The Choice



“Please don’t do this to me Nia.”

“But this is what is best for everyone Ain, trust me on this. Abah and Ma will be so proud that you've made the right choice.”

“No, NO!”

“Get a hold of yourself. You said it yourself that you just want to get this over with. You said you want to take control. Now get hold of your shaky emotions!”

“I want the misery of confusion to end but not this way.”

“This is the only way.”

“I can’t. I can’t bring myself to choose. They are all so nice. I love them all the same.”

“No you can’t. You have to choose or you will suffer for the rest of your life! Make a wise choice Ain. You have to choose something because you can’t have it all. Remember? Priorities, priorities, priorities!”

“I can’t,” I could feel my voice trembling with fear of losing the love if I make the choice. The fear of making the wrong choice.

“I just can’t please let this slide just this time.”

“NO! You’re the one who wanted to take control now walk the talk!”

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I could feel the heat from my eyes, burning my tear gland but I hold it in.

Slowly I opened my eyes and whisper to myself.

“Okay fine, I’ll go with Murakami and Khalid Hosseini.”

 "I'm sorry Fukuyama." I heard Nia's voice trembled with agony in my head.

Assalamualaikum! :D      Morning people! You know, I think having a six-month holiday isn't bad after all. I figured out that I actually kinda need that time before I'm going for my Degree, insyaAllah. I figured out that I actually do have lotsa things to settle down with first. But anyway, yesterday was my first time teaching. Yep, I am kinda a tuition teacher but I only take one class per week for Standard 4. And you know what? It is actually not easy to be a good teacher.  This reminds me of an assignment that I have once done for TED072- Basic Principles in Education.       One of the challenges that most teachers face is when you have a group of students with different potentials. I mean, you will have a tough time deciding on what to teach and how to teach it because some of them already good in that and some don't. And it gets me thinking, am I a good teacher?

Warning: This post is pretty lengthy so take a deep breath and go!       Assalamualaikum. Hye people :D  For this latest post, I'm gonna talk on education again. Whoa, I sounds like a lecturer (Ameen) Okay, so I'm pretty lucky to have a teacher to guide me on this upcoming MUET.*shudders*  If I'm not mistaken, she's the chief examiner. So, she said that getting band 5 is not so hard but you need to know the techniques. For me, getting band 4 is enough to pursue for Degree but just like she said, better aim for the moon, so that even if we fall, we'll fall on the stars. So people, let's work as if we need the band 5 desperately, CHAIYOK ^.^v Haha, this one is pretty funny XD       Okay, let's get to the crux. Basically, speaking part is the part where most students find it hard. One of the obstacle to get Band 6. But don't worry, as long as you have the points in your speech and you talk with style and confidence, Allah's willin...
