taking chances

somehow..
I feel like the song "waiting outside the lines" by Greyson Chance is actually dedicated to me..
It's about taking chances..
The lyrics are somehow very related to me..

You never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances
How are you going to reach the top?

Rules and regulations
Force you to play it safe
Get rid of all the hesitation
It's time for you to seize the day

Instead of just sitting around
And looking down on tomorrow
You gotta get your feet off the ground
The time is now

I'm waiting..waiting..just waiting
I'm waiting..waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

Try to have no regrets
Even if its just tonight
How you gonna walk ahead
If you keep living blind

Stuck in the same position
You deserve so much more
There's a whole world around us
Just waiting to be explored

Instead of just sitting around
And looking down on tomorrow
You gotta get your feet off the ground
The time is now, just let it go

I don't want to force you to smile
I'm here to help you to notice the rainbow
Cause I know what's in you is out there

I'm trying to be patient
Each step is the hardest
I know you can make it
Go ahead and take it

You never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances
How are you going to reach the top?

Chapters in Life

my ex-schoolmate's engagement day, 12 November 2012

Alhamdulillah,

Yesterday one of my friends selamat ditunangkan...moga-moga pertunangan mereka selamat hingga ke jinjang pelamin dan kekal ke akhir hayat..amiin..

So, as for her life, she has turned a new page..and soon..she's going to open a new chapter in her life..

MARRIAGE~

at the age of 23, many..i would say..of my friends got married and got engaged..getting engaged..getting married...even getting and got newborn in their family~

so...Congratulations to all my friends who are getting married and just having baby..and getting a baby tak lama lagi :D

owh...I'm so happy for you guys...

Single life is challenging yet Married life is more challenging...

Before this...most of the time..you would think about yourself..

Your judgement only concerns about your life..

*Of course..for certain circumstances..you would consider about you parents and family*

But after that...you become secondary

Husband comes first...

Just like in "Bini-biniku Gangster"

*Suami didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan*

Everything you do..you have to think about your husband first..

Whether he likes it or not..he approves it or not..

Your judgement..not only concerns about your life..but your husband and his family's too

and i think..hanya yang tabah mampu mengharungi semua ini...

whoaa~ :D

so..

out of 10 505bedas...

2 already married and 1 is expecting a baby..insyaAllah June 2012 :D and the other one insyaAllah tak lama lagi.. :D

1 is getting married this December :D

1 is engaged this year...and getting married next year..

1 sudah dirisik..and insyaAllah also getting married next year...

2 are planning to get married next year...amiin...

3...hurm...what happen to these 3 ladies??? :D

secara konklusinya..menurut chuna..

satu tahun, 505bedas akan menghasilkan 3 weddings

2011: Mard (May), Aiman (July) & Sue (December)

2012: Chuna (insyaAllah June), Illi Mimie & Ckin (still deciding..most probably end of the year kot)

2013: ex505bd...hahaha...weyh jangan tarikh dekat2! :D Kam, Capa & Me

but..who knows...yang expected to get married 2013 kahwin lagi awal dari yang dah plan untuk 2012..hahaha..what ever it is...all of us are going to open a new chapter in our lives kan~ :D

as for my other friends..my ex-schoolmates and cohort5..

semoga berkekalan hingga ke anak cucu ke akhir hayat dan sentiasa diredhoi Allah

and please pray for my own happiness too :D

*ambil berkat dah banyak dah rasanya... :P*

BELANJAWAN 2012

i think i should write something ilmiah today...because i have to read something ilmiah~~~

next 2weeks i have kursus induksi sistem saraan malaysia-KISSM

and 1st december i have *most probably-since there's been lotsa issue about this stuff* SPP interview (SPP-suruhanjaya perkhidmatan pelajaran)

as for KISSM i have 4 assignments to do..2 individual essays and 2 group tasks..all in Malay..

it's quite hard for us since it had been almost 4-5 years we haven't write essays in Malay...

i'm afraid the grammar *tatabahasa* all would be upside down and BM grammar rules change every second the people in DBP change...seriously...

