Happy New Year to everyone!! well, happy as it is. but just can't understand why is there no holidays here in Johor. Back to Language Games, I think the jersey is really great, if the UTM logo isn't there. but, it's still great compared to some that we had bought years ago. Hmmm, Mr. G, do you have any that is without the UTM logo? Oh, by the way, are we going to wear it on both days? does this mean we have to get 2 ?

Will doooooo....waiting for teslian nite!
Woohoo..
laters...

Happy new year!!!yup, really hope for a happy happy year especially starting from our suppose-be-cool Teslian Nite then move along to jeng..jeng..jeng..what else? The long awaited language Camps! Hmm..by now we should have meetings with our team members so that we'll have a clearer view on what to expect from the camp. So...perhaps meetings can be done on Tues afternoon, after Lang.Games? If not, then i urge everyone, pls update your teammates on the plans/preparation (maybe some mysterious dance steps..hik..hik..).The less cahllenging thing to do now is to collect your "items" for the games, example, Milo packets, toothpaste boxes...etc,then want to be Santa Rina? Do save your pocket money to buy extra sweets/gifts for the children.If not, at least we'll have "extra" food to share in the 'touring bus' to Felda places.gah..gah...gah...

JC aka Shi Ing

wheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! i'm still in d post xmas mood. dunno wad 2 do wif myself! yo shi ing! fun n simple nursery rhymes may jus b our secret ingredient to our brewing camp! we string a few up, add in some cool shakes (as porposed by riece) and stir well. beats prof snape's poison class! yeah, i just found my name the other day in the 1st camp. jan 17th isit?? hmm....kinda near, considering d amount of preparatory work to be done! could i ask for sugeestions on our programme book? would u ppl prefer something cute or serious?

Hello everyone... I am glad that i could join you people now. Thanks to Mr. G. for his help. It's Christmas eve..so, what are you people planning to do? We, my other three housemates and I (Sue, WLing, YFen, n Mich) will be good girls. We will be doing Dr. Seth's assignment, that sounds so pethatic huh!! Anyway, we had celebrated our Christmas day much earlier...I've got a packet of chocolate from Wan Ling..wanna share? Come to my room...hahahaha...Opps!! It should be Ho hoHOho....
*Merry Christmas* to all my friends, especially for those who are celebrating: My Roomie (Alariece), Sue, Lay Kian...n the rest out there...PLIS: Where's my present??

pleaseeeeee.....stop making my life miserable...can you please appear at the gameplan thing!!!!

aloooo....stop making my life difficult!!!!

heeloooo....i am going to do a very stupid thing...test..test...why can't i get into this thing correctly!!!!

yeehahhh...finally you guys can hear from me after a veryyyy....loooong...technical problem on my side. is it just me or what?i am still vague about this whole language camp thing. The only thing that I am very certain of is that i am in the first group of the laguage camp. I mean, i got this idea that each one of the facilitators will have to be in charge of a game...does that mean that each one of us will have to prepare the lesson plan as well as the materials and students handout for the rest of the facilitators?help....save me from this torment of feeling dumb or should I say unbriefed (if there's such a word)!

Yes, good idea there Shi Ing! hmm...I thought the last camp did use songs and even danced around with the kids? So, i assumed the kids will love the songs plus extra "show" (Gan's dancesteps maybe) ;) Oh, i also suggest that we use pop songs too. Well..kids nowadays are quite advanced in selecting their favourite everyday tunes! Britney or N Sync anyone???haha, we played 3 games in a row today. Phuh!Very tired..the games were interesting. Luckily got exercise a bit to defeat the "brrr...sejuk..." environment in the classroom

Will do Mr G. We will be more sustainable and user friendly.
Got idea for songs - why dont we use nursery rhymes or kindergarden songs like 3 blind mice or Jack and Jill.
;O ! What do you guys think?
Feedback welcome always!
JC aka Shi Ing

FYI
1. The links to archives of previous entries, October and November, 2002, are broken. It will take a while for me to fix that problem.
2. The Game Master will be incharged of the program books and lesson plans for the language camps. She will assign everybody with games to prepare. You have to prepare a lesson plan, student handout and an abstract of the game assigned to you. Make sure the soft copy documents that you submit to the Game Master are free from spelling and grammatical errors. And they should also be READER FRIENDLY especially a 12 years old kid.

