As we celebrate time with our loved ones and know that life or let me say the year is coming to an end.. let us recall and cherish each moment time that we have spend. Well life as in this video clips goes is that comes once and you may never turn back the clock to what was yesterday. So enjoy life to the fullest more so when some predicted that 2012 is going to be the end of the world..

Well so much for that, but then anything can happen with lots of economic are in dire stressed up and inflation is sky high and lots of people are out of a job yet sometimes we need to wonder and ponder that things will happen for a reason and only known to the Big man up there if it is good or bad.

Some of you might have had a bad year while others might have had a good year and others might have had a average year but what is important is the fact that you are thankful for all that you have experience and gained and lost and achieved ..

So, the nest big question would be.. what is your new year resolution ? Well i for one really do not subscribe to this sort of resolution unless i am a chain smoker and would like to stop after being told off by my doctor which is nothing like that in my case. I am just not into resolution..However I would like to meet new people and gain lots of experiences and of course travel..
This year did not do much traveling as my other half is not into that sort of things.. Hoping to change that when the time comes around..again ...

On a personal note.. this year i gain lots of experiences in learning about people and how people react to situation and also how they address a certain situation in which are "forcefully" placed. I should say this that people are a unique species. They prefer to flock together and love to be together. Sometime I would laugh in silent just watching their reaction while other times I would comment where necessary.

Life is always changing and you will always change with it. You will change and what experiences you have will change you to be a better person or will enrich your boring life.. God knows where and what you need and when you need it.. He is going to give you just what you need when you need it at the right time.. no sooner no later.. that is why they say that God works in mysterious ways and nobody can comprehend his work.. Imagine if someone could comprehend his work.. that would be like disaster in the making :)

Well people .. while we enjoy the small things that we are grateful for, let is not forget the less fortunate and the lonely people in this world.. if you cannot do anything for them in term of money or contribution you could at least sent out a silent prayer for the less fortunate and let the cosmos take it to them..


Leaving you with this thought, " Everyone you meet may it be  for a minute or a lifetime, came into your life to impart a lesson to enrich your life.. learn the lesson well  and never forget that lesson"


Have a wonderful new YEAR 2012 AND let is be a productive one for all !

SHE

someone beat me to this ... sometimes someone comes into your life when it is too late and there is nothing you can do about it as the timing the person comes is not right for both of you.. you only can say this SHE..

Well just want to share with my friends this lovely song which was introduced to me by a close friend which I shall cherish until the last day of my life on this earth..

Enjoy and tell the person you love those word they crave to hear before it is too late for both of you and life is about taking risk and enjoying it to the fullest... Carpe Diem

I learned .....

lots of time, lot of issue that preventing me from blogging this couple of weeks and today i told myself that i need to do it thus this entry.

