Mohammad Redzuan Abdul Rahman.


you were part of my dream that came true. you were there to witness the best experience ever. in fact you were part of it. if its not bcos of you i would regret ever going. you were there during those lonely summer days. you listen to all my whinings. you watched how Mr. D progress from 150 words to 11 500++ words. your words of encouragements keep me going. you make my autumn less dreadful. you make me enjoy doing my work. you warm up my winter. you make my final days in UK the best ever. you make sure my phone rings everyday.. =) well, you are just wonderful. bcos you are my boyfriend =) take care dearie.. study rajin2 k? i will wait for u to come back..

so there goes.. some of the main people who make my life here in UK a little more than just a dream come true.. a little bit more than just a fairy tale.. they are real people who touch my heart and soul...making the 22 months wonderful!

please eQin...never forget all this.. always look back and smile to this.. to this very day.. ..

this is most likely the last entree of the year. and the last entree before i go back home. im going to London in a few more hours. spending my last days in UK in my dream city with the guy that every girl dreams of =)

life will never be the same again. i was 20 then.. im 22 now. i have grown so much..i have learnt so much more.


Seasons change and fashion change…
what remains stay remained…
No matter where I go
With who I am
I am still the Nurul Yaqin u know…
Only changed to be a better person by day…

i am living the dream. the dream i never dare to dream. this dream has come to an end. time to go back to reality. get ready to live life to the fullest. again.

shall we meet again? someday. perhaps.

misteri kehilangan Vaseline

Monday, lepas maghrib, kul 4.30 ptg ye...T_T [puasa tak abis ganti lagi....rugi rugi...tsk tsk]

tetiba jek aku mencari Vaseline... teringat sebelum fly dulu..merengek rengek aku meminta vaseline tuh.. dahle beli yg besar gabak... aku budget2 2/3 bulan abis la pakai...huhu...T_T setelah 22bulan...luak sket jek.. [tak buleh nak kata luak pun sebenarnya...] mungkin cucu aku nanti pun sempat nak pakai..wakakakaka... tapi mana ek? keadaan bilik pada masa itu sgt le memeningkan.. tambah plak...otak aku cam takleh nak berfungsi masa tuh.

Do Not Touch Anything. Messiness is a sign of genius.
Tidying up could impact negatively on my mental development.

Bukan nak kata apa la...tapi that is sooo true! huhu... tak caya..pegi tanya ainee! ntah mana la pegi vaseline aku nih.. 'aa nanti la kemas...ada la tuh' aku biarkan fikiran itu disitu. [wah cam tulis cerita plak..huhu] fikiran aku beralih ke isu lain plak...

Tuesday, 1 tghhari..

aku sedang bersiap2 untuk ke ASDA.. tetiba rasa cam kering giler bibir..'hmm..mana ek Vaseline aku nih??? barang seme dah kemas..' sambil mata aku meng-scan rak dan meja study yg kosong.. dan atas bedside table aku juga kosong... sekilas aku memandang ke arah rak di sinki, yg sehari sebelum itu penuh dgn segala mcm jenis lotion dan alat solek aku.. [koleksi yg tak seberapa tuh...huhu] kini semuanya kosong... ahh kosongnya dunia ini...dunia kecil aku ini...*jiwang jap...*

sepanjang perjalanan ke ASDA, macam perkara dalam fikiran aku...termasuk la.. kemana pegi nyer vaseline aku tuh.. segabak2 vaseline tu buleh plak ilang... brooch yg kecik tuh jumpa plak.. huhuhu.. aahhh pening aku memikirkan.. dah lah tak tido semalaman..

Wednesday, 11pagi.
....aku hampir pasti, vaseline telah selamat dikotakkan... T_T tanpa relaku. kotak yg mana? aku tak tau.. huhu.. tanpa sedar aku letak jek kot dlm kotak yg ada. aaaaa otak aku takleh nak recall pun mana letaknyer vaseline itu untuk kali terakhir.. nak vaseline!!!!!!!!

betul la.. i cannot tidy up my room!!!!! it negatively impact my mental development.. T_T dahle mmg tak pandai.. makin tak pandai le aku pas ni...huhu

haaa ni sapa nak jawab nih??? bibir kering...kulit kering.. vaseline takde nih??? huhu...camne nak gi dating nih? (*_*)

