Virus alertss!!

Hello to all TESLians!!!! anywhere its been a very long time since i've written anything on this blog BECAUSE of very damned virus attack from d net!!! blaster32 i think its called so had 2 reformat my comp... been off line every since i came back from d camp last week.... 2 all those who have Windows XP/2000/NT bware because it would most likely attack your PC's system shutdown menu.... from what i've read it will crash your system if u dont deal with it soon. symtoms occurs when ever you are online... it automatically shuts down ur PC... after dat some programs cannot work like your norton, find and ets... so the best way is to install a FIREWALL into your comp fast, at least prevention is better than cure... (FIREWALL is a security system designed for blocking unwanted internet uploading or downloading into your comp from any invisible programs like Blaster32) SO get 1 fast ASAP!! this is a warning brought to you by Evette hehe... hey its really true ok... so with all the PSM n assignments coming its better to be safe. this virus would be continuing its attack until the end of this year... so if ur comp hasnt been infected better do it quick because it will just randomly select any TPF address that means any comp that is online!

Anywhere to a more enlightening news..... heard dat d previous camp was Great! plus from all the comments that were posted... well i see we have lots of ducks swimming around d 2 camps already... 3 cheers 2 nuri 4 being or very own mother of all ducks in d Camp A!!! hip, Hip Hurrah!! :) Nah just kidding nuri... anywhere the students really loved d duck song... it really motivates people n letting them have great fun laughing at themselves and also others antics hehehe..... well 1 big happy laughing family right! Hey i really enjoyed a great time at d Camp... well hope we'll be able to do it again next semester... Can we Mr. G?? hehehe.... anywhere all da best to all the people who are handing in their PSMs this week hope you will do it well....all the BEST and God Bless you all!!!!

SEKAKAP (read it the way the Thai greet people)

Hi everyone!! At last, we're back. What an experience, what a camp and what a view... I enjoyed this camp sooo much that I couldn't resist the temptation of the beach. And for that I have become the ducks of the camp (joined by Damien (who started out the idea), Dinie, Affa and Abang Syah. Not to forget, the oldest duck of all, Mr. G) Quack..quack..quack.. Before I forget, I would like to say sorry to everyone for my absence on the second day games. I had a terrible headache. Anyway, it's great to see some of the best facis in this camp. Like I mentioned to some of you, if there's such thing as All Star Language Camp Facis, I won't hesitate to vote for this one. Apart from that, it's good to work with some of the new faces. At least, by this camp I know good they are. My salute goes to Illa, who handled this camp so well. Without your leadership I don't think we could have such a 'smooth going' language camp. Then, Kenneth, our respected Camp Comander. I almost pissed in my pants (can I write that over here?) when I saw that look on his face that morning when he scolded the participants. (Too bad, he jumped around and sang something just a second later) Hehe.. Then to Abang Syah, Kak Linda, Megat, Dinie, Damien, Farrah, Diyah, Gina, Caroline, and Dihah, without you, this camp wouldn't be this great. I told you one, I told you a million times I really enjoy working with all of you. Eddy, Elle, Affa, Sue, Zati and my partner Pinah (thank God she chose me and not Megat); it's an honour to team up with you and learn something new together. Last but not least, thanks to averyone who helped me for the Amazing Race. IOU. What else...emm..perhaps that's all for now. Sekakap is truly something not to be forgotten. Thanks for the memories...

P/S: We shouldn't forget to thank Affa for that loud 'sound effect' during the Build the Tower Game. Haha...

5 Post (3. Preparation)

The preparation for both camp was very fun and exciting. We made all the materials by ourselves and aside from that we had joy we had fun we had Mr. Ghazali with us too. He's really supportive and that includes Mr. Faruk, Cik Fatimah, Dr. Norazman. They rock the TESL people out of the crib. You know what i mean? Anyway we prepared everything (not everything though) for the camp. We were prepared with mental, physical and spiritual before the camp. Everything went smoothly as i mentioned before.

Hmmm...!...a sign od satisfaction!

Hi! We are back...Sekakap was really nice...the sand, the sea, the sun...who could believe we were having a camp...it was like a weekend getaway for me...and it was free too! It was nice working with everyone...really enjoying...everyone did a fantastic job! This camp was more relaxing and stress-free and we could really pace things better! Participants were ok, not too many 'shone' like in Kaizen though. Food was really nice, like the chicken rice alot and the BBQ...hmmm...really good! This time I was the Camp Commander (like could you believe it!), and i had to run around just a little more but i had to be really punctual! No lying aroung in bed a little longer...or "loathing" around doing nothing...! Hehehe! I got to know many participants were scared with the 'look' I had on their arrival in my "love envalope"...hehehehe! That was great to know! I heart felt thanks to everyone at ESL Camp 2003, Lecturers...this was really a memorable experience! Go go ELC go! And the best part of all, we really had "Big ducks and Bigger ducks" dipping in the sea! Muahahahahaha!

Some suggestions for language camp

a) Language camp is really a good time for the participants to have fun and at the same time learn the language. There would be a great number of things learned by the participants, via the games and the activities. I personally think that the camp would be more "sustainable" if the participants can learn something more useful and practical for their daily communication, particularly something on basic survivor language use. For example, greetings, introducing oneself, asking for directions, asking for help and so on. This is to help them learn something basic in the language as the first step to express themselves in English. (Remember the things we learn in French? Those are something for basic communication)
b) I noticed that some of the participants really showed great enthusiasm in learning English. They took initiatives to speak in the language, putting aside their "issues of losing of face" when they spoke broken English. I was particularly moved when one of the group members kept "bothering" me with the lines he had in mind for the drama (I manage to attend him patiently). Even though it took him a long time to say out what he intended to express (through English), he did not give up using the language. My suggestion is that, if possible, facilitators are given chances (or I can say, ficilitators should grasp every single chance) to share with the participants about their own journey of learning English. I am sure that some of us have also gone through hard time developing the ability in English. Perhaps our sharings would motivate and inspire the participants to move on in learning the language.

