Well, not that S.

First of all, I want to give a SHOUT-OUT to God for making me and my friends pass our highly-stressful-tedious-damning-difficult-must-pass Induksi examination. The results were out yesterday, and checking my results online was nerve-wrecking. When I saw the word LULUS, I shouted for joy and totally forgot that I was at the school library, in front of my students. My students were like WHA~~?

Anyway, now we can become confirmed teachers!! Why does being sah in jawatan is important? It's just so we can apply for low interest loans...hehehe...

And for my Catholic readers and friends, I just want to share a prayer that I often use for times like this. So far, this prayer has never failed me. All you need to do is pray this for 3 consecutive days and promise to publish this as soon as your request was granted.

Holy Spirit You who make me see everything and showed me the way to reach my ideals, You who gave me the Divine gift to forgive all the wrong that was done to me, and You who are in all instances in my my life. I want to Thank You for everything and confirm with you once more I never want to be separated from You no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual Glory. Amen < Make request >

Next, two days before the Induksi results came out, my friend Suzanah and I were sauntering towards the canteen when lo and behold, a long, slimy visitor decided to get lunch at canteen as well. It was about a foot long, just a wee little, black and yellow stripe snake.

Almost similar like this but still short. 

The two of us just stood there and watch that lil'fella go. We were scared and thought that it might be venomous. What can we do then? Kill it with our high heels? Stick it with a plastic fork? Since we were really hungry, we decided to have lunch at the canteen anyway. All the time we were there, a little bump or a little swish of plastic on the floor made us looking under the table anxiously. Manalah tau, tiba-tiba ada suara kecil bercakap "bulih sssssia joinsssssss?"

Then, I wished I was never given the PJK subject. I was never trained to be a PJK teacher and suddenly, there was that subject in my otherwise ideal timetable. So, on one particular Thursday, I got bored watching at the sidelines when my students were happily frolicking with their bola and their badminton rackets. I decided to play badminton with some of the students. I grabbed a racket and bergaya macam Lee Chong Wei la kunun.

After a few hit and misses, our game suddenly became so alive! No one misses the shuttle, all serves and smashes were reciprocated. The battle was on. Miss J versus One Intellect!! It was a fiery tournament until one sound stopped it all...

CRACK!

As I was attempting to hit back with a backhand smash, my left knee was...well, it was pulled? Twisted? Whatever it was, it was painful. To cover up (and perhaps, salvage my ego) I passed the racket to another student and said, "Nah, mainlah kamu...Miss penat suda (kunun)" and try to disguise that hobble. Earlier that morning, after leading the warm-ups, I heard myself imparting these wise, yet ironic words of wisdom, "Kita mesti buat warming up sebelum PJ supaya kita dapat mengelakkan diri dari kece...deraan."

Sekali, sendiri tercedera. Hehehehe. Now, walking up the stairs is quite a challenge for me. I guess, I have to start drinking Anlene, huh?

Have a great weekend, everyone!
