Where are the trips for the finals??? How come i can't find them one??? Good luck everybody for the final exams. All The Best!!! Study hard and smart. Like they say: " Whatever the seed, so shall the harvest be!".

Hmm...guess may be we shall find a new web log to continue our 'sampat' leisure chit-chat, a 99/00 TESLian web. Any suggestions? Today is already Friday and i still can get into the 'mood' to study for the first paper-ESP which i need to sit on next Mon. Sigh......why i didnt have enough self discipline?? HELP.......

back in rembau after spending the aidiladha holidays ALONE in Tmn U (Almost everybody went back)...
Luckily the girls of Jln Kebudayaan blablabla (can't remember the number...hint:whose house is in front of Sek. Keb. Tmn U 4) invited me to join them at alif...hmm,actually,i just wanna brag about my experience of having to stay alone in my house for three consecutive nights...for a coward like me,that can be regarded as one of the greatest achievements...helped to care for yani's little fish too...sadly,one of them (starbucks) died (might be caused by constant bully and low self-esteem as it had a very different colour from others)...heheh...pls,it wasn't because of me...hmmm,the change of altitude might be the culprit as well...or was it the change of status:from apartment to a mere flat?yani,u should be thankful that the others survived the ordeal...lastly,all the best for the coming exam...put your best foot forward...tata...

hmmmm, only at this page i can see so many new messages as i can only read the one till 8th february....as mr g stated, only members can read..i wonder where can i do that...never mind, after i post this message perhaps i can seee where is the new place (if any)....we still have less than a month to be together...i know all of us will be very busy (not all) with exams...but i think most of us are quite relax when it comes to exam if compared to last few semesters...perhpas this is due to our limited time left in skudai.....sob sob......i don't have the sad feeling yet, maybe the last few days.....sigh...don't want to cry but i know i will coz once i see someone with tears, i will DEFINITELY join in the crowd.......see you guys in class (pm khairi's last class)

A Little Something for Everybody...from Cech with Love

i'm no bill gates (with infinity of cash), so i can't treat all of you with a sumptious farewell dinner in putri pan pacific.what i can give is a poem that came into my dream last night (credits should be given to the writer of the 'one two buckle my shoe' song)...somehow, i got the feeling that i've been influenced by mr g's latest game, 'rhyme time' ;p...hope you will enjoy it as much as i do...here goes...


one two buckle my shoe
it has been tremendous fun working with all of you

three four shut the door
from all the laughter, my jaw could have ended up on the floor

five six pick up sticks
judging from that, we're surely a perfect mix

seven eight lay them straight
if there are any dissatisfactions, let's just give them a big break

nine ten a big fat hen
spend the remaining seconds 'hand in hand'

=)

feel free to read MY BEST JOURNAL ENTRY......and think about it....

to be praised,,,,,,,,,,or to be blamed¡­¡­..

One of the most unavoidable life lessons is having to deal with the disapproval with others. Praise and blame are all the same and somehow it is a fancy way of reminding ourselves that we¡¯ll never be able to please all the people all the time. Our approval rating from family, friends and the people we work isn¡¯t likely to be much higher and definitely different rating received from different people. The truth is, everyone has their own set of ideas with which to evaluate life, and our ideas don¡¯t always match those of other people. For some reason, however, most of us struggle against this inevitable fact. We get angry, hurt or otherwise frustrated when people reject our ideas, tell us no, or give us some other form of disapproval. The sooner we accept the inevitable dilemma of not being able to win the approval of everyone we meet, the easier our lives will become. When we expect to be dished out our share of disapproval instead of struggling against this fact, we¡¯ll develop a helpful perspective to assist our life journal. Rather than feeling rejected by disapproval, we can remind ourselves, ¡°Here it is again. That¡¯s okay.¡± We can learn to be pleasantly surprised, even grateful when we receive the approval we¡¯re hoping for.
I find that there are many days when I experience both praise and blame. Someone will hire me to speak and someone else won¡¯t want to; one phone call delivers good news, another announces a new issue to deal with. One of my friends is happy with my behaviour, the other struggles against it. Someone says what a nice girl I am; someone else thinks I¡¯m selfish just because I don¡¯t return his phone call. This back and forth, good and bad, approval and disapproval is part of everyone¡¯s life. I have to admit that I always prefer approval over disapproval. It feels better and it¡¯s certainly easier to deal with. The more content I¡¯ve become, however, the less I depend on it for my sense of well-being. And somehow, I always find that being kind is better over being right. When we are tempted to put others down, correct them or show them how we¡¯re right and they¡¯re wrong is that our ego mistakenly believes that if we point out how someone else is wrong, we must be right, and therefore we will feel better. In actuality, however, if we pay attention to the way we feel after we put someone down, notice that we feel the worse than before. Our heart, the compassionate part of us, knows that it¡¯s impossible to feel better at the expense of someone else. And the opposite is true ¨C when our goal is to build people up, to make them feel better, to share in their joy, we¡¯ll get the rewards of their positive feelings. It does not mean it¡¯s not okay for us to be right, only that if we insist on being right, there is often a price to pay ¨C our inner peace. When somebody blamed me, my feeling urged me to correct where things came wrong, but in order to feel the peaceful and to be a person filled with equanimity, I always choose kindness over being right¡­..most of the time..

Hi to all and to Pn. Noraisah especailly..
inm my opinion, observation and experience..i'd like to stress ere that WE the TESLians are not Madonna- material-girl wannabe...we are just enjoying our life and having fun...

i'd rather say that we are a bunch of HIGH MAINTANENCE GIRLS..people who'd like to coOp with us..should consider that..we burnt our own money.not taking advantage on our charm and fun spirit to scrape on other people's fortune...i do agree that our sip of coffe always be Starbukcs if not Dome though (Coffee Bean??!-out of date)hahah..and anytime most of us can be the next Imelda Marcos in terms of collection of shoes...and we only fall in love to the one that we think deserve our love..rite guys..other things come second..no matter he's a student that can't really afford our high cost needs or even a newly working bf that financially is not yet convincing...well Cech..look at the bright part of being a high maintance girl..guy will work hard to coop with us so that he can fulfill our extravagant budget of necessities...heheheh..

NOMINATION FOR THE BEST JOURNAL ENTRY.....(loadsa things to say..this is just the beginning....)

Y do woman play hard on other woman???

