~With love~

i've always loved, using videos and songs to teach English. eversince the sharing session we had sometime in February, the many resources shared had given me lots of opportunity to expose the pupils to them.

i'd gone to www.grammarmancomic.com and had used most of the free stuff from the link and adjust them to accomodate to my pupils' ability. (gosh...i still sound so teacher-ly...reminds me of my EPMS)

anyway, the kids had learnt many songs and today, during our daily 'Show & Tell', one kid, a bo-chap Japanese who has killer IQ (always scoring full marks for Math and solving challenging sums within 5 minutes!), actually decided to sing one of the songs I had taught them!

it was too bad i could not record the whole session. the rest of the class enjoyed his singing although it was a bit off key at the beginning. but hey, no one's born a star. (hmmm..actually yes, the latest twins ) as he started singing, the class was gleefully watching him and they sang along when he reached the chorus. they sang "top of the world" by The Carpenters.

well, the kids did it again. it's as if they know that i'm leaving and they had been tugging my heartstrings since the term started. i had been less angry with them and obviously, there had been less scolding.

i was so full of emotion when the whole class started singing, without music. and they sang so well, damn well.

they noticed my tears.

i just felt like hugging all 35 of them.

and they still do not know i'm leaving...real soon...

i hope to leave...with as much love as possible..

kids, never question why they exist..

~tulang, fisherman's wharf, k-nite, zouk, another round of sisha and baby lion's invitation~

yeap. those are the lined up 'bonding' sessions the colleagues have planned out (minus the baby lion's invitation heh). seriously leh darlings, i'm only resigning....not migrating. though i wish i could. but no, not yet, i hope.

anyway, darling a-min, this time, must must must join ok. sue n i are leaving on the same day!!

and, really darling, 'it' was at our very first cubicle. *spooky*

i'm not into telling ghost encounters here. just typing that previous sentence sends me the chills...sheesh...wait up for a next meet up and i'll tell more.

and, oh janna, i'll surely come for you on 5th july!*roars* heeee

~till death do us part?~

i am busy finalising my ca2 paper while listening to 94.2FM. yeah, i prefer Warna to Ria. call me makcik-makcik/ auntie for all i care. heh. but eh..don't lah ok. cos i'm not one. hee. faaaaaaar from one k!

i forced bobo to stay up with me while he enjoys blistering his fingers playing PSP. he's right there now, talking to me, eyes (and fingers) glued on his white screen while i am busy typing this away. his voice right now, is like bees humming to me. hee....

ok, right now, is news on Warna. before this was Alleycat's song (i do not know the title) and Sudirman's Salam Terakhir. Touching songs man. damn touching.

the topic on air prior to the songs was about deceased spouse; how one would and should handle it. one of the callers, a man, reminisced his moments with his late wife.

he got me started. i teared. not so badly cos i was trying to finish up my exam paper, remember? but anyhoot, i teared. and bobo had to tease me. of course, being a typical woman/ wife i went "if i die before u, u'll surely be happy rite? surely got new wife asap one. rite b? rite? b? b!"

obviously, i was not entertained.

anyway, i can never imagine the terrible loss if it's written for bobo to leave this world before i do. seriously, i can never imagine. never.

and my dearest sister came to my mind. you know who you are my darling kakak.

for every compliment i had received for being strong, i'd think that sister of mine deserves MORE.

for God has given her the greatest test a wife should ever receive.

the greatest fear every wife possesses.

my kakak sayang, you went through it ALL.

~the countdown begins I~

my favourite boy hero since he was in primary three, will be graduating this year and being a foreign student (from Vietnam) he is 3 years older than his peers. Michael, has brought pride to his name for he has grown to be a very sensible boy. Even when other teachers claim he had been very rude, naughty and misbehaved many times since last year, I am glad to say, he still gives me that utmost respect. He still texts me at odd times. Calls me from end of the corridor just to raise his hand as a gesture of acknowledging me and greeting me with his cheeky smile and a short nod like bow.

