HAAAA...I'M A DEAD DUCK!!!

3rd October...I was still not feeling weel with the bad chesty cough, flu and fevr..Everything was in a package right..hemmm with the 'great' condition of my body...I was so shocked whae I was told that we were going to have a QUIZZZZZZZ!!!!Prof was just smiling and telling us that the quiz was the last chance for us to find another 5 marks for the subject. What? 5 marks..?haaaaa this was something great!When I looked at the questions, I was just laughing and telling myself, hey dude you're dead!hahahahahaha Still, I forced my brain to recall all the acronyms and the worst part was recalling The Merril's Principle. Honestly, I have not been reading the class notes in the muced. Good!!! A lesson for me...

• Be prepared all the time!
• Be diligently reading all the notes!
• Be relax when you are given a SUPRISED test!
• Be COOL!
• Act as if you know all the facts...then it would be easier for you to go through all the questions!

Coming back to the self reflection(should I put it that way?) hemmm ya...we have come to the end of the course. It seems that many things that I learn throughout this course. Developing the SOFT SKILLS, developing the skills in dealing with the soft wares and the most important thing is the good job done by the prof and the tutors. A big thank you for being a great job!

THE REAL DAY!!!

19 September...It was one of the greatest day in my life within these four years of studying... The presentation of the IWB projects from all the groups!! I was fascinated and started to enjoy the excitement when the first person, Teoh presented her project..It was a good job..I was wandering how much efforts had been put by her in producing the lesson. Emmm...I was just sitting at the back and started to crack my poor brains to think of what is necessary and unnecessary in producing a high quality standard or activities which integrate the use of IWB. Maybe I shall list them as below based on the comments given after each presentation.

' the necessary ones':-

1. suitable fonts size and colours
2. specific target group
3. appropriate pictures
4. the instructions of the activities
5. the use of authentic materials
6. the originality of ideas
7. the perfect choice of subject matter of the activities
8. bla bla and bla........

' the unnecessary ones':-

1. 'copy' the available ready materials in the market(internet I guess)
2. too many activities to be completed at one go ( perhaps students will get exhausted physically and mentally)
3. too much things in one slide (which made my eyes emmmm...I should not mention it)

YES...A big round of applause to all my coursemates..You guys really can make money after this..

Back to real business...What did I learn?Emmm there are many things that I learn from my mates' projects. I started to realize where MY CREATIVITY level stands. There are a lot of things which never come across to my mind. Thus, I take this opprtunity to learn something new and try to be more creative in preparing my activities for the young learners. A good thing when we have this kind of strategy I mean, having a presentation of the projects, we open the space to the others to voice out their opinion regarding the usefulness and the not so good comments of the activities presented. This is an avenue to let anyone like me to begin to reflect and improve the skill in dealing with the soft ware. So, in future, we can produce a high standard activities using the particular soft ware.

A SONG FOR MY BELOVED DADDY

"Perfect"

Hey dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?

And do you think

I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?

But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't pretend thatI'm alright

And you can't change me'

Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be my hero?

All the days you spent with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't stand another fight

And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change

the things that you said

Nothing's gonna make this right again

Please don't turn your back

I can't believe it's hard

Just to talk to you

But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I learn from my mistakes...I know what should I do...I realize how to be a good daughter..I just want to do the best for you dad...And I will always do my best in everything...No worries..I will never hurt you...I just want to be 'THE PERFECT PRINCESS OF YOURS'....

A SPECIAL DEDICATION FOR SOMEONE...

I see your smile

I know your mind

No words need be said

I understand.
Focused on each other

We listen and we care

Laughter ripples like water

Together, we are.
Others are here, yes,

And we value them, yes,

But a special bond remains,

A line between us two.
Each friendship is special

Each is unique

And so is ours

We know.
And then time begins to rolland rear

it’s ugly head

Change begins

Now a little less than before.
Slowly, surely,

Not knowing why

Faster, stronger, without care

Our world shifts and shimmers and splits.
Shattered shards cascade down

Spurred by angry, lashing words

Contorted faces, stone deaf ears

Outside the whirlwind,

We die inside.
The scars run deep

Jagged clefts in our souls

We have suceeded in hurting

And hurt ourselves.
So you move on

And I remain

We keep on living

Turn our faces apart.
Now

I glance across

At you from outside

Shaded eyes dry with tearsNew friends, new life.
Laughter, smiling (clenched teeth)

The flippant toss of the head

The enclosure surrounds youI cannot come near.
From behind my glass window

I know more than those withinI see the hurt in your eyes

I know the pain in your smile

I have been there before - I love you

Why do you pretend?
I hate to see your pain

And I cry inside

Tears deep within my soul

I cannot help you anymore.
What we had once

We can never have again.
The scars run deep,

But I still care.
You were my friend.

A poem that reminds me to someone who is closed to my heart.....
