.Post-Mortem for the Two Camps

Date : 28 January 2003
Time : 11.00 am
Venue : C15 202
Attendance : Mr Ghazali and 20 students (Shahrizam was absent)
Agenda : 1) payment for the red flaming jersey
2) post- mortem session

1. Payment for the red jersey
-Mr G reminded the students to pay Rm 15 for the jersey to Noraishah.
-Aishah told the class that only one person did pay for the red jersey and she was Farah.

2. Post-mortem
Mr G asked for differences between the two camps, problems encountered by the facilitators and suggestions for future camps.
1. Yang Wan Ling- unconduciveness of the hall at the West Aping Hill as the participants had their meals and activities at the same place. Apart from that, at the 2nd camp, the Felda people served food using polystyrene containers that was not good for reducing pollutions. She concluded that the first camp was better compared to the first one. Apart from that, she suggested that we should provide gifts for all students not only for the best one.
2. Susanna Dalton Doel- The first camp was better in a way of students' management and the environment there.
3. Alariece Christynne Tay- She thought that students at the second camp were better as they were more active and did response better than the participants of the first camp.
4. Masnizah Mohd Ramli- problems with lodging at the second camp and there were even not enough classrooms during the second camp.
5. Nurul Atiqah Ahmad-hated the idea of took off shoes before entering the hall during the second camp.
6. Wong Yee Fen- asked for suggestion from Mr G on how to provide the more conducive hall for the students. Mr G did reply that actually he preferred the West Aping Hill's stage because there were two entrances.
7. Aida Jasni- she thought that for all rounder, Tenggaroh 4 was better.
8. Yeo Li Min- stressed on equality while treating the students and did mention about one of the facilitator who did show much concern to one particular participant. Mr G interrupted that this might give good lesson to all the Teslians when they are becoming teachers later; equal attention to students.
9. Gan Ek Hern- suggested the same idea proposed by Wan Ling regarding the gifts for all students.
10. Roslinda Shaharudin- suggested for uniformity among facilitators during the 3 days camp and she thought there is a need to provide the first aid kits for next camps.
11. Noraishah Mohamad Ali Kamil- apologized for the facilitators in the first camp as she did not distribute the materials for the games earlier. Apart from that, she did mention about lodging and she suggested that lodging for facilitators should be nearer to the activity place. She realized that the relationships between people from the first camp were friendlier compared to the second one.
12. Mr Ghazali- he enjoyed these two camps and did mention " these were livelier than the previous ones"…..He thought that for the drama presentation (he was the co-faci of Fighting Lion) he failed to give opportunity to good students.

Post-mortem ended at 12.10 pm.

Hello again everyone!Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone!Sob..sob..Sue & I became 'Mak Guards' here. Didn't go back, want to take over Jusco actually! hik..hik.. Gosh...actually i've typed some amazing stories in this blogger thingy days ago but i couldn't post and publish it!Well, I just clicked on post, so the moment i did that, all gossips MIA and i was so fed up to type everything again. Now that explains why you guys didn't see my messages for a very long time. ok then, just to express my delayed comments about the camps.....Like tiqah said, really had fun managing the kids, partly because they really pay attention to us,akak-akak & bang-bang Faci, and also we know that we created a fun atmosphere, everybody would enjoy and had a good laugh. My favourite exercise session was the Las Ketchup dance of course, and my fav. game was the "where does the wind blow?". hehe...really funny when the kids didn't know exactly how to play the game, but instead they had a funny way to exchange places. To know more about the "wind" scene from tenggaroh, you guys better check out my acting scene with Bang Shah-all just to impersonate the kids!The drama presentation from both camps were very cool. Really amazed at how fast the kids could memorised their lines and even expressed thenselves creatively.Truthfully, I doubted that the kids could impressed us but yes, I was wrong. Phew!Just can't describe how nervous I felt when the kids wanted to perform. I didn't want them to feel bad if they couldn't even remember their complete lines. So the moral of the story is, always believe that your students can do it!-of course with our patience and creative minds :) Ole..ole..ole..ole..Dragon 2x .Overall commemts: I love the camps! the food was marvellous (ehem...the sambal belacan actually), the accomodation was ok, the people were friendly and helpful (of course they enjoyed our loud laughter) and to top it all, the children were such a sport! I hope i can meet them again in the future. by that time, perhaps I'll re-invent the games. who knos, Mr.G rap tunes will be in the list? oh yeah..,Teslians DEFINITELY look good in the red jerseys. So, any modelling offer out there?

