Teaching in kolej matrikulasi Labuan

My posting was out I will teach matrix, my parents and me were worry that I was not going to get my posting as a educator due to the news about having too many teachers and me and my parents were asked about my posting when I will start working where will I be working. To tell the trough I was a bit annoyed being ask so many times and not having a good answer for it just that I’m still waiting.

Finally some news about posting but unfortunately my name was not in the web so again I was worried. I went for the interview only after I called KPM to ask why I did not get a letter to ask me to attend the interview to my surprise my address was missing and I was ask to go without any letter and now my name is not on the teacher posting web?

I was worried my friend gave me a number to call and that what I did and It turn out that my name was under matrix (16/03/07) to my joy I was to teach pre-u not only that I would be a lecture not just a teacher, on top of that I will teach in W.P.Labuan its only 40 minutes flight from my home town miri and I heard from a friend it was nice to stay there

My impression of Labuan is that things are not cheep her only some stuff are cheaper, the food here is not that nice too., a lot of meat and not much vegetable the weather here? Hot

My new office is nice have my own cubicle but not my own computer, maybe later

The students here wear very formal and I look more like one of the students here than a lecture. The colleagues are nice and friendly with most of them still very young.

I turn out that Labuan is a very small island with limited work and school available so if KPM were to transfer an older educator to teach here it would be hard for their spouse to find work here in Labuan plus land here is expensive that is why KPm send fresh uni grad to teach here because we are all single so are not tied by family this would be like another university that I teach in instead of studying in for a few years. Another thing about teaching matrix is that there are less holidays compare to schools and I will only have the maximum of just 3 week holiday per year =(

Anyway I think I can survive here it feel and look nice to teach here =)