Being a woman maself is a bless from god..What woman can't coop with?? In terms of life skills..woman is the one who is taught to cook,sew clothes and will be able to take care of herself without going to office picking the absolutely wrong matched tie colour..heheh...What can man do if not setting off..the fire alarm halfway through frying some pity burnt eggs..
believe it or not..woman scores whenever she feels like the attention. Just pop into the countless fabulous wardrobe..then a woman's look tranformed and man can stare with mouth wide open...
What else..woman is free to express her emotion without letting her side down..bet on it fellas..it is considerable for a woman to cry of a sad movie in the cinema..but man can just hold their breath and remind themselves that they are a man..they can't just cry bcos of MU loose to some low class second division team..heheh...
I bet man is envy with woman..but why do woman is sometime more harsh to her own kind...A woman who's jealous of another woman who is better looking..Another woman driving a more compaible car.."Did she has someone to feed her?".. An adorable woman with so many man after her.."what makes those guys go for her"...arrgghh she's some itchy girl"..heheh..what else..the list goes on..rumours spread by her own kind...man envies but woman...?worst i think..Waddaya think..??
'Life sucks..truth hurts" ever heard of such phrase..? we are not yet exposed to the real world..the real world is just one step ahead..then believe me..u'll find out more weird, heartbreaking etc situation and people..anyway..that's what make life meaningful...enjoy life fellas...

Let me think of the best entry that I can share:
F.R.I.E.N.D.S This 7 letter words could be interpreted in many many ways. For certain people, friends come and disappear at the same time. It will not stay any longer unless it brings benefits to them. How true is that statement? Well, you judge yourself.
We meet different people with different characteristics everyday. I still remember my first friend in Primary One was an Indian girl. She was quite pitiful, cos she couldn’t afford to further her studies due to financial problems. Hmm, her name is Thilagam. J No news about her anyway. Here, I will not tell each and every friend I met… but I am gonna share about a friend of mine who was claimed as my ‘best friend.’ (Some of you might have heard of this-2328 girls J).
Once upon a time,…. ‘It was when we were in Form Five. We were having our monthly test, and were sitting for the Math. Modern paper. Being kind, I gave her the paper that I had answered. I knew it wasn’t right and at that moment, I was so nervous too. Hey, don’t play play with my Math. teacher. It was quite smooth at first, till it caught her attention when the paper ‘landed’ on the floor. She immediately stood up and told us to stop writing. *Oh, no!* (my heart whispered). Worse of all, she shifted the blame to me. I did not utter a word especially when I realized I was wrong for doing so! Ever since, I started to ‘hate’ her. What a friend..she rather claimed the credit and I was blamed. It was so shameful, besides being stared by classmates, schoolmates started to gossip. Pepper, salt, soya sauce, etc were added into the gossip. I didn’t care much. Up to them…but my bunch of friends who witnessed were busy explaning. Thanks to them… Well, well, well, I supposed you know the result. Luckily, she found out the truth as she ‘examined’ the paper carefully at home. Thank God! It was a lesson for me…I reminded my students in my last practical regarding my experience of ‘cheating’ in examination. The moral of teh story is: Help when it's necessary, and differentiate whether it's worth doing. Don't do things against the rules and regulations. You'll regret!! Ohh...however, after we left high school...couldn't figure out how long it took us, we see each other again, and forgive and forget about the incident. Anyway, wish her all the very best in whatever she does!! Learn from experience!!! THE END!

Hello hello everyone, I am back again. I have not used the internet for quite sometime, so please up date me J Okay, I think I am the only person who did not give any feedback regarding the language camp. Overall the language camp was fun! It wasn’t as tough as drama, both the preparation and the day itself. That was because, language camp did not give any pressure to me, though at the beginning I was afraid I couldn’t teach the students all the games as I might interpret the game wrongly. However, after experiencing it myself, it wasn’t difficult at all.
The students were rather active and co-operative. They worked hard for their group even though they came from different schools. That shows that they were very united. (YES!YES!YES!)…
Like others, I enjoyed my stayed there (ignore the toilet/bathroom). Free food… free stay… free ride (bus) had cut down some of my expenses. Hehe! Oh, will we be having any 'kenny rogers' for celebration? No extra money..? I did not have nay money with me... i mean the fund for the camp....see la, go makan-makan some day ya! Okay, so far that’s all that I wanna say. Have a nice day!

They were giving those prizes without much effort from people who got it... giving away freebies...that was one of what Zack De la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine was fighting for through music¡­there were loadsa homeless people¡­freedom..Human¡¯s right...poverty leads to crime...homicide...what else...but nobody really cares...the one who cares is the one who faces such situation..Same goes to other issues...such as Global warming¡­do u ever think of recycling stuffs???..It demands not much effort from us...but the benefit would be very extensive...for our better living...and especially for our future generations...can u imagine...what would happen if we don¡¯t have enough place for garbage dump..Think about urself as a student...these four years...i believe...u used kilos of papers...u didn¡¯t recycle...and it covered how many square feet of our precious land u guess?..Later...Ur children or great2 grandchildren would have to stay with garbage...just some thought¡­and u should give it a thought too...

bonjour everybody..i'm so sad right now..:( i just find out that there will be a class on coming tuesday and i could not attend.. that's what makes me so sad..because i kind of like language games class compared to drama class.it's not that i hate olivia twist.but i find that there are more tense in drama project (olivia twist) compared to language games project (language camp).and of course olivia twist is something that i cannot forget. it was so wonderful and enjoyful experienced as an actress.on the other hand, language camp was something different from the olivia twist. i did learnt something from the both camp.. and i really glad that i have the experienced to teach little kids and it was very exciting actually to be a faci and control 10 kids. i heard that graduate teacher can apply to teach in primary school with same grade of salary which is DG3 if i'm not mistaken.i think it is great! because nowadays teenagers are very cruel to their teachers (of couse not all) if you refer to news which students can do anything to their teachers for example scratch their teacher's car, fight with the teacher,bla bla bla...so many things can happen.and i admit that i'm quite afraid to deal with that kind of students. students who have discipline problems. that's why i think if the news are real i've been thinking to teach the primary students except for standard 1,2,3,4...hehe can i choose which standard i want to teach?i prefer to teach standard 5 and 6 because they can understand better. but actually it depends on which school i'm going to teach later on.if i get good school which mean no discipline problem, i will take it and do my job!
oh no! i will miss my 2 marks! Mr. G, will it effect on my grade? and another thing are you going to show the carry marks during the last class? can somebody jot down my carry marks and tell me later after i get back to jb.thank you and adios guys..tomorrow will be the last date to post entry and i hope that i have complete it because i could not remember how many entry i have post..:)

