I'm back again!-FARRAH COOL-

Hello everyone..it's me again....anyway... i don't have so many times to write...just a little bit...just 50 words maybe...because i have to meet amirul at around 9.30....we want to discuss about discourse assignment...so, in order to wait for him...i went to the internet section in the library....to check my email..and off course to visit blogspot.....hm...tomorrow we will go to our first language camp for this semester...somewhere in Pulai...i'm feel so excited....very,very excited to wait for tomorrow...but at the same time...i feel quite sad...you know why??because my buddy.....adila...cannot go for this first language camp....she will go to Shah Alam to attend her brother convokesyen....but...it's okay...after this, we will go to another 1 language camp...and maybe it will be more interesting....and for the other things...congrate to abg sham...(his brother...)and forsure it will be the great motivation for adila to settle her study by next year!!!hehehe......
ok..i think that's all for now..for those who will go to first language camp tomorrow...GOOD LUCK...and ENJOY YOURSELF!!bye........

Hello...wake up and smell the coffee..

hi everyone..finally....I manage to worm myself in..he..he....Here go the fun!!!!Erm, I am totally not as blurry as some of you might have been thinking. In fact, I want to share with you guys my thought and ideas....To begin with, I hope everyone will join their heads and hands to make it happening..well, maybe .er...who knows..Mr G will be kind enough to publish "US" in some magazines...ok..that would be magazine with an "s"...like what he did last year. Maybe I can grab the opportunity to parade myself in magazines..ha..ha..Well, everyone has their own fame and celebrity moment at least 15 seconds once in a lifetime..don't you guys agree with me...This is awesome ya?Anyway, this will be the time for us..the 4SPL to see how we can work and not just do the talking like most of the time....Yeah, the worst part is most of us just love to do the talking err...That would include me also.he..he..Anyway, back to the issue. I'm quite worried or very distracted with some of us who is just not very serious or positive with our works and somebody else 's efforts..Ok, guys. I have to be straight to you guys. Please be polite or at the least to let a person to voice out his or her idea.And not just complaining and bashing each other..I heard from the some "reliable sources" that some of us really act like spoilt brat when it comes to meetings and discussion. Pardon me...or EXCUSE ME for being nosy (I know I haven't made it to any of the meeting)..But guys, this is not it is suppose to be. We have to learn to respect others' views and at the same time accept our own mistake..I mean like..HELLO?!!!If we keep on killing each other..Honey, we're busted!Ok.enough about my humble comment (s) towards some of you..no hard feeling! (well, if you want to slaughter me; just give me some feedback ok? Anyway, I have to say that I am happy to see that this course (language games) has brought us closer after all this while...It's normal to see some people with long face while some are happy but; at least all this hardship will help us to link us intimately....I just wish all the best and I really hope that everyone is enjoying the games and the upcoming events!!The camp!!!!bye..that's all for now.
Love and kisses,
Mien......

hi there... this is my 3rd journal (from, Caroline - uppu-)

hi there people!
how are you all doing? thank you to Gina(personally) for your interesting comments on discourse analysis. thanks to Evette amd Willie too; asking me lots of questionsabout UPPU and 'the separable'(hihihi). so, the topic that i would like to discuss now is regarding the way of dressing called trendy. i am always with my slacks or jeans and a simple collared t-shirt all the time, plus my matrix card. well, many have asked me why not wear something that belongs to the trend now? well, i think i will only start thinking about trend after i have started working coz that's when i have lots money i guess. now, i believe it is rather not practical to purchase all those expensive things just to show us off- and who are we? just students!! i mean that is my point of view! how about yours? what do you think? do you agree?

my second journal ;) (from uppu - caroline J)

hi there!!
well, so far so good. many are writing about interesting topics. that is really cool. so, i have planned to talk about the assignment for our discourse analysis. well, i guess it is tough one. going out and collecting raw data. transcribing nearly 40 pages of data. gosh! isn't that a hectic life style. just imagine that we have to undergo all this stuffs just to get a piece of paper called degree. and what's its worth? nearly everyone has a degree. imagine taking up masters later on. wonder how many tough and hassle assignments we have to think about. that should be lots of it. we write and type so many papers just to get one thick paper called degree. ahaha. catchy isn't it? well, that life i guess and i bet it is just the starting of our future. only god knows how our future will be, plus our efforts and civicness of course. well, what do you people think? do you agree with me?

Finally...........

I'm here....at last......I was just about surfing my e-mail when I accidentally came across this invitation to join this site......it's amazing....at last I have the chance to write like others do...plus.....USING MY OWN ACCOUNT.....hehe.......what to say......first and foremost I would like to thank all of you for the support and guidance....telling me to do this...and that......and now...I'm in front of this pc writing something about nothing......

I would like to say SORRY....really sorry.......for not being able to join you tomorrow (language game class).......like I've been telling everyone lately...I'll be away..........and that means I couldn't join all of you for the games.......ahhhh......How I wish that I can spend sometime for that......(To Mr G, I'm really sorry...I promise to be good next time).....the workshop last Friday was a really brilliant experience for me.......it was the day....when we can see the true colours and faces of TESLians......full of fun......I believe that everybody was having a really great time........including me.......and tomorrow's games, I guess will be much better.......Just good luck to all those who are performing their games tomorrow.........

About the workshop...all the games played are excellent......Zatie......there's nothing wrong with your game.....it's really challenging...every group tries to keep what they have in their mind....and that's quite tricky......ADD ONE MORE IS JUST GREAT......(ehem.......are you typing this in Miss Fatimah's class?).........(hehe....just joking la......).....

