n i dun wan them to think dat i m a mean lecturer..
d sad thing is, some of them start 'climbing up my head', take advantage of my leniency...

when i found out students plagiarizing,
when i get to know students didnt send in their homework,
when some submit their assignments late,
WAT SHOULD I DO?????????

d nervousness when i get during my student's day n now neva decrease
in fact it has increased!!!
i even pray dat d ques wouldnt b tough for them..

i'm not sitting for d exam but my students are..
frankly, i'm so worried for them..
i'm afraid dat they fail to understand d ques, thus unable to write..
if they didnt follow d indtruction, marks will b deducted..

u guys won't understand how a teacher feels..

Prison VS Job

IN PRISON

all expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work at all.

AT WORK

You get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners.

IN PRISON
you get your own toilet . you get your own toilet . you get your own toilet . you get your own toilet .

AT WORK
you have to share .

IN PRISON
you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK
you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

IN PRISON
you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK
you get rewarded for good behavior with more WORK.

IN PRISON
you get three meals a day (free).
AT WORK
you only get a break for one meal and probably have to pay for it yourself ..

IN PRISON
you spend the majority of your time in an 8'X10' cell .

AT WORK
you spend most of your time in a 6'X8' cubicle ..

d things dat my STUDENTS taught me

LEPARKOUR
-any idea wat dat is frends???-
frankly, i neva heard of dat word before...
am i dat old??? (i'm only 5 years older den my students shouldnt b generation gap right?)
however, when i asked them wat's d fun of being a teenager, they gave me dat, n i was like huh, wat is dat!!!

MY BAD
-try to guess wat my bad means-
i was blank when my student said my bad
n i tried to translate as many malay words as possible to English..
it's keburukan saya....

PENSIVE
-d funniest word dat i've ever came across in my life-
my students were assigned by me to look out for prefixes and suffixes..
n my cutest student gave me pensive for EXPENSIVE...
he told me pensive is d root word for expensive..

DUN ANGRY ANGRY
-most of my students like dis phrase.. wheneva they think dat i'm upset, they'll say dun angry angry directly translated from jangan marah-marah- automatically, i'll smile..

UNTILL WHEN WHEN
-lol, can't stand nemore... d person who said this is a very handsome boy.. can u imagine my reaction???? all my students r too cute to b scolded... haha...
so, wat is untill when when?
initially, he refused to tell me, but yeah, i got d meaning when d class ends..
sampai bila-bila...

they can b very smart, creative and funny at d same time, even though i was angry but i can't scold them coz they r too cute.... grrrrr, i'm not strict la-most of them r not afraid of me...

*can u c how colourful my days r teaching here even though d bus system annoyed me and lead a hectic life where i have to skip my lunch everyday*

Bad Day!!

yuYesterday was a very bad day...
it was right after my convo, n all d bad things started to happen...

i cried!!!
it has been very long since i last cried..
i cannot stand anymore,
rapid kl-specifically U10 made me weep-i waited idiotically under d sun for 1 n a half hour (from 9am to 10.30am).... my hands were painful, feet as well.. not to mention my condition wasn't great.. due to exhaustion & hecticness from my convo, i can't stand nemore..
now i'm down wif flu n sore throat..
but i still hav to teach..

sob~

i shud b posting bout my graduation day, but i couldn't-d pics r stucked in d cam coz my dad forgot to pack d usb along.. so everything will have to wait..
hoc mun, b patient, i will post all d photos here soon..

still couldnt accept d fact dat d bus didnt turn up after 1 n a half hour..
sob~

so disappointed wif myself-

*slap head*

i appeared in d daily..

i guess not, many dun even read newspaper nowadays-every1 is too bz wif something call LIFE...

woot, i manage to find it online... however, d pix is ugly in d paper -i dun even look like a human, thank god i look like me in d internet version but still it's ugly -k la, i know i shudnt complain bcoz dat is how i look-..

during d press conference, i was really not in d mood as i was thinking of my students' essays all time but d camera men snapping pix like nobody's business.. worse, as i'm d only female receipient, i was asked to sit next to my vc, stand in d middle do dis n dat during photo session..
*so embarassing*

Oleh Norliza Abdullah bhnews@bharian.com.my

BANGGA: Prof Dr Sharifah Hapsah (kanan) bersama lima pelajar yang akan menerima Anugerah Pelajaran Diraja Majlis Konvokesyen Ke-36 UKM berluma 9 Ogos ini.
PENERIMA Anugerah Pelajaran Diraja (APD) Majlis Konvokesyen Ke-36 Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) membuktikan pelajar luar bandar juga mampu bersaing dengan rakan yang datang dari bandar dengan pelbagai kemudahan pelajaran yang moden apabila berada di universiti.

