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......

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)

hi everyone. nice to see your journals. very, very long though. so, people, how are your PSM going on. i need your help for my Data. i am doing something about chat abbreviations in email and chats. it is about the use of chat abbreviation, for example, and = n, was = wuz, the = da, be right back = brb, and the list can go on and on. so, for those who are reading this particular journal regarding my PSM, and you are a common user of chat abbreviations, please do inform me by sending me a text of your previous email with all those precious abbreviations to my email id: luvali_cm@yahoo.com.sg. please be notified that your names and identity will not be exposed for my research. or else, if you guys have to known of ant friends using chat abbreviations very common, do inform me. i will really appreciate your kind and generous help. so far, i have heard that many of us have already started to continue with Chapter 1 and doing their literature review. all the best my friends! so, there you have already known about my title and please kindly share your opinions with me. i am dying to know what do you guys think about it. thank you for reading and bye bye.

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!

First post from me

Hallo! What's up! Posting this up is so hard for me as hard as what I received from the second class ( the 'F' joke!!!! ) but I believe, joining the language camp won't be such trouble for me. I'm quite excited to start the first language this weekend. It will be fun since I am going to spend my weekend wisely and perhaps more enjoyable. I've been to some language camps before, but I believe every event won't be the same to be shared.
having the experiences from practical teaching hopefully can help me in conducting the participants. The games are interesting and enjoyable...the facis are attractive, cheerful, energatic and bombastic!!!...believe me our language camps won't be dissappointed.
to all my friends, do kindly to help me during the camp, we need to share our experience and give hands to each other. We are still learning and we are one. Help me and my friends in rules and regulation unit. We've tried our best to list down and guide some good and exceptable rules for the participants. Let's work it out!
See ya next time!

Hallo everyone, Dini's here....(at last)

Aiyaaa, it's so difficult to get in here.I thought the invitation means nothing. Anyway, the coming language camp will be at the end of this week and I feel quite excited since this is my first time joining such activity. I have been elected as the medical team for Team A so I hope I can accomplish my task without so much problem.. Regarding the games that were chosen, I'm quite unhappy coz our game was not so admirable by people. What to do?? But we still manage to get 2 marks ha ha...Perhaps our game is too simple for university level..However, other people's games were kind of "vogue" and congrats to you all. I like Evette's game, Police n Thief coz I think the game is kind of exciting and quite "sustainable" as suggested by Mr.G... Last but not least, I really hope that our coming LC will be as planned and hope that everyone will learn something from this camp. Many meetings have been made n everyone has got its task. Let's make it real my fren..Have I reached 100 words he he coz i dunno what else to say... Till then, see ya in LC 2003...babai....

Hi I am Gina the sparrow, using Daniel's account to publish.

Hey, guys and gals. What are you up to? When I recall the games that our course mates demo to us, I must say that those games are really fun and interesting. I particularly like Megat’s “Build a Bridge” because the game is very creative and I believe a lot of us enjoyed it very much. I am just wondering will all these games be fun to the actual participants of the Language Camp. They may be hindered by their lack of competency in English and are definitely not as expressive as us. Another thing that concerns me is the question of whether or not the outspoken students will appear to be dominant throughout the camp while the quiet ones will remain quiet unless they are forced to speak up. Therefore, I personally think that the facilitators have to really mix around with the participants and do not hang around among themselves. This is important so that we can be more observant and be able to tell who are daring to speak up and who are not. Besides, facilitators should encourage the quiet ones to speak up, helping these people to restore their confidence in using English. In conclusion, the roles of facilitators are really important and we can create a significant impact on the life of the participants. What do you think?

Some Views on Language Games

Hi, everyone. How’s life so far? I think most of us have been anticipating for the coming language camps, right? From what I have noticed through my teaching practicum few months ago, language games are somehow effective in motivating students to learn English. During my teaching practicum, I was given two classes in which the students were hardly interested in learning English. Sometimes, it really disappointed me as they didn’t take any initiative to learn. However, one thing that has stimulated me to carry on was that they would participate actively in language games. Usually when it came to the last period of the day, it was an uphill task for me to catch the students’ attention as they were so eager to go back and at the same time easily be distracted by the noise outside the class. I found it effective to keep students’ attention “in place” through playing some games with them. Needless to come out with very sophisticated ones, games as easy as a crossword puzzle would help much in capturing their interest.