5 Post (2. Games)

The games for the language camp is perfect. It is designed for lower intermidiate and intermidiate level which best suites the first year UTM students. We prepared enough materials for each games. The easiest game was win lose or draw. The participants liked it and so did the faci's. The name of the game that we used is Flip a card; Add one more; Snap; Othello; Sentence Scrabble; Home Sweet Home; Build a tower; Bingo; Charade. We also add some new games. Overall the game was very challenging and we had a great time playing it with the participants.

5 Post (1. Responsibility)

The language camp A just finished last week. I had to be the PRO for the camp. It was an unusual experience for me and i had a great time. Other than that i helped others to prepare the materials. It was fun working with all the faci's and the best part is that i got to hold one walkie talkie during the camp. Everyone did a good job and everything went smoothly eventhough we still have the problem with time management. We covered it pretty well like professionals. The hardest part was taking care of Mr. Bahar and The Spirit / The Spirits. It was scary cause when I followed him to his dorm, in the dorm i can feel presence of spirits. Scary but nice. That was the toughest job for me during the camp. Other than that, i have to say "I'm speechless!"

I WANT TO GO TO THE LANGUAGE CAMP!!!!!!

Hi, guys, nice to hear some great things from you about the language camp. Well, even though i have to handle one group alone, by my self but actually i have enjoyed the freedom. Thanks to Mr G and Nater for thrusting me to do my job. By the way, i have really enjoyed myself working under you Nater, i don't mind if we are having you as our director again if Mr G want to have another language camp. For all the facilitators that went to camp A, congratulation guys, you guys ROCK big time. We have our own superstar back at Sekakap, lets give a tremendous applause to Kak jija (nuri). She is the best thing that ever could happen to camp A. All the facis this time around is so capable of doing their work independently. I am so proud to be at the same language camp with you guys. I would not think twice to go to another langauge camp if the one who organize it is you guys. I don't have anything negative to say this time, everything is totally awesome, all the positive wave in Sekakap is in the air. For the rest of the facilitators you guys are totally out of this world, come hell or high water, i believe that we can handle anything if we stand together. I am so really proud of you guys. The conclusion is we ROCK BABEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. We rock BIG TIME.

It's Here

Hello how are you? Friday is here and this will be the last camp for me hehehe! Must say i am really looking forward to it! I never really like camps but laguage camp, that is a different thing...guess this will be one of those last time we will actually be working togather huh??? :) so lets do the best and enjoy!!!!!!! To all who are doing their PSM best of luck! I am really doing my best but im still a little stuck and actually im running out of time...but i am hoping to make use of this weekend to actually rediscover myself and to connect with people and around me to rejuvinate and recharge!!!! Sound like a Malaysia Airlines Gateaway Holidays Advertisment huh?? Anyway have fun and good luck and also God Bless!

Camp A: Pleasurable cooperation among the facilitators

One of my unforgettable experiences about organizing this language camp would be the pleasurable cooperation among the facilitators. All the facilitators worked hand-in-hand to ensure the smooth running of each and every segment of the camp. We have had a very enjoyable time working together towards the same goal, haven’t we? Throughout the whole process of working together, I noticed that our relationships were actually being built up. Everything was going fine and smooth.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those who helped me in preparing and conducting the game “Build a Tower”:
(a) Mr G who gave us the idea of refining the game from “Build a Bridge” to enhance the applicability and suitability for language learning. Thanks for his ideas of how the tower should be built, as well as in solving the problems occurring during the game (solution to the lacking of blindfolds and also simplification of the complicated structure of the tower while the participants were having problems in building the tower). Besides, thanks also for his comments and suggestions on how to make the game better.
(b) Nate and Evette who have assisted in the building of the model tower.
(c) Adam who responsibly prepared the materials for the game.
(and not forgetting the help from three of you in the demonstration)

Camp A: Some Positive Aspects

Congratulations to all of those who have contributed, either directly or indirectly, to the Language Camp over the last weekend (15-17 August). Your efforts have made the camp a success. There are a few positive aspects that I have noticed during this camp:
(a) There was a constant and extensive exposure to English for the participants throughout the three days two nights camp. All of the participants were exposed to a great degree of English through the language games played, the songs sung, as well as the activities taken part in. As a medium of instruction, English was used in all the programmes and activities. The participants were also encouraged as well as given chances to use English in their interaction with one another, regardless of their accuracy and fluency, as long as they spoke in the language to get meaning across. I noticed that there were quite a number of participants trying painstakingly to communicate in English. Wasn’t it a good sign?
(b) The participants were motivated to learn and speak English, at least to a certain degree. They have gained new insights about English learning, that learning of English is all about having fun. It is no longer sitting in a classroom listening to a boring English teacher speaking in an alien language. In playing games, the participants’ affective filter was low, especially when their attention was on winning the games. As a facilitator, I was motivated as well especially when I received a “love letter” from one of the participants, promising that he would never give up learning English. Whatever we have done for the participants was not in vain, as it did leave an impact in their journey of learning English. Wasn’t it something encouraging?

Here Are Some Jokes

1. Sengkakap, Sengkekek, Serkap
2. Let's go into the jungle and do something.
3. You should change your institute.
4. Tooth medicine.
5. A mango is not a padlock.

I know it's not funny now. I guess you have to be at the camp to appreciate these jokes. One more thing, do not be afraid of the rumor that says one of the participants was possesed by a spirit. He has a psychological problem which is best treated by professionals. Submit yourself to God, then everything will be okay. Insyallah.

MR G. YOU ARE WELCOME TOO.

MALAYSIAN TIME:1143;15th of AUGUST 2003.