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I hope you all have a lovely time during your last few weeks in England . Travel safely if you are doing some final exploring and enjoy the company of your friends over the holidays.
It seems only yesterday that I was waiting for you all to come through the gate at Heathrow and now I don’t really want to think about next year without your company –
I WILL MISS YOU!!!!!
Good luck in all you do in the future and please keep in touch.
With much love
Sarah



yesh it felt like yesterday. i have no freaking idea what would we do without u. u are the one we turn to for everything. anything at all.

if we are sick. you make the appointment with the GP
if there is no heating. you fight for us.
if we are having problems. you would do anything for us.
if we need a map. you get one for us.
if we didnt come to class. you check on us at home.
if we need the extension to one of our tutors. you get it for us.
if there is someone need to confirm anything about us. they speak to you.
if we want to go to somewhere. you arrange it for us.
if we need to make phone calls urgently. we can make it from your office.
if there is oppurtunity for anything good. you will let us know. like the time i get to volunteer. thanks.

and lastly before we go, we need a lift to Heathrow from college. you arrange it for us. thank you!

you prepare everything for us. you do your very best.

and the best of all, personally, when you call my mobile to check if me and my friends are ok during the London bombing thingy. im always proud to tell everyone, i get to know about the incident from my welfare officer who check on my safety during the summer holiday.


Dear Sarah,

what would we do without you? thanks. many many thanks. for making the last 22 months of my life the best! Happy Christmas. Hope to see u again!

with much love,
Yaqin

kenapa apakah?

demmit.nate.

tension tol aku. last nite, i was preparing for the exam. i read this soooo powerful article by Abbot 1992. it was soo inspiring that i want to write a blog entree. its just tooo good. but this bloody dashboard was down and could not be access. haih~ there goes another superb entree. abis da la...seme dah curah kat exam tadi. huhu... tho it wasnt really the thing i want to write and comment, i could still tell it here. but now... im too bloody full and tired.. from the sooo sedap salmon and the sesi modelling with the girls.. hehe.

...aaaa...apa nak wat nih?

ohh..hehe.. biasanya for exam orang wish 'Good Luck'.. All the best.. may the force be with you.. and usually i will say 'all my best wishes and prayers are with you!' but this is the best pre-exam wish i ever get.. hehe.. nasib baik dpt tau lepas exam..kalau tak mau aku gelak sorang2 dlm exam hall tuh..huhu...

selamat menempuh alam peperiksaan mistikus yg penoh pancaroba dan apokalips.... harapan kami seluruh 22 juta rakyat mesia terletak di bahu anda untuk menagngkat martabat ibu pertiwi di mata dunia dengan kejayaan yang gilang,terbilang dan gemilang.... andai kamu gugur, kami akan tabur bunga diatas pusara...sekian, dari sheffield, utk plymouth, ke mesia..

thanks for all the wishes and prayers. very much appreciated.

dengan ini saya mengumumkan pengajian tahun 3 B. Ed TESL tamat dengan rasminya! yahuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

huhu.. nak gi library cam dah tak logic.

eh.. logic2!! nak pulang buku and posing dlm library.. kekeke.. aku nak gambar cam shanu ari tu k? =P
*pandang kiri kanan* kenapa aku rasa cam tak logic jek nak kemas seme barang aku... mampukah?

hmm tu jek la. i have tonnes to do...and spend as much as possible with the people im going to left behind....spend the precious last moments here...

..before i left and leave all this behind as the best 22 months in my life...

and i have just one thing i could left here as an appreciation to those who have coloured the last 22 months in my life.. =)

Do I really have to go back? T_T

My Christmas Shopping!

ngeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... =D

suka tau...

sama sibuk ngan orang putih...

My Christmas Shopping Episods

its starts in London....where i spend almost £150 for souveniers only!!!!
...huhu..nasib baik le aku balik mesia skali jek. that was on the 26th of November. just after i submit Mr D!

it was then continued to the 2nd Episod with Julie.. was it on the 2nd of December?
Julie took me crystal shopping.. we bought Royal Doultan crystal glass! it was soooo cheap.. i bought some too..hehe.. aaa lagi..i bought some baju for my baby boy.. ADAM ALIF! other than that...i cant remember! but Julie bought some stuff for her too.. sungguh syok!

