There is this one class that I'm teaching this semester & I like that class a lot.

I've been liking them since the first day that I met them, but I tried not to 'fall' for this class too early or too easily. I gave myself some time to observe them & get to know them a little bit more.

And now it is almost the end of the semester. I made a conclusion. I like them. Really really like them.

Will post some of their pictures some time later. I'm just too happy today that I think I should make this quick post ;)

p/s: They are really cute as well. Have you ever seen you friend sweeping the floor of the class back in the university? There's no duty roaster like those that we have in school. This student was sweeping the floor while waiting for his other classmates to arrive. I was shocked okay.. When I asked him where did he get the broom, I think he said he got it from the 'makcik India' or something, the lady who cleans the college. How sweet :D

Hye all..

It's obvious that I haven't updated my blog for so long. I do have a lot of things to tell and to share, but I guess since I'm addicted to Facebook now, I just don't spend that much time visiting my own blog.

My life is okay at the moment, just okay, far from fine or amazing. It has been very very challenging lately. Too many unexpected incidents have been occurring, those that were never expected to happen. But I'm trying to take things slow & easy now. If things were already set to happen, then we should just let them happen, right? As long as I can stand them, then I'll deal with them slowly. After all, I always believe that God won't test us with such incidents if He knows we're not capable of handling them, right? So, relax je lar..

Owh, and I just learn one thing. Don't judge a book by it's cover. I know this is old and lame, but I just got the chance to apply it to one of the recent incidents. Haha.. I learn that we should take our time to study and read a 'book' cover to cover, and after you have finished reading it, take your time to understand the 'story'. Never jump into conclusion so fast, or you might regret doing so later on.

Haish.. life has been so weird nowadays & I feel like I've grown up too fast now as I have to think, act and handle matters like an adult now. I mean like a real adult ok. I'm only 24, so I'm still just a young adult, isn't it? Oh my.. Maybe I should complete the transition by changing from Miss Ainur to Madam Ainur soon. Huahuahua..

Out for now. Will continue writing once I got the mood to do so :)

The 'C' drivers

I call these people as C drivers.

Yesterday morning, I went to Era Gemilang, a restaurant near Shahputra College where my friends and I always have our breakfast every morning. We go there almost every day. The foods for breakfast there are nice, and I like the mee goreng there. Delicious!

But this post is not about the restaurant. This post is about this one female driver, who thought just because she’s driving a Camry, and I’m only driving a MyVi, thus she’s a better driver than me. Excuse me!

We went for breakfast with my car, because our dear Sara was fasting yesterday. If not, we might have gone there with her car and she'd be the one driving, because I don’t like to see my parking space to be taken by other lecturers by the time I got back. So the story is, when we were about to return to the college, we entered the car, switched on the engine, and put my gear on Reverse. I slowly reversed my car, while looking at the back through the mirror. Suddenly, this Camry behind me HONKed me as if I have HIT her car. WTH! I got so mad, okay? I don’t know what her problem was, but my sensor didn’t even give out a sound at all yet, not even a minor warning. (If you have a car, you know the difference between the sounds, right? The sound when you almost hit the car at the back and the sound when the car is still a little far from yours.)

I quickly looked back, looked at the driver and she gave me an angry look. What is your problem old lady?? Just because you’re driving that huge Camry, does that mean my MyVi has no reverse sensor?? What were you thinking?? Local cars DO have Reverse sensors also, ok? So I’m sure that I’ll know perfectly if I’ve hit your car, alrite? Gosh!

But no surprise, because once we hit the main road, the crazy lady came next to our car. I tried to look at her, but she looked away. And when she turned to the other junction, I cursed and I get to check her plate number. It starts with ‘C’. And my reaction was, “No wonder.”

I’m not a good driver like others who have been driving for years, to tell you the truth. I had my license a few years ago, but I just started driving 2 months ago. But I know that I do drive well. I do have an experience of hitting people’s car before, but it happened only once, because it was so dark and I reversed too quickly. I admit that it was my mistake. But with that Camry driver, I was crazily slow, ok?

