wink!

today's journey back to kuala lumpur was somewhat tense. lampu kereta terbakar sebelah. adoiiii. but if you look at my car from your rear-view mirror, you'll see my car winking at you really =) i think i should write about the accident i was involved in last month. nahhh i've put that in my to-do list. now let's get back to the kissm assignment.

kejam

you little boys are so mean.

worse or worst?

i've always love you at your worst. oh how i hope somebody can love me at my worst too.

why is it call nightmare?

i don't like my naps and sleeps filled with not so nice dreams. i feel tensed and when i wake up, my mood sort of lost. i hope what i dreamt today was not all particularly agree to the real life. and hey you, get well soon.

melts in your mouth, not in your hand

i used m&m's to lure those two (handsome) form4 boys out of my english class with my 2ikhlas. i felt pathetic.

the gang

amzar, my f2 student taught me this gang handshake or whatever you young ghetto people call it with fist bump and all. layankan je lah kan, they're kids anyway. i did it the first time, not so smooth. i did it the second time, it was okay. suddenly, amzar announces "weyhh korang! teacher dah masuk gang kita lah!!" @_@

bus on tow.make way!make way!

"Was a bit shy meeting you for the first time. But more than happy to know you in the first place :D" -shapnuna

giggles and shy away

blackberries

my 2ikhlas boys had a very bad friday last week. their class was spotchecked and their blackberries were seized. 14 and own blackberry smartphones. teacher pun belum mampu @_@ okay, back to the story. i knew about the spotcheck when i was walking towards my car on friday. faris called me and told me what had just happened. over facebook, they were cursing mad about the incident in school. but today there was a turn of event. as i was walking up the stairs heading to the staffroom, the boys stopped me.

amin: teacher, nasib baik bb kitorang kena rampas minggu lepas. uuiiii bersyukurnya!

miss I: huh?apa pasal pulak?

amin: kitorang kena samun minggu lepas. hari sabtu. diorang pow handphone kitorg teacher.

faez: kena rampas dapat november, kene samun tak dapat langsung. lega lega.

miss I: habis tu korang bagi apa je lah kat diorang masing-masing tak ada phone ni?

amzar: saya pakai handphone mama saya, sama macam handphone teacher. saya bagi tu je lah. malang betul miggu lepas *sad face*

kesian the boys. tapi form 2 dah ada blackberry, tak patut tak patut.

that flasher boy

my 2 ikhlas' math teacher is on leave because she had had an operation something about her spine. because she'll be on leave for quite some months, the school applied for new math teacher. and there she comes, miss new-math-teacher. she was previously posted in sarawak. and she is very very very very very garang. lucky/unlucky me, math follows my english lessons on tuesday and friday and so, my boys, especially, will voluntarily follow me and carry my stuff(though more than always, there's nothing to carry) so that they can delay/cut short their math class. naughty naughty you boys. but one incident shocked/amazed me the most last friday. as i was walking out the class with those swarming boys, i saw faez's shirt was not tucked in. i then stopped him and told him to tucked in his shirt.

miss I: faez, ni ape pasal baju keluar-keluar ni?masukkan cepat. pergi toilet now masukkan baju.

F: ye la teacher, ni nak pegi la ni.

miss I: cpt sikit, cikgu math da masuk tu.

F: alaaa dia garang lah. lantak lah. teacher, teacher tengok ni *angkat baju tunjuk six pack*

miss I: @_@ apa ni tak malu betul ni??

F: hebat tak saya??

miss I: kalau six pack tu tak hilang sampai umur 30 baru betul-betul hebat *jalan laju-laju,muka merah*

other boys: faez bajet hot duuhhhhh

sexual harassment ke namanya ni? or just simply self confidence for him?

that special boy

When I started my practical course in SMKHK, we were briefed by the head of language department Pn Fauziah. She told us a few details about which class she intends to give us and who is assigned under whom and what’s not. Apparently she chose me. So I got 2 classes; 4 Science 2 and 2 Ikhlas. And she gave me a heads up, there’s a boy with Asperger syndrome in 2 Ikhlas. He’s bright though. And so I was no different than a swimming duck; looks calm cruising on the lake surface but paddles like mad underneath. Pn Fauziah highlighted me only one thing about Akhil Datta s/o Cumaravadivale. And it was ‘Akhil asks A LOT of questions. Attend him but make sure you’re not carried away’. And so I think I can manage that. One of the first few questions he threw at me was as follows

The first time I entered his class for English

A: Eyh, who are you?

