i finished up my entire stash of tissues in 3 days at the primary school!! Kids were crying like all of a sudden, without me doing anything!! hahaha seriously!! and the reasons as to why they cried buckets were even more laughable lah bebz..


1) i was drawing an animal on the board and the kids were told to guess what the animal was.. Then suddenly there was this wailing and as i turned, an indian boy was crying his eyes out, wif his bigger sized malay fren beside holding a bottle.. Craps.. so i called both of them to the side of the class while the rest of the kiddos kept quiet..

so i asked the indian boy 'did ur fren hit u with the bottle?'

he shook his head and pointed to a girl. So i called her up to explain..

apparently, the girl said dat the animal i was drawing, looked like the indian boy..

and thus he cried..


2) i gave a maths quiz to P2 kids.. they were to get into 5 groups and at any one time, one representative was to come up and answer a question.. Thus, they had the power to collect points with every question correct!! alot of responsibility for an 8 year old huh? nyehehe anyways.. one of them refused to do his working and insisted on mental sums for a list of questions!! hahaha he sounded smart and hailed from the People's Republic of China anyways.. so i thot, not a problem!

But when i checked, his answer was kind of way off tangent so i had to mark him wrong.. But, i told him it was okay and that his mistake was a small one..

So he nodded and went back to his seat.. moments later, the waterworks began..

i dunno how it happened.. it was just sooo sudden...

So i went over and asked why.. and he answered..

"i thot i was clever.."


Wah seiii...

One of the best singers ive heard in recent times!!!



This singer is apparently Malaysian (Sarawakian to be exact) and is studying in England, which explains her accent and crisp English and strong command of the language.. =D Well, the first time i heard her single, Bitter Heart, which is fantabulous by the way, i thot it was a mat salleh nyer pompan yg suare not bad!!

So i urge u guys to go give her the 2 thumbs up cos she is just breaking into the Western market and dgr2 this song has made it into the RIA airwaves.. =D

Baek ar Zee Avi, Baek ar, Melayu!!

This Is Ya Boooiiii..... *Aper kau bebual Setaaaaann...*




"This was forwarded to me by my boiiii H to the A to the D to the I.. Hadi Anweeeezy y'all!! I believe this is one of the reasons why our Malay youths are so often critiqued over their sense of identity.."

"Nak ckp Melayu jati, nanti org cakap kentalzz.. Jadi try jadi Niggaz plak ar.. ni lah jadi nyer.. kentalzz jugak... mampos kalau sumer budak melayu mude mudi bebual gini machiam.. Kalau delegates atau just tourists from the west dtg sini, pasti anjat boboiiiizzz dgr care bebual yg mirip mirip berok hutan yg baru diberi dictionary and dikurniakan halkomz"
