My favourite session ever!!

 Why  must we watch all these movie?

1) Mona Lisa smile
2) Lean on me
3) Finding Forrester
4) Chalk
5) The Ron Clark's story
6) Akeelah and The Bee
7) Precious

This class is focusing on giving us input on how to be a good person and teacher. The insights and moral values in these movie can only be understood by teachers who are dealings with all kid of students. For example , those teachers in the movie have unique approach and care about their students .

Some of these movies were associated with the lives of the real life teachers, their stories of dedication, determination, and inspiration, can help all teachers rejuvenate and remember the impact they can have on the lives of their students. 

** I just wanna thanks Dr. Jaya ,  Miss Alicia and Miss Amelia for  this wonderful semester..

Mr. Vahid's suprise!!

It's been a long time since we have seen Mr . Vahid. He came in our class explaining on how to produce an effective argumentative writing. According to him, it is an action of “making a claim or taking a position”, “providing proof in its support”, and “accounting for the probable objection”. Mr. Vahid also taught and show  us how to write a good argumentative writing by including a few elements, such as in  data, bridge, rebuttal and qualifiers. He also provides a few examples for us to look at.

My favorite part of the day was eating Dr. Jaya's KFC treats. It was delicious (because it is free..) .
Dr. Jaya and Mr. Vahid are really g-r-e-a-t !!

Triple trouble's fable ..

"A fable is a succinct story, in prose or verse, that features animals,
mythical creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature which
are anthropomorphized (given human qualities), and that illustrates a moral
lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be expressed explicitly in a pithy maxim."
- Wikipedia-

Fable? Why must we write and draw our own fable? I must admit, it terrifies me a a little bit because I am no interest in artsy fartsy. Thank God that I've got two  others group members who are talented in drawing (pheww). First of all , we must choose what features we wanted to draw. Is it about animal, people, horror creatures and etc.  We talk and we eat  while discussing because at that time we were at the KFC . While we are talking, the idea suddenly emerges (out of no where, really!!). The idea of a boy who is lost in the jungle . He were forced to eat a pig (a really cute pig) because there are no other food around.  In the end he died. You want to know what happened to him? Just read our fable.. (the fable is in Dr. Jaya's collection). So, the morale story of our fable is "Do not make easy things any harder".

**Triple Trouble's fable is fabulous (Mira , Nabihah , Adnin)!!

Research paper?

This is one of the hardest job of all time for me (I'm a little over dramatic here..)  . First of all , let me tell you that I love to read , but to come out with an  interesting idea for a research paper totally drain my brains out. Maybe , t was my fault because I cannot think seriously and always having difficulties to come out with "original and new" idea.  I have submitted a few topics, and it all get rejected ( It's a shock for you all, but it's failure for me...). Anyhow , I will try my best to come out for new ideas and finished my research paper. Good luck to me!!


Position Paper

What is position paper?

It is like a debate, a position paper presents one side of an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and defensible. Ideas that you are considering need to be carefully examined in choosing a topic, developing your argument, and organizing your paper. It is very important to ensure that you are addressing all sides of the issue and presenting it in a manner that is easy for your audience to understand.

In the class, we've been discussing the issue of arranged marriage. Most of us agree on  love marriage (I am one of them). This topics makes us to think about the advantages and disadvantages of arranged marriage. Is it still practical in this era ? This are the question we must answer and as practice to argue in order to write our own position paper.

Knock-you-down!!

 On the tutorial class, we've been asked to bring our own laptop for a "Drowgames Knock-out competition" . Well, guess what guys? I've won .. woohooo!!

I've won!!! Second- place.. and I 've got my prize .. thank you all.

But I couldn't attend the prize giving ceremony due to other commitment. But if I were there my acceptance speech would be like this:

" OMG , y'all!!(exited) First of all I wanna thanks all my friends who were kindly enough to lose to me because they are all very kind -hearted person. Actually, I've managed to convinced them to feel sympathy to me as I never won anything before.. and for the first prize winner.. I won't mentioned name here.. I hope you are happy because I let you to win... hahaha .. thank you again..."

We have been instructed by our lecturer to attends a researcher exhibition  at  PKKSSAAS, UPM. It was a new experience for me because I never  attend an exhibition like that before. There a lot of extraordinaire things that I ever heard before  and it is really fascinating seeing them with their own creation and founding. They seem like a total brainiac people as they are manage to come out with things like that. The last booth I visited is Dr. Jaya's booth. I must say that I'm totally impressed with their explanation on the things they created, I don't remember what its called , but it looks likesome kind of an English Language system for students and teacher.. Congrats for those who are working on such magnificent tool. Salute!!!
