Someone once said the rain always brings sadness

Of the many grievances I went through today, the most hurtful would be learning that my favourite teacher passed away at 2am last night. And the rain started pouring shortly after the SMS came through...

He taught me maths in Year4, made hockey my number 1 love, gave us car rides in his trusty gold proton (DR XXXX - ajah u remember?) practically every day because we're such spoilt girls who didnt wanna go on the school bus because it's just not as cool - yeah private ride home on a teacher's car meant a different social status for 12-year-olds ok?, bought us mcdonalds (a higher social hierarchy for this, like yours truly aha...), and he was the only man who could make me run 7 rounds with my goalkeeper pads under the sweltering sun.

Yet all I did after I left primary school was call him once on teacher's day in 2008. My only phone call to him. Once. Just once. He still remembered me despite the non-contact of 15 years.

I wanted to visit him every raya. I didn't.

I really wanted to visit him last raya. I didn't.

And now he's gone.

Al-Fatihah to Allahyarham Sir Mahisham Mahmood... His passing is a great loss to all of us ZS girls.

An update at 2am, March 25 - 24 hours of Sir Mahisham's demise



I read Ajah's blog after I updated mine, and only then that I learnt that Sir has been really sick all these while. I thought he only had diabetic issues. Sir went back to school for his Degree and earned himself an Honour roll. I called Ajah crying really hard, feeling like an arse for not being in touch as often as I should. Apparently there were times when he was wheelchair-bound, and when he's back on his feet again he would go back to teaching. Sir was like a real father to me back then as I didn't stay with ayah for 2 years. i believe he was one to all of us girls. To the rest of you, try Googling 'Mahisham Mahmood' and you will find many an entry dedicated to him, showing how much he was (and still is) loved by his students. Here, I share with you why we're very proud of him:

Penyakit saraf tak halang Mahisham jadi graduan terbaik OUM




KUALA LUMPUR 16 Dis. – Walaupun menghidap penyakit saraf yang menyebabkan sebahagian anggota badannya lumpuh, Mahisham Mahmood hari ini membuktikan ia bukan penghalang untuk beliau muncul antara graduan terbaik Universiti Terbuka Malaysia (OUM).
Lebih membanggakan Mahisham, 44, lulusan Sarjana Muda Pengajaran Bahasa Inggeris Sebagai Bahasa Kedua, mencapai kejayaan berganda apabila dinobatkan sebagai penerima anugerah Hadiah Buku Universiti.

‘‘Walaupun lebih kurang setahun saya tak dapat menghadirkan diri (ke kelas) sebab kecederaan tulang belakang dan penyakit saraf, tetapi dengan menggunakan cara pembelajaran terkini secara dalam talian, Alhamdulillah, saya berjaya ke tahap ini,’’ katanya ketika ditemui Bernama pada majlis Konvokesyen OUM, di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC) di sini hari ini.
Mahisham lulus dengan cemerlang walaupun terpaksa berulang-alik dari hospital dan melaksanakan tugasan beliau sepenuhnya di atas katil kerana penyakitnya.
Mahisham yang kini mengajar di Sekolah Kebangsaan Warkah Baru, Kelantan, berkata ibunya juga antara faktor pendorong kejayaannya.

‘‘Selain daripada sambung belajar, saya juga memenuhi hasrat ibu yang mahu melihat anaknya mengambil ijazah kerana sebelum ini ibu saya tidak dapat menghadirkan diri pada konvokesyen adik saya di Amerika Syarikat,’’ katanya.

Ibu Mahisham, Maimun Abdullah, 72, yang hadir pada majlis itu berkata, beliau bersyukur terhadap kejayaan anaknya.

Pada majlis yang sama, tiga tokoh dianugerahkan Ijazah Kehormat. Ijazah Kehormat Doktor Pengurusan dianugerahkan kepada bekas naib canselor Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Tan Sri Dr. Abu Hassan Othman manakala Ijazah Kehormat Doktor Sains masing-masing diberikan kepada Tan Sri Dr. Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim, pengerusi Bank Rakyat dan bekas penasihat sains kepada Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Dr. Ahmad Zaharudin Idrus. Anugerah itu disampaikan oleh Pro-Canselor OUM, Tan Sri Azman Hashim.