Miss I: I’m Miss Irrina. I’ll be teaching you English starting today until the end of September.

A: Where’s Pn Fauziah? Is she alive? Did she pindah to another school?

Miss I: Well, Akhil, she is alive and she’s around. I’m taking over her class for 3 months only. Then she’ll be teaching you again okay?

A: How did you know my name? Are you a psychic?

Miss I: Akhil, you have your nametag on.

A: *chuckles and blushes*

To my surprise, this boy is beyond asking little too many questions. He’ll remember everything(almost) about you after just three meetings. This one day, I was rushing to school hence I forgot my watch.

A: Miss Irrina, what happened to your black round-faced watch?

Miss I: Hurrmmmm...I left it in my car. Why? Do you like my watch?

A: No, I don’t like your watch. I asked because it’s not on your wrist. Miss Irrina, why did you leave your watch in the car?

Miss I: Akhil, can you stop asking questions?

Akhil: Okay *straight face*

And he never fails to wave at me everytime I leave school in the afternoon. He won’t stop waving until I wave back at him.

I’ll stop here for now. I’ll share about Akhil in future posts. Good day people!

akhil on the field during sports day.

professional divide

some of the boys sent friend requests on facebook. initially, i don't want to approve their requests, not until i finished my practicum. but when my colleagues approved their students friend requests thus, i am obliged to do so. apart from the boys barking at me in class. oh well, there goes my professional divide. on the lighter note, i get along with them beyond the classroom walls. i sometimes chat with them, talking about lighter stuff like hobbies and raya. call me unprofessional now, but this is the price i'm willing to pay to stay in their minds and to remain in their hearts.

twinkle twinkle in my eyes

class today was superb and i had so much fun. the girls end it up with nursery rhymes. but they stumble upon incy wincy spider. nanti kita hafal sama-sama eh girls =)

rambang mata katanya

J's deskmate is a chinese boy, as tall as J and not to forget, very good looking. very very good looking. but a sad thing it is, i still haven't figure out his name. i'm so gonna find his name. but J's still my no 1 eye candy =)

blush blush

well this happened during assembly earlier today, well actually there wasn't any dialogue but it'll give you readers clearer mental image. and oh, J is my f4 eye candy =)

miss I: (monologue) did he just winked at me? *turning my head left right and behind*

J: *grin and points at miss I*

miss I: *BLUSH*

the extreme ends

no wonder people doesn't like him. they can't relate to him. they talk about who's dating who and when's the indie gig and what's for berbuka but he talks about latest jaguar cars and recent F1 race and iron maiden. though they're within the same four walls but they are actually at the extreme world ends. it's okay boy, i'll try to relate to you and still maintain good bond with the others.

the day after

my dearest 2 Ikhlas made me cry yesterday. i wasn't sobbing but tears rolled down my cheek like girls watching chickflicks on a dateless weekend. en route to school today, of wanting to see their reaction and apologise (i only have 1period class with 4 Sc 2 on wedensdays), i really really hope i'll be given relief periods for 2 Ikhlas. and i did get two periods with 2 Ikhlas today. they were all very quiet and was not jumping, shouting and monkeying around as usual. truthfully, i miss the most annoying sound in my working life. i had a chat with saseendran, the assistant monitor.

miss I: why are they so quiet today?

saseendran: diorg semua da insaf teacher.

miss I: *smile*

saseendran: we all love you teacher. we don't want to hurt you and make you cry anymore.

miss I: *monologue* tau korang takut eh teacher da nangis macam orang putus cinta.

and today is akhil's birthday. remember the indian boy with asperger syndrome in my 2 Ikhlas? or i've never mentioned him in my blog? oh well, he came to the staff room and he saw his math teacher puan haslina.

