The results of UPS 1 (mid semester exam) for matriculation students was announced yesterday.

Alhamdulillah, 6 out of 10 students from my mentor mentee class achieved 4.00 GPA, while the rest got 3.5 and above.

As a result, the class is awarded with the honour of "Kelas Berprestasi Tinggi" by the college.

Congratulations, dear students!

Thank you for all the lecturers who have worked very hard to teach all the students.

Jazakallahu Khairan Kathira.

Don't be too happy, work hard and work smart, score better. The journey is still winding and long.

p/s: Even the girl whom i mentioned that afraid to speak in English managed to get 4.00! I need to add on my approach to help improve her English or else it will be a waste for her.

O ALLAH, my lord, give me strength

2010-08-21T06:26:00.000-07:00

it's already night of 12th ramadhan 1431H.

it's saturday evening.

alhamdulillah, i've completed 11 days of fasting,

performed solat sunat tarawih every night without fail..

although i was very tired from work and study..

and this ramadhan is quite different

it is more meaningful,

i just learned that we pray to ALLAH not because He does not know what we want,

in fact He has given us more than we prayed for

but we pray to Him,

because we are His servants,

i have a little time but so many things to complete:

assignments, workloads, wedding preparation, housechores..

and

ALLAH,

i pray to you

to give me more strength of Iman and faith,

for me to complete all these things under Your Rahmah and blessings, amin

"we love you, miss jaja"

the sentence was written on the blackboard in class 6C, Sek keb Pedu, a remote school.

It is located about 1 hour drive from Alor Star.

We: Me, k.nurul and k.tia are assigned to teach English to standard 6 students there as a social service activity by our college. We have started the programme since June. We go there every Wednesday.

The students come from various family background.

They are Malay and Siamese students, a new environment for us the college lecturers.

Their English language competency is also varies.

Some are advanced, some are just at the intermediate level.

they are afraid to speak in English, but they do not even speak standard Bahasa Melayu, they speak very thick Kedah dialect..

During the first class there, I told my colleagues that I was not fit to teach primary students, they were just so naughty and noisy.. they could not sit still after 5 minutes.. they would walk around and make noise..

Week by week, i've started to understand them better..

I introduce rules such as they need to be quiet when i'm teaching, speak when i ask them to do so, finish up the work, speak English, and if it is very difficult, use standard BM, not Kedah dialect.

One thing that i like about these students is that they respect the teacher.

Although they are quite naughty, when you instruct them to do something, they will do it.

They are also very excited to to the exercise. they will finish up the work as fast as they can, and they will compete who is going to finish up first and show it to me.

I start to feel at ease with them..

Today, is our first meeting after quite long holidays; school break, matrix break, awal Ramadhan public holiday.

and this is what i saw when i walked in the class this afternoon:

"We love you, miss jaja"

i love you too, students.. perhaps my short duration class and my lack of experience and knowledge in teaching UPSR students, will just help you a little, but i hope it will be very meaningful ..

one more meeting, and the class will end.. school will go on holiday, matrix will have Raya break, and after that UPSR is waiting..

tico, sayo tok pehe kecek inglish

teacher, i do not understand English

this is my 3rd batch of matriculation students.

i have taught

previously, i had very great students. coming from good background of English..

and even some of them were not very good, they still managed to speak in English although broken ones, or wrote an essay with a number of grammatical errors but with great ideas, at least they could write in English,,

for the first time, i have student who come into my class with "E" in English subject SPM.

she is second intake student.

and i asked her to introduce herself in class.

she just stared at me.

i asked "what is your name"

she said, "tico, sayo tok pehe kecek inglish"

then i asked "your name? nama?"

only after that, she replied with very slow voice

in another class, we had a discussion on quality of today's teachers.

i later asked the class to write about it.

i gave them subtopics to talk about.

only 3 subtopics.

i asked them whether they understand my instruction and know how to do it.

all of them said fine

when time was up.

i collected all the essays.

but she looked at me and said that she did not know how to do it.

she looked like as if she wanted to cry

then i asked her to write only points.

she came out with 3 points.

i asked her to write about herself,

she can write.

i believe it's her own work.

i want to have faith in her.

she failed her listening quiz, leaving blanks for the answer spaces..

she failed her reading quiz, she answered based on her instincts.

now, i have just finished marking her standardised test, for essay question, she wrote one paragraph which was the question.

what am i going to do with her?

miss the Subuh prayer

no one knows

but Allah knows

it's Ramadhan

fasting month

you do not eat, do not drink

but you talk bad about others

not everyone knows

2010-06-15T03:20:00.000-07:00

one of the favourite authors suggested by my colleagues (who are also ex-coursemates in UiTM) is Mitch Albom. I've heard his name before, or perhaps glanced through it in the newspapers. But i haven't had the chance to read any of his works. I know that one of his best-seller novels, The Five People You Met in Heaven has gone on the movie.

i'm a person who love to read rather than watch movie, so i am looking forward to read any of his novels after all nice and wonderful comments on his works and words. And i'm so fortunate to have K.Tia and Manja who lent me his novels.

