Years after years...it had been a long time that I left this blog.
Rereading my posts, I realized only one thing.
I AM getting OLDER...
It is amazing to realize how I have grown and the change of my thinking towards things that are happening around me.
Now, no longer a degree student but a master students, more and more works and duties are put on the shoulders. Sometimes the thought of reversing the time back to the olden days would be nice. However, it only happens during day dreaming. When ones wakes, realities one still must face.

Finalizing the research paper....
Finalizing the research paper
Finally....
At last....
I am in the process dealing with the final draft. Doing this research paper is not easy. Editing this research paper is challenging. My supervisor said "you need to look for new information, the info you found are from the year neither me nor you are born."
Getting such a comment is just like a blow on my head!!
Alright, now I have to look for more new information... I got a number of them from the internet. I guess it will not be supportive enough to support my points. Hence, library is my last choice, looking for books and finally found a few that have recent publications. I found that UPM library is useful when a person needs information. It just need time to browse and look into.
Mending this research paper, gives me a heart attack. Imagine that you are correcting the work and the computer restart by itself and you lost all your data in a blink of eyes!! It makes me feel so helpless...
Fortunately, sending in Draft 1 helps a lot.
Just re-type like a typist and add in the information I want.
Doing this assignments cause me to grow more grey hair in a night.

What image represents you as an English teacher?
What image represents me as an English teacher?
I would say
The reason is that firefly provide lights in the dark. although it is small, but it will make changes and help people who trap in darkness. this is the role of an English teacher i guess. guiding the lost and provide information for students.
Besides, firefly is just small, but it does a lot of sacrifices. flourishing in the cool night and fighting to live when it environment changes. the growth of firefly is not easy, it goes through challenges and challenges before it become adult. it is just like teacher who keep building their knowledge from time to time, learning and re-learn. Striving the best for people around it.

One whole week watching movies
"Lecturers won't be around this week!!"
"Hurray!!"
Is it unofficial holidays?
Too bad, it will never happen after the ISO is introduced.
Is it not a waster of time attending classes without lecturers?
They says student-centered. How??
Time is precious, it should pass by instilling knowledge.
Watching MOVIESSS
we are to watch movies for the whole week.
Fortunately, the first movie is "Freedom Writer". it is the first time that the whole class enjoy a movie! everyone is so punctual when it is screened at the second lesson. the students in the movie attracts my attention. the life of the students are so impressive! they are living in fear and nobody care about them, not even in school or home. their only hope is to survive in the violent society. this imply and give an image to me about Malaysian education system. we are having integrated school system. Why we are not in their situation??
Apart from that, this movie highlights that low proficiency students and second language learners can develop, change and improved! it is a matter of time, interest and attentions the students need. thus, it is important that the teacher realises them.
For the second movie,"The History Boys". it is quite boring. i nearly slept off most of the time. in the movie, there is an issue that i seen:
"what the teacher teaches is what the students learn"
in the movie, the students have high language proficiency. they have strong foundation that will enhance their bright future. the teacher plays the role in putting more information for the students. most of the time, teacher gives outline and students are working on it independently. it is a student-centered learning classroom. However, this movie also highlights the selfishness of school in wanting the students to score for the fame of the school. there are a lot of morality values in the movie, it is just too draggy.

Finished draft 1
Working weeks and weeks with all the assignments, finally all are done. Feel satisfied? unfortunately, that is not the feeling i get. the feeling is just indescribable: excited, satisfied, anxiety....
Finally draft one is "out from the oven!" it is time to give it to the supervisor.
On the path of furnishing the assignment, problems and problems need to be encounter and solve, for instance, going through the books, notes, research paper, journals and more. There are so many quotations available! i need to have the skills in organizing this paper. Having footnote in my paper makes it look more organized and precise, it helps to organize the details without mixing up with the main issues of discussion. it is a challenge, everything seems can be put in one point! distinguishing them take time, putting them into sentences is a task, coherent and unity need fluency.
Now, this paper is with the supervisor. heart is pounding waiting for his comments...

Fighthing for time to have Draft 1
Have you ever involve yourself having no time for entertainment. the only joy you get is attending classes and not facing the computer. this is what happening to me. I realise that having a timetable taht i try to follow strictly does not help....
There are just so much work to work on.
Worst still, group members that involve in groupd assignment ignore or should say "hiding" and the assignment is delayed and piled up.
This causes time frame for a work to be done is prolonged.
it is not that i want to critize about people. but having to be friends foryears, is it not we should work together and have things done according to schedule??
Having myself involve into finishing the group work.... it is +-*/ (speechless)
Worst, time is running fast like a blink of eyes. it will soon time to pass up the first draft, supervisor is warning of the due date...
Life in having load of assignments is a suffer.....

Working on draft one
Fortunately, having done the outline, it makes easier for me to put them into paragraphs. Furthermore, having all the sources and critics in hand, it goes quite smooth. In addition, I get a sample of how research paper can be organized from Internet. This research paper provides a helping hand in lowering my anxiety in writing my research paper. Referring to style of writing raise the level of confident while writing. I want to have my first draft to be quite perfect so that further editing can be spare and it will safe up a lot of time. Besides, hoping to strive the best, a number of rephrasing, rewrite, and correcting grammar take up a lot of time. Hence, i would say that this research paper is not an easy task to accomplish, it needs wisdom, patients and knowledge and guides.
