CHAMPAGNE STORY

Assalamualaikum and hello to all, especially my Bel130 students (Ehem...),

Past tense was my first lecture with my students last Tuesday. Yes, I know it is BORING (too bad guys, you have to learn it AGAIN and AGAIN) to talk about it since we are learning it as early as 5 years old (or shall I say since we were given book or books as our birthday present). True enough, my students still haven't deleted past tense from their memory. (Due to the fact that, Nabil was able to answer my question though in MALAY). Guys, you owe Nabil this time.

Without wasting any more time, I proceed with the activity, CHAMPAGNE STORY. The moment I mentioned about it, my students went HUH? (They are giving me the blur face, with eyes with open). In case you are wondering what is champagne story, it is basically inculcate writing and speaking in learning. Students need Font sizeto come out with 6 to 8 words (in my case, I gave them the words) and among those words, they must have one character as well as events or holidays or festivals that we have around the world. Later, they need to create a story by using those words in past tense (since I just taught them past tense) without the ending. The other groups need to guess the ending by asking YES/NO questions.

At first the questions and answers session was a bit slow, but when the SECOND GROUP and onwards were presenting (The acting was good as well), there were questions thrown from members of the floor (They already got the rhythm of the game I guess). We ended up laughing, questioning and asking questions. (I noticed that IZZAT was not asking YES/NO questions but that is not the major problem, the participation that count)

All in all, I was enjoying the lesson and also thumbs up to my students because they were able to come out with such a creative story with limited time. I was expecting more adventures experience in next classes and at the same time still get the cooperation from my Bel130. InsyAllah. ;D

More Roses Are Coming In

* You can't even see the thorn of the roses. Frankly speaking, when I stand among my male students, you can't even see me.


Assalamualaikum and selamat sejahtera to all (Trying to sound formal),

Class started at 8 am today and again, the same problem occurred, I NEED TO GO UP AND DOWN THE ELEVATOR (not that pathetic actually since I'm using the elevator) just to get the key to open the language lab. However, looking on the bright side, I lost a kilo (though I really do not want this to happened anyway) as well as it's making me fit (Hopefully). Soon I reached the class, the lab is already open. THANK YOU SO MUCH to the technician man (Not for opening the door, but more on making me exercise early in the morning which I never done before).

However, what actually happened to me is not the main point for this entry, BUT... 16 more roses are coming in and altogether, there are 30 MALE STUDENTS in my class and NO FEMALE STUDENTS. Exactly... I am the thorn among the 30 roses. Instead of I take care of them, hopefully they will take care of me. Apart from that, I am hoping that I can cope with the stress cause by THESE MALE STUDENTS (which hopefully they are kind and good enough).

I do hope that all of us will have a good time through out the semester and DO NOT TAKE BEL130 FOR GRANTED. The new comers are:-

1) Nabil Ifwat Bin Muhamad Hamdan
2) Abdul Hariz Bin Ahmad
3) Muhammad Ikram Najhan Bin Ibrahim
4) Azizul Bin Azizan
5) Muhammad Faiz Hamidi Bin Aziz
6) Muhammad Nur Zarif Bin Mohd Shuhaimi
7) Mohamad Hafiz Bin Mohamad Taib
8) Andrew Anyi Lipa
9) Charles Nanang Silas Sumping
10) Mohd Emirul Shazrix
11) Mohammad Farhan Bin Ahmad Roslan
12) Mohd. Izzat Bin Zainuddin
13) Abdul Alim Bin Mohamad Roseli
14) Muhammad Hasif Bin Yusuf
15) Mohamad Aizuddin Bin Baharudin
16) Mohd Ridzuan Bin Abd Aziz
