Teacher extraordinaire...

Happy World Teachers' Day!!

Yayyy!

                It’s 5^th of October today! It’s WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY!

                This year’s theme; “TEACHERS FOR GENDER EQUALITY”. What’s the significance of this year’s theme? 

                Well, as you all might have noticed, most teachers are women. I think this is because we women have better understanding, and are of more nurturing, sympathetic souls. We are a lot more patient than our male counterparts. In other words, we can stand the bull…. better than the male teachers. And what’s more, WE KNOW HOW TO NAG! Huhu…

                However, it is rather unfortunate that in some parts of the world, women received lesser salaries than those of men even though these women are better qualified & in some cases, better workers. Moreover, in some countries, girls are not given the same opportunities to study as their male siblings. What a pity! 

                Thus, I feel that this year’s theme focuses on the role of teachers to balance out the equality of rights between the two genders. Whether we were born male or female; we all need each other. Thus, we must get the same opportunities as the other party. If we work together, the world will become a much better place to live in. Egad! I’m being philosophical…scary! :0

                Ooo…talking about gender equality, I remembered one time when I was in a computer shop. There was this one mother who was trying to change his son’s mind in buying a different computer mouse than the one he actually wanted. Well, you see, the son preferred a PINK computer mouse. Therefore, the mother tried her very best to persuade his son to choose a different colour…and yes, to choose a BLUE or the unisex BLACK computer mouse instead. 

                My mom & I looked at each other, but we kept quiet as it was not our business to interrupt. But, when we reached our car, mom & I talked about what happened. My mom sympathised with the boy. While, I simply said, I don’t really mind if the boy wanted a pink computer mouse. Pink is a nice, cool colour. Heck! It’s my favourite colour. So, what if a boy wanted a pink computer mouse…I would say, let him have it! Don’t ‘ya think so? And we girls can wear all the blues that we want to! Thumbs up for GENDER EQUALITY!

                Keke…before I make you fall asleep on this gender equality stuff, I think I’d better stop...for now. To end my entry, let’s click on the following MV & enjoy ourselves. Gracias for reading! And ehem, never forget…TEACHERS ROCK THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!

"Well, I'm the geek in the pink, yo

Photo session

Say cheese! It’s picture time!

This week, we had a photo session for all the teachers in the afternoon session. Except for our dear Mr. Safri (who went to KK), the rest of us could be seen here in the pictures below posing for the camera.

Actually, I've just noticed that I only have pictures of our candid shots...LOL

Mr. Sabri, our Senior Assistant for the Afternoon Session, joked that he forgot to suck in his belly. Hahaha! 1...2...3...hold your breath teachers!

The Form 6 students who took our pictures mentioned that it seemed that teachers in the afternoon session are all sporting teachers. We don’t mind making a fool of ourselves during photo session. Kekeke...it’s true. We are indeed, a lively bunch. We eat a lot (all thanks to the ever so wonderful Madam Jumah) & we smile a lot too :)

Working together with my colleagues in the afternoon session is fun. They make me enjoy my job, even if the students are kinda giving us headaches...most of the times. Well, anyway, hats off to all the dedicated teachers in the world.

Teachers...WE ROCK!