Today, during recess, as I was doing my field duty, Michael saw me from one end of the field and walked as cool as he could...haha! teenagers!

"Cher...y cher?"

"y wat darling?" (yes, i call ALL pupils and some close colleagues 'darling'. that has been Ms Shikin's trademark :p)

"y u also wanna quit? cannot tahan ah cher?"

"no lah. it's not that. i wanna prove the world i can do more besides teach! haha!"

"hahaha! cher...actually hor, u should leh. u still so young and pretty must do other things mah. like miss liang rite?"

"really ahh? u find me pretty?"

"aiyahh..ok mah (boy blushes)"

"actually you're right darling. i'm still young. i must do other things."

"lucky u married leh. if not u teach until no one wants u. haha! eh cher, later next year, i come back, all faces i dunno liao.."

"i'm sure ur favourite teachers will still be here."

"but see, within 2 years, so many good teachers left liao. now you..aiyahh. cher dun forget me ok."

"i won't! and u must not forget me either ok."

"of course won't lah."

(at that point, tears were already welling and both teacher and student still maintaining their cool..hehe)

"btw, how did u know about my plans?"

"mr ho lor. he said i must try to make u stay cos he believes u're a good teacher and it's a waste. but hor, i think u are doing the right thing. so i came to wish you good luck."

(seriously, if Michael is not a 15 year old and hormones-raging, i would have brought him close to my chest and give him that tight tight hug.)

"i'll need ur wish again cos i'll still be here for a few more weeks."

"can. for sure one."

"and don't tell the others first ok."

"war lau cher if the others hear then they sure will spread one u know."

"haha! i'm counting on you ok."

"no problem cher."

(by then 2 of my p4 boys overheard our conversation and came running to me.)

"ms shikin, u're quitting?"

"no. says who?"

"but just now u said..."(bell rang....)

"let's go boys."

(ms shikin left the field with a big smile, teary eyes and an open heart.)





above, my P3s in 2005...all graduating this year.

:)

~believe it (or not)~

just for entertainment

;p

make sure u watch till the end...the end...

 

~moving forward part 2~

the feeling i had after officially handing that letter to VP was simply uplifting. there was this immediate flow of relieve and unburdened heart. immediate flow of 'happy' charges in my body. eventhough i had a major disagreement with a fellow colleague whom i regarded as a good friend earlier that morning, i felt lighter (i wish i am!) and i started to smile. btw, that colleague and i made it up by evening. :)

whatever it is, it's time i start counting down.

:)

~moving forward part 1~

1. i have SERIOUSLY made up my mind.

2. i have started typing out the letter.

3. i have filled in the notice.

4. i have informed many of my intention.

5. i have informed 2 HODs and that's a very good step to not look back. :)

6. i have BIG plans with Bobo. :) (no, no, no more babies till DEGREE is in my hand )

7. i have no worries for my class as they have improved tremendously in Math, especially. :)

8 i have a worry though, that they might miss me. :(

9. i have seriously no idea what i can do besides teaching!

10. but...i SERIOUSLY don't care!! heee....

A-Min darling!!!!!! i'm now thinking of my next hair colour...

;p

~a very special day~

thanks to all of your prayers, Ryan has returned to his normal self.the last time he had fever was on friday night. a peculiar fever that started only when he was asleep. prior to that, he was running around, playing with the guests we had that night. it was a shock and a scare when i read 41.5 degrees. thinking that the device was faulty, my dear colleagues advised me to take my temp. i ended up taking everyone else's temp and ryan's again. only ryan's was exceptionally high.

bobo said to sponge him down and so i did. checked another hour later, thank god it reduced to 38 degrees.

on saturday morning there was no more fever. :)

until today.

it's really worrying you know. anyway, bobo and i thought ryan must be bored for he had not been out in 'fresh' air since he was hospitalised. and that was 2 weeks ago.

so, in the end, we did not waste the tickets to the S'pore Flyer. oh no, we didn't get it for free. we're not VIPs mah...we only got it at half the price. :)

thanks to PUB, we managed to experience the 'flight'. and that would be the first and the last time we'd pay for it. :p

honestly, the capsule is big and it could accomodate more than i had expected. otherwise, i have no further comments.

