Parking; Not At Par

Star Q

i.  Go Local! Love Local!

ii.  Two-Berry Muffins

I remember when I was a student, a long time ago, I used to respect the teachers and every thing associated with them.  I mean I would respect their comments, the way they taught me (even though I may disagree at time!) and I even respected their tables in the teachers' common room; to the extent that I would feel scared even to enter the room!

However, times have passed ever so quickly.  Then again, times may have passed but I feel that the respect for teachers should always be there.  This is because I feel that the relationship between teachers and students is based on respect because without it there is really no relationship.  

Hermit Crabs : Are We?

You know, I initially felt like the proverbial hermit crab (or umang-umang in Bahasa Malaysia!) when we were instructed to move into the old primary school building, which had been abandoned for two years (maybe more!)  The previous owners, i.e. the original hermit crabs, had moved on to greener pastures with better accommodation and facilities.

Se bahagian daripada pelajar Pra-U yang menyertai lawatan.

Sekolah baru sahaja dua hari dibuka, namun memandangkan rancangan telah lebih awal diatur, maka pada 13hb Jun 2012, unit Pra-U SMKTAR telah untuk kesekian kalinya menganjurkan lawatan sambil belajar ke Parlimen.  Se ramai 63 orang pelajar dengan diiringi 8 orang guru telah terlibat dalam lawatan tersebut.  Untuk sesi lawatan tahun ini, penulis tidak turut serta kerana keadaan kesihatan yang tidak mengizinkan.  Tambahan pula, penulis merasakan sudah cukup lah tiga kali sebelum ini turut serta dalam lawatan itu.

A Young Friend : A Poem

The joys of childhood, if one laments

Is full of colours and joyful laughter

Happiness it seems, fulfills all moments

Each day offers a new encounter

Of charming days

and childhood ways

End of Holiday : A Poem

Star Q

i.  Friday Prayers and Noisy Boys

ii.  Oaty Cherry Cookies

School holidays to me, I think

Can disappear in just one blink

Especially when you're having such fun

What fun?  There's actually none!

Marking papers, day in day out

That's what holiday is all about

Essays, summaries and litcoms to grade

I have nightmares when I go to bed

Moving furniture and books and what have you

From the old school building to the not so new

We didn't want to; we tried to resist

We lost when the boss said "I insist!"

Then there's the daughter who went to college

Sending her was tiring; not counting the mileage

Of course, anything for your children's future

Even if it means increased expenditure!

In spite of all that, I do agree

I had some rest, to a certain degree

But all too late I soon discover

That the holidays is finally over!

Tempat yang ditinggalkan

Isnin lalu seluruh warga Pra-U telah berpindah ke bangunan baru yang sebenarnya bangunan lama (macam mana nak cakap ya?)  Tapi setakat ini belum ada lagi kelihatan usaha-usaha untuk mengemas dan menyusun perabut dan fail-fail yang dipindahkan.  Adakah semua itu akan tunggu pada hari pertama persekolahan semester kedua pada 11hb Jun 2012 nanti? (lagi tak tahu nak cakap?)
