ASEAN UNIVERSITY GAMES 2008

I am one of the techincals for the AUG for the karate-do event. I reached UKM, Kolej keris mas for the first time. Frankly, UKM is much smaller than UPM, and Upm is much prettier than UKM. Anyway, i got the single room. It is nice and comfortable.
i have been here since 9th December, my body condition has not been better. i am still sick and it goes without saying that i am tired. But i did not tell the committee that my body is not ok. I went to Pulapor "Pusat latihan polis Kuala Lumpur" and UIA "University Islam Antarabangasa" to carry 400 pieces of tatami for the karate tournament.
It is tiring, life has been tough but i do enjoy myself being one part of the AUG. I need to be in UKM untill 18th of December. Well, wish me luck:-) It will be very busy two days before the tournament and during the tournament. However, the experiences that i gain from this tournament is precious and priceless. I hope!

Luang Phor Samran From Wat Makok



Ladies and gentlemen, i had the chance to see Luang phor samran from bangkok. He is not a normal monk but he is one of the respected monks recognised by the King of Thailand. I went to see him with my family and Cherry on saturday, we had wonderful flower bath and a simple ceremony for getting rid of bad luck and it is believed to bring good metta "human relations". Each of us was given a Nahu amulet.

On sunday morning, Cherry and i went to see Luang phor again. There was a main chanting that day. i was sitting behind luang phor, after a long chant, i saw someting was shaking. It was Ruesi's head, it was shaking, Luang phor touched the Ruesi head immediately to stop it. It lasted about 1 minute. Well, i was relaxed at first as i thought luang phor was shaking it. But, it didnt seem to be what i thought.

The reality was incredible. In fact, the thing was shaking on its own, luang phor tried to stop it. Two Ruesis wanted to go into Luang phor's body, but he stoped them. He afraid that no one would be able to understand the old thai language if ruesi were to go into luang phor's body. lol, never did i think that, i would have the opportunity to witness this incredible, unbelievable and unforgetable scene!

Some of my students went for the flower bath ceremony on sunday. But, they could not manage to bathe cos luang phor was very tired. lol Besides, i forgot to tell them not to wear black shit. God knows, many of them wore black. I brought them to see Maha, they took turn to check their fortune. Maha was quite accurate i beleive!

Today, 27th Nove, i went there again with my karate student Jun Rong. We were chatting for a half day at the upstair of the shophouse. We talked about many things! I cant remember the topics but it was nice anyway! I also "dabao" Kopi o for Maha and Luang Phor.

In short, i was very happy to see Maha and Luang Phor. if i have chance to go to Bangkok, i will really visit them at their temples. Namotassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Samputasa!!

But, i saw the cake hiding at the back of the class...

HaHA... This is a beautiful cake, tasty and wonderful...



It is fate that bonded us together, i am very happy that you guys do catch my thinking, what i want, what i like, what i dislike, what is my aim, what are my aims towards you all, and so on...

Although i am your teacher, i am also your friend who can share happiness and sadness together with you!

Suprised by Form 5 Students


Today, 8th Nov of 2008, it is an unforgetable day as my students from Form 5 bought something special for me...Thailand Bullet Amulet

I was very happy when i received this birthday present. But, what i really concerned is about their money! The Fopai is not cheap at all. They have spent lots of money just to buy that for me. Yup, i was indeed very touched. Actually, if they were to write a card for me, i would be very touched and happy already. This is the most precious gift from students to a teacher!

I have told them about the bullet in my classes before. They know that i love it. Actually, i never dare to ask the boss lady about the price of this bullet. Because i am afraid that i would buy it some other day!

I will upload the fopai picture in this blog another time!

Thank you Ferlin, Snow and Happy Plus for giving me this valuable fopai. Thanks for believing in me, as a teacher who can influence your life.


GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR SPM EXAMINATIONS!!

Touched Teacher,
ALEX

MONEY NO ENOUGH

Money No Enough, how to do charity? No money to pay for the rental. I am a poor man with little money left in my wallet. I am poor, i am really broke......

