Collaborative Learning Workshop - Hamburger Paragraph

Date: 15th October 2015

Venue: SK Bandar Sunway.

Programme: SECOM - Collaborative Learning Workshop

My group which consist of three teachers - Revaty, Kalaivani and me myself had been appointed as the facilitators for the workshop, together with other 24 teachers from other schools. We had been given a task to come out with an activity to teach writing skills for the upper primary school students. 

After series of discussions, we had decided to come out with an activity named Hamburger Paragraph. Do not get confused. HAM in the Hamburger does not mean pork or pigs related, but instead the word Hamburger originated from the word Hamburg - a place in Germany. 

The activity was so simple and can be carried out easily during the lesson.

MC for Conference

Date: 10 October 2015
Venue: Dewan Konvensyen, UPSI
Programme: 3rd International Postgraduate Conference on Science and Mathematics 2015

On 10th of October 2015, I had been given a task to be a Master of Ceremony with my coursemate Asyikin for the 3rd International Postgraduate Conference on Science and Mathematics 2015. It was my second time to handle the event with English medium. The first time was during my degree years in Maktab but not as big in scale as this event. The event was called SAGa, which stands for Science Academic Gathering 2010 hosted a forum and a debate session on the issue of nuclear energy.

The moment when I received the phone call from Shikin, asking me whether I wanted to become an MC for the event or not, I was quite astonished. For the whole week, I kept on thinking about what was going to happened next. Am I ready for this? Should I just reject the offer? I did not know

It was then, when we met the protocol committee, I was quite relieved. The committee members lead by Dr. Nurul were so helpful and cooperative. We also were glad to meet Cik Reen, our MC sifu who had prepared all the scripts and guided us through the event. It was a very pleasure moment to have been worked with all of them.

Moving Out

I have taken a bold decision in moving out and rent out an apartment at Subang Bestari. Perhaps my mother and other family members can come over and stay once in a while.

The apartment is a brand new which makes it even comfortable to stay in. Hassle free. Everything is completely new. It is like I just bought that house. I am also quite surprised to know that the owner is 2 years younger than me. Quite ashamed to rent a house from a person younger than me. 

Moving over is a tiring process. Yesterday I had done searching for the basic furniture in IKEA with my best buddy. I managed to buy the sofa, dining set, tv bench, wardrobe and coffee table for less than 3k. People might think why are you spending so much for the furniture? Why don't you just buy the cheap furniture at Chinese shop? The answer is simple. I believe that when you chose any furniture, you should choose the best and most durable one. I am the one that really stick to anything when I really love it. So having Ikea furniture is the best  and it will stick with me for perhaps 20 years from now.

On our way to IKEA, we had stopped at the Tesco's clearance sale. I managed to get Sharp LED 39" tv for just RM850. Besides that, I also grabbed a mini HiFi for RM400 only.

May Allah ease in everything that I am doing and blessed my new house. Amiinn.
