Outspoken students made it clear for me on what to change for the better according to their needs.

I need to be more hardworking in double, triple, quadruple checking on things for my lesson plans.

I start my day as early as 5AM and walk out of the house at 6AM to catch the first train from the Ampang line. I met with my partner Pipi before driving together to the school. The route wasn't as far but it was very unfamiliar to the both of us. Doubts, confusion and wrong turns were made again again, but Alhamdulillah we arrived at 7:05AM and was welcomed by the Pengetua with open arms and sincerity.

Our business was done before afternoon; thanks to our easy going mentor and friendly colleagues. Two of them were alumni of UPTM and its good to know that we are not alone. Being on the stage during the morning assembly instead of the other side was like a slap of reality to the face. Here we are, actual teachers with a name tags on our chest, toes in heels, book clutched in arms and brain buffering as new knowledge loading into our brain.

Today I woke up at 5:30AM and walk out of the house with calmness. We get a better route and is getting familiar to the Segambut area.

I got a lot of relief classes as I do not have any class of my own today. but it was nothing I couldn't handle. But having no ringing bell to indicate the end of a period still messed up with my timing but I make due just fine. Ask the student anything and they will gladly help.

I used my time to print out the name list for each classes, try to memorise their names and finish all lesson plans for the whole week. I promise to do better then I did during diploma!

I start teaching today - Form 4 Al Razi and 1 Ibnu Rusyd. The insight given by my mentor was a lot but it was not enough to prepare me for the actual teaching.

4A was a new experience as I have never involve myself with the syllabus. My mentor was satisfied with my lesson plan, impressed even and it got me in a good mood all morning. The students were a little passive and shy, perhaps because they were only 14 of them. Despite the silence, they participate actively during the activity and exercise. Clever students, all of them! But a 7:30 class was hard to entertain and deny sleepiness.

1R though...I regret leaving my water bottle. My mouth were dry, sore and my head was spinning. They were barely 20 of them and they are already such a handful. Proficiency levels were mixed but they all equally participated. Need a lot of verbal supports such as affirmation every time they did something. Such appreciative little bunch.

# data[].attributes.body
I started navigating my activities with 1R just to see how it goes. Did I handled it well? Not really.

I did not double check the instructions, the items needed and the proficiency of the teaching aids. I believed I handled it well because the outcome were as expected, the success criteria were reached and students eventually grasped the full idea of the activity.

Third day and the first day of co-curricular. We already got the hang of our way here however the way back has set us back financially. It was painful everytime our TnG card touches the toll scanner. We got lost and just followed whatever ways, Waze gave us.

Enough with woes, the co-curricular activities were exellent. I enjoyed getting to know more students, teachers and I got to relive my favourite sport - petanque. Though I was put under the hockey club, the court were right next to each other.

We were told that the school is almost done with co-cu activities so we didn't have the chance to join much. But we make do and try to get involve as much as possible. The first week is almost over and we are familiarising ourselves better than expected.

I was in-charged of observing my own 4M class at the surau because they were punished for having the dirtiest class of the week before. Hence, I got to explore more parts of the school.

My 4M students talk a lot more compared to other classes and really made me feel welcome. It wasn't hard to connect with them and they truly boosted my spirit to come to school everyday.

moreover, we got our first co-curricular activity duty! I must admit how responsible the students are at providing for themselves. All we did was make sure everyone is in one place, took their attendance and they are off to their usual activity.

# data[].attributes.body
I am starting to feel exhausted! I cant seem to wake up with ease and I feel like crying thinking that I have to function highly bright early in the morning.

Perhaps it was the co-curricular activity taking a toll on me First time going back home late and due to heavy traffick, we arrived home at almost 7pm. I lost track of what to do, what to eat and what to feel - I just wanted sleep!

But I pushed through and need up with three lesson plans and a simple meal before going to bed as early as 10.30p.m. praying hard for myself right now huhu :(

# data[].attributes.body
To apply the practice of doing better for activity, I did it with 4M. Like I said, they are more sociable and love activities!