good afternoon....i just had my lunch with tqa and dee at mak mah. once again i want to tell you guys that i had a serious cough + flu. edot is missing as i want to get my medicine from her. i just has one question to ask. about the jersey, we should pay right as it is not free? how much should we pay and to whom shoud we give the money?. i'm just curious as we were not be informed about the payment of the jersey until yesterday class when puan.noraishah said that only farah has paid to her. most of us were confused with the $10 that we have paid that i was informed that the money was for the hampers. can somebody plz explain to me? and for mas the ant...welcome to blogger.com. and for your information masmonah....this mama lion is always hungry but she can still keep fit and slim and look marvellous all the time. the secret? IT'S A SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!...HAHAHAAAGHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHHA.....that's all for today..chow!!!!

p/s: to mr.g...i had post 3 entries and received at least 3 comments from edot, farah and tqa. unfortunately, my name is not in the name lists of this site. maybe there is something wrong with my registration. but i just want to inform you that you can check all my entries+comments from others by looking at the list of upsaid members. my username is LINA. thank you very much!!!!AUMMMM

hai gang!i hope that it's not too late to comment or express my feelings towards both of the language camps.for your information, this is my first time to join language camp and i find that it is interesting to be a facilitator. i never been a faci before.every students will follow my instructions and the best part is what ever i say is correct and they cannot obey me just because i am their faci so that i have the power to control them.its really great and i really enjoyed the feeling of being the leader of the kids!hehe..the reason i am saying this is because even my own little brothers hard to listen to me! and i hate it when my brothers disobey me and even worse they will tell my mum and my mum will protect them from me!so that is why i like to control the kids at the language camps because i have the power!hahaha!!
in the first language camp, i find that my students are quite good.and sometimes i'm quite impressed of them.this is because they know how to play almost all of the games.so it's easy to give them instruction and especially the rules of the games.there's no need to repeat and repeat the same instructions.my students are very fast learners.even the quiet girls have good brains actually but maybe they are too shy to talk during the activities.i still remember the things that make me impressed.during the spy code game, there was one girl (passive girl) actually came out with the word aromatheraphy and the spelling is correct! i'm so impressed! and during drama practice the kids were able to give ideas especially for the props. i admit that at that time when aishah came to my class to offer manila cards for the props, i rejected because i thought i dont need any.but luckily my students have brilliant ideas to make props from the manila cards and i have to run to aishah to get the manila cards. so that's all for my comments.to be continued...

Game Jersey
I am trying to secure fund for the next language camp. In order to do that I am selling the Game Jersey for RM23. Some people said TESLians look good in it. They want to look good also. Check this out: BUY BUY GAME JERSEY NOW!