A: heyy puan haslina, hari ni birthday aku!

PH: ye,happy birthday akhil.

Akhil pun beredar pulang ke kelas.

PH: haaa hambik kau dia 'heyyy' dengan 'aku aku ' dengan kita. nasib baik je dia sakit kan. *ketawa geli hati dengan seluruh bilik guru*

neverland

Never say goodbye, because saying goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting.

reaction

when a form 4 boy tries to hit on you, how do you react?

A) how sweet of you...

B) please behave. i'm your teacher

C) he's only 16. duhhhhh...

D) oh why oh why you are only 16 handsome boy??

my personal and truthful answer is D

happy retiring

Engku Tan Sri Ibrahim Engku Ngah, hope you enjoy retirement =) i grew up waiting eagerly for your ramadhan and syawal announcements

al-mubarak

where was i last ramadhan?

malayan tigers

TIGERS, i've told you not to purr. bad kitty. roar you kitty roar!

ohhh brother

i received a postcard. it's from london. with a night view of big ben or london bridge or something on the front. so here goes, a birthday wish from a land of the twin towers:-

dearest muhammad haikal,

it's been a pleasure knowing you. you're such a sweet sweet boy though you are a nutcase at times. i miss your company and so i hope we'll meet in the future. may 4JJI grant you with blessings, happiness, health and wealth.

sincerely,

irr

ps: apsal xtulis ape2 kat postcard? so aku bajet kau yg hntr. cantik gila tulisan tho

pilih kasih? OH NOOO!!!

Dear other students,I pity you guys and please try harder to get attention from me.

Sincerely, your teacher.

tabungan masa hadapan

teringat sewaktu cuti pertengahan tahun. kami ke tabung haji untuk menyimpan cek emak. kami pun ambil kesempatan tanya pegawai bank;

irr: kak, kalau nak transfer duit dari account overseas ke tabung haji macam mana eh?

kakak teller: akak tak sure lah dik.sekejap akak panggil manager eh.

seketika kemudian

manager bank: ye boleh saya bantu?
irr: kalau nak transfer duit dari account overseas ke tabung haji macam mana eh? ada swift code tabung haji eh?
manager bank: tak boleh lah. kena tanya bank lah kalau nak transfer duit.

irr: ni bukan bank ke?

manager bank: kita bukan bank, kita tabung. tabung haji

irr, nana dan mak : *chuckles*

after the talk has just finished...

A: (shouting from the ground floor) miss irrina! miss irrina!

miss I: (half yelling from the second floor) yes amzar?

A: ada spelling kan teacher? (walking faster and faster towards the stairs)

miss I: we won't be having spelling, English time has just finished.

magnet works best when there's metal

i'm currently undergoing my teaching practice at SMK Hulu Kelang, Ampang, Selangor. A small school yet very lively. And being a female teacher is that those 14-year-olds always grin at you hoping that they'll be your favourite. It's cute but I do think i got to be more serious with them. Happy happy teaching to me.

the one who should not be named

i always pay attention when someone mentioned your name

katanya hendak rapatkan jurang

satu persoalan yang tak kan terjawab selagi pemimpin kita tinggal di bandaraya dan tak ambil tahu perihal penduduk pinggir bandar, luar bandar, pekan-pekan kecil, pedalaman. persoalan jurang pelajaran.

katanya hendak rapatkan jurang, silibus sekolah disamakan, pelajar di mana-mana belajar perkara yang sama, walaupun kelebihan memihak pelajar di kawasan membangun yang banyak sumber dalam menyokong pembelajaran di sekolah seperti pusat tusyen dan lain-lain. adil di situ?

katanya hendak rapatkan jurang, tapi kenapa wujudkan sekolah kluster kecemerlangan? berapa sekolah luar bandar yang dapat sekolah kluster? mana mungkin tiada sekolah luar bandar yang bagus dalam satu-satu perkara. mungkin hoki, mungkin kriket, mungkin caklempong mahupun drama bahasa melayu ataupun kawad kaki. alih-alih sekolah kluster kecemerlangan tetap sekolah yang sudah 'established'. kolej melayu kuala kangsar, sekolah sultan alam shah, victoria institution, kolej tunku kurshiah. adakah ini yang dikatakan merapatkan jurang pelajaran?

