SBE Experience to share with

Hi. 

It was my third School Based Experience and I could say that it was totally awesome. The teachers are good, the headmaster do treat us well and the pupils there give me such a thousand reasons to smile. I still remember, my last day at school was very hectic. There were not enough teachers to handle the classes so we were given a big responsibility to replace them. Well, I have to say that it was seriously hectic. Just imagined how we replaced those classes starting on 9.15 a.m till 12.45 p.m with no recess at all. We were all tired of course but there was something that put me in a refresh mind. I was in charged in 1 Sejahtera, the last class for Standard 1 and I entered the class for almost three periods. On the first period, I asked them to draw. They were freely drawing when suddenly a student called me and told me that the boy beside her took her drawing paper and run away. I scolded him for no concrete reason and he sat down quietly. On the third period, I came again and asked them to do the exercise on Mathematics. While I was busily teaching them how to convert words into numbers, the same student who called me up in the first period, used to call me again. She said that the boy I scolded before did no job. So I went to his place and asked him why. Another student then joined me and told me that he couldn’t write. I was touched. It was my fault after all not to ask him what the problem is but scolded him for no concrete reason. I gave him a big smile, as a symbol of sorry and asked him whether he knew how to write ABC. He just sat there quietly. I took an initiative by holding his hand and told him to write A while guiding him. I guided him till the word H and asked him to continue practicing writing at home. I was sad. It was my last day at school and I just noticed him and I could do nothing to help him.How I wish that the student will overcome his problem and may the teachers guide him. He needs to be treated like the others too, just so you know, teachers.Sk Dato' Abdul Hamid 2 will always be in my mind. And that special student too. May Allah bless him. Amin.

Facebook

I have no first love story to share with, a brand new phone to boast around or even an addiction towards something branded. Facebook, that's the one I'm gonna write about for I know most of us are a loyal Facebook users. Gotcha. ;) Everyone loves Facebook. Everyone, including me. I have to admit that I have wasted a lot of my time on Facebook before but recently, Facebook doesn't seem to be attractive anymore. Why? Firstly because everything on Tumblr are now on Facebook. I have to cope with a lot of timeline involving quotes. Sigh. Everyone puts some quotes on their Facebook status and claimed them as theirs. Euww. Have you no shy? And when it was getting Like by many people and they asked your permission to share your thought, you would proudly say "sure dear, why not?". Stinky stinks! It wasn't yours, it was someone else who you should make an effort at least to put on Anonymous if you don't know who the writer is. Come on, you have that feeling when someone stole your thought or ideas and claimed that as theirs, isn't it? So, bear in your mind, other people may feel the same too. 

I don't find Facebook as a medium to know a stranger, sorry. But other people did. Or should I say, girls did? Heh. I created a Facebook to find my schoolmates, not a soul mate. I don't get the point why girls could easily accept the friend request from a stranger, saying hi through a chit chat, meeting each other, fell in love and there goes the problem. Heart-broken, being lied and committed suicide. How funny you are. Never trust anyone stranger and please, find someone in your REAL life rather than in social network. It's more safer, girls. 

And yes, I think Facebook has no fun anymore. Trust me, Twitter is more awesome. It's annoying to change your status every 5 minutes on Facebook but not in Twitter. That's why we used to tweet. And there's no objection if you tweet on your daily routine and where did you check in cause it's Twitter! :)

Or being a blogger is more awesome? Ohh, cut off the awesomeness. You are not that awesome as Pyra Labs is. 

