arghhhhhhh......


life is a winding and tricky road...you must strive hard to achieve what you want in your life

  • busy...busy...busy...im so da** tired...lack of sleep, lack of rest, lack of food...aiyaaaa...fyi, we have just started a new semester for polytechnics all over malaysia..so now im quite busy helping the 'orientation team' with the orientation. this time around, the students are more taller than i am (believe me, i know...im already standing at 172cm) and they are still taller than i am. its not than im intimidated with their height but by looking at their faces, im worried that this semester, ill be in 'pain'. yup...most of them are ehem..senior students and teaching older students is no easy job. you must really push them to the limit and to do that, ill be mentally and physically challenged. fuhh....i bet im going to have a hard time teaching them. but that what make this job interesting. you must be able to become a chameleon. you must study their tricks and moves so that you can catch their attention. i love teaching..i do..its my passion. its satisfying when you see the students got good results and can do the things that they were not able to do before. as for me who is teaching english...(pardon my language here ok..eheh)its a big challenge. malaysian students, especially malays are really not good in this and they usually think this course(my course!) is a 'waste of time course'!! so as you can see, i have to somehow change their mentality towards the language and to make them understand of the importance of the language is not easy. i have to make sure that my teaching is related to their main course and that it is very useful to them if they want to survive in the 'occupation world'. not to mention, all those documentation thing that all lecturers have to do every semester.