katanya hendak rapatkan jurang, kenapa wujud sekolah berprestasi tinggi? ini cuma akan mengulang isi sekolah kluster kecemerlangan. cuma isu di sini, cuma 1 sahaja sekolah pedalaman yang mendapat status sekolah berprestasi tinggi iaitu sk ulu lubai sarawak. dalam malaysia ada 7709 sekolah rendah yang mungkin 2000 daripadanya sekolah pedalaman, tak mungkin satu saja yang berprestasi tinggi.

katanya hendak rapatkan jurang...

adorable

out of the norm, i often like celebrities not because of their art i.e. music, movies etc. but i happen to like most of them because of their charm and attitude. so i like lindsay lohan, so what? i do like selena gomez too. she is adorable. i just have to agree with ellen.

reading aloud

first step of being an english teacher : asking my 16 year old brother to read aloud my linguistic book.

violation can never be tolerated

you failed to realised that your doings lead people to anger and discomfort. you stupid moron. who ever your are, if i'll ever find out your name and run into you, i am so going to slap you. twice. or maybe thrice. you should never violate people's boundary. we have our own sacred rituals with our bestfriends.and you are about to ruin it.

being mediocre does not mean second-rate

al-fatihah to all hulu langat orphanage landslide victims and condolences to their family and friends.

a midsummer night's dream

their hard work deserve well done wishes but ours really really deserve the standing ovation

weakest form of faith

it has always been my conscience to never to hurt people emotionally. but i found out that silent treatment is the best way to drive people crazy. i was doing it to this 'someone' out of my own belief. in Islam, the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) once said 'If one of you sees something evil he should change it with his hand. If he cannot, he should speak out against it, and if he cannot do even that he should at least " detest " it in his heart, this being the weakest form of faith'. i tried talking to this 'someone'. it's not that i didn't try.

teacher's day with a doubt

i have this mixed feelings on teacher's day. some teachers are just plain bitches. i hope not to become one. i mean the latter one.

please stop, I just can't take it anymore.

malaysian tv series always attempt to be all cheeky and cute but they all end up insulting my intelligence.

Sometimes your weaknesses are the people you love the most.

the fifith season of the year - examination 'season'

i would be so touched if anyone would wish me for my birthday or my upcoming examinations and congratulate me in order of any achievement without me telling them to. so here goes..

dear muhammad haikal, all the best. go rock the exam hall!

decoy

grey's anatomy can be a great decoy if you feel like crying. and do try petronas' adverts too.

amerika oh amerika

org amerika ni saje je nk matikan osama ni hr ni,aku da la exam esok haha diorg propa nak failkan aku jugak ke ape xtau lah. dah lah tarikh mati nk sama je dgn hitler kan.over la org amerika ni.nnt jd fun facts plak

examination does not measure luck, it measures diligence

It struck me, of why it is so accustomed to many to wish good luck before examinations and I came to my own conclusion – examination does not measure luck, it measures diligence. and I am now opposing good luck wishes to examination candidates. so, fellow cohort five friends, may all of our hard work pays off.

oral health and beauty

ohh i forgot, i visited my dentist like ten times since new year and i'm now wearing braces. i look nerdier than ever.

seeing happiness is addictive

almost all blog that i read yesterday and today talk about the wedding of the century. i was home watching it too, but decided not too write about it. but instead, i rambled about being ready for this someone and all. and now i know why i did that, or any of us talk about marriages and all. seeing happiness is addictive. you see people being happy, and you want it too,so badly. trust me. it's happening to me now.

how heroic

quitting smoking is so heroic.and it's sexy if it's out of self-will.

i second mr. wilson

If you want to make enemies, try to change something. ~Woodrow Wilson

2:216

“Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu; Allah mengetahui, sedang kamu tidak mengetahui.”

"Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."

why not?

George Bernard Shaw once said: “You see things and say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’”

searching for a good read

i was on the net last week whilst busy completing assignments when i suddenly read the overview of this one book entitled THE INVENTION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE by shlomo sand (read:zand). it was originally written in hebrew. i have never had this urge of wanting to read a book as badly as this time around.

ps:maturity puzzles me.

boxed

and so i was thinking, about thinking out of the box. you see, many attempt to be different but ended up just to be as indifferent as ever. it's like this. you are in a box, and you got yourself out of it but you ended up in another box. and you remain inside.

for an example, the late yasmin ahmad, she was extraordinary. she go against the odds of typical malay films and land herself best director award. her first movie 'sepet' was somewhat different but her movies after 'sepet' was in a way very much like 'sepet'. and so she remained in the 'sepet' box. it's just another box you see.

so we should get out of the box, flatten in and keep it somewhere safe. because i believe we should go wander around to other boxes but it is very important to have a fall back. just suggesting.

psst psst...

you absorb more when you hear less.thus, whisper. whisper love to your loved ones.

what does your name tell people?

i have, once, succumb to au fait that my name is meaningless. but after 20 years of life, no i know what irrina means. i-ri-na as a girl's name is a variant of Irene (Greek), and the meaning of Irina is "peace".

ps:PEACE!

it's my birthday

i hope to age and mature.

birthday isn't all about the increase in numbers right.

cuteness is not deadly to alpha males

guys who drink strawberry milk are cute. at least that appeals to me.

congratulation malaysians

what about you?

when i miss someone, i stalk their facebook page.

examination

there exist blindspots in life, that is why we have to turn our head to look back. if not, expect accidents and collisions.

plain and it will always be

my blog will stay ad-free forever :)

a calling

i'd call it a calling because it's more than cravings.

i was doing a word search puzzle back then wellington. and this new page was about spanish cities. as i was doing it, i came across barcelona. then and there, i had this urge of wanting to go there. never i've heard or aware of anything about barcelona, except for the giant FCbarcelona. still, after a year, that wants is still firing in me. i am confusing right? how can a word search puzzle bring such a compulsion in my life??

NOKTAHBERTINDIHTUTUPKURUNGAN

it's no inception

i always have this weird kind of dream. it's a dream with no storyline. last night i dreamt me sitting on a bench in a lake garden, with a mineral water bottle in my right hand. the only thing that changes in the dream is the people who walk and jog pass.

a friend told me that dreams mirror your thoughts. is it true?

somebody please explain to me.

i have a leakage-proof container. it is for my melted heart everytime you do something awfully sweet for me so that i can freeze my heart back when you leave.

malaysians aren't rude, we're just second-rate.

i am very very generous with my tears. and my journey en route to seremban was rather a teary one.

i was on flight AK5253 alor setar-kuala lumpur last night after spending two days in kedah and perlis, attending wedding invitations. on board, my seat number was 26c, just behind two ladies with a newborn baby, probably around 1month old. when the aircraft door was shut, we depart alor setar airport and the pressure started rising, the baby was crying so loud i bet most of us can imagine. the guy who sat beside me and a girl sitting at the window seat were very quiet but the three other people to my right was, in my opinion, saddening. they shrugged upon hearing the baby's cry. that broke my heart. and my tears. the mother and the grandmother too can't do anything about it, what more shrugging can benefit. as disheartening as malaysians can be, these people made us look worse. university students with unruly mindset, future leader of the country, continuing the legacy of the forefathers. *sigh*

for those who shrugged: go make a baby, then only you'll know.

love and its boundry

it is not wrong to say i love you to your bestfriend of the opposite gender,because you know he/she deserves it for being with you for always.

procrastinate, you would not regret

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground.

“That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.

“He’s a fine looking boy” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.”

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter. “What do you say we go, Melissa?”

Melissa pleaded, “Just five more minutes, Dad. Please? Just five more minutes.”

The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride her bike to her heart’s content. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. “Time to go now?”

