Drew Wave Goodbye To The X Factor

Finally she's out! she was once a frontrunner, the most sought after, & was also my most favorite contestant among all..but thanks a lot for a very good direction given by her mentor, Simon Cowell, she just turns out to be a bore one trick pony & officially no longer in the run for the 5 million contract..what a huge miss i must say..

My Soft Pastel Drawing - Tukang Wayang Kulit

well this is not actually a new work of mine..already submitted it earlier last month..just forgotten to post it here..hoho..so here we go..

it was actually for our course project for this semester..for the task, we need to prepare a portfolio about figure drawing and a final drawing..i actually kinda enjoyed this course because we got to do lot's of drawings in class, even some real life drawing - but no, we got a fully clothed model instead..LOL..felt like so long since i last did some drawing for real huh..but yeah there were also some tense especially while making the portfolio with a very limited time..

so for the portfolio, we need to do some *actually a lot* sketches & drawings - specifically on figure drawing..so expect nothing but some revealing figure drawing..lol..but sorry i cannot post those drawings here because it was just too revealing for this blog - just wanna keep the decency of this blog (LMAO)..using some media like pencil, charcoal & pastel..& in the end, i've chosen to use soft pastel for my final drawing..

in progress..

Who Copied Who? - Sara Bareilles VS Michael Bublé

well this might be a little so late, but whatever..i am just so interested to talk about these two & the alleged copying thing..well there was not even a real allegation, but it was more like what people around been talking about..can we say a rumor?

So Who's Copying Who?

it all started in 2009 when Bublé released his first single from his new album Crazy Love, Haven't Met You Yet..it is completely a new song *not another cover version* but somehow, the song kinda reminds some of those music listeners to another song which was released two years before that, which is none other than Sara Bareilles big hit single from 2007, Love Song..

Review: Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, Just Be Afraid Of The Tooth Fairies

to be honest, the movie was totally not as i expected..well i hardly know about the movie, watched the trailer on tv once but i was just craving for a horror movie..so i insisted to watch the movie despite i only know Katie Holmes the most among the cast..we even somewhat thought we just got into a wrong cinema hall at the beginning of the movie! lol..but whatever, it is worth to watch :)

Review: Immortals Was Made Visually Awesome

we've watched this movie last night..& yeah i must say, i am pretty impressed with the shots, & the effects..they looked so incredibly made especially during the fight scenes..it was beautiful & gore at the same time..totally not suitable for underage & those who cannot stand bloody hardcore visuals..& sometimes it even looked a little bit too pretty as it turns out to be more like a beautiful visual show at some parts..with a beautifully made sets & backdrops *both real & CGI things*, there are even some scene transitions which looked so fascinating & big kudos for that..

Paranormal Activity 3 Is A Shocking Prequel

just got back from watching this movie with my buddy, Chun Hoong..& let me get this clear, i am a very big fan of this movie franchise..the 1st was great, the 2nd was quite better, but this 3rd installment is just..no exceptional..lol..i was afraid at 1st that i might be disapointed with this movie as some sites just give it quite just average *some even pretty bad* ratings..but damn with those ratings..this movie is good & it is a very MUST WATCH..especially for those who have watched the previous 2 movies..

it is another prequel..a very long prequel which took place way back when the sisters - Katie & Kristy was still just little girls..i was very worried about how they gonna connect this 3rd movie with the previous movies as the timeline was just too far..so i must give a big credit to those who write the story for making such a meaningful introduction..i mean, yeah the 1st 15 minutes was quite boring, but it does means a lot to the story..at least they didnt just throw in the story..kudos for that..but when the parents planned to do the bedroom scene, there the real excitements started..

Chuping Sugar Cane Plantation, Perlis - The Biggest Sugar Cane Field In Malaysia

so we actually planned to get there before sunrise, of course to watch the sunrise..lol..but we just didn't make it..well it's quite a long journey from Penang to Perlis ok..huhu..then it also started to rain when we arrived there so we decided to go to Satun 1st & only on our way back to Penang we decided to go back there to take some pictures, i mean after we eventually stopped at the Ostrich Farm..lol

so this sugar cane field is the biggest in Malaysia which is about 22,000 hectares of plantations & the name Chuping derived from a limestone hill in the area called Bukit Chuping..so what to expect from a big sugar cane field like that? of course, a beautiful scenery :)..so yeah we came there just to take some pictures, because im telling u, it is a perfect spot to do a photoshoot..so just check out some of the pictures we've taken that day..

a cute photograph isn't it :)

Simone Battle Releases Single After Her Elimination, & It Is Actually Pretty Good!

