so today i came in work 10 minutes later than usual. (well, later than the usual late). not because i woke up late, or stuck in jam, nor was the bus late…but TERLAJAK LAA beb!!! tak pernah2 since i started working was i ever terlajak! biasalah pagi2 naik bas, TERtidur, tak sadar bus dah lalu serangoon, dah lalu ang mo kio, dah lalu toa payoh.
usually my mind had this automotic ‘wake-up’ alarm on bus journeys, but somehow it didn’t work today. so dengan tersadar selepas terlepas busstop, tak tahu apa nak buat untuk seketika, lantas turun di bus-stop seterusnyer (ok, my BM so tak bagus~)
makanyer kenalah jalan kaki merentas hutan batu. terus tak ngantuk seh!! hahah
and i was surfing and browsing (being in such a project, allows you to actually surf with a purpose;)) so anyway, yeah browsing through friendster, looking what and who’s in this humonguous network. so i was thinking why not start with my group of teens students???
you wouldn’t believe what i saw! well, for one thing, a lot of them are in friendster (i mean, come on!!! who wouldn’t?? DUUHHHH) and most of them are real. down to earth, funny, your everyday teens. and i was oh so eager to add them up as friends, and then i started to think : would THEY WANT their not so USTAZAH (a trainer is more like it)be their friendster friend??
well, i was thinking they wouldn’t want me to be ‘sneaking’ on their sites, or they might not want me to know who they really are outside class, or they might segan or malu with me. so i decided to view their profile UNanonymously so they will know i peeked at their friendster site. and then let them decide whether to add me or not. i would want them to add me as their USTAZAH willingly, not forced. i wouldn’t want them to suddenly rigidise themselves just by knowing their ustazah will always be lurking around, ‘checking’ up on them. i do have that penyakit INQUISITIVE and CURIOUS, you know.
but at the same time, wouldn’t it be good to have them in my circle? how would they feel if i add them? wouldn’t i be someone they can interact closely, even outside class? that’s obvious wouldn’t it. let me think about it for awhile. and continue surfing looking for my students~~