 



 

 

 

a trip down to Tong Seng for a very family birthday dinner.  : D

and another bonding session at the comfort of my own home, for cake-cutting.

 

i thank God for the existence of these special people in my life.

 

 

~s~

i'd been trying to figure out if i deserve love, until bobo proposed. 

i'd been trying to figure out if my life had been a joke, until i got pregnant with marsya.

i'd been trying to come to terms with resentment and depression, until ryan came into our lives.

i'd been asking myself why?

until God proved to me.

it's been more than 2 weeks since ryan last ran about at home, screamed at his sister and jumped on my bed.

'something' has been clinging onto him and thus, the refusal to walk and be himself. ironically, before we found that out, we watched ''Congkak". right after that movie, bobo and i held each other tightly. we stayed up for our subuh prayers and kept on praying, chanting whatever verses that we know.

my body gets weaker and weaker from watching my chubby, happy baby turning to a scrawny and cranky baby.

my heart breaks each time he wails.

my eyes has learnt to stop tears from welling in fornt of him, simply because i cannot show 'it' i'm weak.

God must love me so much, for the great tests He has been giving me.

it's time i realise that only Him can help me.

meanwhile, if you have read this entry, please, please pray for my son, Ryan Ilhan Bin Mohammad Harisman.

~i spoke too soon~

ryan started vomiting again last night. his highest temperature checked five minutes ago was 39.7.

:(

Ya Allah, please take away his pain and let me suffer instead...

:(

~6 days 5 nights~

it was a 6 days and 5 nights stay for me and ryan in KKH.

thank goodness it wasn't rotavirus, HFMD or the likes. dr confirmed it as bacterial infection. no, not viral infection. it's bacterial infection. difference?

bacteria are single celled organisms that are 'living' and reproduce by dividing. bacteria is EVERYWHERE. even on this keyboard that i'm typing out now. or in this air that i'm breathing in now. or on the chicken that i had eaten at Swensen's just now. or in our favourite Yakult..or... ok, you get it.

virus are well, hmm...the debate is still whether they're living organisms. whatever it is, i've googled and here goes...

From WIKIPEDIA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus

A virus (from the Latin virus meaning "toxin" or "poison"), is a sub-microscopic infectious agent that is unable to grow or reproduce outside a host cell. Each viral particle, or virion, consists of genetic material, DNA or RNA, within a protective protein coat called a capsid. The capsid shape varies from simple helical and icosahedral (polyhedral or near-spherical) forms, to more complex structures with tails or an envelope. Viruses infect cellular life forms and are grouped into animal, plant and bacterial types, according to the type of host infected.

Biologists debate whether or not viruses are living organisms. Some consider them non-living as they do not meet the criteria of the definition of life. For example, unlike most organisms, viruses do not have cells. However, viruses have genes and evolve by natural selection. Others have described them as organisms at the edge of life. Viral infections in human and animal hosts usually result in an immune response and disease. Often, a virus is completely eliminated by the immune system. Antibiotics have no effect on viruses, but antiviral drugs have been developed to treat life-threatening infections. Vaccines that produce lifelong immunity can prevent viral infections.]

 virus is not an independent survivor, unlike bacteria.  they require living hosts eg, us, humans, plants or animals in order to multiply. when the virus get in our body systems, some of our cells are invaded thus producing more of such virus.

Bacterial infection vs. viral infection: What's the difference?

 bacterial infections are caused by bacteria and viral infections are caused by viruses. But they're also different in other ways.

