What can you do besides teaching?

Assalamualaikum...

Despite busy with my life as a teacher (you know... lesson plan, meeting, class, students' attendance chart, ect.) i'm putting myself into one more thing that i like the most about being a teacher... co-curriculum. Hence, i joined a sea scout's (pengakap laut) camping last two weeks eventhought i was assigned to be the fire brigade cadet's (kadet bomba) teacher supervisor. It was great since it's been ages i didn't attend a camping. Seem so long after a programme in Gombak.

I had a great time at the camping. Joined the 'Rovers A' scout from Tawau to prepare the tracking, taught the students to sing the 'Lai Chi Kang' song, set-up the night walk trail with the comittee and the most unforgetful was the feeling of not sleeping for two days which i've left this activity almost 6 years ago. All of these just makes me felt younger (Whoa!). I've tried my best not to intercept the comittee members arrangements for the camping activities but i can't denied it that i really like to be a leader and to run the whole camping. For the camping committee, I'm very sorry.

The School Rugby Team's Logo

That was 2 weeks ago. This week, I've been busy with a responsible i've never dreamed of that is to coach the school's rugby team. In the other hand, I think that this was a great chance for me to get involved with this sports. What scares me is that, the team was the runner-up for last year tournament. Trying my best to be a coach, and preparing the team with a very high level of fitness and skills which a essential requirements for rugby players. All training sessions this week was focused on the fitness aspect of the players and some basic skills that the player need to know. Me and few alumnis of the team still searching for the best 20 players to be brought to the tournaments. I was just lucky that some of the alumnis are really helpful and handy. Thanks to azree, allen and some more alumnis.

For next week, my agenda and focus will also into the rugby team and my class management(which I don't want to talk about it now). I think i'll try to put up a new approach into the school's rugby team to coach them and bring them to glorious victory. Fitness and teamwork will be my main focus for next week and hopefully we can have a friendly match by next weekend. That friendly match will be the milestone of me and the team effort of training.

For all the readers that might have experience(s) in rugby, I need your support, ideas and knowledge about rugby. I'm still collecting data on coaching rugby and materials that i can used (which can be found easily) to train the team. Wish me luck next week and i'll report the progress of the team via this blog. See ya!

Too long!

It's been too long! That's the word that can describe this blog. Long enough until i've missed out so many things happen inside the blogger and how it is now linked to the google.com. Anyway, i think this could be the fresh start for me again for this challenging 2008. Ha! Ha! Ha!

There were a lot of things happened in 2007. This might be the complete list of those:

1. I was called to be enrolled into the DPLI programme in UiTM, Shah Alam - January.

2. My wife was transferred to Putrajaya.

3. I've started my career serously in photography - January.

4. The launch of spastic rhyme photography.

5. The launch of http://picasaweb.google.com/rafiza83 website ny my wife.

6. I'd completed my Diploma in Education in November.

7. I'd taught as a practical teacher for about 12 weeks in SMK PP9(2), Putrajaya.

8. Got posted to my hometown to be a teacher.

2008 is still waiting to be fulfilled. My calendar for this year is still empty except for my schedule being a teacher. I'm looking forward for more great development of my life especially my career as a teacher and also a part-time photographer. This year plan is probably be focusing into the Rugby Team of my school. Go! Go! Go! Wild Horse! And also the establishment of spastic rhyme photography.

Hope that this year will bring so much luck and happiness not only for me but for my family, friends and readers. I've been always believed that "Fail to Plan is Planning to Fail!". Hardwork, patience, guts are all I pray to Allah to bless us for the challenging 2008.

Wassalam.

New Phone For The Anniversary

Tak sangka masa cepat sangat berlalu. Pada 26 Nov. lalu genaplah setahun aku mendirikan rumah tangga. Untuk menghargai isteri aku yang telah begitu sabar berkongsi dan menjalani kehidupannya bersama aku untuk setahun ini, aku menghadiahkannya sebuah telefon bimbit. Lagipun, memang keperluan isteri aku memandangkan telefon yang lama tu dah tak bunyi dan sebagainya. Telefon apa aku beli? Sebuah handphone yang amat canggih pada pendapat aku iaitu Sony Ericsson K800i. Detail dia kat bawah ni.

sumber: laman web sony ericsson

Model : Sony Ericsson K800i
Size : 105 x 47 x 22 mm
Weight : 115 g
Screen : 262, 144-colour TFT
240 x 320 pixel

Itu adalah serba sedikit yang aku dapat daripada laman web sony ericsson la... Kalau kawan-kawan nak tahu lebih lanjut, bolehlah pergi ke laman web tersebut.

Kepada isteri tercinta, harapnya kita akan dapat membina kehidupan yang lebih bermakna dalam tahun kedua ini dan semoga kita dikurniakan zuriat yang soleh dan solehah. Amiin....

Penat

Assalamualaikum...

Tempat kerja aku baru sahaja melepasi satu lagi peringkat dalam menuju ke arah pensijilan MS ISO 9001:2000 iaitu audit pra-kepatuhan. Semenjak daripada lepas raya hari tu, hinggalah ke hari ni, aku rasa tak sempat nak rehat. Hari ni lepas main ping-pong dua tiga das, barulah terasa betapa letih dan penatnya badan. Alhamdulillah, penat lelah tu berbaloi. Dan aku rasa kawan-kawan pejabat aku pun berpuas hati dengan perjalanan sepanjang audit berlangsung.

Namun begitu, itu bukanlah pengakhir kepada tugas-tugas aku. Dengan report yang akan diterima selepas audit tersebut, maka aku selaku orang yang bertanggungjawab dalam melaksanakan sistem pengurusan kualiti tempat aku kerja ni, kena lah bertindak dengan sepatutnya. itu bermaksud, nampaknya penat lagi lah aku lepas ni. Tapi disebalik kepenatan tersebut, aku merasakan kegembiraan dan bangga dengan diri ku sendiri. Dengan hasil titik peluh, tak tidur malam, makan tak terurus dan pelbagai lagi corak penderitaan, aku gembira melihat aku berjaya mengumpulkan semua orang dalam Fakulti ni dalam satu majlis yang bermakna. Lebih daripada itu, aku rasa bangga melihat senyuman dan kegembiraan yang terpancar di wajah mereka. Wow!

Selain daripada penat bekerja, aku memang tak sempat nak buat benda lain (kecuali ping-pong). Rumah tu dah kira macam tempat aku mandi dan tukar baju jer. Selain daripada tu, bilik empat segi inilah yang menjadi saksi segala macam perangai aku semasa tidur. Aku tak dapat gambarkan perasaan gembira dan lega yang terbuku dalam hati.

Yang pastinya, esok aku akan berjalan dalam platform dan misi yang lebih tinggi. Dan aku pasti, cabaran ini akan menjadi aku lebih matang dan bijak dalam menangani masalah dan situasi. Benarlah kata orang bijak pandai bahawa masalah dan cabaran itu akan mematangkan dan menjadi kita lebih dewasa.

Semoga kawan-kawan akan turut sama mengalami keadaan yang sama. Jadikanlah kehidupan harian kita lebih bermakna kerana kelmarin hanya mimpi, esok belum pasti tapi hari ini adalah kehidupan.