From the language game workshop last week, I noticed that language games are actually capable of capturing attention of adults (like us) as well, particularly when it was do done in a competitive mode. We have had a lot of fun and laughter, haven’t we? I do hope the participants of the language camps will benefit from playing the games. Thanks to all the groups that have been painstakingly preparing for respective games.

Below are some of my personal opinions and views that I would like share with all of you:

(a) Despite the fact that language games can motivate learners to learn, and they will surely have an enjoyable moment while playing them, we should not overlook the essential role of input delivery. What is the most important criterion in selecting a language game? Is it not the input that they learn through playing the game? Or to the least extent the reinforcement of the input that has been taught before, if not new input. My supervisor for teaching practicum gave me three questions to reflect on in preparation as well as the end of any lesson which I find important to make sure we have conduct a meaningful lesson. I am only highlighting one of them here, which is “What can the students learn in my lesson or the activities I conduct?” Therefore, I would like to strongly emphasize the input delivery part before any language game. The students need to be given some input so that they will be able to apply the particular input in playing the games later. In other words, the language games should be parallel to the teaching part. We should not conduct any language games for the sake of conducting it. If the students do not learn anything, the efforts being put into the games are in vain. If the students do not learn much from playing games, there are countless methodologies out there that we might need to consider. Why for to have language games? Honestly speaking, I have got a feeling that a low proficiency student will not gain much (in terms of language improvement) in the language camp if they are merely playing the games without been given much input. I noticed that in some of our lesson plans, there is no specific content been given. Although I do believe in the community language teaching (CLT) theory which suggests that learner come out with their own learning content which is parallel to their current language level, I still think that they won’t learn much in this way. Bear in mind that our language camp participants are low proficiency university students. We need to conduct games in line wit their language level and I believe most of us have already done so. Besides, we should also make sure that our games would cater to their needs, either for academic needs or for basic survivor needs.

(b) I do question about the way we select the games to carry out for the language camps. I think it was not sufficient enough to cover the different aspects of language learning. Noticed that we have quite a number of language games focusing on the word level. I know the importance of vocabulary acquisition in language learning, yet I think that if we focus too much on word level alone, the students will not gain much. I doubt the participants will learn much of the new vocabularies presented in the games as the words are only introduced with no explanation given. Additionally, they do not have the context from which they can deduce meaning as the words were all presented in isolation. Even if the participants have learned some new vocabularies, I doubt whether or not they are likely to attain the words in their internal lexical system, needless to say to use the words in their daily lives. My suggestion for the selection of language games to be conducted during language camps is that we should come out with the objectives and learning outcomes that are expected first. After that different groups need to be assigned different areas (namely the listening, reading, speaking, writing, vocabulary and grammar as well as spelling level, word level, sentence level, or paragraph level etc) to think of for the games, so that there is a balance in the aspects being focused on. This is to avoid too many groups coming out with the same aspects. I suggest that the way of choosing the games for language camps need to be looked into.

These are only some of my limited opinions. I might be wrong in some sense as I look at it only from the language learning and teaching perspective. You might have seen from other angles, such as the practicality of implementation in the given time span and so forth. I apologize if what I have written here has offended anyone of you. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Hi there! I am MOHD. SYAHARIL MADLAN using Kenneth's account to this posting.

I am telling you, this is an extreme frustration ever! i am in my last 2 lines when the whole writing gone. God knows! what has happened. i dont give my hope up when i realize there's in no way i can retrieve them back. I have to do it all over again. Well! Where was i stop just know? Something about the language camp, went to Tenggaroh, Bukit Besar and...and..and...Yup! that was the topic just now. Basically, i am are all ready for the coming camp in Kaizen. Since, i have been there before. I wouldnt say that it is just a nice venue for a language camp because in this wet season, the leeches and muddy areas could be worst nightmare. But you will be amazed by the calmness and tranquility of the jungle. The cicadas are non-stop singers and dont forget the more ofen than not, campers best-friend, mosquitos! The place also has a site where you have to climb to the top of a hill (not that high, no worry) by using a rope to witness such a perfect view of a magnificient landscape (maybe that's too much). But it was a wonderful experience to me. You are about to sense a revelation of a supreme power! See you there. bye.