and for SPP interview...INTERVIEW!!!!!my last interview was before i entered IPBA~

for the selection of course...and BPG interview was my luckiest interview ever..

because i never have any luck with interview..and always screw my interview..

i still remember..when i was in form 3..

i had an interview with cikgu R for the PPS-librarian selection..and it was in pairs..

and the thing about me..sometimes..when i'm too nervous..i would have the tendency to speed-talking and couldn't help myself from talking too much~ T_T

and that's what happened~~~~~ -_-"

so..as for this interview...i have to prepare myself with all the current news~

i hate reading newspapers...for certain reasons...

not mainly because i hate reading..

i love reading..but lately i prefer watching than reading....

i mean..watch dramas and tv series~ :D

and today..since i'm not going anywhere...most probably too...hahah..never know when impulsiveness is going to strike me~ :P

so i decided to read something educational..and maybe try to read notes for my KISSM assignments...

again...

kita merancang..Allah yg menentukan~God's will

hehe

so..while i was browsing through the net...

*i decided to read about belanjawan 2012..since everyone kept on telling me "Untung jadi cikgu..gaji tinggi" but i have no idea about sistem tangga gaji yang baru...i know that there's a change in our salary...but that's it... :D*

and i found one article...

Kenaikan gaji asas guru baru itu lebih tinggi dari gaji asas seorang doktor gred 41 (gi check sendiri front page Berita harian Selasa 17-5-2011). Kasihan doktor kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa. Patut la ramai doktor Malaysia lari ke Singapore dan luar negara. Aku ulang sekali lagi, gaji guru lagi tinggi melebihi gaji doktor! Gaji guru baru ni bukan lebih tinggi dari gaji doktor je, tapi lebih lebih tinggi dari gaji asas jurutera dan profesional di jabatan kerajaan. Ni aku cakap pasal cikgu yang lepasan diploma gred 32 ni. Gaji depa mengalahkan gaji profesional.

statement beliau amat menyakitkan mata~~~~~

1. Kasihan doktor kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa.

apa..cikgu tak kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan juga ke?

before this, gaji cikgu di Malaysia yang kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa.

for your information:

In Singapore, the degree holders teachers receive payment higher than teachers in Malaysia

Qualifications	Gross Starting Salary
Pass Degree	$2,770
Pass with Merit	$2,900
Honours	$3,100 to $3,250

SGD 2,770 = RM 6,765.65

that's for degree holders~

Qualifications	Gross Starting Salary
Polytechnic Diploma1 (Technical)	$1,920
Polytechnic Diploma1 (Non-Technical)	$1,800
‘A’-Level	$1,480

SGD 1,480 - RM 3,617.85

(http://www.moe.gov.sg/careers/teach/career-info/salary/geo1/)

In New Zealand, the average salary for both primary and secondary teachers in New Zealand is approximately NZD 40,000 to NZD 50,000. The starting salary is around NZD 34,000.

NZD 34,000 = RM 83,328.09

In Japan, public school teachers are paid by the Prefectural Government. In 2005, the average salary for an elementary teacher is equivalent to $45,515 USD. Japanese teachers are the 5th best paid behind Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany and Korea.

USD 45,515 = RM 143,354.39

FOKUS KEEMPAT: MEMPERKEJAP PERKHIDMATAN AWAM

56. Bajet 2012 akan memperkenalkan Sistem Saraan Baru Perkhidmatan Awam atau SBPA yang akan menggantikan Sistem Saraan Malaysia atau SSM. Sesungguhnya, SBPA digubal dengan matlamat mentransformasikan Perkhidmatan Awam Malaysia supaya menjadi organisasi yang lebih dinamik, responsif dan berorientasikan prestasi. SBPA akan memperkenalkan prinsip perubahan radikal dalam pengambilan dan pengisian jawatan serta pembangunan kerjaya dengan teras pengekalan atau penamatan perkhidmatan penjawat awam berasaskan prestasi kerja. SBPA ini mempunyai elemen-elemen berikut:

Pertama: Mewujudkan Dasar Pemisah atau exit policy bagi penjawat awam yang berprestasi rendah dan mereka yang memilih untuk meninggalkan perkhidmatan;