Hello, everybody.
Wow the pressure is building in this room. People relax. Btw i feel like i am like lost in space (the great unknown of cyber realm) because i cant seem to catch the thread of the conversation but dont worry i am a fast catcher up. Hey if i play quidditch for Gryfinddor - i think i will find a first team basis and Harry Potter will be warming my place on the bench.
Well i am cool with the dates and everything but i feel that we are moving just a tad too sloooow guess must all the celebration mood like me too.
Well i am pretty cool with everything - for once it is nice to follow rather than lead. It is a big headache to coordinate everything.
Songs was the hot topic from Aishah today's boring class.
What kind of theme are you looking for? R&B, ballad, slow rock or jellabies song? ;)
Victor, what can i say, tsk tsk tsk...you make Mr G feel really bad! Hey Mr. G you want benchmarkers you should benchmark the girls rather than the 'guy'...sorry Zam no offense! You get genuine feedback from us! Right girls! (Back me up here)
Guess what - Macy Gray is singing a Christmas song on MIXFM...weird.
Gonna go to Middle Earth in another 10 minutes...see you later!
JC aka Shi Ing

Finally, another noisy gal joining after repenting sins outside of the world! ;)

Problems solved!

test

Dear Victor, do you have to test so many times? Hmmm, it seems as though everybody has got the wrong perception. We actually thought that we will be in only 1 group. nevertheless, it is better that we are going to be in 1 group rather than what we thought, that volunteers for the second camp. I don't think there would be anyone in that case. Hmmm, looking forward to the camp. Wonder which one will I be in.

Ok, let's see if this works outside Mr.G's office. This should be my second entry apart from the first one we did when registering for blogger. Anyway, i wanted to ask Miss Aishah about the language Camp thing and when we are going to have the first meeting, but i did that already in class and so here i am again wondering which camp i will be sent to. And i am glad that Mr. G has been using me as a benchmark in the class, although i prefer to be less noticed. Hopefully the attention seekers in our class will take over my role soon. But now i guess all i can say is i don't want to be noticed. And the red T-shirt jersey is really catchy.

test 2

Test

Hi everyone, I am Li Min using Alariece's blogger. Desperate case!! Dear Mr. G., I have been trying to log into the blogger's account. There isn't any 'Gameplan' box at the right corner. There are only the 'Create new' and 'Sign in' thingy. Ermm, as far as I am concerned, I have accepted the invitation million years ago. So, what shall I do? By the way, I would like to thank Miss Yee Fen for informing me about the failure, 'N' Miss Alariece for borrowing her blogger. :)
For the rest of my friends, 'How was Raya celebration?' Collected lots of 'green pows'? Share share ya!! Baizura,...Thanks for the raya kuih. It was yummy!! Hope that I will be able to sign in soon.........Still surviving: Yeo Li Min. :)

wow!Mr G has selected the games for the camp.again, WOW coz' the date for the first camp has been confirmed.Hmmm..very glad that we'll work as ONE big team and not two. oh yes, so the 'volunteers' for the second camp will get extra points huh?I hope everyone can join in the second camp also.Yes..I know it'll be hard especially when we have to rush for our PSM.Anyway, we shall discuss any doubts or express our opinions in the next class.Hopefully, less problems so that we can start to concentrate on the programmes for the 3-day camp.Felda Tenggaroh 4...sounds challenging!

Assalamualaikum....n hello everyone...
i couldn't post my entry. it's ok and i'm trying again.
well...it's time to crack our head again....about the camp, it means that we are compulsory to go for one camp only? TQ but about the new participation marking scheme? Are we increasing the percentage? About the 'anak angkat' issue, it won't be a matter to me to stay with a foster family because i heard from friends who went to the previous camps, they were very nice. But if i've been given a chance i'd prefer to stay in school because of certain reasons that are quite hard to be explained.
We have about a month to prepare for the camp, we have quite a lot to do, and oh yeap about the game that my partner and i had proposed...it seems like the same as Great minds do not think alike as listed by Mr. G. heheh..so do we have to propose a new game? or can we just considered that our game has been selected for the camp? How about the marks? even Mr. G had confessed that our game is one of his favourite...heheh..

