Cant you shut your mouth?

Oh dear, I just taught one of the most talkative people in the world; not only does he talk far too much than the others, he also talks a lot about unimportant things. he's so loud; his voice annoys me, makes peace go away, and disturbs people's feelings.

I mean, can't you just shut your mouth for at least five minutes? oh no, I need you to keep your lips sealed for an hour. That'll do good.

What does he eat? does he enjoy swallowing firecrackers every once in a while?

even girls aren't like you. Girls gossip behind. You talk back in front of everyone.

Well to be honest I don't dislike you, but the thing is sometimes you make me want to cover my two ears fully with my bare hands.

That'll be it. I assume it is pretty clear that I am referring to one of the students in class. I have known this kid for years, but too bad I have had to teach him for so many times. Luckily he's a quite intelligent learner, so I am not really up to giving him a bad score the whole time.

by the way, we had a midday meeting today. it was okay, nothing bad or good took place. Well yeah the meeting was interrupted for a good two-three minutes for something unnecessary to be mentioned. It was fine, at least we had pizza afterwards. that kinda filled me up, though I did feel like taking another slice, but I kept saying to myself  "Stop eating it; you wont be able to make this fat vanish." *giggles*

Kleptomania, Gendut, Banana Bread

Alhamdulillah hari selasanya sudah mulai mudah, gak perlu lagi ngajar karena hari udah mulai malem, tadi masuk kerja jam dua siang, sampai kantor sekitar 11:30 soalnya gw kira akan ada meeting, eehh ternyata gw yang ga update, toh meetingnya hari kamis, kenapa juga gw pake dateng buru-buru sih.

Kelas pertama yang gw ajari tadi itu isinya enam murid usia 5-7 tahunan, tiga anak perempuan, tiga anak lelaki. Ada salah satu murid yang bisa dibilang pinter-lah, hampir semua pertanyaan bisa dia jawab. Gak menyusahkan pula. Nah, sekitar dua puluh menit sebelum kelas usai, gw memang sengaja bikin mereka buat semacam craft yang berhubungan dengan gunting menggunting, tempel menempel. 

Sayangnya waktu agak mepet, jadi semuanya serba terburu-buru. Setelah sisa dua murid perempuan di kelas, salah satunya ngasih tahu gw kalo dia kehilangan pensilnya dengan bahasa inggris yang amat terbata-bata, terus gw bilang kalo gw gak tahu dimana pensilnya, jadi sebagai gantinya gw kasih aja pensil gw sendiri. Yang aneh, saat gw bilang ke murid yang satunya untuk pulang, dia malah bilang saya nanti aja pulangnya.. Ternyata, gak lama setelah si anak yang pensilnya hilang ini keluar kelas, tiba-tiba si anak ini langsung dengan terburu-buru memasukkan satu pensil merah jambu ke dalem tasnya, padahal saat itu neneknya ada di depannya. 

Sepertinya si oma tahu kalo itu bukan pensil si cucu, jadi dia tanya, "Is this your pencil or your friend's?" Dari nada suaranya, gw tahu oma itu marah, kalo memakai feeling gw sih, sepertinya cucunya itu udah ngambil barang milik temennya sendiri tanpa ijin. Nah, setelah gw kembali ke ruang guru, gw tanya kolega gw tentang record si anak ini. Katanya memang si anak perempuan itu sering berbuat seperti tadi siang, setiap kali dia lihat sesuatu yang dia suka, biasanya langsung diambil dan dimasukkan ke tas-nya.

Duh, kok ada ya anak orangtua yang sukses dan mempunyai uang banyak kayak gitu? Ini kan salah satu contoh kleptomania. Susah lho hilangnya.

Menurut Wikipedia, "Kleptomania (from Greek: κλέπτειν, kleptein, "to steal", and μανία, "mania") is an irresistible urge to steal items of trivial value. People with this disorder are compelled to steal things, generally, but not limited to, objects of little or no significant value, such as pens, paper clips, and tape. Some kleptomaniacs may not even be aware that they have committed the theft." Wikipedia

Bisa jadi si pelaku memang tak sadar saat 'mengambil' milik orang lain :'( Kasihan, masih kecil kok begitu..tapi bisa saja gw salah, bisa jadi ini juga bukan pertanda kleptomania, bisa saja dia memang suka dan kepingin punya sesuatu itu.

Oiya, semalem ada yang sempet bilang "Duuh cantiknya.. eh, kamu gendutan yah?"

Wuaaahh, panik deh jadinya, langsung ambil timbangan, ternyata bener naik beberapa kilogram. Pantes aja, baju-baju yang masih bisa dikenakan waktu sebelum hamil dulu udah gak muat lagii.. sesak, dadaku yang sudah mepet jadi semakin mepet lagi, gak sopan dong mengajar kalo gurunya kayak JuPe, hihihihi... dalam hati langsung berniat, okeh besok ga akan makan malam lagi. Pokoknya harus dieett, tapi entahlah nanti malam. Kalo ternyata menu makan malamnya terlihat menggoda, mana bisa gw menjauh, apalagi dengan keadaan perut lapar seperti ini, secara terakhir makan kan tadi siang di rumah. Weits, hampir lupa tadi temen kantor nraktir kita pizza karna dia baru menang taruhan, sayangnya gw makan dua potong pizza aja deh. Wong lezatnya makanan italia itu :)

Gimana juga kalo gw bisa masak apalagi buat kue yah. Sekarang aja, baru pinter buat puding coklat udah semakin membulat seperti ini. Bagaimana kalo gw jadi expert dalam pembuatan banana bread, bisa kacau diet kami berduaaa...tidakk..

