LESSON OF THE DAY.
Today’s (5th August 2010) tutorial was fun. We had to draw our fable as in comic strip form in a mahjong paper. My group consists of Kirubayini, Naomi, Renuga and myself. Our artist was Kirubayini, the script writers were Renuga and Naomi, and the painter was me. I am not a good painter, but at least I am proud to contribute something for the group. All the groups were given 45 minutes to finish the fable but all of us took about an hour to finish it. It was fun to see all the groups taking their time to create a good piece of work.
Second thing to do is to write an essay of 200 words about traditional literature. We had to write an introduction paragraph, three paragraphs consist of the body and the last paragraph consist the conclusion. It was a nice experience to write an essay. All the group members giving ideas for the essay. We are satisfied enough with our last product because everyone are doing their job well. This tutorial was very educational yet fun.

TASK AND ASSIGNTMENT
Task and assigntment.
Our class today is mostly about the project paper. Dr. Jaya explains to us about the project paper and also tells about our own supervisor for that. I was given Miss Dzeelfa whom I am very familiar with. On week six I need to meet her and discuss about my topic. Talking about the topic, I don’t have any clear topic to think of but I know which area to focus on. Next, we learned about fables. It is interesting to read fables because it always gives moral of the story at the end of it. Dr. Jaya gave us a task to form a group of four and come up with our own fable during tutorial. It is exciting to do because it’s our own fable where we must come up with our own moral of the story. We have two days to think about a fable and do it in a comic strip form in our next tutorial.

COMPETITION DAY
COMPETITION DAY.
Today is our Drowgames knock out. We used our tutorial time last Thursday on 29th July 2010 from 2.30 till 5.30pm to have competition among TESL 7 batch mates. It was held at the resource centre. The competition was among our classmates so it was fun and we could play it till we loose with whoever we are playing with. Our partners were arrange by Amelia and Alicia.
I played for the first time with Fahmi and the sad part is I lost to him. The competition is fun and I enjoy the session. It is good to see everyone was taking part in this game. Everyone needs to have fun in order to avoid stress. I believe this game can give pleasure to students.

Time to be serious.
Time to be serious.
Is it time to think about practical? Yes, it is time for us to be serious and ready to come out and do our teaching practical. Our practical starts next year in six months time. I am nervous, anxious, excited, and scared when I think of practical. Dr. Jaya spoke a lot about practical in class. He said by end of this semester we will know the schools that we will be going to. He also asked us to list down eight names so that we can be together in a house.
Different schools, different teachers, students, managements and facilities. Which is the best school to go to? It’s all depends on our luck. I really hope I’ll get good students and good school that give a pleasant environment for me. The lecturers have told us a lot of stories about the student’s attitude while the trainees are teaching. I will use the story as a guideline for me to avoid some of the problems. We as a teacher trainees are ready to serve. All the best everyone!

Educational outing
Educational outin.
Today we were not having class in our usual classroom because we were asked to visit an exhibition. We were brought to ‘Dewan Besar’ to see the ‘Pameran Reka Cipta dan Inovasi’ which was on for three days (20th-22nd July). Dr. Jaya were involved in it so we are excited to see what is happening there. There were many kind of exhibition. We visited Dr. Jaya’s innovation before leaving the hall.
Dr. Jaya’s innovation was about creating questions for students using particular software created by Dr. Jaya and the team. It was a good experience for me to have the opportunity to look at the many creations done by the students and professors. It is also a good thing to have this kind of exhibition in UPM to expose students about hundreds of innovation that can we done by people. Thumbs up to everyone!

LEARNING IS FUN
LEARNING IS FUN
The first tutorial was in the resource centre. We were instructed to go the website http://drowgames.com to play the game online. This game is fun because we need to click on the answer before a box becomes red and it becomes red within 15 seconds. It is played by two players over the internet but we can only play it if the other player is willing to play. I played for five minutes with my course mate Sharon Soong and I won the game. I felt really excited about the game and it made me addicted to play it again. I feel that this game is suitable for school children from the age of thirteen to fifteen (form 1-3). Learning language is not a fun things to do for most students but introducing language through game will be a lot better then a teacher standing in front of the class and teaching. The questions from this game range from too easy – easy – difficult – too difficult. This will help students to develop their thinking skills. Thanks to Dr. Jaya and his friends for developing such an interesting game.

Universal Music for all....
Universal music
We had our first day of class with Dr. Jaya on Tuesday at 3-4pm. In this class, he asked us to listen to two songs which are quite meaningful to him. The first song we heard is from a singer call by the name of Sain Zahoor Ahmed. The singer is a leading Sufi musician from Pakistan. He emerged as the ‘Best BBC voice of the year 2006’. Sain Zahoor known for his ‘magical’ voice which was known to put his listener to trance. The song lasted for about 8 minutes. I am not really understood the meaning of the song, but it is so pleasant to hear the music. It made us felt calm and peaceful. The second song was Alejandro by Lady Gaga. We didn’t see the video clip but just listened to the song. I liked the music of this song but I do not think it is suitable for the students because the message of the song is not appropriate for the younger generation. The music video received from mixed to positive reviews, with critics complimenting its idea and dark nature. Out of the two songs I preferred to play the first song for my students because it talks about the greatness of God. Spiritual song is good to bring calmness for us.