Language Camp 1
Date: 17-19 January 2003
Venue: Felda Tenggaroh 4

Language Camp 2
Date: 24-26 January 2003
Venue: Felda Bukit Aping Barat

Came back to Skudai from holiday. But, the blogger here sounds a bit not so positive when i just logged in. May be everyone is under pressure, i guess....SMILE!! Try to prepare the camp with leisure mood, i know ESP assign and SPT assign are forcing us this two weeks while we are supposed to enjoy the holiday especially Malays who supposed to celebrate the festival. SMILE=)

woah! sounds like fun to me! d whole gang gets to go camping!!!!!(scary?? hehe!) yeah...d preparation will definitely b of some hurdle for us. but aren't we used to it by now? hmm...before i forget .....SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! back to d camp....i really do wonder wad happenned durin d previous ones. i've heard dat d students enjoyed d programme so much! it's really cool that we're planning such an event for them to look forward to. especially since english is getting extremely important. erm, another thing, MrG, is the school we're heading for subsidised wif english newspapers? i dunno, but maybe we can use d papers for our games n such? just a suggestion. wad do u think?

hi MR G...on behalf of Shi Ing, she said she never get any invitation from you and that is why she has not appeared so far...is it possible for you to re-send an invitation for her to join blogger?? thank you

okok...i get you Mr G...but when is the date and the venue?? i need to know coz i have an important programme on 14th Jan, Sunday night....so i need to know about the date and venue..hmm, perhaps i m not up to date yet...as alariece has mentioned the proposed date is 17th onwards...so can anyone tell me when is the exact date?? i am so happy that we are together as a team coz we can have all teh fun without being separated...well, the motivation is here...hehe...thank you MR G....we love you so much for being so considerate and understanding....anyway, wish all of you out there a Happy holiday and selamat hari raya....for those who will be celebrating their birthday, Happy Birthday and remember to cook for your mum, coz that's the day she was having a hard time pushing us out...OOPSSSSSSSSSSS.....hehe.....

START BEING BUSY
I have made up my mind. You only have to go to ONE camp but you can volunteer to go to another one just for fun plus 2 extra marks (under New Participation Mark Scheme). You already know the dates and venues. Your may start working by securing sponsorships and planning the activities. Compulsory games are:
1. Bingo. (Think of 25 most popular animals in the zoo)
2. Word Builder a.k.a. Scrabble for Poor People
3. Treasure Hunt
4. Skits / Short Dramas
5. Jigsaw Reading
6. Great Minds Do Not Think Alike (Country, animal, food..)
7. Win, Lose or Draw
8. Extreme Dictation
9. Who am I? (Ice breaking activity)
10. Flag design and group cheer (Team building activity)

p.s.
Aida Jasni, Harlina Khalidi, Masnizah Mr, Ng Si, Noraishah Mak, NurulA A, Susanna Dd and Yeo Lm. Who are these people? Half of the semester has gone by but there's no trace of them on Gameplan Blog. Maybe they have problems with the Internet. Tell them I am here to help.

Heiiyyaaa.....well I don't really geddit..we were supposed to be devided into two groups and everyone of us will go to the camp once..but if we are going together..so we have to conduct the camp twice!! Is that what is really going on here. I just need some clarification on that. OK. if that's really the case, if i'm not mistaken, correct me if i'm wrong...we should only accomplish a camp rite..a camp. just ONE camp and i'm truly agree that everyone of us should go together but why can't we just go for one camp.Why must we organize two camps? I know it's gonne b fun..we gonna love it but for the whole lot truth and i guess everybody realize it too we have so much to do..well PM Khairi's project..doesn't that rings the bell..and if u allow me to go on I can make u a list of workloads that weight as heavy as PSM II. Let me make it straight here..i'm not complaining or blabbering but i just wanna know can't we just make the already coplicated things here, straight? but if we really need to go for two camps for our course assesment then i guess there's nothing i can do..go for the camps and enjoy them while u can.... till then guys..tata.