DEAR MR G, THESE ARE MY ENTRIES FOR YOUR EVALUATIONS:

LAST MIN PREPARATION

RED ALERT! RED ALERT! everyone!! the camp is on the move!We have prepared all the needed materials adequately and also all the souvenirs plus prizes too. The destination si set too to witness the BEST starts from 15 to 17 of August in the year of 2003. All facilitators are packing thier bags full with appearance and style things. Not forgetting the CONFIDENCE IN HEARTS and HONORS IN SPIRIT. Come along with us to create, craft, and construct anotehr SPLENDID PAGE in history of UTM. Support us not just with good luck wishes but PROMISES. On the 15th during the departure, it is the MOST PANIC, HECTIC, COLD AND EERIE day for us. Not because we feel any faer or remorse, OH NO WE DON'T! I REPEAT WE DO NOT!! This particular day's atmosphere is responsible in giving us the STRENGHT and POWERFUL PUNCH to BOOST our energy and GIVE NOTHING BUT THE BEST BABY! All campers are ready, busses are leaving sing along along the way. As for us, the DESIGNER, COSTRUCTORS, MOTIVATORS, FACILITATORS, faithfully ROLLING OUR WHEELS OF RESPONSIBILITIES to get the train going. Nothing comes in our way or standsin our way if it is possible and allowed to because we have good deeds, desire and lastly DUTY TO BE SRVED TO THE UNIVERSITY, TO OUR MANKIND TO OUR HAPPINESS IN RECEIEVING AN A PERHAPS, to our PARTICIPANTS OF FELLOW MALAYSIANS and perhaps TO OUR NATION itself! No kidding. YES SIRREE!!

GAMES

All of the ganes are prepared sufficiently, intelligently, though-provokingly in a camp-manners style (that soon captivates the hearts of all campers)and crucially adapted to serve nothing but the BEST, one could experience in a single camp. I like all the games, although mine and Eddy's did not make it to final to be the chosen one but HEY! its is already written inside the BIG BOOK OF 2003 LANGUAGE CAMP of MR G!! Thank you. All of the materials are well prepared too and although I came late for the workshop day (sorry Camp Queen..didn't mean to hurt ya) I believe all of it are ready to be rumbled. Here we go again. Camp A would soon be the talk of the town and suffice it to say, I rely on these games to be the chosen ones to trigger all campers' determination and confidence in English alertness. Well, the games are set, lets ROCK the Sekakap with our ROLL of style and positive acts. Gamers! be prepared. We have the BEST game bullets, better shield your brain with nothing but trying only the best and feel nothing but happy experience.

THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITIES!!

This is the big R in the camp. My 'R' is giving a briefing precedes the camp and try to be nice and easy with all the campers. This 'R' is given by the Camp Queen-Ms. Nate - YES a ms. Well, we need an equilibrium here in the ultra-masculine world -of -today's-era. She is a great Dir too. This 'R' im arguing positively about is not just giving a briefing. Iam also contempt to give a BIG SHOT at the camp A though I alreday missed the bus!!to be better as facilitator, to be observed as a disciplined guy and possibly as a role-model during the 3 days camp. Camp A needs me and needs my big 'R'. Here Iam waiting to be ordered to do whats best. All campers UNITE! and we are going to ROCK N ROLL around a little bit. Mr G, my 'R' is also centred approvingly on being the BEST in motivating my group members. If I could not wave any magic wand to make them speak like the Americans, maybe I could touch thier heart n soul to have a little taste and urge of how does it feel to utter an American word or English. Yes! thats what I do best! No magic trick, no wand, but Yes motivation yes spirit and Yes trying!Mr G and my fellow classmates - THIS IS MY BIG R!

"HOLLER TO THE WORLD! WE GONNA SPICE UP THE CAMP!!!"YEAH!"

Language Camp!

Finally tomorrow will be our language camp. I wonder how's everyone's preparation? Ready to go for this one? I hope those who are going to this camp is mentally, physically, spiritually prepared ya! This language camp is not just me alone but it involves everyone. So let's put out hands together to make this one a success ya! Well, for those PSM due this coming Monday, i hope you guys manage to finish it on time. Mine is almost done, need to do alteration abit then submit. It is really stressful if you don't finish now before you go for the language camp. So my advice is that you all try to finish up so that we can enjoy the language camp. This is for your own good too right? Anyway, i just want to wish all the best to our Director, Miss Nate and the rest of you guys. Let's go and have some fun ya! Till then! Chaos!!

WATCH OUT FOR THE LATEST UPDATE ON ROYMOSTONREVIEW.BLOGSPOT AS THERE WILL BE ANOTHER EXCITING NEW EPISODE FOR YOU TO DIGEST IMAGINATIVELY

THERE WILL BE ANOTHER NEW BLOG ENTRY IN ROYMOSTONREVIEW THAT WILL LEAVE YOU IN DEEPER IMAGINATION AND INTELLIGENCE!!!!!!COMING SOON TO YOUR MONITOR SCREEN!!!!!

Working session...It's today, guys!!!

To everyone who's involved with language camps,

Today (August 13th, 2003), there will be a working session at Nate's house, M1-05-045 in Melawis, at 3 pm. Everyone who is going for language camps by the end of this and next week should really attend this working session and for those who are taking Language Games with Mr. G, attendance will be taken. So, make yourself free to go. Basically, what we are going to do today is preparing the materials for this week's camp. Besides, we will also discuss everything about the games that will be played during the camps today. Remember to bring your scissors, markers, glue and anything that you think might be needed for this working session with you when you're stepping out from your place to go to Nate's. We will need all those stuff.

Well, for this coming compulsory language camp, I'll be going to the second one that is next week. For those who are going to Sekakap during this weekend, all the best and a very good luck to Miss Director, a good friend of mine, Nate. Anyway, for the next language camp, I am given the responsibility to be incharged for the game "Flip A Card" designed by Adam, and the name has been changed also but I couldn't remember to what. Regarding the next week's camp, will there be another meeting? Cause I have just noticed that, have we divided the workload? I mean if we already have, what are my responsibilities except from conducting the "Flip A Card" game and being at the 7th check point for the treasure hunt? Maybe I should refer it back. Anyway, if we are going to have another meeting, I hope it can be notified earlier since all of us do have very a hectic schedule these days. I guess that's all for now. Have fun during the camp, guys!!! Signing out....bye!!!

FACE THREATENING ACT 4 MY PEOPLE!!