Well i was given an opportunity to meet teachers from other districts in Perak for a course conducted by me and my friends. Really exciting and awesome journey and a good learning experience. I have learned from so so many people that i have encountered in my life but this couple of weeks are really learning and learning. I learn from the new. I learn from the matured and experience, I learn from the caretaker. I learn from people who are willing to share with me.
People tend to confide in me their problems and I like that since I learn from their experience. Although we are in the same line- Teaching that is, but some experience which I have never thought of before were share with me. Thus making my life more enrich and purposeful.
Some of the things that I have learned are really bad. I mean really would be very shameful yet I learn because in life we need to be able to choose what is good and what is bad in our life.
Life is not going to tell u, alright this is bad and this is the good. Bad and good is part and parcel of life just like yin and yan as the Chinese believe. Therefore it is up to us to know the difference. A good up bringing helps us when we want to make a choice in life. Sometimes we need to make bad choices in order to learn it the hard way and manner which makes our life difficult but we are happy.
Back to my adventures which are still going on, I learn that :
1) People come into your life for a reason and you can scratch your head high and low to ponder why but will never get the answer. They come into your life because God send them to teach you and compare your life with theirs. When you think that your life is boring and not interesting then you meet someone who is facing something even worse, only then you realize and appreciate what life has to offer.
2) Things happen for a reason - that no matter small the things that is in your life, it happen at the precise moment and not one moment sooner or later. Right on the dot as the saying goes.We might not be able to comprehend the change at that time but the more we ponder over the issue the more we will realize that it is for our betterment in the long run. Human nature, never want to change more so  when in their comfort zone but change for the betterment is good.
3) Pray with a sincere heart. Be precise on what you want from God. Let me cite an example and this might amuse some, if you are asking for a new camera from God, well you should be precise with the model and the brand that you want and hopefully if you have been good you might get in somehow and in some form. As I believe God has to change also and cater for our ever so demanding needs. I mean if you get a Canon Camera but was eying a Nikon camera then you cannot blame God for the mistake but yourself. Hilarious right :)
4) If you plan something so rigidly and it does not work in the manner that you want it to work, never mind and do not be stressful about it. As the sayings goes " man can plan but only God decides if the plan should be executed or not " Well that is why before doing, just for a minute take a minute to pray!
5) Decide that love has a level of its own. Love does not mean it should be all that mushy mushy stuff but it can be on a different scale and level. One must not think that love is categorized into the normal stuff of man and woman, siblings and parents and family which is the normal thing now. Love does not necessary mean physical contact, does it ? I thought so when i was much younger and how naive of me back then. Now i have come to realize that love has stages in life. Love does not mean you must see that person day in day out. Love also means that person could be hundred of miles away from you yet you he or she is in your thought and mind. Remember when you sneeze and someone says that your loved ones is thinking of you, maybe there is some reality to that thinking. Love can come and go and change and be routine but i feel love should be sustain the test of time and tested.
6) Trust is important in any sort of relationship in any form may it be in a family, friends or relatives. Once the trust is betrayed then there is nothing left in the relationship. Trust to undertake a task is very important in our daily lives! Only with trust earned are respected in our society now days.
7) Happiness is a state of mind. I learn i can frown as much as i want but nobody is going to help me to bring happiness but myself. I can choose to be happy or miserable and the choice is within me. If i choose to be happy then i generate happy vibes which can be detected by others and therefore create a happy atmosphere and likewise. This is why children and animals can detect our vibes since they are more sensitive than us. Children know when a parents has had a bad day at work and would offer a hug or so. Well just choose the happiness that you want to be and if you choose to be sad and grumpy and miserable and full of complaints then you should also be prepared to justify your choice.
8)Be thankful for what you have in life.. What ever you have is what you are meant to have. Not everyone have the comfort of driving JOY but at least you have a mode of transport to take you from one place to another. Some people do not even have one and I have seen this for real. I am pampered but my trip to India did bring a change in me that life is no what it seems. We should not take things for granted. I never had psp or vacation overseas but then i reflect back i got to spend time with my both  late grandfathers which is priceless!

I can go on and on but i think that is a lot for you to digest for today!

Take care and have a great week ahead. Live life to the fullest and love comes from anyone !

Useful websites after the UPSR..

Well since UPSR the first public exams for pupils is just over, i have compiled some useful websites which can be used by teachers to make "life after upsr" more interesting. Feel free to comment if they were useful and have a wonderful time teaching the year  6 pupils without the tension :)

1) www.spellingcity.com - Website where pupils can practice their spelling . Helping them to improve their spelling and maybe win in the Spelling Bee competition :)

2) www.starfall.com - Helps to improve their reading skills. I really enjoy the chinese fables :)

3) www.PECentral.com - After learning in the classroom, it is about time the pupils are "released" into the field where they can run and move about, so hit the field!

4) www.Scholastic.com - would not be fair if I did not include anything for the teachers so teachers this is especially for U - lesson plans and other great stuff.. check it out
 

5)http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/CrissCrossSetupForm.asp  - Well this is one of my favorite which help the pupils to learn English thus having fun at the same time.