Who can help me? God? Buddha? No no, they cant't. I can't rely on them as the fortune is in my hands...

I WOULD LIKE TO PRINT THE BUDDHA BOOKS AND GIVE THEM TO THOSE WHO WANT TO READ....

HOW I WISH I HAVE MONEY TO DONATE FOR THE OLD FOLK'S HOME?

MONEY....I HAVE NO ENOUGH MONEY...

I WISH I COULD BE RICH AND HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED....

HOW I WISH I COULD BE MONEY PROBLEMS FREE...

MONEY NO ENOUGH!!!

First Visit To Batu-Pahat Old Folk's Home

First time i stepped into old folk's home. The president for the old fold's home is a nice guy. He almost explained everything to me about the expenses, how do they care for the old folks, what prizes have they won, where have they visited, what to donate and what not recommended to donate...and etc!

In fact, after walking around in the compound of the old folk home. i found that the environment is actually quite comfortable. Besides, i learnt that there are lots of students or other people from all works of life visit the place, they donate money, sing songs to the old people, having dinner or birthday party together with them.

Some old people did not look at me, i can say some of them never bothered to take a look at me. But, some were happy to see me. The first moment i went there, i saw 3 old guys sitting alone at different places. Each of them was looking aimlessly at somewhere as if there are lots of stories behind them. My heart sank deeply down, it hurt me!

I felt sorry for them and i have decided to do my best to help. Yes, i have no money now. But, i can always ask my friends or relatives to donate some. Then, i can bring the money there. Or it might be good to ask those who are willing to come along with me.

CHARITY, CHARITY, CHARITY...

PLS...

LEND A HELPING HAND...

LET'S HELP TO CREATE A HARMONY SOCIETY BY DOING CHARITY....

Final lesson for Form 5 Students

To: Dear Ferlin, Snow and Happy Plus
It all started when i received a call from Ferlin on May. She requested English Conversation Class but it ended up having English Tuition after i gave my opinion. From 7 students dropped to 6, from 6 then reduced to 5. Well, 5 to 4, 4 to 3, 4 to 4 again and finally left 3.

 Those survivors are Ferlin, Snow and Happy Plus.
Funny and interestingly, it all happened in just 6 months. Anyway, i have enjoyed having them in my classes. Despite the fact that there are only 3 of them. Although i have been worried about my personal financial problem, but we continued to learn together.

Teaching them the English Language has not been easy as i need to make sure that they can get better results in SPM English which is called as 1119 paper. Building their foundation was difficult because at first their standard were quite low.

But, i remember, i told them a few times that, some people who cannot endure the intensive training in my class would drop the class. Yup, some did. However, 3 of them managed to come a long way so far.

Most of the time, they did not do the works that i assigned. Sometimes, they would ask me to cancell the class at the last minute. The fact is that, i already at the tuition centre. Why didn't they tell me earlier if they were not coming to the class?? I don't know. I regard them as young adults, they should know what they are doing and know what is right or wrong.

We have spent hours and hours together... Sometimes, we even spent the whole day in the class.
I am proud to say that, although i am not the best teacher, they have improved a lot especially in their writing skills, Literature and some skills in tackling the exam.

We had fun in the class. We made jokes, we laughed together. Some of them would bomb me. Anyway, i bombed them back too. lol:-)

Having a teacher like me who always cant control the mouth, speaking rude words (taboo) such as bullshit, fuck, kanasai and others. Hopefully, they wont learn the bad part of me. But, instead, they have learnt some good part of mine.

I believe i have not only taught them the English skills, but, what more important is that i have shown them the ways to become a better person. Confidence, committment, devotion, motivation, moral values, responsibility and so on.

They will always be on my mind. I sincerely wish them good luck and all the best. Whatever it is, my support for them will never end. They will achieve something big in future. -I HOPE.
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS! DROP BY TO SEE ME NEXT TIME IF FREE!