Last but not least.....to those who are joining the language camp this Friday......just do your best and pleasee.......come back in one piece......

SO MANY THINGS TO DO...........

Hey, I'm back!

Wow, it seems that everybody is in full gear, trying to finish everything at the same time. I know all of us are practically busy with our own business but hey!….the blogger web is getting fuller and fuller with our comments as I surf it day by day. Hmm.., which means that everybody is trying their best to publish their story, eh? Ey, so do I!

Today I just wanted to say my zillion thanks to all the people, including YOU who are currently reading this God-knows-what story. Thanx for being extremely supportive towards our simple, sometimes tricky sometimes not game, Add One More, by sharing your thoughts on how to improve the game. Gee…I’d never forget the moments when you guys tried really hard to make the game better. You know what? I must admit that it did feel different that day….oh you know, I used to be among the spectators, keeping my thoughts to myself, then suddenly I was standing in front of the class listening to you coming out with this superb genius ideas for us. Hahaha…don’t worry, that didn’t annoy me much, but rather an interesting experience to improve my understandings of English. I know I can count on the TESLians for help, right?

Aaaaah, yes, before I end in want to say I enjoyed each and every game that I played the other day at DK6 BK7 very much. GOOD JOB people!!!!!! For the rest of the game, although not selected for the camp, I just couldn’t wait for its thrill. Aaaaah, for the facis who are going for the language camp this Friday, have a great journey and make those participants come back home with that oh-so-English-smiles, hehehe. Till then, chow!

Dear Fellas!!!
Hello, everyone! It's me again! I think this time, I know exactly what should I write in this gameplan section. Today, I would like to talk about this coming language camp that will be held most probably, somewhere in Pulai during this coming weekend. For this first language camp, I will be going as one of the volunteers. The participants are first year UTM's students and there will be more than 100 of them. All of us, who will be going to the camp as facilitators had our first meeting on Thursday, about two weeks ago. During the meeting, my friends and I were given the responsibilty of setting out the rules for the participants all along their three days and two nights' stay in Kaizen Camp. Our "disciplinary team" which consists of me, Naterah, Chiau Ching and Shuhada have set out the rules which govern several important aspects such as safety, punctuality and a few more aspects, which I have already forgotten. And during last week's meeting, I just found out that the Treasure Hunt activity, which will be incharged by Syarul and Kama will also involve the participations of the facilitators. I hope I will have so much fun in this language camp. Anyway, one more thing that I would like to share with you readers, is that last Friday, the Fourth Year TESL students who are taking the course of Language Games in this semester had a workshop for about three and a half hours. During the workshop, we have tried out 7 games which will be used as language activities for the language camps. The games that have been tried out are Bingo, Add One More, Flip A Card, Snap, Sentence Scrabble, Othello and Build A Bridge. I noticed that during the trying out of the games, Mr. G and other coursemates gave us(Damien and I, who had come out with the Othello game or its original name, Draughtsmen On Parade) lots of information and opinions on how to improve our game so that participants of this coming language camp would be able to play this game successfully. Thanks a million, ya' all!! I think that would be all for this time. I'll wrire again, soon. For now, bye guys!!!

first timer from Carol(uppu.blogspot)

i'm back muagh hahahahahaha(KAMAL)

Oh darn i don't know what i'm gonna say here but what the heck i'm here already so i might as well write something, right? So how are you guys doing, what about the language camp, anything new? i have good news for u guys, it's about the treasure hunt that we are going to have in camp Kaizen. Shahrul and me are the one who have to handle the participants during the treasure hunt. we gonna have so much fun looking at them whlile they carried buket full of water everywhere from check point to check point. And by the way, we also need you guys help during the treasure hunt. Anyone want to volunteer sitting at the check point? Oh come on guys this will be fun, i promise! You guys only have to sit at the checkpoint and make the participants life miserable. It's fun right? This language camp gonna be my second and third. I dont know why but i actually like being at the camp. And by the way i hope that the camp will be held at someplace else other than Kaizen. Even the name of the place make me sick. By the way, whose gonna supply the first aid kit. I'll be incharge of the first aid unit with Madiha of cause. I have something to confess here, actually i know little or might as well say nothing about first aid. So i hope you guys can lend a hand if something happen at the language camp ok? By the way, what actually happen to izzati's game? I totally lost touch with it. No hard feeling eeei Izzati. Through out the process of testing the game, i have so much fun. Continue the good work guys. I hope that my game would be chosen, but it's not but hey what the heck, i'm stil;l having a great time. Ok this is it for now. ADIOS TESL AMIGOS.

Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to all of you...
I am very gratefull because I finally have a chance to go to a Language Camp. Actually,I kind of like to join this kind of activity since my 2nd Year here. However, I was unable to organize my life as a student and as alover;),so I just jept this hope silently in my heart. Thanks to this course, I am finally given a chance to help others to love and enjoy English. In this upcoming camp,together with Masdini,Kenneth and Syaharil,we are incharge of the selections of songs that are going to be used during the camp. Working with them had provide me a chance to actually learn to co-operate with others. In addition,they are born to be creative!Syaharil had actually created a song, adapted from the American Idol theme song;God Bless America.He had turn it to be 'God Bless LCA'. Kenneth,Syarul,Masdini,Syaril and I had created the camp's theme song-untitled. Hope you guys will enjoy the songs. Last word from me- WORDS WILL ALWAYS BE WORDS UNLESS YOU PUT THEM INTO ACTIONS... Au Revoir!
