THE END!!!!

So this will likely be the last entry for this blog. I think it is going to be a reflective one. I guess I will follow the questions and answer the questions one by one.

What do you like about blogging?

Actually I really like blogging. I had a personal blog even before I started this. I like sharing my thoughts to whoever that is concerned and it is nice to read back what I had wrote before.

 What you do not like about blogging?

The one thing I don’t like about blogging is the deadline for each week. Sometimes I am force to do it out of duty and because of the deadline.

What have you gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc.

One thing about blogging is that it trains me to be more reflective and not just do the thing for the sake of doing. Apart from that, I learnt to explore lots of other stuff to make my blog nicer for everyone to read.

What do you like about this course?

There are lots of stuff to learn and I really learnt a lot of things.

What you do not like about this course?

Lots of assignments plus unclear instructions!!!!

What have you learnt from this course?

BE PATIENT!!!

What have you learnt from this course that you did not expect to?

Lots of technology stuff that makes teaching more easier.

If you can change anything about this course, state what it is and elaborate?

I would like to learn more about traditional way of doing teaching aids too and also how we can use these teaching aids to teach the kids.

Exploring Microsoft Publisher....

This is great exploration and great findings!!!! I love microsoft publisher!!! I didn't know it was this easy creating so many types of document like invites, flyers and etc. I love it!!! I will show you one of my latest work!



Nice isn't it? haha... Self-praise..

I did another Mothers' Day card.

It is folded type of card one! When I made this card, I started to missed my mum so much....

I should do one for my daddy too! =) Missed him too!

My works up till this moment... [PART 2]

E-book....

This was one project that I really spent lots of time on... I even do the voice recording for this book. It was fun and I didn't know it was this easy to do this thing. Although in the midst there were problem of attaching the file onto it but it was fine after that.

I cannot attach it here so I am just going to print screen for you some of it. Oh... you can ask me for the copy if you are interested in it.



It is about a mother bringing her two children to shop for groceries. The main language focus here is vocabulary of fruits and vegetables.

My works up till this moment...

Photo Editing.....


BEFORE...........


AFTER.........

This was quite a fun thing to do. I explore this using FotoFX. It was not very hard to make the changes and it is great to explore how to crop and then change the shade and put in words and so on...

Now I know how the fans of the celebrity and idol do all these stuff....

Movie day........

This was out of the blue.. I didn't know that we were going to watch all that we had produce. Meaning---- THE VIDEO! I didn't know that our video is going to be watched by everyone...
*Feeling Baffled*

I guess I felt that way because I did not put in any effort for the producing of the video. I am not really good at it and some more my partner was away for Hari Raya. Hence, it explains the laziness to actually come up with something. We watched lots of videos. And the one I love the most is the one on friendship and it was all photos from our Foundation years in MAKTAB!!! Man, I really missed that place. I so hope to go back there and finished all that we need to finish there. The lecturers are superb except certain ones. Can't particularly blame them but the rest was GREAT lecturers that I missed soooo much....

Ok... Enough of all the reminiscing of the past. PRESENT!!!! The present now is video viewing and also video, video, video.

Hence the video craze... I was watching something on facebook that I find it so awesome that I would love to share it here. The guy is superb... I love his voice!!! And he is good!!!!

Video stuff+ My fav Korean actress

Haha.. We were asked to come out with a video together with a partner. I was thinking what to do and when our ideas were rejected, we decided to change our story and look for something else to do. We finally did the a video like a tribute to Michael Jackson. But I would like to share a video about one korean actress that I super like.

This is her latest drama and she sang the OST for this song...


I love this song and I love her!!
Support her drama..
She acted in Goong, Vineyard man, Coffee Prince and the latest one is this drama called My Fair Lady.

Chaos.............

That is the one word I would use to describe the class today.... The reason was the mentioning of assignment deadlines that were forgotten by all of us. Hence, there were lots of commotion happening as all of us scuffle to get the right information and form groups and lots more. I agree that it was our fault because as students we need to be aware of the things that we are supposed to do and also not procrastinate. And I looked up in the Internet about procrastination and looked at what is said about procrastination! 

"If and When were planted, and Nothing grew."
Proverb

"Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried."
Author Unknown

“You may delay, but time will not.”
Benjamin Franklin

“In a moment of decision,
the best thing you can do is the right thing to do.
The worst thing you can do is nothing.”
Theodore Roosevelt

"The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started."
Dawson Trotman

"Procrastination is the thief of time."
Edward Young

"Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday."
Don Marquis

"You don't have to see the whole staircase,
just take the first step."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Even if you're on the right track -
you'll get run over if you just sit there."
Will Rogers

“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.”
Denis Waitley

That is what I learned today and also I learned how to be patient with other people. And I also learned the true meaning of friendship. Friends are ones that understand us and care for us compare to some selfish people who thinks about themselves only.