then it was continued again.. 3rd Episod. i went out again today with Julie... she is looking for her dinner party dress. we found one in BHS.. it is soooooooo pretty. great bargain too! then i feel like i want to buy those crystal glass.. skali nampak plak barang Nina Ricci..waaa... going for £3 and £5.. huhu.. wanted to get the pallete..but then found Max Factor gift box going for £8.. ada blusher, eyeshadow and lip pallete. hehe.. i did say i wanted to buy blusher kan? kalau beli kat Body Shop..sama jek £8.. but dpt blusher jek la. and its Max Factor.. kekekeke.. then i saw this bag.. waaa sungguh comel! last week i wanted to get a bag to use as my hand luggage. its so cute n comel.. kaler pink of course. and its only £10! haha.. suka! last week i wanted to get one in Sports World. tapi tak berapa berkenan pun. then i went up.. and beli another 2 boxes of Royal Doultan crystal glass. hehe.. yg minggu lepas for mama. this one is for my own use.. ngaaaa! kesimpulannya itu jek la i bought.. hehe.. happy sgt!

ok then. tinggal perfumes jek. that one save untuk shopping nanti kat London after christmas. yea!

thats why i love christmas and everything about it. its lights. its decoration. its spirit. and most of all its shopping! time to be happy and merry...

oh!! just one more wish!

semakin hampir~~

...tinggal 3 minggu 4 hari..[menurut counter aku yg kat bawah tuh!]

the clock is ticking.. fast..

rasa cam nak abiskan assignment cepat2...
rasa cam nak study siap2 untuk exam..

biar semua cepat berlalu...

tapi nanti..

kena start packing barang..
kena terima kenyataan..
kena kembali ke realiti..
kena jadi adult.. [dok UK buleh jadi kanak2 ok?]
kena fikir masa depan..
kena buat pilihan yg tidak pasti..

kesimpulannya...

aku memang tak suka ketidakpastian. aku benci memikirkan yg tidak pasti.

when can i get your confirmation stamp?

the reason Sudi loves to go to ASDA!

Friday 1st of December. well, December is a magical month. with the festive spirits. the beautiful decorations. the christmas lights. isnt it great? and today, 11am, we went up to Inted to help them decorate the office. the tree was just great. and an emergency meeting was held regarding the ticket. i got my flight time including my connecting flight to Kuantan. T_T and i dont think anybody could send me off...


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

anyway, today isnt that bad.. hehe.. the four of us decide to go to Asda.. i need to pick up a few things as well. nak beli baju untuk baby boy saya!!!! =) realising ada beberapa hari jek lagi before we are leaving, maka sesi bergambar menjadi lebih intensif..

the craze starts when i was wondering around the bread and confectionery aisle searching for scones. tetiba jek..

Sudi: eQin!!!! [sambil meng-grab tangan aku...dan terlompat2...]
me: wat???!!!!
Sudi: dia ada....[muka dok sengih2 cam kerang busuk..]
me: haa..jom lalu...[ikhlas siot....]
Sudi: gila ko...tamau aaa [...eleh malu2 plak pempuan nih]
me: laaa....jom la.. meh aku teman.. [aku dah offer tamau plak..isk...ikhlas lak tuh...huh!]

then, kitaorg teruskan memborong sekitar ASDA..

..Frijj Brownie baru distok..aku telah memborong sebanyak 4 botol..kat mesia ada tak ek?

setelah membeli...kitaorg decide nak pegi minum2 kat Cafe atas tuh.. diaorg tak penah lepak kat situ lagi..so kitaorg pun naik la..table yg kitaorg pilih tuh, view dia cam cun arr ke aisle roti.. nampak plak mamat Heath Ledger tuh..clear nak mampus plak tuh... haih~~ maka tersengih le cik puteri Sudiana yg suka makan telur tuh..[hehehe..mati aku tak mkn malam nih..]

Maka dengan hikmat kamera sakti tuan puteri jula Julie...beberapa keping gambar mamat tuh telah disnap secara Huda-razzi..[explaination later k?]..disebabkan aku yg dok paling tepi..aku try la amik.. tapi gagal le..sbb muka mamat tuh cam tersembunyi disebalik biscotti2 n broiche2.. maap le Sudi..saya seorang yg gagal..T_T tapi dok tergelak2 dah kat situ...and mamat tuh dok perasan.. abis kantoi2..(*_*)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


kemudian.. aku ngan Julie turun untuk pegi beli Julie nyer CD..aisle Cd sebelah aisle roti...maka aku ngan julie cuba la nak amik gambar mamat tuh...dah mcm2 cara dah kitaorg try.. hehe..

