Rayner's Shutter Corner: A tribute to Cikgu Julianah

Work. Work. And more work. Perhaps it's obvious that as teachers, the months of July through to November are months when the workload seems to piled up than usual. With the major exams commencing in a couple of weeks time (for the UPSR) and a couple of months time (for PMR and SPM), efforts have been fully utilised to help prepare the pupils for the examination. Being a primary school teacher, I also share the pie of being fully occupied with extra tuitions, motivational camps, UPSR workshop and many more activities which were meant to prepare my pupils for the examination. All and all, time seems to fly. In three weeks time my pupils will be sitting for their UPSR. All the best to them.

Haven't really got the chance to update things here as I've been fully occupied. Plus, at where I'm teaching there's no internet connection. Nothing much happen since my last updating, but I would like to start with the 'Majlis Perpisahan Sempena Persaraan' for Cikgu Julianah Emot, whom we fondly address as Cikgu Ju. Cikgu Ju is one of the staff at the school where I'm teaching, so since her retirement date was on the 26th of July 2009, we held a moderate but merry parting reception for her on the 23rd of July. The whole event was touching yet joyous. All her family members were present as well. After the formals in which speeches were made and gifts were presented, the whole event moved on into a more free flow atmosphere. We had barbeques, dancing, karaoke singing and not to forget a bit of beer drinking. Had a really great time. Wishing Cikgu Ju lots of happy years ahead and thanks for all the memories.

Here are some photos of the reception (Thanks Haddy for helping out)