Bacteria are single-celled "living" microorganisms that reproduce by dividing. Most bacteria can grow on nonliving surfaces, such as countertops and doorknobs. Not all bacteria are harmful. Some bacteria are even beneficial to your health. But when infectious bacteria enter your body, they can make you sick. Bacteria make toxins that can damage the cells they've invaded. Some bacterial infections, such as strep throat and tuberculosis, are contagious. Others are not.

Unlike bacteria, viruses are not "living" organisms but capsules of genetic material. They require living hosts — such as people, plants or animals — to multiply. Otherwise, they can't survive. When a virus enters your body, it invades some of your cells and takes over the cell machinery, redirecting it to produce the virus. The virus may eventually kill the host cells. Some viral infections, such as influenza and HIV, are contagious. Others are not.

The distinction between bacterial and viral infections is important. Why? Because medications that are effective against one aren't effective against the other.

Bacterial infections are treated with antibacterial antibiotics. Antiviral antibiotics are available for some types of viral infections — but not all. Taking antibacterial antibiotics when you have a viral infection won't treat the viral infection and may even be harmful. Consult your doctor for advice on a specific condition.

so, it was a Tuesday to Sunday camp KK for me and Ryan.  on that tuesday morning, i still went on to school, knowing that his temp was a 38 degrees. it was examination period for the kids in school and i figured after medication, ryan would get well within hours, just like he usually would. at almost 8.30am, MIL called to say that his fever went up to 39.5 degrees. and it was only an hour when i last checked his temp.

i didn't even ask for permission to leave sch immediately.. i only informed the 2 heads and proceeded back home to bring ryan to KK's CE(Children's Emergency). thank goodness it was not a long wait  at the hospital despite the long queue cos Ryan's condition was given priority. after taking his blood for test and checking his stools, the MO at the CE diagnosed it as viral infection and gave ibuprofen for his fever.

went on home, lil prince took his nap, his sister joined him. while his mother marked like crazy. 2 hours later, ryan woke up with a very pale face and started throwing up. i tried feeding him with porridge which he also threw up. let's not talk about his milk and plain water, he looked like a mini merlion. checked his temp again, it was 41 degrees and it had been 3 hours since i had given him ibuprofen. decided to sponge him and wait for 2 more hours for the medication to take effect.

only God knows what went on my mind within that 2 hours. ryan was like a sick cat. he couldn't sit, let alone stand. he looked so frail, i cried while holding him. that was it. i had to bring him back to the hospital.

again, given priority. ryan was given the suppository and was admitted. and the journey of the fluctuating fever began. blood in his stools, frequent moving of bowels which dr first thought was diarrhoea but confirmed it as stomach infection later. then, bacterial infection.

seriously,  i wouldn't wanna have anymore of such memories takin place in any of my children's lives. it is emotionally and physically draining..really.  

however, i was glad i 'camped' 5 nights there cos for the first 4 nights, i had a great 'kaki'. (wink at crab) heee.....and her sister, magg. haha! hilarious pair lah you two!

and of course, not forgetting all who visited ryan at the hospital,harlina, kak G, kak em, dora, kak mel, sri and rid, mak long pak long, nyayi, cik dah, abg noi, adik, cuz aida, jehan and ahmad, awin, cik nong and family, lenny and family, nyaina and yayi and cik uci and cik ana. thank you for ur prayers and keeping ryan and i company even if it's for a little while. :) mak and abah and mommy and daddy, how can i ever thank u enough?

oh kak lyn, u think i have forgotten you issit?

N E V E R hokay!!!! thank u kakak sayang for ur company on the 3rd night and staying on till very late the next day and....returned with kak mel (and my cravings for cheezels-thks to crab :p)again the following day! u ahh...really...how can i not love u so??? i remember magg's promise to you...."baju butterfly dari tekka" heee

oh, just as i was about to rejoice in happiness, marsya also got ill on ryan's last night at the hospital. i cried that night, in the cot, praying for my children's health. marsya vomited and could not retain any fluid. bobo took her to the CE and luckily she's not admitted.

