self esteem
salam satu malaysia! ( i sound like one of the tv presenter...)
have u ever encountered a particular person who obviously looks high upon themselves? whatever he or she does has always been the most outstanding thing u've ever witnessed?
i dun blame these people for what they believe in, which is obviously THEMSELVES. i always admire people who have such a high self esteem. i envy them for being able to not think about their weaknesses and always bring forward their strengths. but there's always a limit. self esteem is often misjudged by people as being cocky and arrogant. well, i do believe when you have gone over beyoonnndddd the limit, then people would have misjudged you. so, tone it down.
so to whom it may concern, please be aware of your own actions. i'm not asking you not to love yourself but remember there's always a limit. a limit which you can set by yourselves.
regards,
zaim

hypocrisy
sometimes it's good to be hypocrite. i just choose to be one in certain occasions. i just don't want to get involved in any drama. i'm sick and tired of it. i've had enough.

if only...
hye peeps,
just watched "Oprah Winfrey show". it showcased few of talented children. i was astounded with the amount of talented kids out there and the talents that they have. there's one children who is very talented in tv hosting and she got the chance to interview taylor swift which is her favorite singer ever. there's also one boy who sings like an angel and made goosebumps all over me.
i was very attracted to one of many quotations made by taylor swift. she said and i quote" when you have a dream and something that you really want to do, just go for it and never look back. you'll experience the ups and downs but just cherish every moment of it. at the end of the day, you'll be amazed with what you've achieved and be thankful with all the experience you've gained".
i couldn't agree more. but if only i could turn back time and do what i really wanted to do. if only i could be able to experience the ups and downs and the obstacles in realizing the dreams which i long for. but it's all too late now.
but to be in the positive side, although what i did for these past years has not been one of my dreams to be doing, but i'm very thankful of all the experiences i've gained. i tried my best to make my mind to take this positively and bring all the "good" vibes towards all my actions and behaviors.
just one more year, zaim. be patient.
and all your sacrifices will be worth doing and you'll be one of the best in the profession that you'll be in- a TEACHER that is.
in just one more year, you'll be hearing cute little voices shouting your name out loud, "Good Morning, Sir Zaim". to be honest, can't wait for that time to come.
with that, i do believe that teaching is a profession where you have to be in it to love it. the experiences that somehow hook you up to it.
till then, i'm a great believer of this saying " a great teacher inspires". that's what i'm aiming for. pray for me.
thanks.

ayah, abah, papa, daddy,abi...
salam peeps,
i love kids. period. i love being accompanied by kids all the time regardless of their naughty well being and attitude. i love seeing their faces and the laughter and joy that they portray through their pretty little faces. i love it when they try to get your attention by doing silly things. i love the serenity that you can get when you see their innocent faces. They are are little angels that make your day full of happiness. that's why i choose to teach in a primary school.
i always dream of becoming a father one day. i always try to imagine the day when i first welcome my own baby and the way that i'll teach him or her to be a good person. i want to get the feeling of hearing my child calling "ayah", "abah", "daddy" or "papa" to me. i know that will also come with huge responsibilities but i seriously want to experience the calmness that u can get by hearing your child calling your name. this has always been the topic of discussion among my friends and I. When they started to talk about children, kids, babies etc, i started becoming very attentive and "alive" in the discussion.
i have been mistaken to be having my own kids a lot. there was this one time when i was on a flight to tasmania. there were a mother and her pretty little daughter who were seated in front of me. i started to play with the daughter and suddenly the mother turned around and said " how many kids do you have?". and i was like,"hhhmm, i dun have any kids. i'm still studying." and she replied " you are very good at handling kids. you'll be a great father one day." and at that moment, i was very happy and overwhelmed. at first i was a bit shocked as i thought of maybe my face looked a bit older. but realizing the fact that most people in Australia married and have their own kids at a very young age somehow swept away my negative thought. and the recognition that the mother gave to me was really aspiring and motivational.
can't wait to have my own family. a big happy family. me, my wife, and three little angels. two boys and 1 girl. ;). that's only a plan. it'll all be in God's hand.
adios kudos muchos.

wtf...
salam everyone..
hhmm how ironic to start with a salam when u have a post with a "cursing" title. anyways, just received my flight ticket back to Malaysia from the government. was pretty happy and excited. on the other hand, i was pretty upset and shocked with what i've seen. guess what? my flight ticket back to malaysia costs rm11583!!!! i was extremely shocked when i saw the amount stated in the itinerary. it was ridiculous when u have to pay that amount of money for a one way economy class ticket. even a business class ticket on the same airline to malaysia from brisbane only costs you rm8000 max.
so that means, the government has to pay at least rm300,000 for all 26 of us in brisbane to go back to malaysia. well, how about my fellow colleagues in new zealand and the uk?? how much had the government spent just to get us back to malaysia? yup, i know we should be grateful and blessed with all the sponsorship that we've got. personally, i am grateful and blessed. but thinking of having to pay a huge amount of money when u can get a cheaper deal really frustrates me. let say, if the ticket only costs about rm 4000. so where the hell is the other rm7000++?? into the pocket of some culprit(s) that only think of grabbing the opportunity that they can get to "steal" the money from the government??i don't really get it.
i know i dun have the power to change all of this. i just want to express my dissatisfaction. i know politics have its own good and bad. but sometime i dun really get the idea of having the power to manipulate other people. when u have the power, u should use it wisely. when u have the responsible, u have to do it with honor and respect. u shouldn't neglect it or just do take it for granted.
this is why sometime i do think i dun even make the cut of being in the political arena. i'd rather be at the "background" than be the front runner.
hope politics in malaysia do change for a better future of the nation.
adios kudos.
