Dreams are possible when you believe in it!!! :)


Finally I am back on track, after a one year hiatus....I found my way back to where I left off...
Apart from the spiritual side which I have serve to change for the better, but let's face reality...the human inside me and the GOD that I'm still trying to find my relationship with, will continue to be my biggest battle...


Having said that, I have been given a calling...and I really want to share my dream with those who can understand the reason for it!!!! Before I continue, let me greet you from Sydney, Australia where I am now based at.


The view is magnificent from where I was... continuously inspiring me to remember what and how I will eventually get to the top, right above but not because of my quest in being an achiever but for humanity sake and for a more higher cause. I knew it all along, that I would eventually be a teacher. Having said that, I needed to also know what kind of a teacher I would want to be?? I will not have that opportunity to be the teacher which I vision myself if I don't succeed in being taught by what I consider the best teachers out there.

Hence, the prayer which I made, did wonders when I was offered by the universities which I have applied too and everyone gave me a positive response and it was sign to show that I do have what it takes to make my dreams alive!!! It was a sign to show that a higher calling "GOD" had answered to my prayers and tell me to go on with what I dreamt to do.

However, I really feel for my people back in Malaysia especially the students which I have taught. The sad reality has made their education system stumble to such a degrading outcome, it's impossible to even imagine what's left of the next generation. The last straw was when they make it compulsory that Science and Mathematics subjects being switch back to Bahasa ( Malay language). Honestly, what are they thinking??? I am not going to even go into there, for the frustrations and the reality have already been pointed out clearly that if you take things to light, will not get anywhere. Thus, you work within yourself and silence is golden until action is delivered to make things happen!


For a teacher, it is very depressing when students who work amazingly hard, delivers good results and yet, not given the spot they deserve in universities. It is truly disheartening and the worse thing about being that teacher to those students, you virtually feel the pain and anguish they have suffered because you are virtually experiencing it yourself. The motivation has only come to a road block and hence, you start reflecting upon yourself what have you/they done wrong??Or rather, what can you do that may possibly provide a solution perhaps, in future?

Having said that, the passion of being a teacher. The desire of hoping that someday Malaysian students will be given the opportunity they deserve. The chance to just have good quality education with a fair system behind. Until then, as the saying goes, this can only happen when we help ourselves before we help others around us. I am not afraid of what I need to encounter to make this dream happen, the project to build smart/IB schools in Malaysia.

Thus, only education can be the frontier to enable our generation to move on well. We only can part the right knowledge, the truth and good quality education should always be given to students to excel and to live what they deserve if they work hard and strived for it. We only seek justice in light for those deserving and equal opportunity should always be given to all, these are basic human rights which is understood but not adopted. How frustrating, and how sad!!



I will need the support from those who can contribute, from friends around the world whom have that similar understanding when the time comes.Until then, I had better reflect within myself and do whatever I should be doing first, to get to where I can be. However, I truly thank GOD for the amazing family support I have from the mom and brother I love most. They truly went through a lot in life, they inspire me tremendously, and at this stage I am nowhere near my goals yet, but I do know that it is a blessing to just have such love and support from my family. It is already a small success just having that alone and I am truly thankful!


Leaving comfort for uncertainty, leaving luxury for poverty (ok that's exaggerated LOL) but whatever it is, I am motivated to do whatever I can to ensure that one day, those students which I had taught be proud and know that their "Teacher" did not fail them. We can't get what we want sometimes, not within our power and control. But, we must not give up and should always strive to improve even though the boundaries are difficult and yet noone can stop our spirits from fighting. Making us stronger, wiser and more human :)
