akhirnya...

setelah sebulan mengharungi jem yang kadangkala mampu membuatkan aku terlupa sedang berpuasa pada hari itu, hari ini adalah hari terakhir kaki ini dijejakkan di IPGM Kampus Bahasa Melayu sebagai peserta kursus bestari ambilan 2, 2009.

adakalanya malas rasanya nak panjat 4 tingkat ke makmal bestari 2, adakalanya memang tak disentuh langsung cd2 modul yang dibekalkan, adakalanya tak tertumpu perhatian pada butir bicara pensyarah di depan...namun yang pasti, kenangan tercipta bersama rakan2 kursus akan diingati.

buat rakan2...

shira, terima kasih kerana menumpangkan aku saban hari pergi dan balik... kak norma yang banyak membantu dalam bersama menghabiskan tugasan PBL, akmal n CIKGU shahrizan yang sudi berkongsi ilmu dan kepakaran, abg rahadi, nordin, fakhruddin, jonid, dan nazri-nazri yang tak jemu2 menceriakan kelas dengan gelagat dan karenah mereka, kak raihan dan oya yang bertungkus lumus menyiapkan buku program yang menarik, kak yati yang sering membantu diri ini agar mengingati Allah, kak bella yang menggamatkan kelas dengan ketawa uniknya, eton yang tak dapat dipisahkan dengan ferrari merahnya, hidayah dan faten yang tak pernah berenggang, kak siti fatimah yang pendiam, hanisah yang paling muda diantara semua,dan yang paling utama..abg zul selaku monitor yang berkaliber, insan yang paling banyak "berusaha" untuk rakan sekelas ini. dan tak lupa, en.yusoff, penyelaras kursus bestari ambilan 2 merangkap pensyarah dan pengganti pensyarah yang tak dapat hadir ke kelas. terima kasih banyak2 en. yusoff, moga panjang umur, dapat jumpa lagi..

in the end, memang tak rugi attend kursus macam ni sebab ternyatalah kitainimemangditakdirkan untukbelajarseumur hidup. sungguhpun at one point we have learnt about it, tapi pasti akan ada perkara baru yang dipelajari dari perkara yang sama.

sheesh... who am i kidding... it's not even a day and i'm already missing them.

rhymes of confusion

i found this at http://www.virtualfriends.net/. read on and tell me your opinion.. especially TESL Girls.

ONLY THE ENGLISH COULD HAVE INVENTED THIS LANGUAGE

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.

One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,

Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Then shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,

And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,

And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,

But though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,

But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;

neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England .

We take English for granted,

but if we explore its paradoxes,

we find that quicksand can work slowly,

boxing rings are square,

and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,

grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.

We have noses that run and feet that smell.

We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.

And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,

while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down,

in which you fill in a form by filling it out,

and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

AND IF PEOPLE FROM POLAND ARE CALLED POLES THEN PEOPLE FROM HOLLAND SHOULD BE HOLES AND THE GERMANS, GERMS

If you can read this, you have a strange mind too.

if only

dis cos is supposed to be as "smart" as its name but alas, other than a handful of them, the rest of the lects always asked us to read, copy or just do whatever we understood from the modules. many times we -i used "we" as i was not the only one who feel this way- do our own work while the lects at the front talked mumble-jumble-nonstop to their heart content.

i had to develop a PBL for dis cos... like the one i did at maktab during my final sem. have to present it to the lects according to my subject. lost mine to the demise of the laptop - miss u much, IBM touchpad- if only i still had it....

after three weeks i'm following dis cos, i found out that at some moments back in iium and maktab i had already learned many same things as they taught here. sheeshh..... if only i paid attention, than dis cos will be a piece of cake to me.

new layout

i'm trying new layouts for my blog but unfortunately i still haven't found "the one" i truly like. the one i'm currently using was taken from BlogSkins and at this moment i'm trying to refitting the layout size so it will look full on the screen. sadly to say, i've already fogotten all the coding to get this done. now i'm doing it on hunch and hope it will work.