I first read For One More Day, borrowed from K.Tia. It was about a guy who did everything to please and get attention as well as affection from his father who in turn did not give him any. while trying hard to please the dad, he hurt his mother. a lot. his life turned upside down along the way.

he only realised that it was his mother that he should care about when his mother passed away a day after her birthday dinner party which he refused to wait till the end to go and meet his father who had abandoned the family since he was kid. he was not by his mother's side when she died. later he started to think, if only he had one more day to be with his mother..

It was so touching especially when i read the parts "Times that My Mother Stood for Me" and "Times that I Did Not Stand for My Mother". I know that i did that to my mother too, sometimes. I was so ego, full with pride.. Reading this is like a wake-up call for me. I've listened to many true stories on this. sometimes, however, i forgot.

It is mother who we should obey and respect the most after Allah and His messengers.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is reported to have mentioned that.

A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim) taken from SoundVision

Moreover, our beloved Prophet Muhammad said, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him: Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (Ahmad, Nasai) taken from SoundVision

We may be succeed in life but we are not happy, if it is without her blessings. I know that as i have experienced that. Now, whenever i feel so angry if i think that i'm right whenever i have argument with my mother, i'll try to remember that. i'll be more polite and pay more respect to her.

Understand this nasheed by heart:

My mother by Yusoff Islam

Who should I give my love to?
My respect and my honour to?
Who should I pay good mind to
After Allahand Rasul-Allah ?

Comes your mother
Who next? Your mother
Who next? Your mother
And then your father

Cause who used to hold you
And clean you and clothe you?
Who used to feed you
And always be with you?

When you were sick
Stay up all night
Holding you tight?
That right no other
My mother

Who should I take good care of
Giving all my love?
Who should I think the most of
After Allah and Rasul-Allah ?

Comes your mother
Who next? Your mother
Who next? Your mother
And then your father

Cause who used to hear you
Before you could talk?
Who used to hold you
Before you could walk?

And when you fell
Who’d pick you up?
Clear your cut?
No one but
Your mother
My mother

Who should I stay right close to?
Listen most to?
Never say no to
After Allah and Rasul-Allah ?

Comes your mother
Who next? Your mother
Who next? Your mother
And then your father

Cause who used to hug you
And buy you new clothes?
Comb your hair and blow your nose?
And when you cries who wiped your tears?
Knows your fears?
Who really cares?
My mother

Say Alhamdulillah
Thank you Allah
Thank you Allah
For my mother

are teachers good enough to teach?

2010-06-14T03:16:00.000-07:00

i posted this question to my students today.

it is based on a letter - to - editor found in TheStar.

i asked students to voice out their opinion on a paper.

they are provided with three items to be discussed on:

public opinions on today's teachers
their own experience with teachers during primary and secondary schools, it can be good or bad
characteristics of their dream teacher

i asked them not to write their names, as i don't want to be judgemental

tonight i'm going to read all the responses

lukewarm

2010-06-02T05:02:00.000-07:00

it has been ages since i last wrote here.. over exaggerate. ;)

lukewarm..

today, one of my students (new batch of 2010/2011) asked me the meaning of lukewarm..

the word is found in the reading passage on the lure of credit card ..

i gave my dictionary ( i always bring one to class) to another student and asked her to find the meaning and later to explain it to the class...

while waiting for the definition-searching, i asked the class to try guessing the meaning of the word..

at least they should know the meaning of "warm"

i gave them clue by asking them meaning of "hot",

so they managed to guess the meaning

they said "suam"

the definition searcher later proudly announced to the class the meaning of it, "suam-suam kuku"

when i asked her to explain in English (as the dictionary has definition in English and Malay), she said slightly hot..

so, what am i trying to say here is not related to the lesson but about the word lukewarm itself..

perhaps it is just me..

who sometimes so excited about thing, and after that getting passion-less..

it is hard to forget..

