A Fire
In the name of Allah, the most merciful and most gracious, I start today's journal entry by praising Allah s.w.t for His mercy bestowed on me and my family. Two days ago , I had a life-threatening experience... you can say that because our neighbour's house, which was a few metres away caught fire.. It was so frightening to see the roof of the house on fire. You couldn't imagine how I felt at that time, I was thinking.. "Is it happening to me?".
I was in my room, browsing the internet, when it happened. At first, I thought that someone was burning the rubbish in their compound. Then I thought to myself that they shouldn't be doing this since it was windy that afternoon and it was real hot. When the air was filled with smoke, I went to the window and peeped outside. I could see fire coming out of the window of my neighbour's house. Then I started searching for my phone and tried to call the fire brigade. I couldn't remember the number. Luckily my 9 year old son told me , it was 994. When i called the number, the man who answered it said that it was Penang's number and I had to call Perlis's number. What....??. I couldn't remember the number given by him so I had to call again to ask for the number.. Finally , I was able to memorize it and gave the centre a call. The man at the other end said that they had sent somebody there.
Well , to make the story short... the fire damaged the house and the adjoining house..it was a semi detached house. We were very lucky because the fire didn't touch our house.
I am really grateful that nothing bad happen to us.. God is gracious.. Thank You Allah....

WHAT MAKES FOR A BETTER LIFE?
What makes for a better life?
STUDENTS... TAKE NOTE OF THIS ... YOU COULD WIN RM100,000 worth of scholarships at Pizza Hut and The Star’s annual NiE contest
Sunday March 14, 2010 EDITED ARTICLE FROM THE STAR - Towards a better life
By SHARON OVINIS and ALYCIA LIM educate@thestar.com.my
At a time when the five C’s (Cars, Credit Cards, Condominium, Cash and Career) are priority to Generation Y, it’s refreshing to hear how four 14-year-olds concocted the five F’s for a better life.
A FEW STUDENTS FROM SMK Damansara Utama vouched that “Family, Food, Fun, Friends and Freedom” were sure tickets to quality living.
“What makes for a better life are face-to-face interactions. Social websites or gaming consoles are merely distractions,” said Syahana, while teammates Vanessa and Ainaa nodded in agreement — wise words indeed, from youngsters who have never known life without the Internet, mobile phones or social networking sites.
Vanessa added: “We should be grateful because we have everything that we need, and I feel it is time we do something to help those who do not even have basic necessities.”
A better life - Such enthusiasm to inspire change marked the start of The Star-Pizza Hut’s annual Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) contest which was launched last Tuesday in the Pizza Hut restaurant outlet in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya.
The contest concept, which requires students to produce a three-page mini magazine, is running for the second year. Last year’s theme “Teenage angst” saw 74,000 students submit entries to win Pizza Hut vouchers.
This year’s contest, jointly sponsored by The Star and Pizza Hut, in cooperation with the Education Ministry, centres on the theme “A better life”.
Students, in teams of four or five, design a three-page mini magazine on an issue that changes their lives for the better. Topics could centre on health, safety, racial integration and environment, among others. Each team will have to conduct research on a selected topic, interview peers and write a feature article.
Students are also encouraged to to be more creative in their presentation by using a myriad of writing forms such as poetry, anecdotes, statistics, or comic strips for a more exciting presentation.
This year’s theme allows plenty of room for creativity. As student N. Nagulan, 12, of SJKT Rri Sungai Buloh puts it: “A better life for me is having a car that can be transformed into a radio.
CONCEPT OF A BETTER LIFE
“Not only will I then have a radio to listen to, the car folds neatly into my pocket as well. Parking will no longer be a problem!”
Teams will shoot a three-minute clip based on their perception of what makes a better life for them. While the team with the best video presentation will receive iPods, participation in the category is optional. Qualification for the merit and the grand prize awards depends solely on the mini magazine category.
Great prizes
While the students came with noble ideas, it was undeniable that a major motivation factor for participating in the competition were the attractive prizes offered.
- trip to Cambodia made the competition all the more enticing.
-iPods offered for the video-clip category
- competition makes learning English a lot of fun because we get to carry out activities we don’t normally do in class.
QSR Brands Bhd managing director Jamaludin Md Ali said: ”I feel that the theme this year is a good platform for students to express their creativity, as it gives them a wider scope to delve into. “Students can produce their magazine about almost anything, from issues about economics to their personal life.” He added that competitions like Mag Inc also made learning English more interesting.
Online registration for schools will open on April 1, and contest templates will be available on April 7 (with reprints on April 28). The contest is limited to schools and is open to primary (Years Four to Six), Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary teams.

Syahana Azhari, Vanessa Chip Shiao Ven, Ainaa Aiman Mohd Mashrique, and Aaron Luke of SMK Damansara Utama vouched that “Family, Food, Fun, Friends and Freedom” were sure tickets to quality living.
Excited: Pupils celebrate with mock-ups of their magazines and pizzas.

