The Best Teacher.

I've got to contact my favourite primary school English teacher! She's in Penang. Well she is from Penang. (according to the address-she's staying nearby dude's house). She's inspired me to be who I am today - a lecturer. An English lecturer. She was at her best in teaching, I bet she still is. I felt in love with English and teaching since she taught me back in 1994. Still remember went to her house with other friends every evening to learn English better. What I like about her teaching is she instilled FUN in every lesson. Every exercise comes with games and prizes. She is also the one who taught me the cursive handwriting that I influence my handwriting now. She always wrote some remark on my exercise book - motivation sayings etc. And yes I still keep the book until now. Every page reminds me those days how I was falling in love with English. and to my every interview I had attended I mentioned about her as my inspiration-without fail. She also trained me to be a good storyteller. I participated in many storytelling competitions back then. and that also a very good practice for me to be better in learning English. Too bad I don't have a picture of her. Dear Miss Selina, you are the best teacher indeed and thanks for inspiring me to become one.

"Yes 17 years. I know hv grown with the years. Just you keeping in touch all these years is the best gift 4 this teacher. Love you dear. Wouldn't b who I am without you. teaching about sharing knowledge and learning from one another. Glad inspired u. may u inspire sum1 too:) "

She texted me just now:)
I believe this is the best part becoming a teacher.

spot me!

don't spot me!

and yes, Miss Selina will be coming to my wed in Penang! Can't wait!

Pwetty cakes!

^_^

Gambar ini adalah gambar bayi yang baru berusia 21 minggu yang belum dilahirkan bernama Samuel Alexander Armas yang dibedah oleh seorang doctor bernama Joseph Burner. Bayi tersebut telah disahkan mengidap penyakit 'spina bifida' yang disahkan tidak dapat diselamatkan jika dikeluarkan dari rahim ibunya. Ibu Samuel, Julie Armas seorang jururawat obstetric di Atlanta. Dia mengenali seorang pakar bedah bernama Dr.Bruner. Dr Burner yg bertugas di Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, telah menjalankan satu pembedahan khas ke atas bayi ini sewaktu bayi ini masih lagi di dalam rahim.

Sewaktu pembedahan berlangsung, doctor telah mengeluarkan rahim dari seksyen-C dan telah mebuat satu bukaan kecil untuk melakukan pembedahan ke atas bayi tersebut. Apabila doctor tersebut telah selesai menjalankan pembedahan ke atas Samuel, bayi kecil tersebut telah mengenggam jari doctor tersebut melalui bukaan kecil tersebut dengan tangannya yang telah berkeaadaan sempurna.

Dr Burner berkata, ketika jarinya digenggam,itulah saat paling mengharukan dalam hidupnya dan untuk seketika beliau kaku. Gambar ini telah diambil dengan jelas sekali. Penulis telah menamakan gambar ini dengan tajuk 'Hand of Hope -Tangan Harapan".

Dalam tulisannya berkenaan gambar ini, "Jari kecil bayi berusia 21 minggu,Samuel Alexander Armas keluar dari rahim ibunya untuk menggenggam jari tangan Dr Joseph Burner seolah-olah berterima kasih kepada doctor yang menghadiahkan sebuah kehidupan kepadanya".

Ibu Samuel berkata, mereka menagis beberapa hari apabila melihat gambar tersebut. Dia berkata, "Gambar ini mengingatkan kita bahawa mengandung bukanlah mengenai kecacatan atau penyakit, tp ia adalah mengenai seorang insan kecil."

Samuel dilahirkan sihat dan pembedahan ke atasnya dilaksanakan dengan berjaya.

10 mistakes newlyweds make

Stumble upon this from here. Sharing is caring=)

1. Failing to think beyond the wedding

Some couples get so wrapped up in the wedding festivities that they fail to comprehend what they’re getting themselves into. You’re married. The party was probably a lot of fun, but it was one day. Now, you have to live together, get along, and form your own family. Enjoy the wedding planning and the afterglow of your big day – from watching the video to reminiscing with friends – but keep the big picture in your head at all times. - oh yes, think a lot about this lately. Will I be able to be a good wife? Insyallah=)

2. Trying to change your spouse

Presumably, you married your spouse because you are in love with him or her. If that’s the case, then there’s no good reason for changing your spouse. Frankly, most adults don’t drastically change, so your best bet is to accept your spouse and love him or her for the ways he or she is unique and different and not in spite of those things. Trying to change your spouse will only hurt his or her feelings and damage your marriage. - can't agree more. I'm changing myself to be skinner though :P

3. Getting off on the wrong foot with your in-laws

If the damage has already been done, do whatever you can to improve the relationship you have with your in-laws. Be the first to extend the olive branch because the only person who gets hurt when you fight with the in-laws is your spouse, who feels caught in the middle. - so far we are good=) and pray will be that way til end.

4. Fighting over silly stuff

Every married person has argued with his or her spouse over something that seems inane to outsiders – from the notorious cap left off the toothpaste to underwear left on the doorknob. Save your arguments for more important subjects. Let these pet peeves remain as simple pet peeves. Honestly, if the worst thing your spouse does is leave his dirty socks on the floor, you should consider yourself lucky. - huhu, should learn to be more patient. I'm kinda not in that position lately.

5. Acting like you’re still singleNow is the time to grow up. Hanging out with your friends all night was all right when you were a single person with no one waiting for you at home. As a married person, there are behaviors that are no longer appropriate. You know what’s right and what’s wrong, so just do the right thing. - this one for you dude!

6. Rushing into having children

Some couples don’t give themselves enough time to be married to each other. If you can wait to have children, you should consider it because you’ll never have this time alone again. Once children arrive, they will have to be the focus of your attention. Your heart certainly has room for children and a spouse, but you should spoil one another while you can. - but we want fast! haha! hello I'm 27!

7. Going into debt

Starting off your marriage with bills you can’t afford is a terrible beginning. It’s an additional strain on your relationship that you can’t afford. If you are already in debt, make a plan for getting rid of it. Stay on budget, get your finances in order, and you’ll probably fight less. If nothing else, you’ll sleep better at night. - stay on budget, stay on budget, stay on budget NOT!

8. Having unrealistic expectations about marriage

If you think marriage is always a walk in the park, you have another thing coming. There will be hard times. It takes a while to get the hang of living with this other person and making the relationship work. Don’t think that the problems you had before you walked down the aisle are simply going to disappear because you’re married. They won’t. Some problems never will go away. It’s how you deal with them that counts. - yes will rmmber this! sometimes yes I do have this irrational beliefs.

9. Making decisions without consulting your spouse

There are two people in your relationship. When you were single you might have made decisions about where to go after work, what vacations to take, how to spend your money, without discussing it with anyone. Now, however, your decisions have an impact on your spouse, too. He or she has a right to have input in these decisions. - I already considered him now=)

10. Abandoning your sex life

Marriage does not have to mean the end to good sex. It is part of your job as married people to maintain your sexual health, keep things interesting, and make sure you and your spouse are satisfied. When problems do arise, you should address them and do what you can to improve the situation. - ok no comment. we'll see how. haha!

Wedding Update

Tolong, aku tak berapa nak kuat.

=(
