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! 

Teacher Lya

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