Hi guys...this is Damien !!!!

Hi guys...this is Damien Mikeng...err...using kenneth's account.
Anyway, I am totally confused with all this blogging thing. I somehow lost my invitation from Mr. G...he..he...it is because i accidentally deleted it. Last friday was cool and fun, everyone was screaming and stabbing each other without mercy.This is awesome ya!? Dihah and I are very happy and excited when our game was picked into the top 8. This is overwhelming since i was dead sick last friday and broke at the same time when we were discussing about the game...and we came out with something fresh and exciting.Not bad for someone who had a fever and cold. Anyway, it was rather funny to find that some of us have the gut to form invisible alliance during the presentation..I mean like..hello!!?it is so obvious!Even a blind person can see something fishy is going on.I was pretty dissapointed at first but I forced myself to cool down(You guys know just how kiasu i am)and accpet my fate..But when the points has been counted and Mr G picked our game....I was so happy....By the way, I do hope this comments can be viewed by others as I don't want to missed the deadline to publish mine...So, I hope to see some comments from you guys......Give me some space guys.......I can't wait to go to the camp by the way.And I'm in the last camp trip....I can't wait to witness the fun,blood,gore..etc..blah..blah....as long as i'm with my great bunch of coursemates....I love you guys.....really..!?

hello friends!!!! what's up???? doin' good everyone???? just wanna share with all of you guys about the preparation that we've made so far for our language camps....
the tentative is the most important thing to prepare first of all...for the first language camp, the tentavi already prepared... the second thing is the activities that going to be conducted in during the language camps.... the activities would be the games... there are 8 games thatr have been chosen by mr. G to be the activity... as well as the morning and evening exercise... we have decided the treasure hunt to be the evening exercise.....
the facilitators' manual, the learning journal for the participants and the programe books are among the most important stuff for the language camps.... fortunately, all of these are almost ready by now.... things to be included in the three books are also been decided very very carefully...a lot of meetings have been conducted to decide on what to include in the books.... all of the facilitators are also given smaller tasks.... to manage on the language camps itself, food manager, the registration manager, the medical manager etc.... these manager have to make sure that their tasks would run smoothly on the language camps....
tag for the langauge camps must also be prepared... for our langauge camps, it it prepared by adam.... the banner as well must also be prepared...megat in charge of the design of the banner... t-shirt is prepared by hep....
i think that's all for the preparation for the language camps.... and hopefully, we can work together...TOGETHER AS ONE.... please correct me if there's a mistake,okay....
babai....

My Post

Assalamualaikum everyone! Million thanks to you guys for choosing me as the director for the Language Camp 2003. I’m so speechless and I don’t know what to say. I will try my best in being the leader for the camp and I also need your help to improve my own post so that everyone will be treated equally. If I make a mistake please let me know. I always make mistake. I hope that me and my group will make the language camp a memorable to the participants. I’m looking forward to work with all of you and to make sure that this language camp will be the best from the previous. Syarul Nizam Bin Shariff

ROYMOSTONREVIEW.BLOGSPOT IS NOW ACTIVE

LANGUAGE CAMP! HERE I GO!