Julie: Roti yg ini ke eQin? [sambil cuba curi ambil gambar mamat tuh dari celah2 roti...]
me: haaaa...roti ni la yg aku cari...[...tu bukan roti la...tu waffle...huhu]

..kesian roti tuh..

Julie: ehh tadi aku ada nampak buku record2 tuh..mana ek..
me:...??
Julie: haaa tuh dia.. [sambil mengambil buku tuh untuk mengcover camera sakti nyer..]
me:...erk [kalau dlm anime..sure muka aku dah ilang dah...]

ni hasil trick Julie..

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


aku dah tak larat nak gelak dah.. kitaorg pun naik la ke cafe tuh balik. memang dah kantoi abis tahap gaban dah. memang mamat tuh dah tau..dok pandang2..bila tengok aku ngan julie..dia terus jek pandang huda n sudi kat atas..pastu dok bergelak sakan kat table tuh lagi...skali Yg teramat hebat lagi berkaliber Huda-razzi mengoffer diri..

Huda: ko nak aku gi amik gambar dia depan2 pastu blah?
me: serius huda?
Julie: dah2...jom la weh...balik weh..
Sudi: ....[aku tau sudi nak..tapi malu nak cakap....Mahu tapi malu =P cheesy gila ok?]
Huda: serius ni..kalau nak meh aku gi..
me: ok..kalau gitu...ko gi..kitaorg tunggu kat depan..aku malu dah. dia mmg dah spot aku.


seme pun bangun... bersedia untuk saat genting.. turun, sort barang, aku pun dengan segera menolak troli ke arah pintu depan..

Sudi n Julie telah pergi mengendap...hehe.. mana la tau huda tetiba pengsan ke..

aku dgn leisurely menolak troli sambil berkira2 apakah yg akan terjadi.. sampai kat aisle salad.. tetiba aku nampak huda straight jek ke arah aku..dan nampak sudi n julie dok gelak2 kat blakang..

huda: dah2 balik...
me: apa terjadi???
Julie: ko tau.. si huda tuh..pegi mintak permission nak amik gambar dia..
me: O M G!!!!! hudaaa.....[huda ngan sudi checking out the outcome..]
Sudi: aaa aaa.. comey nnyerrr...
Huda: ok dah. malu dah..balik..

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Balik la...tunggu bus.. sambil2 tuh..

me:aku rasa cam tamau gi ASDA dah pasni..

huda: pun sama!

Julie:aku mungkin akan pegi..tapi bukan ngan Sudi..

sekali Sudi buat announcement...

Sudi: nanti kalau dia nampak kat Marjon nanti...kata jek it wasnt me..
me: nampak kat marjon???
Sudi: ye ar dia kan budak marjon..
Me, Julie, Huda: SUDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!! huarghhh~~~~~

..camne la plak kitaorg tak ingat yg mamat tuh blajar kat Marjon... (O_0)

Malu abis dah nih.

anyway, Sudi...tolong la bagi Christmas card kat mamat tuh.. bukannyer kita jumpa dah dia pas nih.. bagi tau jek la.. kalau ko malu nak bagi.. meh..aku sanggup jek...hehe..

it must be the best Christmas ever for him..=) and for us too...

...ye la...nak ke kat mesia ko gi amik muka mamat yg susun roti kat carefour midvalley tuh? huhu.takde gila nyer nak wat camtuh!


haih~~susun roti pun susun roti laaa
...janji muka cam Heath Ledger...(*_*)
ps: tolong la sudi....tolong la ngorat mamat tuh!

Friday, December 01, 2006

...thank.you.very.much!

aaaaaaa....

jangan sapa2 remind aku dah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


huarghhh!


T_T


berapa kali nak cakap


orang tamau balik la!


