Hello Again ...

Hello and hi to everyone...
Eversince the year-end school break, everyone seems to stay idle except those who have planned for vacations or home activities. Very well, it may appear tedious if one lives without any specific activity. As for me, I feel quite fortunate to have a number of English workshops with my students during these school holidays. For at least, I won't feel so bored.
So... today I've initiated myself to add some values and "life" to my blog hoping that everyone would enjoy the changes apart from reading my posts. In fact, I have developed a new blog and am about to put in more academic stuffs. Yeah, just be patient, k. I'll make you get the link so that you can directly log on to my new blog. Well, I sincerely hope my newly-built blog would cater to the needs of my English students. I wish to have lots of online grammar exercises and writing tips. So.. see you there. Adios...

Getting 48 ...

Salam and hi to everyone who knows me ...
Today is 22nd Nov 2009. Frankly speaking, today is my birthday. I am 48 years old. Gee.... how time flies so fast. I thought it was just yesterday when I left my primary school. Perhaps I spend no time at all looking at my watch or clock. It's true indeed when you are too engrossed with tasks and life assignments, you wouldn't bother much about your age increament and personal commitments. However, I'm still thankful with what I am now.
Well, since the first day me joining the teaching profession in 1982, I've basically been teaching for the past 28 years. Pejam celik pejam celik, tak sedar yer.... On reaching 56 years old, I would have another eight years. It's still a long way to go. I just hope I'm still healthy and can afford to face various challenges. I just hope I could still bring simple meaningful innovations in my teaching profession. Yeah, I know it's not easy but wouldn't it be better to give a try rather than watching others making changes?
Oppss... it's almost noon. Gotta go dear. Got 5 wedding invitations.
Cya. Bubbye ....

A Success To Appreciate ....

Salam again and hi to my students of 6A1 and 6A2, not forgetting to those from other classes plus those who used to follow my blog.
Yesterday, the 19th of Nov 2009 was the day when every single student who has sat for the UPSR recently waited for the result announcement to be made by the Headmaster. Yeah, finally everyone had theirs. Allow me to share the joy with you all who have scored straight A's. Congratulations as you too have fared well in the English paper. Indeed, your consistent effort was paid off. I just hope you keep on doing well in your future studies. Believe in yourself that had you not give up, you shall always gain success.
At the same time, to those who were unable to get straight A's, don't be sad. It's not the ending of everything. You still stand for equal chance just like the others to get a better learning opportunity. So, tell yourselves that you want to change right now so that you can be better than before if only you could not be the best.

Till then, morning.

Cya l8er.
Just me - Sir Roslan Ahmad

Thursday, 19th November 2009

Salam and hi to all, particularly to my diligent students from 6A1 and 6A2. Not forgetting those from other classes and schools who know me in any way.
It has been quite a long time since I last wrote my post. I must apologise as I am indeed still busy with unfinished tasks even there are still some accomplishments. However, I must thank God for bestowing me with proper health and strength despite me still suffering from hypertension and diabetes.
As many know, tomorrow is the 19th of November, the day when the UPSR result will be announced. Everyone predicts, everybody anticipates for the best including me. Nevertheless, there will always be unexpected results to come up. Unexpected results could be pleasant and vice-versa. Well, to those who have striven for the best, then just expect for the best. Avoid being kinda prejudice upon the up-coming result. We have done our job and let Allah does the rest.
Prior to tomorrow's event, I wish to congratulate those who score with flying colours. To those who manage to pass in all subjects, you too deserve my compliments. To the rest who are unable to perform well, do not feel so sad. After all, it is not the end of everything, is it?

Cya later guys.
All the best.

Sir Roslan Ahmad

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri

Finally...Hari Raya is just around the corner. In a couple of days time, all Muslims will celebrate this grand meaningful occasion. In fact, most Malaysians will celebrate it without prejudice. Very well, I believe my dear students are currently busy helping their parents and families for this special occasion. Indeed, you all are just done with your recent UPSR, aren't you? Hence, this coming Hari Raya should be regarded as a break after a hard day's work. Be proper in every way despite your desire to enjoy every single minute of the day. What to remember most is you all still have commitments when lessons resume after the Hari Raya break. Learning and acquiring knowledge is a journey, is an on-going process. Neither it's a destination nor it is a terminal. So guys, make sure you are conscious of what's going to take place in months and years to come. As far as I am concerned, I wish you good luck, best in everything you do and may you triumph in your UPSR, insyallah.

