Of being adults and Christmas. Merry Ho Ho Ho.

I should probably end 2016 with a post. So here goes.

I am now a teacher, who own a car.  I am happy with my career because I got lots of holiday and I have salary every month. I am no longer that weeping sad poor lady who sits at home doing nothing. Now I can finally buy anything I want, give my mom money, buy anything my siblings want and contribute something at home. Yea, I know I sound pathetic and sad. But not anymore. HAHA.

So, this year’s Christmas was a fun one. Only because I got to hang out with my friends, and partying and drinking and and... As our usual routine every year, we went to Christmas Eve mass and this year, unfortunately, we were all separated. My parents got a seat in the church (because they went a little bit early) and my little sister and I was seated outside, for the first time! It was all good even though it felt a bit chilly outside. The weather was also good on the 24^th. It was not raining and on 25^th it rained on the afternoon. See, God is good all the time. At night, we went to Nano’s house to party. HAHA. It was a good celebration. The last time we were at Nano's house for celebration was Christmas 2013 if I’m not mistaken. This year, we all have jobs already so it kinda like reunion between the adults. Hmm…adults sangat. On 26^th, I was called to Nano’s house again to “party”. This is my first time drinking baileys and tequila. And it’s a little bit sad because there were only Tata and me representing the 5sc1’09 ladies because the others all went back already. Yes, I mean you Ichel and Cter. WAHAHA. We party hard that night. Singing and dancing like we’re in the club. Cheers!

And that’s it for my Christmas celebration this year. Everyone will be going back to their respective area soon. Its only three days before New Year and four days till I go back to Nabawan and be a good teacher to my students. Sigh. But whatever it is, I thank God for everything that happened this year. My job, my life, my relationship. Above all, God is good and will never let you suffer. Amen.

Merry Christmas 2016! See you next Christmas post next year. 

Blessed Christmas

The busiest week

You know you are F busy when you don’t even have enough sleep or whether you have eaten or not. 'cause when the busy-ness consume you, you will not feel hungry. true story.  I was so busy last week, I think I lost 2 kg. Which is good actually. I really need to lost weight, I’m getting fat. Mind you, not fat fat all over the body but nasty belly fat. The kind of fat that I hate.

I was involved in Sports day event as time keeper. In which I got sunburned because me no wearing some sunblock. Stupid me. The sports day was held in neighbouring school for two days and I was standing directly under the sun for two days. And in the afternoon, I had dancing practice for this PSKPP event until night. I was so busy from morning until night like a celebrity would. *tepis bahu* I even have exam paper to make, where got time man.

That dancing thingy was a one-time event I will never join again. Not that I hate it, but I am really not good in dancing that I hate myself more when I monitor myself dancing in a video. To think that we only have 4 days to memorize all the steps and being a first timer dancer, I feel so drained and emotionally exhausted. But luckily we won (and even though I made many mistakes, I dance pretty well, clap clap) and were to represent PEDALAMAN to state level BUT Dayana and me had to withdraw because of our personal problem. Although I feel a tad sad but thank God I can sleep in the afternoon again! Dancing is really not my thing. Maybe if we have like months to practice, then I will surely maybe think about joining again. One of the good thing that came out from joining this event was I met many new friends. Finally, I have new friends from other school. Ok, that sounds pathetic.

I am a Teacher

After six month of waiting and being a full time couch potato, I finally got hired! It was the best day of my life, the feeling when you got the surat tawaran, and then the penempatan, then the school you got posted to. It’s like the six month I got tired of waiting just gone, pooff, just like that.

So chronologically, I got the news about my pending interview result on 13^th May (after being kept as simpanan for 5 months long that is), and then I got the penempatan news on 6^th June and then the taklimat news on 10^th June and then I went for taklimat at JPN Sabah on 13^th June. So that’s one month of waiting. During the taklimat, we (210 TESL and 38 PAI) were given our surat penempatan sekolah by Puan Hajah Maimunah Binti Haji Suhaibul who is the Pengarah Pendidikan Sabah one by one. Yep one by one and that’s a name I need to remember.