Best Regards,
From Teacher Alex

Karate Championship of ASEAN UNIVERSITY


Hi, there will be a Karate tournamet hosted by Malaysia, participants will come from Asean Countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Brunei and so on..

This morning, the organizer called me to help out in this tournament. Yup, i agreed. I will be one of the secretariats. Wow, this is a good chance for me to get in touch with so many university studetns from various countries. i will appreciate this opportunity and carry out my duty nicely...

But, i need to sacrific my time. I was told that i need to go on Nov 28- Dec 02 for the five day course. Then, i need to move again from Dec 9 to Dec 22.... Again, i will need to sacrifice my precious time.

I am troubled today...

Becoming a school teacher next year or continue to further my masters degree next year??
i have been pondering bout it since this early morning... yet, there is no final conclusion!@
- It depends on my family's financial, economic has been bad and it greatly influenced my family's finance. If i further my masters degree, i would be very selfish because i still cannot contribute anything to my family when they are facing financial problems...

But, on the other hand, i will definitely further my masters degree if my family's economic is ok and smooth...




I am back

Hi, i am back. well, i think i have asked all students to register to the blogs and write e-journal. This move has not been successful, many of them refuse to register and even some of them ignore it. Well, luckily i have two very good students do it. Abby low and cindy are the ones who have been posting the blogs 3 times a week. I hope they can carry on posting the blogs and read the comments i give. To all students, i sincerely hope that you guys can also register it and post the journals, also read my blogs. your comments are very much appreciated!!

POEM: The warmest, safest and comfortable Hut in the soul

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
and i,
I took the one less travelled by.
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness,
As long as men can breath,
Hope will never vanish.

The man who achieves makes many mistakes,
But he never makes the biggest mistake of all - doing nothing,
Lousy decisions are made based on emotions,
Wise decisions are made based on the deep heart thouhts.

Reality that we encounter,
Preparing us to be as strong as a minister,
Leading life like a leader,Well,
heading towards problems free contributor.

Always go back to the beginning if you find your way wrong,
The original point will refresh your mind,
And regain back your energy to fight,
Fight or Fright? Never say die!!

ENGLISH DEBATE - FORM 4

I thought it would be fun and effective to get my students to use the target language. But, obviously, what they did was, the resorted to speaking their mother tongue most of the time which is CHINESE. lol Well, for me, that lesson failed. However, i was happy at the end of the lesson when it came to free debate, as they could actually try to speak the language. Good for them! i would introduce more speaking lessons so as to improve their English speaking ability.
Title- Government: Having relationship during school days is better than being single
Opponet : Being single is better than having relationship during school days
Government: KAI SIN, KAI TING, FUEY YING AND HOUNG XIA
Opponent : PIK SIAH, JASMINE TEO, HUI XIN, QIN MEI AND SZE YU

DISSAPPOINTED

Dissappointed with two English Conversation studetns. Never listened to my instructions, took their own sweet time and did what they wanted to do! Put a note in one of my shoes. Whatever it is, I have done my responsibility as an educator to guide them. It is up to them whether to listen or not. God bless me and May God Bless Them!!

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEE THE CHANGES...

Ferry and Big Gambling Ship....