Teachers are............

inspiration teachers

Sometimes comes a time when whatever you are doing it not right and that what ever you have done is not appreciated by others remember this teachers :
1) You are an engineer of society - This I say because you are the changing force in a society. You can help to make or break a society.
2) You are the force behind the success of a pupil. No matter what the pupil says after achieving their favorable results, the know deep down you were the one who sat and sweated with them during the early days.
3) Even if society does not appreciates you and looks down on your work and effort, remember that you have a contract with God to produce good pupils under what ever circumstances.
4) Even if there are so many things lacking as in infrastructure and other means, you still walk on head high marching to obtain and give your best. You will always improvise and do with whatever you have.
5) Teachers inspire the mind - When pupils are at a very tender age, they look upon their teachers as guidance and support thus teachers inspire the pupils to greater heights.
6) Teachers are moulders. Their job is to mold the brain and the thinking of the child. They motivate, cry and even inspire the children under their care to be someone in society.
7) Teachers care- Teachers are not meant to just teach in a school but their role has evolved over the years and now teachers are just facilitators, they just guide the pupils.
8) Teachers bring out the best out of their pupils. Never do teachers downgrade or humiliate their pupils but they try their level best to bring the greatness of each pupil under their care.
9) Teachers are not bias- Teachers do not see gender or race when teaching. For them a pupil is a pupil no matter which  background that they have come from, rich or poor they treat each pupil equally.
10) Teachers are fair- Teachers are fair to all their pupils and treat them equally when administration their lesson in the classroom. They only care at embarking whatever knowledge they have to their children to their best ability.

ROOTS..

Yesterday being a saturday, I had to attended a course conducted and organized by the department. Well i was thinking to myself that it should be some " fine tune" the teachers in order to share some important last minute tips for the coming public exam. Well oh boy was i wrong about the whole thing. The sharing of the course was about our roots.The speaker was a Mr. Sam who is the author of English Essential and a great speaker as well as motivator.
At first I had my own doubts about the whole programmer but this was prove to me wrong by Mr Sam. Well he was really good at sharing his thoughts and experiences. He manage to keep me awake for the whole three hour slot with various activities. I really liked when he asked thought provoking question which was addressed to the audience. I mean here is a man who has " seen it all and done it all" eager to share his experiences in life with all. Another part of his presentation which i felt was really good was that, he manage to reveal to us that the indians were very capable lot of people through his facts and figures. He also said that in his presentation how history and ancient civilization from india were involved in creating so many things which we are using now in the present time.
He highlighted the men behind the successful stories and how wonderful was his manner in which he "focused" on them. That really inspired me . He took past famous indians and present day indians and reminded us of their contribution towards the world and also Malaysia.
It was a remarkable experience and i am really thankful to have attended this course and hope to get his help to inspire my pupils in the future.
Well sometimes people who enter in your life do so for a reason, to teach you sometime and to embark their knowledge to you or just to inspire you further,.well Mr. Sam you really did a good job !
inspire someone today !

modern day robbers

Well it all begins on the dawn of Sunday morning and it has been going on since some time now. Well the residents are getting upset and I hope that they are not going to take the law in their own hands.
Well the most recent incident happen a couple of weeks back and this was related to me by a friend.

The uncle whose house was about to me be robbed woke up and he heard that someone was trying to break open the window. Seeing the robber had a crash helmet on he shouted at the robber " hei, apa lu mahu? The robber replied " saya mahu pecah rumah" Hearing this the uncle flashed his torchlight unto the robbers eyes and gave a signal to his daughter to trigger the alarm. When the alarm started making noise the robber shouted at the uncle " Cepat, kasi tutup itu alarm." Do you think that the uncle will listen to the robber who is about to robber him of his hard earn money. Hearing the alarm going off which caused a lot of noise and making the neighbour dashing out of their respective houses in aid of their friend. The robber fled the scene but out of frustration he smashed a iron rod at the panel of window at the entrance of the house.
Well this incident has caused alarm at the neighbourhood. When the police arrived, they just did their normal inspection of the place and I was told that 3 robbers were held in the same nite at other places.