Since I started driving around here, I notice this one thing. The drivers here can be so annoying, not sometimes, but most of the time. I don’t understand why do they like to drive on the right lane when they are very very slow, and they don’t even understand the hint when you stay close right behind them to make them move to the left but still, they don’t even care! I can still remember driving around KL with my sister. If there are drivers like that on the road, they’ll get a bunch of free honks by other drivers. I wish I can do that here. But since I’m on other people’s land, I guess I have to ‘respect’ their culture. I don’t get to hear many sounds of people honking (they don't use it I guess.) And it seems like a habit for them to drive slow on the wrong lane.

I’m not a road gangster or whatever you call it, but I’m just trying to drive peacefully and happily. I do follow road rules, okies? I do have the experience where the JPJ people stopped me when they were doing road blocks, but I know that these young officers were doing so just because they see a young lady driving, not because of rules-breaking. (Another annoying thing here in this C land. Aren’t they miang or what??) But these ‘C’ drivers are always the ones that are making me crazy. My friends are so used to my line, they can even repeat after me whenever I curse and say, “Argh..patut la, plate C!” Hahaha..

No offense to you people from the C land ya. Unless if you belong to this group of drivers. Hehe..

PEACE :D

S to the M to the L.I.E =)

"Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it."

I read this quotation to my Semester 1 students, which was taken from their textbook, and asked them, "What do you think of me? Do I look like a lecturer to you?"

Most students said yes. But there are a few who have different opinions.

3 students answerd me this: "You look like my sister." (An honest answer. Cute)

1 student said: "You don't look like a lecturer, but more like a teacher." (Eh..???)

When I asked her why, she said, with a complete facial gestures, "Because you smile all the time, and you always have this big smile on your face during the whole class!"

And I was like.. Thanks for the compliments, but don't all lecturers smile???

PEOPLE ALWAYS LEAVE

If you’re a fan of One Tree Hill, for sure you’ll recognize this artwork nicely done by P.Sawyer. And if you watch that famous TV series since its very first season, I bet you know the story behind this artwork, and I’m totally experiencing her sadness at the moment.

I’m beginning to lose friends and the people that I care recently, just like her. These past few months have been crazy. They are leaving, one after another. We get separated due to some possible but unavoidable reasons, but still, to be separated with someone that you know they are alive somewhere is very much painful. Sending a few SMS or calling each other for a quick 5 minutes call will never be enough compared to the huge time we used to spend together each day, okay?

I know life will be much more challenging as you grow older, but I seriously can’t handle this one part. Sometimes I wonder, why do I have to meet these people when in the end we’ll be separated? I get tired of making news friends at times, as they leave you when you just started to care for them. Different people have their own path of life, I’m aware of that. They have their very own rights of what path to choose or what things they want to do with their life. But I wish I know what path they’ll choose right before I know them, so that I don’t have to be so close to them, and care for them dearly. An impossible wish, of course.

I get tired of feeling sad. The feeling is unbearable. I feel so disappointed, frustrated and very much broken hearted just to watch them leave. Sometimes, I get so sad that it made me say how I regret knowing them. A little unfair, isn’t it? I wanted to say, " I regret you have to leave " so much. But I’m too sad that I didn’t bother to explain to them that what I’ve said are not to be taken literally.

However, I should be thankful that I get to know these people even for a short while. At least I get to enjoy their company and create some good memories that can be recalled afterwards.

Well then, life is indeed challenging, right? If it’s not, that it won’t be called life after all.

But the number is increasing. 1, 2, 3… who’s next? Maybe I should start buying farewell cards now and just write the person’s name on the day he or she is leaving, because even red lights can’t stop them.

*To ALL OF YOU, I miss you so much, okay? Take care, and good luck with your life.
