Kids....

Browsing my favourite website this morning and there this funny entry. It is about a 4 years old boy who dialled 911 to ask for help. Rather than asking for help because of an emergency, he dailled 911 because he is having some difficulty with his Math work. Apart from that it is because of his mother, who might tell him that if he have problem with his Math work to call for help... but the boy interpreted "help" as dialling 911. Down here is the recording of the 911 call.



Operator: 911 emergencies.
Boy: Yeah I need some help.
Operator: What’s the matter?
Boy: With my math.
Operator: With your mouth?
Boy: No with my math. I have to do it. Will you help me?
Operator: Sure. Where do you live?
Boy: No with my math.
Operator: Yeah I know. Where do you live though?
Boy: No, I want you to talk to me on the phone.
Operator: No I can’t do that. I can send someone else to help you.
Boy: Okay.
Operator: What kind of math do you have that you need help with?
Boy: I have take aways.
Operator: Oh you have to do the take aways.
Boy: Yeah.
Operator: Alright, what’s the problem?
Boy: Um, you have to help me with my math.
Operator: Okay. Tell me what the math is.
Boy: Okay. 16 take away 8 is what?
Operator: You tell me. How much do you think it is?
Boy: I don’t know, 1.
Operator: No. How old are you?
Boy: I’m only 4.
Operator: 4!
Boy: Yeah.
Operator: What’s another problem, that was a tough one.
Boy: Um, oh here’s one. 5 take away 5.
Operator: 5 take away 5 and how much do you think that is?
Boy: 5.
Woman: Johnny what do you think you’re doing?!
Boy: The policeman is helping me with my maths.
Woman: What did I tell you about going on the phone?
Operator: It’s the mother…
Boy: You said if I need help to call somebody.
Woman: I didn’t mean the police.


hehehe don't you think that was funny? :D and the operator is very helpful. He did try to help the boy.

:: My Website ::

Assalamualaikum & Hi to all....

Long time no see. It had been a wicked week these couple of days. Been busy with my education spectrume. But thanks to Allah... I managed to overcome all the educational challenges in these couple of days. Been busy lately with my TSLH03 project. Designing my own website. Seems like a boring website because it is all about educatinal stuff and I have to write reviews and all. But actually I have been enjoying myself throughout this module. Gaining new knowledge in the ICT field is very rewarding.

So if you want to have a look on how my website is CLICK HERE. Enjoy.

Wassalam & Bye.

:: Little Things That Made My Day ::

Yesterday was kind like a tiring day for me. Class from 9 am till 4 pm (with breaks of course) and then I have to go to work as cleaner...very tiring. But I was happy. I just realise that in this world not all those big and glorius things that make you happy.. but actually, the smallest things in the world can put a smile on you face. Yes it is true, I was walking to work. Dragging both my feet, I push myself to work. As I walk in the nature reserve I saw two bunnies happly hopping around and it did made me smile....

Dang!!! You are old mate.... uuhhuhuh

While working in the iVillage today, there this three people who were sitting in-front of me. I just can't strain myself from ear-dropping into their conversation. Ok this is soooo not me.. the reason was they are just totally NEAR + IN-FRONT OF me.. plus they were talking loudly. Ok why do I need to justify myself? hehehhe ok... back to the topic. Actually the thing they were talking was interesting heheheh down here is just a reconstruction of their conversation...

Guy 1: What course are you taking?
Guy 2: Herm..bla bla bla bla * I can't remember what the courses are.
Guy 1: I did those in my second year.
Guy 2: Oh yeah? Did you? How old are?
Guy 1: 20. How bout you? *talking to the the girl
Girl : 20...
Guy 1 : You? *talking to Guy 2
Girl : This guy is a baby...>chuckle< heheh >hugging Guy 2< he is just 19... *tergedik-gedik geli plak... aku tgok.
Guy 1 : You're 19? >laughing< ahhahah
Guy 2 : Yeah... >laughing< hahahah

Ok looking at this three people I have to say they are more mature than their real age. I'm just surprised to know their real age... they don't look like 20 and 19 years old people more like 25 I think. They are big ( I mean not FAT big) and tall. If compared with me well huhu I look old and I AM old and I'm not that tall... This year i'm going to be 22 years old huhuh. Look at them they're young.. and I'm OLD arghhhhhhh!!!

p/s: What is the purpose of this entry? I myself can't find the answer.... huhuhuhuhu

After SPM: Make It OR Break It.

The 2008 SPM results are already out and I'm sure that right now most of the candidates are busy applying to further their study. After SPM is the point of your life where you have to think about the future (for us Malaysian). It is either you make it of break it. Sometimes it is kind of weird to think that our future is determine on how good is the result of our exam. But, there are still lots of people outside there who prove it is wrong to determine a future of someone base on their exam grades. But hey that is just how the world works.