Ai everyone..Feelin great?? Seems not fine, everybody's complaining about not having enough time for assignments and project of the year, but how come il see our cozmates around at Jusco, leisuring but at the same time complaining he he (excluding me ya). How's discourse test just now? tough huh but i still manage to 'goreng' few sentences on the paper. It was really distracting seeing Megat being the leader of the discussion team this morning coz i didn't really prepare myself well for the test. Everyone seems eager to vomit all their intellectual discourse, and at the same time escaped CALL class.Being very busy throughout this week, let's not forget bout Language Camp. 3 days more to go before the camp premiere but I see everybody relax jerr. As for me, very sad lorr coz i can't join my dearest housemates for Camp A. What to do, family comes first! Anyway, I really hope that people in Camp B will accept me as I am despite hearing bout my weaknesses. Zillion sorry to Royzal coz i'm unable to be ur partner, maybe next time and i really have to find my new Beckham. To Damien, how's the evaluation form for drama title? Hope we can work it out during the workshop. To those who will be going this week, good luck and hope our camp will be succesfull and achieves its objective that is to promote English speaking environment in UTM. Not forgetting bout having fun , that's how English should be learn, rite? Syarul, is it true that TV3 will be doing live telecast for the camp? or is it in your dream??Okay la, got to sign out, my PSM is calling and threatening me "DO PSM or EXTENTTTT. Takoot larr...

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

i am down on my bended knee, watching on how is life revolving around me. With a remaining energy i focus my vision to forecast what is it in the near future that will determine my way. with all that sadness and happiness coming in every gliding day. i realize, we are being given an option to choose where we want to go. when we feel like everything has been destined by the supreme power, the option is actually still lying in our hand. whether you opt for a good or a bad that's when the happiness and sadness that have been destined to go along will come on your way. sometimes, undesirable event befall on us. it requires us to think deeply on what have we done that we deserve the unwanted. i come up to a conclusion, every thing that happened in our life everyday comes in a sequence. Go revise the past for the root of things is lying there. Then you will able to see which steps should be rectified whatever it is, Life is beautiful.

Food,Drinks,BBQ and....

Yaoza people!!!going to the BBQ tonight!As for me, ermmmm...too bad.I 'm afraid that I can't make it to the party.I have to go the tuition class.My children will be waiting for me to give them more homework.he..he...Maybe in the near future...er..*hints..hints* TESLian Night before our graduation..So, want to do it poeple?I'm waiting for that!he..he..fuh,a lot of things and incident happen this week.It is such a BAD HAIR DAYS for me.Lets' recall back:
1. Monday, hand in the Discourse assignments:which most of us reluctant to because the outcomes were the products of last minute jobs..(we just never learned our lessons about last minute works)
2. Tuesday,most of us were bashed by the *Makcik* during the computer presentation, thank God I missed that one!!
3. Wednesday,most of us failed to show up for Mr.G's class..hey just where the h#&l are you guys..we had so much fun though!!!!But, later we had the language testing quiz...BZZZZ....blur sotong!!!
4.Thursday,scared half to death with the new assignment given by Dr. Azizah.THe due date is this saturday.This time,all the blur sotongs in the class were roasted with anxiety!!
5.Friday,I missed Dr. Annie's class for two days now and I have to go to the bank to withdrwas some money to pay my house rent..this sufferings just never stop!!!
well,that's all folks...hope the best and chow da mow!!!

its party time!!

hi there ppl!!
how r u guys doing? must b a relieve as all those major assignments have passed by already. so, i bet u guys must b preparing for da discourse exam. so, the hot topic is regarding the BBQ. i wish i can go, but duty stands in front of me. can dump the duty. hope u guys know what duty. hahaha. the assignment la. what else. so, hope that u guys have a nice time in the BBQ session. anyway, sum of u guys will b away for the language camp nex week. so, double the celebration, hah? that is really nice. cool stuffs going on around. chill out guys enjoy while u can.

om

tesl huha-yeah right!

The language camp is getting nearer and people seems to be really excited. The assignment loads are getting heavier, have you guys finish yours? Well i haven't finish mine yet, but who cares right? It's actually our own responsibilities, if we don't want to do it, no one is going to do it for you. For the next language camp, we have to do our best. We need to show that we can work well together. If someone make mistake"s" and i stress on "s", dont be afraid to tell them. It is for a greater cause. When you show them what they mistake that they have done, they can improve it, RIGHT! We TESLian must stick together during and after the language camp. By the way Shahrul, if someone does'nt want to go to a gathering it is their choice. You have to understand their situations and contexts, ok! well that's it for me then see you next time figuratively speaking...... he he he he. GOOD LUCK.

So hows da preperations for the next language camp?? i haven't heard anything happening since we last met in the comp lab befor the hols. anywhere hope everything is up n running and no last minute jobs :) hmmm seems that i oso need to do just dat. :) anywhere i some people think of spreading rumours pls don't just do that alright... n spreading rumours is actually a very bad habit... one can get 'cancer' after that... and also make others have it to... yes its true... and this is not an act of bonding when its objective is to bring down people. you are actually distroying lives! and if you ever hear any rumours please look for the person they are talking about and ask them themselves. wat for you need to believe on assumptions made by other people! i mean common people our class is small don't start to make division in our own class... what happen to unity!

I don't mean to be "menyibuk" but pleaz, show some commitment towards this subject by contributing your marvellous+precious+luxurious ideas..or may be just a little piece of ur writing. i won't be that hard, right fellas?

hey, how about our game presentation diz morning? yeah, i know it seems quite messy but that all the best that we can do for that moment. we have been preparing the game for last two or three weeks, and then when it time for us to present it, we don't seem to have the spirit+enthusiasm of doing it..sorry for any messy thing that happen during our game presentation this morning. feel open to eccept any comments from u guys..

wealthy healthy

hi there people!
h r u? i m not really fine. my bp is kindofa up and down due to some reasons. during my holidays, i was going through this book published by CAP.(CAP means consumer association of Penang) you will not believe what i read about all our food stuffs that we take all tihs while. it was reall gross and well, someone has to do something about it seriously. do you know that the yolk in the egg is so yello coz of dye? do you know that all processed meat stuffs are actually bad coz they tend to include the tongues, guts, intestines of chicken, beef burgers and sausages? we are also endangered with e-coli bacteria with taking the vegetables from certain markets?
anyway, all the best for your LTE exam...

p/s:one doesn't has to have a degree in Marketing to sale like ME!!!all you need is the language and brain...

ATTENTION TO KENNETH....

