Yesterday was supposed to be my last day in SMSHasan, Kilanas, but decided to drop the bad news to my students… that they’re stuck with me til at least their mid-year exams. Haha! Thanks for the sweet farewell, though.
Above: 9Sci2; below: 9B. Missing are 9D and 9G (cos I forgot to bring my camera to class).

Massive turnout at the forum yesterday! As Prof Madya said “those who do not know their own history are those who do not have an identity, and susceptible to invasion from outside forces”. Knowledge from the forum on Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih, the one who freed Constantinople from the Romans, was highly beneficial and applicable to youths and aspiring parents (and current parents too!). May Allah be pleased with everyone who turned up, and with those who had the intention of turning up, too. 😊 #ilmfest #latergram (at Masjid Al-Ameerah Al-Hajah Mariam Kampong Jerudong Brunei Darussalam)
This is what we chemistry teachers do after discussing how to teach effectively: talk about running and fitness, and arm-wrestle. Proud to say I almost beat everyone 💪 #bicepflex #nottonedbutstrong
✅ A book set somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit
Another Dan Brown novel checked off my list. I remember reading (and finishing) this book on the plane from Tokyo to Singapore after the JENESYS programme. Love the way the author writes the narrative, and the chapterisation (that’s not a word) of the novel. #2015readingchallenge #danbrown #thelostsymbol
Presenting the brainchild of 6.5 hours of sitting in Starbucks (with no WiFi): my first Learning Area assignment! Had the data from weeks ago but only wrote it up today. What can I say, I put the ‘pro’ in 'procrastinate’. #MTeach #ihopethisdoesnotbecomeahabit #skippedtwolecturestodothis (at Universiti Brunei Darussalam)
Run number 3⃣ of 2014: Larian Amal Tongkat Putih. Saw a lot of familiar faces, and apparently the route for 5km was more than advertised 🏃😅 Good job to the organisers and volunteers! Next time, I wanna win one of lucky draw prizes, haha.
Two or three more runs in the next two months, gonna have to train harder now! #larianamaltongkatputih #bukantongkatali #whitecanecharityrun #notsugarcane #opgetfit #oplosefats #opweddingbody (at Stadium Negara Hassanal Bolkiah)
Chromatograms of different colours of Sharpie and Pilot permanent markers. Gotta make it look nice to show the students in a bit! #imissexperimentalchemistry #amiarealteachernow #sirpppaichan #chemistagram
“Kitani santai saja!”
Alhamdulillah, “ilm sharing” session with Ustaz Isham bin Ismail was totally beneficial and overall enjoyable! 😄 Met a few lovely people whose company I would love to keep, and afterwards had a deep sharing session with @abdwaliyuddin in his car ☺️ Thanks to all who was behind this event, hope to see more of this! #ilmfest (at Masjid Al-Ameerah Al-Hajah Mariam Kampong Jerudong Brunei Darussalam)
Catchup chilli sauce with three of the #AwesomeBlossoms for what seemed like forever. To more meetups in the near future! #clingyhousemates
First experience being in Taman SOAS but not participating in the sambutan! Instead, I was supervising the students 😅 Loved this year’s core performance, originality in the props (lol).
