Why women cry............................

A little boy asked his mother, 'Why are you crying?' 'Because I'm a woman,' she told him.

'I don't understand,' he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, 'And you never will.'

Later the little boy asked his father, 'Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?'

'All women cry for no reason,' was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry..

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, 'God, why do women cry so easily?'

God said

'When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.'

  "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.''

Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. ~Thomas Jefferson

 Since small, all of us have been taught to speak only truth nothing else. We always hear lots of stories about being honest....remember the popular guy "Pinocchio".Most of childhood stories emphasize on this honesty value.....but WHAT HAPPEN WHEN WE GREW OLDER?? Are we still being honest all the time....( if you are proudly nodding your head "yes"...then..good...You already LIE...) Honesty is not just returning money or wallet that we found on street to the owner...but the word honesty means the quality or fact of being honest; uprightness and fairness,truthfulness, sincerity, or frankness and finally freedom from deceit or fraud.

All of us try to be honest but some situation....forces many of us to LIE.  Hmmm......sometimes we also have to bear the consequences of being too honest. 

I joined as home tuition tutor with a guy Mr. X. I have never seen Mr.X so far. We only communicate through phone. He is the agent who deal with tutors and student. The deal is he will pass the student's  contact number and we have to pay 50% of the tuition fees to him. All was fine until one fine day, he called me and gave a me Indian lady number. I was happy and excited...(of course, i'm getting student and my income going to increase too...double YIPPIE.). Mr.X talks about the payment and bla bla bla bla.....( i mean..discussion about the student's house address, subject, requirement, chargers......and I"M a SCHOOL TEACHER). What i'm a school teacher????? Since when i become a school teacher? I try to interrupt him and correct him, that i'm not a school teacher...i'm just a PART TIME TUITION TEACHER. Mr.X raise his voice and told me, " I know your not school teacher, you just tell the parents that your a school teacher and have experience of being UPSR Science paper examiner for 4 years". My face turn sour. More question rise in my mind...... ( What if the parents found out the truth? what is the name of 'THE" school? What will happen if any relation of student teaching the school?) The more question arise, the more freaked out i was. I call my friend who pass me this agent number, according to my friend, he also said the same thing to his student's parents.Ouchhhh..................but i'm so SCARED.
The whole 30 min journey to the student, i was just chanting one mantra.."OH GOD, LET ME ESCAPE FROM THE PARENTS". I was very nervous to approach them. " Your teacher right? Which school are you from?" I was blur at the moment, can feel that my whole blood system have been drained out. "Hmmmm.......yes..from Bukit Jalil School" i finally able to utter the word that been told by MR.X. I really don't know how to react when talking to the lady in her late thirties. I feel shy and guilty. The lady told  me about her situation. Bravo for the single mother. She really had the motherly spirit. She is very concern about her children. Now, i felt more bad for cheating the poor lady. I try my best to reveal my true personality but bad timing that she need to leave the house for work. She left me and the kids in home.

The whole night was like nightmare, i just feeling too guilty. The next class i make my point, no matter how she react, i'm going to tell her the truth. It is ok...if she really scold me or chase me out of the house, at least i won't have the feeling that keep haunting me.
The next class, the first word i utter after seing her is " Can i talk to you personally?" She look at me clueless. Then, we went to talk in her garden. I explain to her all the issues sincerely. I even don't mind if she fire me as tuition teacher. I already prepare myself for worst case.I wouldn't really remember what i told her...i was too nervous, my mouth was doing its work on its own. I just felt at the moment everything was on its own. I could feel the energy flowing, ......no words to say.......It was more to like heart to heart story. 
" Oh, ok!!" this was her expression. I was afraid to face the punishment but i don't regret. I was more relieved and peaceful. After telling the truth, my heart becomes really lighter. Ahhhhhh...i feels good. By the way, there was no punishment given, the parents allow my to continue the class as usual. After that incident, i learns a lesson,  NO Matter What IS The Case, JUST be HOnest, If Things are MEAnt for US Then IT Will BE suRE OURS........

 

Act of Kindness or Stupidity??