Its Dini here. Actually rite now i'm also looking for people who would be kindly enough to switch with me. I'm suppose to go for the first camp (camp A) but somehow i really really need to attend my sister's graduation day on the 16th in UNITEN. She's the only sister I have and I really need to go. It is also bcoz I want her to turn up for my graduation day later. So let us discuss with Mr.G and see if it is possible. .Chow!

Achtung Mr. G!

Mr. G, I'm having a little problem with my link to my blog. The link connects to my previous blog (englishisfun ;p). Could you please link me to my new blog (mukahantu.blogspot.com) Thanks!

Its A Great Idea!!!

:: I think that's a great idea from my friend Mr. Sham...Sham is trying to get real deeplly into his heart...I know what you mean bro and i just wanna cry...inside tears are getting to my eyes right now :) ...well anyway what do you suggest Sham?...not everyone turnd up and i think we could invite the lecturers too??...or is it just among us only??...Why not we do it after discourse class this monday?..."Cannot malam ade action research", other people would say "Aku takde transpot la", "some would just not pay attention to this creepy guy talking in front about having a gathering once a week...some would just walk away and say "I ada hal la"...and the result, you guest it, not everyone turnd up...and a few would say "Buat la hari yang kita tak busy nanti semua boleh datang" (yeah right, lame excuse)...

:: My point Sham...you need to change yourself first, then people will follow you...you can't change them because they're like that and they're already blend to it...it's not that i don't want to join but then not everyone will show up and it will make me feel like (i guess you know)...Sorry if i said anything bad or made you upset or sewaktu dengannya...and to all of you, i don't blame you guys cause everyone has its own color and its very colorful (Mr.G's words)

::Mr Sham your link from gameplan doesn't work and how do i go to your new website?


:: I'm doing this music video, it will be my second video...plus in the CD i'll include all my classmates information (latest), the lecturers and a short video clips from all of you...i need help from -

-::- someone to collect the data (biodata, pics, and sewaktu dengannya),
-::- someone to type the data
-::- someone to do it in Macromedia Director (i can teach if you need help)
-::- someone that can help me burn the CD's
-::- all of you guys to make this possible

at first i wanted to make this as a surprise to all of you but then i changed my mind cause you guys ask a lot....i'm doing this because i love you all and i don't know what will happen in the future...it will be a lot easier if everyone could chip in...thanks....if there's any questions, just send it to my guestbook...

:: I got the video from the last camp and those who want it can give their names to me...it's only RM2.50...I deal with Malaysian Ringgit only...

:: Sorry if i upset all of you...i'm just a human being and i always make mistakes...thank you for your cooperation!

:)

Sorry Sham i got a lot of work to do...plus i think i don't have time...i want to but i got plans with my girlfriend and lots of assignment to do...its my final year and i'm very busy lately...sorry...(just kidding around bro) :)

WE ARE AT WAR!!!

Behold for the week of chaos...

Testing test, Discourse, SPT, (for me) Bimbingan Kaunseling, Methodology II... (feel free to remind me anything that I forgot)
Are you up for it? Hehe... scary huh? Anyway lets hope that all of us will do this well.
As for the language camp, before it starts, I just want to share some thoughts with all of you. Okay, for some who went to our first night out at McD back then, I've told them about my wish, my hope.
Well friends, as some of you probably noticed, there are some of us who'll be graduating in the next few months, rite? But, let us think about it for a while. What will happen to US after that? The 2000 TESLians? We used to be proud of ourselves, we used to be proud to stand as one even when others diss us? They even thought we shouldn't be here (remember the Khutbah Jumaat?) Anyway, what I'm telling you here is that I want all of us to be close once again. I know some of you might say why should I care? We're already close. Now that's bull****! I know all of us notice that there is a GAP between us. Even if it small, it's still a gap. Rite? So now I'm asking for all of you to help me to help us become one; at least for these few months that we have. I know that I have Adam, Syarul, Kenneth and the rest for this. But I want more out of you. There's a lot that we can do together. We can have dinner together, we can go for a picnic (Adam), we can play bowling together (Damien) or anything that you can think of. It's not whether you have no money, no time or anything. WE just need your (honest) presence. That's all! Now, I hope there will be no more excuse like "Malas ah.., aku keluar dgn boypren, gopren aku..., aku ada banyak keje, ini, itu..." Anyway, I just hope that we will never be something like our 3rd year junior now. Please... at least when we know each other better, we can work with them better because we will know their strength and weaknesses. At least this will prevent something like what happened at the language camp the other day where there was a lot of 'over-expectation' going on. That's all. Never have any preconceived idea about anyone anymore. Get to know them. How? Be with them more...!

SOS Help Me!!!!

Hello everyone, i got a problem...i am suppose to be in the last camp and i was wondering is anyone at all could do a switch....i know this is kinda a short notice but i am really hoping someone is kind enough to do the stwitch with me....it is really important and i hope Nate, Ila and Mr G could help me out there...my main worries is that there might not be enough people in the last camp to help...so...please help me by giving me some suggestions thank you :(

this is TECHNO

hi there!
that idea of mr. G's is kindofa great too. finally we have something besides the lame photocopied notes. a cd full of notes, articles, n ... all this while i was thinking there was nothing great in utm inspite of the engineering programmes to reflect that we r studying in a techno varsity. then, now we have a chance to have our notes in a cd form, this is really, something cool. that beats the sspt subjects too! yeah, anyway, someone has to start first, right? thanks to Mr G. (clap, clap)

SONGS FOR THE CAMP

Language Camp Tango

by Kenneth, Syaharil, Nurizah and Masdini

We come from far to gather here to be together
To learn and play with one another friends forever
In this camp we learn the language to be better
It is so easy if we learn it all together

Learning is fun I am sure you will believe me
Throw your fears behind we will learn it for free
It is so easy I will try to make you see
This camp will help you learn it better you will see ( X2)

[My Comment: Each verse is too long. You should have no more than 5 words in a line. Make it easier to memorize and a little bit catchy. And one more thing... add a solo rap session into it. Yo!]


Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Now if you need me
Call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Don’t worry baby
Just call out my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry

CHORUS:
‘Cause baby, there ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you, you could always count on me, darling
And from that day on
I made a vow
I’ll be there when you want me
Some way, some how

CHORUS

And no wind (no wind)
And no rain (no rain)
Or winter’s cold
Can stop me, baby (oh baby)
‘Cause if you’re ever in trouble
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me, baby
Oh baby

My love is alive
Deep down in my heart
Although we’re miles apart
If you ever need
A helping hand
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can

CHORUS

Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you

Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you


Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you (X2)

Ain’t no mountain high enough
[My comment: I love this song. Keep it]

Three Little Ducks

Three little ducks that I once knew,
fat ones, skinny ones, two by two.
But the one little duck with a feather on his back,
he ruled the others with his Quack! Quack! Quack!
Down by the river they would go,
wibble wabble wibble wabble to and fro.
But the one little duck with a feather on his back.
He ruled the others with his Quack! Quack! Quack!

[My comment: I like this song. It's funny.]




My Hat It Has Three Corners

My hat it has three corners
Three corners has my hat
And had it not three corners
It could not be my hat
Repeat: Omit Hat
My … it has three corners
Three corners has my …
Repeat: Omit Three
Repeat Omit Corners

[My comment: An okay song.]



You Are My SunshineNorman Blake
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away (X3)

[My comment: Short and sweet. This is a nice song]


RED RIVER VALLEY

From this valley they say you are leaving
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you want of the sunshine
That is brightened our pathway a while

*Then come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bit me adieu
Just remember the red river valley
And the friends who have loved you so true

For a long time my darling I'm with you
For the sweeper you never would say
Now at last you're my thumper that valleies
For they say that you're going away (Repeat *)

[My comment: I hate this song. Omit it]

Calorie-burning activities
Proper weight control cannot be attained by dieting alone; however, many people who are engaged in sedentary occupations do not realize that calories can be burned by the hundreds by engaging in strenuous activities that do not require much (or any) physical exercise.

Here's the guide to calorie-burning activities and the number of calories per hour they consume.

Beating around the bush . . . . . . . . .75
Jumping to conclusions . . . . . . . . . 100
Climbing the walls . . . . . . . . . . . 150
Swallowing your pride. . . . . . . . . .50
Passing the buck . . . . . . . . . . . .25
Pushing your luck. . . . . . . . . . . 250
Making mountains out of molehills. . . 500
Hitting the nail on the head . . . . . .50
Bending over backwards . . . . . . . . .75
Running around in circles. . . . . . . 350
Climbing the ladder of success . . . . 650

p/s:I've tried most of it!Now look at me,I'm even thicker !

There there!

Syarul dear dont upset with the whole thing...i know your story in Australia and i understand you very well! But plEase remember this, we are ALL learning...and this is a proses. We are not as fortunate as you to have the experience of being Dowm Under and i feel for you, it was suppose to be the best experience for you yet due to some attitude problem of certain people you never really enjoy that victory of yours. You mean well and i know that as you want all of us to work really well as not to make those participants feel unappriciated...thats really sweet of you...but really Syarul dont take it so hard and please dont take it out on our coursemates, this for most of us is a beginning of many graet things to come!Those organizers in Australia , they probably do this kind of things all the time so they are profesional at what they do...i believe no one started perfect...it is through learning experience like this that we learn from each other and improve ourselves....as for your not so sweet experience in Australia...i only have to say this..."bitter experience is like a handful of sand ,letting would risk you of losing it, yet holding on to tight hurts"...buang yang keroh, ambil yang jernih...you need not have to suffer and dwell on the bad things that happens to you, focus on the better things in life because there are just to many bad things in life to think about and life is just too short for all those "what if"s and "how it could be"s or "how it should be"s....yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not for certain, live today to its fullest! *Muaks!* Let us all give Syarul a group hug!!!!

3 weeks 2 go!!!

So guys are you prepared already for the next camp?...we better be cause this time we need to make it more fun than before and people are watching us…I think we still have time management problems and we really need to fix that as soon as possible…we need to train our self and focus on it…I know it’s a game but we are not the ones who will be playing it…it’s like the Amazing Race (the real one not for our camp)…you only know the contestant part but you don’t know how difficult to run the thing and that would be the organizers part…it’s the same thing like us, we are the organizer and we need to make sure things run smoothly…some of us would put the ego part a little bit higher than the normal level because WE ARE THE FACILITATOR…now that’s wrong, we cannot ‘berlagak’ cause we can speak English better than the participant…my point is, we are helping them out in this English situation and we are the role models…if we act like bunch of maniacs we will get no respect…it’s just a matter of we’re good in the English field but the attitude, SUCKS!!! We need to do this professionally and don’t think about yourself only…we’re in a big group and we need each other in this situation…we need to make sure that we will also have a good time and be serious on what we’re doing…some of us just do it for the MARKS, MONEY, and I don’t know…if you have that attitude, throw it away, doing a good thing is hard and you don’t get the reward just right after doing it, but in the future, insya’Allah…i've been in that situation before and i think you guys have been too...i know that we’re still a student but you just need to think more than that…I hope that the next camp would be more exciting than before and let us make it like we have never made a language camp before…YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hello people!!!

Hi people!how's everything?well, some of us are going back to our hometwon now!!As for me, I'll be happy with my pillows in Melana for the rest of the week.Anyway, how's the assignments guys!too busy to talk now huh?I was so frustrated this morning because I woke up late for the 9 o'clock meeting for the language game session.All my housemates pretend that there is no meeting as I was taking my shower and shouting my lungs out (a call for them to wake up!)Well, they obviously won the gimic!Anyway, how was the session?enjoy yourselves?By the way, is there anyone here be kind enough to borrow me his/her walkman just for one day....I really need it for the discourse..I hope someone outhere can really lend a hand for this....anyway, hope everything will be fine..ta.ta..And oh ya....remember to drop by my page and if it really bothers you; do at least wirte something here....it's not healthy to talk all by yourself ,you know...

i have a busy life......

what a busy life i have right now......lots and lots of work need to be done and due dates to be catched. i think that you guys also have the same problems. well, supposingly, this gameplan is to talk about the language camp and the works that to be done before and after tha camp right. just wanna share that tomorrow i'll be going to mersing to survey the place together with ila, adam and dr.norazman. i hope that that place will be a better place than kaizen. this morning, we had tested one game to mr.g's uhb students. it was build a tower. well, personally, i think that the game is good but just a suggestion next time we the facis should come out with more challenging tower to be built by the students. it seemed that the towers that they've built this morning were quite simple and easy. we should give them harder than that. ok la no more babling here, got work to complete. that's all pray that the trip will be fun and safe. papai.

