With this, happy holiday!!! I'll be on leave starting tomorrow until June 3rd, 2018. So, most probably am not going to update anything here. Meeennnnnnn, need to reset body and mind before start the new semester later in June.
Adios!
Life as an educator: Part 3 - Do you know...
Do you know what are the things that make us the educator feeling sad? And disappointed?
One of the things is when you get caught cheating during exam. It marks as a failure in fulfilling our job as an eductor. Seriously.
Personally to me, when something like this happen, it feels like my world has been crushed down.
It feels like, what have I done wrong that triggers you to cheat during exam?
It makes us feel like a failure.
A failure to nurture you into a good person.
A failure to shape you into someone with responsibility.
It is a failure.
We may not say it to you, or even show you how disappointed we feel, but you never know..
When we get home, when we are alone, we tend to wonder why this happen. Is it really our fault or it is just the students themselves....
So for long am in this field, working in a higher institution, there was only one time one of my students got caught cheating during exam. I remember how I felt. Devastated. Disappointed. You name it. I kept on questioning myself for few days. Where did I do wrong? What did I do to deserve this kind of attitude? I was there for 16 weeks and all I asked was for you to do your best in three hours time. And yet you gave me this. Hhhhmmmm
Yesterday one student got caught cheating in exam. Ironically the student said there were two other students who cheated as well. No names were given. They planned it together but only one got caught.
You see, 15 minutes before the exam starts is very crucial for you. You have to be at the exam room or hall for at least 20 minutes before the exam starts. Some people will say that, owh, why so traditional and so on. Hey, that 20 minutes we read to you the administrative order on the conduct of exam. We tell, instruct you, before we go and check on you one by one. When we say, please check if you bring any papers into the room, even blank papers, please put them away outside. How good is that... Hhhmmmm
From my own perspective, it's not only exam. Besides to measure your knowledge, to evaluate you, exam teaches you to be responsible in your own doing, to teach you to take responsibility in your own action, to teach you on how to discipline yourself. When people say, abolish exam, it's not relevant anymore, I feel like, huh?! Say whatever you want to say, but you have to look at the other side and think deeper before you say those things.
I had one student before. She did diploma in other college before she went to continue her degree at our institute. I still remember she said this.
When I first got here, I was surprised. Especially during exam. At my previous college, they were not strict during exam. We even cheated. Sometimes the invigilator just left us in the room without supervision. And there were times they just wrote down the answers on the white board for us to copy.
I was like, are you serious? What's the point of having exam if you did that?
Dear students, if any of you come across this page, think before you do anything. Especially cheating during exam. We were all students once, so we know whatever tactics you try to use to cheat. We are not that stupid enough to let you risk your life to get caught for doing this. Just don't disappoint us. Just remember this, when you cheat, you are actually dragging down your own attitude as a person. Don't keep this kind of thinking, oh it's ok, this is my first time doing this, next time I will not do anymore. Just don't.

Tea-time with Secret Recipe
This just happened in less than one hour ago.
Sylvia bought a cake from Secret Recipe.
So we had tea time at the office pantry since most of lecturers were free.
Gosh.
It's such a waste if you don't have Secret Recipe at your place.
😃😃😃😃😃😃
One of favorite places to get any kinds of cakes too.
Check out their website at the link below.

Thank you for the cake, Sylvia!
Life as an educator: Part 2
You see, there will always be ups and downs when you are in this field. As an educator, I've been through the bittersweet of teaching life. I may not have that vast experience. From my own perspective, I think I had seen enough, although it may not be that enough. It just enough for me.
Do you want to know what keeps me happy? What keeps us the educator happy?
From my own experience, it would always be words. Words like thank you, it's nice having you to teach us, we'll meet again next semester. Hahahaha, you never expect that, didn't you?
Honestly, those kind of words keep me overwhelmed, keep me feeling appreciated by my students. It even help to cure and relieve my stress.
I may not show you how much I love hearing those words, but if you look closely, you will see my little smile at the end.😊😊😊😊😊
For me, I just don't need fancy stuffs or gifts or foods from students. The words that you utter to me that I normally and always remember the most. And the most expensive gift, the most valuable gift that I expect from you is to see you excel in your academic, and also in your life after you graduate. I'll be thankful enough for I know I've done my little part in shaping you. That is what I called life.
Since it's almost the end of semester February 2018, few more days before the final exam starts, few students came and brought food. Received cupcakes the other day, thank you very much. I truly appreciate it. Received fried bee hoon yesterday too, thank you very much. I was on diet, but never mind, I ate them by the way. Hahahaha

Thank you, class!
You know it's almost end of the semester if you start to receive things from students or someone leave something on your desk...
And today, I received this.
My students were like,"Miss, we left something on your desk."
And me,"Really?"
Auuwwww, so sweet...
Sweet like BTS Suga.
Well, you know how I love seeing Suga's smiles. Hahahaha
It's addictive.
😁😁😁😁😁
Aaaaa... Looks cute. See the icing. I just use my finger and tasted the icing. Tasted so goodddddd
I assumed it was done by FR Pâtissier (based on the sticker there).
Maybe you should give it a try.
Based on the taste of the icing, I like it. Hahahaha
Seriously, thank you, guys, for these cupcakes. I really appreciate it.
I wish you all the best in the coming final exam.
Specifically to my Testing and Evaluation in Education class. Huhuhu
I guess I'll not be meeting you guys next semester since most of you will start to attend classes for your major subjects.
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Life as an educator: Part 1
There was this one student came to see me yesterday.
I asked her, "Ada apa?"
And she said,"Nothing, I was just passing by. I had class later."
I knew it, but it just that I wanted to ask her.
She looks sad. The sadness in her eyes. Am a good observer. You just cannot lied me.
So I told her,"Don't cry."
I asked her, "How's your father?" I know about her struggling between study and responsibilities as a daughter. I know her father has been warded in the hospital since last week. He is on the surgery waiting list for brain tumor removal. He was attacked by stroke too.
I feel her. Juggling between her study and her responsibilities, it's just.......*sigh*
She talked on her father, I asked her on her families. You know what, she has to travel by public bus all the way from Serian to Kuching and back to Serian whenever she has classes to attend. If it's not peak hours, it will take around one hour. If it's peak hours, it can goes up to one and a half hour. When I listened to her stories, I felt choked up. It somehow felt exhausted.... I just couldn't imagine how she managed to deal with everything.
To be honest, am not good in comforting people. Am not good in with words. My vocab is so limited. All I can offer is just to lend my ears. Am good in listening, good in keeping secrets.
All I could say to her, "take care of your father while you can. Family cannot be replaced. Maybe now you feel a little burden, but to think of it again, keep holding on and be strong so that you will not regret anything later."
I didn't want to say much to her. Am afraid coz I have a soft heart. I don't want to end up being the one who is tearing up. Hehehe
I could see tears in her eyes and she tried hardly to avoid looking at me. So I told her, "Don't cry."
And she tried to giggle and asked to leave. I just watched her leave...
May God bless you and your family. May the surgery goes smoothly. May God be with you always. There is always a blessing behind every difficulties.
Being in this industry for 6 7 years now, I saw many things, I listened to many stories...
And all those made me feel, blessed in some ways....
P/s: Listen to many, talk to few.
