Happy Teachers' Day! :D

yea i was sorta feeling very bright and semangat over the day this year. hehe. why? well obvious reasons isnt it :p coz this year is the first year in which i celebrated the day as the person to be celebrated (k pe tu...) as a teacher lah, to be put in simple terms -_- celebrated with tuffahah family at tuffahah itself... :) the place was in a cheery mood as soon as i stepped in. the teachers' lounge was filled with bags and bags of presents for the teachers who had received them from the morning session.. :)
tuffahah kids from afternoon session kept coming in as they arrived... with more presents and wishes...
there were also kisses and hugs.. hehe ["ohhh teacher khalidah dapat present baru nk sayang eh.." teacher mai usik teacher khalidah ^^]
and lots of food~the kids' parents brought us teachers cakes~(there were 3 of them!)and chocolates~(wan will be jealous of this hehe) and polar puffs also~ wow...
but push all that aside the celebration itself was a wonderful one :) tuffahah to me had been family for 2 months now... eventhough i dont teach a class (which is kind of sad as this means i dont know the children as much as the other teachers do) but its ok really... insyaAllah this will be a stepping stone.. from just tutoring rizhwan and salam to insyaAllah a class..
i still have the teachers who had been nothing but kind and wonderful... :)

teacher anisa... the principal of tuffahah.. my boss and also my mentor.. the one i go to for opinions and advises to tackle with problems and to improve myself.. a mother of 3 children who speak arabic like river flowing.. matin, maya & omar.. omar esp.. such a lovely kid. only 1 year plus! "ya omar, ma za turid?" meaning 'ya omar, what do you want?' [he always intrude my class haha]
"aina ball?" he will reply in his cute, pelat voice. meaning 'where's my ball?'
"maa fii huna. ukhruj", i will reply in an unconcerned way 'not here, go out'. hahaha. because if i sound welcoming towards him rizhwan and salam will start playing with him and ill never get the lesson start! hee. but yes, i love omar. :) and he's so clever aint he~ speak arabic ok.

teacher khalidah... hehe. the most garang teacher in tuffahah. she's the one the kids cant mess with. she is like the discipline mistress. the kids all respect and also scared of her. hehe. but she teaches well. she teaches all she knows. and she has a good heart. and with children, they somehow know that. :) they know eventhough she scolds them and makes them cry, it is for their best. and they never keep it inside their hearts. children are wonderful in that way!

teacher maisarah... the most lembut, compassionate, always smiling~ teacher. :) she never scolds. never gets angry. total opposite of khalidah hehe. a mother of the most beautiful baby ive ever seen... omar alfaruqi. the fair boy with black curls.. subhanaAllah he is such a goodlooking baby... perhaps its because of looking at omar everyday that teacher maisarah never feels stressed or angry. just love, love and lotsa love..
omar alfaruqi is another member of the tuffahah family. loved by all-kids and teachers. but his favourite is teacher khalidah hehe ironic isnt it. and yes, khalidah loves him a lot too. she would carry him and play with him even when she's teaching. :) and he will feel very happy whenever she's around... to him, she is his 2nd mother...

teacher lateefah... the most beautiful mother ive ever seen.. mother of 2 lovely girls, dayana and marsha. teacher lateefah is someone with colourful personality. she is beautiful and funny. to us, her friends, she is like the heart and soul of everything. with her around, things always get more lively and fun. the way she dresses, the way she jokes, the way she talks... it all spells f-u-n. ^^ but when it comes to teaching, masyaAllah all that can change.. she is stern. she has a voice that commands. she enlarges her eyes and stares at the children with a threatening look. its so interesting to see, really. and whats more incredible is how she suits both personalities well. it doesn't contradict at all. it is.... suitable.

teacher zahrah... my junior from maarif. someone who is beautiful both inside and out. the best akhlaq ive ever seen... sweet, softspoken and im sure pious too... she smiles, and you can see the nur from her heart reflected on her face.. her face.. subhanaAllah.. someone from the blood of Rasulullah SAW.. what more can i say... her beauty is like the moon glowing in the dark night.. but never, never had i once hear she boast... or even reflect it in her actions.. her humility and modesty... masyaAllah is beyond anyone ive ever met.. somebody like her deserves a husband as beautiful as she is... ameen..

teacher ferra... another junior of mine from maarif :) this teacher is famous for her love for pink. she never fails to turn up in something pink each day. she is someone with what i can say, cute, i guess. outgoing too. hyperactive. she talks loud. she is bouncy2 :D she is very girly. the kids love her. :)

teacher aminah... the indian-muslim whom talks in a high pitch sound. hehe. she is someone who talks her mind out. always manage to make everything sound funny but it is just her nature. unlike teacher lateefah who jokes, teacher aminah jokes but about matters you talk about everyday. she is a dear. a mother of amin... 5 year old boy whom i hope will look after his mother well when he grows up..

all are dear to me... i learn so much from each of them everyday i go to work.. as for me, teacher ruqayyah.. i do not know how they think of me.. but i am somehow who learns insyaAllah.. and insyaAllah i will get better and better..
may Allah bless all of us teachers in tuffahah...
ameen..
