On Eagles' Wings

Have you missed me? :D It's been ages! So much has happened that I can't even begin to describe everything from where I last left off. @.@ I've been diligently updating on the Other Blog , though. So hopefully, once my practical is over, I'll be able to pick out certain highlights from there and blog about it here :) As it is, I don't have time to leisurely blog about what happens in school here. At least, not in how I'd like it to be. It'll take time and thought. Which I can't really afford on a normal school night :P (Do I sound like I've regressed 10 years and have a curfew? xD) Anyway, it's the mid-year holidays now. I've got a precious two weeks......well, less than that now, since it's already Tuesday. @.@ I've been catching up on all my favourite channels on Youtube (since in UKM, I can't really load videos in my room. It just doesn't load at all! :/) and my favourite bloggers :D It feels good to just.....br...

I've just survived a week in school. Honest to God, I don't know how I'm going to survive four months. I'm falling apart, breaking down every few days, stressed out of my mind! I don't know how my dad, and other teachers, can do this every day for the past 30 years. I don't know if I even want to, now. Q has been rather good to me this week. No problems, except for a little creaking and cranking when I turn right, sometimes. @.@ Thank God. Finally, a photo of my baby! :D SMK PP 14(1) is a school with a Malay population of 99.99% (thereabouts. I don't know the exact number). While I don't really have any real problem with that, it has, however, severely limited my wardrobe choices . There is only one single non-Muslim female teacher, who happens to be the Ketua Bidang Bahasa  (Head of Language Department) and every single day (for the past week I've been observing her) she wears a baju kurung . Nothing that doesn't completely cover...

I was so grouchy and grumpy waking up at slightly before 7.00am this morning. Makes me wonder how I'm going to be able to wake up at 5.00am every weekday morning to go to school. >.< I was absolutely delighted that the Officer at the Putrajaya Education Department, Pn. Khairul Bariyah gave a pretty simple briefing that did not last for hours and revolved around the same darn thing which could have been said and done with in 15 minutes. I like her. She was warm and had a friendly face, and had a knack for putting people at ease :) Unfortunately, the only advice she wanted to give us was to "be careful". Why? Because many of the children who go to these schools in Putrajaya are sons/daughters of Somebodies. Maybe not the Menteri's  kids, but possibly the Menteri's   driver's  kids--okay, maybe they're sons/daughters of People-who-think-they-are-Somebodies. Anyway, she kept trying to make us feel better--which makes me wonder if things aren't ...

I am seriously disappointed with the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. Yes, you. MOE. Hello! I hope you read this. Well, allow me to explain why  I am so utterly disappointed with them! Let's just put aside the fact that our silly Minister of Education Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin they change their mind on national policies as if it were simply changing the channels on the TV. I'm referring to the learning of Maths and Science in the medium of English. First they're for it, then they're completely against it, citing a drop in achievement in those subjects in the latest public examinations as the reason they're reverting back to BM. Well, it's either they are seriously naive in expecting that such a radical educational change across the nation's schools will yield instant results, or they're proving to the rakyat  that they have no stand whatsoever and are willing to do whatever it takes to appease and buy voters for the upcoming elections. Let...
