Dear students,
I could imagine from afar that some of you were jubilant the moment you open the result slip. But not to forget some of you also start weeping inside for failing to hit your target. Until now, i don't have actual number of passing percentage or the number of students securing A for English paper. But it is learnt that you have shown marked improvement compared to the trial where it registered around 65% passed. You deserve a pat on your back! We , Sir and Miss could play our roles teaching and guiding or even goading you all but in the end you yourself pouring out what is in store in your head to produce the best you could.
Thank God as I do know from Miss Farah that two of you struck straight As. They are no other than Ayatullah and his love bird. What a great coincidence!The rest i am pretty sure will be around 5 to 8 As. Those getting lower than that should also be grateful as you have already gave your all. This time you learn how to bounce back stronger to prepare yourself for the most important exam during schooling years that is SPM.
After all, what matters most is we learn a thing or two everyday!
Sir

THE PARADOX IN KATHERINE'S DISCOVERY
Dear students,
Here is an excerpt from the latest work of Dan Brown in his newest novel , The Lost Symbol;
"Katerine had created beautifully symmetrical ice crystals by sending loving thoughts to a glass of water as it froze . Incredibly , the converse was also true: when she sent negative ,polluting thoughts to the water, the ice crystals froze in chaotic , fractured forms. Human thought can literally transform the physical world' .. the mind had the ability to alter the state of matter itself,and, more important , the mind had the power to encourage the physical world to move in a specific direction. We are the masters of our own universe.
Mr Brown! where is God then if we are the master of the universe / our own universe?
You are correct when you did mention the power of mind like what practiced by Yoga practitioners who could even stop the surging fountain or raging waterfall using power of thought. Research findings also prove that water molecules were in chaotic form when the rock music is played next to it. Interestingly, there was also beautiful arrangement of water molecules while being surrounded by soothing music or being chanted soothing words onto it.
That is what i could share after 10% reading of the novel. I will insert some other new found insights when i come across any.
Reading is the way to heaven. My message, in conjunction with the date of the release of PMR result is read a lot as you have nothing to lose but gain a lot from it.

JUST AN OUNCE OF FLAVOUR
Dear students,
Now, we are short of three days before we gather at the place where 'knowing' is either a real joy or misery. To us, who partly have guided you all this while,we have actually cherished the sweet moments since the time we set foot in your class on the very first days teaching you all. This Thusday is just to add more sweet flavor though it might turn bitterer. For me, sweet and bitter is a mixture without which one we can't have a real taste of pure flavour.
I can't wait to taste an extra ounce of flavor as it feels like short of sugar now. Or it needs extra ounce of salt to make it a pure mixture.
Whatever outcomes, it is always a journey and endless journey to see Him with pure heart.

THE BUTTERFLIES ARE ABOUT TO COME OUT
Yes! as we all know it, the PMR result will be released this December 24. We are all by now should feel nervous or as Sir Yusri put it 'feeling the wings of butterflies in our stomach'. Some of you have worked the best you could and there is nothing that we can do at the moment except praying and hoping that we will get what we deserve. Someone told me that his aim is to get 2As in the PMR. Well, there is certainly no wrong in aiming for something that we know we are capable of getting. We know it is impossible for everyone to be the best of the best for the winner stands alone but something that most of us fail to be is being the best of ourselves which is much more important and possible. I am touched that this student really knows what he wants. At least he has his own target;something which is the best of him. It is better than having no target at all as life without a cause is a life without effect.
So, by hook or by crook, whether we like it or not, we have to be prepared for any outcomes. It's either we achieve what we want or not. You may jump with joy the day you receive your result or be wounded by it. But no matter what happens, learn to accept it and learn to learn from it. Success and failure, those two are part and parcel of life. Such wound of this is deemed to be capable of healing through medicine called Time. However, don't just simply let the time heals as mistakes are only meaningful when you regret them.
Finally, thanks for the memories. I had an exciting year as a new teacher experimenting the best approaches on you, the guinea pig, my beloved students. My favourite author said, he lives by a simple mantra; to make wonderful memories everyday and thank you with you, the colourful batch of SMAS form 3 students, I was able to have such memories everyday. I will definitely cherish the moment with all of you forever!
Thank you; love Miss Farah!

THE SAME OLD MOON
Dear students,
Remember when what you all anticipate come end of December is nothing but result with flying colors though some of your never worked hard enough to have colors of choice. I am sure now that each and everyone of you starts feeling the wings of butterflies inside your stomach. I myself am no exception. Once a while when this thing comes across my mind I start feeling worried and my mind starts calculating the possibilities that may or may not exist at all. Of course that is why we call it possibility. The situation(instead of problem) is we are now at no capacity to make amends of the result.
All papers are now at the hand of the unknown allies or foes whose identity we would never know. Allies if they give full dedication to give your best marks that you deserve and foes if you become their punching bag for their own personnel misery and carelessness.This means you are at risk at all times as you don't know which group you belong.
So, you may think if the possibilities do exist anyway. There is no point working hard enough only to know then that we have been a victim of human flaws. Can we easily accept if we are the ones who are at the receiving end of the human blunder. Where is justice and fairness in life then? Hard to fathom and still harder to accept.Let alone to swallow it !. So, what shall we do? Just enjoy the process that you have gone through all this while as God will never fail those who strive, only sometimes our turns are delayed as He knows best what suits us. We must realize that a great deal of people start to feel the taste of success late in their life. Most of them have two things in common first have a goal set high and another stick to their goal like what Teacher Farah reminds you all.
It is the same old moon that never fails to shed us light days in days out despite her frustration and woes over our actions which are against her and our God .It seems to her that the process of shedding light is an act of joy itself. Her purpose is to be a loyal servant to Him and she never fails to be one. She effectively executes her task as she her sole aim is to shed us and other God's earth creatures light at night. Her aim to see us becoming a true servant remains shattered. But she keeps on with her life as life itself is the most priceless gift.
In short, result is nothing compared to the process of achieving the result itself. Unfortunately, we are only ready to realize and accept this in our twilight years despite being told by the same old moon time and again.

NEW MOON
"before you (Bella), my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars- points of light and reason. ..And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy,there was beauty".. Cullen, E.
Life is just meaningful when it has purpose.. Be it big or small it will be meaningful and beautiful.. My dear students, set your purpose, your goal to achieve in this ephemeral life so that it will be the one with a moon, unlike a moonless night.
Well, I would prefer if you choose to set your aim high. There is nothing greater than to live in a life where you existence is necessary. So, choose to be someone who will contribute as much as you can to the people around you, the society. Einstein said human are part of the universe but many live in prison for their attention and affection is centered around a few people only. I am myself want to escape from this prison and becoming aware of the fact that there is so much in this universe that needs our attention.
So, set your goal high and definitely the first thing that needs to be checked is our intention.
Insya-Allah it is for the sake of God.
