3 weeks in Tanjung Dawai, Kuala Muda Yan, Kedah

Hi every one, I am back again to web diary. 12 Oct is my last day in SJK(C)Ping Ming, Lima Kedai, Johor. 13 Oct I take a night bus with another 7 friends to Penang. Actually we plan to go to Penang for our one week holiday. But because of my offer, so I can’t travel with them in Penang. I just say good bye to them at Butterworth and back to Alor Setar.

On 15 Oct, I went to Jabatan Pelajaran Kedah to register myself as Guru Pemulihan. We have a talk and briefing about the teacher life. Mr Wong(王督学，教育局里的人) 要求我们隔天，既是16 Oct 去各自的小学报道。 我被派到SJK(C) Choong Cheng, Tanjung Dawai. Tanjung Dawai 是一个靠近Merbok 及靠海的小乡村，是个小乡村。我很喜欢乡村，虽然我希望可以拿到高龄中华小学，因为它离我家最近，但Tanjung Dawai 也不错。

当天，我就去Alor Setar Mahkamah Sumpah, 后再去日得拉政府医院做Medical Check Up，再打电话给我的未来校长，要求他帮我找房子住。先告诉你，我完全不知tanjung dawai 是在那里，是督学告诉我说，它是在吉中区。 我虽然是吉打人，但我只熟悉玻璃市的地方！

16 OCT 我驾我妈妈的摩多去，用日得拉高速公路去到Gurun, Bedong, Semeling, Merbok, Tanjung Dawai. 5.30am depart from my house and arrive the school at 8.20am. Later start working.

The headmaster told me that I will only start my teaching life next year because the school just passes their final exam. All pupils have no mood to study. Besides, they are busy for the presentation on “毕业典礼”, they need to practice for their dance, recorder, drama and so on. Thus, I only need to 代课for this moment. I will go for the 假期师训，现在的我完全不知如何教书，因为没有专人指教过，也没上过课！只有期待这次的假期可以让我认识如何教书！我只专教学习比较弱的学生，或学习能力差的学生，所以我叫做Guru Pemulihan, 微型小学辅导老师是我的全名！我的教学需要很多样化，要很有耐心，不能用藤鞭，因材施教是我未来的的座右铭！

In Tanjung Dawai, there has no shopping complex. Over there only has a beach and some shops. Most of the shops are Malay shop. So every day, I will go to the beach to have a walk in the evening. I like the feeling so much. 很喜欢吹吹风的感觉！　:) Besides, I will play recorder and read books and call to my friends. Recently I change prepaid to postpaid, my phone bill become so terrible. RM1++ for one month.... ^_^!!! I will go back to Kodiang every week on thursday. And come back to Tanjung Dawai on saturday.

This week, I come to Penang. Today is 2nd Nov, I stay at Penang L-12-4, my old house and online to write out this blog. Last night Jie Xin, Maro and me had a very nice dinner together. Later, Maro went to Melaka by bus. She is going to an interview. I wish her good luck and get the job. I will go back to Kedah tomorrow because Kedah school day is from Sunday to Thursday. I rode motor to Penang. It took me 1:45 minutes to arrive BJ complex. I took 1:30 or 2 hours to arrive my Kodiang house. For those who want to contact me, please sms to me or call my phone. Because in Tanjung Dawai is imposible to online. The primary school has online system but goverment does not allow us to use the school internet for personal use except for teaching material. So I can't check my email or even write my blog.