Well what are the police doing about the increase of crime rates in the city ? If they cannot patrol in cars then they should pedal on bikes at nite when it is cold. I hope that the police force will take look into the matter before the people take things in their own hands and only God can help the robbers if that should happen !

Managers and Teachers

Well it really has been sometime since I blogged and that is due to the fact that I have been getting adjusted to the new environment which I have been placed now. I have been send to another school after being in the same school for the past 7 years. Well I was shocked at first and thought maybe that someone is out to get me ! But then now I think that it is a blessing in disguise since I think that my "talent" is need more in the new school compare to my previous school.
My uncle did tell me that " Do not get too attach to anything in this world" How true are his words as I had got too attach to the old school that it was at first having some problems at getting adjusted to the new place. I mean i was like a lost kitten at the new school as I had to start to make new friends and learn the new place. Bear in mind this did not effect my teaching but rather enhance my teaching.
Sometimes change is good for everyone and being in the changes that I have encountered first hand, well i must admit it is not easily. Well just have a positive mindset over things and happenings. I am sure God has something good in store for me.
The new school is good so far just i am sad that the infrastructure is not as par as as some other schools in Ipoh. It is located in the town of small town but the building and the building is just not so satisfactory. I mean the school does not have a computer lab, science lab and also a school field. This is a school which was set up in 1953, that is what i have been told. I am sad that this previous school head have not taken the initiative to bring some positive change to the school. Sad really sad that if you are in the position to do some changes for the betterment of your pupils but you rather do nothing at all and just kill time until you retire! What sort of respect do you get from the present teachers?
Well a school needs to have a good manager and the Assistance should be good managers as well. A good manager will make changes for the school in this context. A school should be run like a company where the board of directors are the Headmaster and its Assistance and the shareholders are the teachers and the members of the PIBG,but sad to say not many schools are run in that manner. Therefore I can conclude that a school will break or make will depend on a good manager or a good head. A good head needs to take bold steps to run the school and think of gaining profits. Profits here meaning performance of the pupils. It also need to take steps to gain the trust of the public the wonderful facilities which it can provide. It not a matter of who take the step to get the ball rolling but it is crucial that whatever step is taken is for the benefit of the pupils. The head should always think " what if my son or daughter was in the school with no field or computer lab? He should place himself in the situation and hopefully some empathy will make him or her change. Attitude should be changed here.
Imagine the poor pupils looking through the fence at the other side - a fine trimmed school field and wishing that if only my school had a school field too.... With the 1m1s, I hope and pray that the relevant authorities will take heed of the situation and do some drastic changes! What the school need is a new place which is conducive learning environment. It is just too hot in the afternoon for learning to place. I sometimes feel for the pupils who have studies there before and what has happen to them. Sometimes it is not important for just producing As but also having a good learning environment.
Well I have the present head will change the building as soon as possible and relevant government bodies should be roped into making a change. A school does not see the race of the pupils studying in that school but it sees the achievement that it can offer to society.!

OWC

When I first read the statement " serve your husbands like first class pros" I was like dumbfounded. I had to pinch myself to realize that what I was reading was any true or was i just dreaming. I do not have any hidden agenda for this blog and entry but I think that that statement is just so so barbaric. Yes i am sorry to use this word but I think that it is my blog and i am entitled to use what word that I find fit to the situation. I just do not understand the state of mind the person was when she uttered those words in public only to be made such a controversial issue. Maybe the statement was made in order to get "cheap publicity" in a manner of speaking. I really do not know but it has really made its point in the local as well as international media.
I hope that the front liner who are able to make statements in the public should learn about "cause and effect" before making such statements. Do not just open your mouth to make noise but open your mouth to make statements which are well prepared and know the consequences of those statements.
Well in our society where Equality is norm and the motion between between sexes is becoming less and less but with this statement, i am amazed  !
I am not saying what was said to be wrong or right but it should not be done in such a manner. If you want to make such a statement then you should also learn to "sweet coat " it and  should refined the words used !

