jakun tak?

hey there!

just finished the classes for the day. suddenly i felt the tiredness of having to teach for 21 hours per week. so damn demanding. thank god i have a good senior for esls class. they just need my humble guide to be better coz i believe they are in the right track. the other subject is malay studies, also a senior class. they are okay but need to work a lil harder though. the subject is not like other subjects in terms of u need to know and revise certain facts. it's more into critical thinking application in almost all the assessments. i would say it is quite subjective. and another subject is junior esls class. as sace board had change the wightage for the assessments affectively 2011, we kinda have a slight changes and differences in the syllabuses. that's the reason i need and had to re-study certain parts. and not to mention to actually prepare some new materials like powerpoint slides as well as practices. so far so good i guess...but the feeling of exhaustion is obviously felt. huhuhuhu....

tapi tadi class malay macam best jek..hahha...i was like ter-jakun coz in the lab that we are using for presentation had a touch screen computer and also internet connection. i was jakun coz having knew my place, it is not that IT-ish. who knows me would understand. and one thing for sure, the students never knew that the room has the internet connection. this is because, they usually use this room for special purpose and it is not a common classroom. only by booking or request, then u may be permitted to use. so, when they have to watch a movie for study purpose, or perhaps class presentations, they can use the room (rather than having LCD and a laptop to do so). and seriously i cannot believe it's a touch screen pc. had fun touching it though. ^_^
another thing was, when the students were doing their discussion, i took the advantage to use the internet. and what i did was to google their blogs. almost of them had one. and they are trying to find mine. hahaha..good luck guys. hopefully u guys jumpa. dont forget to leave a comment for this entry k!? ^_*
k, for kesekian kalinya, i nak balik keje awal... ddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... xoxoxox

ana fening sudeh~~

first of all, hahaha...
today is the first day of the junior semester. however, the senior had started their semester 2 weeks ago. as usual...the first class that i entered would definitely be an ice-breaking session. but, today i did not do that. i just felt that they are so near to me. in that particular class, i have 4 malay male students and the rest are all girls - malay and chinese. so basically i just introduce myself, giving all necessary details of me and i straight away introduce and expose them to the subject as well as the subject's requirement. they were enthusiastic (of course they are) since this is the first day of their becoming 1 and a half year of studies in this institution.

one thing that i always ask for is for them to write on something about themselves, their expectations towards the subject, class and etc. it is just not for the sake that they can introduce themselves informally but i found out that through that task, many things can be observed. one of the example is definitely their writing skills and not to forget their competencies in all those grammar, sentence structure etc.
i just finished reading all their write-ups and i'm kinda pening already. they know what to write but lots of improvements needed. huhuhu...mizleo, their future is again in ur hands.
chayyok-chayyok!!

untuk firdaus

entri ini khas ditujukan buat en mohd firdaus nasir - my besty.

last week i saw someone like you among the new students during the orientation week. he is an australian mat student. i wanna tell you before but i forgot.
however, today as i entered my very 1st junior class, i was literally shocked to see him in that class. hahaha....he really really looks like you especially when you were in matrix. cuma takde songkok and specs jek.

so, firdaus....i am gonna 'see' you everyday from now on. ^_^