Cherry and i woke up early in the morning, around 530am something, we gathered at the YP KFC together with other friends. It started out with a wonderful journey as we were talking and laughing on the bus. we arrived at the Port of Pasir Gudang at 8am. We were going to board on the ferry but we waiting for it untill 10am. Yes, 2 hours wasted just like that. Knasasai!!! But, anyway, it was ok cos we were chatting and bluffing using the two hours. The ferry was slow, at least for me was slow. I thought the ferry would make us excited but i was again dissappointed:-) Now, we boarded on the big gambling ship which was located at the border of singapore and Indonesia. Well, we went up straight to restaurant to take our lunch. Oh my god! it was crowded with lots of hungry ghosts, haha, and we were no exception. lol The food served were not as nice as i thought. Anyway, we mangaged to fill our tummies. After taking the lunch, we went to take photos on the 6th and 7th floor. The scenery was beautiful when we looked at the sky, sea, mountains or ships from the decker. I was so excited! however, there is one fellow called "Heng Hui", lol, i think he was more excited than i were. His actions and pattern were funny and i think he took the most photos there. And i took some photos with Cherry too... Then, we went to the show. 3 singers were still ok, the female singer is not pretty i think. she should be more sexy anyway! I think cherry is far more pretty than her! After the show, we went to Casino and had our instand cup noodles. lol After that, time came for us to take our dinner. All of us went to the restaurant, we booked a table, some of us were standy around the food. Well, when i wanted to take the food, suddenly a Botak Waiter asked me to queue up. Shit, fuck him. i told him that i was there just now. He looked a me fiercely and i stared at him too. I was very angry like the nerves from my body almost jumped out, but, i tried to cool down. i put down the plate on one of the tables unwillingly and reluctatnly and i walked to my table with a sour face. So kanasai!!! i want to complain!!! Complain!!! COMPLAIN THE FUCKING SHIP... FUCK HIM!!! Haha... my friends consoled me... anyway, i did eat a lot... there were times when the botak man wanted to walk towards our table, i stared at him. he knew that i was angry and he did not pass through our table.. HEHE... i am a bad guy... Tell you what, i am kind of a person who will fight my right!!! Then, we went back by boarding the ferry again. it was terrible because the ship kept on shaking and it made everyone feel uncomfortable. In short, it was a journey which i wont forget. I WILL NOT GO TO THIS FUCKING SHIP AGAIN...NEVER AND NEVER AGAIN... BUT I AM HAPPY BECAUSE I COULD ENJOY THE DAY WITH MY FRIENDS AND CHERRY... IT WAS WORTHWHILE ANYWAY:-)

Trip to Melaka

I went to Melaka on last wednesday, the first day of Ramadan. I was going with my family and cherry, we were having wanton mee in Muar, we ate Otah otah and Dumpling... very delicious and enjoyable.

My mum also bought some cakes and bread, we were having the food along the way from muar to melaka although we were quite full after having the proper lunch.

 Haha, i bought 7kg of Duku too... Now, we were so lucky to have enjoyed so much food at one time.. When we reached Melaka, we were trying so hard to find the locaton of my school which is SMK CATHOLIC.

We stopped at somwhere around the city, my dad went to buy toto, 1+3 and magnum, my mum and my younger bro were busy appreciating the scenery, while cherry and i were busy finding out the location of the school via her Nokia GPS. Well, luckily, one stranger asked us to follow his car to the school.

He is indeed a nice man. I was excited on the way to the school, although the juourney from the town to the destination took about 5 mintues, but the nervousness and excitement in my tissues made me feel like a year. Wow... Anyway, Happy mood turned to dissappointment in just a second.

Well, i have been hoping to enter a school which looks grand and nice, but to my surprise, that schook didnt surprise me and it did not meet my expectation. Haha... Yes, undoubtedly, i was quite dissappointed.

But, anyway, i will go all out to carry out my duty as a teacher there for 3 months. Ganbate kUndasai!!!

My Micro Teaching Today...

This morning i dressed up exactly like a professional teacher, and took my laptop, bag and photocopied worksheets, went to the lecture hall confidently.

My turn was No.3, When i was waiting for my turn, the heart beat of mine was getting faster. However, i told myself that i will be ok. Good, the time has finally come for me to show my ability and confidence.

Well, as usual, i went all out to present and i thought i was alright. By the end of the lesson, when i saw the lecturer's sour face, i was a bit shocked and stunt for a while. This has disrupted the flow of my presentation and i started to startle a bit.

Anyway, i managed to perform steadily. Lecturer gave some comments and i found that i need to work harder on my pronunciation. YES, i am far from perfect. But, i believe, If i cant do something well, i wanna do it. If i wanna do it, then i can undoubtedly do it well.

