Day In, Day Out

Below are few basic tips to do well in English debates: Know your role; Do not introduce more than 3 arguments (one argument from the 1st speaker, two from the second); Do provide a lot of examples to support your argument. Accept at least 2 POIs (if you wish to decline POI, please do it in the best manner); Don't be text-dependent; Be extra careful with your pronunciation, language (don't make up words) and slip of tongue (ie: destructive and constructive are two different things); Never ever call the first speaker of the opposition Prime Minister.

My engagement day was a blissful day. I love: My mom's sanding kurung that I put in, My parents' diy pelamin (with a bit of my fiance's touch), My future sister-in-law's cake-in-jar for the doorgift, My family's extremely delicious cooking, My relatives' support and help, My friends' accompany and warm wishes, My family's friends presence. Also, My future-in-laws' treatment and acceptance. I love every bit of the day. Yet most of all, I love,  The one who uplifts me, The one I am going to marry;  The Fiance .

People who don't break character when they're betrayed, experts say, often have something else that defines them, like children, religion, a purpose in life; others who lose themselves entirely in their romantic relationships—and from what is observed, high-achieving women seem surprisingly prone to this—are more vulnerable to losing control. (source) When I was betrayed, I attempted to break my character and transformed myself into being the meanest and the most wicked woman ever lived in the betrayers' life. I study human and women hence to be one is not such a big deal. More, I had nothing else to lose as I have lost a lot in a game I did not agree on playing. Reminiscing my 10 months of misery, cursing words, harsh realities and heartbreaking nonsense, I am glad that I have successfully held myself from breaking my character and from being the meanest and the most wicked woman in the life of the people not worth mentioning.  Feeling betrayed and foole...

source "Are you listening to me?" "Sh. Do not disturb me. I'm in process of becoming a better learner. Where was I just now?" Articles and researches across the printed as well as digital media have identified the virtues of daydreaming particularly in the area of: self-awareness, creative incubation, improvisation and evaluation, memory consolidation, autobiographical planning, goal-driven thought, future planning, retrieval of deeply personal memories, reflective consideration of the meaning of events and experiences, simulating the perspective of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others' emotional reactions, moral reasoning and reflective compassion [and the list goes on and on and on].

Twenty Thirteen Twenty thirteen is a bad show. I don't intend to remember any part of it but the year can be concluded as below: Twenty Fourteen I'm on my way to a destination I don't know where alone. I'm slowly giving up on life. An abundance of gratitude goes to twenty thirteen and the wonderful people I'd met throughout the year.

  When it is time, it is time.   Every day and night, human be a Muslim or a believer of other religions prepare themselves for their way home in the best way that they know. Too frequent, we are busy preparing ourselves for our journey that we almost forget about the journey of the livings that we are to leave behind.  When we, human, are born to earth, we are assigned by God different roles; some are major and some are minor. Both are important but the major counts the most. The major to me are the roles as a Muslim, a daughter/son and a sister/brother if applicable. I am born to earth to be a daughter of a wonderful married couple and later become the eldest of four. As the first symbol of love of this couple, I grow old with love, expectations and responsibilities. The three are well-blended in me that when Malaikat reminds me of death, the first that pops up in my head besides of my deeds and conducts is the lives I shall leave behind. I weep and...

A month ago, as a result of students coming across the word 'New Year's Resolution' in their reading text, I made them list their 2014 New Year's resolution. The fact that I am teaching creative kids has always made me prepared myself for surprises in their work, be their idea or their bombastic word usage. Though I was as always prepared to read, digest and analyse my students' wonderful work, the resolution task brought me shock in regard to the existence of a worrying resolution. It was: Having an imaginary friend.  I was in shocked particularly because I believed that kids with imaginary friends were suffering from emotional issues as a result of loneliness, lack of love and lack of attention. For heaven sake, why would a kid seek to have an imaginary friend if unlimited amount of love, affection and attention are given to them? I presumed imaginary friend as a cause for concern thus having a kid who wishes to have an imaginary friend  by the end of 2...
