It is me again!

Tonight at about ten thirty, will be leaving for Perth.

I will be bringing 26 pupils to Perth. It is a trip that promises
lots of fun.

I had packed my bags to the brim with lots of first aid stuff...
Ironed Adam's clothes and Shaheed's uniform.

I am in between cleaning the house and getting ready.

I have to go now! Will write soon about Perth!

Hi there!!

The examinations are finally over for me.

That's a big weight off my small shoulders.
Managed to answer the questions:)
Happy that what I studied is being tested.

Going to spend the next few days shopping... eating and
catching up on lost sleep!

Down with bad flu. Going to see the doctor and get some
medication.

Life is great... after the examinations.

Chiao!

noor written at 5:22 PM * any comment? Today, is the last day of the examinations.

I have woken up slightly earlier to prepare myself for
the examination. Get the books ready, files and stationery.

I am nervous as well as excited. Nervous for the exam...
The paper that I will be sitting for is Language Testing.
This particular lecturer is quite fond of setting difficult
questions. Have not idea what he would test us.

What I know is...
There will be a total of 4 questions.
Section A : One question on testing of receptive and another question on testing of
productive skills.

Section B : One question on Item Analysis and one question on Alternative Assessment

I have read and studied for the examinations. I am just worried I cannot answer the
question...


Well... let's look on the bright side of life... It is the last paper. As of 12noon today...
I will be free as a bird. I will go shopping, trim my brows and maybe cut my hair.
I am so looking forward to it. Have not been shopping for the last two months.... so sad.

It is a time of awakening and shopping and more shopping.

All the best to me today! May the force be with me!
Chiao

Today marks the end of 5 examinations that I have to sit for.

The feeling is euphoric. Imagine having to sit through 3 examinations in a week!
That's something.

I am only left with Language Testing exams on Wednesday.
On Monday, is my Media Assignment presentation.

I am down with flu today, supposed to meet Christine to do the assignment(Language Testing). I did not go. I still have to do the assignment at my own time and pace. Resting in
between.

I am waiting for the other laptop to be ready, meanwhile I am writing on the blog.
I have to go now or else... I won't be able to finish the assignment and study for my exams.

Chiao!

I am half-way through the examinations.
Preparing for another examination this Friday.

At the same time, trying to finish my media assignment
which is due on Thursday. How will I manage?
I don't really know. What I know is to count my blessings
and give my best.

I am half-way through the media assignment. I should finish latest
by tomorrow morning. After that I will study for Language Methodology.

Don't have a clue on what to do and study for Methodology. I guess... have to
read all the approaches to the four skills. Hope for the best and try to be compose.

Actually the Curriculum examinations, really taught me alot. As a result of that,
I am better able to manage my time for the exam.

At this point of time, I think I would like to thank all my friends from Singapore
who is doing the Post-Graduate In Applied Linguistics, people like.. Bee Ling, Geetha,
Christine, Sarah and Irene. You have beeen a great bunch!

By the way, to the Graduating Class of 2007 this year...
I wish you all the best. I am sorry that I won't be able to make it
for your graduation tomorrow. I wish all of you all the best for the
future and God Bless You!

I have to go now! Will try to write soon!

Hi all!

I guess all of you might have guessed it right.
I am currently very busy preparing for my
examinations.

I have six papers to sit for. I have done 2 and have
four to go. The examination dates are very close.
I have 3 papers to sit for this week. I had one on Monday, will
be sitting for one in Wednesday and one more on Friday.

I have to be frank ... it is very stressful. When it gets to me... I just tell myself
that the end is near. Just stay focus and everything will be alright.

On top of that I have to complete two written assignments to be handed in
next week. How will I do it? I think I have to stay positive.

I am thankful that my husband is very supportive of what I do.
He has been encouraging me to strive and do well. He has also been
looking into the needs of my son while I focus on my studies.

What really touched me is without fail... before every exam, he will
send me an sms to encourage me. After the exam, he would again call
me to ask how the paper was. It really feels good, knowing that someone
is there to help and spur you on. It would be good though if he can sit for
the paper! Lol.

I have to go now. Have to revise for Language Acquisition tomorrow.
Chiao!!

I submitted 2 assignments today.

A big load off my tiny shoulders.

I have 3 more assignments to complete and 4 exam papers to sit for.

In the midst of doing assignment and bonding time with my friends,
I did not realise that the course is coming to an end. I am only left with
3 more weeks before I am transported back to reality. I have to go back
to school.

Don't get me wrong. School is fine.It is just that going on course is better!
One most important thing that I will miss is reading those academic books.
It is not that I cannot read them when I am in school. It is just that my time
will be spent more on the students than on myself.

After being away for four months... I think my reaction time to issues pertaining
to school has slightly been reduced. I realised that I would ponder for a few
minutes before I am able to react.

I do not know what is in store for me next year... I do look forward to apply what
I have learnt to help my students.

I have a morning class tomorrow with Dr. Cane. Last lesson for the course!
Next week... is a break to study for exams.