Tenggaroh 4 Language Camp Report by Michelle Koh Moh Cheng

An English Language Camp was held in SRK FELDA Tenggaroh 4, Mersing, two hours ride from Johor Bahru, starting from 17 until 19 of January. This game-based programme was jointly organized by FELDA officials and fourth year TESL students from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai. This camp is one of two camps organized this semester.
Apart from promoting English as a fun subject and not something to be dreaded, this camp aims to introduce language games as an alternative to learning English. With the easy-to-play and ready-to-go games taught, the year six students here would have the chance to not only have fun, but also practice the language more frequently outside classroom time. This would also give the organizers an opportunity to develop, reflect and expand on their application of methodologies in classroom teaching.
101 year six school children from the 7 Tenggaroh areas here took part in this camp. They were specially selected by their respective schools and most of them have gone for the previous Language Camp held last year. This camp is actually a series of camps held since . 10 facilitators took part in this camp, out of the 20 organizers. The other half of the class would be conducting a similar camp in FELDA Bukit Aping on 24 until 26 January. FELDA officials, school teachers and also RELA guards were on constant duty throughout the camp. We were also accompanied by four lecturers who have been involved in the previous programmes.
The camp was wonderful right from the start. We were warmly greeted by the officials in the school upon arriving and served delicious welcoming tea. The programme then started off in the evening with a motivational talk. Here, the facilitators integrated short sketches with explanation to gauge the participants' interest. 10 groups were formed, guided by one facilitator each. The students were a bit shy during the ice-breaking activities carried out within their groups but warmed up as they formed cheers and drew their flags. Their ideas and enthusiasm were modest but it showed an early stage of teamwork and effort. We had to chip in a few 'kicks' of their own as well when they strayed and showed signs of restlessness. The first day ended with a presentation of flags and cheers from each group from which was a truly creative and energetic performance.
With the basis of positive teamwork and eagerness, the participants were very eager to get up early for the morning exercise. As the groups are named after animals, they enjoyed imitating animals' movements into a series of exercise. For the rest of the day, we separated into our groups to play 'games' in classrooms. Some of the games played are the guessing game of 'Who am I?', the vocabulary and imagination builder of 'The Thing', the very noisy 'Win, Lose or Draw', the serious 'Spy Code' and the rough 'Changing Places'. We only gathered during mealtimes, after intervals, for a supermarket game called 'Prices' and also the popular and energetic evening exercise to 'The Ketchup Song'. We also integrated many children songs complete with actions and their favourite would be 'Boogie Woogie'. By the midday, we could really feel the energy building within the camp. Cheers grew louder and the participants, hungrier. This is of no problem as we are well fed with six meals a day! By nighttime, exhaustion seeped in but the highlight of the camp was just about to begin. Each group was given a plot to act where we would have to come up with the final plot. Active discussion took place almost immediately, but of course, there were the passive ones, who are understandably shy. It was quite a task for us to initiate the enthusiasm as the participants are of mixed level of English proficiency. Some of us resorted to writing the script and even choose the actors. We had to make sure everyone has a role to play and at least a sentence to say. I should think everyone slept like a log after that.
However, I was proved wrong the next morning! After we gathered one hour later than as planned due to electricity failure and the rain, we were told by a couple of the participants that they purposely got up in the middle of the night just to have a chance to bathe! So amazed by their eagerness and their constant early arrivals we were both touched and delighted. Drama practice went on with more noise pollution by the facilitators compared to the participants. With much encouragement, the students grew more confident and generated much better ideas than us! Before presenting their acting skills, we tried to reduce their anxiety by having a treasure hunt. By this time, we could hear them shouting their cheers from blocks away. As the grand finale approaches, the hall was filled up with invited guests, concerned parents and the troop. It was a colourful event with the participants dressed up as animals, aliens and even an apple tree! The facilitators were even more nervous than the participants. We had an interesting and amusing show of dramas with students trying very hard to recall their scripts and facilitators whispering instructions very loudly from the backstage. We ended the camp with the presentation of hampers to the top three winners of the drama presentation and also winners of specific categories.

It is truly hoped that the participants take on a positive attitude towards learning English and had also improved on their ability in the language. Eventhough the students are of varied proficiency level, it can be seen that they had enjoyed the camp by showing such enthusiasm. Previous camps have been quite a success as the officials as well as the students have requested for future camps and in this case, these students were able to join two such camps. They were also able to request for games played previously and this definitely confirms our belief. Special gratitude should be given to the officials who have been very helpful throughout the camp. Our lecturers also deserve our credits for being supportive and also as our constant supervisors and photographers. It is said that there is no line between playing and learning.

Sorry for the long publishing but had to do it!
MrG this is it from me...tell me if i need to edit it!
Happy holidays!

Bukit Aping Language Camp Report by Ng Shi Ing
Last weekend, an English Language camp was held at Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Aping, Kota Tinggi for standard six students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Lok Heng, Sekolah Kebangsaan Waha and Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Aping. It was a collaboration between the 4th year TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) students from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Felda Bukit Aping Barat to help spread the awareness of the importance of the English Language to the primary students. The 3-day camp was held from the 24th of January till the 26th of January 2003.

The English Language camp collaboration has been on going for three years and it has received strong support from the Education faculty of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and the Felda officers.

There were 14 4th year TESL students and 2 lecturers that ran the camp with more than 100 participants from three different schools making the camp a success. Many activities were carried out to capture the students¡¯ attention and at the same time trying to drill into the students that learning English is not only educational yet fun.

Before the activities were carried out, the students were divided into 10 groups. This is to allow easy control of the TESL students over the primary students. Each group had a totem to represent such as domestic and wild animals namely lion, bear, ant or even cats. Each group has to attach a certain criteria or character to their totem and the students came out with creative characteristics to bring their totems alive for example ¡®smart wolves¡¯ and ¡®fighting lions¡¯. Not only that, the students needed to create a group cheer to represent their team.

Most of the activities that were carried out were done in games format. The language games were created by the 4th year TESL students as part of fulfilling one of their course requirements. Some of the games that were cooked up by the students were ¡®Word Bingo¡¯ where words were used instead of numbers. This was one of the students¡¯ favorite as it brought out the kids competitive edge to try to complete the game before their friends. Other games included word formation activities and sentence construction games to help the kids to utilize English to the maximum.