TAMAU TAMAU TAMAU...


kalau aku balik, Sue nak membebel kat sapa..

kalau aku balik, sapa nak gaduh ngan Michelle kat Inted nanti?

kalau aku [+budak2 kelas aku] balik, maka akan sunyi la Inted. T_T


semua orang ingat aku happy sbb nak balik dah. tak. aku tak happy. aku tamau balik. balik IPBA plak tuh. lagi la tamau. semua org kata aku looking forward to go home. no! infact it would b great if i dont have to go home yet!

tadi...aku terfikir..for the last 20months, my life did change. but its not a different world here. its just a different place. i still do what i did. but i do did so much more la.. nothing has change that much. i am still the same me. perhaps, hopefully, better. well travelled for sure. and much more cultured.

living abroad sure bring much more than just studying abroad. but im still very much protected. have not really taste real life yet.

...balik mesia dok IPBA. curfew kul 11pm.

...praktikal. mungkin kena dok hostel gak.

...posting. mama suruh dok Kuantan. T_T


kalau dah Princess tuh.. Princess gak la.. tak kemana la aku nih... T_T

...for now. i just want to enjoy wat i have. yes. an assignment and an exam paper. a few more days to spend with my favourite doctors *hugs* ... a few more days to hang out with my other babe, Ainee *hugs*, a few more days to spend with unlimited access to internet for chatting *virtual hugs to my chat buddies* , and for blogging *virtual hugs too for my bloggers n beloved blog* [bersawang le blog aku pas nih...], a few more days to wake u up every morning, having somebody to wake me up for class, and somebody to wish good nite and sweet dreams before bed...[yesh u...T_T].

the fact is. i enjoy this kind of life. many many times. i have said. this is like a fairy tale. living in a fairyland. u know.. when it gets up all foggy n misty.. it feels like u r on a cloud? its kind of depressing sometimes. but yeah i actually like it. when you look out of my window, it does feel like u r on a cloud..

when you get back to Malaysia. its like returning to reality. which is sucks really. its like the real world. which since i was 14, reality bites, cruel world, harsh life. thats what being told to me. tho i dont really experience it. but yeah, i dont intend to. thankyouverymuch.

living here is much more than just being away. its not really a different world. just a different place. and i have less than a month to living the dream...

Thursday, November 23, 2006

Mr D!

....here goes nothing.

last night i am done with my Dissie.
at about 12 midnite ++ i burn the CD so i could print n bind it today. yeah i did that.

and while the CD is burning...and no.. no flame are insight! korang caya tak? tetiba jek that lagu ...'its the final countdown... '


ala lagu yg slalu main kat RTM bila nak New Year tuh?!! huhu..

i was like..DEMMIT! why la this song..?T_T

anyway.. there were few occasions that my ipod played this song while i was in the library, spending quality time with Mr D...i have decided there and then that this song will be my official PDS song.. just like my offical Summer song..T_T

haih~~


My official PDS song..


yesh Mr D is leaving me soon..

2 months i have spend times with Mr D...

sampai sini saja percintaan kita Mr D... T_T

Mr D fact sheet

its already printed..2 copies....

last word count = 11 582

number of pages:

38pages [text only]

46pages [title page, table of content, statement of originality, abstract, acknowledgement, text, list of references ]

60 pages of appendices telah menelan duit aku sebanyak £5 untuk di photocopy.. includes 3 units from the textbook, part of HSP and Lesson Plans..

in total =106 pages

abis ni apa cerita nih? appendices lagi tebal dari dissie aku nih? T_T

and it costs me...

£10 for printer credit [2 copies of text etc including appendices]

and bind..

£4 for cover page yg kaler biru with Marjon's logo in gold

£5 for binding costs

£1.20 for plastic covers

...for both hard copy

now now...

nasib baik le CD aku tak yah kuar duit lagi...huhu burn berkali2 pun still free..T_T

but its all done now.. i can hand it tmrw.. but im leaving it with me..

i will hand it in on Friday morning.. make sure i wake up k? huhu.. kang sesia jek! T_T

takkan semudah itu aku nak lepaskan... i have work on it like mad.. the last time aku berkampung kat drawing room ni was bcos of Primary Dept exam.. but this is serius case. darling havent seen my room for like a week already now..

but i can still remember the feel of holding Mr D yg telah siap di bind tadi..

cant believe it weh.. huhu

emosi gila.. the moment has arrived.

and soon it will be gone.. out of sight.. out of mind...

i remember i was all excited to start..

i was stuck.. cant write.. writers block

i panic...i talked to liz..

still cant write.. panic panic..

i cried.. T_T

...thanks for being there and listens to all my whining.. i once said its going to finish a week earlier bcos of you.. hehe well its not a week but i finished earlier than other people la..hope i can return the favour while u r doing urs..=) thanks soo much! can never repay u of course.

many things change. i learn many many things. i figure out routine that works for me. i adapt my life to it. i change this and that. i figure out systems to do this n that with minimal effort.

im surprised to see myself work like that. i never thought i could. come on.. how many times u have seen me work my butt off like that? even untuk SPM pun aku tak study cam ni..

even for usual assignments, its only 5% of the effort im giving right now...