This is a philosphy in life. Besides, this evening i just discovered that the school that i will be going to teach in Malacca is actually the NO.3 School in Malaysia. OH MY GOD.... Those people are so great!!!!!!!!!

Despite the circumstances, i will also go all out to show them that my proficiency is a few steps better than them.. Lol Everyone, pls pray for me...Amitofo:-)

I WAS SAD for a moment today...

i was sad for a moment this morning when i saw that the 16-yr-old girl was kidnapped, strangled and burnt to death. This incident took place in Kulai, JOHOR.

This girl was kidnapped when she walked out from one of the shopping complexs in Kulai after working. Then she was kidnapped by some boys age between 16-22 yr old. Wow... What a crazy society!

Our society is sick! there are so many fucking animals out there who never do good things but bullshit and bloody stuff... There are worms and no better than pigs... Those goddamn people are worse than anything in this world, even ghosts are better than them.

Why did they kidnap the girl? Why did they want to kill the girl? Why didn't they spare the girl's life? As what i know from the newspaper is that, one of the culprits is the girl's friend. Oh my god! A mi To Fo... Amen.. Ya Allah...
\
Anything can happen in this world and it can be happened to anyone. This girl is only 16-yr-old. i have some tuition students and there are around this age! I pray that nothing bad will happen to them.

Besides, i wish that the kidnappers would put into jail and be punished. I also pray that the poor girl would rest in peace in her new world. Namotasa Bagawato Arahato Samma Samputasa!

Half Day K.L Trip:-)

Yesterday, right after Dr. Jaya class. I went to take KTM from serdang station and my destination was of course Pudu Plaza which i have never been there before. And i dont have any idea where it is situated.

Along the way from Ktm To Lrt was funny to me because i dont really sure the train that i took would bring me to the correct destination or not...lol I am always quite stupid in terms of directions. Haha, when i was on LRT, i kept asking myself "hey, am i taking the right train?".. of course, i was scared lah..

i was quite tired that time and i could not close my eyes as i needed to force my duku eyes stayed widely open in order for me to look through the window and saw the names of the places where the train stopped.

Luckily, i managed to get to the correct destination. I was happy:-) But, now the problem came. Where the hell is pudu plaza? i dont fucking know... I only knew it was somewhere around Times square. After that, i went to a taxi driver and told him bout my destination, at first he said RM20 to get there.

In my heart, i said "Fuck you, so expensive". however, i smiled at him and said "it is too expensive". when i was just few steps walking away the driver suddenly said "RM15 lah". Well, on my mind i said "Fuck you". Again, i smiled at him and said i would walk there, thank you.

So, i decided to walk and explore K.L on my own. You know what, the weather is damn hot like a burning hell. I walked for two minutes and what happended was i started to sweat heavily. No choice, i turned to a taxi driver and forutunately he said RM12. I said OK immediately.

 Oh my, it is really quite far to walk to pudu plaza from the bus station. When i straight away went to my destination "Zhen Fo Hang", a shop where sells Thailand Amulet "Fo Pai". i was shocked at first as there were around 8 Fo Pai shops there.

Well, after some negotiation with the lady boss, i bought two stuff " One Fo pai and one CD". The Fo pai is for Da jie's car. i was happy cos i could see so many Fo pais there but the prices were more expensive if compared with Batu-Pahat.

I love collecting Fo Pai and i really believe that the gods would protect me from harm and at the same time provide me with power in whatever i do. I also hope that each and every of my student would put onFo pai so that they will free from harm by.....black or dark things!!

After buying the Fo Pai, i walked to Times Square and i went to Borders to read my favourite books. Then, i walked back to the Kota Raya and it took me over 15 minutes luckily the weather that time was alright as it was already 630pm. Well, it was a tiring but great Day!!

God God God.....

Help... My comp cant access the net... i feel like i am a monk right now!!