Besides that, English nursery rhymes such as ¡®Jack and Jill¡¯ and ¡®3 blind mice¡¯ were taught as well to the students to liven the environment. English children songs were also introduced and taught to the students with songs ranging from ¡®Top of the World¡¯ to ¡®Boogie Woogie¡¯ and ¡®Do-Re-Mi¡¯. The number one song that remained on top of the chart for 3 days consecutively was ¡®Boogie Woogie¡¯. The students enjoyed the action that went with the songs thus making it their favorite song for the camp.

Other sources of motivation were also included in the camp besides introducing games and songs. The other motivation was giving away hampers to each group for each category best suited them such as ¡®the most cheerful group¡¯, ¡®the most polite group¡¯ and others. Not only that, all the students in the group were supposed to present a drama with the given plot. The kids needed to finish the ending for each plot and present it to their friends. The best group who presented the best drama would win a hamper.
All in all, the language camp was a success as it motivated the 4th year TESL students to contribute continuously to the society in educating the younger children and youth to the importance of using the English Language and it open the minds of the primary students about how fun learning English could be.

My pimples are alright now lar...lina lina....
Btw ... happy CNY!
Will be bringing back mandarin oranges...
Come to our house to sample some!

Dearest friends....suddenly we had a class this morning,actually i was quite lazt to attend the class but meeting with you guys in this class is something difference compared to other classes. most of you are more lively, energetic,funny and this is something that light the class with all of our laughter and funniest jokes from everyone of you.not forgetting mr.g as the most happening lecturer i've ever met. thank you very much sir for your patience in handling all the 'hyperactive' students that may give some lecturers a great headache.for the post-mortem, we also managed to make the post-mortem something livelier than the usual post-mortem which is usually something serious and tense.i want to apologize to some of you as i realized that maybe i am one of the person who gave less contribution for this camp and congratulate the rest for giving such a great commitment as to make sure that our camp is the best camp ever. ohhh!!! before i left i would like to make a suggestion. as mr.g said that our camp is the best camp, can mr.g make a cd copy of the things that have been recorded during the lg.camp as it will be something memorable for all of us after we left utm. that's all for today. happy chinese new year to all of my chinese friends (to li min and jc, what's up with ur pimples?) and happy holiday!!!!bye..

people, no matter how 1 camp's environment is better than the other one. i always believe that the one that you had great time with your group is the one that is the best. when i gave my comments in class, i really hope no one took it personally. first of all, i was not in the camp(2nd one) long enough to feel for the kids. even if the place was less condusive i believe the kids made it up to you ppl. i think it didn't matter to you when you have the lovely kids with you. all you wanted was the best for them and not how the place should be at its best for you. so, i know each and every one of us enjoyed both the camps. one more thing, Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai to all the Chinese and happy holidays to those who are not celebrating Chinese New Year.

PHOTOS
So, you think you are beautiful. See your picture now. Click the image.

huh, finally we came back from the camp. That day we waited until 6:30pm as the bus driver sesat for 3 hours. Right get into the very cool-weather bus, took out blanket and slept for one hour. The 3 days 2 nights camp passed very fast. In the twinkling of eyes, it's overed. I like the weather there the most, the air is fresh although it's cool but better than hot and sunny, right people? All the kids are cute and actually love to be with them very much. Hope the rest of you will really enjoy the 2nd camp this weekend and have fun with all the kids. It's a bit tired for sure, but it's worth. Really!! And for you guys who are going to present your thesis this tomorrow, GOOD LUCK. I'm still preparing for it as only will present this Friday. Anyway, at least we get over this 4 credits headache subject, then, we can concentrate in ESP project then. Time flies, we are going to graduate soon, another 3 months in Johor only if including our teaching practical.....SMILE ALWAYS! =)

wrapping up the hampers was a really great experience for me. Going shoopping, searching for the lowest price to serve the budget. and when you get to save a lot, you feel so good. then, when you start to wrap, you just don't feel like stopping. I am really sorry that I only got to help with the first five. Too bad Lina didn't get to turn up, if not, we might get to see more shapes compared to the ones that we had. But, the hampers look great anyway. Congratulations, people. we are now ready with all the materials and prizes ready. I've got the programme book too. It sounds ok to me. at least, there are appropriate rest time. Hey you kids there, we are coming!!!!