Mr D.. may you worth everything i give...

ahh tak penah la aku rasa emosi cam ni.. boyfriend pun aku tak sayang cam ni tau? T_T aishh~~

i give all i could..

i did all i can...

right now, with all my heart..

i hope it can repay some of my debts...

Mr D.. i hope u wont dissappoint me....

i did my best.

wasnt that bad really...it was GREAT!
yeah..it was great

of course it was..

Sunday, November 12, 2006

wouldnt it be nice to actually have time to reflect and report the great time i had
wouldnt it be nice to actually have time to do all this and all that...

huarghhh aku tension la.. there are alot of things happen lately...good and bad.. happy and sad..

memories.. the ones that i cherish!

the most important thing of all...walaupun aku menyampah, sakit hati, tension, etc etc bila kena paksa wat dissie nih.. tapi...

bila masa lagi nak tgk aku luangkan masa dengan liz tetiap minggu???
bila masa lagi nak tgk aku meminjam articles dgn hebatnyer???

...aku terpaksa akui...

the process of writing this dissertation...

although it is not wat i would say the best learning experience...but i must say its the most memorable one!

...huarghhh...sibuk2 nak reflect plak...gi siapkan tuh!!!! chapter 2 pun tak abis2 lagi..dari summer..masuk autumn...ni dah nak masuk winter dah..tak siap2 gak lagi..

T_T bila nak abis ni...


Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Your days
You say they're way too long
And your nights
You can't sleep at all
Hold on
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through


...tak...tak sama..aku wat topic bodo2 jek..aku evaluate textbook jek.. aku tak wat psychology.. aku tak wat pasal motivation.. [tapi apasal le liz suruh aku susah2 gi baca buku pasal psychology for language teachers and motivational strategy in language classroom??? pelik pelik..siap recommend kat aku..bagi pinjam lagi..huhu...] anyway, aku ni tak critical...topic aku ni simple2 jek.. T_T nak wat camne..

demmit!

...let it go eqin
...u still have another chapter to complete.. and thats like another 3000 words to write..


See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive


alive?

Sehari bersama Liz

.... i spend almost 4hours with Liz today.. huarghh~~ lebih bnyk jam dari aku spend dalam satu hari dengan woo atau sal atau leli atau julie atau sudi...atau... atau...T_T oh she is my bestfriend.. why the fuss... anyway she said im a good girl... (^_^) ...and didnt i tell u i love her?? [ok...kalau rasa nak muntah.. leh blah skarang.... huehuehue...]


anyway, thats not the point...


Language, Education and Development [LED for short] is one of the two subjects i took this term. i still cant see the relevence but there is alot of interesting things and facts.. 3hours [with Liz of course] class make you want to go home and hide under the duvet [lagi2 skarang ni sejuk giler..syok seh tido~~~] till dinner time. mainly its about many countries language policy and what it did to the country and its citizens. and i have an opinion about our Malaysian language policy in terms of Education... [can i still change my d***** topic??]


anyway, it was rediscovered... an issue back in year 2000, where this fella [dont even know who he is...not even in the education field i guess..] try to make a revamp by saying we should have back English [as the medium of instructions] schools like the old days before all the education bills ie penyata razak, penyata rahman talib etc etc.. published [which make the Malay Language as the medium as instruction in all national schools].

he said learning english does not make u less of a malay or less patriotic or less nationalist.. well i must say it does not.. [...walaupun BM aku masa SPM dulu dpt 3B jek...T_T...English leh plak dpt A..huhu]. after all this year..i must say i am still very much of a Malay... still makan pakai tangan k? [does a 2 year craving for Ikan Patin masak tempoyak make u believe me???]