A Report from the Medical Unit in Kaizen

During the first language camp of this semester, that was held in Academy Kaizen, Gunung Pulai, Naterah, Kenneth and I were incharged of the medical unit. Before we went off to the camp, we had been notified that medical kits will be provided by HEP, therefore no preparation was made for this unit. Just before we departed, Kenneth gave me his small but complete medical kit, that he was bringing to the camp just in case people from HEP forget to bring it. It seemed that Kenneth instinct was absolutely right. There were no medical kits at all from the HEP. It was very fortunate that Kenneth had made early preparation. However, we had to share one medical kit for male and female participants all time during the whole camp.

In overall, we had four cases of non-emergency medical situation throughout the whole duration of the camp. During the first day, Friday, July 11th, there was no case of participants or facilitators got sick. However, on the second day, Saturday, July 12th one female participant vomited after eating nasi lemak after the morning exercise. Naterah and I took care of her and we gave her suitable medication with "minyak angin cap kapak" to help her losing the feeling of vomiting. We asked her to rest in the room because she was also having headache. After sleeping and resting for a while she was okay and she joined the program again after lunch. Later that night, one of the female facilitators also had stomachache and she stayed in the room with one other facilitator. After resting for a while, she was okay and she joined the program again at 9 pm.

Early in the morning of the last day, Sunday, July 13th, one male participants accidently cut himself when he bumped onto the glass window. He had a small injury across his nose but he was okay. Kenneth helped him to clean up the bleeding and he applied some oinment on the injury. Later, in the morning, one of the male facilitators also got sick but after resting for a while he was okay again.

Although we did not have any emergency cases during the camp, we should be more prepared next time. The only problem was that we were supposed to have enough medical supplies or at least two medical kits, one for girls and one for boys. One more thing is that, facilitators should also know how to handle any common medical situations or at least they have some knowledge on how to handle them. Other than that, everything was okay. For our next camps, hopefully we can confirm with the HEP first about first aid kits, just to make sure, they will bring them. That's all, thanks.

WAZZZUUPPP, DINI'S BACK IN ACTION!!

Hi and Asalamualaikum. First of all, I would like to congratulate Naterah, my buddy cum my housemates, as she has being chosen as the director of Camp A. Personally, I think she deserved it and to Nate, always remember that we will always be there to support you. As for me, going to next camp is the opportunity that I have to grab since ‘someone’ asked me to ‘improve’ myself there. After the first meeting that day, we have agreed on few things especially on the materials and program books. I will be in charge for the drama title with Lelaki Bidayuh Terakhir a.k.a Damien. Basically, we will have to discuss on the theme that we need to assign the students to act. Apart from that, I will be in team with Syaharil for Checkpoint 5 for the Amazing Race activity. I like my tasks and I hope that I can do well for the next camp. I’m hoping that for the next camp, no power struggling occurs and we can really work in one team and support each other. It’s a good suggestion that we divide the materials for each group earlier before we depart for the camp coz through my experience as the ‘material’ girl in Kaizen, we won’t have enough time to prepare it there since the time is packed with other activities. Ok, till now, good luck to all the TESLians going for the LC and to my partner to be, Mr Royzal, hope you will be happy working with me, your desirable ‘POSH’ he he he…:-p .Bye!!

Get BUSY!!!

What's up guys? Getting busy before holidays? Or maybe no more holidays in your mind.
I'm getting busy with all assignments. What to do???

I'm impressed with some of you who can manage to complete your works on time. For me, every due date is killing me. After the meeting conducted yesterday, I started to rearrange and confusing my mind with such bizarre schedule. I started to search for 'short cuts' and most of them I believe can't be applied with others. What's the point of having meeting and meeting, planning and planning, when the cooperation received and given are less. What's the purpose of giving ideas when they seem surely will be rejected. Then, here, there and here, there...all are negative comments heard and talked. Come on guys, work it out!!! Work your plan and fulfill your promises. Giving ideas needs helping hands too.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow we need to work the plan again. Let's do it again. Some of the works seem to be the same as we have done before. Take it seriously. All camps are related and all of us are one.

See you again surely in class...(if I'm there...hehehe)

hi hi hi

Dear all,
I'm back...but...oh please....what should I write here? Hmmm....I'm eager to get involve in the second language camp that will be held in Sekakap. I've never been there and it's been a long time since my last camp....how I miss the journey...
After our previous meeting yesterday,I can't wait to be at checkpoint number nine....along with Nurie...haha....The treasure Hunt will be amazing....I'll take GOOD CARE of all the participants....

This is interesting....I think everybody's eager to go home this coming holiday....even a friend of mine has left and skipped classes just to spend the holiday with his family members....but guess what....we are not that free...there're assignments that need to be submitted before the holiday begins and a number of tests and assignments also need to be considered after we're coming back from our hometown.....I believe that I have to sacrifice my holidays again this time.....
So many things to do and I don't know where to begin.......huh....
I have to go.....to finish my assignments so that I can spend the holidays with my family....
To those who are going back...happy holiday.....
take care.

A Cat's Diary

Hey people, I found this and it is so dead-funny!It's just similar to what we write in our journal. Well, here goes nothing...

Day 751: My captors continue to torment me with bizarre dangling objects. They eat lavish meals in my presence while I am forced to subsist on dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of eventual escape -- that, and the satisfaction I get from occasionally ruining some piece of their furniture.

