But same or similar, words you used tend to have 'different class'.
Like someone with a profession sounds a bit more 'ahaa' than someone with a job.
Today, I found out a new term for my career/occupation/profession/job/work-to-be ;
'manager of learning'.
Sounds cool huh?
I heard engineer (bukan calang-calang punyer engineer, engineer of mind kot! ^_^), doctor, lawyer, artist, idol, (and the list dragged longer with non living things like candle, map, compass, chalk and etc) but this is really the very first time to hear someone used the word 'manager'.
Cik Guru is one the best profession ever, they could be anything producing anything.
Kilang Baja Pokok Kaktus wont produce Kicap Masin and Software for photo editing can't help merge sounds and fade it in a song.
Ok, that would be a very weird comparison to act as an analogy. Let start it again, a doctor could heal a technician, a blogger or a singer but he can't 'produce' one. An engineer could make a gigantic tower, beautiful chalet and amazing airports but not another 'insan', if you know what i mean.

But an English teacher can 'produce' a successful bussinessman or a tour guide or a doctor or a fashion designer,
and a Maths teacher can 'produce' a Prime Minister or a firefighter or a movie producer or even a tauke restaurant. And teachers of other subjects , they can ...(ok, don't want to make 1000miles long entry) But you got what i mean.i know. for sure.
Cikgu-cikgu also are great in drawing, designing, and arranging stuff (just look at the list of pertandingan kelas cantek or sekolah bersih) and they are the best in raising kids! <<<Fact! The biggest family i've encountered was a mother with 16 children but for a teacher, 16 is the very least number of students they have in a form, not in the whole school, and not for the whole year,not just yet. Undeniably, their responsibility are equals to half-time parents to these children.

And anyway, is there any other profession with more nicknames than us?
So thanks to our lecturer for introducing this term..
Whatever it is, the point here is not to be overly proud and blablabla but,
seriously I found it quite annoying (originally i typed very) when people went 'ohhh' or 'aaah' when i answered their questions.
'Study ape yer?'
"TESL".
"-Oooo...." and that fellow (mind my words) went total silent, flipping her book or notes or whatever paper that 'looks-really-important' while pretending that there was never very the very rancak conversation happened two minutes before.
its like,.. really, "What's wrong with our course? ..or our job-to-be?"
That conversation happened in a flight, last summer break. So, there we are, boarded the same flight, sat close to one another (indirectly; its the same-economy-class-seats), and obviously, travelling to and fro the same destination. So, why would you went with that 'Ooo'? uuuuh...
Next time if I happened to meet this type of person, I hope I would remember to say something like,
"erm, saya bakal manager" (or engineer or yeah....)HAHA.
Urgh..not really. Really, not really.
Cikgi or Cikga or Cikgu sounds ok to me.
I'm cool with that.
Words are just words anyway. But....(yeah, there is a 'but' here),
* just words but there's no harm in pretending to use it 'between you and yourself' as a way or medium to boost your ..hurm., motivation, aims, objective or whateversss,
therefore, ehhurm.., this manager-to-be is going to sleep now because she has early class tomorrow and its overly-past midnight now.
Pablo Picasso said everything you can imagine is real..Oh..i'm starting to have a very beautiful imagination now...so i'm off with that.
