Ramadhan is almost here!

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone!!

February has been no less hectic than January since we had two big programs back-to-back. I was also involved as an AJK for both, so yeah… your girlie stayed busy the entire month (sigh...).

But honestly, things got so much better because I finally have a yapping friend!! A MyStep teacher came in to replace Ustazah Farhana during her maternity leave, and guess what? She’s my age, thank God!!! She also lives somewhere close to me, AND we share the same braincell… another thank God 😭✨

I genuinely feel like God listened to my rant in the last post and sent her to cheer me up hahaha. It felt so good finally having someone I can make Gen-Z jokes with. No offence at all, the other teachers have been super nice to me, but the age gap is just... there. 

My new friend has also helped me a lot with my AJK tasks and class teacher responsibilities since she’s teaching the same class as mine.

My yapping friend, Cikgu Insyirah!! Yeayyy!!

On top of that, I finally mustered up the courage to talk to another new English teacher who actually came a week earlier than I did. I was lowkey intimidated at first because he looks experienced af while I’m just there feeling like a total newbie... 

But we ended up clicking after joining a PLC under the English Committee. We had to mark the RI diagnostic test, and as the newbie I am, I had sooo many questions. Thank God he’s experienced in handling RIs, so he guided me through a lot. Somehow, we even transitioned straight into “kau” and “aku” because saying “saya” and “awak” felt way too awkward HAHA.

Honestly, all of this made my experience at school so much better. Even as an introvert, it really proves that I still need friends to talk, laugh, and banter with just to survive the day.

And finally… I had my first proper week-break as a teacher. For the first time in a while, I actually had the space to breathe and reflect. Somehow, everything is slowly starting to make sense—the routines, the responsibilities, the little wins in class. It’s still overwhelming at times, but I feel like I’m finally settling into this teacher life bit by bit.

Now, I’m honestly really excited for Ramadan to come. I’m hoping it’ll be a month of peace, grounding, and a much-needed reset after such a hectic start to the year.

Wishing all Muslims around the world a blessed and meaningful Ramadan. May this holy month bring us peace, strength, and countless barakah. 🌙✨

Ramadan Mubarak everyone, and goodbye for now!