The instructions were crystal clear, I triple checked the teaching aids AND provided more than enough items that my students might need. That has save a lot of time from their part and I really, really, really got to finish my whole lesson!

I am so proud of myself that I keep praising and talking about it non-stop to Pipi...and my sisters and my mama and in this journal...hehe.

Finally it's Friday! The earlier we got to go home, the longer the day felt. I ran out of energy even before my class even started.

The students were considerate though. They became calmer, more respectful and actually listens to me. The 4A class actually opened up compared to when I first came into their class on Tuesday.

They said that "It was too early and you seem fierce with your red hijab and lipstick on," and it genuinely made me smiled. Well, t's only the first day so...15 more weeks to go!

# data[].attributes.body
4A got a more advanced activity, why? Because I took time laying down different proficiency and needs of the students! Also there is only 14 of them so I got to assess them easier.

Gallery walk was fun but they somehow hesitated in giving feedbacks to other group's work. I consulted with my mentor and came up with solution of providing vocabularies and phrases for them first before comment session.

I hope I can add that for the next lesson and see the difference. Everyday is a learning day right?

# data[].attributes.body
Strength:

I am getting good at this teaching thing. Confidence in presenting and establishing class rules are very helpful.

Weakness:

Still struggled with my LP especially for form 1 because their grammar elements requires a lot of talking and predictions.

We got our first meeting under BI Panitia and it is about the Jejak Juara competition held annually. It carries all kinds of competition and it is something really big apparently.

Pipi and I are in-charged of the editing team with two form 3 students...I had a feeling that we won't be as big of a help cause these kids are too good with their fancy apps on their Ipad and mics and AI tools.

It was a little bit of a shocker how SEJAYA has made a name for themselves among the participants every year. This year they aimed for the second place and I wish them good luck!

Alhamdulillah the ASEAN Summit thing is over, if not we would have to take the toll route. The day started okay for me but I can see the nervous looks on the students' face.

Today is the first day of exam for the lower forms and Pipi and I are also preparing on facing it. It's finally our turn to hand out the papers, establish the rules and make sure the students are at ease of answering their paper.

My form 4 still go their Ujian Bertutur BM and they salam my hand, asking for prayers and blessings and it touched my heart that created a core memory as a teacher.

I wish all the kids all the best <3

Everyone- minus the male teachers (boring~) did not participate in wearing pink for the day. But its so cute how everyone is wearing the same cute colour!

The students wondered, they thought they were tripping or that the teachers somehow got hive mind and wanted to do things together. I get to educate a little about breast cancer awareness month to my students (form 4 as their exam haven't started yet) and I am glad to say that they are more informative than I expected.

Truly feeling proud of them.

How lucky I am to be part of AIC 3.0 UPTM 2025 under Majlis Apresiasi Siswa. This is my first, last and only leave from school I would ever taken.

3.82 was crazy! 5 subject to score during Ramadhan got me crying most nights but here I am. So worth it!

# data[].attributes.body
Though it was fun to escape the chaos of school and have a whole day to myself, I missed my students, and they missed me.

I had to hold back my tears when I was surrounded by them, panic asking where I was the day before. They thought I already left and insist to take a lot of pictures together, boys and girls.

They are too sweet and my heart just cant take it! I was glad that I got to brief them on their upcoming examination though. I hope they are fully prepared for this.

Pipi and I had to attend the extra class under English panitia. We were worried as we thought it was only the two of us who had to handle all 68 form 3 students.

But the GK HEM - Pn. Azma as well as a fellow form 3 teacher, Zu were there to supervise us!

Due to the ASEAN Summit, we had to use toll roads but it was worth while as the activities held was celebrated well by the students.

Strength:

I get to experience the feeling of sacrificing my free time for students.

Weakness:

The laziness hits when I have to get up early on a Saturday.

Opportunity:

Everything is possible with students' smiles and Pipi positivism!

Threat:

The unfamiliarity of form 3 topics and learning focus.
