Moving Out

I have taken a bold decision in moving out and rent out an apartment at Subang Bestari. Perhaps my mother and other family members can come over and stay once in a while.

The apartment is a brand new which makes it even comfortable to stay in. Hassle free. Everything is completely new. It is like I just bought that house. I am also quite surprised to know that the owner is 2 years younger than me. Quite ashamed to rent a house from a person younger than me. 

Moving over is a tiring process. Yesterday I had done searching for the basic furniture in IKEA with my best buddy. I managed to buy the sofa, dining set, tv bench, wardrobe and coffee table for less than 3k. People might think why are you spending so much for the furniture? Why don't you just buy the cheap furniture at Chinese shop? The answer is simple. I believe that when you chose any furniture, you should choose the best and most durable one. I am the one that really stick to anything when I really love it. So having Ikea furniture is the best  and it will stick with me for perhaps 20 years from now.

On our way to IKEA, we had stopped at the Tesco's clearance sale. I managed to get Sharp LED 39" tv for just RM850. Besides that, I also grabbed a mini HiFi for RM400 only.

May Allah ease in everything that I am doing and blessed my new house. Amiinn.

Leaps of Knowledge, Oxford

On 25th July, I had an opportunity to attend the Leaps of Knowledge event ogranised by Frogasia. The event was held in Garden International School somewhere in Sri Hartamas if I am not mistaken.

Garden International School. The facilities are superb.

I went there with my colleague, Teacher Nethia and we car pooled to there. The event was actually the climax for the Summer School Programme involving around 500 high school students from all around the nation. They were taught about basic knowledge of academic field such as biochemistry, biology, engineering, law, physics, etc by a group of professors from St. Anne's College, University of Oxford. 

I was an exciting experience to be there and meet all the lecturers from the most established university in the world. Perhaps one day I will be one of the student walking in the majestic halls of Oxford colleges one day. Who knows?

Raya Celebration SKJalanU3 2015

Yesterday we had our Raya celebration at the school. Students and teachers wore  beautiful and colourful Baju Raya. We also brought varieties of delicious Raya delicacies like Raya cookies, lemang and rendang. 

During the event, I had volunteered to be in charge of PA system as there was nobody appointed for the duty. I started to set up the sound system until I realised that I had no Raya song in my lappy at all. It was a relieved when Ustaz Rafiq gave   me a list of Raya songs. 

Then, came my ad lib idea of setting up a Radio Raya Corner. I had appointed 3 students to be the DJs to read out the Raya wishes from the students. It was nice to see that the students and teachers enjoyed listening to the DJs.

At the end of the event, I had invited some students for some Raya performances. My class students, Haziq and Khusyairi were incredible in playing the percussion without any practice in prior. 

This was quite an experience that I had managed to help organized with the Year 5 teachers. For next Raya celebration, I will make sure that I plan the programme properly in prior.