A VERY GOOD MORNING TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE..VISIT MY ROYMOSTONREVIEW.BLOGSPOT!
Iam anticipated about the language camp. This would be my first and I want it to be an interesting experience. I belive we could make it happen. I have not think of a game yet for the second camp but whatever it is, games such as language-centred type are quite easy to think of although you need to bear in mind all the grammar and reguulations of English. The game needs to be carefully constructed from your thoughts. Think about FUN and LEARNING at the same time. No need to worry so much about the syntax or semantics (altough I really think of these two!) and most of all think about the happiness that will come at the end of the game itself, where glory and victorious cheers would be heard in the air across the boundary of impossibility of the fact that says English is hard!. "Winning is everything" like they say, is this true or how many of my beloved classmates agree with this? As for the upcoming second camp (Syarul will be in charge..take note thank you.) I believe learning is everything BUT in an interesting strategy and thoughtfulness. WQE had palnned the committee for the second camp and i pary to God it would be wounderful and exclusively exciting!..like a lyric by Melanie C saying,"YEH!YEH!YEH! IAM ON A MISSION,YEH!YEH!YEH! IF YOU WITH ME RAISE YOUR HAND!!" you bethca! Iam with you. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Hello!this is Nozi.

Hello
Actually, I was a bit disappointed because I didn’t attend the first meeting. It’s not because I don’t want to, but I was not being told. Thank God, they’ve put me in the first trip. If not, I’m going to fight for it. I heard from one of the group member that I will be paired with Siti Naterah as a facilitator during the language camp. I love to work with her compared with the other person. Shahrul, our Director works very hard and always works on time. Mr. Ghazali had asked us to create a game that can be used during the language camp. I was glad to know that mine also had been selected. On the 4th of July, we had practice the games together for about three hours started from 3 p.m. this is to identify which parts that had to be improved. Mr. Ghazali had informed that the students who are going to attend the language camp are mostly low proficiency level. Therefore, we must use simple vocabularies during the game. Most of the games are based on the group work technique. In my opinion, all the games are very interesting and everybody will love to learn English by using it. I gave my lesson plan and the list of materials of my game to Kenneth last Thursday.
After this, I hope anybody from the first group can inform me whether they going to make a meeting or any kinds of discussion. I asked one of them the reason of not informing me about the meeting and the answer had just broke my heart!. I don’t like to feel like I was being ignored by them. I miss my friends (my batch) so much. They were very supportive and an open minded person. I don’t want to be an emotional girl. So, bye.

Hi im Kamal

Ill Be Back!

our gameplan story

Hi guyz! Gee.....i don't know if this is going to work in my blog but here goes nothing. it was Monday, 30/6. Another 2 days to prepare our game and yet Pinah and I were still figuring out what kind of game would be best presented for the language camp students. after class that day, we went to the multimedia lab to check out whether the Internet could provide us with any last minute genius idea. my computer went slow, but luckily Pinah's didn't so she managed to save a few games. Back home that nght, we checked the games and it seemed that most of the games had something to do with flip cards. We were not that interested, so we started to think of other games. Suddenly, Pinah came up with this "Add One More' game. the game is simple. It's about spelling and all you need is mahjong paper and marker pen. We worked for hours to finish the gameplan, another 2 days that's why! iI's kinda hard to explain it here, but i guesst he game exhibition on last Wednesday helped us a lot.....and yes, our game was chosen for the language camp. Although it was a truly last minute job we were glad everything turned out to be just fine. Finally, for those of you who gave us two marks, mmmwah....love you guys! heheh, bye.

hi guys!!!

hi!!how are you guys....i'm now quite busy with a lot of things....PSM...class...test....puan azian...opss....but...i'm still survive...:)...hm..as you know,i'm also quite busy preparing for language camp...this is my third language camp and forsure it will be more exciting for me because for this time the participants are from first year UTM student....i've been to two language camps before, but those two were for primary school students and this one is for the students who are about my age....fuhh!!forsure you can guess what i'm think?!but.....inshaallah....i'll try my best....hopefully this language camp will be the best for me and all my friends...and forsure it will give us a lot of experience before we grad....
ok.. i think that's all for now...I'll write again soon. Bye!!!....opss...hope you'll comment..anything..ok..bye...:)

p/s:send my regard to your parents.

I am here!!! Ha! ha! ha!