Oh well what is said cannot be undone, the damage has been done. Just be more "refine" when making more remarks and learn of the consequences of such statements.

I am a firm believer to follow what my late grandpa use to say " Before you want to say anything, you should first think about it, then weight about the effect and once you are satisfy that it will not cost any damage, only then you should utter any words". That is so much true as there have been many times in our lives when in anger or frustration we have said something and those words have hurt someone close to us. So remember this before opening your mouth next time. Another wise saying which i like and would like to share here is that " If you do not have anything nice to say, then just shut the F*** Up " But then that could be interpreted as being arrogant !

Being as a public figure, one must learn the proper manner when addressing the situation and must also know what to say, when to say what and above all when to say nothing because when you say nothing at all, your body movement also doing the "talking" for u. I am sure you know what i am talking about " Lie to me " :D

cheap holiday

Well since it is the season for holidays and everyone is on a holiday i am it is timely that i blog about it as well. Well i just got back from a short trip locally and i had some interesting points or maybe to reinforce the point which many have already know it.
When finding for a place to stay :
Many will want to stake a place which is well establish and has a well known but does it really provided a value for money place to stay. After all you are half the time out of the room and therefore u just need a place to shut the eye and a good shower. Beside that you will most probably would not be able to sleep on the first nite as it is not your actual home room and the comfort of your own bed. Well so  find  a place which has good reviews and do your homework, ask your friends around and some might suggest this and that but at the end of the day use your own head and your know expenses.Somehow I also got a suggestion from a friend and read the review on the net about the place and i got a good deal. The place for once was new and clean and had the basic things. However the place threw in dinner as a good bait for its customer, as normally you only get bed and breakfast but this was such a good deal.
Eat breakfast like a KING : Well since you have paid for the room and get free breakfast, why aren't you eating it like you are suppose to eat. Well you should know that with an empty stomach you will not be able to see much and thinking of that growling stomach each time. So might as well eat to your heart's content and enjoy your meal. Just make sure that what you have eaten can last you till late in the afternoon.

Next point is always have a tupperware ready with u as you can always get boiled water from the hotel kitchen and this manner you are able to save some money buying mineral water or drinks but use that money to get some nice things for you to remember.

Another pointer is that always take along sufficient clothing and if you do not have or run out of T-shirts, just get some from the place where you visiting. Never over pack your bag and it should be only half full with your basic clothing. If your are going to a place with for two weeks, might as well as take along disposable underwear and panties. just wear and throw. :) Well just need to know where and which trip you need to bring and where you do not need to bring along.

Another pointer is that you must always activate your credit cards from where your card has been issued. I still remember when i was at VASA museum during my first trip oversea to Sweden and wanted to pay with my credit card but it was not working. Luckily I had sufficient cash with me to get the purchase but i will never forget the lesson learned the hard way. So make sure your credit card and your ATM are activated and can be used overseas.

Another pointer which i must include here is that, you must always have a few currency and compare which is giving you a better deal. Yeah most probably the US might be the most popular currency but that does not really mean it gets you the best deal with the local currency. So might as well get some US, some pounds and some other currencies which when your exchange you will be able to get the best deal. Compare and ask before your exchange as it is your hard earned money which you are changing so might as well get the best deal.

Well another pointer which is crucial that i share is that MINDSET. When you are on a holiday be bold and adventures to venture out to something different that the norm. I mean you should not be afraid to try out something new to eat or do something different for a change just to experience it. Only by experimenting new things will you know and learn about new things that you have read before and just wanted to try but never got a chance to do it. So go for a wonderful holiday and enjoy yourself to the maximum. Life it too short to regret when your old and ponder to yourself and say... how i wish i did that... now is the time... just go and do it.....have a wonderful and memorable holiday my friends.

