Gosh, I havent had this for a long time but I think I should celebrate this happy occasion with pple around me and with familiar faces. I know its a bit of a rush and Im not sure how the turnout will be like. I guess I will know when you start mailing me and asking for my address. If there is huge turnout I will post in the blog again to show schedules arranged by big groups so that the house will not be so crowded. There will be light refreshment provided and hopefully enough drinks for everyone.

Here are some new photos of our trip to sentosa. She just simplpy enjoyed herself till she fell asleep. Didnt I could still pitch a tent but I did. I have a video on it but I have to figure out how to put it up on th e Yootube. Sentosa looks so different now. I think I will go again. Cheers.

2007-04-21T09:22:00.000+08:00

Dear Blog,

I have just realised I never really talk about the good things that are happy to me. Going to Sentosa Beach with my wife and daughter in awhile. I miss going to the beach. The sun, the sand and the sea.

And by the way, we are already planning to go to Langkawi for good makan holiday during the June holidays, hotel stay in with room service food ALL Paid for......lol....hope I dont get too round.

You know, I never do tell you abot the happy times that I have had. Maybe I should do that more. Happy weekend.

Cheers Everyone

Arts Panache II and life beyond

2007-04-17T05:29:00.000+08:00

Dear blog,
Last Fri and Sat the school held a concert musical at the Victoria Theatre. Not that it really mattered but I was the Master of Ceremony for the shows. Never have I seen secondary school children able to put up a fantastic show. There was evn a time when I watched a rehearsal (yes just the rehearsal) and I was in tears. That scene when it reminded me about my mother and how powerless I am to bring her to safety at this moment. The show was about Club Soul. I do wonder if I have my soul. Just going about my work yesterday, I felt my life in a still. Why do I do this to myself. I just want to save the world but I am no super hero. I kept on shouting and shouting as though my voice can make those around me understand me. The feeling of being misunderstood is never easy to live with. I tried to talk to one of them to make sense into things even though I know that the only positive outcome is when he comes to terms with himself.

It was yet another long day for me. Coming home I bring work home as I usually do and I vent it on people around me. Yes it is true what some of the students said, you cannot please everyone. BUt really I dont even know how to please myself anymore. I vent my frustrations on my daughter, on my pregnant wife and even.....nvm. I am not a mean person, I embrace life with joy not scorn it with sarcasm. Having a loud voice does not mean u have to use it, but sometimes I forget to control and hold back.

I realise that people actually read what I write. My thoughts, my emotions that even possibly they never thought I had. I am only human. I am looking forward to children's day, thats the time my wife is due for delivery anyway. But I really do wish to find my soul.

Anyway here is a picture taken of me and some of my ex students who came to watch the Musical last Saturday. There are many more and I will put them up when I have them. Take care.

Cheers
Naf

baby 3 mth

2007-03-28T22:47:00.000+08:00

Yup I have not been updating this blog for a long time it has become stagnant. I wish I could share my life with the rest of the world but there are so many things to say. Life lies in balance at the moment, tomorrow I will know the BIG QUESTION: Should I Stay or should I Go. Discipline is a Big Job, very tiring never appreciated by students, but I must say I would have done the same thing even if I was not in the Discipline Com. I see a strange transformation of myself and I am very worried that I would not recognise myself anymore. I am starting to realise that I cannot control my temper. I need to look at life's perspective. I am reflecting a lot these days and begining to lose myself again. I found the innner me when I first came here to OPSS now I am beginning to be like the old me when I left MJR. I just want to be myself. THe teacher who talks about coke and when to open the can of coke. The teacher who sits down to talk (and most of the time make the studentscry-because they really need to) and listen. The teacher who inspires and motivates and tells the students to Dream. The teacher whoe BELIEVES. I just want to live life normally without students gawking, making fun of me or trying to provoke me behind my back. I really wonder if you guys really understand how I feel or even care.

Anyway this is a scan of our second baby. The baby is very active, always jumping around - really I saw it on the scan. The baby is only 3 mths still developing going into 2nd trimester. The beauty of life......SCIENCE SURE IS............ B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L

Can you spot the baby?

KeRmit's Song

2006-07-19T12:08:00.000+08:00

A little Angel's voice came to me to day and reminded me of this song we shared in the wee hours of the night which means so much to me:

Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star?Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors. The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.The lovers, the dreamers and me.

I am a dreamer and I have answered my CALLING. I'm a TEACHER.

Cheers
MrNaf

My Life

2006-07-07T09:37:00.000+08:00

Dear Blog,

I seldom vent how I feel but life seems to be one that is very low today. Sometimes I look back at all those happy faces of students I used to teach and how sometime I feel I have made a difference to their lives. But I guess I will never know as they are as young as I am. Sometimes I ask myself, am I doing a good job as a teacher. For the first time this year I have been confronted by a student on MY BLOG to ask if I am perfect. I guess I am not perfect. I knew that a long time ago. There were so many mistakes I have made in my life but I always believe that things happen in life for a reason. When I first started teaching I knew I went through all the sad things in life so that I can my students and educate them better. I know that some of you whom I have taught before have heard my life stories....I am not perfect I guess but nobody is anyway.

I can still remember the time I spent at the back of the chemistry lab talking to students from my very first form class (sorry cant remember everyone at this state of mind). I told them life is a c an of coke, if ever you have problems you give it a shake, themore problems you have the more you shake it, until one fine day when you finally decide to open the can of coke.......it will just explode. I have tried to open my coke as often as possible.But this time not fast enough.

I can still remember the happy times at MJR.....my very first dikir barat, my duet with Mr Azman, the Angel girl who inspired me breed Betta splendens, my trustworthy WeiJie and my NCC. I can still remember all the different types of Life Science camps that we have experienced. An of course I can still remember the Best form class I have ever had (do you remeberwhat I wrote on that cake bottom...I still mean it. There were so many of you from MJR whom have changed my life.

I guess MJR was where I was supposed to learn how to deal with my students. OPSS is very different. I kinda realised that I have always taught the better classes in the past. Maybe thats why I feel this way. I am now a discipline teacher and there are so many problems that I am facing. Why cant students just understand that I am doing my job but I am doing this because I dont want them to go wayward. All my young students have a bright future. But in order to reach the best possible situation they must have that self discipline, passion and of course to BELIEVE in themselves. I am really not concerned about your family and your background. I just want you to understand that what is till important is you. It is your responsibility to lead your life the right way. Nobody is naughty in this life persay, but it is just that mindsets are different. When we are young we get influenced easily by friends esp. if there is nothing to look forward to at home. But always rememember there many who care for you but to be influenced by mindsets that are against the contemporary society. Dont you want to lead a simple life and never have to run away from the LAW?

I can still remeber giving out the O level results last yr. That was something to remember. This year I have another batch of graduating Bio student. To you out there always remember,"Belief in Yourself.....I Believe in you.

Cheers