Alhamdulillah, both children are recovering well now. but their parents are down. dun make me talk cos my throat fucking hurts and this migraine almost killed me while i was in class just now. i am holding up for one more day before another long weekend and it's time bobo and i spend a little time together. 

oh tomorrow, please come and go quickly....

~Ryan Ilhan~

as mentioned in the previous entry, i am very fair. that's why i'm back today with Ryan. :)

Ryan Ilhan Bin Mohammad Harisman, born with a muscle deformity, his legs were bow-legged.

the doctors told me not to worry as it was only a muscle strain, started with the way he positioned himself in the wound.

then again, people who tell you not to worry are either those who have not been through anything like that or they're just being nice.

so, i chose to worry.

therapy after therapy, i was glad and confident that he had been progressing really well.

just a month before he turned 11 months, he was discharged from the therapy. however, we knew we should never take it by our stride should he ever not start walking.

2 weeks before his first birthday, he started taking very cautious steps and managed to move from one end of the (small) living room unassisted. :)

it was a good start.

in fact, with the way he had been walking and running and attempting to jump nowadays, it was actually hard to remember him as a boy who was bow-legged and being foreseen as reaching that milestone really late.

his cuteness simply overwhelms me. that is why, i disagree when people say that you'll never love your children like your first born.

i love ryan the way i love marysa. they're both 2 different individuals although the lil one would wanna try mimic the big sister most of the time. 

and though it's obvious that ryan takes a longer time than his sister to reach his developmental milestones (eg: marsya started talking at 10 months), i am proud to say that my baby boy is very clever. he hugs me when he sees me being 'bullied' by marsya. he will then 'scold' her and then tries to 'bully' me as well. hee.. cuteness i tell ya!

Ryan, he says 'bye' in the most gentle manner with that soft voice, you'll feel you do not want to be away from him.

Ryan, he waves to everyone and everything and gives flying kisses with a 'mmuua', you'll want to hug him soooo tight and never let go.

Ryan, he bites and the he hugs and then he bites again and hugs again, a repeated process which is making me crazy over him.

Ryan, he has learnt to dance to Inul's 'Dikocok-kocok' (i know! i know! :s ) and at the end of this line, "Ku tak mahu cintaku..dikocok-kocok" , he'll go, "AAAuu!"

aiyo....that last bit, is a freaking me out a lil.

whatever it is, i love my boy just like i love my girl. i love ryan like i love marsya.

and ryan, my baby boy, will always be my baby boy.

 

 

so, how can i not want 2 more?

~my morning~

it's my turn to call in sick.

sick of the mounting work and it's not surprising that everyone's dropping like flies. anyway, i think that youghurt i had yesterday afternoon had caused me to go to the loo several times last night, resulted in lack of sleep. i overslept and tadaa...here i am, at home. heh. by the way, i had a great ARNOLD"S dinner with great peeps here, in my living room last night. :P

anyway, bobo and i encountered a night with the-paranoid-possesive-friend. and all i can say is, darl,
even lovers can be unfaithful towards one another. it's not surprising if friends ditch you for 'better' friends. that just goes to show what your friendship is made of. we're all adults now, surely you know how to select your friends, wisely?

i admit, i have become selective of my friends.  i can be chatty and friendly but that doesn't mean anyone can be my friend. no no. i'm sure my friends know who they are. if they know me, they would. no questions about it.

bobo agrees with me and he is thankful that he is still close to his childhood playmates. though all are now married, most with kids, busy with career and other commitments, we (yes, even the wives and kids join in their gatherings..hee) still get to meet up occasionally, which explains the Vesak Day getaway which we are all waiting for.  :) now, those, i call real friends. i mean bobo and his gay guy mates. guys certainly do not text each other, "miss u leh...when to meet" or "love u sista!" or "weyy.....so long never meet leh...when when?" heeee.....ladies....familliar? occasional texts like "tonight bola?" or "sunday bola?" or "besok kau gi bola?" (note the 'bola-s') are what trigger our male counterparts to meet up with their buds,to you know to do and watch what.

