What's a motto?

What a motor with you ;)




We worry about life too much. We worry about our future. We worry about our past. We worry about our present. We worry about the what's; what we have to lose, what people might think of us, what might be. We worry about the what if's too; what if this turns bad, what if I fail, what if I couldn't survive. We worry about lot of things. Most of which are either uncertain or simply ... made up scenarios.  


Hence, we spend tremendous amount of time and energy worrying that we have became too occupied to be happy. Worrying pulls us back from keep going. Worrying dumps us in the dark. It is a depressing state that has ruined many lives.



Psychologically, worrying could lead to heightened anxiety and anxiety could trigger many physical and mental illnesses. This is due to the fact that anxiety could affect one's brain chemistry in a way that could alter future thoughts and your body (CalmClinic.com). Fuh.




To keep your brain and yourself at its best condition, stop worrying too much. Sometimes, it is hard not to feel too worried especially for women. Let's face it. Women do a lot of overthinking. In this post, I would like to suggest a mantra or a motto. It is;



Hakuna Matata which is a Swahili phrase for 'don't worry, be happy' is a universal philosophy which teaches us not to be worry and enjoy life. If there's something worrying you much, say this phrase out loud. It helps, at least for me. Or if it is not, give this a listen then sing along when possible:

Who would not fall for Timon, Pumba and Simon?

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.