Back to the topic. For those who got flying colours result for their SPM, applying to further their education in the courses that they really want seems like a breeze...or not? Each year the number of those who get straight As or GOOD result for SPM increase. This means that the competition for them to get their most sought after courses (like medicine, biology etc..etc....) is harder. For those who obtained ordinary result they have to think harder in order to apply. My sister is also part this people right now. She just got her result a few weeks before. She didn't get a straight As result but overall she did well.... Alhamdulillah.. I called home a few days back and ask her what she want to apply to further her study. She really didn't know what to apply but she does have a few courses in mind. So as someone who been in her shoes before I gave her a few word of advice that I myself use before. These are few advices that I gave to her.

1. Follow your dream - Life is about fulfilling your dream. I told her not to blindly select a course base on what people tell you to do. You are the one who should make your own life. I just hope that she will choose a course that she will not regret at the end and enjoy learning. Hey..education and learning is all about things that you enjoy right?
   
2. Be realistic - Yes we can dream as much as we want but we must be realistic. The real world is cruel and YES we can't be everything that we want. I told her that she must be realistic with what courses that she want to apply. Look back at her SPM result and choose courses that in-line with her SPM result.
3. Ask Mum's opinion - I know that my mum is someone who believes in the choice made by her children but asking the opinion from a mother will not hurt you. Although she might not know much of the current education situation but she is the one who have all the experiences. Furthermore, it is kind like "mengambil restu dan berkat".
4. Think about the future - I told her that nowadays to find a job is not easy and lots of graduated students still looking for job. I ask her try to look for a course where it have a demand for workforce. So that in the future it will be easy for her to find a job... InsyaAllah.
   

I know she will make the right choice. And I would like to share my simple advice to all of those who are looking forward to further their study. Good luck to all of you.

~ Of Thai Food and Slumdog Millionare...

Last Saturday (28 February), a few friends of mine and I went for a night out. We went to a Thai Restaurant for dinner... It has been long since I taste of authentic ASEAN food ahhaha :D Although I can cook some food but the taste of dining out is just heavenly pleasant...but it is much better when you don't have to pay anything for the food ahahaha.. Yes thanks to Hana and Zati for the treat. The restaurant was superb and the atmosphere was just great with the Thai songs played again and again... it just make you feel that you are really in Thailand !!! Ok then, no more yapping ...let the pictures do the talking...

:: Me and Nad ~ while waiting for the food ::

:: Tiku, Hana and Izzati ::

:: Again after the food have arrived we still taking pictures ahahah :D ::


:: Thai Omelette (orang Melayu panggil telur bungkus) and Mixed Fried Vegetables ~ we just ordered seafood and veges only ::


:: Then we gear-up our sweet tooth for these trail of ice-creams!!! ::


:: Mine was this mango delight with strawberry sauce ::

Then we head ourselves to the VUE (it is like GSC back in Malaysia) to catch Slumdog Millionare. We walked there from the city and on the way we met this guy where Tiku and I worked together during our Royal Mail job last December. I was shocked at first because in out of no where suddenly someone say hi to us and shook my hand (mind that he was at that time eating fried chicken uhuhuhhh bau ayamlah tangan aku). Nevertheless, we managed to get ourselves safely in VUE. Ok at first we thought that we will be able to have a few round of bowling before watching Slumdog Millionaire at 11.20 pm but to our dismay it was full house and there isn't any free alley for us until 11.20 pm well just our luck. So we waited outside the screen entrance for nearly 2 hours... These girls are always up to something and they always know how to spend the time. So we played charades while waiting to go in... and took more pictures.

:: Playing charades nearly for 2 hours ~ it is very hard for us to guess what is the words ::


:: Taking more pictures ::


:: After buying more FOOD we find our seats ::

All in all it was a superb night.. not that I really fancy going out at night (herm jarang pon.. kat Malaysia lagi lah) but hey it is marvelous. Thanks to all my lovely friends...

~THE END~

Before and After.

Hi there,

Where to start? Ok let me tell you what happened yesterday. Yesterday evening, we received a visit from two senior officers from Ministry of Education and Teacher Education Division, Malaysia and one from Malaysian Student Department, London. They came late honestly and we spend much of our time waiting *Dah lah I hate waiting for people...haih*. They were here to sign-up an MOU with Marjon regarding the new cycle of B.Ed TESL groups that will be coming over here this year. We were told that for the next cycle only two cohort will be learning overseas and the rest will continue their degree program in local universities. That is what the cabinet had decided. But I'm sure when the economic downturn end the government will continue this program with the next cycle. They also took some of their time to visit Marjon and have a talk with us Cohort 4 and 5.

Back to real story. During the talk, one of the officers looked at some of the boys (including me) and particularly interested with our long hair. So she start to talk about us not portraying the look of what a teacher should look like. I was dumbfounded when she talked about us having long hair and look not as "smart" as the newcomers. Yes I have realised it that my "shabbiness "are not suitable for the profession that I'll be persuing in the next few years (Just want to ask, do I look shabby?). But it doesn't mean that I will stay looking like this until the day I'm back in Malaysia.

