Busy days

     Since from the last time i wrote on my blog, i had been busy doing all the coursework and the assignment. Actually, it is not just me but in fact it includes all of the other course mate. There were some who seems very free. This is because they did not care what will happens. they just leave their work aside depending on the other to do for them.

     I hope that i will have a better course mate that will strive along with me so that i do not need to do all the work on my own which is killing me. Sometimes i need to do the work of 4 alone and the credits is not only mine but also the rest of the sleeping members that take it for granted. Maybe this is the problem that the lecturer says to us that there were a lot of students that is warded due to mentally disorder. These are the culprits that drives one to the mental disorder stage.
 
     Isn't it better for the students to stream among other classes so that we had the chance to work with the other people. It enables us to change our group members and reduce the burden. I am saying this because my class right now have a lot of sleeping team members and the one always with them are ME the pitiful one. Luckily, i had won some sympathy from the girls and i am allowed to join their groups and it really decrease my burden where we share the burden equally and we had done a good job at it. So, in short, i really hope that the sleeping members will change their negative attitudes so that their problem did not bother the others.

     On the 12th of October, Tesl 4 & 5 went for sports and recreational trips to Mount Berlumut for our Gerko. As we arrived on our destination, first of all, we are given a brief lecture on the do's and dont's while we are there. Mount Berlumut is called Mossy mountain by us^^. Then, we were asked to go to the dining place where it is also the place for the Muslim to pray. Then, when the Rangers came, we went for a walk which took about and hour and a half to end to learn about the plants and herbal plants. Later, we are given time to rehearse our "Malam Kebudayaan . After that rehearsal, we had our bath followed by prayers and then dinner. For the Muslim, as usual, they pray at the dining place, we, the non-Muslim, pray for a safe journey for the next day where we are going to climb Mossy mountain. then we chat for a little while. After dinner, we performed our performances where we are judged by our lecturer. At the end, we are announced that TESL5 is the champion. After that, we had a short congak time with "pak chan" where he teach us one great techniques to play and to calculate mathematics. Final activity for that night is the moonlight walk where we are directed to walk in a long lane without using the flash light so that we can observe the natural environment. We can see that the plants glow. Most of the glowing plants came from the white mushrooms. Then, we are allowed to sleep.
     For my night shift, i suppose to duty only at 3-4am but, i woke up at 2am so i duty for 2 hours. On the 1st hour, the duty people are only Loretta, Haziq and also Karen. Interesting parts is that Haziq cooks like a soldier wher ehe cooks maggi mee for Loretta and also himself. Then, they went to bed and i continue to stay for duty. For the next hour, there are nothing interesting that happens. Then, i also turned in at the dining hall with Malcolm due to the smell of the people sleeping inside the camp who is selfish and think of himself only.

     In the morning, we are awake at 6 and we are given time to cleaned up ourselves. Then, we are called to have our morning exercise where it is quite tiring with our empty stomach. Then, we had our breakfast which is not as heavy as what the lecturer tell us. And we set off to the mountain.
     Malcolm and i are a team where we put our thins together in a back pack and a sling back. We exchange bah when one of us gets tired. It is very tough to climb the mountain. We have a lot of stops because of tiredness. as we reached Check point 2, i started to feel my legs cramping. Then, when we are almost to Check point 3 i cant walk anymore. So, Malcolm and i started to wait for helps. When Amin comes, i get medication from him and then he set off. then, i tried to climb a little bit more but my legs are not cooperating. So, i had to stop and sit there to rest. after 30 minutes we decided to go down the mountain where we meet Mira and Karen with one of the guides. They gave me another drinking bottle and Malcolm set-off to the mountain with them. I, alone went down the mountain. As i am walking down, sometimes i feels creepy and scared because i dunno what is around me. There are also times where i dunno where to walk and though that i am lost. But at the end, i arrived to check point 1 where i met Madam Ashikin and Lufthi with the guides. We had a short rest and then the guides take us to a waterfall nearby where is is a beautiful scene. The four of us had a leg treatment where there is one type of fish that eat our dead skin. Then we went down the mountain and prepared ourselves to take of back to the campus.
     It is a pity for me because we almost reached the top but what-to-do, both of my legs are cramped. All i can say is that Goodbye Mossy mountain...
    

Wasting time on 11/10/2010

     today, Tesl 1,2, and 3 went to Kluang trip for Gerko where we are going to Gunung Berlumut. For us Tesl 4 and 5, we are going tomorrow on the 12th.
     Now, i am writting this blog on LDV lesson where we are called to do our newsletter which i had done mine 3days ago. Now, i am just waiting for the rest of my course mates to do their parts where how i wish i am not in the group with them. There are bumps who does not want to do their work and taking their courses for granted. Sometimes, it is just too tiring for me to do the job for a whole group of five. Imagine you alone need to do 95% of the work while the rest only write their reflection. it is totally unfair..
     is this what we called "FUTURE TEACHER"? Are these bumps going to graduate like the rest who do the work? To the people i am referring to, please change your attitude for the better because i did not want to be labeled "LEMBU masuk pun boleh jadi GURU" where our lecturer tell us about the teacher image to the public.
May our country improve towards the better and not the otherwise.

