(Fun With English). the program started off with Year 2 pupils singing DO RE MI. as expected they were very excited when it came to singing. afta that, they were formed into 4 groups. Apple, Strawberry, Orange and Kiwi (tolong jgn imported fruits jer?) the first game was "WORD RACE" a word was given to them and they hafta form as many words as possible based on the letters in the given word. ok la.. sumer pon boleh wat walopon baru dajah 2. they were really excited to win the game.

after WORD RACE, they asked for "If you're happy" song. ikot kan jer.. nyanyi lagik budak2 nie.. kitorang pon nyanyi jugak. idzwan n kanesh tolong jgn wat sumer gesture n movement. ngalahkan budak2. baguih tol depa nie.

A Trip to National Park

3 days 2 nites spent at Taman Negara was such a memorable experience. at first, i was not so interested to going there but then since it was made compulsory for our groups, i guess i juz have to. on the first day we went to visit perkampungan orang asli. i was amazed by the villagers who could speak somewhat proper english and bahasa. they did not even go to school to get proper education. they learnt the languages from the tourists. wow! suddenly remember wat i've studied in sociolingustics. then the journey went on... we went to discover gua telinga. i've seen some pics at persona village resort. there were snakes, frogs and lotssssssssa bats! it scared me to death! but fortunately we juz found bats.. no snakes no big frogs. but the cave was really sempit! we hafta crawl and move in many painful ways. and to breath oxygen mixed with the smell of bats' faeces! yew!

day 2 was a longgggggggggg journey. we started walking, climbing from 9am to 3pm! tis jungle trekking was much tougher than BIG. all of us were very exhausted. we only had fried mee for breakfast. tu pon tak cukop. tah pape ntah pengurusan chalet tu. asyik tak cukop jer makanan. even tho' the hiking is tiring but my tiredness was swept away by doing Canopy walk. besh besh! 3 jam canopy walk pon takpe! hehehe. but pity for people who were fear of height. nadia n sarah in particular. :D oh, did i mention we saw "babi hutan" while we were trekking. it was scary and it was quite frustrating as none of us snapped the pic of the animal. takot seyy.. buatnye ia tekejut dek flash camera, disondolnye kite camne?

the last activity for da day was rapid shooting! water splash! it was very exciting and refreshing. thank God my camera was ok even tho' it was heavily splashed by encik hashim. huh!

n da most awaited activity for the program was BBQ! the chicken, sausages and fishes were delicious and beautifully cooked. sumer pon sodap la cume air sarsi tolong jgn tawar sgt.tolong tambah gule sket?

i enjoyed da trip very much although i was not really interested at first. btol la orang kate tak kenal maka tak chenta. dan kini daku jatoh chenta dengan taman negara but been there once was enuff. no 2nd time please.

exhausted

i am really2 exhausted! all of us are too. sejak start SBE ni rase cam banyak GIL keje nak kene setta. dari yang GIL penting sampai la ke yg tak berape nak penting sgt tapi sgt la dianggap penting. tah hape2. besides being very bz with our assignments and tasks here in tis maktab, we are also burdened with burdening tasks from the school. as far as im concerned, during SBE, we are not supposed to relieve classes, do school works that should be done by the school teachers. tapi nak wat camne kan, dah dapat team mate yg sgt baek hati belake, asal cekgu2 tu mintak tolong, jer, orait sepanjang mase, willing sepanjang mase, tak kisah punye. padahal kije IPD, english, dan segale macam subjek lagi melambak2 tak terbuat..

one thing i dun undastand (all of us in fact) y do we hafta do tis n tat for a subject that is not really important (as we are doing TesL). for PAS, we are forced to go taman negara for we hafta pay 150. n the worse is we dun get our allowance yet. takay subjek yg 1 period seminggu tu sampai beriya2 nak p jejauh watpe? tapi biase la kami, nak cakap depan2 tu susah sket la. kang derhaka pulak. siyes tanak p. da lect in charge asked me to find students from other 2 groups to swap la citer nie. tapi sape nak? dah la bayar mahal, pegi tmpt yg tak brape nak best lak tu. dengan elaun yg lom masok lak tu.

next week is school holiday, n our holiday jugak. but am not going back home coz kena p taman negara. moreover, my parents are coming. lagipon keje banyak nak kene setta. esok luse kene p skola lagik. afta holiday pon skola gak. i prefer going to classes la dari duk skola tu. d environment tak brape best sgt la. arap memember kumpulan jer yg cam besh n happening kengkadang.

heh. keje banyak GIL sempat lagik nak berblog. tlg wat keje skang ok...