i went to an English kindergarten for a year, then to a very-heavy-English-influenced national primary school [Methodist Girl School] before i went to you-are-an-alien-with-antenna-if-u-speak-English school... T_T nama jek SMART...hampeh! but the main reason why i improve my english was bcos during Year 6, i develop an interest in reading english novels.. [largely thanks to my friends].. thats how i develop my interest in the language. but you see, learning a language includes learning its culture because language is part of culture.. remember Siti's song Kurik Kundi? ;) when u learn english, you cant see much of its difference..but take an example of learning Nihon.. [aineee help plisss].... but im sure those people who took Jap are also interested in knowing its culture. dont get me started about how culture can bring a whole different meaning to the language... look what happen to Standard British English being turned into Malaysian English?? [read in Wikipedia...very very interesting]..please dont say thats not because of cultural influences...

contradic to my status now.. an English teacher to be...i am 100% against the idea of having an all English schools again..

1. it will further divide and continue to separate and congragate our society using the language status thingy...isnt it sad? for all the things we did to make people live together peacefully...why want to undo all that??? do u want chaos?
2. ...in the newspaper article, he said the decision made in Razak report to make Malay Language as the sole medium of instruction is a 'mistake of history'. now...isnt that like pot calling the kettle black?? it is not a mistake..the goverment did what they think best for the citizens at that time. it may not be the best now.. but who can predict the future? wat la weh~~~


half of the things he said is true.. English, being the Language of Wider Communication, is important. being able to speak, write, read well in English is crucial and becoming even more vital in the business world and information technology era. We must do something to increase the standard of English in Malaysia if we want to keep up with the rest of the world...

... and yes...at the moment..i can see many many flaws in our Education System.. and in regards to the standard of English in schools..


...why must we make the student suffer even more with Maths and Science in English? it was hard enough to understand it in Malay.. wat more in English..our second language..and to some a foreign language. Quoting the UK Minister of Education, 2003..he believes that lesson in the first language will help student succeed. I think its obvious...for eg how many Malaysian students are there in UK alone? All of us learn Maths n Science in Malay and many of us are engineering students... cant u see that simple connection???

and why...why... must we make the teachers [who are being undervalued... pressured... buried under tonnes of workload.. ] suffer even more and more??? haih~~ dah la kerja banyak..gaji sikit.. bagi lagi kerja extra...pastu bising2 kata cikgu tak buat keje?? malas mengajar? sapa nak buat kalau cam tuh?? tau tak apa itu motivation? extrinsic? intrinsic?? demmit! T_T ...even for me, trying to explain simple maths problem to a 9 year old in English is a problem [...i get A for maths in SPM as well ok?] with sufficient language and maths knowledge i couldnt possibly explain how to convert KG to g to an English child!!!! T_T [aku seorang yg gagal...]. its not as easy as it sound. FYI: Teachers DO have a life..they have families, kids and other resposibilities.. takde pasal la nak mengadap buku sepanjang masa weh~~

ok so u can see...im not 100% with that policy either.. and the implementation.... aduh la.. satu kegagalan tahap abadi...

no textbook... no coursebook... teachers not trainned.. help? aiyoo...far from easily available.. kalau masa tu la baru nak cetak buku...baru nak panggil cikgu pegi kursus 5hari [ingat 5 hari cukup ke?? huhu...] baru nak tubuh jawatankuasa untuk support cikgu2...hmm...tak kesian kat budak2 yg baru masuk skolah tuh??? T_T its not wrong.. maybe im not 100% with it.. it can be done...it can bring turmendous positive effect...but do it the correct way.. ni macam nak menghancurkan bangsa sendiri jek...amenda la..

above all...there is one more thing i couldnt understand.. why the fuss of trying to revive English schools and make Maths n Science being taught in English in order to increase the fluency of the English Language in our society...but there is NO major change done in the English Language Syllabus???? dah kenapa?? shouldnt that be the first one we looked at? Is our English Language Syllabus perfect? [haha]

...im amazed...


ok la.. enuf about the English Language status in Malaysia.. lenkali jek la aku sambung bab exam plak...T_T tu lagi satu la.. tolong la tukar segera... woi!! dengar tak nih??? tukar la exam system tuh... TUKAR...boleh tak?? tak berkesan langsung dah...

penat dah...mau pegi tido wat keje.. saya ada 6200 lagi nak kena tulis...erk...yg ni leh masuk skali tak??...tapi cam tak masuk topic la...T_T...