Q2B : Buying An Electronic Dictionary

I would choose Bestari electronic dictionary because I feel this merchandise would probably be the best for me compared to the other two items. As I am a student who loves language studies, I think this dictionary would benefit much as it has lots of unique features to assist me in getting the right and accurate translations.

Being sold at RM400.00, I think the price is quite realistic as it guarantees longevity. In a way, I could still utilise this device during my secondary and tertiary education level.

Given an Oxford Dictionary as a gift, this is very much appreciated because I could give it to my sister as currently she is in Year 5 and doesn't have one. I believe this dictionary could help in her studies.

This gadget, as a matter of fact uses both AC and DC current. Meaning to say, I have choices on how to operate it. If I'm in school, I could have the batteries ready and if I'm at home, I could operate it using the current.

Last but not least, this item is available at all leading stores such as Jusco, IOI Mall and Parkson Grand. As the town is quite adjacent to my home, perhaps I could ask my father to buy one for me. I believe my father would not hesitate to buy one for me because he had promised me such an item if I scored with flying colours in my mid-year examination. Indeed, I did.

Based on the above discourse, I am convinced choosing Bistari electronic dictionary is a wise decision. I also believe this device is able to cater my language learning needs.

Q3 : Helping A Poor Woman At A Bus Station

Hari Raya Puasa is a joyous occasion for all Muslims. Basically, it is celebrated for the whole month of Syawal. As the festival draws near, urbanites would make their pilgrimage to their hometowns to be with parents, relatives and old friends.

Last weekend, Faizul was at the bus station. He wanted to go back to his hometown in Pasir Gudang to celebrate Hari Raya Puasa with his family and relatives, expected to fall on the 22nd of September. By coincident, he had a week break so he might as well return to his hometown during the holiday break. He was on cloud nine.

As he was queueing to board the bus, he saw an old woman carrying a basket of vegetables trying to board the same bus as he did. He then, at the drop of a hat, held the basket and assisted the poor old woman to get into the bus. Eventually, the old woman managed to be in the bus.

In the bus, Faizul led the woman to a vacant seat. As good luck would have it, there two seats. Faizul sat next to the woman. They had a friendly chat. The woman thanked Faizul and owed him a debt of gratitude for his benignity. As a matter of fact, she was proud of Faizul who had been so considerate.

At last, the bus arrived at the Pasir Gudang bus station. Faizul got down from the bus to get his parents who had already been waiting for him. He shared his experience with his parents and truly his parents were so proud of him, as proud as a peacock.

Q2B - Choosing A Game - Monopoly

The school holidays are around the corner. You plan to buy a game to play with your friends during the holidays. Which game would you choose? Give reasons.

I would purchase Game Set 1 because I feel Monopoly would possibly be the best and most interesting game for me and perhaps for my friends. We cannot deny the fact that this is one of the popular games and is enjoyed by many especially children like me.

Being able to be played by 3 to 7 children simultaneously, this is an advantage compared to the other games. As I have many friends who want to play this game, then none of us would have to wait.

Being sold at RM100.00, despite it is quite expensive, it's still worth to purchase one as the quality is guaranteed. With colourful board and illustrations plus other game accessories such as the drawing cards and dices, I believe it would sustain our interest and enjoyment.

Last but not least, this game is easily available at all major supermarkets. Well, do you think I really have problems in getting one when supermarkets are abundant nowadays ?

Based on the evidence mentioned above, I see no reason at all why I should not purchase Game Set 1. I am convinced my friends and I would have great enjoyment and pleasance when we play this game during the school holidays.