yup,today is the day i neglected jusco completely and cast my attention to mas,my always-laughing housemate (she's trying to compete laughing with a guy now)...up until this second,i regard my day as very relaxing and filled with joyous moments...last week, while spending time with all my brothers at home,i felt something missing in my heart.maybe biologists should probe whether our hearts consist of several parts with each part being specially reserved for differing people in our lives.so, what was missing in my heart then and what made me raise the question above? i actually missed my chums in utm...spending time with you guys almost complete me...what would completely complete me?if you give a bar of bittersweet vochelle chocolate,that's it!heheh...but i don't mind other kinds of chocolate,as long as they taste good.but,the more expensive the chocolate is,the better...(err,is it true that we teslians are material girls?)...let's have a little quiz:

1.how many footwear do you own? (including the ones you put on in the house)
2.where do you go to whenever you wanna have a taste of coffee?
3.what criteria do you look for in searching for a life-partner?

heheh...i just wanna give three questions as i'm sure you guys could come up with the rest to clarify whether we are the madonna of the faculty of education...

Hello everybody¡­..
Friday without any class seems as a very long day to me.what else should I do other than spend time together with my loving housemate, aishah. even our house is next to jusco, today I¡¯ve no mood to spend my precious time there. Jusco failed to attract me today as I¡¯ve spent a few hours there on Thursday (which was yesterday). This morning aishah told me that we¡¯ll have lg games class next tues. guys, we¡¯ll meet again this tues. another two marks¡­! Wonder what¡¯s more activities will we have for the class and to get another two marks. Can¡¯t forget rap dance by mr g during the slim shady session last week. I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll have more fun for our next class. Dear frens, we are already at the end of the semester (final sem to most of us), perhaps we may spend those precious moments with happiness. Remind ourselves to best moments we shared together for Olivia twist and the two lg camps..we did good teamwork and hopefully we remember all the good things and forget the one we hate¡­¡­frens forever¡­.chow¡­

Now let's reflect on the joy we bring to the little kids in the language camp. By bringging joy to them we were actually bringging joy to ourselves.Joy is something when shared, becomes more and more. Joyfullness keeps the heart and face young, and when interspersed with laughter, makes living a fine art. Although it is not easy to be happy and positive all the time, we should remember to look at the bigger picture and not dwell on the small set-backs of life. Remember that we should find joy, even in our sorrows for they are just a part of an eventful and wonderful life. :)

Yipes, so many entries sudedenly, here is my best entry kua..i Think. i have it in the form of a poem. It's Entitled Life:

Some see it as a tragedy,
To others it is but a comedy,
Only a coveted few receives its pleasure,
To many it offers more pain than lesisure.

Life is hopeless when there is sorrow,
Life is happiness when there is tomorrow,
With everyday breaking,
There must be an end to the hearts aching.

Isn't life beautiful?
Isn't life gay?
Isn't life the perfect thing,
To pass the time away?

Hmmm, and here goes my entry for best journal. Enjoy reading!
Togetherness
Hmmm, staying together brought about lots of new experiences. I got to leran alot and also experience alot. Ups and downs, sad and happy, surprises and disappointments. Truthfully, that's what makes up of life. I have seen things I have never seen before, going through things I would never imagine could happen. The first time I ever had to stay with someone of total stranger was my roommate which is also now, my housemate. It was great how we got to know each other better each and every day. Of course, along the line of knowing each other, there is definitely joy, but, as always, misunderstandings have to come in. Thats the price you have to pay over the joy you get. Then, when I shifted into my now rented house, I got to know more people, different cultures and of course, different behaviour. Can't comment much on each individual, that would be too sensitive an issue here. They are a great bunch of people, outgoing, fun and outrageously lively.especially at night.
Expereinces? Imagine these things:
Have you ever extinguished maggots which had wriggled all over the living room early in the morning?
Hve you ever had breakfast at 6:45 in the morning and take photos over it?
Have you ever had the chance to have a foreigner as a housemate?
Have you ever gossiped people so badly you feel guilty afterwards?
Have you ever stay up late at night to chat and express feelings?
Have you ever feel so annoyed of a stray dog that keeps threatening your life that you want to poison it?
Have you ever stayed up all night to guard the house out of fear that there will be a break in?
Have you ever...
and the list goes on. well, I don't know if I will be able to face such things again after I have graduated. The fun things, I hope it will happen again and a thousand more times. The bad ones, I hope to forget and that it will never ever have to happen again.
Nevertheless, the sad ones, if you keep in your memory long enough, it could be something you would laugh over once in a while.
That's all the sharing from me on my experience.
Feel free to add on to the "Have you ever..."list in my upsaid. I am most interested in the stories of my adventurous coursemates. By all means, share with me and let me feel your joy or sadness.

1. Class as usual on Feb. 11, 2003. (Tuesday). Another 2 stars up for grab.
2. Feb. 8, 2003 is the deadline for all assignments.
3. Of course time flies but you are the pilot.

wow!This is the first time that I see so MANY entries in one day (6th feb,03)! ahahahhaa...must be the adrenaline rush to post as many entries as possible before the due date right! MR.G is good at making us cracking our brains while in the same time, having fun giving comments on others (psst...'Kiah's pot-pet session is cool!) hehe...To have a cool class or not to have a cool class this Tues? That is the question!shall i define my 'cool class' category? Nah...let's see what's in store for us.another gettin jiggy wit it session or again, modelling session with the red jersey??oooh...gotta spare RM15 for the shirt!yikes...oh, maybe we can have a party,combination of the celebration for making the camps successful,CNY, completed the PSM, being the loudest batch, making Mr.G smiled hugely after 20 years in lg games,...etc...anything!well, surely some of us have extra mandarin oranges and cookies right?hik..hik...Jusco forever!

I just paste the best entry here. It's a bit long, as suddenly a bit emotional that day. But wrote it with peace and appreciate mind. I will still prefer you to visit my upsaid's journal-smile801123. hehe...enjoy..but i think only Mr. G will be the one who really read through all our BEST entry one by one.

