The Ambitious Violet...

7.9.08 Edit This 0 Comments »

I've come across many works of Kahlil Gibran which are superb, and this is one of them...it's rather long, so i'm gonna summarise the story a little...

It's about a voilet who longs to be a rose just for a day as according to her... "Nature has fashioned me to be short and poor. I live very close to the earth and I cannot raise my head toward the blue Sky, or turn my face to the sun, as the roses do."

And so she did become a rose...unfortunately, there was great storm and wind which destroyed all the tall plants, including the rose...and while the other violets scorned the converted violet(the rose)...the dying rose quietly said..."I am happy now because I have probed outside my little world into the mystery of the Universe.. something which you have not yet done."

The rose became silent for a moment, and in a weakening voice, mingled with pride and achievement, she said, "I have lived one hour as a proud rose; I have existed for a time like a queen; I have looked at the Universe from behind the eyes of the rose; I have heard the whisper of the firmament through the ears of the rose and touched the folds of Light's garment with rose petals. Is there any here who can claim such honor?" Having this spoken, she lowered her head, and with a choking voice she gasped, "I shall die now, for my soul has attained its goal. I have finally extended my knowledge to a world beyond the narrow cavern of my birth. This is the design of Life....This is the secret of Existence." Then the rose quivered, slowly folded her petals, and breathed her last with a heavenly smile upon her lips... a smile of fulfillment of hope and purpose in Life... a smile of victory... a GOD'S SMILE.

You should read the whole story and i assure you it's worth the read...it is very meaningful and the language is beautiful...so enjoy!

Like Gee, I am also gonna do the 2nd part of the the Tagged...so here it goes...

5 Bad Habits During School...

1. Daydream...hehe...i simply lurve to do that! and esp when it comes to subjects i loathed...like History and Physics...i was even caught many times doing so..;-)

2. a few times i had bets with my classmates on who will score higher for arab exam and won the bets after copying in the tests(very bad i know, but i swear that's the ONLY test in which i've cheated on...after all it's only Arab;)..so my students, pls pls pls never do this! )...oh did i mention i didnt pass those papers? well as long as i won the bet, i was happy enough...coz the bets include KFC, and in kluang at that time, KFC was considered a luxury food....pathetic huh!

3. i used to copy my friends' add maths homework coz i never did like doing it....can never solve the mathematical problems on my own...so i believe you guys know what kind of marks i got for my add maths...

4. i can never do well in the subject whereby the teachers were very nice and lenient...i dont take them seriously...but when it comes to teachers who had this no-nonsense attitude, i'd definitely excel in it...like geography...lurve cikgu marmining...

5. i didn't normally do my journal, but hehehe..since i happened to be my teacher's pet(i think so!) at that time, i managed to get away from 'kena rotan'...see, at those days, we don't go running to our parents when we get punished but these days....kids r just too pampered! i was just back home last weekend for first ramadhan and all my siblings were there, and zafeer(my nephew) told his nani(my mom) that he was pinched by his teacher and everyone got so worked up and since i'm the only teacher there, all eyes were on me asking me why is that so... hello people! stop being too protective of your kids....

3 Fave Subjects

The ultimate would definitely be ... English! Thanks to Ms. Asha Dass, Pn. Rahmah(who has done much researches on journal writing to improve English and her classes goes beyond the four walls), Mr. Ali Azizan( who asked(or rather forced) us to write journals). These were some interesting teachers...really had fun in the classes! oh how could i forget the dreaded 'news item' in Mr. Paul's class...but still...it made me read the newspaper!!!

No 2 goes to ... Education Psychology...it's intriguing...and very much applicable to my field...and the easiest for me to remember...

Hmmm...3rd would be Literature...and ONLY Shakespeare during those TESL days. Plays and short stories were much better than poems...however, there were some poets whom i particularly love...John Donne and George Herbert among others...

others include Drama, Methodology in Education, Grammar in English, English For Specific Purposes (ESP)

3 Subjects You dislike

wow, i believe this will have a long list, but i'm just gonna stick to 3...

1. HIStory, never liked this no matter what people say! too much things to remember....didn't like the teacher too...intimidating!

2. Chemistry....again when i went to upper secondary, the same teacher who taught me History was teaching me Chemistry...it was like revisiting the horrifying past...only now after being a die-hard fan of CSI did i discover the beauty of chemistry...why didnt they hv CSI then....*sigh*

3. Moral Education...went through 4 years learning this and yet failed to love it...gud enough i'm not teaching it any longer....



What's Interesting about You...

gosh...it's really difficult to write abt oneself...well for me at least...hmmm
i guess ability to compromise and tolerate ppl though sometimes it kills me...

What You like Most...

DIY stuff...and readinggggggggggg.............and coffee..........and above all...CHOCOLATES!!!

I Can't Live Without...

My Family,Chocolates, Coffee

Every Night Before You sleep, You Would Call...

The One and Only who knows my innermost thoughts and whispers of my heart...