Struggle

It really has been some time since i blogged in here. So much has happen since that and i really do not know where to begin. Well i had been having some problems with the net and its service providers which has been sorted out nicely.
Well i have been placed in an very difficult situation by God who now is smiling from above and seeing how do i cope with with that situation. Well I welcome any sort of situation which is good as i will be able to gain experience in life. Well although I am tired both physically and mentally as well being drain emotionally, I still put on a false smile and move on. Life could have been worst.
What ever happen, happens for a reason and soon or later everything is going to be alright-  that is a simple policy which is good to apply to our daily lives.
So the struggle of each day with constant workload and relationship does take a toil over my body and mind. I have not had a good nite sleep for sometime now. Well just hoping that things will change for the better and that God will shower me with some of his blessings and grace.

So my friends and relatives who know what is going on with me, thanks for the support and to those who are eager to find out what i am going on, do not need to be, just wish me a silent prayer and a good positive wishful thinking.

Chance

While listen to songs from Tum Mile, i am writing this blog. Yeah I have not had an entry into this blog for sometime now. Lots of things have happen in my life now. As i recall the experience that I have shared are just so remarkable.
I just did not know that how to explain when you are given a second chance, when prayers and all those shed tears when praying finally answered. Well sometimes you really have to go through hell in order to meet or experience life. When life is just so smooth sailing then the world is taken for granted, things become routine. But heartache and recovery are part and parcel of life which you have have not gone through in life, means that you have not had your share of spies in life :P

 Some things we leave it to GOD to decide, when he Decide we just accept it !
Sometimes we must let faith and nature takes it own course in life, no point crying over anything or no point thinking of the past. Let the past be a lesson, let life be inspired and learned and above enjoyed!
Who does not make mistakes but the person who never learn from them is a bigger fool than the person who keep on repeating them.

Well i will try to update and keep blogging as well as enjoy life and my second chance in life, thank you God for giving me a second chance in life and i promise to experience life to the fullest and enjoy what ever you have blessed me with !

Thank you God, my good friend and my silent listener!

life long learning ...to do or not to do

Well I have been neglecting this blog for sometime now since so much has happen in the past week. Although it was the school holidays but towards the end of the break did I manage to leave Ipoh to somewhere outstation. Well that was due to some not so pleasant circumstances.

Today I had this thought running in my head all day - to do or not to do. If you are not close to me, then you might consider if I am talking or thinking of proposing to that charming lady who I have been dating on and off. Well that could be one aspect of it, but I am afraid that is not the case here. Too bad :)

The case it that I am thinking of starting on something new and adventures. I know that for every motion to begin we need to start with a tiny step, well that is what I have been thinking. I have come to a position where I do not longer see my work as interesting as it was when the first I started out to be, let's just say that it has lost its glory days. I have run the mild of working with people who are not only incompetent in their duties but dare not move from their place due to losing face. I am tired of doing all the "donkey's work" while other get the credit for it. I am tired of being  the person who  "gets the job done " but the rewards and the benefits are given to others. I am tired of people in positions who are just "warming seats" just because of their "unlces and anuties" but do not know and are not "leaders" in the team. I am tired of players who are not team players but prefer to let others do the work and they wait for the glory.

Well maybe I have been too long, 10 years is just too long to be in a position.
Well the choice is mine and the decision is mine. What ever I decide to to will change my life forever and there will be no turning back once it starts.
Dear God, please give me the strength to make to ideal decision and give the wisdom that whatever decision that I might make will be a good for me and my family.

tips on reading skills

7 How to Improve Reading Comprehension

Key Point
Good reading means building frameworks for connecting words to thoughts.


The Purpose of Reading.

