School holiday!

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

As of tomorrow, the school will be very quiet hehe. I should drive the truck just to bring in a little noise. Diesel bah. And as opposed to the daily routine on school days, I'll be one of the ones to arrive early to school because the 6.30-ers will leave home for work late.

Movies I'm looking forward to this December! Please watch with me?



Faster ani I don't know when, but got poster at Qlap mall. I wanna watch it because it's The Rock!

Aahhh that's all for now. And of course the Malay movies too.

December to-do list :

1. Come up with teaching aids
2. Scheme of work? (doubtful)
3. Sports!! i.e : aerobics, hiking, swimming, netball, etc.
4. Diet. *cough*

Oh I forgot about DDR!! Kan main tah semula ni.

And oh!! New hobby sal ada new camera! But I'm a newbie so don't judge! Hehehe.

Ideas!!

Sunday, November 28, 2010

So I met some of my students at Qlap mall today. They were catching a movie too, "Ngangkung". And Anis suggested the idea of field trips. Not a bad idea. Some time this year, another English teacher took her students for a visit at the Royal Regalia. Perhaps, next year I should bring mine to the movies. Watch a Disney movie or something. Then ask them to write about it.

To summarise, my way of teaching this year was kinda difficult to follow and frankly boring. I can't tell how many of my students I caught with eyes half close, nodding off feeling sleepy, and YAWNING. My problem is, I worried too much about grammar because I believe the key to good English is grammar. But I see now grammar is not important, at least not yet at this level. What's more important is they can understand and communicate in English - doesn't matter whether it's grammatically correct or not.

So...I should focus on EXPOSURE. Be exposed to the language as much as possible.

*BEAMING*

Mudahan inda hangat-hangat tahi ayam.

And jangantah tukar madahku dulu. LOL.

Toodles!

After three months

Hello! So today I did a little sweeping, and by little I meant - threw all blog entries away from this blog. But aaahhh - fret not - I just transferred them. I didn't delete them. Because I know one day I'm going to read through them back for reference.

Digressing, I remember the other day I was searching for an entry I distinctly remember writing. It was right after I had done my thesis proposal about Al-Quran studies. I found out this phrase, it was very uplifting. I tried to remember back the phrase, but to no avail. Even tried googling about it. In vain. So I went through my blog entries, and yet again - to no avail. Then I cross-examined everything. Tried to remember when I wrote that proposal. Long story short, I had no evidence against believing that I wrote that entry on SR.com. That's short for Saleharania.com. It's not there anymore because after one year I didn't renew my account. I regret now not backing up all the files and entries I posted on Karin@SR.com.

So all my old entries go to this archive -> Zaty's Past. It's locked of course, but you can always ask for a key, ya?

Toodles!

PS : And oh - this blog is now open to public.
