First 2013 post :)

Boy oh boy, have I abandoned this blog...last year, I only blogged once, like an actual post. And that was to express the heartache I was going through because of my brother's passing. This year, I'll try to do better.

So, since I've been gone (from this blog) so much has happened. I've been down to the pits of despair and I've been happy like I've never been before. Oh, I've also lost weight :D #MajorWin. Haha. I've been lecturing for over a year now. So far, so good. Being in such environment, I've come to realise that it's not only about teaching as I also learn from my students. They can say the wittiest things sometimes, it awes me.

Each semester, it's new personalities, new characteristics I see. This keeps the teaching from getting mundane and boring. With the new intake, I experience new things. Just the other day, it was the first class for the semester 1 students with me. They were an energetic lot albeit a bit shy. When the class ended, some of the students' action surprised me. Before they left the class, they thanked me, this is normal but what shocked me was that they actually 'salam' me, oh you know, they way Muslim youngsters would normally greet the elders or wives greet their husband? The kissing of the back of the hand? Yupp, they did that and I must say, I felt so touched. These kids actually look up to me and respect me. This made me a content teacher and feel like I want to teach and help them towards a better future even more! I'm not kidding! Hehe..so yeap, that's just one example of my daily life.


Ok, so I'm not planning to make this a long entry so I'm gonna finish off with attaching one of my favorite Taylor Swift song from her new album RED. All her songs from this album is growing on me <3 .="." p="p">
Mkays, till the next post, take care y'all.