Tomorrow we are going to the language camp. Huuray! Basically we discussed the activities and and had brief meeting about the camp. Hopefully we will have fun there and everything will go smoothly. Really pray that the UTM bus will come on time as promised, so we can reach Tenggaroh by 4:30pm and start our motivational talk as planned. I believe all of us will do our best and have the best performance then. Wrapping present seemed easy but it takes time too, And all the materials, luckily this time the camp not really many materials to prepare as most of the games are SUBSTAINABLE, hahaha. For those who are going for the second camp, share with you guys about our experiences next week then. SMILE ALWAYS!

hmm, it's really great that the banner can get to be done in such a short time. sorry that i can't stay till the end but anyway, everyone was already crowding the banner. too many cooks spoil the broth. we'll be going shopping today. but, at a pemborong. we have decided on what items to get. and a lot of worries on the budget. if only there isn't a budget and we can spend as much as we want. things will get so much simpler. i find the motivational talk was alright the second time when we did it in full. I am sure it will turn up ok when the speakers are well-prepared. no worries about them. they are great. however, i think some of those fro the second camp is a bit worry as to the task of wrapping prizes. this is because they will only be free after presenting PSM. dont worry pals, i should be free after wednesday. we can shop on wednesday night and start wrapping after that. the first camp will set as an example. at least we are able to tell what kind of other preparation is needed before the second campers set off for their trip. Good luck to everyone in the camps and also PSM!

hello there.....hmm, yesterday was fun and pretty stressful as for me, haaa...coz i lost my temper..sorry again cech....but we have hugged, i know u won't blame me anymore....equal right? here, i wish all of you who will be leaving for the first camp all the best and let us know what is lack so we can improvise it on the second camp...i just hope that everything will go smoothly as we have our psm presentation coming and this really scary. So, i hope we will still help each other for the second camp because that week is the most stressful week for most of us. by the way, Lina, i am so impressed that you actually know how to wrap presents in different kinds of forms....that is so cool...you know what, coz i am an idiot in wrapping including my own books...so don't even mention presents....i think my family and housemates should know better....haha....about 105 entries...ok lah, i will try my very best to contribute more....i didn't get to see the end result of the banner but i know it must be very cool coz i chipped in to paint on two or three alphabets...hahahahaha......but yesterday's scenario did remind me of our teamwork during olivia twist....well, like abang shah always say 'THIS IS A GROUP WORK, NOT A ONE MAN'S SHOW' something like that....haha....but that was so strong among the actors and actresses....now this phrase shall go to all of us who will go for the camps....LET'S WORK FOR IT...

Hello guys!...yeah it's been a long time not to see your name in here Lay Kian.I'm also have quite a headache as I plan to finish my PSM today..Please pray for my success. Yesterday was quite fun for all of us as we were able to discuss on the sketch for the students...thumbs up to Linda as she was so sporting and she can speak Tamil very well..amma!!!(hehheheheh). As for abg. Shah and kak Riece, they were a good match and hopefully the kids will enjoy and get something valuable from the session.Maybe if possible both of you can practice on the script although we all knew that you are creative, spontaneous but it will be better if you can plan on what you will say later.Good luck!.I agree with Lay Kian that this camp iss some kind of 'leisure tour' although it's only in 'TENGGAROH' but come on guys...after all this while we concentrate on our PSM, its time for us to have fun and contribute something before we left UTM.To Sue and Alariece, you may not be coming to Johore as both of you will fly away to Sarawak and this is just the only time for you to explore some new places in Johor other than City Square, Jusco, etc...but for me..hmmmm...there will be no other places except JOHOR...hidup Johor!!!! (abaikan!)...That's all for now..to Cecah (if she has registered!), you are ultimately the most creative person I've ever met..our banner is MARVELLOUS!!...and to Mr.G, we will try our best to get 105 entries..have faith in us;)..and last but not least, for your information Sue...I can wrap the presents into different kinds of animals (tapir, platypus,salamander, ameba, protozoa, etc.).Just name it!...That's all...Bye everybody and plz help the government to control the population.

It is really a long long time i never log in here as busy with thesis, seldom online, and the most headache thing is whenever i online, the computer will hang due to the reason i downloaded the Netscape and tried to install inmy computer. Sigh..waiting to send fot re-format the whole computer, but waiting until i have finished the thesis presentation first. That's why. Now, i'm doing my searching and responding in one of the lecture's room. He is preparing his presentation while i'm using his computer to surf the net.haha...nice! Huuh, just finished the thesis and going to print it out submit tomorrow before leaving for the camp. The camp will be one of the 'leisure tour' for me. At least, we can EAT, PLAY, EAT, PLAY, EAT, PLAY.hahah...thats part of the routine, you will gain weight after the camp as there is 6 meals a day. It's nice to try to eat with your fingers like Malays. for non-Malay, may be we can try it. It's not that difficult and i have tried it during my fist languge camp last year. hahaha...Hope have unique experience with those who are going to TENGGAROH 4 with me. SMILE ALWAYS =)

ooppss...in response to the very helpful Harlina from team 2....yes dear you may help us in the wrapping session...afterall as you said you are a creative person...so we might need your help to turn the packages to weird animals shape...hikhik..bet the kids would love it!!