Sample Essay ( P2Q2B ) : Choosing A Badminton Club

Join Our Badminton Club !
· Activities held every Thursday
· Time : 4.30 p.m.
· Pay RM3.00 per month
· Get lots of exercise
· Bring your own racquet and shuttlecocks
· Play in the school hall


I would choose Badminton Club because I feel this particular club would probably be the best club for me and perhaps for my classmates too as we are keen on badminton.
Being charged at RM3.00 monthly for every new member, I assume the fee is realistic as the club does not provide us with any racquet and shuttlecocks. As good luck would have it, I have my own new Yonex racquet and a dozen of shuttlecocks given by my father recently as my birthday presents.
The time for the training session is fixed on every Thursday at 4.30 p.m. By coincident, I am not engaged with any other activities at this particular hour. Therefore, I am able to turn up for the club activities. More than that, it is held at the school hall. Meaning, after the Thursday school hours, I might as well stay in school and start my badminton activities at 4.30 p.m.
Last but not least, involving in badminton activities enables me to have ample exercises. Obviously, it is good for my health and I don't really need to go jogging on weekends.
Based on what I have mentioned above, I see no reason at all why I shouldn't choose this club for myself. I am optimist I could have great benefits and advantages once I join this club.

Sample Essay ( P2Q3 ) : Witnessing An Accident

It so happened on last Sunday when Devan and his family were on their way to Ayer Keroh , Melaka to visit his grandmother who was seriously ill. Truly, they were a little bit apprehensive about Devan’s grandmother’s condition. They departed at the crack of dawn to avoid the snarl-up because that very Sunday was a weekend holiday.
As they were heading for Ayer Keruh, they saw an accident adjacent to a crossroad out of the blue. They pulled over and got down from their car. A car and a motorcycle were involved in the terrifying accident. As they were approaching the accident scene, they discovered the motorcyclist and the car driver were severely injured. The motorcyclist was lying on the road next to his damaged motorcycle with a bleeding head whereas the driver was trapped in the driver’s seat and seemed unconscious. As good luck would have it, the two victims were still alive.
Devan and his family were down in the dumps. His father at the drop of a hat called up the ambulance and the police. Minutes later, an ambulance and a patrol car arrived at the scene. The paramedics then brought the casualties into the ambulance to be brought to the hospital for further treatment.
At the same time, the policeman spent some time getting some information regarding the accident from Devan’s father. His father cooperated and gave the necessary information.
When everything was over, they resumed their journey. Devan reminded his father to be very vigilant along their journey to Ayer Keroh.

Tips At Your Finger Tips ...

You know something guys,
When you write essays for your UPSR, you should convince the examiners that you are a mature writer who not only can write well but are able to write fluently and proficiently. But then how can you when you have only limited vocabulary list because you seldom read and write. The following is a simple tip on how you can enhance your writing quality. As a matter of fact, there are several words regularly used in most essays in Year 6. The words are suddenly, immediately, happy, sad etc. These words if being replaced with idioms and correctly used, could help in a way enhance the quality of writing for at least. Study the following examples :

1. Suddenly, she saw a young girl shouting for help. --> A bolt from the blue, she saw a young girl shouting for help.

2. They helped the victim immediately. --> They helped the victim at the drop of a hat.

So guys, whenever you are using these common words or phrases in your essay writing, try substitute them with idioms wherever possible and applicable. Consult your teacher for further explanation.
a) suddenly --> a bolt from the blue / out of the blue
b) immediately --> at the drop of a hat / at a drop of a dime
c) happy --> on cloud nine
d) sad --> down in the dumps
e) thankful and appreciating one's good deed --> owed a debt of gratitude
f) near or close to --> adjacent to
g) early morning --> at the crack of dawn

Cheerios. All da best!

Selected Essay Of UPPM 3

Hello guys,


I do have here an essay written by one of our students during the UPPM3. She is Afifah Fatini Bt Sulaiman from 6A1. Her essay deserves 14/15 marks. I am publishing it here so that each and everyone of you can read hers. Maybe her essay is not as good as others from other schools, but I believe for at least she has tried her utmost best to present a mature essay.

PAPER II QUESTION 3, UPPM 3

Helping A Fire Victim

Ain is a kind and helpful girl who often helps the needy. She would always ask for permission from her parents everytime she wants to help a person.

It so happened on one sunny afternoon when Ain was walking home with her family after visiting her grandparents. There saw a house was on fire. At the drop of a hat, Ain's father rushed into the house to rescue the people. As bad luck would have it, he only managed to rescue a girl. They then brought the girl home as the girl was crying bitterly. Ain's father called the fire brigade to help put out the fire.

