Holiday ends so soon

Time flies. I haven’t done my weekly reflection. I’m so good at killing time. I spent my holiday mostly snuggling in bed. Was rainy in Manjung since Tuesday, and it has been an indescribable pleasure to sleep ever since. I got back my beauty sleep. Yeay! No more staying up late till 2-3 am in the morning, because of writing lesson plans and preparing teaching materials. I don’t depend on caffeine. I am rejuvenating. No more eye bags. No more wrinkle and stress. More beauty sleep. Hikhik.

So yeah, I’m missing my bed. Comfy flowery cool cotton bedspread. Huu. It’s ending soon. I have to pull my socks up and snap back to reality. Ouh. Reality is harsh.

Tomorrow is school. I wonder if the kids remember the homework that I gave to them.

PS: I am currently listening to Madonna’s “Holiday”. Huu T_T

Fashionable geek

So, having a blog which makes a geek (read: boyfriend) cringed upon loading, will lead to endless argument. So, I’ve read Adam’s entry, which suggest SEO analysis site, and I thought of giving it a try.

I typed Qalamun.com and in less than 1 minutes, it reports my blog statistics. *holds chair for support*

It’s a very detailed report, mind you. Long detailed report but quick. Faster than your blood test result. It also gives recommendations on how to improve your blog. This is a quick, compulsory test I would say for fashionista’s blog because most of fashion blog have enormous size of images. Of course, we like to post pictures yada yada but still, we want to give pleasure to our readers. Having a blog which uploaded slowly like a sloth is sooo not fashionable.

So these are reports for most clicked fashion blog.

Mamma Mia! The Movie

It’s coming worldwide. The famous musical is finally being filmed and Pierce Brosnan is in! How cool is that? I don’t care if he can’t sing but I know the fact that he can act. I miss his appearance on the screen and I’m glad he’ll be in Mamma Mia!. More good news (hold your chair ladies and gentlemen) Nuffnang is giving FREE TICKETS for lucky Nuffnangers!

I should sing: Pierce Brosnan, how can I resist you?

Since I used to be in Plymouth, I know the fact that musical or theater is being showed in Plymouth first rather than London (because Plymouth’s audience is hard to be pleased). And Mamma Mia has travelled wide and far ever since. So, Mamma Mia! musical have been going around and still received great applause. Not it has moved to a greater step, Hollywood.

Uhhh, I can’t wait to hear their British accent (well except, Meryl Streep).

If it gives the same impact like musical, people will be singing and humming, although the movie ended. If you’re lucky, some might be dancing merrily. So, who’s going to put on retro fashion back?

Tips for those who are wearing hijab

Disclaimer: I was doing some housekeeping and found my old magazine. I haven’t post about fashion for a long time. Thus, I’m giving a try to post fashion tips for Muslimah. I am combining Polyvore and WordPress and some of my personal tips. Whalla! (Translated from Dara.com 3rd edition, September).

It is important to have some knowledge of fashion, even though you are wearing hijab. Hey, wearing hijab doesn’t mean that you can’t be fashionable. So I am sharing some tips for girls out there, to appear with confidence, graceful and moderate as a Muslimah should be.

1- Try to avoid bright and white colour. This will add more volume to your body. Try dark colours like dark blue, black and dark green. Do not have too much colour at one time. This will make you look like a ‘rainbow’, which at the same time, will attract many people.

QDB.us: Studied in England?

Suatu hari di kelas 4 Melati.

Gegirl: Teacher, have you studied in England before?

Me: Urm, why do you say so?

Gegirl: because from the way you speak. I think you studied in England.

[10 seconds of awesomeness]

Me: Yes, I used to study in England. (sambil hidong menahan kempas kempus).




I thought I lost the accent but yeah my students are good listeners. So far, none complained about my accent and they even challenge me cognitively. Seriously! So yeah. Go British English. Go Austin Power!! Hahah.

Motif permainan telefon berkarat

Pernah main permainan ni?

Di mana orang paling awal akan menerima mesej, dan perlu menyampaikan mesej secara berbisik, sehingga ke giliran orang terakhir.

Aku bermain permainan tersebut, sewaktu aktiviti kokurikulum di sekolah, Sabtu lalu. 2 round, they didn’t deliever the message correctly.

Motif? News, info, gossips that we passed around, orally, usually incorrect. It tends to be added with extra spices, thrills, and controversial, or usually edited with some omission of important details and plots. Samasa tokok tambah, atau cerita yang telah dipotong2. Selalunya versi pertama masih dapat mengekalkan versi asal, tapi bila dah pass around kat orang ke lima, ke enam, selalunya makin jadi pendek dan akan menimbulkan misunderstanding. Selalunya cerita tak lengkap lah. Boleh jadi fitnah. Tambahan zaman sekarang zaman kiasu. Ada je orang yang nak menjatuhkan kita. Ada je orang yang dengki dengan kelebihan kita. Biase le tu.

Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club handbag

I was looking for more practical handbag for my teaching practice in PJ. Was pening looking around. Need to find one before mega sale ends. Need to save more for rainy days you see. Minyak mahai sekarang, later sume barang naik (BN). So cannot do impulsive shopping anymore. Huhuh T_T

I aimed for big bag so that I can fit the files and teaching materials into it. So, my choices was Balenciaga and Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club. I like Balenciaga line but it does not have compartment. Only one zip and that’s it but it does have nice look. If I were to buy it, l know my habit that I’m going to dump in my stuffs and when I need to find an item, I’ll become frantic for not able to for my stuff. So SBPRC wins. It is thick, durable, old-school look. It does have teacher’s look innit? Between the two, there are not much price difference. SBPRC have both qualities, function and look. Hehe.

The school that I’m going to is an elite school so there is hope that it will be easy for me to teach the students. But yeah, it’s not all about teaching and learning. It’s about educating young minds and preparing them for the real-nasty-expensive-kiasu world. Although the school is not that far from IPBA, but since the petrol hike happens globally, I’m not sure whether we can survive our teaching practice days without worrying about the moneh. *sigh* “Be money smart” Omark advised me.

Righto! New spirit to go for teaching practice with a new handbag. *semangat!!*