Kedua: Menambah baik struktur gaji penjawat awam melalui pembentukan gaji sebaris dengan mewujudkan lebih banyak mata gaji supaya penjawat awam terus mendapat kenaikan tahunan bagi tempoh yang lebih lama. Dengan itu, gaji maksimum bagi sesuatu gred adalah lebih tinggi daripada sekarang. Contohnya, jika di bawah SSM, bagi seorang guru pada gred DG48, gaji maksimum adalah 6,325 ringgit dan 39 sen, kelak, di bawah SBPA, gaji maksimum beliau akan meningkat 37.7 peratus kepada 8,710 ringgit. Bagi guru bukan siswazah pula, jika di bawah SSM kini, yang berada pada gred DG34, gaji maksimum adalah 3,860 ringgit dan 52 sen, kelak nanti, di bawah SBPA ia akan meningkat 39 peratus kepada 5,370 ringgit;

Ketiga: Pada perutusan khas Hari Guru yang lalu, saya telah mengumumkan laluan kerjaya perkhidmatan perguruan siswazah yang lebih baik. Tidak perlu lagi seperti dulu, seorang guru terpaksa menunggu sehingga 20 tahun untuk naik pangkat, sebaliknya sekarang, dalam skim baru mengikut time-based, seorang guru akan mendapat gred 44 pada tahun ke-8 dan gred 48 pada tahun ke-16. Bagi guru bukan siswazah, dari gred 29 kepada 32, jika mengikut sistem time-based sekarang, ia memakan masa 10 tahun, namun, di bawah SBPA hanya mengambil tempoh lapan tahun sahaja. Seterusnya pula, bagi kenaikan gred 32 ke 34, jika sekarang ini bergantung pada kekosongan, tetapi di bawah SBPA kelak, kaedah time-based lapan tahun turut diterima pakai; dan

Keempat: Kenaikan Gaji Tahunan tidak pernah disemak sejak 1991. Mulai tahun 2012, Kenaikan Gaji Tahunan penjawat awam akan ditingkatkan antara 80 hingga 320 ringgit mengikut gred. Di samping itu, bagi penjawat awam yang menerima opsyen ke SBPA, akan mendapat faedah kenaikan gaji, di antara 7 hingga 13 peratus.

(http://www.bharian.com.my/articles/UcapanBelanjawan2012/Article/)

Pada pendapat saya, langkah yang diambil dalam pembentangan Belanjawan 2012 boleh dianggap sebagai satu anjakan paradigma yang positif.

Selama ini, profesion keguruan dipandang remeh oleh golongan masyarakat kita. Sejak berkurun lamanya, masyarakat kita hanya memandang bidang kedoktoran, kejuruteraan dan sebagainya sebagai bidang profesional yang layak menerima gaji yang tinggi. Namun begitu, penjawat awam kakitangan kerajaan dalam bidang keguruan menerima gaji yang agak rendah berbanding negara-negara lain, sedangkan ianya juga salah satu cabang bidang pekerjaan profesional.

Tambahan pula, untuk menjadi seorang guru, tempoh pembelajaran seorang mahasiswa graduan ijazah sarjana muda pendidikan mengambil masa 5 tahun setengah hingga ke 6 tahun, hampir sama seperti tempoh bagi seorang pelajar jurusan perubatan mahupun kejuruteraan.