2010-02-21T04:28:00.000-08:00

it happened about 3 months ago..

but i still remember it..

i try to forget, but it keeps coming back..

what should i do?

integrity

2010-01-22T08:05:00.000-08:00

i learnt new things today:
1. the secret of education is respecting the students
2. do good deeds to others using your head, heart, hand and tongue

head: give out the best thought to assist others
heart: love others as you love yourself
hand: do what you can to help
tongue: your good and meaningful speech will perhaps change someone's life

it is over

2009-11-28T02:12:00.000-08:00

dear friends,

it is officially over
let's fate fares him better

it's my fault
to expect the unexpected
fairytale is not for everyone
especially me

2009 is coming to its end

2010
may u bring shine and hope

i feel alive again ;)

2009-11-08T03:55:00.000-08:00

yes, masters class for semester 1 is over!
feel like i can breathe freely again.. hahahaha

yesterday was the final class..
i sat for two quizzes that i missed as emak was unwell
okay, i read n did mind map, yet it was quite difficult to give out great answers.. to be exact explanation, perhaps i need to read more..
it is done...
i hope that i manage to get good results, ameen.

well, lesson is learnt
next semester, i'll do better than this,
hopefully, great lecturers,
no more missing class

for the time being, let's enjoy !

be strong

2009-10-28T08:04:00.000-07:00

it's time

2009-10-15T16:03:00.000-07:00

it's already in the mid of october.
about 2 months lefty before 2010

college is busy with final exam and MUET
while my masters schedule is packed with presentations, assignments and quizzes

family matters:
Alhamdulillah, haziq is back at home
getting better.
thanx for all your prayers.

i'm worried about irsyad now.
he is so naive
he is already 13 years old
he doesn't have interest in study
instead
he enjoys watching astro a lot
he likes to help opah do the house chores
i feel sorry for him

i know hardworking is great
but i think he should be hardworking in both studying and helping others
he is the first grandson
he needs to be the great role model
to his siblings
to his cousins

i don't know what to do with him
perhaps
when i go home
i can look at him
talk to him
about the future
but i won't always be there
to look after him

i believe in him
i hope he can do better in his study
he hates maths like the rest of his aunties
because he is weak in it
but
maths is important

i hope it is never too late
that the damage still can be fixed

e.m.a.k.

2009-09-09T01:30:00.000-07:00

Jah went back home on 7th of ramadhan (28.8.09).
My mother was down under fever, low blood pressure and gastric since 1st ramadhan.
She couldn't eat at all. She just lied down on bed. Dr Mat from klinik Rahim advised her to go to hospital to get drip, but she refused.
Abah asked us to have coax her to go and get drip from at a clinic.
Only after all of us were at home, she agreed to get the drip, not at the hospital, but at a private clinic.

Looking at her at that time, i just realised that she was very old and i was afraid that she won't be there when it is the time for me to get my masters degree and get married.

I cooked for her.
Just a simple ikan singgang n ikan goreng, she almost finished the whole plate of it.
Abah said that she was actually missing all her children as well as her youngest grandson, haziq.

change of attitude

2009-09-08T05:03:00.000-07:00

in order to achieve success in anything and everything you do
you need to change your attitude
be positive
be optimistic
be strong

when the others say you can't do it
take it as a challenge
show them you can do it
and when you do it
make the best out of it

you are the one who is responsible
to your own success

jaja,
be strong
be tough
put aside other irrelevant things

remember the main purpose of what you are doing now
remember ALLAH in anything ang and everything you do

tonight is 19th night of Ramadhan
make your prayer

all the best, jaja!

this makes me miss home a lot

We heard the bell on the night of Ramadan

2009/08/23

I HAVE fond memories of the Ramadan month as a boy when I was living in Terengganu.

My father, a postal clerk, was a strict man when it came to fasting and we started fasting during primary school or even before that.

By the age of five or six, almost all the children in the family would have observed the fast. We would start by fasting for half a day, then the whole day.

We had a big extended family in the house, and I can still recall the atmosphere in the house during the fasting month.

Mother and grandmother would have spent the day making kuih and bubur lambuk.

Some of the cakes that we had for berbuka included akok, a sweet Terengganu cake made of eggs baked in a mould, and beleda, a jelly dried in the sun until crusted sugar appears on the surface

We had horribly-sweet things like nek bat, the cake which was soaked in sugar.

It took my mother the whole day to make this cake, patiently mixing the batter and pour them into moulds.

The baking was unique. She would place coconut husks above and below the moulds and burn them and the nek bat would turn out nicely.

Mother still found time to cook bubur lambuk.

It was quite easy to get the ingredients for all these delicacies. Pasar Tanjung, the morning market, was right in front of our house.

The market was a wonderful place. Besides the fish, meat and vegetables, you could also buy baskets and trays and other things at the market.

The women would have their selendang over their heads. They wore selendang in those days (not the hijab).

