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.

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.

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.