Relationship with my Father.
Yup, family is the most important element for everyone of us and they will not give us up no matter what had we done-either something disappointed or embarassed or negative or bad...they will always stand beside of us although after all the strong arguments, straight comments, and angry words.

Still remember all the incidents happened related to my family members. When i was a secondary school student, i didnt put much afford in my family yet the school was my second home. I spent my whole holiday in school but the original home sweet home was just be regarded as a Hotel - a place to rest, sleep, and eat. I didnt really have close r/ship with all family members including my father. Its due to the age gap and growing background.

My father always stand so high and so far from us, he is someone i cannot touch, someone i cannot play and laugh together, someone seem so close in blood r/ship to me but so far in the real daily life. We seldom talk since young. He worked throughout day and night to pay for the daily bread that the whole 9 members in the family needed. After we have the stable financial status, the gap was already there. I still remembered i called him when he reached home. He signed my academic report when there is a need. He didnt comment about my academic achievement but will only say: Good result is yours, if get a bad result will become 'cows to do the plantation'-means doing hard works to earn money. Study become my own personal plan. Nobody will praise nor scold me and can you imagine my parent didnt know when is my PMR and SPM examination during that sort of important period.

Since From 1, i was allowed to reach home after midnight, stay over night at friend's house by just giving a call to inform my mum. That's it. They didnt even know where was i. I envy my friends who will receive straight guidance from parents sometime as my feeling towards my parent at that moment was negative-they didnt care of me....They didnt know what i did and what i need.

As one incident happened when i was in Form 3 which caused by my dad and it widen our gap indeed. I disagreed with my dad and argued with him. But the argument really brought a negative impact. Due to that incident, we talked even more less when our conversation was considered limited. Can you imagine our communication was just bouded with the greetings? After Form 5, when i received the telegram from UTM on one Wed night, decided to go on Thurs morning after calling UTM, informed my mum on Thurs evening and my mum passed the message to my dad that night. Friday morning received the money from dad and packed my luggages and my dad, mum, younger sis accompanied me to UTM on Saturday morning and left me alone when i went for faculty's registration. Within three days, i changed my academic journey. No body in my family really gave comments and opinions to me but i made up my own mind. May be somebody will think it's nice as so much freedom, but for me it's something lonely feeling and i get too much freedom. Sigh. Ambiguous feeling. Hope to get freedom but sometime hope there is someone to guard me.

Thanks God i didnt neglect my studies although i was not that hardworking and it's lucky to get a place in UTM. Although my parent didnt really guide me and control me, all these Freedom trainned me to be an independent girl and decide my own life. Everthing is having pros and cons effect. I didnt blame them much as they didnt know much about education - i cant expect my parent who didnt even finish primary school education to help me in academic matter. It will just embarassed them and bring trouble to them.

When i was in UTM, i really realised the importance of family. I miss them and need them whenver i encounter problems and difficluties. In this four years, I tried to be close to my family. No problem for mum, brothers and sisters. But the r/ship with dad is the most challenging one. It's difficult, i can only sent birthday card, and wrote words which i cant say it out in the cards. Tried to call him and talk to him but the response from him will always the same: Do you have enough money to spend?

For him, be able to support the needs of all the family members is considered a good husband or father. Thats why he works hard to earn money for the family. If we asked, and need money, no matter how difficult, he will get the money needed for us. Although until today we still talk not much, but at least i know he loves me by using his own ways and i love him by showing the love through his way - study hard, work hard, earn money and give them money every month in future. They didnt really need the small amount of money from me actually but it's just a way of showing appreciation.

He is a good father actually. He went through many things and he has the difficulty to show his love and care to us. He used to talk loud and scold us, but it's one of his way to show his concern. I know it and understand it nowadays, that's why i didnt blame him but follow his way to show the love to him. Although he did something which brought us unhappy moment when i was Form 2, it's overed at least and it's glad that he still takae good care of my mum and us.

I still dreaming, i dare to really hug him and kiss him and tell him 'I Love You' and 'Thank You' one day. May be you cant figure out how difficult it is, but for me, it's more difficult than asked me to give birth or jump from the aeroplane in the sky alone. But i will try my hard to do it one day. Pray for me??

If you are having a close relationship with parent or yoru parents are still alive like mine, do appreciate them. I bet many of you are very close to your parent as your parents are from new generation.

During CNY, think of your parents, siblings, besides Ang Pau....

hehe!! it's me again to be bombarding this issue on blogger......MY BEST ENTRY.......stay tuned.........

OF AYAM N CICAK!
another day passes without much excitement. raya tomorrow! raiding all d free food i can get!kekekeke!!! hmm, jus came home from kl.wonderful trip wif laykian,limin,riece. spent a night wif my cuz.still very amazed at d lifestyle she leads. extremely different from what she had. i'm very happy for her to enjoy the luxury she definitely deserves. beautiful 2storey hse wif a lively Lester!poor thing looked so sad when we left.well,i guess it's back to my usual routine. spendin my freetime shedding weight.nothin much happenned here.played badminton wif bros,managed to bully em.used to get chased by dogs round here when i jog.which reminds me bout d stupid incident in tmn u.i was chased by an idiotic rooster! stupud of me to look at it in d eyes. came chasing after me! flew up to my waist to peck!!!!! thank goodness d little nuisance didnt get me! ran n shouted for my life!!!! it's not gonna live for long now!!!!! cant even crow at d rite time!!!! dunno.....is it a sign for fighting if one looks at a rooster in d eye?

i dunno wads wif me n pests! i was trying on sum clothes in sunway pyramid when a lizard fell into my blouse! it was quite big n fat. ran round n round. i had to pull out d stupid thing to free it! man!!!! still cant imagine where i got d guts to do that!!! geli like mad!!!! hah! maybe it's a sign dat i shud stop spending precious$$$.

oh well, life goes on. wonder wad my nex adventure wif animals will b.......

