:: Thanks Sarah~~~ ::

:: Sarah giving her last speech to us. ::

Today is the last day for Sarah Fuqua our International Student Welfare Coordinator in INTED. She will be working in the City College in the Plymouth, City Centre after this which is not that far.. we still can see each other I think :D.. Sorry for the date on the picture.. the actual date was 29/05/2009~~ Just after our Micheal Hall class..

So we (Cohort 4) held a small Farewell Party for Sarah our beloved "Mother" over here. Sarah delivered a small speech. She told us that while she was staying in US she went for palm reading and the she was told that she will have lots of children. Although she didn't have children she realised that working in INTED she feel that all of us were her child. We bring some food and sang a few songs for her. She cried when we sang her "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith.

She been working very hard in taking care of us since we arrived here last year. I still remember she is the one who I keep on emailing before my daparture asking about UK and accamodation in Marjon... she is also the one who was waiting for us at the Heatrow airport when we landed (with other Cohort 3 of course).

To name all the things that she did for us it will be a long entry.... besides... I can't name it all hahahah.. One thing I would like to say...

THANK YOU SARAH FOR EVERY THING THAT YOU DID FOR US &
WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL TIME IN YOUR NEW PLACE.

Selamat Hari Guru: Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa

It is 16th May today (well in Malaysia not now in UK)... so it means that today is Teacher's Day. Boy I just realised that a lot of celebration happens in the Month of May... Teacher's day.. Mother's day.. you name it (actually I have ran out of idea heheheh). The point is, actually we do not need a specific date or day to celebrate and show our gratitude to all the people who really give a big influence in our lives. Loving and caring your mother, teachers, father etc.. is much more than just saying I Love You or Thank You. It is shown in our daily action. But as people already created a specific day to celebrate Teacher's Day why don't we just jump into the wagon right? hehehhehe. To all teachers, ex-teachers and future teachers especially in Malaysia (and of course around the world...) I would like to wish all of you HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY.

:: A Teacher for All Seasons ::

A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.

A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.

A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.

A teacher is like Winter,
While it’s snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.

Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You’re a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!

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.

Blank

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.
