❤ Just an extraordinary feelings ❤

Entry kali ni lain dari biasa..coz suddenly I feels like I want to write bout this matter.

I always think that there should be borders n boundaries between me and students. I once use FB as a medium to have a social contact with my students. But then I felt very uncomfortable..coz myFB was meant for me to socialize with family and friends and colleagues. But still, not all family and friends and colleagues. :D


I just don't know why I felt such way. It was just uneasy feelings. Ada certain people that we want to avoid, rite? Sama jugak macam bile guna YM. Ada certain people yang I put 'invisible' mode. so that they won't see me whenever I signe in. Please, please, please. I tak 'buang' mereka..I still keeping them. But..I have my own reason, reasons and reasonsss.


So I started cleaning up my friend's list spaces. Did the spring cleaning. Puas hatiku. Then I opened another FB account just for some people that I think this is a formal channel between me and them..and somewhat social la jugakkk.


Some of my students are sebaya with me..and many-many of them much older than me..ada yang 2-3 tahun, 10-15 tahun..


I've got several impressions like,


"eh, kitorang ngan Puan sebaya la."


"lagi muda dari kami la rupanye Puan ni."


Nada bukan friendly, k. So whaddayou expect? I had to respect you as well? I always did that. What's more do u guys want?


But honestly speaking, orang yang jauhhhh lebih tua, bila mereka baru nak sambung degree, mereka lebih menghargai 'orang yang mengajar' regardless umur, rupa, and macam-macam kriteria lain walaupun mereka banyak pengalaman. I dah pernah ngajar cikgu-cikgu yang asal dari diploma, yang dah berbelas tahun mengajar di sekolah. OK je diorang semua. The teaching and learning process was fun as far as I could remember. Last semester, I gave them an assignment where they should organize a group trip to any food processing industry. Being a teacher, diorang ni ada masa time school holidays je untuk pergi buat assignment ni. So there is one group, they planned to go to Cameron Highlands..bawak family bercuti sambil tu diorang gi ladang teh buat assignment on how the tea processing. Bila buat presentation, diorang siap buat macam ala-ala minum petang..bawak heater, masak air dalam kelas. So sambil tengok diorang present, I dapat minum teh panas..:) Wonderful experience la for me sebab I pun baru berapa tahun je mengajar..I pun tengah belajar macammane nak 'mengajar'..Semangat betul mereka. And I was touched by their courage and determination. Means, bila belajar tu be fleksibel la kan. Life long learning process.


Berbanding dengan student yang beza umur dengan kite setakat 2-3 tahun. I just don't know why. This is what happened to me. At least, in my case. Kalau yang muda dari kite tu, toksah banyak bunyik la kan. Memang siapla kene banned kalau bersikap kurang ajar. Mm..to me, kalau budak-budak boleh la I marah ke cakap ikut sedap. Nih kalau budak dah besar-besar..mostly dah pernah amik diploma..mentaliti tu tolong la kembangkan sket.


But I keep this in my mind. Tak semua macam tu. Tidak. Tidak.

Cameron Trip I

Cameron Trip II

Mamat belah kanan tu kebetulan ex-schoolmate husband. Die add I kat FB thru my husband punye akaun la kot. I tatau nak letak die kat yang formal ke social akaun. :P

Antara student paling sengal I pernah ajar. Tapi sangat best. Dah grad dah pun. Macammanelah gayanye korang jadik cikgu kat sekolah..Harap-harapla well-behaved kedua-dua mereka ini. :P

Ohh..for the record, baju kebaya pendek di atas semua dah tak muat. Muahahaha.



For me, keeping borders between me and students were like being PROFESSIONAL. Bukan sombong. Ada tu kadang-kadang I siap tumpangkan student naik kereta time ada ada kelas sampai Maghrib ke..sebab dah tau bas universiti lambat sket time waktu cenggitu. Tapi students ni ada satu macam perangai yang pelik la..I pun tatau nak kate macamane. Not all, several of them. Die baik dengan kite, tapi die respect. Ada juga yang baik dengan kite, but with double meaningssss.


Until yesterday,



Kite bukan nak student junjung kite melangit, at least show some respect la. Dalam kes I ni. Student ni I dah add die dalam my formal FB account. Tapi still nak add I kat akaun N@zira_N@d tu. I buat tak reti jela. Then, kebetulannye die tengah buat Teaching Practice in a school, which I had a friend who already work as a teacher there. Kebetulan, my sis, Ana (her name was mentioned by this *** in the conversation) is a GSTT there. Takpela, I ok je. Kebetulan ada conversation yang a bit related to work stuff, so I pun saje chat there. Sebab ada student kepada kawan I tu tanye, kalau dah buat matriks, boleh ke nak amik kursus perguruan kat Maktab Perguruan. So..bla..bla..bla..until I terbaca ayat dalam red borders tu. Erghhh. Sent my blood upstairs la. How dare. Tak respect langsung.



Ohhh..i hate it so much! Memang patut ada boundary!