Mek! Meeeeek! Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

How’s everyone doing?? Quite a long break eh??hehe! bet everybody’s enjoying! With psm a thing of d past n assignments almost finished! Yeah…….this’s life! Well, yes, im pretty slow bout putting a few insights as to our camp. It was TRULY GREAT! It was a great thing for us to pull off eventhough we had so lil time to prepare everything. Last minute banner, last minute motivational talk, last minute briefings….right up to the camp itself! Congratulations to everyone for making TEAMWORK an asset! personally, I don’t know how the previous camps went. But I enjoyed my time with the kids! Dang! Can we teach in primary schools instead?? Loved the feeling to b treated like martyrs! Kekeke!!! :P D meals were great n d flow was good too! D kids kinda complained though….by the second nite…completely washed out. Hmm….maybe we could have combined our groups and have a couple more activities together. Maybe a longer duration for future camps. Oh yes, as for MrG’s suggestion of having an alumni thingy so we can get in touch wif each other n to update us on future programmes, I definitely find it a very interesting idea! Maybe we could use Yahoo groups. It’s just a suggestion of course, but it’s quite easy to use, as compared to blogger. We have a message archive where u only hev 2 click on ‘message’ on your left and you can view all d messages! Plus, d messages will b directly sent 2 your personal email account in which u register in. u don’t even nid to go into d group to post or read messages! Of course, there’s a chat corner, photos, n even a member’s list. Okay, enuf of this. This of course, is just a suggestion. If everyone’s okay wif it, I help set up d group. In d meantime…..enjoy d hols baybehs!!!!!! **************Muaks************

hi....
i'm forget to wish all of you 'happy valentine's day.' did you have any plan to celebrate it with your lovers one? i'm not having any idea yet, but i think i want to celabrate it at one place. i'm just bought a perfume for him. i hope he will give me a present too. hahahaha....it is because he was get two present from me. the first one for his birthday and the other one is for valentine's day. we must spend our money to buy something to the special one and at the same time we don't have a money for ourselves, right? actually it's a normal phenomenon to buy something special for someone special even though we don't have a lot of money. that's all. bye....

Hello everyone….sent my messages two days back…sigh, lost…not sure where it had gone….it’s a conspiracy…well, just to promote my best entry (www.upsaid.com/felia) entitled ‘cherish everyone’. In fact, we can click on the names appear on the left side under facilitators in gameplan.blogspot. It is easier because it will link us straight to our friend’s upsaid account immediately….not sure if I should copy and paste it here but since sue and alariece have done so, I think I better do that same thing, hehe…here goes my best entry!!!!


i am not in a good mood these two days. perhaps i miss my late-father. i get myself a part time job in jusco as a promoter. i only work for weekends. last weekend, i worked and my moody feelings started to overcome me. i envied those kids out there. they went around, shopped together with their parents. this is really nice,

my father passed away when i was in form four. he had a sudden heart attack, again 'sudden'...real sudden heart attack because all this while he was fine with no black record in any clinic or hospital. that was really a terror nightmare for me. my father liked to cook and he usually helped me to cook because my mom worked in singapore and will only be back at home after midnight. he taught me a lot in cooking skill such as frying fish or beancurd.

that night, coincidently his birthday, he passed away after struggling for 3 hours in hospital. when i reached hospital, the doctor told me that they had done their best. this is so dramatic. i couldn't believe what i heard and i wasn't upset. i was still wondering. as many actresses or actors did in such situation, i asked the doctor if they had done their best, gosh...this is too dramatic. i saw him lying on the bed in the emergency room. i did not touch him. i just stared at him...his eyes were not closed. i recalled...his eyes werent closed. his last words before he was admitted to hospital was 'don't tell me this is my time, i don't want to die yet'....he told me that....

things just happened. now my mom is widowed, my siblings and i are fatherless. nobody can understand this kind of feelings because i had not got the chance to say sorry to my dad because I HAD AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM IN THAT AFTERNOON......my God...i am left with no chance. the truth is, till today i do not have the courage to look at his photo at his tomb. i dare not.

i had to pick up all the things by myself. no one will help me in wrapping my exercise books, no one to pay electricity bills, no one to back me up if i meet with any scroundels. if somebody bullies me, i have no one to back me up.

when i see those kids in jusco walking with their fathers, i felt so sad. i wish that could happen to me again. i can only remember that i helped him to tie his necktie. that may be nothing to most of you, but i really miss those days with my father.

for those of you, please cherish everyone around you coz one day you might not even have the chance to YES to them.

hello everybody...
i agree wih ala that time is running up...not only for weblog and journal entries but also for being together...we'll be going out for practical training and ....later we'll find that we are heading for our own life...esp. to those who manage to grade on time...won't feel the joyful of being together as UTM students,,,perhaps we did learn many thigs here...yea,,,for zam, maybe right now after the two camps, he found his new self..the one who are capable to deal with kids...to zam, maybe you never knew this before as you've never given a chance to so good things to kids....

and for myself, i find that the camps and being the faci to the kids gave me enough opportunities for me to be very patient and i realized that kids are blessings from god.they are naive, shy but yet active...i love kids very much..deal with them make me appreciate the worls i have and they were given me inspiration to explore my loving side to other people too....ok...adios...

MAY I DECLARE TODAY AS 'RELATIONSHIP DAY'? From the moment i woke up till now, all i heard were things related to relationship (even the song aired in this room comprises all things sweet about a relationship)... That brings to my mind one very special relationship that i'm in now...'must be a boy' you said? Naaahhh... i think all of you are experiencing exactly the same thing. I'm talking about OUR relationship- the bond shared among all of us who are taking this 'language games' class. There are innumerable characters and backgrounds, and yet we manage to blend these differences to form ONE deucedly gorgeous colour... The most captivating one Leonardo daVinci would wish he had on his palette... He never had the chance to own this perfect mix, but one man does... The lucky HomoSapien is none other than Mr. G. Yes, despite the differing opinions and clashes of ideas, we were still able to form a formidable team. Why? Because we don't make those 'differing opinions' and 'clashes of ideas' as reasons to ignore each other. We actually manipulate them to formulate refreshing and conducive scenario in our class. Bush surely could learn something from us! I'm uncertain why do my fingers keep typing words which sound 'mushy mushy'. One thing i'm damn sure of is i really appreciate the relationship we have binded since our old-olivia-twist days. After two semesters of working together, i only want to remember the sweet moments with you guys as those are what really matter in a relationship... @- >----

Me & My Little Boy(s)
hello.... hi everyone it's me again after being MIA for a while. now i'm back a more attractive person and improved. why you may asked? well i feel like a newer person after the language camp. prior to the language camp i'm known as a person who is incapable to tolerate with kids but after the language camp i have found a newer perspective of me that is i can actually LIKE children. well rome was not built in a day aned i can't change myself in a day. i now can categorize the kids that i like and do not like. first, i like active , naughty, and energetic kids. well they have to be real cute too.....talking about the kids that i don't like are the kids that are pasif, boring and all....

i'm trully sorry that i missed the post mortem of the camps. i'm truly amazed that i was one of the issue discussed in the meeting. i have been told that some people are discussing about my relationship with some of the boys and they feel that it is unfair to the other kids coz supposedly all of them liked me. well lucky me. the thing is that i dont think that we should be discussing that in thew meeting. shouldn't we be discussing abourt the games played and should i report all my conversations with the kids to all of the facilitators. by the way, Mr. G i didn't do it because i want to be some sort of a macho guy because i think i'm attractive in my own wierd way. Peace out.......