Dari aspek pekerjaan pula, merujuk kepada artikel "Kasihan doktor kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa" pula, bagi saya, setiap pekerjaan memerlukan pengorbanan masa dengan kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa. Seorang guru juga perlu mengorbankan masanya dengan kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa demi mendidik anak bangsa untuk menjadi insan yang berilmu. Bagi golongan masyarakat yang tidak terlibat dalam kerjaya keguruan (tidak mempunyai ibu bapa yang berkerja sebagai guru atau saudara mara yang terlibat dalam bidang pendidikan) mungkin tidak akan dapat mengerti beban kerja yang ditanggung oleh guru-guru dalam kehidupan seharian mereka. Kadangkala guru terpaksa bekerja lebih masa walaupun pada hujung minggu, terlibat dengan kelas-kelas tambahan bagi murid-murid yang bakal menduduki peperiksaan seperti UPSR, PMR, SPM dan STPM, aktiviti ko-kurikulum dalam dan luar sekolah, mengiringi pelajar bagi setiap pertandingan tidak kira di dalam negeri atau di luar negeri, menanda kertas-kertas peperiksaan dan ujian dan sebagainya. Apa yang masyarakat kita tidak nampak adalah pengorbanan-pengorbanan yang dilakukan oleh guru-guru sebenarnya merisikokan keharmonian rumah tangga mereka juga sekiranya mereka mempunyai ahli keluarga yang tidak memahami. Mereka juga perlu menyeimbangkan masa mereka bagi memastikan keperluan keluarga terjaga. Menjadi seorang guru juga bukanlah sesuatu perkara yang mudah kerana seperti pekerjaan yang lain, guru juga perlu bijak dalam membezakan hal-hal peribadi dan hal-hal professional agar tidak mencampur adukkan masalah yang dihadapi secara peribadi dengan masalah di tempat kerja.

Bukanlah kami, sebagai bakal guru atau guru ingin meminta balasan dan bekerja hanya sekadar mengejar gaji, tetapi apa yang kami mahukan agar masyarakat mula mengubah cara pemikiran yang selama ini menganggap profession keguruan sebagai satu langkah akhir dalam memilih kerjaya. Negara-negara lain meletakkan bidang keguruan di antara kerjaya yang professional dan mengiktiraf guru-guru mereka dan memberikan gaji yang setimpal dengan kemahiran mereka dalam bidang pendidikan. Dan telah tiba masanya untuk negara kita untuk melakukan perkara yang sama.

Jadi, janganlah sewenang-wenangnya mengeluarkan kata-kata seperti "Kasihan doktor kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa" kerana semua pekerjaan adalah sama saja. Semuanya memerlukan pengorbanan. Hatta menjadi seorang tukang cuci hotel juga memerlukan pengorbanan~

2. Gaji guru baru ni bukan lebih tinggi dari gaji doktor je, tapi lebih lebih tinggi dari gaji asas jurutera dan profesional di jabatan kerajaan

Secara tidak langsung kenyataan kedua ini telah dibahaskan dalam kenyataan diatas. Jadi tidak perlulah saya mengulas kenyataan ini lagi.

Secara tuntasnya, guru layak menerima kenaikkan gaji kerana yang menjadikan seseorang itu doktor atau jurutera tidak lain tidak bukan adalah guru. Secara logiknya, layaklah guru menerima gaji yang lebih tinggi dari gaji doktor, gaji asa jurutera dan professional di jabatan kerajaan. :D

*cubaan untuk mengarang dalam bahasa melayu :D*

wow...i really made an extra effort on this post~

all thanks to the statement :

Kenaikan gaji asas guru baru itu lebih tinggi dari gaji asas seorang doktor gred 41 (gi check sendiri front page Berita harian Selasa 17-5-2011). Kasihan doktor kerja gila-gila, korban keluarga, rakan-rakan dan kehidupan, tapi tak dapat apa-apa. Patut la ramai doktor Malaysia lari ke Singapore dan luar negara.

Gaji guru baru ni bukan lebih tinggi dari gaji doktor je, tapi lebih lebih tinggi dari gaji asas jurutera dan profesional di jabatan kerajaan. Ni aku cakap pasal cikgu yang lepasan diploma gred 32 ni. Gaji depa mengalahkan gaji profesional.

at least i know a little bit about sistem tangga gaji guru Malaysia and other countries..I always know the fact that Malaysian teacher receive underpaid payment compared to other countries but now i know how big the differences are..but again..i can't compare because our country is a developing country and yet to be at par with those countries~dapat kenaikan macam ni pon dah cukup Alhamdulillah...banyak lagi golongan masyarakat yang memerlukan bantuan~

p/s: dah nak berkarat tau tak belajar nak jadi cikgu~if you know nothing better you keep your mouth shut

lost train

wishing that miracle will do its own magic trick..but i guess it happens only in fairy tale~

you know right..people love to say...

"kalau la aku...mesti....."

