the beach

experts say, to reduce stress or just to feel better, enjoy nature. recently, i frequented a beach a stone's throw from my house just to relax & unwind. plus, i need to exercise as i feel weak & easily get tired at work.

about the beach, it's secluded & still very popular among locals as it is beautiful & untainted. the water is warm & the beach itself is shallow. so, we can see parents bringing their kids to play & swim. the youngsters also like to hang out here playing beach volley or just strolling along the sea side.

the beach, in a weird way has a remarkably soothing effect to me. at first, i went there just to entertain my niece & nephew as they were so enthusiastic bout making sand castle there. i've let them be with their mother & walked along the beach with my little sis. we walked up to the end & i found it tiring, but, inside, i felt so relief & calm.

it's true when all the ulamaks say that whenever u feel sad or down, nature is the best remedy. the wonders of nature would actually provide peacefulness & tranquility, at the most miserable & depressing moments in our lives. inexplicable but i assure you, it works. the beach, for example, gives a stretch of miracles & u'll be fascinated with the beauty of God's creation for us to ponder on & admire.

remember the movie 'the beach', starred leo di caprio? it was shown in the movie where a group of people, live covertly on an island just to be away & enjoy life. the setting was an amazing island with a heavenly view. it was stunning. the white sandy beach, the blue crystal water & some wonderful green sites made it believable that people can go through great length to hide the small heaven on earth.

as individuals with career, life, problems & fatigue, a beach is a solution. walk & enjoy the view, smell the salty breeze & embrace the cold wind. the wave itself is mesmerizing & can carry u way out of the troubles in ur mind. a picture can be perfect but experiencing it on your own is way more magical. try it.. :>

these are some of the pics for u to envy.

thank you

a simple 'thank you' would mean so much to a teacher. we work to educate people & never expect our students to repay us with material wealth or classy recognition. however, this simple phrase is forgotten & hardly use anymore


teaching in an established & competitive school, all the teachers work exremely hard to maintain its excellence. our school has been awarded the best school in the eastern zone for 7 years & increasing the number of straight a students every year. we teach our students to skillfully answer the questions & score as many marks as possible in every paper.


being responsible, all the teachers will work day & nite to finish the syllabus & ensure students have all the notes & materials for their subjects. we train & drill the students to score. we emphasize that education is crucial & they need to get A for every subject for them to pursue their dreams of being doctors, engineers, architects etc.

year and year, we manage to produce more and more students with tremendous results but year after year, we receive less and less 'thank you' from students. it sounds unprofessional to ask for a simple gratitude, yet, as humans, we would feel a lot better when our students 'remember' we are with them all the way to their success. im still new in the line but those who r veterans in this profession stated that it's NORMAL

in our enthusiasm to produce the highest numbers of A, we train our students to only study. we train them to only aim the highest in academic. we train them to only aim for 1 thing. SUCCESS. yes, they succeed. yes, they scored. yes, they academically competent. however, they r no longer human. they r no longer aware that they should have feelings too. they no longer remember that their success r not their's alone. it's a team effort, yet, their partners r forgotten right at the moment their so called great results r announced. the moment they know that they had succeeded. and unfortunately, their partners are their own old & selfless teachers.

i've seen hardworking teachers sacrifice all that they can to educate their students. it touched me deep in here when the same students came for their results & didnt even say hi to the particular teacher. they acted like their teachers are strangers. like they didnt even know each other.

it's a job like others but teaching also helps to educate us as humans. it taught us that humans can change easily. humans can easily break a relationship. humans can easily be forgetful. teaching itself is a great teacher to us :)

hari ibu

tiap kali bulan mei menjelma, pelbagai hari istimewa diraikan. antaranya, hari pekerja, hari wesak & paling penting, hari ibu. hari ibu, pada dasarnya adalah untuk meraikan kasih sayang ibu & pengorbanan yang dilakukannya.

for me, hari ibu sepatutnya diraikan setiap waktu. yela, waktu kita bersama ibu. xda siapa pun tau bila kematian akan berlaku & kita sendiri pun xtau bila kt akan pergi. im lucky coz i still have my mum with me today, to this very second. i appreciate her existence but then, sometimes, i still hurt her in certain ways. being cold & rude for example. i know she is hurt but i still do it out of tiredness & mood swing. tapi mak tetap baik. tetap je masak & lipatkan baju walaupun anak dia ni dh tua. tua la, dh 31.

