Living my life as usual. Trying to enjoy every moment, trying to cherish it. Among the things that i miss rite now, are my ex pdt students. Ive been teaching pdt students for at least 5 years, started when i was in KMPP right until now, in KMK. Yeah..enjoy teaching em..got to do new activities with them...n get close with em too.

CUDA.

U drive me angry!!!

ABSENT AGAIN!!!!Last time around u were absent too, i heard that's because of "overslept". Hmm..Yesterday u were there but u were like daydreaming at the back, dunno whether u know what you are supposed to do- helping ur friends to do research writing. Today, this afternoon, i met you. I even told you to attend my class n continue working on the research. Very disappointed that you didnt turn up until the end. Hmmm...i often notice on fb, u like to update ur status mostly about personal life. Recently is about ur relationship anniversary. I cant stop wondering, are u serious with ur future? or more on ur love story? Do you think u can rely on ur bf alone without taking ur academic very seriously????

Monday blues...

My Monday is not so "Blues'. A tiring Monday instead. Pack with many classes. The short gap in between. Juz when im bout to do something, its time to go to the next class. Huh...Wat to do..Juz follow the rules n the schedule given..In class, explaining, discussing and consulting the students regarding their last assignment, "Research Writing". The dateline is approaching...soon. So, i urge them to work faster and harder than before. I was in their shoes before. And, i didnt find any reason to postpone or asking for a delay, in submitting the research.

Educational Blogs

As salam to all. Dua hari aku attend a short course on how to create an educational blog- lain sikit dari blogspot ni in terms of the features. Baru tau, rupanya banyak lagi blog sites yang leh di gunapakai selain dari blogspot n wordpress. Mcm blogspot sendiri, tak berapa sesuai dan ada feature/widget/plugin yg takdak untuk upload document (excel, powerpoint, etc.) Jadi, dlm course baru tahu semua tu...

Contoh2 education blogs for teachers(juz like me) untuk teaching n learning purposes ni adalah :

1. Edublogs.org

2. 21 classes

Welcome to the new students Batch 2011/2012

Welcome to the new students
Batch 2011/2012 of KMPP. Hoping that all of you will behave well and be better students this semester. Hoping that you'll produce better results too. I dont wanna put high expectation on U, but 8 years of experience in teaching matric students really teach me a lot. Well, we shall wait n see.....

I hope you can adapt with the new environment here, a new surrounding and new learning style. You have to learn to accept changes and adjust them so that they can fit with ur life. You have to learn to live among new people, new faces and new learning place. Dont be so culture shock, it is for temporary only....After a few months, you will survive this confusing n crucial phase-adapting. All the best and good luck to all of u!!!

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY...TO ALL THE TEACHERS IN MALAYSIA

Happy Teacher's Day to me and to all teachers in Malaysia, let it be kindergarten teachers, school teachers, college lecturers etc...We are the same, educators, so the aim is always the same, to teach our young generation and instill good moral values in them with the knowledge that we have.

Selamat Hari Guru buat semua guru dan semoga kita akan menjadi guru yang lebih baik di masa hadapan dan dapat mengharungi dunia yang semakin mencabar ini. Bukan senang hendak membentuk seseorang sehingga menjadi seirang yang berjaya, ia amat memerlukan pengorbanan dan kesabaran yang tinggi, apatah lagi dengan keadaan sekarang yang semakin mencabar dan pelbagai permasalahn yang timbul di kalangan pelajar-pelajar kita.

WHAT DA HECK!!!!

Ya Allah...terkejut aku tengok video ni. Budak2 sekolah menengah, yg baru berumur belasan tahun ni, bukannya pi sekolah untuk mencari ilmu, tapi pi sekolah utk belajar cara2 membuli org. Teruk giler beb!! Cuba tengok yang kena buli tue, siannyakan? She is so helpless...yalah, she's alone okay. By the way, where the rest of her friends? Why didn't they stop those few girls from bullying her? Didnt they have any sympathy towards her? She was crying all the time...They cut her hair, they slapped her few times, they pulled her hair, they pushed her head...OMG...If i were her, i would have run from the classroom maybe...

Juz now i watched the news on TV3 about this case, those who bullied her have gotten their punishment already...suspend from school for few weeks.They deserve it!! If they do this to my gal, haah...im not gonna sit down n relax...might do the same thing like the gal's father did, lodge a report...or maybe ill go to the gals' houses and confront with their parents n even show the video that is on air via youtube. This is the gal's dignity...and they have given her a nightmare...not to mention, give the school a bad reputation when school is supposed to be a place for learning and building friendship.

