Hi there? It has been a while since the last time I updated my blog. I knew that I'm not such an active blogger and it takes a decade for me to write a new post *looool*
So, I am here now! With my long lost passion about writing and blogging. I get my ass here to share stories, experiences, tips and so on. Let start with my personal story about "future career".
FYI, i am now a teacher trainee. I am still in my way to graduate as a degree student in my major study, Early Childhood Education and also my minor study, Science.
First of all, Im gonna tell you guys that teacher is not my first choice but it was my "forced" choice. hahaha okay, I never think to be a teacher and I told my friends that I absolutely never be a teacher/educator. Because at that time, I was so fed up with my form 4 & form 5 school life. Some teachers seemed already gave up on us(not including the smart students). I was really weak in certain subjects and I was not receiving any motivations during that time. SO, im like just let it be until the spm exam was really really around the corner I started to study the whole things. And yeaaa, my spm result was not that "dope".
After ended my good old school days, I started to work in my aunt's kopitiam, from doing the the washing jobs until a waitress to get my personal income. Those money were enough for me to afford what I want. p.s: i used to be a crazy online shopper. I really adore fashion and clothes. I realized to be a fashion designer is my biggest dream. I told my dad about it he disagreed with me. Nothing that i could do to make him supporting me to do what i like as i knew my dad's personality really well. I decided to follow his will.
Before I am a teacher trainee, I was in Kuching polytechnic, taking my chemical engineering in diploma. After three days at there, I got a news that I passed the interview and I had to register myself at Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Sulatan Abdul Halim (IPSAH) which is located at Sg.Petani, Kedah. The moment when I acknowledged about it I was like OMG, that was so far from my hometown as I lived in Lundu,Sarawak. First thing came up in my mind was distance then to be a teacher was the second issue and lastly my friends. I really really don't want to go there. In the end, with all the tears and mixed feelings, I still gotta leave because that was my dad's will. But I'm so damn lucky that one of my best friends will go further study with me at the same institution. At least I knew that I am not alone when I am in a totally new and strange place :')
Okay. My new life at another place started on 25 June 2014. We arrived at Penang Airport and headed to our hotel at Sg, Petani one day before the registration day. *the taxi driver thought we are thais since we spoke in our place's Hakka along the route hahaha*
Since that day until today, I already have been stayed at IPSAH about 2 years. *i did go home twice per year.* I am going to tell you guys that actually I am not regret for anything. *but sometimes i did when I'm frustrated hahaha its normal i think* But overall yes, I am glad to be here, IPSAH. I have learnt a lot of things. I gained so many knowledge from friends, seniors and lecturers. You know as a teacher is all about must master in everything. *This is how societies see us but the truth is we are not master in everything we just need to keep on learning and never stop learning* "Education is a continuous learning process." I think this statement is the best to explain to the societies. You can master in one or two subjects but its nothing when you compared with all the attainable knowledge in this world.
On the other hand, i also learnt how to socialize with other races and of course knowing their cultural is one my biggest interest too. Cultural shock almost happened all the time but we still accept it and respect each other. I can say that I basically did not have any issues living in this place but it does not mean that I have not been thin and thick over here. Yes, it is normal. You still can fight over the bad days and deserve the good days after that.
In addition, traveling and visiting the places around west malaysia becomes my goal when school holidays come. In these two years, i visited Penang, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka. And I wish more to go for the next 3 years. Although my money is limited but still go for it as long as i could.
Next, even though our timetable is super duper pack. I still can find time to exercise, sleep and do whatever I like except during assignment and exam weeks yah gahagahgah XD I enjoyed every moment and every single day most of the time. Being a teacher is not easy as what traditional minded people think, not only must good in knowledge but also physical and mental. But I think teaching would be the best part which is we have not experience it officially but i am looking forward it. Since I am studying my major in early childhood edu so the kids between 0-8y/o will be my students in future. I personally like kids but still an unknown in future when I really have chance to deal with them. HAHAHA. Don't worry, I would not hate them la maybe just will be crazy to think how to cope with them hahaha.
Lastly, life is always cannot escape with what you don't like/want but when you got what you dislike it also can turn out amazing surprisingly! :) If you have a great passion to become a educator. Go ahead then. Educate the young generation not only with knowledge but moral values either especially in humanity so that they can make our earth a better place.