OOOHH...time is running up for us to send all our comments and of course, personal best web log. Well, I think all the entries are cool and interesting to read. So, it's quite sad that we need to post one best entry to get some points. hmmm..couldn't really decide which one from my upsaid as i cherish all my entries. Really personal messages there, oh ya, thank you for those who had give comments on my journal.
MY BEST ENTRY-
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT:

LOVE

Q: What is true love? How can you tell if you are in love?
You know the feeling. You can tell when he walks into the room. You know just when she will be in. You wait for any sign of recognition, a smile maybe just a look. Is it love? It’s a CRUSH. Infatuation is usually based on external factors such as the looks or prestige of the other person. Some love relationships begin with infatuation but usually ‘the more solid relationships’ begin with the feelings of friendship’.

Q: Well, what is true love then?
Love is something that doesn’t happen at first sight. It grows over time with the relationship. True love revolves around shared goals and commitment, mutual support, trust and care towards each other and accepting with each other’s problems and flaws. If you really love someone, you’ll accept him/her the way he/she is and at the same time, tactfully pointing out his/her mistakes.

Q: How do you tell the person you are going with that you want to break up?
The best way is to be honest. Kindly and tactfully explain that you simply don’t want to continue the relationship. Gently explain that you don’t want to be tied down to one individual. You may want to offer to remain friends. It will be painful but the sooner and gentler you do it, the better.


FRIENDS

Q: What do you do when a friend makes fun of you because of your appearance or your behaviour?
True friends don’t hurt their friends’ feelings knowingly. Try respectfully explaining your feelings and say exactly what bothers you. If the teasing continues, try ignoring the insults. If this person doesn’t stop bothering you, he/she is probably not really your friend and it’s time to look for a new friend who treats you with respect.

Q: How do you get people to accept you as a friend and allow you to join their group?
The best way is to get involved in school activities and meet people individually. You don’t have to try to break into some small, restrictive groups. You can be friendly to everyone and build many friendships. Be pleasing and have a warm, friendly personality. In time, you will develop friendship.

Q: What do you do when you lose a friend?
Sometime, friends ‘aren’t’ forever. Allow yourself time to mourn. Take time to let your feelings mend before jumping into another close friendship. You may want to turn to your other friends for help. You may also need to think about the break up and try to understand what happened and why. Sometimes, you realise that there wasn’t much to make you friends in the first place. A break up is not the end of the world. Try to look forward in making friends, better ones. Base your friendships on mutual giving of time, energy and affection. Then, if you go you separate ways, you will have a better outlook on friendship and on yourself.


heheh..to my dear friends, surely there'll be one best entry only, so I suggest that you guys read a particular entry in my journal entitled Frustration if all of us feel miserable and frust menonggeng when our entry is not voted as the best ok!

and Sue..the poem really inspiring..and how 'bout informing y'all address okie..some startling events might occur afterwards...hahaha...juz kidding frens..

Ahhhh.....almost everyday hang out at JUSCO! Bored...me and Sue even planned to measure the size of Jusco,how many tiles from one end to another..etc..today, (before Jusco again!) I want to ask a simple question: Why are some parts of the world rich while the other parts are poor? It isn’t brains. No place is dumber than Hollywood yet its residents are wadding in gravy. Meanwhile in Russia, where chess is a spectator sport, they’re boiling stones for soup. Natural resources aren’t the secret either. Impoverished Africa has gold, uranium and oil-Affluent Holland has none of those, and half the place is underwater besides. Actually we know the answer. And if people would just open their eyes to it, the whole world could be rich. hmm.....I think I better go out now before I start thinking of another out-of-the blue questions!

Helluu...how's life fellas...? can i still write sth about the language camp..we did post morterm but i forgot to say sth about it..heheh..nutting serious juz some simple story to be shared..people are too emotional..we should take example from things that happened.... is treasure hunt rings the bell..??heheh..well..somebody said it was chaos...i thought it was a game..initially i also thought that everything that happened was from my fault..and i was like feeling sorry for thekids cos they had to go around..then WE found out that..it wasn't ma fault..i didn't really feel iiritated cos i had better things to look out at that moment..lucky huh..i just thought it was agame..whoever were clever enough and knew how to follow directions then they were eligible to win rite...no heart/hurt feelings huh...As usual..as a quite an observant person..i've learnt lots of things from that...
btw, can i have all of y'all addresses and contact no.s...can all of u like pass it to me or mail me..TQ guys..enjoy life while u can...

this is my entry for the best entry thingy...
yeehahhhhh
well guys...i am back for another great entry..that is to my judgement. Anyway, yesterday night i wrote an entry that i thought of posting in today. However, i decided not to because by doing so, i am putting myself vulnerable amongst all of you who might read that particular entry. Guess it was too personal and also a little bit mushy to my liking. Anyway, today I would like to share a poem that I read ages ago. This poem was written by a husband to his wife as a renewed marriage vow after a marriage of more than twenty years. I loved this poem ever since then because it reminds me so much of my parents...it goes something like this..
the red rose whispers with passion,
the white rose breathes of love,
the red rose is a falcon,
the white rose is a dove,
but I send you a cream little rosebud,
with a flush on its petal tips,
for the love that is purest and sweetest,
has a kiss of desire on the petal tips.
you see..my parents had been married for more than twenty years and it brings a warm feeling to see that the two of them just continue to fall in love wuth each other more as the days go by. Both of them work as a great team that had overcome obstacles that only them know how it feels and of course the challenges that tested their ability to stay as one. With the vow of marriage a long time ago, they are no longer two people but one flesh. My father always tell me that he would want me to have the wonderful relationship that both of them have. You see..he told me one time that don't fall completely in love with the person that you would want to make as your lifetime partner, because by doing so, you left no room for your love to grow only for it to stay the same. Leave some space for yourself, therefore when the two of you decided to make that lifetime commitment, you will fall in love more everyday and you will never love less only love more...and yeah he also said that he is a lucky man because my mum chose him and that he married a perfect woman...his best friend, his partner and always his girlfriend....so feel like getting married people?