One day in Penang Island with H5P1

A TRIP TO PENANG ISLAND ON 19.03.2011

On the 19th March 2011(Saturday), i had a very enjoyable, outrageous, unforgettable, memorable and wonderful outing with my mentees, H5P1 in Penang Island. The trip to the island was an awaited one by them since they could go out for one day, with their friends and got the chance to visit few interesting places in Penang. I cant deny that the journey was exciting and everybody enjoyed every bit of it.

The first destination was, Taman Rimba Teluk Bahang. It is 1 hour and 30 minutes journey for us to get there from KMPP, Kepala Batas.

Over there, the students had some games (they came out on their own) and they gave full cooperation. Moreoever, one of the students claimed that he hasnt been into a river for 3 years. Hahahaha..so that was kinda relieved for him at last..got the chance to swim and bathe in the river or more to pool.

Izzah, one of my mentees, didnt even come out from the water from the time she got into it(10.30a.m) up to afternoon (1.00 p.m.)!!! What a craze!!! They were very sporting. They(the games' committee) had prepared some water games and the rest of the students took part in all the games without any hesitation at all!! That's what i would call as "Teamwork".

Splendid job izzah, yana etc...!! After Zohor, we made our move to Teluk Bahang Dam. Actually we aren't allowed to enter the dam except when "International Boat Competition" is held. So, we could only look from the outside, but the dam is very large...big....n beautiful too in a way.

After that, we went to Penang National Park. If only we had enough time, we would not waste the opportunity to ride the boat and explore the rest of the preserved forest.

A very hot day..we were sweating but that didnt stop us from snapping more and more pictures over there. There were many tourists too. I guess they might be outsiders(mind their dialects)

We went to Pantai Miami, Batu Feringgi..another session of taking photos here and there.

I tried Laksa with my students. Few of them couldnt finish it as they said that it tasted weird(of coz because of "otak udang") and i found it amusing..hahahaha...but as for me, it was simply delicious. I finished it until the last bite that i could have. huhuhu...

Floating mosque,Tanjung Bungah, is our next destination. Beautiful and peaceful too.. we took a nap there while waiting for asar, n we performed our prayer together. Taking photos, then we got ready to go to Padang Kota.

It was raining for a while...and cloudy too. I hope by the time we got there, the weather would be juz fine...Not that far from Tanjung Bungah, it only took 20-25 minutes for us to reach Pdg. Kota(depends on the traffic of coz). But before that, the driver brought us to the Gurney Walk...nearby Gurney Plaza. We didnt stop actually, he juz drove along the Gurney Walk to let the students see how it looks like.

By the time we reached at Padang Kota, the weather seemed cloudy and it was going to rain any minutes. Crowded!!! Noisy too...but the students seemed so happy, they didnt care about other things at that time.

U have to pay RM2 if u want to enter Fort Cornwallis and u will get to see the canons that were used during the war(remember Francis Light??? hah, he's the bad guy here). U can see his statue too there...n take picture with him(pose any style that u want).

We spent 20 minutes there, then only we realized that we were so HUNGRY!!

6.30p.m, we made our move to Batu Uban- Nurul Ikan Bakar (nearby Marin quarters) to have our dinner. I had reserved earlier for 24 of us, so there was no problem. As we got there, it was raining heavily, cats n dogs kind. Hah...Time to eat!! The students were so hungry that they ate until the last bite.

The menu was awesome too..yummy.. I ordered Siakap bakar n steam, tomyam campur, telur dadar, sotong goreng tepung, sayur campur and watermelon juice. They said, the dishes were delicious and tasty. I was so happy and gald that they enjoyed the meal. During that time, they had the gift exchanging session.

So everybody got a present from their friends, including me! I got a jersey(printed with my name at the back), red colour(juz like Liverpool jersey).
THANK YOU H5P1!!!! I also got another gift(i havent unwrapped it until now).

What an unforgettable memories with my students a.k.a my mentees. I will always remember and cherish the moments that we spent together..Thank you for being good students to me. I hope all of you will succeed in ur life.InsyaAllah....Amin., and dont forget me ok???

I cant imagine i had to get involved in the ICT thing, preparing activities-language games, and also had to create a slide show presentation and editing the videos etc. So, i had to try using PICASA software to make a short video clips using all the photos that i have captured before during my P&P.

A visit from Timbalan and KJ

This student was concentrating on the game

With non-stop visitors came to our booth, they tried the games and other activities that we had prepared, it is undeniable that the visitors or the participants were so actively involved in those activities. A visit from our own Matric Director, Dr. Sariah, accompanied by KMPP director, Tn Hj Khairi and also KMK director, Tn Hj Raja Sulaiman, was an unforgettable moment. I am glad that everything went well...smoothly too.

Alhamdulillah..everything went well and smoothly despite of some difficulties that we had to face..