Hello everyone! This is Madihah here. I went through many difficulties trying to figure out where should I go and what am I suppose to do here. Anyway, since I am already here, it would be nice if I can tell you, out there a little bit about myself and my experience going to my first language camp ever. Frankly speaking, I am not much of an outside activities' person. Until now, I did not involve much with the university's programmes. During week days I go to class and during my weekends, I just hang around and relax myself at home. Basically, that would be my everyday routine. However, I did join a few programmes that I heard students in universities would normally do or involved in. For example, I went to a "Khidmat Masyarakat" programme once when I was in third year. But of course, that was compulsory for one of the courses that I was taking at that time. Anyway, it was done in Felda Cahaya Baru, Pasir Gudang and it was a kind of activity where you would heve to stay with your foster parents for 3 days and 2 nights. It was okay, but I did not feel really comfortable living with people I didn't know. But, I think I fitted in quite nicely. The next big event that I was involved in was SUKAM whereby I represented Kolej Luar to play volleyball about two years ago. Our team actually did a good job cause we won the gold medal at the time. Although people might think that that was nothing, I was still proud with it. I think I have written so much things here. I will continue my story and go into details about my experience in Kluang next week. So, if you are one of the readers, thanks a lot and wait for the sequel of this story later. Bye!!!

beautiful day!

hi guys! today's weather is extremely nice and cooling. well a good day to play our games though. by the way, keep up the good work ya for those who were not selected! don't think that your game is not good but there is always room for improvement ok? as for my group as well! rite evette? anyway, let's just hope that today afternoon there will be no more rain so that we can conduct the game at taman tropika. ya talking about taman tropika, it's quite a nice place to visit though. for those who haven't visit i think it is recommended to go coz you will see beautiful flowers, leaves, trees,etc anything lar you can find there even cats!! a nice place to take photos too! and so we did! so i guess let's join our hand to make this language camp a success ya! good work and nice games everyone! chaos!

Bz for the coming language camp!

hi!
ok, straight to the point, i'm now quite busy preparing for the coming language camp.i only have one week to go...well, as for my task, i have to take care of the food for the participants, that's mean i have to make sure that the food will be serve at a right time. also i have to be in charge for preparing students' journal.i have to create the booklet for them...collect all the facis full name and their email addresses and more, i have to submit it tomorrow! phew! and for my task during the camp, apart for being a facilitator, i have to collect their journals...make sure they write and send the journal so that other facis (I guess) can have a look at their journal.

i also went to kluang last 21st and 22nd of June..it been organized by the JKM of KTC. Frankly i really enjoy during the camp. by the way the name of the program is "esurca"-english survival camp.it was my first time actually to conduct the students that about my age for the language camp. as u know, before this we only been as a faci for the school children.yeah, i think all of us did a good job..all of them also seem enjoy with the program.

ok, i think that i have 'over write' here...it must be more than 100 words(just count if u didn't believe it!). ok, i really pray for the best for the coming language camp that will be held at gunung ledang (if i'm not mistaken ;cause until i'm not confirm yet about the venue for the program). see ya next time

bye

Going to Gunung Ledang

I am off to Gunung Ledang today. No, I'm not looking for the Princess of the mountain. I wanna survey the place before we go there next week. 2 weeks from now exactly. People from Unit P n P, Miss Fatimah and maybe Aishah will be going also. Ta ta.

Finally!!! I'm in!!

Wow, this is really hard though! So many steps and problems happened to me in order to get into this gameplan. Anyway i'm glad to be able to join you all out there! Yeah!!! Well, getting ready for the new challenges in the future people? Whatever obstacles or problems that we face, let's just don't give up easily for I believe our God will help us through ya! Have faith in Him as nothing is impossible for Him! So people be confident in yourself ok? All the best in this new year! See you all around!

Let's Work Hard

Within these 2 weeks, we'll work very hard. We will relax later. Here are items needed by Friday July 4, 2003.

In soft and hard copy
1. The Program book
2. The Learning Journal (for the participants)
3. The Facilitator's Manual
4. The List of Items that the participants have to bring.
5. The List of materials needed to construct teaching aids.
6. The Evaluation form
7. Things to be phocopied

Friday Workshop:
1. We will play 8 games.
2. The owner of each game needs to provide a) The Lesson Plan to me and b) Students handout for each student.
3. Each game will take not more than 20 minutes.

