My Lil' Prayer

May I teach each student how
To live a better life
To face struggles as they come
And have hope in times of strife
For lessons are not just in a book
It’s not just what they know
It’s how to choose the proper path
That makes a child grow
Let me teach right from wrong
To see the beauty in each day
To understand eternal truth
To help light a child’s way
For if I help a student grow
In both wisdom and in heart
Then I will feel Your blessings
That I have done my part
I pray for your guidance O Lord
And that is all I ask
In building character and confidence
As I go about my task

-Amen-

QUE SERA SERA

Song : QUE SERA SERA


While im in da midst of marking legal essays, at times, I juz loose da guts. Wasn’t really pointing at studs, cuz it aint fair. I was once a stud. Studs are kids n kids are always kids. Got it?


U cant expect 'em 2 make no mistakes n really give u ‘feel-gud’ feeling when marking. Indeed u juz av to take it or leave it. U cant be an Oximoron, (niu vocab dat I learnt from my stud) a single person who enjoys two things in different. 4 example he enjoys teaching but hate marking. How possible is dat?


Wait, is dat da rite explanation wif da rite example, Justiny?


Occay, I’m currently in a bit of quandary, n I need ur help (nothing much really)


Da fact dat, I’ve got a message text from a friend asking whether I’m interested to be an IP (Intellectual Property) solicitor in one of da city chambers in Singapore. I know working abroad is sumting dat I really look forward to. But not Singapore, I guess =(


D day before da test, Aliff and I had a lunch @ AC. He sed dat da country’s happening-best rated radio station XXX.fm is recruiting new DJs and he strongly urged me to apply. He can see da potentials in me. Thanks dear. Da point is – WOW, being a DJ is sumting dat I never thot of b4. Am I day-dreaming or sumting? Mum will surely freak. Matilaaaaaaaaaaaa


Sumtimes (most of da times) I’ve been thinking is lecturing meant 2 b da job 4 me? Admitted, I enjoy it still but da future is still vague n ambiguous. Uncertainties lie everywhere. N I seriously dun know wat will happen next.


Heaven knows how much I hate dis kinda feeling



For dat I need a show of hands?


POLL: DO U HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT I SHALL PURSUIT LECTURING OR SHUD I JUZ QUIT?



Time tells. Leave ur opinion ere.

Never Too Late For A Valentines

Mode : Blissful

To some, I know valentines is sumting prohibitory and sensitive. I must say dat through out the years, I’ve been surrounded by peeps who regard dis as a taboo to be cherished and celebrated. I may not strictly categorise myself in dat stream as I know Valentines and Love are two different entities n shudnt be paired together. Hence, I never directly feel da warmth of valentines thru out dis years


Concomitantly, dis year seems a bit different. I have learnt dat love will never only between loving couples. It is to be shared by everyone on earth regardless of types of relationship they are bearing. The extremist’s assertion dat ‘valentines and love wud lead to one be sinful’ is entirely flaw. Love wud never be at wrong. It is pure, unconditional and sincere. Human are da ones who disdain da true meaning of luv, thus love shudnt be at fault and lowly.


Valentines thot me of nothing wrong being single. 14 February from now and onwards would also be known da ‘Single Awareness Day’ commemorating those who stay single on da day. So never afraid being single as its just a normal period one has to undergo in his/her circle of life. So be thankful and grateful as dere is still somebody out dere waiting for us - waiting to love you and to be loved by you. Hence enjoy while u r still single free from any attachment and commitment.


Enuff Zokhri, stop surmoning and just be straightforward, will ya?


Da fact dat, I had da most enjoyable valentines day (so far) in my life. Never thot a student-lecturer relationship has made our life in Taylor’s be so meaningful. N Im glad dat we’ve met and be gud companions. Da gifts are so sweet and forever will be remembered. I have allocated em on my desk, giving me ongoing signs of love u’ve shown. N allow me to share dis appreciation wif da rest of da readers, just to let em know how much u guys mean to me.


Da A.F.F.A valentine’s get-together was awesome. Yeah blatantly true, we screwed up da lovey-dovey ambience by bursting a big laugh with series of jokes and unaccidental clumsiness(es) (opsssssss sorry M) but it was hilarious. An uncontrollable furore. Damn funny and full of joy. Love A.F.F.A. legion so much and thanking them for a wonderful perfect evening. We shud do it more often.

An Valentine Evening with A.F.F.A

- Where everything begins - We decided to go back to our roots ... Yeah Malaysia Truly Asia

As da look suggests, da meal was such a mouth-watering delicacy

Tried to be "La La" but da others mistakenly thot we are in 'de facto' relationship. I mean the G word LOL

I told ya, didnt I? My stud is str8. Normal I think. -guffawing- Auwwwwwwwwww arent they sweet? I am sending my blessings and support 2 both

My God. Wat Justin has made me? It was so not me. Trust me I can be more decent than this

Auwwwwwww. another sweet couple of A.F.F.A but they were just denying it. Well, pic speaks a thousand words, innit?

If i can reckon well, presenting you 'Ayam Bimbu' a traditional cuisine from Bali. Its worth paying for such a big portion of meal like dis.

May God bless us and guide our legion of frenship. Wherever we go, pursuing our dreams and aims, our memories stay - fondly in our hearts and minds

Your self-appointed patron, (LOL)

Am I Worth Nothing To You ?

Current Mode : Disappointed
Song : 4 in the morning (Gwen Stefani)


Wat wud u feel whilst lecturing all out, students make joke and burst into a laugh?

Wat wud u think when they were laughing out loud while u were explaining sumting priceless?

