Goodbye 2014 and Hello 2015

It's been really wild! Yes, so wild.

Despite of all the wildness, I have learnt. So much! Started of 'still grieving' of my late grandma earlier this year and I have to admit that that is the most hardest thing I have went through so far, in life! Still not easy for me now. To be honest, I have a picture of my grandma that I've pasted on my wall so I can still see her beautiful face everyday. That's not easy, somehow I make it through Alhamdulillah. Along the way, I have visited few places this year like Malacca, Penang OMG, I LOVE PENANG so much. Everything seems to be perfect over there. Someday, I would really like to stay working in Penang. I love the food, the place and above of all, I love the people. I also went to Bandung somewhere in February (if im not mistaken) and yes, I love Bandung too. It's just a little bit too crowded for me but still, love it.

My birthday party has been really memorable this year since this is my last year celebrating birthday with my beloved Austin colleagues, still it's not easy though. My friends made a video compiling my pictures with everybody and that's the best gift ever after my owl gifts and my customade Owl's cake. I cried, alot, sadly not only me have cried, almost everybody cried on that day (Lol). I have worked at Austin Heights Schools since August 2011 until July 2014 and that's almost 3 years. Of course I have been so close to my dear students and colleagues and I have loved them so much. However, due to so many problem that I have encountered with the school management, I've chose to leave. Sad! But I've got to do what I've got to do.

Moving on to Fairview, seems that it's not working out and not gonna work anyway. I've chose to come back to my previous school but they only want me back by January. Of course I cannot wait for 3 months without proper job. So I've browsed through the wholelot Johore Bahru seeking for a job. Thank goodness, Marlborough College Malaysia have accepted me! Alhamdulillah, so I started there somewhere in October. It was really fun and I have met so many wonderful people there! The only thing is I am not a teacher there. Just a teaching assistant. However, my teacher, Mihaela Marcovici is so awesome. She makes me feel wanted and always make me feel very important in the artroom. Once a while, she let me handle some art lessons. I can never thank enough to her. She is such an amazing person I have ever met. Sadly, I've changed my mind again and, I've turned to Tenby Schools at Setia Eco Gardens. It was so hard. I started to love everybody in Marlborough and to my surprise, my fellow teaching assistants make a surprise farewell party for me. It was a grande party, with helium balloons tied to the chair, sash, goodies bag with alphabet 'W' on it, dinner and wonderful gift. Of course, it was really memorable moment for me too.

Half-month ago, I have started working at Tenby! So far so effing good. I've been given a laptop for our own use (of course for the sake of the lesson!) And I am looking forward to see all the students once they come back from the holidays!

I don't have any new year's resolutions as it's never work for me! I dont mind what's my 2015 gonna be, I had enough of 2014 so bring it on!

Anyway, There are so many people I've met and there are so many people that I wanna thank to but it will be never enough to just mention them here.

With this opportunity, on the new year's eve I would like to say thank you to everybody just to let you know that I am always thankful for being given a chance to meet you and it's such an honour to have you in my life! I am not who I am today, without YOU!

Thank You & Happy New Year 2015

First Day of Being 25th - Happy Birthday Wafi

Ahem..ahem..

Firstoff, Happy 25th Birthday to me. Not sure if I am getting older or younger. Age seems like just a number to me (nak sedapkan hati je ni).

I have to thanks so many people for wishing me my birthday and those people with effort to beautifulize my bday. Awwwwww! I cant thank you enough for that.

Now I would like to tell you the story that happened during my celebration day. Few months back, ive been told that there are going to be no celebration for me this year. And im fine with that. On my bday, most of my inner circle did not wish me, properly, at all. And before the school ends, we gathered in a room for bday wishes to another colleague whod shared the same bday date with me. I am still fine. No matter what. Well i wont request for that eh. Endup, dismissed and everyone seems to pack and "leave" to go back home.

Suddenly, one of my colleagues kinda asked me a favour to change her spare tyre on her car. So my pleasure to help until we reached the lobby, suddenly I was blindfolded, and being pushed in a car. Argh, i knew it! Miahaha. And they nailed that beautifully. So they drove the car for quite sometimes and we reached the location. Being dragged into a place which i dont know, and once they lift my blinder, VOILAHH we are all in a restaurant and suddenly theyve put a very large hat on my head with the theme from Alice in Wonderland and ive become the Mad Hatter. Some became the rabbit, the cat and theyve put the playing cards scatterly on the dining table. It was lovely and it was really a wonderland-like.

After few while, here comes the cake! It was a very huge-sized owl cake and we sang after, then weve cut it into tiny pieces. It was a very nice cake tho despite of fighting emotion of not cutting the owl because it was so damn beautiful and cute.

My friends prepared so many present for me and I felt pempered so much with whatever happening around. 1st present is a beautiful "music player" cap. 2nd present is two minions figurine. 3rd is a mix of owl stuff (calculator, passport cover) and Totoro stuff (VCD, keychain). 4th is a rattan stick (hehehe). 5th is a wonderful bagpack and an owl keychain on it, awwww. And not to forget, that ive recieved the most wonderful card ever as it is a custom-made card and it is so owlsomely beautiful.

The utmost special gift that ive ever recieved in my whole entire life is a video presentation for me, about me to be clear. And it was made by my fellow friends. After present-giving, all of us sitting at one side and they place a laptop at the center and we watched the video together. It was a compilation of my video together with all other teachers and after half of the video, ive broke into tears and i just couldnt hold it anymore longer. With audio effects of few songs make it even more harder to digest. After half of the video, there are the compilation of greeting wishes from my friends and to be honest, i couldnt read much im struggle with mixed feeling passing through the emotion. To see and real all of those beautiful messages had obviously touched my heart wholeheartedly. After the video ended, i turn my face around and ive seeb alot of people also shedding tears and it was a very very emotional moment for all of us. It was a total silent after the video and i couldnt thank the  enough for whatever they have done to me.

I have never thought that i have touched so many hearts and how close they can be to me whether they are my local friends or my foreigner friends. I felt showered and pempered by all of the things that they have done to me. I wish and i hope, our friendship will stay on forever, wherever i may go.

I bet, soon farewell will be the next emotional thing for me to get through but i will. I wish i could stay but i am still thinking and depending on God's fate now.

Well, shed the tears and hold my head up high. I should be proud that i am still given a chance to celebrate my 25th bday and showered with all the wonderful wishes from all my friends and families. God bless you guys!

Last but not least, HB Awafi!
