There goes 2008....
A month delay to wish ‘Happy 2009’…well then…Happy New Year and Salam Muharam!
Salam…
The typical Amani has finally updated her blog…here goes…
2008 has finally ended and here comes 2009. Sad to say, I hate the first half of that year! Be honest, sometimes, even horrible things can be bearable, but some things can haunt you. I hate the ‘bad dreams’ in 2008, which I’ll carry forward for the rest of my life….forever??? But I really learnt a lot from what had happen and with Allah’s blessing, I hope I’ll be fine. HOWEVER, that year began with a wonderful thing which I didn’t think it would turn out to be the cause of my happiness today. As how it started, although with the bumps and aches, towards the end, Allah granted me His blessings. Alhamdulillah…Definitely a real wonderful start for me for 2009…..
Once upon a time….
Well, for the first time ever, I celebrated my New Year away from home. Together with my beloved family…not all 26…just 71/2 of us, we went to Jakarta! It was fun though. The dark sky was filled with bright and interesting fireworks which started as early as the sunset. Imagine how the sky would be once the clock stroke 12 midnight…unbelievably amazing. That was my second time in Jakarta and I would love to go again and again. hehe!
So as for a little update on me, hmm…of course I’m proudly to say I’m working now. Alhamdulillah…Well, it has been few months since I completed my studies (finally…) I am now a Kindergarten Teacher in SS 1, specifically I’m teaching English and reading for the 3 to 6 years old. Nowadays, kindergartens have changed! Last time I remember came home with new song everyday. Well, that was what I remember about my kindy life, sing songs, recite prayers (I was in Islamic kindy before I changed to not-so-islamic kindy..hehe), sing songs again, makan, made friends, etc. There were still some writings but real simple ones and more colouring. Now, teachers have big shelf to arrange the students’ books accordingly. For my class, I have reading book of 2 levels (book 1-8 for each level), exercise books 1 & 2, reading record books and handwriting practice books. I do have some extra fun books for the kids. Well, you can’t help it when they have mood swing and suddenly decide not to write. So, that’s English. We have other subjects like Mathematics, BM, Agama, Montessori, General Knowledge, Science and Music and Movement. So you guess how many books the kids have. Don’t worry, this is not torturing. Kids nowadays are fast learners and they are eager to learn. At the end of the day, we still have fun and they are happily to be back the next day. There’s this one girl who came back for her 2nd year and her mom told us (teachers) how she misses her friend on school break last December. She ended up sleeping at night wearing school uniform and her hair was tied side tails like how she did every time she came to school. Adorable…
Fun?! Oh definitely, every day I came home with funny stories I shared with my nieces and family. After this, I will start sharing with you!Insya Allah ;p I love with what I’m doing. It’s not easy to teach little kids actually and having lots of patience is fundamental. But the most important thing is, you are happy with what you are doing. Atleast, that’s what I believe in…
I guess that’s all for now…May you will have a bless year and many, many happiness every months, weeks and days….Amin.
...life goes on...
