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.