I would stare out of the window of my house at the market, soaking in the atmosphere, the vendors, the people and the haggling and all the other "market noises" and happenings.

In the late afternoon, we, the children, would be sent to the market to buy ice. It was the days when there were no fridges.

An "ice-man" would come with a huge block of ice from a factory in Balik Bukit. He would saw it into smaller chunks for a group of kids who would cut it down further to be sold at 10 sen or 15 sen per block.

We would buy these blocks from these kids.

The ice was to chill the rose syrup we had for berbuka puasa. The syrup was made by our parents at home.

The highlight of Ramadan was of course, the breaking of fast each day.

Our buka puasa routine was quite simple really. Everyone would gather around the dining table.

Then the genta (bell) would be clanged, and some of the kids would fire their meriam buloh.

We would wait for geduk (drum) or beduk to sound. It would be getting dark, and we would hear the sound of azan.

In Kuala Terengganu, there is a surau every few hundred yards.

It was a wonderful time to hear the call of azan prayers from the minaret of the nearby mosque.

Father would recite a short doa and then we would start to tuck in.

We always overate and got bloated. Ice made you feel that way.

And we always promised ourselves that we would not do it again the next day.

Father would quickly finish his meal, then wear his sarong and baju melayu and cycle to the mosque.

On nights when we followed him, everyone would walk to the mosque. We would stand in the back row with the other kids.

After prayers, father would buy the day's newspaper. Newspapers in those days arrived in Kuala Terengganu after maghrib.

We always had two newspapers in our home -- Utusan Melayu in Jawi and the Straits Times.

I learned to read Jawi before I learnt to read roman letters.

Father would buy the papers at Kedai Abdullah Al-Yunani. The shopkeepers were a Chinese family from Yunan. The family is still there.

The shop that actually sells the newspapers is also still there but is under threat now because the government wants to re-develop the area.

Perhaps the most memorable Ramadan night of all was the night we went to Bukit Puteri.

We walked up to Bukit Puteri after solat maghrib at the Masjid Abidin. I was then in my lower secondary year.

Bukit Puteri is right in the centre of town, a short walk from Pasar Kedai Payang. It was pitch dark as we walked up the road in Padang Malaya into the compound of the Istana.

Ismail, who must have been all of 18-years-old, was our guide, and he was the person who clanged the genta in that fasting month.

Employed by the state government, Ismail carried the clanger in his pocket when he went to the mosque.

Bukit Puteri held many strange dreams, full of demons, for us. Many pitched battles were fought up there for the Terengganu throne.

There was an old balai at the foot of a puny lighthouse, and the tale was that in the cellar were crockery and silverware belonging to a Tuan Puteri and her courtesans.

That was how the hill got its name. There was talk that these were bunian people who had crossed over from another dimension into this world.

There were old graves under the dark canopies of tall trees, and as we walked up, there was sudden rustling in the bushes, and the occasional hoot of the owl. Our imaginations ran wild.

Ismail wanted to show us his place of work, and we were afraid, but curiosity held sway.

We huddled close together and saw the lights of Kuala Terengganu flickering at the foot of the hill. And that night, our esteem of Ismail rose considerably.

Most nights he would clamber up the hill alone to sound the genta of Kuala Terengganu.

Later, when I grew up, the bell was silent for many years.

In the early 60s, a Syeikh forbade ringing the bell because it was not Islamic.

I don't know of any other country in the world that uses a bell to announce buka puasa. But he was probably being a bit too strict about it.

Today, the bell is locked away in a hut known as the Pondok Genta. (The bell is being rung again during Ramadan, since 2006.)

the last day of syaaban 1430H

2009-08-20T18:55:00.000-07:00

am i ready?

for ramadhan

the fasting month

30 days and night full with barakah

i hope i can be better person after this ramadhan

i have planned things-to-do:

wake up for tahajud, study and sahur everyday
perform tarawih every night
recite the Holy Quran after every solah
reduce eating during iftar - wasatiah

i think that's it for now. i'll think more later.

Ramadhan kareem, Allahu akram =)

finally, it's back to Bahasa again ... (sigh)

2009-07-08T09:09:00.000-07:00

It's BM from 2012

jaja was waiting anxiously about the result for PPSMI policy
and then it was announced that it's back in Bahasa

surprised, sad, shocked, angry, all in one
mixed feelings

again my beloved eldest nephew will be the victim
and
the next generation too

in my personal opinion
i disagree to revert the teaching of Maths and Science back to Bahasa

i'm nobody - emily dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell!
They'd advertise -- you know!

How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

be cheerful =)