hai everybody..i have received few comments from some of you regarding my diarhoea (thank you aishah for the correct spelling)especially the good news from aishah!well aishah i have a good news too..hmm guess what? right now i'm with your beloved father!(sorry guys only aishah will understand the truth of this statement) hehe..just now i met shi ing, alariece and su.oh i forgot to ask for cookies and oranges.today i'm going back to kl with aishah's dad.aishah don't be jealous coz your dad love u too..:)emm actually i have something to say about the language camp. i think it is very important for all the faci to know well all of the games and songs that we are going to play and sing with the kids.i'm not realize this matter during the first camp because i was one of the facis, and i know how to play almost all of the games with my students and i only care for my students.but in the second camp, i go around the class and stayed in a few class.i found that some of the facis actually did not know how to play some of the games and also sing a song because they did not go to the previous class(Mr.G's class) when we play together.so what i'm trying to say is we must know how to play before we try to teach the kids on how to play.as a teacher of course we don't want to teach the wrong thing..am i right?and one more thing, we as the facis, we cannot just depends on aishah for give briefing for all of the games because she was very busy during both camp.so it is on our own to ask around if we have some uncertainty.

Hello people, its me again, from now on, i think i will have to write an entry a day since i think i have only contributed 2 or 3 entries to Blogger, not that i do not want to write more frequently but because it is so hard for me to get access to the internet. Anyway, i think all of us are pretty busy too. I have just come back from the CNY break and have been trying to get in touch with all the Language Games people and have left notes at thei upsaid accounts. Hopefully, you guys will reply to me soon ok. By the way, Yee Fen, if you're reading this, i cant find your name for upsaid, what is your username? the Language Camp we joint allowed us to touch the lives of many little kids didn't it? i once read a quote, it said: " Education provides us the opportunities to touch the lives of the children of today, and hence, education enables us to reach the children of tomorrow. We can actually create a better society if we continue to touch and teach the children well through the activities such as Language camps, what do you guys think? Gan out.

Dear People,
I think the language camp we went to was a total success. However, I felt the duration was totally, really, too too short. I felt so sad when we had to leave all the adorable little children all so too soon. I was only beginning to really feel to know them when it was already the last day. It was sad, very sad. I had learnt a lot from the camp, things, I never imagined I would learn. Overall, I feel that I have grown after attending the camp. That it for to day. Thanks.

Gan Out.

good news to tiqah: because of you, david duchovny has agreed to star again in the x-files (the story is in the process of being revived), with one condition- the plot focuses only on your diarhoea cases after both camps.yup...that's all...i reached taman u at 7 and saw that many of the shops are already operating. the scenario is so unlike seremban.when i went to terminal 1 and seremban parade to search for a pair of football boots, the shops i often visited were still close... they must be having an exceedingly exceptional CNY holidays that they refused to continue their businesses as usual...and i suddenly remember a thing related to CNY that i read in a magazine recently...for all of us who were born in the year of rooster, we must not sweep our houses for the first fifteen days of CNY if we want to have a prosperous year...eerrr, a question to chinese friends, is vacuuming allowed then? sigh, anyway, mas has just finished cleaning our condominium unit when i arrived...sweeping was included as part of her cleaning regime and that means...? thus, mas, to counter your mistake, you must give me a treat at TGI Friday this Friday... yani, wanna join? heheh... oh, this is a reminder to all of you...pay the jersey money or else mr g won't submit our final marks to the faculty...a very, very dominant lecturer, eh? just kidding... i agree with jc that those who celebrated CNY and got loads of angpow, you should spare some for the payment...don't just joli, eh...hmm,and it's ok if you guys want to give extra RM...

Oh Tiqah, I didn't know that you are that 'free'...count the number of cars, hehe...yeah, i know what u meant...Tmn U must be damn quiet..but don't think so for now, Miss JC is back, so look out for her...Red helmet is here.... Vroooommmmm, Vrommmm.... SHi Ing, thx for the add. I had been trying out 'blogger.com' and 'upsaid.com'.. kept asking me to refresh...couldn't also..so i gave up till SHi Ing contacted me..thanks again ya!

Yes, friends out there..welcome to our hse...for the delicious cookies...no ang pow only.....we don't give, just receive..hahaha!!!

yoohoo everybody!!!it was a tough journey for me before i could finally reach this thing...special thanks to mr.g for making it possible...although i nearly relinquished...merci beaucoup sir...hmm...i have to catch my bus to sCudai at 2.30 & now it's 2.10...so,i'll be writing again tonight...she'll be screaming 'yeehaa' when she comes...la,la,la...huh,can't contain my excitement of being able to be here...to juniors who will take language games next semester and are reading this at the moment,this is the most important message from me: DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO YOUR LECTURER'S ASSIGNMENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES COMPLICATED PROCEDURES AS THIS ONE.....

Best Journal Entry for Upsaid (I hope i get it correct)

Computer games and dummies

Not many people enjoy playing computer games and not many people who enjoy playing games love doing anything else.
There are a lot of people out there, whose hobbies vary from collecting shoes to saving different types of clothes label by famous designer. Hobbies keep someone from going insane from too much boredom and too much leisure time. A long period of leisure time leads to a few symptoms that are not good for the mind and body. Those symptoms include the softening of the brain, the inclination to sing weird songs, the electric connection to the stupid box and even to the extend of taking a 90cc motor all the way from skudai to jb.
Hobbies are good for health. It keeps the individual from participating in doing something silly. But sometimes an obsession with hobbies is also disastrous to the health and mind. So you cannot have too much or too little or anything. There must be a balance in anything that you want to do. Question arises when one speaks about eating. Yes eating is a favorite past time of many Malaysians and we boast proudly of our ¡®6 meals a day¡¯ practice. One might even tempt to compare the eating habits of Malaysians with the drinking habits of foreigners! Foreigners drink and at the end of the party they go back tipsy, happy and wake up with a bad hangover whereas for Malaysians, they eat, and at the end, they eat and eat, go back tipsy, happy and wake up having a bad tummy ache.
There is no relation with the first part and the second part ¨C it is just an article to let you think what you want to think and write it down! I am promoting expressive creativity within the individual and not to be afraid of presenting your individual creativity!

