Hidup

Everybody has their own story. One person life story won't be the same to the other person life story.

I don't know yours but mine isn't a pleasant one.

Tiring. That's the adjective which can sum up my whole life story. Many times, I give up with life. I do. I give up a lot of times. I cry in bed, in shower and even at the library when I can't hold the 'pain'.

I struggle a lot in my life, so I definitely don't see any point of one to envy me. I'm doing TESL, yet my English is never good. That's why I spend more time on reading books. I just want to be at the same level as my degree friends here. I'm very into my future dreams, yet I don't have the money to walk my dreams. That's why I invest each penny that the government gives me on my future. I can't buy that prestige handbags and heels, cause my dreams need the money. I wanna get married to the man I love the most as soon as possible, yet getting married is harder than combining the 1000 pieces puzzle. So frequently, I choose not to talk about getting married.

Life is hard and never good. I miss those years when I completely don't have much to think about.

Dear God,
Please give me strength. I need a lot of it.

Parking Lot

Parking Lot has been considered as one of the best practices in the 21st century classrooms besides the famous group seating arrangement. In Malaysian public schools especially in Sekolah Amanah, it is a mandatory  to prepare a space or an area in the class to put up a Parking Lot. Per contra , to date, teachers are having a lack of proper guidance on the use of Parking Lot as a consequence of  the non-existence of a blueprint or a printed guide from any Malaysian education departments on this practice . Worst, the knowledge of Parking Lot is succinctly dismantle to teachers while they are having courses on 21st century classroom or learning, during Professional Learning Communities (PLC) sessions or during department meetings. It is through these short sessions or meet-ups that Malaysian teachers are made aware of the benefits of Parking Lot. Even the practice could benefit both teacher and students, the lack of understanding on the practice  results failur...

Use Malay (L1) instead of English (L2) in English Lessons?

The debate on the use of L1 in L2 lessons has been going on since forever. Different scholars come out with different theories and hypotheses yet no one theory or hypothesis has become the most significant. After all, it all depends on the teaching context. The use of L1 has always been a contentious issue. Teachers have choices whether to: ban L1; minimise L1; or maximise L2. Again, it all depends on the context the teachers are in. It is best to also mention that even so, teachers who resort to the L1, despite their best intentions, often feel guilty for straying from L2 path (Cook, 2001). However now, let's not talk about teacher's use of L1.  Let's look at student's use of L1 in L2 lessons.  Should we ban the use of L1 among students in L2 lessons? If not, why are there a lot of suggestions given to cut or limit the use of L1 in L2 lessons? I remember when I once made it a rule that students should only talk to me...

Nadia Anjuman

What should I do with a broken wing Which does not let me fly? I have been silent too long, But I never forget the melody. Since every moment I whisper, The song from my heart. Reminding myself of the day, I will break free of this cage. By from this solitude, And sing with abandon. I am not a weak tree, To be shaken by any wind. I am an Afghan woman, It only makes sense to cry. Nadia Anjuman was a talented Afghani poet who was beaten to death by her husband at the age of 25.  Al-Fatihah.
