Esok, saya perlu berada di negeri jiran iaitu Perak. Kami di Hidayah Centre Foundation Wilayah Utara akan mengadakan sebuah program Ziarah Mesra Kampung Orang Asal. Saya akan ke sana menaiki Kereta Api dari Butterworth.  Saya singgah di masjid berdekatan dengan Penang Sentral. Memandangkan saya tiba 2 setengah jam lebih awal,  saya fikir baik saya berehat di dalam masjid sementara menunggu masuk waktu Asar.  Tiba-tiba, muncul seorang kanak-kanak dari tandas di sebelah kiri saya.  “Kakak nak sembahyang?,” tanya dia. “Dak, kak nak tunggu masuk waktu Asaq dulu”, jawab saya dengan senyuman. “Kamu buat apa sini?” tanya saya.  “Saya nak sembahyang”, katanya sambil menghadiahkan senyuman yang paling manis. Saya masuk ke ruangan sembahyang. Mengekorinya. Suis-suis lampu dan kipas dibuka satu persatu. Langsir dibetul-betulkan. Lagak AJK masjid. Saya pula sibuk mencari soket untuk mengecas telefon pintar saya. “Adik sorang ja ka?” tanya saya. “Ha sorang. Abang tak dak, abang dalam penjara kena t

Assalamualaykum wbt.  I would like to share some jewels that I have gotten today.  First, was from Dr Tamara Gray from Aida Azlin's Show Podcast: Anse Dr Tamara Gray said (im paraphrasing it),  "there're so many things to manage in this world - the pandemic, the islamophobia, systematic racism, strange hate growing around the world etc. Hence it can be very depressing, overwhelming and brings anxiety to us. My advice is, don't allow syaitaan, don't allow the world to put you in the state of negativity. Do anything you can to be positive. Get curious about whatever happening around you and ask yourself "what am i suppose to learn here?" instead of getting angry. Think about what is positive here and what joy can you bring from here, what joy can you bring to the world. InsyaaAllah from this, it makes difference not for one individual but to many other people. It may become the rising tide for the tarbiyah, rising tide of community care, rising tide of  

 22.9.2021 So much for the “Fun in learning”, I am now suffering from headache and neck pain After math of playing a game during our English Class. I came out of the class sweating like I just had Zumba. Haih Here’s what we did today, I wanted to teach them fixed phrases like simple questions that they use on a daily basis. To make it more interesting, I made a box filled with orange and white coloured ping pong ball They just have to draw the ping pong ball, if they get the orange one, they have to read the Question and find the answer in the Mahjong Paper (right side). If they get a white one, they have to start from looking at the answer first then find the suitable Question from the left Mahjong Paper. Simple right? But what’s not simple was controlling their excitement and eagerness to participate. Hahaha traumatised. Let’s just hope, next time, it’ll be manageable. Some pictures

15 April 2020   [English Year 6 Online Class] The thought of MCO period being extended is still haunting us (yes, by “us” I also mean the teachers) until today. Panic attack happens from time to time whenever we think about how are we going to save our students i.e the ones taking Big Exams this year. Alhamdulillah today’s first Online Class went great! We used Google Hangout and managed to share my screen so that the kids can see the questions physically and they can easily follow up with Grammar Lessons. I am using Google Classroom for my Year 1 students (for parents to print out worksheets) and Google Hangout for Year 6 students. Honestly speaking, Online Classes or Teaching and Learning from home is not easy. There’s so many possible factors that hinders an effective and efficient teaching and learning session. Technology wise, poor internet connection and gadgets-that-are-lacking-in-many-ways of those who come from poor in-come family. Environmental wise, the noises around the tea

  Today’s activity Topic: Lunchtime After each of them pasted the papers, I said “Thank You”. Then, one of the girls said, “Teacher, kalau orang kata Thank You kita kena jawab You are Welcome kan?” “Ya betul tu, Pandai kamu”, I replied short. “Saya tengok kat dalam 7 Hari MencintaiMu, dia kata macam itu”, She said happily. Ohhh wow. I was speechless.

25.2.2020 We are reaching the end our ninth week teaching. Alhamdulillah something to be proud of actually. Yesterday, we received our salaries. But it wasn’t as exciting as compared to what I just received today. Try guessing what it is. A standard 3 girl, apparently a sister to one of my standard 1 boys came to my office and passed the news to me. “Teacher, did you know? Just now, I went to your class and I heard that 1 Abu Bakar (1AB) accidentally spoke in english to their Sirah Teacher.” (Translation of what she said) I smiled ear to ear upon hearing that. I have been eagerly waiting for them to be able to speak simple english since my first day at school! And they actually did it! From zero knowledge of basic phrases to simple “Teacher, may I go to the toilet?” , “Teacher, can I go drink water?” and “Teacher, can I ask?”. What more could a teacher ask? Isn’t this the best paycheck any teacher would want to get? I thought to myself, in deed Allah repays every single effort we put