Tiring day

yesterday is one of the hardest day in my campus life's. in the morning, i am called to help-out with Gerko stuffs although i am not one of the AJK. while i am helping out, i saw the what we so called AJK, eating and taking their time to walk back to the class. While i am carrying the bags(camps inside it) and reaching the class where i am suppose to put  at, they want to lend a hand just to look good in front other people. after they did not get the things from me, they just entered the class leaving the rest of the things carried by us. they just want to look good in front of others and did not want to do their work, their responsibility.

after the class, i went back to my hostel where my senior roommates started the cleaning. the three of us just changed the clothes and start to do the cleaning without having our lunch first. the cleaning process is very tiring and energy taking. though, we have the will to continue to clean it up because tomorrow is the "block terbuka" where the Pengarah will come to visit our block and also the other block.

Today, the upper part of my hands feels like tearing apart because of the heavy loads that i carry yesterday morning and the cleaning job. i hope that my arms will be fined before my camping trip to Kluang on Yuesday^^

Reading Importance

   As we all can see the pictures where i download it from google image, that man is old but he is still reading the books. This shows that age is not a barrier for anyone to read books. Furthermore, reading is a life-long process where we get to improve our selves mentally and also equip us with the important  information where it is the foundation of a person success. A person is usually judged by the books he/she had read. The more you read, the better your future are as an old adage says "today a reader, tomorrow a leader". So, for anyone who wants to be a successful person in the future, starts reading NOW. It is never too late to read.

Funny story(from other sources)

The religious horse

Once a man bought a horse. You had to say ....halleluyah to make it go and amen to make it stop.

The man was riding his horse one day but then he realized he was riding to an edge of a cliff.

He was so scared he forgot how to make the horse stop. He thought this was the end of his life and he started praying, ending the prayer by saying.....amen!
The horse suddenly stopped at the edge of the cliff. 'halleluyah' said the man with a sigh of relief and off went the horse?

Alligators in the Pool

   A CEO throwing a party takes his executives on a tour of his opulent mansion. In the back of the property, the CEO has the largest swimming pool any of them has ever seen.

The huge pool, however, is filled with hungry alligators.
T   he CEO says to his executives "I think an executive should be measured by courage. Courage is what made me CEO. So this is my challenge to each of you: if anyone has enough courage to dive into the pool, swim through those alligators, and make it to the other side, I will give that person anything they desire. My job, my money, my house, anything!"
    Everyone laughs at the outrageous offer and proceeds to follow the CEO on the tour of the estate. Suddenly, they hear a loud splash. Everyone turns around and sees the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in the pool, swimming for his life. He dodges the alligators left and right and makes it to the edge of the pool with seconds to spare. He pulls himself out just as a huge alligator snaps at his shoes.
    The flabbergasted CEO approaches the CFO and says, "You are amazing. I've never seen anything like it in my life. You are brave beyond measure and anything I own is yours. Tell me what I can do for you.
The CFO, panting for breath, looks up and says, "You can tell me who the hell pushed me in the pool!"

maths exhibition

pop up 1

pop up 2

 Today, we, teslian from group 1-5 were asked by our lecturer to visit the mathematics exhibition where most of the Maths senior put a lot of effort to make it a success. these are a few pictures of their work.

     there are a lot of things that attract my attention. first of all, it is the pop-up. it is so magnificence where it produce songs out of it. surely this will attract the children attention.^^ the exhibition is fantastic. thumbs up for the seniors....

everyday schedule

     This is the route that i and many others who lived in block G and H need to take in order to get to our class.At first it is a very tiring and energy consuming walk where it is 15 to 20 minutes walk from our new block to the old block and also to the outside world. Try to imagine that you need to walk for that long while carrying bags that is has paper, books and also sometimes laptop. It is a torture to our shoulder. However, there are times where we will meet with a kind hearted  people that will give us a ride to our destination. Thanks to the people that had gives me a ride.
     Then, for Monday, we will have to go to DST Dewan Seri Temenggong for our assembly while Tuesday to  Thursday we will have our morning exercise and for Friday, we will have our Moral talk while the Muslim will go to the Surau.
     For a Teslian, most of our class was held in DDKA where it is air-conditioned. It is a cool place where the air-condition is on until we leave the place. This comfortable place is misused by most of us where we take it for granted and sleep while the lecturer is giving us the lecture.Hope that all of us will change this bad habits and listen to the lecture.
