Back For Good

Filed under: mindlesspeak

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyewwww!

I’ve finally been released from the shackles of having trainees with me. At one point, I actually had up to THREE trainees with me. What a handful. I can’t squeeze them all inside the staffroom, so I had to hole up in the lab. Personally, I prefer hanging out in the staffroom as I get to talk to the teachers around me.

And as a result of me having trainees, I really wasn’t able to blog. One of them has this irritating habit of popping up to me and asking me questions on every single thing imaginable. Really, really lacking in initiative. I just wish her all the best in whichever school she’s in now.

Anyway, enough of all that talk about trainees. I’m back and I will blog more often from now on!

The Lucky Draw
So what’s been happening lately? Well…for one thing…for the first time in my entire life, I won in a lucky draw. Yeah and its the FIRST PRIZE too! I spent three years working as a teacher in my previous school. Three years…didn’t win a lucky draw prize during Teacher’s Day dinners. And every other time. Entered so many competitions, didn’t even manage to win a consolation prize. But in my first year as an IT Trainer, I ended up winning the first prize hahaha….

How I wish I had that kind of luck during my wife’s D ‘N’ D many months back. The first time was an LCD TV! What I won was nothing as significant as that, but to me, getting the first prize was just thrilling! Just imagine…out over 80 people, I won the first prize! Freaking wow! I’ve actually gotten over it by now, but just typing this out makes me feel blessed once again :)

Baby Blessings
Speaking of blessings, my baby’s making huge progress in life. She’s had her first steps and she’s been starting to babble. The babbling’s just nonsense, but its a precursor to continous speech. In addition, she’s able to point out at certain things such as CAT, BIRD and FAN to us. I made sure that she’s pronouncing the words right. No meow-meow for cat. Its just CAT.

Hikmah 3
On another note, we’ve finished watching HIKMAH 3. Yes…not HIKMAH 2 which is trundling along on Suria. All 40 CDs cleared within the space of two weeks. How did I manage that? Well…I’d fast forward the parts where I deem irrelevant to the storylines that matter. I can’t stand having to sit through the ramblings of all these bit part actors on TV. Sometimes the segments can be so insanely boring. However, when you rent the VCDs you have the pleasure of not caring about whatever is happening to whoever that person is. I don’t know and I don’t care. I only need to know about what’s happening to Adrian, Arman, Adit, Bu Ratna, Ana, Marla and Amanda. And let me tell you…there’s lots of eye candy in HIKMAH 3 ;)

Ramadhan
And finally, its Ramadhan once again. My aim is to be more proper with my fasting. Fasting is not just about abstinence from food. Its about controlling yourself as well. I’m ok with not eating or drinking. But I have to be more careful of what I say. Sometimes swear words come out from my mouth without even me realising it. I hope that I’d be able to stop this bad habit. And I’d like to perform my terawih prayers with my wife too.

Selamat Berpuasa kepada semua Kaum Muslim serata dunia!