Again Melissa pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.”

The man smiled and said, “OK.”

“My, you certainly are a patient father,” the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said, “Her older brother Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d give anything for just five more minutes with him. I’ve vowed not to make the same mistake with Melissa.

She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. The truth is, I get Five more minutes to watch her play.”

yesterday, kakti took me out for a treat. we went out with another 2 friends of hers, kak ery and paan. kak ery is a blogshop owner : colour cycle while paan works for the infamous flora, etc... the renowned wedding planner whose works include Nadia S.M Nasimuddin, S.M Nasa & Marion Caunter, Serina Redzuan, Maya Karin and others. lora, etc... also owns a cafe: Flora Kafe, located in the same building, ampwalk jalan ampang. just next to the Residence Of The Royal Ambassador Of Saudi Arabia. the interior was fabulous. it WOWed me. food price is rather reasonable, quite cheap for a place this grand i guess. i had this sudden urge of taking my friends here in future occasions once i step into the cafe.

now i know that it's for the greater good.

i was upset. my weekend was spent at home doing nothing. i just slept all day. mak and ayah were out for a little gathering held by their friends on saturday. that wasn't bad enough because we had lunch at home together. but sunday was really terrible. they were gone before we even woke up. and kakti went out with harith to buy some veggies. up until 1, kakti has finished cooking lunch but mak and ayah are still not home. i was rather determine,packed my stuff and called ayah asking for their location. they're at our other house, babysitting oyen the fat cat. as i arrived at the other house to pick up some stuff and perform zuhur prayer, ayah told me that they went to agama class this morning and they're waiting for the kitchen contractor for the under-renovation new house to arrive at 3. and as i drive alone towards kuala lumpur, i felt sorry for myself, making assumptions and poor judgement. now i know that everything that they do, are for our greater good.

i'm touched

fear

No one is afraid of heights, they are afraid of the fall

No one is afraid to play, they are afraid to lose

No one is afraid of the dark, they are afraid of what's in it

I am afraid to say "I love you", I am afraid of the response

He who must be missed dearly

"Muhammad SAW said envy is permitted only in two cases: A man whom Allah gives wealth, and he disposes of it rightfully, and a man to whom Allah gives knowledge which he applies and teaches it."

running for the sake of what

yesterday, while finding my car in the parking lot, i ran into my ex-boyfriend, the first one. then i ran away from him. my heart was pounding and beating really fast. i don't know what i was thinking.

friendship can't be compared to flowers

because friendship does not wilt.

i gave this a deep thought over the holiday

happiness is a mood. not a destination.

happy belated birthday

people, meet ammar.

a true kelantanese.

a respectful boy.

a thoughtful brother.

a phenomenon.

noktah bertindih, tutup kurungan

You haven't lost your smile at all, it's right under your nose.You just forgot it was there.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

kekecewaan yang belum terubat

dalam pada menyiapkan assignment LTP(Linking theory and practice) yang require kami rujuk Huraian Sukatan Pelajaran Tingkatan 1, terjumpa satu mistake dalam document HSP tu. a silly mistake i would say. Simple past tense pun boleh penggubal tersalah tulis jadi Simple present tense. memang tak dinafikan ini cuma mistake yang sangat superficial, tetapi HSP ni document rasmi. besides, it is dated 2003. so, ada sangat banyak masa untuk go through dan amend mistakes.masih lagi kecewa.

hujan emas di negeri orang

orang kata, tak elok kalau kita banding-bandingkan perkara yang berlaku dalam hidup sebab seolah-olahnya tak bersyukur. tapi masa dekat Wellington kelas ada 12minggu je tapi dekat IPBA kelas ada 16minggu :(

ps: IPBA tak provide year planner besar boleh lekat kat dinding macam VUW. dah tak boleh nak tulis tarikh-tarikh assignment :(

matapelajaran

sarah, sarah,

setiap kali fikir subjek ape yg sedang berlangsung dalam lecture hall,

mesti aku teringat kau.

sebab dulu kau tanya, "ni matapelajaran ape eh?"

surat untuk yang jauh