At home, Ain suggested to her father that they should help the unfortunate girl and her family. The family made a consensus to help the poor girl.

The next day, Ain and her sister collected money and old used clothes from their neighbours. They went from house to house to collect them. They managed to collect plenty of used clothes.

Then, both of them walked home. They gave the items to their mother who then gave them to the poor girl. The girl who was down in the dumps was very happy to be given with the donations. Ain and her family were praised by the girl.

Ain was on cloud nine after helping the girl. The girl owed a debt of gratitude for Ain's good deed. Ain promised to help other people who are in trouble in the future. Her parents were also proud of her, as proud as a peacock to have a committed daughter who loves to help people.

To Be Or Not To Be ....

Salams and hi to all - my students of SK Taman Pasir Putih and those who ardently follow my blog.

Good day to you all. It's nice to have you all as my students, as my colleagues and as my friends despite me still having a small number of "oppositions".

Well, whoever we are, we have responsibilities. We are accountable to our respective duties and tasks. We should be commited to the delegated assignments. It doesn't matter at all from whom do we get the job. It's not important at all how do we get the task. What counts much is how do we accomplish the job. What really matters is do we meet to the standard.

Many regard jobs as a burden when they actually forget that they are being paid for them. They live with excuses and skeptical reasons. They start avoiding extra jobs because they think it's a waste. Oh really? And at the same time, they shouldn't forget that there are times when they still get "extras" without doing anything. So? So each and everyone of us should be thankful coz we have what we want, we have what we wish, we have what we desire though we can't expect to get every single thing in life since Allah is just.

Ask ourselves who do we want to be? A mediocre person who gives the basic and gets the basic? Or to be somebody who wants to get more by giving more? Or to be someone who gives more but wouldn't mind to be given less?

Very well, for now I have a composition to share.

Q2B : You plan to have an activity during the school holidays. Which activity would you choose? Give reasons.

Collecting Seashells

I would choose collecting seashells because I think this particular activity would probably be the best and suitable activity for me and perhaps for my friends during the school holidays. Radish murex, venus comb and checkered bonnet are just few examples of exotic seashells that I have always want to keep for my personal collection.

Eversince I was small, I have always wanted to go to any beach to collect seashells. While there is a beach not far from my home, my father can possibly take me and my friends there in his car. I too have the necessary equiments like the trowel and container so I assume this is going to be an advantage as I don't need to get new ones.

Last but not least, my friends and I can share ideas on how to turn these seashells into decorative items which later can be sold to those who are interested or perhaps being given to someone we like as a meaningful token.

As my final word, I see no reason at all why I should not choose this activity. I believe I can have great excitement and enjoyment with my friends when we start to collect seashells at the beach during the school holidays.

Be The Best, Beat The Rest ...

Hi there,

Really hope ya all are still alive and kicking. Energetic and cheerful. What else, uh? Despite UPSR is coming nearer and nearer, we shouldn't be down in the dumps, should we? Well... let us sustain our efforts so that we achieve our dreams and goals. After all, getting the best in UPSR is our goals, rite?

So, I have here another piece for sharing purposes. Hope you could benefit it.

TWO MISCHIEVOUS BOYS

Both Rama and Choon Seng have always been so mischievous during lessons lately. They think that their final year examination is still far away. For that very reason, they are not worried at all about their exam preparations.

It so happened last Monday when as usual they sat next to each other at the back of the class. As a matter of fact, the back seats were their choice as any teacher would not notice them should they play the fool or misbehave. Coincidentally, it was the Geography class. They seemed to be bored with the lesson. The teacher looked commited wtih the teaching but they just did not bother about her. Instead, they did not pay any attention at all.

Whilst the teacher was sketching a map on the board, they started to fight with each other. Initially, it was just kind of fooling around. However, the fight turned to be serious when both of them started to use pencils as swords. As bad luck would have it, Rama accidentally poked Choon Seng's arm and his arm started to bleed. Choon Seng cried bitterly in pain.

Their teacher turned around and saw the incident. She, at the drop of a hat, took the two boys to the headmaster's office. After a short interrogation by the headmaster, the two boys were punished with a cane. Rama and Choon Seng were ashamed of themselves.