ive always been close to mum as my other siblings too. yet, my mum said every daughter has her own different things to share. anak2 mak sume sygkn mak & we always make sure to be with her whenever we have time. im lucky again coz im working in my hometown & my dad was furious with the issue of renting at other place. so, im staying with them with my 2 younger sis.

sebagai mak, my mom has always been patient. mak ni pemendam & dulu dia slalu sakit sb dia x open up to people. dia ske smpn perasaan sedih & mrh dia sorg2 & it had taken a toll on her for years. since i was small till i was in form 1, mak slalu msk hospital. at that time, mana la nk paham yg mak jd g2 sb dia memendam rs tp bila bsr barula tau.

bila ktorg dh bsr ckit, alhamdulillah beban mak dh krg sb ktorg pn dh bleh tlg uruskan adik2 & umah. abah kuat kerja sb ktorg 7 beradik cuma selang 2 thn. jd, sume skolah. susah jgk la ms 2 tp ktorg sume kuat smgt & jimat belanja. xda nk foya2 mcm org lain.

mak amik upah jahit baju ms ktorg kecik & dia la yg jhtkn bj kurung ktorg spila dia dh x lrt lg. skang ni ktorg suh dia rehat je. igt lg kalo time raya, pg raye 2 mesti ada la yg duk jht butang la, zip la, sembat la, mcm2 lgla. bj ktorg la 2. tp mak buat sume 2 sb xnk anak2 dia xde bj raya. tkt ktorg sedih. maklumla, ms kck kt cuma tau nk je. xtau ssh ke x nk cr.

ms dpt smbg blaja kt itm, mak belikn teddy bear. namakanla dia BOBO. bear tu warna putih tp dh tua jd warna pun dh klabu asap. bear tu ada lg spi skang. ms dpt dia dulu thn 1996, skang dh 2009. hah, dh 13 thn rupenye bdk tu. hihi. ms blaja, bobo la tmnkn, jd slalu igt mak. mak psn suh blaja rjn2 sb i was the 1st who got offered to uni. my older sis, refused to go to uni sb ktorg ms 2 ssh. sedihnyer... ms p blaja, rs syg sgt kt mak & abah. bila duk jauh, igtn pd mereka jd bertbh kuat & rs tgjwb tuk belajar 2 tinggi. so, i worked really hard & managed to make both my parents proud of me.

i remember 1 time, i only have 1 sen in my wallet. im x kidding, ada 1 sen je. nsb baiknye, itm makan ditanggung. jd sume stdts mkn kt dewan mkn. i called my mom, guna reverse caj 2, told her i have only 1 sen & she cried. i needed money @ that time sb kena beli nota. sedih sgt pikirkn idup ktorg ssh & i cant do anything to help. at that moment, i know it all depends on me to change my family's fate.

mak idup ssh wpun dia anak org sng tp dia x komplen. abah pun x ckp pape. diaorg berdua tabah & bela anak2 mcm org lain jgk. mak mmg org yg sabar. anak2 membesar banyak ragam & perangai tp dia sabar je. mmg tuhan dh semat kesabaran yg tgi tuk jd ibu ni agaknye. aku pu kdg2 naik angin jgk ngan perangai adik2 or kakak tp mak sabar je.

bila sume dh bsr, tgl sorg je lg yg skolah, idup mak abah dh senang ckit. adik beradik pakat belikan abah kereta baru & belikan mak brg2. baiki umah & pelbagai lgla. sume tau, x ckp sume tu nk bls apa yg mak & abah buat tuk kami adik beradik spjg hayat kami ni. mak terutamanye.

sebab tu la, hari ibu bukanla 1 hari istimewa je dalam bulan mei, tp setiap waktu itu hari ibu bila kt bersama mak. mak bukan shj sabar, tp redha & sepjg ms doakn anak2 dia utk kebaikan. dia akan dahulukn kepentingan anak2 dlm sume perkara wpun dia x dpt pape akhirnye. kalaula sume org npk mak mcm tu, xda org dlm dunia ni akan sia2 kn mak dia.

biarla org lain x hiraukan mak dia, aku & adik beradik tetap syg mak abah. sb kami tau, xda galang gantinya mak abah dalam dunia ni spi bila2. we love u mak