We were also given taklimat about things that we need to know as a teacher, and honestly I don’t remember what was being said. All we want to know is which school we will be posted to and other things don’t matter. All my other close friends got Beluran and I got Nabawan! Which is one and a half hour from my hometown so that’s a plus. My parents always talk about me being posted to Nabawan so I guess their wish came true. I can come home during the weekend if want to. No more flight and two hours of journey to be back.

To all my fellow IPG mates who have not been posted yet, don’t worry, your time will come. We’ve waited this long, why not wait a little bit longer. To my IPG juniors, I don’t know what your future will be like. Most probably, the same fate as us. Don’t worry, you’ll get through it. If you got posted late, buatlah facebook group like us and in there, saling console and support each other like we did. United we stand! It’s all about unity guys.

Lastly, shout out to my friends who got posted to beluran, especially you santi HAHA, baik baik saja. Rajin2 isi egtukar. Yang naik boat, berhati-hati. And to all teachers who got pedalaman deep in the jungle, naik boat, hey at least you guys got more allowance.

And to my first school, I hope I will be okay there. Sk Kebu Baru Nabawan, here I come!

Thanks!

I think I’ve been neglecting my blog for a while. Given my current situation, I could have written tons of posts in my blog but nay I was lazy.  Even though I am constantly worried about my currently jobless situation, I did nothing of sorts to actually solve it. But few days ago, I finally relented and yes, I think it’s time for me to find a job! But job hunting is not easy. Not to mention, I have this contract with the Gov so I can’t work full time job. Sigh. Life is not easy at all. 

Two days ago, I celebrated my 24^th birthday. Yes I am 24 and jobless. I am not into celebrating my birthday because birthday is just another day. Hell I don’t even remember my own birthday this year because ever since I become the jobless lady who stays at home most of the time, I hardly checked the date. Fortunately one of my friend gave me a birthday wish a day before my birthday and I was actually shocked at the realization. My family didn’t even remember my birthday (sad really) so I felt a bit relief because if they knew, they will start wishing me happy birthday and it will be all mushy and awkward. *Goosebumps* I just couldn’t handle cheesy and awkward situation. But shout out to all my friends who had wished me a happy birthday in Facebook and Whatsapp, thanks for all the wishes, love u guys! You guys just reminded me on how useless I am in my 24^th years of living. Ok kidding. (And thanks boyfie for the present. hoho)

So my focus for now is to find a part time job so that I can pay my internet bill every month. I need internet to download movies and dramas and it’s the only way that can make me happy these days. And ever since Descendants of the Sun finished its airing, I've been indulging myself into Japanese dramas, anime and manga (while searching for a job of course). 

On a side note, I am honestly disappointed with KPM. Why won’t you give me job you dirty rotten no good looking KPM.

Ok that’s just looking for trouble. I’m kidding KPM. I AM JUST KIDDING. 

Taya the jobless lady

Cause it's January

This is my obligatory January post.

First of all, Happy New Year 2016! I don’t have any New Year resolution this year. I just want to get a job and earn money. I finished my study and now been waiting for posting for almost a month now. I heard rumours that the second batch will be posted after Chinese New Year and if not, on March. So many rumours means the news are not reliable at all. I guess we just have to wait.

This year I got my first Br1m after being rejected for two years. I applied twice when I was still a student but got rejected because I got book voucher. And I broke my phone so my br1m money was used to pay for my phone’s repair cost. I am back to using the old Nokia phone where you can just type message without looking at the keypad. I was a fast typer long time ago.

So here I am, praying and praying that I will be posted soon, and that I want to get posted in my state and also I want to be able to teach English. I felt pity to some of my friends who, after studying English for more than 5 years, suddenly was asked to teach other subject than English. I mean, I am okay if I was given other subject to teach but I still want to teach my major. Kalau tidak, saying bai tu masa belajar English 5 tahun.

Taya is a teacher