After the incident, both of them felt regretful for what they had done. They promised to be better than before. They wanted to sit in front and behave like other good students.

Hard To Say I'm Sorry ...

Salams and hi to all,

I was in Straits Meridian Hotel, Malacca when I wrote this post. I missed my lessons and students since today and will be missing them tomorrow. I didn't have any choice. Someone may substitute the lessons. I knew that. Nevertheless, I was feeling a little bit demotivated despite having friends around. Not all available would please me. Sometimes when I wanted something badly, it just didn't work. Sometimes when I was desperately in need of someone to listen to me, they just didn't stand before me. At the end of the day, I found myself like an "incomplete" creature. Lost. Mmm.. I should be thankful, rite? :-)

So my students, how do you do? Any improvements? Hopefully, huh! UPSR is just round the corner. Better be prepared for the best. Practise more and more coz practice makes perfect even though we know nobody is perfect. I believe in you all.

Last but not least, it's hard to say I'm sorry but I have to. Sorry if I'm not there when you need me. Don't worry. I'll keep on trying my best to prepare you for the exam. It's worth to work hard and smart, indeed.

Till then, all the best in everything you do....
Just me,
Sir Roslan

Here I Am ...

Hi guys,
Whazzups? How do you spend your three-day school holidays, uh? Some of you seem to spend your time just staying home with families. Some of you out there perhaps are at certain places visiting your relatives, attending wedding ceremonies, touring etc etc. Anyway, don't forget your notes, lessons, assignments and others. Very well, I have here another essay sample for you to read. Hopefully it would be a good guidance for you all.

Oppsss!!! BTW(By The Way), I'm quite happy coz lately I had few responses from my students and I presume this is a good sign. I hope in future I'd receive numerous responses particularly from students pertaining to my writings and thoughts.

An Unexpected Tragedy

Hari Raya Puasa has always been a celebration long-awaited by Karim and his friends every year. This is the moment when they could enjoy playing fireworks despite them being advised by their parents not to play with.

It so happened on last Sunday when Karim , his friends and all Muslims celebrated Hari raya. Karim wouldn't bother about his new clothes or shoes. Instead, he wanted to spend his first day of Hari Raya playing fireworks with his friends.

After informing his friends about his so-called smart plan, that very morning they gathered at an agreed spot. It was near the bamboo trees adjacent to a small field, just nice for them to enjoy their activities. They worked hand in hand cutting the bamboos exactly like they wanted. Finally the pieces of bamboos were ready. Without further delay, Karim had some gunpowder on his palm and slowly filled the hollow part of the bamboos with it.

As Karim tried to complete the process, a bolt from the blue there was a loud explosion. It happened in a split second. The three poor children could not figure out what really had happened. Seconds later, discovering their legs and hands were bleeding, they started to weep in pain. They had burns on their hands and legs. It seemed to be a nightmare for them because they had never experienced such. Indeed , it was a tragedy.

As good luck would have it, their parents came in no time after being informed by some villagers who happened to notice the incident. The three boys were rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment. They had no choice other than staying in beds for a couple of days. They regretted for their foolish acts and hoped that was the first and the last ever they did ridiculous thing in their life for they had to celebrate Hari Raya at the hospital when others were celebrating it at home merrily with families, neighbours and relatives. One thing they were pretty sure - the tragedy was a matter of fact a good lesson for them.

Make Them. Make What?

Salam and good day to everyone especially to my students, family and friends.
I feel nice to be able to continue blogging in spite of work and time constraints. I do hope you guys still enjoy my simple writing and thoughts. To myself, I regard such as kinda simple yet effective therapy to "heal" me. Hehehe ....
You know something? There are people who used to blame circumstances for what they are. Alaaahh.. like what many say " Dah takdir, dah nasib. Nak buat cam mana, kan? Keadaan dah macam tu. Terima je lah " Well, personally I don't believe in circumstances and conditions unless you have planned , put your utmost effort, and finally performed your prayers. So? so those who are able to get on in this world are actually those who used to get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they fail to find them, they make them. Yes ! They make them. They create them. They make them happen like they want.
And you guys out there ... how much have you made circumstances for yourselves? How much have you created promising circumstances for you or even for your loved ones? Think 'bout it, huh.