whoa....did not know that there are still a lot more to do just to get full mark for this weblog assighment. Anyway, Li Min as the treasurer had collected RM10 from each language camp members for the prices. Initially each one would have to pay RM5 but due to certain circumstances, the sponsorship money is late, the collection was needed. The first language camp is coming soon. Maybe the members felt worried..I know I was..because we didn't do anything much. Compared to our last project (drama class), the workload was like tonnes and tonnes...time seemed to shorter by 10 hours each day. Maybe there is not much to do for this camp, but still I hope for the best.Afterall, we do have a reputation to keep...the BEST and nothing but the BEST!!hihi...I think I have 100 words here...

GAMEPLAN PROGRESS REPORT
In order for everybody to have full mark for this weblog assignment, we need 105 postings. Until 13/1/03 we only have 43 postings. 3 key people who are supposed to supply us vital information are still unregistered. They are:
Aida Jasni aida_utm@hotmail.com
Masnizah Mr mymas02@hotmail.com
Noraishah Mak aishahmak@hotmail.com
No wonder members are in the dark.

I am yet to count the number of comments and postings on the Upsaid accounts. Remember guys: 100 words for the postings and 50 words for the comments. You still have time.

Hello and good morning guys,
Just a simple proposal.
Why dont we go over what we are suppose to do this coming Tuesday?
This is to ensure that everyone there knows what everyone is doing and also to recruit last minute volunteers.
What do you say, peaceful environment with great people and great activity?
p.s. welcome back Yani!
JC aka Shi ing

good afternoon guys!!!...Next week is going to be a big day for us as we are going to handle a bunch of kids in Tenggaroh...for me, I feel quite excited about it as it's been quite a long time I haven't been to any camp.About the game 2, I can say that Victor and I are quite blur about this thing (extreme dictation)..Maybe we will follow on Alariece's advice to see Mr.G before it's too late...Actually Victor is very busy with his PSM and I think he's quite stress with his new supervisor...I agree with Alariece on her suggestion to collect money from the rest of the members to help Cecah...I am actually a very helpful person, so there is one question I would like to ask. Can I join both of you to wrap the prizes? (to Alariece and Sue)..Maybe my ideas and creativity can help you?? (hahahhhaahhh...) just kidding but I really want to play a part and contribute something for this camp although I'm actually from group 2...That's all for today..see you guys in class.....chow

helloooo...yani!finally u have woken up from the dark world.Good to have you back again.Miss you?there's a fine line between perasan and mengada...yours is perasan!!hihi...yup we kind of miss you though..but at least now u r back!!but too bad that u would have to drown yourselves in loads of work..but don't worry about it too much cause you can always count on your friends!!anyway..the language cam is coming nearer...excited people?!!I know I am..a bit if not much..but anyway..Tenggagroh(did I get that correctly?)here I come....with my pail..and my kain sarung....yeehahhhhh!!!!!!emmm...but I am still blur with the whole thing!maybe we should sut down and have a long meeting that will discuss about the whole thing..so that we are totally clear with waht we are supposed to do and how is the flow of the camp!!

A'kum...n hello everyone...
i'm back again..not yet 100% recovered but i know how much u guys miss me.....heheh..if thinking about the extra two marks..i might be happy to go to both camps..but now i got to rush for PSm as i've been neglected it for two weeks..and yup i felt schocked that i gottta come oout with treasure hunt game..but wattodo..thanks to Ayu cos she seems so helpful and know what to do..and i'm still confused whether i have to do the lit review for the treasure hunt..i must catch up with loadssa things..i haven't see our official shirt for the camp, and i'm like lost with what u guys are discussing about...well..i'll write again later.

heeeloooo again!after weeks MIA from this blogger thing, i'm back! oh ya, welcome back to class Yani! alright, seems like everyone is anticipating the first camp. YUP, running out of time, really gald that u guys realise that matter! for the game 2, we only do the students handouts, NO NEED lesson plans and lit.review. (for those who got the wrong info earlier on, sorry that u guys did extra work) Although every pair surely has a game to be conducted, we are still looking for games which, according to Mr.G, are 'the sentence level game'. Shah has suggested a few sentence level games during our previous meeting. I think some of the ideas can be implemented.So, hopefully Shah can explain further about his ideas and perhaps some pairs who only have one game (like me and Sue) can help out in these games.any more ideas for sentence level game?if need further explanation, direct it to Mr.G ok :) hmm..banner,I heard Cecah had discussed with See Yan, for the prizes..haa..last meeting Cecah said she'll debit her $ first, but then, we suggested that the treasurer collects $ from us a.s.a.p.At least Cecah will have less burden.So the wrapping prizes activity can be done at our house as most of us were assigned to do so. For Game 2, those who are not sure how to play/conduct the games MUST ask Mr. G a.s.a.p too.actually, he's worried that most of us can't understand Game 2 (sorry sir, have to let them know this) so, next Tues after the treasure hunt- Tropical Garden,we'll have one of the 'havoc' meeting there, and perhaps explain about the games again.See y'all!