 Lol... Anyway, this has not stopped me from posting my blog. My Form4 students are cute, funny and UNPREDICTABLE... Those pretty girls are just like weather.... always changing and there are uncertainties....

They would sometimes pay attention to me but sometimes dont even though i asked them to shut up!! Useless means useless!! What to do? I am not sure... Anyway, there are just cute. I just pray that they would learn knowledge from my class and gain life experiences and motivation...

 I heard that Angel and Kai Qiu (Children English Conversation) probably cant pass or would hopefully just pass in their English paper in upsr! Anyway, i dont think they deserve the mere passing grade as i know that their standard is far from PASS!!

 However, i wish that the lucky gifts that i gave them would really bring luck for them:-) The country situation these days are worrying!! The person who deserved to be put into jail didn get any severe punishment whereas the Journalist who carried out her duty had been caught.

Malaysia nowadays is going downwards... i cant see any democratic in our country!! Only Autocratic being manipulated by our so called politicians... Well, this is our society! hey, come on... STOP THE RACIAL ISSUES..!!!! WAKE UP POLITICIANS....WE WANT PEACE AND HARMONY...

As a teacher, i hope that malaysians (Malays, Chinese, Indians, Iban, Kadazan, Melanau or others) would really unite as one, in order to build and prosper our beloved Country "Malaysia".

10/ 9/ 08 - Wednesday....Mixed feelings

i have mixed feelings today, i hardly woke up this morning cos i didnt have good sleep like what i have always been experiencing this kind of bullshit problem. i went to pentadbiran, i got to pay RM30 just for 3 pieces of paper.

 Upm stands for UNIVERSITY PUNGUT MONEY!! What the fuck... RM30 for me is a big sum of money expecially i am broke recently... well, i got no choice but to surrender to the bloody system of upm.

Besides, i chose the school (SMK TUN PERAK) in jasin, the sch where i will be teaching next year after ferbruary. well, it is a sekolah agama. lol

Anyway, i got no choice but to choose it, dont ask me why!! It is a long story and hard to explain in words. by the way, i am quite happy also lah, cos i got the sch edi. How time flies, my days in upm left few months, going to end soon!! LIFE GOES ON, well... Ganbate Kundasai!!

Saturday, 6/9/08

saturday is normally the busiest day for me as i have to teach one karate class and 3 tuition classes. i am working from 10am till 730pm, non stop!

Well, anyway, although it is tiring,i enjoy my job as an educator. This morning, one of my karate studetns asksed me "Ei sensei, why not the other sensei would have gone for the speech? Why would you be the one to give the speech?" During June this month, i was in charge of a karate tournament alongside with ministry of youth and sports. I was the person in charge of it, then my sensei asked me to give a talk during the closing ceremony of the tournament.

 i was stunned by what my student said just now. Well, perhaps, she thinks that i cant fit to give the talk where there is other better people who can do it. Maybe, she thinks that i am not eligible enough to do so. After a few minutes, then i told the whole class that not everyone will have the chance to do public speaking in front of so many people. only those who are capable can be called.

Whatever it is, i do not bear this on mind. Today, i gave two gifts to Angel and Kai Qiu who are going to sit for upsr next week. i am not sure whether they like it or not, but, anyway, i hope that they will get good results in their examinations.

 Em, pau ek and cindy asked about their kfc just now as i promised to treat them to kfc if they scored more than 80% in their english. Well, i am very happy that they got more than 80%. i have been thinking of treating them to enjoy the meal but i have been short of money recently.

Well, i lost two form 5 students this month and two form 1 students this month too. that means my salary will reduce RM160...this is big money for me as i need to take care of my daily expenses, bus fares, taxi fares, eat, drink, photocopy, petrol...so on and so forth.

Wow.... I dont know how to say lah.... I am indeed quite poor recently!! But i will never say die to my fate...i will work harder. maybe i am not a good teacher that is why i lost 4 students this month.

Anyway, i will try to be a good teacher as i am always trying to be! However, if i have some money left next week, i will buy Ferrero Rocher for these two cute and clever students!!