The purpose of reading is to connect the ideas on the page to what you already know. If you don't know anything about a subject, then pouring words of text into your mind is like pouring water into your hand. You don't retain much. For example, try reading these numbers:
    7516324 This is hard to read and remember. 751-6324 This is easier because of chunking. 123-4567 This is easy to read because of prior knowledge and structure.
Similarly, if you like sports, then reading the sports page is easy. You have a framework in your mind for reading, understanding and storing information.

Improving Comprehension.

Reading comprehension requires motivation, mental frameworks for holding ideas, concentration and good study techniques. Here are some suggestions.


Develop a broad background.
Broaden your background knowledge by reading newspapers, magazines and books. Become interested in world events.

Know the structure of paragraphs.
Good writers construct paragraphs that have a beginning, middle and end. Often, the first sentence will give an overview that helps provide a framework for adding details. Also, look for transitional words, phrases or paragraphs that change the topic.

Identify the type of reasoning.
Does the author use cause and effect reasoning, hypothesis, model building, induction or deduction, systems thinking? See section 20 for more examples on critical thinking skills.

Anticipate and predict.
Really smart readers try to anticipate the author and predict future ideas and questions. If you're right, this reinforces your understanding. If you're wrong, you make adjustments quicker.

Look for the method of organization.
Is the material organized chronologically, serially, logically, functionally, spatially or hierarchical? See section 10 for more examples on organization.

Create motivation and interest.
Preview material, ask questions, discuss ideas with classmates. The stronger your interest, the greater your comprehension.

Pay attention to supporting cues.
Study pictures, graphs and headings. Read the first and last paragraph in a chapter, or the first sentence in each section.

Highlight, summarize and review.
Just reading a book once is not enough. To develop a deeper understanding, you have to highlight, summarize and review important ideas.

Build a good vocabulary.
For most educated people, this is a lifetime project. The best way to improve your vocabulary is to use a dictionary regularly. You might carry around a pocket dictionary and use it to look up new words. Or, you can keep a list of words to look up at the end of the day. Concentrate on roots, prefixes and endings.

Use a systematic reading technique like SQR3.
Develop a systematic reading style, like the SQR3 method and make adjustments to it, depending on priorities and purpose. The SQR3 steps include Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review. See Section 14 for more details.

Monitor effectiveness.
Good readers monitor their attention, concentration and effectiveness. They quickly recognize if they've missed an idea and backup to reread it.

Should You Vocalize Words?

Yes, although it is faster to form words in your mind rather than on your lips or throat. Eye motion is also important. Frequent backtracking slows you down considerably.

tips on public speaking - my own version

Well over the years i have became the judge of many competitions and one of all time favorite is Public Speaking. As I teach English to my pupils, I also emphasis the importance of speaking in English as a global language. I try to instill the importance of English as a subject and also as a communicative tool. 
Public Speaking and some tips which I would like to share which I have observe and stress on to your pupils. 

1) Know the needs of your audience and match your contents to their needs. This means that you should know and cater well to your audience and speak well according to the situation as well as circumstance. Ensure that your speech or talk is captivating to your audience as well as worth their time and attention. One way to improve is by rehearse your speech at home when you are comfortable. Know what your strong and weak points are. Emphasize your strong points during your presentation. 

2) When you are presenting in front of an audience, you are performing as an actor. The limelight is focus on you. How you are being perceived is very important. Dress accordingly for the occasion. Present the desired image for the audience. Look pleasant, enthusiastic, confident, proud but not arrogant. Remain calm, speak slowly and show appropriate emotion and feeling relating to your topic. Establish rapport with your audience.
Vary the tone of your voice and dramatize if necessary. 

3) Body language  is important. Standing, walking or moving about with appropriate hand gesture or facial expression is preferred to sitting down still with head down and reading from a prepared speech.

4) Speak with conviction as if you really believe in what you are saying. Persuade your audience effectively. 

5) Do not read from notes for any extended length of time although it is quite acceptable to glance at your notes infrequently. Speak loudly and clearly. Sound confident. Do not mumble. If you made an error, correct it and continue. No need to make excises or apologize profusely. 