"kalau la aku pergi last week...xdela aku....."

which most of the time these kind of statements often lead to regrets~

and i always said..

"buah KALAU ni memang manis diluah, pahit ditelan"

meaning...

it's easy for us to just give the IF statements...but in reality..it hurts~because it leads to regret~

realizing your own mistakes and how you could do better by choosing the road not taken...would be hurtful...knowing that it could be the other way round..

ok...

suddenly i lost in my own words...

i forgot what i wanted to write earlier...

hurm...

*depress*

janji manis mungkir perit...

*new topic*

promises are made to be broken but as human we have to learn to keep our promises~

and that's the thing about being human...

we often forget...

we are forgetful creature..

although we are given the brightest brain..

but still..

we fail to remember one tiny simple promise...

JANJI MANIS

masa berjanji...manisnya bahasa...

suddenly everyone is changing and become the sweet talker...

dari sekecil-kecil janji..ke sebesar-besar nista...

but everything sounded so good..so right..so possible...

but when it comes to THE DAY....

suddenly...

you disappear in the midst of the night...

gone with the wind..

leaving the promises shattered and scattered all over the place..

MUNGKIR PERIT

for the person who broke the promises..

he/she might not feel a thing..

they might not feel the guilt of breaking the promises that they had vowed at the beginning of the story...

but for the other person...

who had been waiting for THE DAY to come..

where all the promises will turn into reality...

PERIT

pohon nyiur jauh melambai

pohonnya tegak hingga ke pangkal

kalau tahu niat tak sampai

usah menabur janji sejengkal

*sleepless night*

i can't

after 6hours in car,

travelling from kedah to Kl..

*although the highway was jammed with cars from out of nowhere

and my dad managed to make a new lane..other cars too...we used the emergency lane..

and it's the fastest lane..otherwise i think i wont be here blogging at this moment..

might still be in the car...sleeping..

so i was going to say that after 6 hours in car..sleeping most of the time..

now i think i can't sleep..

but i have to wake up early tomorrow as we have to go to PJ Caring Home for our community service..

can't imagine how the 6 of us are going to entertain the old folks there..

only 6 of us!!!

the other places..40, 20 people are going..

what ever~hopefully everything is going to turn up great tomorrow~

yes...

i can't sleep...

and

while facebooking...

i saw my senior's status on her facebook...

she wrote..

Sometimes when you give up on someone, it's not because you don't care anymore, but because you realize they don't

and suddenly it hits me..

damn true

why wait for people who don't care or never seems to care about you..right?

but most of the time..

giving up on someone is very hard because you know you still care about that person..

reality hurts

the Quest: Red Velvet #Part 1

ok..last post i talked about my craving of red velvet cupcake/cake.

so yesterday~after came back from mid valley, i realized that i forgot to buy red velvet..

so i told kam..and she said she was thinking of buying me a red velvet too when she went to OU..

but she forgot too..

so...impulsively we decided to go to bangsar village to hunt for red velvet after maghrib~ :D

and we had to ask mercy from aiman to send both of us there~~

so the first target was...the daily grind-but we couldn't find any red velvet cake..so we went to the second floor..-bijoux

and we found the cupcake~

looked yummy right...so i was very happy because finally i got the chance to eat red velvet cupcake~

after i had my dinner..took a nap for a while..then i tasted the cupcake..

unfortunately, the taste was not up to my expectation~ :(

the cream and the cupcake~ :(

somehow the chocolate taste was very strong that i felt like i was eating a chocolate cupcake.. :(

owh yeah...

before we went back,

we walked across the daily grind..and we saw......

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!

so...

our next mission..probably next week :D

is to go to daily grind and buy a slice of red velvet cake~

i really hope that it tastes GOOOOOOOOD....just like what i've been thinking~

let's say if the taste is still not up to or even par to my expectation, really have to ask recipe from anak cikgu amnah~her daughter's red velvet cake was DAEBAK!!something that i would say..

YUMMYLICIOUS and my reaction would be..

or

the moment where kuroyanagi's reaction after eating azuma's bread..and he bend over~haha

ok..

better get ready~am going back to kedah~