Kevin

Hi. We've discussed on a short story "Kevin" today and we've been given a task to make a personal response on "Kevin". Well, it was an interesting story to read on and there were a few things that I would like to comment.  Based on the story, I must say  that Kevin's situation, being scolded by his mother is a real life situation where there are possibility that some people are facing the same problem like Kevin had. Kevin was someone who had been pushed up by his mother to pass 95% in each tests. Well, I love Kevin for his will to be friend with untidy  Boon Kee when his mother said Boon Kee will be a bad influence. However, I don't like Kevin for his extreme obedient towards his mother. It didn't mean that a son shouldn't obey his own mother but sometimes, we have to speak up our yes or no. Besides, I knew that every mother wants the very best for their children but in this case, Kevin's mother seemed to be too much. She might ask Kevin to get 95% and above but at the same time, she should fulfill Kevin's for it will motivate Kevin to try harder. On top of that, I think Kevin's mother should accept that everyone made a mistake. It would be a carelessness but she shouldn't punish Kevin for his careless as he actually would learn from his mistake. On the other hand, I am strongly disagreed with Boon Kee's suggestion that Kevin should bluff his mother and turn the 82% marks to 100%. First, because his mother would check the paper and realized the mistakes and second, it what we called as cheating. Everybody should learn from mistake so Kevin should learn from it. For someone who was so stressed to be push up, it was a crimson joy to hear that his mother has been hospitalized. But, from my point of view, Kevin shouldn't react like he did act. He should pray for his mother to get well soon even though in one week period, he would be totally free from his mother's nagging. In my conclusion, I think that this story is full with moral values that we can learn from.

Long enough? :) Hopefully, you are not that sleepy while reading this. :Bye.

Summary of Drove Roads

Hi. We've learnt a story about Drove Roads last few weeks and we have been asked by our Madam to make a summary on the story. Here's mine. :)

"The drovers had to overcome the problem of the long journey by driving the cattle hundred of kilometres in much organisation. He had to make sure there is enough food for the cattle along the journey. As a matter of fact, he had to be skilful in handling the cattle so that they won’t go to the others’ properties. It would be a trouble if the cattle mixed up with the farmer’s as it would take hours to sort them out. Besides, cattle are easily frightened and sometimes, they might be a stampede when they are panic. Thus, the drover should understand the animals well in order to know how fast and far they could go.  Therefore, he had to make sure that they got enough rest so that when they arrived at the market, the cattle were still in a good condition and get the best price."

Building.

Hi. I have to state that this entry may be long and quite boring with no pictures to entertain you. Sorry. We have been given a task today, where we have to make an entry based on the title given. Guess what? I got "Building" to write about. Yeah, don't tell me how common would someone react to "building" cause I know, the image of building popping out through your mind is a concrete one. The one commonly used to be called as a tower or a house is a building for you. No worries, that was my first imaginary too. However, after going through the title and searching on the net for some ideas, I would love to say that building up my confidence is one of building too. :) It wasn't lame, honeybee, it was subjective. I know it may be different from what you have been thinking of but who cares? Everyone has their own opinion and mine was it. Building my self-confidence. Have I told you before, I have such a low confidence in walking in a crowd and speaking in front of the others? Yes, I was. It was long ago before I built up my confidence level and be more braver in public. When I was in my primary school, I was someone who teachers won't take care of. Seriously, there were no teachers who said that I was good in this and that and gave me some opportunities to show off my skills until one day, my English teacher asked me to see her. I remembered, I was in my Standard 4, sitting in my classroom and someone called up my name and asked me to see Mrs Hayati. Mrs Hayati then asked me to join the choral speaking team for my school. Well, at first, I thought I was wronged because there were two Alyaa in my classroom and I wasn't that good in English to have a priority to be chosen. Besides, I have no confidence to speak in front of the others and I worried that my pronunciations would be so bad. However, Mrs Hayati kept telling me that I could do it and I should see that as a challenge to improve my English and build up my confidence level. She trained me as well and she told me that to act confidently, I have to think confidently. It took times, yes, but it was the self-esteem that taught me how confidence was gained through an experience. 

I know we have that fear. Fear of facing people, taking challenges and so on and so forth. But one thing that you, yourself have to make sure is, how far would you go to build up your confidence level? What is the best way will you take to improve yourself, to face your fear, fearless? I've took mine and I have overcomed my fear. How about you? :)