Am I standing as a joker? Making stupid and dirty jokes to all? Dat I'll be paid for entertaining and reverencing my audience.

For God's Sake, I'm delivering knowledge. A piece of a promising failure you would inherit.


Hence,


Do I deserve to be treated like dis?

Do I deserve for such kind of humiliation and disdain?

Is dis the way to return for all the kindness and unconditional concerns I have shown?

Is dis da price u paid for everything I have done?

If its no, why r u doing dis 2 me?

I am just an ordinary Zokhri, an ordinary human being leading to an ordinary life.

I had once, put my sole trust on u, believing dat u gonna change and be a better man. Through my deepest despondency, I' ve realised by putting my unquestionable trust on you was the biggest mistake ever I had made. I was very wrong from the start


*sobbing*


*sobbing*


Admitted, I am not as experienced as other lecturers, and Legal Studies is so much mundane 2 compare wif others.. I av nothing to offer neither does my subject. NIL. All I cud give is a loving care and teaching, raised sincerely from the bottom of my profoundest broken heart. For unconditional love and knowledge is the only thing dat I have.


" and U know I give U all of me
I give U everything that I am
I'm handling over everything that I've got
cuz I want to make it worth da fight "


With all of my shattered heart and despair,


" Am I worth nothing in your life? "

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.

I received sum personal request, asking me to provide da lyrics for the songs played, due to its soul-wrecking and mersmerised rendition.

Credit to punkd1 for an excellent piece of work. Bravo dude. Ur ***** song, indeed, has attracted the ears of my studs to visit and listen to dis blog.

And I thank you for dat. I pray dat God will keep on sending His inspiration to u, allowing u to produce more dis kinda like.



PUNKD1 BEAUTIFUL LYRICS


I dont know
If I am the one for you in this life
I cant help
Hearing my voice calling your name
Cuz when I
Trying so hard not to look in your eyes
Maybe I
Have fallen in love with you



Well tonight
Maybe this time I can hear you breathe
Its alive
To see you smile with those tears in your eyes
They may say
That you're just a girl in this spinning world
In my heart
You're like the world to me



Chorus: I cant so describe
How I'm feeling deep inside
So much more than I can say
With your touch it feels so right
Oh my, you're so near
All the time in this place
For I know in my heart
I will never let you go
In this lifetime
Do you know why, oh baby
Cause youre just so Beautiful to me
Touch my hand; feel my heart
Hold me close and You'll find me
You'll find me

A Letter 2 My Studs

My dearest L2, L3 and P3,

I know dis wud be already outdated, really late in fact, but isn’t it dat its never too late for a wish? First and foremost, allow me, again, to welcome you to Taylor’s Legal Studies. U had made, I believe, a gud decision, embarking your future career’s path and in choosing a course in uni. (macam provost punyer speech laaa plak) lol


I wud not refute shud one claim da difficulty of da course. Blatantly true, its quite tough 4 first timers. And honestly, I am not an exception. A British-educated-law-graduate even, would still find it hard cuz Legal Studies offers a different spectrum for one to digest. But believe you me, with God’s help and His Mercy together with our self-determination we are able to make dis thru.


Our constitutional rule of law is simple – ‘love and respect’ yet meaningful to da minds and hearts. In fact, everyone breathing on dis mortal earth needs to be respected and to be loved. And so does our class. Lets create an enjoyable learning, full of fun and laughs. Let dere be no prejudice, hatredness and double-standard amongst us. Above all, we are just human in the eyes of God. We made mistakes and flaws but sumhow we learn sumting from them in da end. We are all an adult, wished to be treated as one.


Learning dat we are now approaching da fourth week of learning and teaching, undeniably, da stress has start kicking off. In fact, it has mounting up high to sum of you, leading to a feeling of ungrateful for enduring the course. And dat feeling is – regret. But guys, life offers no regret. Even how bad we’ve screwed up or how wrong da decision we took, we vow not to surrender till the day we leave dis world. There always be a wisdom behind everything dat human must embrace. Behind all mistakes and wrongs, dere lies God’s grace for us to grab.


Lets create our 11-month-stay in taylor’s a truly remarkable moment. So dat when we end up our life with success and glory, we will bump to each other and greet, ‘hey we are from taylors.’ Even to da furthest destination the destiny has brought us apart, da presence will always be felt in the hearts. But guys, I cant do it alone, by myself.


I need you. U might not think dat, despite having an awful day in college –teaching, marking, and meeting, (bla bla bla and da list goes on) u always be da reason why im still surviving in taylors. Ur happiness and warmth smile be da inner strength dat drives my passion to keep on doing what I am supposed to do. Without ur support and guidance, I am nobody. =(


So please dun leave me alone. I need u guys to help me to assist you. Did not we promise to each other to help ourselves n da rest in da name of success? Cuz we are like one big happy family – sharing and putting concerns more than we do to ourselves. And sumone has reminded me that – success isn’t about studying its about bonding. How true. So lets make dis happen 2gether, shall we?


Hence team,


Its not only a burdensome to you, its killing me as well. Slowly and silently. But so long we got each other standing at our sides, bring any storm or wind, we stand together still, holding our hands, firming our hearts and FIGHT. We can do this together guys, trust me. All we need is a teamwork and mutual understanding. Da rest is up to Him.


Last but not least, albeit to sum up – as I always say to myself , “ da only reason why we still keep on living is becuz we are still fighting” and we will keep on fighting till the day we finally close our eyes … for an everlasting happiness in the hereafter.



Lets Make Dis Happen, Guys