I don't feel that I'm less than other if I look like what I'm now.

To tell the truth I just want to have a long hair. I know in Malaysia even if you not a teacher , having a long hair for a Malay guy is kind a out of the norm and people will look at you negatively. But the situation is different over here, I'm in UK and I just want to have a long hair, furthermore cutting hair over here is expensive. You have to pay £10.00 for just cutting your hair and that is worth of two meals. Yes I know the way that I try to justify myself seems a little bit childish. I know she is afraid that when I start my profession I will give a bad influence to the students. But afraid not Ma'am, I still remeber the ethic of being a teacher and it is my dream job, to touch the mind of our young generation so that they will be come someone useful in the future. Just for once, let me be someone that I want to be for a while over here. When I'm back in Malaysia, I promise that I will portray the "CITRA KEGURUAN" that the Ministry of Education sought after from their teachers...and that is a PROMISE.

p/s: Hey what am I doing right now? Blogging? I should start writting my assignment right now!!! ahhahaha :D

.: WELCOME :.

Just want to wish all B.Ed TESL MARJON Cohort 5 a warm....

although the weather is not that great now.. we hope that all of you will be settling down just fine. Hope that all of you will have a great experience here in Plymouth.

Currently Listening To...

Another post... ahahha.. seems that you are bored Suhaimi? Yes I think so... ok.. now this post is about songs that I keep on playing this couple of days... and for this part only the English songs first ok.. Just want to share it with my fellow readers...

1) Heaven by Brian Adams.

This original version by Bryan Adams is sooooo great... He is a Canadian rock singer-writer. Most of the songs he sing written by himself...and most of them are great..but I personally love this one.

2) Heaven by DJ Sammy and Yanou.

And this one is a cover version made by UK DJ Sammy and Yanou. There is a techno version of the song.. but I think the classical and slow music of this version is much better.

3) Shout by Lulu.

Another cover song sing by Lulu another Britain singer. This song is made popular by her in 1965.

4) Top of the World by The Carpenters.

I don't know why..just that I soooo in Love with this song~~

5) Halo by Beyonce.

I'm not really into Beyonce's songs but this one is just marvelous.

6) My Boy Lollipop by Millie Small.

I just love to hear the voice of Millie.. her voice is just unique to the ears...and the way people back then dance..is just funny to see :)

p/s: I know all the songs are kind of old . But it is still feel fres for me. I admit it that I'm not a person who keep track on what is the 'IN' thing all the time. Moreover, I just listen to songs that I like regardless which era it from.

.: Kantoi ehehe >_< :.

Hello readers,

Kantoi or in English, caught red handed. That what happened to me a few days back. Huhuh to tell the truth, I'm a person who love to 'blog-hopping' from one blog to another. Last year, thanks to Marjon's 'high speed internet connection' I started this hobby. But one day, I found this interesting blog about a Malaysian English language lecturer's life. All of his entries were interesting for me. Some were sad, some were funny, some were just full of inspiration. So I guess I got hooked up with this blog. Almost everyday I will click on his blog waiting for it's owner to whip up interesting new entry.

It has been one year now since I become a silent reader of this blog. But as I have told you a few days back the unthinkable happened.. I'm officially kantoi-ed by the owner of the blog. He left a few comments on my blog. I was so surprised to read his comments.. How in the world did he manage to tracked me back? To make it more interesting It has been like 8 months since I linked his blog to mine without asking his permission. Now I have come clean with him...and hey he put my link in his blog. That is an honour!!! ^_^V.. Thanks Cekmi!!!

-End of Yapping-

Love the new colours (BLUE!!!) as it is my favourite colour. Changed the blog's title and description into lovely words ahahhaha. Hope all of you like the changes that I've made. Till then... Ja~Naa...

:: SALAM TAHUN BARU ::

Another year come and go~
For me there are lots of stuff that I have acquired and learn this year...
2008 opened it door with a good start... But at the end things gone a little bit bad...
Some are good.. Some are bad...What is important is how we take it...
Think positively and sure everything will be fine at the end...
What I have to say is we must look forward on the future without regretting anything...
What has happened~ just let it be... What we must do is think what to do next...

So over here I would like to wish to all readers...


Salam Ma'al Hijrah 1430H

Feeling the breeze slowly blowing on my cheeks...
Sleeping soundly...
Undisturbed by anything...
Ceh ... Can only dream for it right now...
I'm still in the term...
UK terms are a little bit different from Malaysia...
Yes I know it is already holiday in Malaysia...

~CUBE BERFIKIR~

Herm.. I'm been hopping around to other people blogs..

Reading all of their interesting entries...

Make me jealous on how creative they are in their writing...

It make me wonder...

Am I not creative enough??

Sometimes it make me think twice what I suppose to write...

It has been long since I wrote anything creative...

But another question arise from this entry...

How do you define creativity?

Well it make me wonder (again??)

I feel that creativity is all about you...

About you and only you...

So now I'm happy....
As I has understood...
Without holding back now...
