Pipit Wonderful Market Part Two

When I first learned about Pipit Wonderful Market, I got so excited and started to search for more information related to the event. I even considered getting flight ticket to KL since it’s going to happen on weekend.

So imagine my reaction when I received the offer letter to attend a course in KL on that particular time. Maybe I can to go to the event after all! I started to plan everything. Like how am I going to get there, how to adjust my schedule, who am I going with…

When the day finally came, I found myself alone (since my friends got other commitment and my sister had to sit for her test). But that didn’t stop me. My last choice is to just go there all by myself. So, I’ve downloaded the map of the location and the picture of Annexe Gallery itself. I then asked the taxi driver to send me there.

Some of the precious items that I managed to grab…

Azreenchan

Zeropumpkin Studio

Pfang & Half-lemon

Oh and Ah & Slovec Handcraft

Murdoodles & Dcreativeaholic

I’m proud to be part of this event!

*This is a very late update of Pipit Wonderful Market. After I came back from KL, I've got just one day to finish my work at school. The next day, my husband and I (with two wabbits & a cat) took off on a 6 hours road trip to Ranau (hubby's place) for school holiday. We spent the night at Ranau and continued our journey to KK (my place) before we went on a vacation at Langkawi.

It's time: MATHS November 8, 2012

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of teaching the whole year round. The students were being cooperative (well, most of the times actually). They were attentive and engaged during lessons. It's true that they can be challenging sometimes. But that's part of the life of a teacher. You must be able to find your way and deal with all kind of situations wisely. I chose to take that step forward rather than turn around and walk away. I know I won't be the person I am today if it's not because of them.

My students will sit for their Maths exam tomorrow. Hwaiting~♥

It's a rainy Saturday afternoon

I’ve spent two days attending the course organized by IALKM, Kursus Kemahiran Asas Kaunseling untuk Pendidik Mara. There are actually several interesting quotes that I would love to share here.

A smile is a powerful weapon. You can even break ice with it.

Talking comes naturally but getting people to listen is an art.

If we want people to listen to us, we should start listening to others first.

We should accept our students the way they are.

There is a bunch of issues brewing at school. Most of them related to students; about their attitude, academic performance and other common teenage issues. As a teacher, I must handle them (the issues) with care.

Teenagers are young, immature, insecure, afraid, and definitely overwhelmed. It is in their nature to battle all adults and authority. They are still going through the learning process and have difficulty in determining what is right and what is wrong.  Because of that, I try to be supportive of their concerns. Sometimes, what they need most is someone to just listen; and I’m really good at that.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn life around.

– Leo F. Buscaglia

My dear students, teachers are human beings too. It’s quite stressful already dealing with lots of tasks at once (personal or family matters, financial, health, work, etc). And then there is this expectation of the society we live in that makes teachers entirely responsible for a student's academic progress.

All of these might affect the way we handle things. But we never intended to make your life miserable.


It is every teacher's wish to see his or her students succeed in school and in life. You should know that we always have your best interests at heart. ♥
