8 facts about me that you may do not know:

• I never dream to be a teacher

If you still remember, while in primary school we have to tell the teacher about our ambition. We need to list down 3 option each year, right? Well, teacher never get into my list. Among of my favourite job at that time was reporter, lawyer and architect.

• I’ve rejected my friend suggestion for me to be a teacher

While in form 5, I’ve had a discussion with my best friend about our future. My friend suggested me to become a teacher, she said I have the character of teacher. But I’ve told her that suggestion is completely out of mind. And I am not interested! Furthermore, I thought life as a teacher is boring.. I wanted to do something exciting and challenging..

• I don’t like kids before…

Why I don’t want to be a teacher? Because I don’t like kids.. And I think kids don’t like me too.. They cried each time I hold them.. But that was before.. I began to love them when I had to be around them in school.. At first it was kind of scary things to do, but now I am eager to see them each day.. Now, I also knew that the kids cried when I hold them because they felt insecure with me - the reason? I don’t like them..

• My first experience as a teacher in school

When I came back to Johor last year, I had difficulty finding job. Few of my friends are working as substitute teacher. Since I was desperately bored staying at home, I applied job as substitute teacher, thinking that it is only 2 months contract, and I can quit easily if I don’t like the job. Contrast to my belief since childhood, I enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge with others.

• I am not a trained teacher

I believe many of you are not aware of this. Practically, I don’t have license to teach, which means to some people I am not fit to be called cikgu or teacher. However, since I’ve taught children around my home, my neighbours called me cikgu And I must admit that I love it..

• I am pursuing studies in education

As you know, currently I am studying.. While many of you thought that I am doing my master, I’ve informed that I am doing an advanced diploma. Actually I am in Kursus Perguruan Lepas Ijazah (KPLI) - pursuing Diploma in Education, majoring in remedial for BM and Maths. I guess I am quite lucky because it took me only one application to get in the course..

• I am a choosy person when…

When we talked about career, jobs and work, I must admit that I am a choosy person.. Very choosy indeed.. The reason is quite simple: we are spending 1/3 of our life working.. So I must do something that I love and have great passion about it.. Some of my friends and family are not happy with my decision and principles. But I don’t think that bother me so much.. However, now I found something that I really love to do - sharing knowledge..

• I often turn to food as my friend..

Now you don’t have to ask why I’ve gained weight so much.. Food is my friend.. Whenever I am sad, stress, sick, angry or any other negative feelings, I usually turn to food as my soother friend.. I know that it is a bad habit, and I am trying to get rid of it.. Instead of turning to food, I began to turn in to my laptop..

I guess that is enough 8 facts about me.. Now, I am going to find another 8 blogger from CikguAzleen community to tag them to tell us their 8 facts..
