Now, it’s about one month since I came to Sabah. Feeling quite settled here but I still preferred to be posted at East Brisbane State School (damn, I actually miss it). Haha. Now, let me tell you something about my school. My school, SK Bundu Tahuri, Tamparuli (actually the locals here pronounce it as TampaLURI, just knew bout it recently, though I thought I misheard them in the first place...lol) is a Pedalaman 1 category and situated about 18km from Tamparuli town. To be specific, only 4km is the main road, the other 14km is a harsh and gruesome gravel road (ask Mien, he had experienced it once...heh). The thing about the road is, I have to experience it every single day going to the school. This is because, almost all teachers live outside at the town except those who come from the village nearby to the school. And since I have moved to Tuaran after two weeks here, I have to travel about 30km to school (60km altogether) every day. But it’s ok, now I’m much closer to my loved one (only 3.5km from my rented house...hehe).
I love my school (small school)...I love the staffs (they’re all Sabahans)...I love the kids (all of them are Dusun)...I love the environment (there’s a small stream just next to the field...and the school’s surrounded by green hills...and it’s quite close to Mt. Kinabalu)...I love the GB who is really considerate by letting me teaching English only...and I love that I could use my hotlink number at school (but only at two particular spots)...huhu. Well, that’s how to sum up how I feel about my school. It’s indeed a very small school. Mien and Tiqah being posted to Pedalaman 2 schools and they have about 100++ pupils but here, they’re just 42 pupils here (like for year 5, there are only 4 pupils; 2 boys and 2 girls). All of them are Christians except one year 2 girl who is a Muslim.
In shorts, I love the atmosphere at my school - it’s not too hectic like KL. Because from what I heard from a few colleagues in Semenanjung, they have been doing lots of stuff and have humungous workloads. However, after one month being here, my only job is to go inside the class and teach – that’s just about it. Until at one point I feel like this is just a mere vacation for me. But then, I realised that I should be doing something like contribute for the betterment of this school. On second thought, I’ll think about that later. As for now, I just want to enjoy my ‘vacation’ ;p

You have such a great opportunity to make a big difference in every one of them.