Well, this post is really about my experience.....which occur couple of days ago...

It was Saturday afternoon, i was driving back home from my tuition classes....it was raining heavily..and i was about to reach my home in about 10 min. I passes by the market area. Since it was raining, all the stalls were closed earlier and as usual the roads are left with garbage. (yeah...this is typical Malaysian style, the street will be full of garbage everywhere after "Pasar Malam"...or even Morning market).

I saw an Indian lady in her sixties, was busy sweeping the road. It was raining heavily and she was still cleaning the garbage left on the road. I notice that she is wet in rain and not wearing any shoes.....I quickly stop my car and unwind down my car window. I ask.."Pathi, what are you doing here, where is your shoes?" I patiently waited for her answer. She told me that she is on prayers and cannot wear shoes when wearing yellow saree.  I nodded and smile to her. Then i force her to take my umbrella, i seriously felt bad to let the old lady getting wet in rain. So far things are going smooth and nice.{ In my mind, i was thinking that it was Adhi month (auspicious month for Hindu), it  is good to help a lady especially in yellow saree...it must be a test given by GOD to check how helpful  i am towards human being around me......i know this is so childish to have thought like this but who cares...he he he he}.

Suddenly, a twist happen!!!! When i was about to sit into my car, the lady came nearer to me. She called me...and i just turn and looked at her. She say, " Girl, can u give me some money?" I am so blur at that time...i stupidly ask how much she needs. "Well, who knows maybe she need money to eat."..this is what my mind speak..While i try to take my purse from my handbag, i hear she say she need RM100. WHAT......RM100???? I myself don't have that much of cash in hand. I felt something wrong going on....(how slow my brain work sometimes...chew).

The lady is waiting for me to say yes to her and give her the money just like that. I just nodded and say that i don't have that much of money. I just try to walk away quickly. Then again she stop me and ask for at least RM50. "Argh...... i seriously don't have the money to give her". While i was politely saying no to her, i can sense that her eyes is focusing on my chain and locket. I am not accusing her, but the way she look at my chain and locket looks really fishy. I believe in eye contact, i looks directly into the eye when speak to people. My heart starts to pump fast...and my intuition sense danger sign. The lady with just focusing on my chain  try to walk closer towards me.

I just quickly get into my car and leave the place.Thank god nothing wrong happen. I just cann't imagine how could i explain to my father if she just snatch my chain and locket. My intention was to help the lady but never thought it can also cause trouble to myself. While i drive home, i then saw there were many cleaners who are sweeping the roads, now i'm sure that the lady is actually working as sweeper. I talk to my friend about this, she scolded me for acting stupid. Yeah...i agree now..it is a act of stupidity.

 

Happy Teacher's Day:)

Hmmm...this is a very old blog. It has been in my draft for a very long time. This blog is in conjunction with 16 Mei which is Teacher's Day.

""" Teacher's day...!!! What got to do with you, Reva??""" I can sense tht question from my faithful blog readers. Well, i'm a tuition teacher as well. Part time job....he he he he...:)

I enjoy my classes...... love the kids. They make me to laugh a lot. Their creative thinking and spontaneous conversation really make my day ( maybe i love kids....but trust me..all my students are jokers). These days students are so different from those days. I and my students share a very special bonds.They treat me more like an elder sister. They share a lot of stories with me...well.. including their love stories. Ha ha ha...... One of my student is just 13 years old, he told me that he got a new girlfriend..... when i ask  what happen to the past girl friend,..." Ayoo teacher, so boring la, with the same girl for long time... this girl is more pretty la..teacher", this is his answer to my question. Young puppy love i guess...

Anyway.....this year teacher's day is good for me. Really appreciate all the loves and gifts. Hoping tht all my student can score good result for their exams.

Women....

I was driving my Ms.Vivi...while thinking about a topic to blog about. Suddenly a Islamic talk catch my attention.... it was on air by Minnal FM. The topic was about " Role of women after marriage to their parents and siblings."