Hello my malay frens,
You guys didnt go back for the CNY hols?
That is very much weird i thought that everyone were looking forward to these long breaks.
Well does anyone have any idea when the classes are starting, i know that exams are around the corner.
We have to finish ESP work, anyone have any idea when does MrG class is starting again?
Mr G how come you are so quiet in your own blogger beside posting all these formal annoucements, we would like to hear some personal comments from you...it would be thought provoking i guess?
I am waiting for Tmn U to come alive and it would be soon i guess?
Hmm what is wrong with me, nothing i guess but remember to visit your friends journal and post some comments!
BTW if you would be so kind - post the url here so that it would be easier to access them.
THANK YOU!!! ;)

hello my friends...how are you?so the CNY 's holidays were finished.hmmmm...that means taman u will be busy again.for those who were not here maybe you did not had the chance to see taman u became like one of the dead city! 90% of the shops were closed and i can count how many car parks at taman u.its quite boring but for those who are driving i bet that you will enjoy driving in taman u during the CNY holidays.so i like to touched a few things here, during the last class Mr. G had asked for the differences between both camps and i did gave my opinion towards it.but i forgot to add something and i would like to add it here.well i'm not going to write the differences but i have the similarities between both camps.for both camps that i have attended i have suffered for diarrhea! or (cirit-birit!) for two days after each camp!i don't know whats wrong with my stomach but thats the reality.if there's something wrong with the foods why it tastes so good.and why i did not have problem with my stomach during both of the camps and it happened just right after i reached utm?emm i still don't know why it happened to me only...

Hello guys, guess what...I am back in town and that means that cookies and oranges are too!
So kawan kawan sekalian you are invited to 2328 to sample these goodies!

Hii....it's been quite a long time since i last signed in and wrote my entry here...how's life guys..it's great everybody's coming back again..i didn't go anywhere and didn't do anything for 3 days..and worst still..there's no electricity today in Melana...well..shall i talk about the language camp..language camp in Bukit Aping was a great one. I had good times eventhough it was quite tiring..it was not the language camp..but tired ever since before the language camp..mentally and physically..but those kids were some blessed from god..naughty and naive..yet innocent...3 days passed by and the langauge camp was over. I could feel how much appreciation those kids had for us..even one or two parents came out and thanked me for guiding their sons.as we all did anything we could do to help them rite....They started to realize that English is fun...The previous camp really opened my heart and eyes..i started to think that i should do this in the future as some community service..someone even supported and encouraged me though heheh....maybe i can apply this to my cousins and neighbour's kids..as it will be my minor contribution to the young generation...

helloo...finally come the last day of CNY holidays...got to go back this afternoon...if not because of the microteaching tomorrow, i may spend another day at home...thank u lina for reminding us of the ESP assignment...as for my grooup we plan to finish it up this weekend.did u enjoy ur CNY holidays?CLAP3x, TAP3x, YES3x.so sad as the holiday already come to the end..for me,,,,i did enjoy the CNY as i also received two red packets from my uncles who are chinese and maybe i've to allocate rm 15 from it for the red jersey.aishah, just wait for my payment, ok...actually i haven't open the packets yet..maybe later when i've already at tmn u..i do miss my nephew..as we spent lively moments for a few days...luckily i'll be meet him again when his parents fetch me this afternoon as my sis and bro-in-law will spend a few days at jb.today is a very peaceful day at my home,with the wind blow lazily...arghh...it reminds me to the camp,,when we played WHERE DOES THE WIND BLOW.... with the kids,,so funny when they didn't sure about what they've got to say..from person to "preson" from wearing to "wereng" and many more,,,miss the kids too....a few of them who are from lok heng invited me to their home,,,but i've no idea on how to get there......so faraway from jb.,,the kids really enjoyed the 3 days with us just as lina's told her..they told me that we've did a very good job there...nothing more to say about the camp,..hmm,,when is our next and last class for lg camp?i'm not sure if mr g mentioned it during the last class we had...maybe i didn't pay attention to that..but maybe somebody can give answer to this question.ok..that's all for today...to all of us,,welcome back to campus life.....au revoir...

embek...embek...and all the goats will be eaten by the mama lion...aummm!!!!! happy chinese new year and happy holiday to all my dearest friends out there...actually i don't have anything much to say in this site as it require us to discuss on things associated with the language camp ONLY and as for me...everybody has talked and nothing left for me to talk about. now i just keep on thinking on our ESP assign. as it will be due soon. maybe some of you will have the same problem as mine too. as for the t-shirt, i will pay to puan noraisah as soon as possible...i will. i'm also like mas are missing the kids right now as i just received one phone call from one of my fighting lion kids...she misssed me and asked me if we can come to aping again as she said that all of us taught her very much and she had a great fun during the 3 days of our stay there. she also asked me about 'abg.g'!!!....wow!!!!!....she sent her regards to the rest of akak2 and abang2...okay, that's all for now..see ya!

Hey, guys, life is kinda looking up to a person huh!
Nothing so monstrous to worry ¨C less worry on PSM, looking forward to practical teaching and each will walk their own way!
Hei this could be a new beginning or a closing to a very sad tale but what ever it is, I can assure you that it has been my most memorable.
Oh yeah ¨C owe MrG RM 15
There goes a dent in my angpow money! ;)
Hey MrG ¨C Chinese culture states that since you are older than all of us and you are earning money you must give us red packets. I don¡¯t mine not receiving mine as long as you give me 2 marks. ;)
The year of the Goat does not look so promising¡­according to a lot of ¡®sifu¡¯ readings the year of goat will bring us a lot of upheavals. All the animals are in for a rough ride. How true is that I have no idea¡­you read your zodiacs (English and Chinese version) and it contradicts each other¡­so weird¡­well it is up to the person to actually believe in all of that.
Well till the next CNY - Have a great goat year ahead! Embek embek!