 Besides, Ferlin and happy plus did quite good for their vocabulary tests. Ferlin got 84.5 and Happy plus got 80%. They really studied hard for it. Congrats them! Next week is form5 students' pre spm exam. I do hope that they can get resutls:-)

5th Sept 08

It is a busy but meaningful day for me today. i have two classes in UPM from 8am till 11am. it was so hard for me to wake up this morning. And y0u know what, i was late to class. lol

 The moment i opened the door, our lecturer cik pah said" Well, you made it" haha...luckily she didnt scold me. this morning during the class, after my group has presented our lesson plan, some coursemates gave comments.

Well, they did not agree with my points and i didnt really agree with theirs too. Anyway, i was a bit angry and i raised my voice when i defended my stand. However, forget about it. By the time i reached yong peng, it was already 315pm. I went back, changed my shirt then went to tuition centre.

Today we did about writing" the hero in my life". lol my students only finished the esssy at 820pm although they started to writee at 5pm. haha...!! Anyway, they have done it, i hope they really could learn something from my class.

Well, you know, i am quite happy today as my form4 studetns came to class earlier. Although we still started the class at 7pm something, i could see the imporvement. i do hope that they will remember to come to class in time.

In short, i am tired but it is good to see my students to grow. So, it is worth my sacrifice:-)lol

Thursday, 4th Sept 08, 2nd Journal...

Hi, it is a good day for me because the weather is very nice...i can say today is a rainy day. Today was the first micro teaching session for cik pah class. Next week will be my turn and i believe i can do a good job.

Some of my coursemates went out to teach this morning. Well, some of them are good but some are normal. As a teacher, the voice projection is very important, intonation and also the body language are important too. By the way, i hope some of my coursemates will really work on that.

 Sadly, i have two classes tomorrow morning, 8-10 and 10-11..Sigh, then i can only go back to Yong peng to give tuition. I wanted to give two classes for my form 5 students tomorrow. But very sad to say that i cant make it becasue by the time i reach Yong peng, it is already 4pm something.. So, no choice, hopefully, i can see them from 5pm-7pm.

On the other hand, today i watched a movie in class. it was about the love between a couple and the love between teacher and students. Wow...i was so touched... you know what, most of my coursemates are girls, ladies or women..you know lah, when they were watching movie, whenever there was touching scene, they would shout, scream or whatsoever... oh my, my god..

i would really get heart ATTACK. lol Anyway, i can go back tomorrow edi..can see my karate and tuition students...happy now... IN short, Fight or fright! I choose to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

Wednesday, 3rd Sept 08, My First Journal

i always stress that teacher must set good example for students. Well, i am going to do that to prove to my students that i not only talk, but i walk my talk. First of all, i asked my form 5 studetns to start writing journals everyday untill they finish their SPM english papers.

Am i too ambitious? Am i asking too much? Well, although i know that they are not used to writing journals especially writing in English Language, but i totally believe in their abilities. I really believe in them as i believe that they will do their best or go all out to achieve what they want to score in this exam.

If i dont ask my students to start writing journals, i am afraid that they will not be able to better their writing and thinking skills. I would like them to equip themselves before they start the war in this November and December. I hope they will succeed!

Besides, i would like to talk about what happened to me today. Life will be bullshit if i fall sick, yes, i am sick, i got flu and sore throat. Damn it!! God damn it!! But, anyway, it is getting better as i drank a bottle of 100 plus 1.5 litre. lol

 On the other hand, i still cannot make up my mind about the topic for my research paper. haha... I will try my best to figure it out as soon as possible. Check it out then! I chatted with snow and good tree today too, wow...first time i typed chinese using msn...It was kansai as i was not familiar with the chinese words...

But, i hope my words would touch snow and good tree, and influenced them to better persons. I really hope that all of my students will be great people next time. All in all, I love myself and i love all of them so much! Long live, Everyone!!