Banana bread itu salah satu makanan paling enak dan mudah dan mengenyangkan. Untungnya gak banyak toko kue yang menyediakan, jadi gw ga sering-sering mampir, hehehe.

It's now time for me to rest then. I'll keep posting (unimportant) posts.. Enjoy the rest of your night!

A piece of writing on a Saturday morning

Here I am, in bed. Awake, but still feeling kind of sleepy. Woke up an hour and a half ago, needed to help hubby pack his needs before leaving for Bandung for two days and one night. He left around thirty minutes ago. I am alone but not necessarily lonely. I am so used to being by myself; and I find it normal. Some people might think of me as not good at making friends; but I don't think that makes sense. I have friends, though not many, I have acquaintances; though these are the ones I don't really talk to much, still they are around me.

I can enjoy me being solitary for the next two days, as if I were single again, not married. I have planned on staying at home, haven't thought of anything else. I am thinking of taking a nap later in the afternoon, that will be super. Cant remember the last time I actually took a short nap. It must've been a long time ago :)

Two or three days ago, I had this feeling of depression. Me? Depressed? That sounds crazy I know. I dont look like someone who gets sad easily, I laugh quite a lot, and that sort of thing. But honestly, at that very moment I had the feeling of me not being enough. I felt like I was being compared. That's all that I can say. Probably it is just instincts of those wanting to protect me.

UNIMPORTANT POST FOR THE DAY

Hey guys, it's already Friday night and I am so not ready for tomorrow. I have got plans I know, but I am still unsure about which one I am gonna put into reality. A friend is getting married tomorrow morning, but the thing is I also wanna go to Bandung with hubby. He's planned this for the last three weeks and I don't think I can just change my mind in only two days! He will be furious.

Guess I'm not gonna make it to the wedding ceremony, too bad but what can I do. Well at least I still get to meet my friend two weeks after, and say I am sorry for not being able to attend :-) Hopefully she feels fine with me not coming.

By the way, I only taught two classes today, but I don't know why  I was so not in the mood of doing what I was supposed to be doing. I got extremely super lazy! I didn't talk much, I let the students do the talking. Probably it was also because I was starving, the last time I had a meal was at about this morning around nine, my own cooking: fried-rice. Quite yummy, hubby thought... I also have the urge of getting fried noodles for dinner, don't really care if it isn't good for me, once in a while will be okay.

I suddenly have images of my favorite coffee bread RotiBoy and also lots of frozen yoghurt, :-p

Don't blame me for having these thoughts, they just popped up.

Enough for now, I'll keep posting as soon as possible.

have a good weekend everybody, :-)

Hadith: Balance in Life and Worship

In our youth, there's always an added sense of enthusiasm in whatever we do. So when a Muslim brother in his youth gives much time in learning the Deen and the ways of The Prophet (S) and the Sahaba (R), he becomes prepared to strive for the cause of Deen and go through any amount of hardship. The spirit of Islam drives away their sleep, they stay up each night in Salat, many fast regularly and keep themselves involved in Deeni works all day. Many young muslim brothers become so much enthusiastic that they lose all sorts of interest in worldly matters like studies, jobs, business, family affairs etc. But it's the Sunnah of The Beloved Prophet (S) to maintain a fine balance between all these things, not to abandon them totally. This can be clearly understood from a beautiful hadith from the Sahih Bukhari:

Anas ibn Malik Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that a group of three (men) came to the house of the wives of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam asking about the worship of Allah by Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. So when they were informed, it seemed less (than their expectation). They said: Where are we, compared to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam when Allah has forgiven his past and future sins. So one of them said: As for me, I will offer Salat throughout the night forever, and another said: I will fast forever and I will not break my fast. And another said: I will forsake woman, never to marry. Then Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam came to them and said: Are you the ones who have said such and such? Behold. By Allah! Indeed I am the one who fears Allah most amongst you, and the most pious amongst you. Yet (is spite of that) I fast, and break fast, and offer Salat and I sleep (at night) and I marry women, so whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me! (Bukhari)

BACK TO BLOGGING, FINALLY

Finally, gw bisa nulis lagi. Setelah berjuang mencari tahu alamat blog serta passwordnya, berhasil juga menulis satu postingan blog malem ini. Seminggu ini, jadwal ngajar gw ngga terlalu menyusahkan, cuma senin dan rabu lalu agak berat, mulai jam 10 pagi dan selesai 7.30 malam, tapi gpplah, toh gw nya sendiri masih kuat untuk berjalan kaki 10 menit pulang kerja sebelum akhirnya berhasil naik angkot, =p

Btw, tentang angkot tadi, sebulan ini, gw memilih untuk naik angkot aja, selain memang lebih irit, daripada harus minta adek gw anter kerja ya mending ngangkot aja deh. Sebenernya kalo bicara tentang adek gw yang bontot ini, agak menyebalkan juga. kepingin marah rasanya, but the thing is I cant tell you why. Terlalu rahasia soalnya, xixiixixix

How I miss the feeling after finishing the last sentence of a post. it is like I am talking directly to anyone reading my blog. I know, everybody does I am sure, that I am no blogger who writes only about one topic, for instance I don't blog on make up because i am not  a big fan of branded cosmetics, I don't also blog on fashion since I am fashion-blind, neither do I blog on food or recipes since i am not really good at both. So there you go, i blog because i feel like it. I think that is what matters.
