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.

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!

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.

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!!!
