Gave pupils 3 test within 4 weeks. Pupils had to sit for English test every week except during the one week holiday. Was disappointed with the pupils results, the first time they sat for the test. Only a handful achieved my target. I decided to give them a second test. The outcome was disastrous than the first. I refused to give up. I gave them another test today. My perserverance paid off. Many did well and improved on their marks. I intend to give them test, weekly to prepare them for the coming examination. I took less than an hour to finish marking. I felt like a miilion dollars after I calculated the pupils marks. They did exceptionally well. I am so proud of them for living up to my expectations. It is truly a euphoric kind of feeling. I hope they will continue to do better. I am giving them another test next Wednesday. Will write soon.....

Phew!!! The long awaited school holiday is here.
What a relief! Although it is only a week, at least
it is a holiday.
I actually do not have a holiday. I take this time
to consolidate the administrative matters for Term 1.
I come to school everyday! I need to finish up my work
before T2 starts.
T2 will be a busy term as the pupils have to sit for
the SA1 examination. Teachers will also be busy setting
papers ro the exam.
Looking forward to Thursday, going to Johor for some
shopping. Nothing great or fantastic. Just a trip across
the causeway and leave all the work and worries of
school for about five hours. It is what we call, Retail Therapy.
Husband is away in Malacca for two days. He is with his students.
He brought a group of students there. He will only be back on Wednesday.
I have some free time for myself.
I am really sleepy now, unable to sleep, as a result cleaned the house.
Will go back to sleep now. Going jogging and then to school later.

It is me again.
I went for an interview on Tuesday, 6 March.
It is for a teaching scholarship.
If I am successful, I will be away for about
3 months and since it is a scholarship, I will be
fully paid. I also have to sign a one year bond.
When I heard of it, I was sceptical, How am I supposed
to juggle teaching and attending the course? I read and
and was glad to read that it is a full time course. I don't
have to do any juggling. I can concentrate on my studies.
I really hope to get the scholarship. I hope to strengthen
my pedagogy of the English Language.
I will awarded an Advanced Diploma in Applied Lingusitcs.
At first, I actually wanted to apply for a Certificate in
Integration of IT into English. However, after thinking
through, I decided on the Advance Diploma.
Raihana and Hasanah was nice enough to get someone to
relief me while I go for my interview. I am thankful for
that.
At the interview, they ask me to talk about what
I have done in school.
I talked about my Forum Page and Blog.
One of the interviewer asked if my pupils enjoy the lesson
that I taught them. I also mentioned about Digital Natives
and Digital Immigrants.
I was also ask about my views on STELLAR.
They also asked about my aspirations to take on
leadership role. I told them that I am certain that
I want to stay in the Teaching track.
After they heard enough, they let me go.
Now that I am reflecting, I don;t know if I had spoken
too fast!!!! Sometimes I do that because I am excited! He!He!
I am still awaiting the outcome of the interview.
Please pray that I get it. I really want to go.
That's all. Got to go.

Hi all!! Thank you for all your tags. I am getting better.
Appetite returning. However, the stomach is still not
too good.
I have been spreading the germs to my friends in school
that they have been sick. Ernie was not around for 2 days
this week and today, Azri is away. The germs are so potent.
I infected alot of people.
By the way, tomorrow is my brother's wedding.
Will have to go to my mum's place tonight to help.
My brother had assigned my husband and I duties.
Adam has to pick him up and bring him to Orchid Country Club
by nine tomorrow. As for me, I am in-charge of the
reception table.
The reception will end at four p.m. I will help mother to pack the things
and go home from there.
Adam has lessons at unisim. He will have to leave earlier.
After lessons, he will have to do the overnight cycling to
celebrate Nan Chiau 50th anneversary. I will only see
him on Sunday! Got to go. Will write soon.