SBE 1

SCHOOL-BASED EXPERIENCE (SBE)
26/02/2007 (FIRST VISIT)

REFLECTION

Today was our first visit to SK Jalan Selangor 2 for SBE. Since it was on Monday, there was an assembly. It started off with speech from teacher who acted as a chairperson. The first agenda is the recitation of Negaraku, Selangor and the school song. After that was speech from Headmistress Puan Vigneswari. All of us (Idzwan, Kanesh, Suhaila and I) were introduced by her. Our Guru Pembimbing is Puan Vanitha.

After that pupils who are representing the school for Public Speaking competition have to rehearse in front of their friends to make give them ideas of speaking in front of the crowd and to overcome their nervousness. There were three pupils showing their talents performing story-telling to their friends. The stories are “Salji Putih” and “The history of Prophet Ilyas”.

We were brought to teachers’ room and we introduced ourselves to the teachers in the room. Some of them are warm and friendly and few of them could even hardly smile to us.

We were informed by the headmistress that the school will be hosting interschool Public Speaking competition. For this Friday, there will be singing competition but we won’t be there. Just now we were training the pupils to sing “You are my sunshine” with gesture, movement, facial expression and what not.

Most of the pupils are controllable but there are some of them who are quite naughty yet the brightest among their friends. I did my first mistake by smiling and be friendly to pupils. Suhaila told me to be stern and unfriendly but I just could not. Previously I was teaching college students. I was not stern. I was kind and very approachable. However, for this time, I guess I just have to change.

One significant incident that I would like to point out is when they communicate, Indian and Chinese would speak in English. But when it comes to Malay pupils, be it with Chinese or Indian, automatically they will communicate in Bahasa. It is the same phenomenon here.

GUIDANCE IN EDUCATION

EDUCATIONAL STUDIES (IPD)
Date : 13/02/2007
Time : 11.30-13.30
Venue : G102
Topic : Guidance in Education

Today Encik Azizi was not around since he’s got dental problem. At first we thought there would be no class. But then, there came Encik Awab substituting him. Adoi… Class B never gets to rest. It will never be NO class.

The lecturer who replaced our permanent lecturer for that particular subject discussed about topic “Guidance in Education”. Basically this topic is about teachers as guide and counselors to the students. We discussed about the Principles of guidance and counseling.

The first principle is the problematic pupils should be given proper guidance and counseling services, irrespective of race, social status, background, religion or belief. It is against the ethics of teachers to discriminate students.

The second principle is guidance is centered to students and students are entitled to get help. Besides seeking knowledge from the teachers, they also seek teacher’s attention. It is continuous educational process from primary, secondary and university.

Guidance is based on the belief that human being has the ability to develop. It must be based on the ethics of guidance and counseling. Guidance is also a way towards cooperation. It means that teachers must get students to involve in activities.

The next principle is students cannot be forced to seek or obtain guidance or counseling service. From what I understand, they should go and see counselors if they want to. It must be on their initiative.

Guidance is based on behavior, awareness of respect and self esteem of an individual. Guidance aims to prevent rather than to correct. Teachers must be open and accept students as they are.

Counseling is a kind of interaction which occurs between counselors and the pupils based on their close relationship and common belief. Follow up activities should be planned after the process of guidance and counseling services. The primary roles of the class teacher in guidance service are to identify problematic pupils and provide guidance at a preliminary stage (early age).




THE OBJECTIVES OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING

The first objective is to help pupils to understand and inculcate good values, attitude and behavior in accordance with the schools’ culture as well as the norms of the society.

The second objective is to take care of pupil’s needs towards the direction of developing their potential to the optimum.

The third objective is to help pupils to understand their strengths and weaknesses so that they can adapt themselves according to their own ability as well as to select and plan appropriately for their future.

The last objective is to make pupils realize that there are other pupils who are willing to help them to solve their personal or academic problems.


It was a meaningful experience having Encik Awab as our IPD lecturer for one day. even tho' its quite boring and drove us to sleep. All of us (classmates) could not wait to go back early. Gan asked a good question. “Why when it comes to Group A and B, there are no classes to cancelled but when it comes to group C and D, when the lecturer MC or absent for any reason, there’ll be no lecturers replacing them. We were quite worried with the question since we’re afraid Encik Awab would feel abandoned and unneeded.

To Encik Azizi, get well soon.
