Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Only 4 more days to Hari Raya. I went to school this afternoon and found the office all nicely decorated to reflect the festive spirit.

I was just thinking . During the puasa month, Muslim teachers in Munshi must be having a harder time than those in other secondary schools. Especially those teaching in the afternoon session. I can imagine.....towards the end of the day - already hungry, thirsty and tired - and having to go inside those classes where the students are noisy, unruly and who do not want to study!!! Luckily school starts and ends earlier. :)

Speaking of fasting, I am a Catholic. In my religion (as with all religions), there are three things that need to be done - prayer, fasting and almsgiving. To me, almsgiving is the easiest and fasting the hardest - anyone noticed that I normally take leave on those days that I have to fast?? Like Ash Wednesday and Good Friday?? (^_^) (that's only 2 days in the year, mind you... compared to the entire month of Ramadhan...)

So here's wishing all my Muslim friends "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri".
I am sure everyone is looking forward to a nice, long break.....
To students who are going to sit for the PMR, SPM, and STPM....study hard!!!!

I'm back! :)

Hi there everyone. I am back. :)

When I retired on 8 August, I expected to have more time and write more things in my blog. But it's been one month and I have not written anything!

What did I do the entire month ? Well, I went to KL to view properties, then I returned to BP. I then flew to Penang and stayed there for a week - by the way, the food in Penang was heavenly. Then I flew to KL, and viewed more properties!!

While looking at the residential properties, I made good use of something which I learned during my working days to help me make decisions. So I armed myself with a notebook, and for every property I visited, I jotted down the Plus, Minus and Interesting points. After much consideration, I decided to buy a condominium at Riana Green, in Tropicana.

My point is, whatever we learn when we go out for courses can be applied to everyday life. And that's the reason why I continued to attend courses even though I was about to retire. Strategic Planning, Blue Ocean Strategy, Coaching and Mentoring, Data Driven Decision Making, etc... They call it "Lifelong Learning".

Once I have settled down in KL, I will definitely register for some courses - the first will be at the Centre of Modern Languages, Open University Malaysia.

I went to school last Thursday to sign some documents and a few teachers asked why I had stopped writing. Thanks guys for visiting my page - I was touched when you asked me that question. And I thought - out of sight, out of mind ?? (grin....)

Ciao.