so, that sums up the conversation with bobo on friends this morning. a 10-minute walk from our place to his parents'. upon reaching, marsya was still sleeping as if she's the one who had worked till late last night. ryan, wanting to go out of the house to play. bobo and i took our breakfast, he left for work and i was supposed to go to the dr but on the way there, felt like visiting the loo again, so i came home to 'settle' it. and little did i know, i have so much to blog about.

(wahhh.... clap clap...this has got to be the lengthiest entry so far ey..)

anyway, as i was walking home, i saw many young children walking, holding hands with their mom/ dad/ gramps/ gran/ maid etc. all were heading to the kindergarten/ playgroup at my parents-in-law's block.

i still can't believe it's marsya's turn to start next year. i still can't believe she'll turn 3 end of this year. i am so proud of that daughter of mine. the vocabulary she uses nowadays, her ability to capture word-for-word, her observance, her curiosity. i wonder if the teacher will have a hard time handling her, that cheeky monkey of mine. that kakak-kakak..who is in love with princess and fairies recently. the big sister who looks out for her lil bro but complains abt him when she can't get her way. :) that's my girl.

                                               

ok, which reminds me, i have to go to the dr now and take this mc opportunity to settle marsya's registration by today.

tomorrow, or maybe later, hehe, will be back for another entry, this time on ryan. :)

i am very fair you know. :)

~i'm singing to my all time favourite~

VONDA SHEPARD
Baby, Don't You Break My Heart Slow

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky

I was believing in you
Am I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever

But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever

Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

(Bridge)
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home thinking that we're together
I wanted our love to last forever

Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

 

~tonight! yes, tonight!~

like finally!

no need for any kidnapping strategies.

heeee..heee....

i'm giggling to myself as the faces of the two beautiful ladies flash across my mind.

i wanna be tall.

i wanna set up my own business.

i need a break from teaching.

i need to give the master bedroom a romantic makeover.

i want double choc cupcakes topped with choc fudge.

i want to cuddle up with bobo in bed.

~sua gu~

hehe....

i am.

baby avenue is very, very near where i am, for almost 12 hours, every day. (ok, minus mc, childcare and childsick leave)

yet, today, i'll be rushing within half an hour there to grab 2 car seats of reputable brands but the least expensive. for the very FIRST time.

sua gu....i bet, i'll go gaga over every little thing and would wish to have baby no 3 soon so i can get that stroller, that car seat, that bassinet, that cot..etc etc

shit. free period's over.

~flu bug~

it's been almost a month since the bug decided to stay on me, in me, with me.

the previous weekend, proved that my body (and mind)  is not as tough (yet) as i'd love it to be.

the flu got to me. really got to me. i felt so unenergetic. but i still fought the bug throughout the whole of saturday. heh. i ended up kai-kai-ing at TM with adik and mom.  the aftermath of the 'fight'? 'tido mati'.  hee.
oh..and on sunday, we spent 4 hours at Daddy's company event and another 3hours at bobo's bestie's for his 3rd child's birthday bash. i swear i could have collapsed by the time we reached home at 9pm. miraculously, i still had the energy to do my lesson plan and set 2 worksheets by 11pm!

then again, this superwoman thought she had battled enough for the bug to go scour and find another victim. alas......

on monday morning, i was breathless.

marsya lost her voice and coughed up flam...

while ryan, was wheezing through the night.

bobo?

sent all 3 of us to the dr's.

a day of rest for me and a day of childsick leave for bobo.

so, yesterday, bobo and family, snoozed and snoozed.

that explains why i'm refreshed today...though i still wish i can get more sleep. heh.

p.s:  there's netball today! yayyyy!!