Women are "princess of the house". They conquer the house before their wedding. Usually all decision will be taken under consideration of girls in the house. Just tell a simple things..... i'm sure girls view are considered. When appa ( father) wants to buy new sofa, usually the girls are the one who choose what they wants..... when amma ( mother) buys a saree, still the girl are asked for opinion of colours.....anna (brother) going for his first date, usually sisters are the one who pick a shirt on his wardrobe and of coz the ironing job goes to her as well. Ha ha ha....haizzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Even planing for secret birthday parties, Mother's Day celebration, Father's Day celebration...all this job goes to the female creatures ( this statement is purely from my experiences, my brothers always forget dates, so can't aspect gift from them...so usually they just chip in their name on my mother's day gift...the best part is,my amma knows very well tht it is my gift with my brothers name on it). Things are more prominent when the girl is elders in the house. All the decision, from buying soap to buying car.... her choices rules the scenario.

 Ok....the issue is..."What happen when she gets married and leave the house?" According the talk show by a Muslim priest..( Imam), girls once married got no rights to take any decision in her parents house. The moment she is married, she has lost her importance in her parents house. I totally agree to this statement. 

Women nowadays are totally influence by TV serial. The Imam mention that, in all the TV serial,the lead character are women. They shows the character to be a very very powerful women, a dynamic women, a multitasking women, a brave women, and of course a women that can solve all the problem in neighborhood. But can this happen in real life??? Nope, a wise women will never interfere in other people's life. ( Only in tv serial, the heroine can go and change people's life, and she still conquer her parents house...Chellame, Thangam, Kasturi, Idahayam...oh gosh, all the serial are the same......haizzzzzzzzzzz!!).

According to the Islamic talk, once a women is married, she is subjected to her husband. She take decision in her in laws family...not in her parents house!!!! She can only give suggestion if been asked. Giving suggestion and taking decision is 2 different things. Hope women out there realized it. In these matter, guys role are important. They have more rights to parents rather than girls.

I feel that, it is unfair to our sister in laws..if we still conquer our parents house. Give space for that women too..she needs attention and have her own way of building family. We should know our limits in parents house once married. Hope that all women, who read my blog will agree with me... and considered this matter.

Thanks...

Science Fair 2011...

This weekend...i'm super busy. I was chosen as judge for the science fair 2011 for Selangor state level. Thanks for choosing me...although it was last minute offer. Yeah....i'm sure, you will be asking " What is the big deal..in becoming Judge?" Hmmm...actually i feel touched and honored to be given a big task like this. I got the opportunity to meet profession people. Proudly saying, there are only few young people given that task...most of the others are real uncles( well i mean, BALD man...with thick glasses, Sorry, if you are in tht category too..he he he he).

Actually it was a big event..SCIENCE FAIR FOR YOUNG CHILDREN 2011 organized by Tamil Foundation Malaysia. It was held in TNB Hall, Bangsar, KL. A lot of school from Selangor and Kuala Lumpur take part in this event. I'm happy that there are NGO who is giving a proper platform for the Indian student to  grow in Science field. I used to thinks that Indian community are only given oppurtunity to prove their talent in show such like Astro Vanavil's Dance Show or Singing Competition (nothing offense against them, but...i just feel too much priority is given to entertainment based show.). But hats off to Tamil Foundation.. for their good effort. Hope another ABDUL KALAM OR SWAMI VIVEKANDA can be formed in our Indian society.

 

The booth setup...

Invention of Airplane.....

This 3 boys..creates a remote car. And the best part is...they try to sell thier remote car for the price of RM100.  Smart young bussinessmen.

Scientist on lab coats...

This particular group did something on gears....but so much on engineering part....

Well..this is a well. They used it as their model for pulley system. A good one...:)

A particular school created a bulldozer..( a very good invention...)

And they named it " DORAIZER'... It was named after the school's principal name.."Dorai+ Bulldozer= Doraizer"..( tht is funny)

The view from the top..

I wish tht more program will be conducted for Indian student. I was really impressed with certain school efforts. Hard work and innovation was shown by all the young scientists. Good luck for all the students...and may the blessings be:)