waaaaaaaaa....limin, i didn't know you have second thought of going to the first camp....actually if i have the time, i might join also but seeing that we are really running out of time as VIVA is around the corner, so i don't think i will join. Is it ok for you (Mr G) to delete the 2 marks scheme because it's kind of hectic for us to join just because of two marks....*sigh*...please...seeing that we are at our final semester, there are many reasons that we cannot join another camp at this month, this hour this moment....anyway, the final decision is still in your hands...by the way, what are the preparations that we have to do besides thinking of the prizes (for my case) and games? AJK Tinggi, please don't stress yourself too much and throw some of your burdens to us (though i hope there are not), hehe...

Alloooooo.......hye..guess who am i..Lina is here..like all of you, i'm also busy like hell! my supervisor is not here to help me as she already went to 'haji'..Next week we will go to language camp in Tenggaroh. Although i should be going to the second language camp, i think i don't want to miss working with the rest of my friends that will be in lg.camp 1. it will be a great fun to be working together as a team maybe all of us will have the same feeling conducting this one as we have conducted Olivia Twist. to Li Min, just try to make yourself happy and enjoy...Yani has recovered although she hasn't FULLY recovered, i really hope that thing will go back to normal soon..Cecah, Mas and Linda..you guys are working very hard..hopefully that three of you can handle all the works as planned. Ok..that's aall for now... see ya tomorrow!!!!

Hi people… So busy lately that I didn’t have time to go online. Bobby purposely sent a sms informing that he replied something to my last message. Anyway, I have not read it somehow, ‘cos I am typing this in Microsoft Word and send it out later.
The language camp is just around the corner. Frankly, I don’t have any feeling about it, unlike the preparation on Olivia Twist. Maybe, after this week, we’ll be working like hell, I believe. But, I will enjoy myself, since this is gonna be the last fun thing we do together. So friends, don’t give yourself much pressure, especially Cecah, Mas, Linda. After all, it’s “sub-sub water”. All of us were experienced and well-trained….Hmmm, considering whether to join the first camp or not, for the sake of being with my dearest friends and partly to join in the fun! Shall decide with the rest!! Can’t promise ya (those who are from Group 1). Cos, of presentation…Ok people, I have to stop here. I have PSM to do, lots to add and redo. See ya!! Good luck to all.

hellooo...just got back from my micro teaching.anyway, heard that Yani is recovering and now at home. That's a relief and definitely a gud news. Anyway..our first language camp is coming up soon but I am still unsure of what we are supposed to do apart from compiling the games,coming up with lesson plans etc. I mean, maybe we will be told later about this but, what are supposed to do when we get to the camp, the agendas, the programmes etc..those are still unclear and hate to break the news..time is running out!!hopefully things will go according to plan!!and let's have fun out there!!Cecah...hope that you can handle the pressure of handling this project...you do know that we are here to help you if there's anything thjat you need!!

hello!!! just waiting for my microteaching class at 11. A horrible day to wake up early, when its so cool n cloudy!! anyway, yeah, i'm supporting wan ling n sue's concern. Yani, do get well soon!!! as for shiing's idea of compiling evrything and using the same materials for both camps (i'm assuming this is the idea?), isn't that what we're supposed to do? do we have to come up with different materials for both camps? it will be good if all of us could practice together. saves time! but of course, its a bit impossible. maybe just once or twice and then we split to the 2 gps. it's gonna b hard work throughout the coming week! also, on the motivational session, aishah's idea of coming out wif a short sketch is good! it's a whole lot better than us talking nonstop! well, cant wait to go shopping for the prizes!!!!!!