Roslan Ja’afar, 23, bekas Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Pepatih Palong 4, Gemas Negeri Sembilan kini menjalani program di Bank Negara. Katanya, walaupun tinggal di kawasan penempatan Felda dan sekolah di kawasan luar bandar, ia bukan halangan terus bersaing dengan rakan lain terutama daripada mereka yang datang dari sekolah yang mempunyai banyak kemudahan.

Bercita-cita menjadi pensyarah, anak ketujuh daripada 10 beradik itu mencatat Nilai Purata Gred Keseluruhan (PNGK) 3.88 bagi program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Ekonomi dengan kepujian cemerlang (Ekonomi Fiskal dan Monitori). Dia pernah memegang jawatan sebagai Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Mahasiswa fakultinya berkata, kejayaan cemerlang adalah berkat kesungguhan belajar bersungguh-sungguh pada awal semester.

Katanya, apa yang penting sebelum mengikuti kuliah, dia perlu mempersiapkan diri dengan pengetahuan asas berhubung subjek yang akan disampaikan pensyarah.
“Kaedah ini lebih berkesan kerana saya dapat memahami dengan lebih mendalam apa yang hendak disampaikan. “Belajar secara konsisten adalah antara faktor yang perlu diberi perhatian. Walaupun masa yang diambil sedikit namun kaedah berterusan ini memberi pemahaman berpanjangan,” katanya.

Roslan adalah antara lima penerima anugerah pada majlis kali ini yang akan berlangsung selama lima hari bermula 9 Ogos ini di Dewan Canselor Tun Abdul Razak UKM, Bangi. Sidang pertama akan dipengerusikan Canselor UKM, Tuanku Ja’afar Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

Seorang lagi penerima APD ialah Kee Meng Fai lulusan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Undang-Undang. Roslan dan Kee menerima pingat emas bernilai RM1,000 dan wang tunai RM2,500 serta sijil penghargaan.

Mohamad Zulfazdlee Abul Hassan Ashari, lulusan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Pengajian Islam dengan Kepujian Cemerlang dalam bidang Pengajian Arab dan Tamadun Islam, menerima Anugerah Naib Canselor. Dia menerima wang tunai RM2,500 dan buku terbitan penerbit UKM.

Dua lagi pelajar cemerlang menerima Anugerah Tun Abdul Razak sumbangan Yayasan Tun Razak. Masing-masing ialah Nur Ehsan Mohd Said, graduan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Pendidikan dengan Kepujian Cemerlang dalam bidang Pengajaran Bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa kedua.

Seorang lagi ialah Christina Ong Sook Beng, Ijazah Sarjana Muda Sastera dengan Kepujian dalam bidang Pengajian Bahasa Inggeris dari Fakulti Sains Sosial dan Kemanusiaan. Naib Canselor UKM, Prof Datuk Dr Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hasan Shahabudin berkata, konvokesyen yang berlangsung selama 10 sidang itu membabitkan 7,273 penerima pelbagai anugerah termasuk Profesor Emeritus (5) dan Ijazah Kehormat (5).

A mouse Story..

curi-ed dis story from marcus's blog... a nice 1...

n finally i hav time to browse through my frend's blog...

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

'What food might this contain?' The mousewondered

he was devastated to discoverit was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.

'There is a mousetrap in the house!

There is a mousetrap in the house!'

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her headand said,

"Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concernto you but it is of no consequence to me.I cannot be bothered by it."

'The mouse turned to the pig and told him,

'There is a mousetrap in the house!

There is a mousetrap in the house!

'The pig sympathized, but said,

"I am so very sorry,Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it butpray. Be assured you are in my prayers."

'The mouse turned to the cow and said,

'There is a mousetrap in the house!

There is a mousetrap in the house!'

The cow said,

"Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you,but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down anddejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout thehouse -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snakewhose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed herto the hospital and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for thesoup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighborscame to sit with her around the clock. To feed them,the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many peoplecame for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wallwith great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem andthink it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life.

We must keep an eye out for one another and make anextra effort to encourage one another.