Till then. Bubbyes. *Happy Father's Day to myself.

* ... coz nobody wishes me. Pretty bad. :-(

Jadilah orang luar biasa

Salam dan hai kepada semua terutamanya murid-murid saya di Tahun 6 A1 dan 6A2, SK Taman Pasir Putih, Pasir Gudang.
Apa khabar? Mesti penat, kan? Ya lah.... apa tidaknya. Hari-hari belajar untuk mendapatkan yang terbaik. Kalau ada waktu rehat pun, mungkin Ahad. Itu pun kadangkala terpaksa ke sekolah pada sebelah pagi untuk kelas tutorial dengan saya selama tiga jam. Begitulah... kerana hanya usaha luar biasa saja yang boleh menghasilkan keputusan luar biasa walaupun kita ni orang biasa saja.
Tapi kali ni saya ingin sangat melihat murid-murid saya menjadi orang luar biasa. Bukanlah nak jadi orang luar biasa tu yang boleh tarik bas dengan tali diikat pada janggut atau leher. Tidak juga saya suruh kamu semua jadi orang luar biasa yang boleh makan kaca lampu.
Sebenarnya nak jadi orang luar biasa tidaklah sesusah mana pun. Paling tidak buat lebih daripada biasa. Itu pun dah dikira luar biasa. Tak gitu?
Saya teringat kata-kata motivasi seorang penulis berbangsa Amerika yang lahir pada tahun 1856. Dia kata ...
"Sebuah mesin boleh melakukan kerja yang dipikul oleh 50 orang biasa tapi kerja yang ditanggung oleh seorang yang luar biasa tidak kan termampu dilakukan oleh 50 mesin."
Hmm ... boleh kamu semua fikirkan sedalam-dalamnya maksud kata-kata hikmat beliau? Eh Eh... tak yah lah ya. Kalau boleh faham pun dah memadai. Lebih baik fikirkan bagaimana kamu semua boleh tingkatkan gred pencapaian kamu dalam UPSR akan datang, lebih-lebih bagi subjek Bahasa Inggeris.
Ok lah, setakat ni dulu. Nanti saya tulis lagi ye.

Updating Isn't An Easy Job Indeed

Salam and hi again to all,
Updating the present is quite a tiring job. A tedious process when ideas could not be triggered due to failure of some neurons to "communicate". Yet, it is a must especially when you don't wanna lose readers and "fans". So? So I have updated something. Alaaahh.. it's just the banner. Well, to many it's nothin'. To some, it's common. To me, it reminds. Reminding that every little thing you do can always be great stuffs should you do it in great ways. Very well, the picturesque photos are just a hybrid of three comprehensible elements - flowers, an old bicycle and a couple. Nevertheless, for one like me who hungers for meaningful interpretations, these three graphics have been used as an illustration which anybody can simply define or interpret, whateva.
To be frank, flowers can never bloom on their own. Yeah, they have to have the stems, the roots, the leaves etc to bloom. The same applies to the bicycle. It's not about its uses. It's about the parts of the bicycle need to be connected to each other to make it functioning. And the same applies to the couple. None of us can live together without getting together. The morale is flowers and parts of the plant need to share. The parts of the vehicle need to share and we.... yes, we need to share and more than that, we need to care of each other.
Cheerio...

Making My Debut

Salams and hi to all who know me, little or much. Is it too late to be a blogger? Well, I don't think so. It's never gonna be late for anything good. For me, start right away should you feel you need to.
So... what's really my motive of writing? Yeah, it's not just chesting out what I feel. It's more towards my contribution to my students who need my hints and helps as far as their learning is concerned. I am aware that learning periods in school are insufficient. As teaching and learning can take place anywhere and anytime, I feel that students and teachers ought to have an alternate teaching and learning platforms and dimensions. So, I do hope via my simple blog, I could share as much as I could with my current students, in fact with anybody, related materials. Despite me lacking enough time to update my blog and stuff, I hope in a way I could still provide relevant materials as often as I could.
To my future readers and visitors, do comment as frank as you wish, yet bound to rules and values. Cya soon.