For the record, Sir Mahisham was a state hockey player in his youth but had to quit due to knee injuries. He continued to pass on his hockey legacy to his students and I believe that the passion rubbed on us hard. If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't have been the hockey in us. Plus, he spoke excellent English. That's really something for a primary school teacher.

on a rebound or moving on?

some things are so hard to decipher that they make you over analyse. obsessive analysis disorder. sometimes you tell yourself perhaps this is just a dip and you'll go up the incline very soon.

i hope i'm not on rebound mode. but then again, my past has moved on so why shouldn't i eh?

(and i so know no one will post any comment because this is so dry - like my current job. bleuurrgghhh)

call me moody. like I care.

I just don't belive in happiness anymore. It is to me, life's way of mocking us. If you think you're happy then screw you.

Why my phone was smashed on the wall and lying in pieces now

Because close to 10 years ago I made the mistake of being a good listener. Period.

Someone once said I like 'cheap thrills'

Premis 1: Saya menjadi seorang yg sgt gembira apabila mendapat bargain.
Premis 2: Skinny jeans yang dibeli tadi adalah total bargain (~RM33 je okeh?)

Kesimpulan: Saya adalah seorang yang sangat gembira.

FINE, I DIDN'T GO TO THE GYM LAST NITE SO WHAT SAY YOU???

What you can deduce from the above:

1. I am that old. In my days of the yonder years, maths and science were taught in Bahasa Malaysia. And there were also confusing times where some years 'BM' was 'Bahasa Malaysia' and the others 'Bahasa Melayu', and they kept interchanging. Maybe the then 'Menteri Pendidikan' wasn't as smart as the current 'Menteri Pelajaran'. Hey, anyone care to enlighten me on this?
2. I suck at discrete maths. Hence my many episodes of meniru lab Hajime (cue - lagu 'Masihkah kau Ingat' for Hajime)
3. I am easily excitable. I am also very gullible. I am, what you call the 'market'.
4. I live in denial. Always thinking that tomorrow I'm going to burn away my breakfast pau(s).
5. I. Writers. Block. Ahh. No.

Janji tau?

Esok musti pergi senam.

Must pack gym bag tonite.

Tunggu lah 1o menet lagi.

wish me luck people. if you recall, i tend to be a bit of a drama queen at the gym.

perlu ke sampai macam ni?

sabtu - standby kena pegi opis. tak kena panggil pun. yeahhh a free weekend at last!

ahad - bangun pagi (memang pagi okeh, 6.30am tau) dapat sms bos (yg dia hantar pukul 3 pagi) suruh masuk opis lepas lunch. lepas tu kena la pegi kan.... tapi sampai opis hati macam dah start bengkak sebab rasanya keja ni buat esok pun boleh.

isnin - pagi2 dah naik hangin satu badan dgn bos. bukan bos yang mengamuk, terbalik pulak. hahaha....hebat bukan? nasib baik bos panggil slow talk. saya berperasaan harus berjaga2 sebab tempat keja baru ni nampak gaya masing2 jaga sendiri punya 'bum bum bum'. lepas tu ding-dong-ding-dong buat keja sampai kena stay kat ofis sampai malam. balik mandi tido.

selasa, 4am - tada! terjaga tiba2 dengan mimpi ngeri gua nampak proposal yg tengah buat tu dengan muka bos-bos melayang-layang sambil berpusing ala2 somersault berputar. no joke okay????????

lepas tu dah tak boleh tido.

lepas tu perut jadi lapar.

lepas tu turun bawah nak makan cereal.

lepas tu nampak daging masak kicap ada lagi dalam periuk.

lepas tu jumpa nasik dalam periuk (nasik).

lepas tu terus masuk auto-pilot mode > amik sudu, mangkuk, senduk nasik, senduk lauk, makan. tambah nasik. tambah lauk. nyam nyam nyam.

sekarang kenyang tapi kejap lagi adalah masa untuk kembali ke opis dan sesi balik lambat lagi. dah la hari ini memang dah konfem kena balik tgh malam. esok pon sama. penatlah keja. penat penat penat.

so if you are reading this, I plead for your sympathy and call me for that mall guide gig. no worries, i think i can recruit a bigger team in no time should demands come pouring in. thank you.

p/s: sekarang pukul 5.40 pagi. mau tido balik ke tak mau? ah alamak. perut meragam pulak....