After an encouraging submission of 800 entries for the video clip category last year, this part of the contest has been retained for students who want to try their skills at this genre.

Great prizes
While the students came with noble ideas, it was undeniable that a major motivation factor for participating in the competition were the attractive prizes offered.
Sathappan Somasundaram, 12, from SK Sri Hartamas, said that a trip to Cambodia made the competition all the more enticing.
“I really hope to win a trip to Siem Reap so I can see the Angkor Wat, which is one of the wonders of the world,” he said, adding that he would like to learn about the history and culture of Cambodia.
His classmate, Puteri Alisa Alishsal said that the iPods offered for the video-clip category was a good incentive for students to participate in that additional category.
“I also think the competition makes learning English a lot of fun because we get to carry out activities we don’t normally do in class.
“Not only are we learning something new, but are in the running for exciting prizes too!”
New ideas, anyone?
For the second consecutive year, Taylor’s University College is sponsoring the awesome grand prize of pre-university scholarships totalling RM100,000.
Five lucky students can choose to enrol in any one of the following programmes — South Australian Matriculation (SAM), International Canadian Pre-University (ICPU) or Cambridge A-Levels (CAL) — offered by Taylor’s Pre-U studies.
Taylor’s Institutional Marketing vice-president Loy Teik Inn said that it had always been a practice for Taylor’s University College to give scholarships as a means of recognising achievements.
“A competition like this requires a different set of skills.
“Winning a contest like Mag Inc is an accomplishment of a different kind.”
He added that when a scholarship was offered as one of the prizes, it would usually heighten the level of competition among students.
Taylor’s School of Communications dean Josephine Tan is optimistic that the contest would receive an even better response this year.
“The contest theme is an avenue for students to showcase their creativity.
“Since it focuses on aspects that can improve their lives through even the simplest of changes, students would find ample room for expressing their ideas.
“These young minds have many interesting and innovative ideas which we may not have even thought about,” added Tan.
Gracious support
Present to officially launch Mag Inc 2010 was Education Ministry sports director Ee Hong.
In her speech, Ee thanked corporate companies like The Star and Pizza Hut who generously lent their expertise to nation-building efforts.
“Formulate your thoughts and express your observations in ways that can help make this country better as we work towards values and morals that are relevant to our social order and, ultimately, One Malaysia,” she advised students.
QSR Brands Bhd managing director Jamaludin Md Ali said: ”I feel that the theme this year is a good platform for students to express their creativity, as it gives them a wider scope to delve into.
“Students can produce their magazine about almost anything, from issues about economics to their personal life.”
He added that competitions like Mag Inc also made learning English more interesting.
“It is a good avenue for students to brush up on their English language skills.
“It makes the learning process a fun and interactive one.”
Jamaludin said that he was appreciative of the strong support shown by the Education Ministry over the past years.
“I am very grateful for the interest generated by the ministry.
“What we are doing I believe, is just a small contribution to the bigger picture.”
He added that he looked forward to the finals in September, where six shortlisted teams will present their mini magazines to a panel of judges.
Pizza Hut will be spending more than RM1.4mil on Star-NiE pullouts, workshops, incentives and prizes for the contest this year.
Also present at the contest launch was The Star’s managing editor David Yeoh and QSR Brands Bhd (KFC/Pizza Hut Division) director Wong Sooi Kheong.
The Mag Inc 2010 contest workshops are currently running throughout Peninsular Malaysia.
Online registration for schools will open on April 1, and contest templates will be available on April 7 (with reprints on April 28).
The contest is limited to schools and is open to primary (Years Four to Six), Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary teams.

HK SPB 2010 - zon utara
The HK started from Thursday 11.3.2010 to Sunday 14.3.2010. The judges had to judge at least 5 debate competitions. Students competed 5 times. It was quite an interesting experience for me... to judge or watch them compete.. The students were very courageous and had put in a lot of effort in the competition.. It was a really tough competition. It could just be luck (getting a better position than the opponent - the topic was on their side) or because they could think of logical arguments..... Among the topics were :
1) THBT nuclear power is the solution to global warming
2) This house would ban the use of animals in sports
3) This house believes that the media should be blamed for the increase of child abuse cases
4) THBT social networking websites improve our social life
5) This house would ban the use of credit cards.
6) This house would support quotas for women in government positions
7) THBT learning of traditional dance should be compulsory in school
The students (all the participating students in the HK SBP) were quite good in that they were able to come up with definition and arguments that the opposing team could not refute.
Congratulations to them esp SMSTSP debaters...

why study??
well... many students do not see the advantages of studying if they could only imagine what will happen to them 10 years from now, definitely they will want to study.
They need the motivation, they need to think that by only studying or reading only 10 not so thick book, they will get the 10As dreamed by every student.
How to study smart and remember everything? Well ... the tip is PQRST..

