Blogging Experience

2007-10-25T09:45:00.000+08:00

hmmm...

Well, final day of the blogging experiment... haha... For me i do enjoy spending time blogging .. but on the other side i don't if I am obliged to do everyday. except for this experiment, i do it on my own will..... hehe

I'll only blog when there's something special event happening around me. Or not i won't blog because i find it's a waste of time if you blog unnecessary stuffs. But there are pros as well, such as to improve your grammar and writing skills. These i do agree as it did happened on me when i used to write my diary.

After four days of blogging, i find blogs are useful when you are to share your ideas, discussions, and current issues with people around the world. Besides, it's good that the blogspot web page provides a comment column for people to give their thoughts on what we wrote. Therefore these are why i find blogging is beneficial.

Last but not least..... Thank you for giving me the chance, I hope i did help a bit in completing this experiment. All the Best!!! May the force be with you.... LOL...

Today was my 3rd day working as a kindergarten tuition teacher at KUMON centre. KUMON has a special system in which it gives the kids lots homework to do, and then we teachers will do the marking. It has ample branches in KL as well, not only PD. I heard from Amelia saying that the fees they charge for 2 people are equivalent to my room’s rental per month!!! Foohhh… no wonder kids from here were slightly different from kids at other tuition centers...

From 1.30pm onwards till 8pm, kids aged 4 till primary 6 will be seen entering here every hour on Tuesday and Friday. Class work will be given to them and they are required to finish within certain. This centre offers Mathematics only and trains its students to calculate using their mind, not fingers. Surprisingly they can do it… kids nowadays are smarter than the previous generation… time changes everything… LOL

Amelia and I are working together also. She’s the one who introduced me this job. Our tasks are more to marking than teaching because Luna- KUMON’s owner, will do the teaching. We will help along if there too many students to handle at a time. Due to many students registering at this centre, they will hand up their bunch lot of homeworks to us to be marked. Sometimes we need to stay up a little late just to finish marking. Today we left at 9pm, still we have not finish our work because the kids’ holidays have just ended and we have given them a week’s work to complete at home. Therefore, when they return, there will be a pile of mountain’s height of papers waiting for us. Haihhh…..

Although it’s tiring, but I get to get closer to kids and know them. I enjoyed being around with kids, not only they are adorable to look at, their laughter and eagerness to learn new stuffs have added a smile on me.

Fishballss....yeahh!!!

Home sweet home… hehe… Woke up in the early morning to have breakfast with mom and Ah Boh (aunt). Ah Boh has just taken her blood test before breakfast at the hospital, to assist her medical check up tomorrow. I’m really worried for her health since the incidence… Doctor said the stroke that struck her made her health deteriorate. He had also advised aunt to take nutritious food and live a healthy life to prevent worsening her condition…

Later on, we headed to the wet market because mom wants to buy her raw materials for cooking “Asam Laksa”… mmmm…yummy yummy… Mom’s cooking is always the greatest of all… She did bought 2 so called “Fishball fish” cos I told her I wanna try making fish balls today.. haha… I forgot what is “Fishball fish’s” genuine name… alahh… as long as it is black and silver coated, has long shape and meaty type of aqua creature… LOL.. To my surprise, these 2 fishes cost us 35 barks!!!!! Ridiculous… are we having inflation? Or is it means that our standard of living has just got better? Higher?
I don’t know….

The process of making fishballs was really fun. Got the recipe from aunt in making fishballs… Ingredients are just the basic boneless fish meat, salt water and tapioca floor.. that’s it… so easy…haha…But the process of mixing the ingredients is the tough part!!! It requires patience… patience…and patience…Or not the end result won’t be satisfying… It’s not that easy though…..

I cant say that the fishballs I made were a success, but at least mine was tastier, smoother, and more “look alike” fishballs compared to the one made by my mom and dad last time. Haha….they did admit that my fishballs are gourmet…. Hahahaah

When you are determine to do something, action makes your thoughts possible, thoughts made you realized that nothing can be done unless you try!!!

Hmmm…. Going back PD today with dad.

I broke my driving record as well…ahahah…It was my first experience driving from Tiara to Team Power Centre, from there I drove zaboh back…. And I drive back all the way from PJ back to Seremban… Cool…Can’t believe I actually did it, although my heart was pumping vigorously.. The heavy rain fall had also added pressure on me….to be more careful on road… BUT, the interesting part is that I get to experience them and learn from mistakes made!!

Actually dad does not really willing to let me drive his Gen 2, he prefers driving me back rather than I drive. I won’t blame him because he was just worrying on his daughter’s safety. However, he risks letting me on my own! Thanks to dad, if not I would not be able to grow independently….

After we reached Tiara, me and za boh went SHOPPING at The Curve and Ikano!!!... haha… we took cab there as I do not have the guts to drive… 3 Reasons:

KL drivers are unpredictable…
I would not want to risk our lives…
Gen 2 is considered a big car for me compared to the Kelisa I usually drive…Big cars need more and special skills to handle…

Today was also my first day stepping Ikano’s ground…. Felt shameful because I have never been to Ikano since foundation till now… (a year )…I was shocked and I didn’t realize that nearly all shops at Ikano were kinda huge….haih… should have been here early to shop for clothes, should have draw more money, should have shop here longer ….

In conjunction with the commemoration of yoga's guru, PJ Ananda Marga Yoga Society had organize a charity trip to Taman Megah's Handicapped and Disabled Children's Home to do public services. Members from the Ananda Marga Centre, UTAR Sg. Long’s and UTAR PJ Yoga Society had come along to shower their love to the disabled kids.

Once we (me and ZaBoh) arrived there, we greet the home’s authorities, and then the kids. There were approximately 200 children, ranging from infants till adulthoods. We were told by our yoga instructors to carry them, sing and talk to them to make them feel our love and of course… to be happy seeing us.

I got to know a few of the kids’ names, (Patrick, Ah Fok, Lim, Selina, Vivian, Kah Hao, Vikram, Shamsiah…)which I still remember clearly till now and also their adorable faces. Kah Hao, Vikram, and Shamsiah were the normal kids without any physical disabilities. They stayed at the home to help out the needy kids. We both really had fun chatting and playing with them, especially during the cleaning part, they were so so helpful… As we approach Lim, he was kind of refraining from us when we tried to sing and talk to him. He has speaking and moving disability and is supported by a belt when he sits so that he would not fall off.

Honestly, seeing them in a condition in which even the kids themselves couldn’t do anything independently, tears were falling in my heart. I dare not show my tears because we are here to give them joy, not to feel sorrow along with them. It’s the Love vibration that keeps them living and free from grief!!!

Out of a sudden, I saw ZaBoh’s eyes were filling with tears. I understand she was touched and at the same time, feeling sad when seeing Lim’s facial expression. It was heartbreaking, but still we tried our best to bring happiness to all of them, hoping that they know that there are people out there caring and loving them.

After spending few hours with them, youth members like us were to help to clean up the surrounding area, such as picking up wastes, clear the drain, wash the pond and more. Well, me and za boh did the pond….hehe.. it was fun… and funny thing was that I didn’t know that adding salt in the pond can prevent mosquito from breeding its generation….haha…

It was exhausting cleaning the huge compound…. But it’s worth doing for the sake of providing the children a better environment to live in….. Before leaving, Ananda Marga presented a cheque amounted RM2000 for the home’s welfare, along with daily necessities…..

It was a memorable day, it has painted my life colourfully….