I fear I may be going insane. Yesterday, I ate a houseplant. Tomorrow I may eat another.
Mimi Pok Cere

p/s:Be strong guys, the cat is us, the captors are the lecturers and the "bizarre dangling thing" is our assignments..like it or not, we have to go through all of this.

aiii

aii guys..well there's been a lot of talking and comment's done regarding to the latest LC. as for me..because i'm was not there i cannot say much..but all in all you guys rock! you guys have fun..the participants have fun.. and at least some of them tried to speak english by the end of the camp. this is just a plain thing to think..you know teslians are very talented,full of ideas and competitive..yet when we are working together..please try to listen to other people ideas..give chance to other quiet people to contribute in the LC and don't be too authocratic. it is not whose ideas being used or getting applaused but how we co-operate and combine these great ideas and produce a very da vogue the vast LC. anyway to Naterah..do your best..show your talents and you know your friends are always by yur side..
enjoy your holiday and happy transcribing (DA)

ENGLISH LANGUAGE CAMP REPORT: 11-13 JULY 2003

ENGLISH LANGUAGE CAMP REPORT
11-13th JULY 2003

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Students without credit for English in SPM result have problems to compete with others since their ability to learn is limited to their English language proficiency. The introduction of English medium instruction in 50% of subjects taught in UTM would further challenge the students.
1.2 The English Language Camp program aims to motivate the students to learn English by providing them the confidence to communicate in English. Activities in the Language Camp cater the development of students’ physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual needs in learning. The camp takes the approach of experiential learning where learning English is fun, exciting and interactive.

During the camp, several post mortems were held between 12.00 midnight -1.00 a.m. in order to solve minor problems that occur during the day.

The Language Camp program was a successful program receiving positive feedbacks from learners. All sub categories were rated between GOOD to EXCELLENT. The learners also felt that the facilitators, though fellow students, were competent enough to handle the project. All sub categories were rated between GOOD to EXCELLENT. The facilities were good enough for them to provide a meaningful camp experience. Except for the toilet facility, which is rated 2.95, all sub categories were rated between GOOD to EXCELLENT. There were several water supply interruptions throughout the camp duration. The participants had ample quality food thus they rated all sub categories between GOOD to EXCELLENT .They understood the objective of the camp and were willing to participate in another camp like this, probably at a different proficiency level. All sub categories were rated between GOOD to EXCELLENT. In short, the camp experience was highly valued by the participants.

11.0 CONCLUSION
As a whole, all the participants seemed satisfied with the camp and they really enjoyed the activities conducted in this program. There are many indications that language games, main activities of the language camp, help students to develop their language skills. It provided learners the opportunities to spontaneously communicate in the target language. The camp offered an enjoyable informal learning atmosphere that banished boredom and promoted motivation to learn. The activities contributed to an atmosphere of healthy competition and provided an outlet for creative use of natural language in a non-stressful situation. Nevertheless, the issue of low attendance needs to be addressed so that resources provided for the future camp are not wasted.

A big project!

Hi people!I am planning on something here. So, all I need is your current picture(nice one...not the boring passport style) and another is your picture when you're still small...I hope everyone gets the idea and just do it.

P/S:I'm a big white vegetarian shark!

POST MORTEM

I really think that we have done a good job for the first language camp. Even though ego may have been bruised, feeling may have been hurt but its still a successful camp. We cannot escape from making mistake because we are only human. It is because we are human that we can learn from our mistake and try to improve ourself from it. During the post mortem for the language camp, many of our fellow tesl students that was not there during the actual language camp thought that the camp is a failure and the fcilitator there hate each other guts, but its actually not true. Post mortem is a medium that we use to improve our mistake. if we have problem that we want to discuss we can do it in the post mortem. Post mortem is not about pointing fingers at each other but to improve our camp and to spill out all the thing that we feel towards each other. If a person make a mistake we must state it out during the post mortem. It's not like we are trying to hurt peoples feeling during the post mortem but we actually need to make them know about their mistake so that they can improve their way of handling thing. People including me always does not notice about the mistake that we have done, so post mortem is a very crucial part that we need to have. If we need to point finger at someone in order to make sure they do not repeat their mistake, so be it. It is better than talking about them from behind, why don't we just tell them straight to their face. Maybe next time we will think carefully before we do or say anything. In the post mortem, its not just about accusing and telling people that they have made mistake but it is actually a medium that we need to use in order to speak out whether it"s a negative or positive feeling so that later we would not linger around thinking of it to much that it might effect our performance. Post mortem can help provide a better view to provide us information about what other people feel. All conflict should be left behind after the post mortem session. If i have done any mistake which i know i've done some, i hope that you guys can forgive me. Good day.

Assalamualaikum Wbt...

Hello guys. I'd been reading to your comments and suddennly I feel that I want to share my thoughts too. I am actually glad to join the ELC last week. I miss my 'children' a lot! A few days back, one of them send me a message - in English. He was actually too ashamed to use the language before the camp. He said that his friends will laugh at him when he tried to use the language. However, after joining the camp, he felt that it is O.K to make mistake rather than not trying to speak in English. He thanks all the facilitators for making him feels that English is fun! I am so glad that he has finally has courage to speak in English. All the credits should be given to Syaril, my 'husband' for 3 days 2 nights there... He's so sensitive with the 'children' and always keep on track with the changes that had occured along the camp. We always discuss with each other on how to make this one talk and this one to shut up... hehehehehe... Thank you Syaril...
To Naterah (NateS) and Ila (Air Tawar Gurl), good luck and I know that you guys will be a good leader to the rest of us...

ASSOYYEHHE.... (This one goes to Kak Cuet...)

hi everybody! i think that iam qquite a little bit late to talk about previous language camp in kaizen. however, i still want to talk about it. it was fun! congratulations to all the facis and lecturers. i just cannot believe myself that i've managed to facilitate university students. i think that every facis have their own unique way and of course very special one in order to facilitate their own group. no need to pinpoint or blame anybody coz everybody have done such a great job. nice and valuable experience i,ve managed to acquire at the camp. enough talking about something that already past.....now i would like to talk about this coming camp. first of all, thank you so much to everybody for selecting as new director for replacing Syahrul in the next camp. really appreciated it. i hope that i manage to carry and fulfill all the tasks with help from you guys. we've done our first meeting today...and i really hope that all of us can work together as a strong team work. all of us should contribute something for both camps. it does not matter which camp you go, the one that matter is that we manage to work and cooperate with each other as a TESL family. we better make our camps the best ever than we ever had before. i pray for that, hope you guys do the same thing too. ok, i need to finish my assignment, MR.G had remind us not to use language game as the reason for not completing your assignments right... so, that's all for now...till we meet again in class and another meetings. adios guys. TESL rock bebeh!! ;p
