The Demise of a Wondrous Storyteller

Her hands spun invisible threads
Of fables and stories from everyone
While making it real, it became surreal
And spun the threads to be a carpet of lore
That's the miracle of the wondrous storyteller

Although fictitious as the stories be
When one catches a glimpse of her piece
It was more than that
More than art
More than a form
It became a song
Sung from the depths of hearts, entwined
In tune with the song of the world

That's the miracle of the wondrous storyteller

Alas, the Mighty One say
A rest I shall give to her
And He kisses her forehead
And she slept

Though the wondrous storyteller has gone
With the stars at night she shone
And her web of stories
Will continue to be her immortal legacy

-dedicated to the late Yasmin Ahmad, the wondrous storyteller who gave us Sepet, Gubra, Mukshin and lots of those unforgettable adverts that brings us both laughter and tears. Forever she will be my inspiration.

May her soul rests in peace.

Teacher = Superheroes

I often wonder how did my former teachers managed to teach and educate us and mold us to become the person that we are today. They sound like superhumans...Superman and Superwoman in their own right.

Being a teacher myself I just can't help but think of where I could get superpowers like my educators cum mentors. So one day, I stumbled upon this song by Five for Fighting entitled Superman. As I listened, I noticed that the song spoke to me...

Yes, we teachers are human after all, but super to our students.
I just hope that in a miniscule way, I might have inspired at least one of my students.

Let's sing this song together, all you Superheroes regardless of careers.

You are a hero to someone.

Which Celebrity I am Crushing?

Owhhhh c'monnnnnn....like you never had a celebrity crush whom you could oogle for days and just can't wait to go to sleep just to dream about them holding your hand, kissing your cheeks and perhaps more..haha...I can see you blushing..hehe...

If for one day (why does it have to be a day, not a month or a year or forever?) I can wake up next to my celebrity partner/husband/soulmate/anything in between, now who would it be? Well, since I am such a glutton, let me just "divide" my daydream to two halves; a local celeb and an international celeb. Hmmm...two is not enough...let's throw in a Korean hottie (I just can't put him to any categories cos he and his counterparts are in a class of their own..pure hotness!).

Okayyyyyy...here goes celebrity numero uno..*closing my eyes* 3..2..1...GO!!
(by the way, this is my local celeb daydream)
Henry "Hotstuff" Golding...*drools* a bit young tho' but who cares about age and stuffs, huh? The age factor is getting so old! If he is my boyfriend, I would bring him to the pasar malam just to show him off ngehehehehehehehehehe...

Okay, next celeb hottie is....closing my eyes...3,2....1!!
JIM CAVIEZEL!!!! I could just stare at his eyes all day...*melts*...and bring him to Servay Putatan just to show him off...hohohohoho...and imagine the long walks we'll take, the intimate discussion about life, love, etc...*exhaleeeeeeeeee*

Okay, moving on...

My Korean celeb crush is....
Lee Dong Wook...wah, cairrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Kamu tingu la muka malu-malu dia hehehehe cuteeeeee kan????

Yang ini di mana saja sia pigi, disitu ada beliau hehehe...digapit dan digapus 24 jam!!! LOL!!

hehehe...now I'm roaring to finish up my tasks...see ya!!

anything goes

I've been busy lately and thus the temporary abandonment of my blog. Been sick for some time and thank God, it's not the dreaded virus. Just a bout of work-related stress sickness. So today I am going to write whatever is in my mind as long as it's...hehe...I don't know. Now, some may think that I am on a high on cough syrup (seriously, it does make me kind of woozieee...and sleepy....and happy....) but who cares, I am going to nurture my writing talent and my bloggie.

There's a lot of changes in my life lately, I noticed that my students are beginning to miss their ol'jolly teacher...I wonder whether it's just hallucination or a surreal reality. When a Form One kid who always pester me met me at the staff room and asked where I've been, I just told him "Cikgu sibuk." When asked why he was nosing about my whereabout, his answer was "Tiadalah...Saya rindu sama cikgu". Hmmm...maybe I watched too much Hallmark.

Okay...I think that's my ramblings for today. Tomorrow's Monday and I wanted to savour Sunday till it's last minutes.

~~Terrah!!

I am inspired!!

I'm writing a song...it's been ringing and singing in my head...

it won't stop!!!!!!

The Day the World Stopped to mourn a Passing Star

His death brought the world to an abrupt halt
His memorial caught more attention than the deadly virus, economic downturn, war...
Yesterday was the day when the world stopped for a brief hour
His send-off was the most memorable, poignant, emotional
It breaks even the hardest of hearts
He was just another man in the mirror
But his contribution to the music world trancends barriers
He lived to faced judgment from those who can't understand
What it means to be unique

He is like a wishing star
Gone so soon and so far
Yet we all know that he is safe somewhere
In the hands of God, he rests

Rest in Peace, MJ

My First Sports Day

This is a year of "firsts" I think.
So, finally I got a taste of School Sports Day as the professional benchwarmer.

Not.

After four hot and rainy days, I'm officially sun-burnt and I can see myself as a sephia zebra cos I got a lot of stripes. Note to self: Invest in a good sunscreen...again.

Here are some pics taken during that day, and let them tell you the story...

My job was to manage the "kontinjen kawad". Man, it was so difficult just to get the kids to queue up.

Finally...berbaris juga kamu sanaaaa padang!!


Here's the teacher advisors and some students for our team - Team Kelisa! FYI only our team has matching t-shirts...woot woot!!

My teacher friends and I pun kena suru berbaris ikut budak...tiapalah hehehe

Run, Kelisa, RUN!!!!!

Here's some of the students...duduk2 tepi padang...

That's all I could capture...my digicam went out of batt the moment our team were crowned CHAMPIONS!!!!