Hey hey...totally agree with the rest of what sue and wan ling stated.
Why dont they have something else to do instead?
Mebbe come out with a compiling the songs for both camps or coming out with the exercise steps for morning exercise.
I think that is burdening but not so burdening...Besides circumstances do happen and we dont like it to happen either.
Please do have a heart Mr G because i know that you have one that is warm and fuzzy!
By and by, it's time to do our viva presentation and then we can be on our merry way to adulthood (groan)
Oh lg games dudes and dudettes, look out for more details regarding the viva from Pn Tina or make an effort to visit the paper outside her door if there is a notice and then we all can be on our merry way!
JC aka Shi Ing

Mr.G, I am writing in response to Wan Ling's entry. i completely forgotten about the whole thing,as it was nothing related to me..hihi..don't blame me for only caring about my own well being..anyway..I am not totally that obnoxious or self centered. I do feel the same way. It is a bit too heavy on the two girls. I mean, when all of us did ours, it was heavy enough plus other things that we have to do. Anyway, it is not Yani's fault that she is down with dengue that led Tiqah presented in a very last minute. We are trying our very best to score in this subject as there is no excuse for us to do badly in it. I mean all of us gave our commitment and do everything that is required for the course. So, let's cut them some slack shall we?Even though this might came late..oh and Yani...hope you will get well soon!

Mr. G, I really think the extra work for the two girls who did not get to present during our last lesson was a bit heavy on them, to come up with the lesson plan, conduct and look for the literature review. i think at least, skip the literature review. they didn't come for a reason. at least, for sure, yanni was unable to conduct the lesson because of dengue fever. She should be excused. But, of course to be fair she has to do something in order to get her marks. but, the something is really a big thing. she has already done a lesson plan and literature review with her partner. the only thing she didn't get to do was the implementation. and, because of that, she has to everything all over again. It's really a pity. Same goes with the other one. sorry, I can't remember who was the other one. and, I am not sure ofher reasons.

hikhik...forgotten that I am supposed to talk about serious matter here, which is about language camp. What is the newest info...hmm..let me see..the jersey!! I find that it is nice, at least it is something different compared to any of out T-shirts before..tsk..tsk..at least it does not have orange, black and a bee!!anyway..I don't mind wearing that jersey!! it is not that ugly, besides the real thing that matters is to ensure that the language camp successful and something that we can look back proudly, the same feelings that we have when Olivia Twist proved to be something that we can be proud of!! let's have fun and let the kids have fun and actually gain something through the language camp. It is heartbreaking when you see that there are still a lot of kids out there that still crawling wayy...behind the rest of the world and it is something overwhelmingly satisfying knowing that we actually played a part even when it is small in the kids' future.

hello...helo..hello..people of the earth!!looks like today is the day that we have been waiting for...TESLian Nite...NOT!!!is it me or is it just me again...this is something that I'm struggling still to develop the appropriate enthusiasm over it!!other than that...whoa...there's the practical thing coming up...and due to the fact that I have the "ulu" face, once gain the conspiracy had managed to dump me to a place where Timecel won't work!it is bad enough that I have no idea at all the places in Kluang...imagine this, if I got lost..I won't be able to call for help cause Timecel is such a lousy line that they don't cover kluang!...i think laa...anyway, dear frens...gud luck, may all of you come back in one piece and still have your sanity restored!!

yeah....so boring. in fact, i really hate practicum. i mean, sigh.....i believe there are many of you facing this problem. you see, this is the time for us to so-called 'live independently'...but who learn in the end...it's cool if you get someone who can do work on their own, but if you are with someone who cannot do things alone, then it's your doom. i don't know what i want to say actually, but just feel 'benci' for this coming practicum. i had no idea if i had made the right choice for changing school because i feel sri rahmat and sri perling 2 are the same...maybe i will feel better if i have transport, hahahahaahahhaa...that's everybody's wish, i am referring to whom are in need of cars........hehe....by the way, does anyone here knows about sri perling 2? it sounds hmmmmmmm.......i just want to knwo how is the school, its system, the teachers, the staff, most important of all, the students........

I agree that time really flies and soon we would be going out for our 2nd micro-teaching. (groan)
Not so nice huh...
This message is just a sory note and an enlightening note to the OC of Lg games.
I would like to apologize to the team for not going to the camp on Wednesday at ermengency notice but i thought that the four was suppose to go and it was last minute notice and i hardly react well to last minute notice.
If you tell me a day earlier, then i could have prepared.
Hope that you guys understand.

When can we achieve the previous messages successfully by viewing with the web page? If we cant manage to do it, all the messages only can be read but cannot post any comments. Time really flies. It's year 2003, it's our last few months in UTM. Can you imagine we have spent almost four years here since year 1998? Wao, amazing, we survive until today. still remember when i just came here, i still wondering how am i going to have four years here-so long. But now?? things have changed. There are many new things for us to explore...do be brave to explore and take all the opportunities up to try. Never Try, Never Know!! Smile =) btw, Happy New Year!