Any1 has "Cast Away"?

Since we'r coming up with new things and also involving ourseves with technology... i think we do need to develop ourselves with this therefore we need to develop in computer competence... not just language competence... we need to make a difference in our society now and 'science and technology' is putting us behind.
How about the materials found in the market that can be used in our classes? where are they? Its very hard to find good language softwares that can be used in our classes. Take for example literature can we find softwares to teach literature in classrooms? i don't seem to find any around here and most softwares available are not suitable for classroom teaching. For may assignments we have to come up with language softwares (this is especially for computer subjects) why don't we compile or maybe create a new literature software for teaching literature... wouldn't it be worth for us to use in ur future classroom activities? What do you say?

DUH

Hey guys!!!!! What's up???? doing busy with all the camps right now???? just wanna share some experience with all of you guys.... on the 21st and 22nd, i've went to kluang with another 5 teslian friends.... reason????? well, we were the facis of a language camp, the name was ESURCA.... that stands for English Survival Camp.... this camp was organized by Biro Akademik JKM KTC.... and they invited the 6 of us to be the facis.... the facis????? aishah, zam, diyah, megat, dihah and myself.... there were about 50 participants altogether and they are from the first year, second year, third year and fourth year....at first, i was scared ya know... i've been to two language camps before, but those two were for standard five and six primary school students and this one was for the students who are about my age.....that scare me... yeah, we've been to practical teaching but then the age is still the problem.... but then, after actually going to the camp, i found out that this was the best camp i experienced..... between this language camp and the language camp for the primary schoo; students, it was totally different, from the way you handling the students until the activities that hav4e been set up for them.... hm, talking about the activity.... we got interesting activities ya know.... there were two mock meetings, a sketch, an advertisement, cheer etc.....the activities that have been set up were very different from the previous language camps... and from the participant's jurnal, i know that they had enjoyed themselves very very much, and so do we, the facis..... all of us had a very good time there, and i glad i went....

First of all Hi to everyone! Second of all...i am going to the Language Camp! Not one but TWO...yup, two Language CampS....! There will be a meeting with En Faruk this afternoon so guess my role today is to absorb as much info as i could (much like a sponge i guess!) Then for the 1st camp....like all of us...i will be one of the Facilitators....guess my role would be-1.Motivator-to motivate these students to do the best as we are not here to judge but to have fun! 2.Confidants-As someone to listen to their difficulties in learning English and to share with them my way of learning English (As my English was and is still not perfect!) 3.Observer- To observe the progress of these students and the whole program in general in generating a clearer picture of the influence and advantages of laguage games in helping poor learners of the language to achive the desire motivation and awareness toward the learning of English.(Phew! Now thats is a mouth full!) I will see how my roles will play apart in ths language camp and hopefully before the next camp i will be able to re-evaluate my roles to enhance my responsibilities the next time around!

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'kum n hi to everyone who's reading...

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!

yay!
a class this tuesday??? i've been bumming around too much my behind is numb. at last!!! somewhere else to go besides jusco!! ahh....tiqah, dun be too sad, i'm sure u've collected enuf ***** !! hey, mrG, wad r we gonna do this tuesday?? do u hev a surprise game 4 us?? does it include a trip down to kenny rogers???kekeke....just joking! arked meranti serves just as well! :P hmm.....yeah...i seem to see a flood of messages down blogger n upsaid recently.....hehe....i'm equally guilty! anyway, yeah, there are so many interesting articles!!! how are we gonna choose the best?? i think everyone has got a message to deliver and i find them truly meaningful. relationships, family, facts of life, musings, etc. from these i think i'm getting to know lots more about us than there is meeting the eye. it's great to read what actually plays in other's minds. well, as a conclusion, i'm proud that we've stuck together all these while without any major complications.......and this is what i'm hoping the world to be..........peaceful, forever.

Due to what u said Aleriece¡­I do agree...we must be very grateful destined to be born here...in MALAYSIA..!!! Such a wonderful country...with free spirit people...crazy huh... have u ever happen to watch tv shows such as Oblivious and The price is right? 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.