2nd day of Ramadhan
Alhamdulillah, today we are on our second day of Ramadhan. We had our sahur at the wee hour of the morning ...before "suboh" around 5.20am. not actually at the wee hour coz it's quite late already. The students are really lucky that the beginning of Ramadhan coincides with the school holiday. At least they can have more freedom... and not stressed... and they can perform the tarawih prayers at night. The prayers end around 10.00pm . On school days , it's quite difficult coz they'll be giving so many reasons for not coming. But since the beginning starts at the same time as school holiday... then it solves lots of problems.

The month of Ramadhan
Fasting is actually the best way to lose weight. If you really follow the "sunnah", definitely you'll see the result in a month.
Fasting is beneficial to us in many ways. One of them being letting our stomach rest for at least 12 hours, without having to process any food. Thinking of it, don't you think that every thing need a rest. We, ourselves, need to rest after working for a hard day work. Our car need to be stopped after being driven for a long period of time. What about our organs. They have been working for a long period , without being able to rest except for many 5 or 6 hours at night , when we sleep. Then when we wake up at about 6 am , it will start working again (the stomach especially.)
One more thing, recently, i've bought a health product -quite expensive - but it is to rejuvenate our system etc etc. I have also had my car serviced for RM152. That has to be done every year. Then i start thinking- We will always service our car, every year , or after a certain period, to make sure that our car is in good shape. But what about our body , with all the organs that works all the time. Have we ever serviced them... the organs.. the body. etc. Rarely.. I would say. A car can be replaced , but our organs...? Very difficult to get a replacement. So i think , it's okay to spend a few hundred ringgit, if not thousands, just to make sure that our organs and body are in good shape.. always and forever... till the day we die... To die.. that cannot be avoided.. coz every living thing will cease to exist one day. So do our best to ensure we live a healthy life till the day we die. ... and.. dont forget... to do good things ... so that we'll be prepared in the hereafter... the day of judgement.. where nobody can help us.. except... 3 things... 1. our good deeds, 2. our children's prayer for us and 3. knowledge that we have taught to others that are being used.
So teachers, feel glad that ur teachers.... and teach them with all our heart... so that our students will get something good from our teaching, and we too..insyaAllah will get something.

Are you really healthy?
I realize that we don't really think about our health. Two days ago I spent around RM152 to have my VIVA serviced. But then i realized that I have spent so much every year to service my car.. but not myself. We, humans, are also like cars.. we have organs as cars have engines.. Our cars will be serviced every year.. but what about our body... It's working every day and night... but we rarely get it serviced. So I was thinking .. why don't we spend part of our salary to have our body serviced, just like our car.. so that it will be in perfect condition.
The question is how... do we do that... Well , today.. to be exact,, yesterday , I've bought a packet of health food product.. which I hope can help me have a healthy life.. a better life in the future..

Pictures :Drama Competition: 1st place;
SIR : participants;
Public Speaking : 1st place.
On 25th July2009, we had the honour of organising the State Level Public Speaking Competition. It was a Saturday, still the turnout was quite good. More than 3o0 students and teachers attended the event. The Form 1 and Form 4 students were given the opportunity to be in the hall and become the spectators. Our representative, Hamdi Ayman was the second participant. He managed to stole the judges' attention in the second section; the impromtu section where he told the audience about his happiest moment. The audience sat silently listening to the description of how he won his swimming competition.. his happiest moment. The description of the movement that he made, the joy he felt,... etc.. etc.. everything was described so smoothly. .. and of course he won. Congratulation , Hamdi. Keep it up to the National Level Competition which will be held in October this year.

Learning English
My purpose of this blog is to help my students improve their English.
So.. how do all of you - non-native speakers can improve your English.
I've been teaching English for many many years, 17 years to be exact, and our Malaysian students have been learning English for many years also.. if they are in Form 5, that means they have learnt it for 11 years, but why can't they master the language?
Well, one main reason , in my opinion , is they never use the language. They just learn it in class , but they don't practise it outside the class, at home, never. Of course , that's the main reason why they could not improve their proficiency.
So today, i would like to suggest to my students to use the language all the time. For Malaysians, maybe it would be difficult because there are no opportunities to use it, even if they do, other people might think negatively of them (thought they are showing off etc... i don't understand this kind of attitude..)
What they can do will be :
1. read materials in English - story books, magazine, newspaper etc
2. write as much as possible - I would suggest that you keep a diary - a journal of your thought or what happened to you.
3. Listen well, especially when you watch movies, try to listen and understand the dialogue.
4. Speak the language - what else are you going to use the language for - except to communicate with others
Good Luck!!!