6) Maintain sincere eye contact with your audience. Use the 3 second method eg look straight into the eyes of a person in the audience for 3 seconds at a time. Have direct eye contact with a number of people in the audience and every now and then glance at the whole audience while speaking. Use your eye contact to make everyone in your audience feel involved.   

7) Speak to your audience, listen to their questions, respond to their reactions, adjust and adapt. Remember that communication is the key to a successful presentation. 

8)  Pause. Allow yourself and your audience a little time to reflect and think. 

9) Add humor when appropriate and possible. Keep audience interested throughout your entire presentation. Remember that an interesting speech makes time fly, but a boring speech is always too long to endure even if the presentation time is the same. 

10) Know when to STOP talking. To end your presentation, summarize your main points in the same way as you normally do in  the CONCLUSION of a written paper. Terminate your presentation with an interesting remark or an appropriate punch line.Leave your audience with a positive impression and a sense of completion. Do not belabor your closing remarks. Thank your audience and sit down.


I do hope that some of this ponder will be help you and to those who already know this, it serves as a reminder. Hope that you can share this with your pupils and have a good Public Speaking competition.

ADMIRE

I admire you, 
From the first time I saw you,
It is here, it all began, 
It is here, it will all end. 

At first I thought, 
It will go away, 
But it kept growing
Through the years.

This feeling of admiration,
Has caste a spell on me,
I did not invite this on me, 
But it come on its own, 
That is why they say, 
You just fall 
Fall in love. 

I admire you, 
From a distance,
Although we see 
Each other  all the time,
I dare not day anything,
As I become silly,
In front of you.

Time is running out for me,
For me and you,
Will I ever tell you that,
I am the one that admired you,
Only time and circumstance will tell..!

change for the betterment please...

I really do not know how to describe today. It started as any normal day with going to school and also having lesson. Out of the blue, my headmistress decide to call for a meeting at 11.05am. Well we all were surprised as she had never done this before having a meeting during school hours. It must be something important. Well, we just waited for the excitement or some valuable information.
So at the dot of 11.05am, we all gathered at the conference room eagerly waiting for the meeting to transpire. Well she started with her normal address and told us about the event and also the meetings which she had attended and their outcome.
Well after about an hour into the meeting, she asked about the monthly results which the teachers were suppose to submit. Well she was very upset when she found out that most of the teachers had not done prepared the results. This was when she burst her top at the teachers under her, I mean she was just saying, what if they were your children and kids, would you have done the same?
Well it is really a case of human behavior and how we approach things. We should know what need to be done first and what can be put on hold. Issues of importance need to be address first before things go out of hand. Well I just hope that after this incident, my headmistress will be able to handle the situation and that the teachers will take heed and change. Change for the betterment of the school and betterment of the pupils.

PRICE...

There is always a price, 
Something,someone, someplace, 
Nothing is not with a price tag. 

Only a handful of things, 
Which are not for sale and has no value,
Sun, Moon, earth and sky,
But these are limited only. 

Do you have a price for emotions ?
Do you seek the price for feelings?
Do you know the price for laughter?
Are they for sale in any place ?

We all go through our lives paying a price,
A price for the good deeds as well as the bad ones,
What is the price for life itself ?
Does the price ever stop ?

You name the price,
I pay the price !

First time ...........

From the first time, 
I saw you standing,
Damsel in distress,
My heart skipped a beat. 

The one step you took,
Made the blood run faster in my body,
I know it now, 
That it was love - for the first time. 

Standing across the ocean, 
More aware of things, I feel the wind blowing ,
swinging the coconuts tress,
Remembering all those times when we shared together, 
How I wish I could go back in time ?

Time is meaningless once again,
Now that I have no one to share it with,
Time is wasting away, 
Now that I have so much, 
Just time stands there, 
Facing me each and everyday !
