I wonder....

It's funny how people reacted to certain kinds of things. For example, reading people's blogs. It kinda spark some kind of interest to know further about some people.. well, not only the good thing about people.

For me, it's up to each individual whether they like it or not, it depends on how people interpret and can understand what all the posts was about and how they were written.. based on emotions or just something that they like to do..

So, it's something to think about and whether readers like or not, the individual should not take it too seriously... unless if comments from readers were too harsh and boleh jatuhkan maruah seseorang, then, that comment should not be published. I had once in a while received comments that were not quite acceptable to my opinion, so I just ignored them and toss them away (delete).. end of story.

I'm just as happy as I am and I choose to be happy the way I am. Alhamdulillah.. I know that people can just say whatever they want to say about me or the posts that I've written, but it's all about life experiences and what I've observed in a day or within a week or month.

Like it or not, I'm posting it.

Resolutions for the New Year...? Which one..?

It is almost to the end of the year... and I guess everybody has their own New Year Resolution..
Well, for me it will be for both the New Year that will be coming soon..i.e. Awal Muharram (Tahun Hijrah 1430) which falls on the 29th December 2008 and for the New Year 2009.

Perhaps not many people (including myself..hehe..) realise that the dates for these two events are very close to one another. Did you...? :)

Well, I've just realized those dates when I was chairing a family meeting regarding our end-of-year family day for year 2008. At first we wanted to have this event on the public holiday (New Year 2009, i.e. 1 January 2009) but then there are family members who could not make it as they will be working during the New Year. My eldest brother then came up with his brilliant idea that is to have this event on 29 December 2008 (which will be the New Hijrah Year). Alhamdulillah everybody agreed with this as most of us will be available on that date. So, it is confirmed on the 29 December 2008, our Family Day, which is also the New Year Hijrah 1430. I guess if I have invitation to the Hijrah event, I will have to reply the letter as not attending the event.. :)

Okay then, back to the resolutions... Indeed, there should be "Azam" for the new year and I have already prepared myself for the coming years.. Alhamdulillah for everything that has happened this year (both 1429 Hijrah and Masehi 2008) and doa for next year (1430 Hijrah and Masehi 2009) will be a better life in the future and Insya Allah will do my very best in whatever that I will undertake. Whenever there's a will, there's always a way (or some ways) to achieve it. Should never give up on what to achieve and be patient. Insya Allah..

Have you decided on what your "Azam" for the new year? :)

Holidays....

Alhamdulillah.. The workshops are over and I'm starting my holidays today till Christmas. I know that there will be more work when I come back to work, but that will never change my initial plans of going on a vacation with my parents, bro and sis-in-law and my niece and nephew.

Since we'll be meeting my uncle and aunty as well as my cousins, it will be a family travel holiday driving for a few hours to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I heard that they've moved to a new house which I guess was the one that they've showed to me last time when I went there (it was in June 2008). I wonder how's "Tommy" and "QT" doing.. Hehehe.. Cats.. I do love cats.. :)

Hmmm.... what's next..? It's the final month of 2008.. This year was really hectic and I felt that this year a lot of things happened without proper planning especially the work at school, the workshops (Thinking Skills at Curriculum Dev. Dept and the In-House training at school), the Data Analysis training in Melbourne (shortlisted few days before travelling to Melbourne - only informed 1 day before the flight which was the next day!!!), the school holiday trip to Oman (a last minute thing - I bought the one lucky ticket to Oman via KL and Dubai). I really had to look back and reflect on what I did this year so as not to repeat the same thing again for next year..

The SPN-21 was really getting most teachers including myself busy with work and especially myself being in the Academic Department, I had to really work my brains out to make sure people understand what is there in this new education system (to teachers) and to parents (through the Power Point Slide Presentation early this year). Then, there are meetings and also new changes to the assessments, new "labels" for the new secondary classes, change in timetable and so on.. I wouldn't want to write more on this...
I'll need to get my self some rest in order to be healthy (physically and mentally).

So, I'll post more when I had the time and more things to share to readers.. Thanx to all..

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha and happy holidays..