Surprise, surprise..so who's laughing now? well she announced it clearly just after her elimination that she's releasing her new video for her own original single..to be honest, i was at first, at that very moment, was like "are you serious?"..but damn she is serious..& it is not even something like a homemade video @ a stupid low budget video with a ridiculous tune to it..

pop star material?

it actually turned out to be pretty good! the song, the vid, looks very well made..well yeah it is a gay themed song..but it is actually a very funny song..it even somewhat reminds me of Katy Perry's Ur So Gay..only this time, that guy *or actually those guys* is really gay for real..lol

X Factor US Is Kickin It HOT!

let me 1st be honest, i am very glad that Simon finally bring this show to the US because i am really just so bored & over with American Idol after some very disappointing cycles..well i know im not even american & not even resides in the states, but they are the mogul in this biz right..lol..but whatever it is, i am already a fan of this show ^_^

i think the format is way more interesting because there is more diversity among talents & the performances will also be more than just singing..so there would be no kinds of karaoke-like performance as the contestants are mentored by the judges themselves..ok enough talking about the show, i actually wanna talk about the finalists for each group with their mentor, also about some which i thought was just robed..first up, the GROUPS..

it was so obvious that they were having some difficulties in selecting the best finalists for the groups, not because of there was just so many great groups, but somewhat kinda lacking..maybe the groups was just not up to the par as they even formed two new groups from the rejected soloist, which was no doubt would get through to the liveshows just because they were the groups which formed by the judges themselves - but that is just my personal opinion..lol..because, i honestly thought there were some pretty good groups during the judges house stage, but didnt get picked..but hey its their mentor Paula Abdul's call..so heres the final 4 groups performance during the 1st liveshow..

Ostrich Farm - Perlis

it was while on our way back from Satun that we stopped by for some ostrich feeding..lol..this Ostrich Farm is under the Perlis Central Veterinary Services a.k.a Pusat Perkhidmatan Veterinar Perlis..there is no entrance fee, so you can just walk in & meet the ostrich..but they do sell some food *or actually some plants* for the ostrich to the visitors for only RM1 a bunch, so why not just buy it :)

so here's some pics of us feeding the ostrich..it was an experience..i mean it was kinda scary at first but they actually kinda friendly..so just check out these pics..picture tells more than words right :)

feeding the ostrich :)

Real Steel Is A Real Excitement

i know this is kinda late post..but whatever..its been awhile since i last posted a movie review..i havent watch much movies lately anyway..was packed with all those ass-sigh-mean a.k.a assignment things & also some craps which i just dont wanna talk about..& now i just realized i didnt managed my budget very well..so yeah its kinda pathetic..but whatever..lets just talk about the movie..

some friends actually already been talking about this movie way before the screening..my besties at campus Chun Hoong even somewhat like booked me for the movie..lol..but i am really Chun Hoong that i had to turned it down & i did explained it already right - movie is just out of my budget right now..till one day, an old friend which also a good friend of mine, Afiq, suddenly called insisted & forced me to go watch the movie with him..then i manage to asked him to treat me & so yeah we go for the movie..lol

A Short Day Trip To Satun, Thailand

just sharing some pics from our short day trip to Satun, Thailand..for those who still doesnt know where the heck is this Satun place, it south borders Perlis of Malaysia..so yeah we were visiting the Malaysia - Thailand border..but whatever, Satun is Thailand right..lol..while Wang Kelian is the Malaysia part of the border..

still in Malaysia:)

Invisible

who can say that they never felt invisible? i am for sure just cant..because thats how i mostly led my life..being invisible, anonymous..hoho..yea it sounds kinda pathetic..it does feels kinda bad, sometimes..but in a way, sometimes it did gave me some good feelings..just like when we dont have to mind any other business & just flow freely..lol..yea i know that sounds kinda weird but thats just me;p

while this song pointing about the sadness of being invisible, i still enjoy listening to it..with a very deep emotion applied on the lyrics, it actually somewhat a relief for some who's on the same boat..it even somewhat like an anthem i guess, for the invisibles;p

Disaster

finally! my beloved JoJo is back! yay! damn ive been waiting for her since like forever..& i know whenever she came out with a new album its gonna be real good..her previous albums - JoJo & High Road, was a clear hit & also are pretty good records ..& trust JoJo as she will do it again this time - i hope..at least this new released single for her upcoming long awaited album Jumping Trains already sounds like something & totally are just addictive..& let me make this clear, we need more of real music & real artist like her instead of those using sex & etc to sell..dont you think so?

Happy Eid Mubarak 2011 :)

family portrait :) 

Babies In Action : Part 2 : Aisyah

so this time its my 1st niece a.k.a our family 2nd grandchild, my sister's daughter..she's only 2 months younger than Fadh..so they do look somewhat like the same size which they actually not..lol..& not like Fadh, she's actually a lil bit harder to take picture of just because its way harder to make her smile to the camera & she usually just ended up givin some 'blur' face to the camera..lol..but come on, she's only 4 months ok..hoho

& surprisingly, some of my aunt & uncle said she actually got my baby look..i mean my look when i was a baby..what? like seriously? lol..i honestly dont know..bt it is honestly quiet tricky to determine whos face she got more whether her mom @ her dad..lol

so heres just some of hers in action..well it is also pretty hard to attract her attention to look straight to the camera..but whatever..as long as she didnt cry..lol

yuhuu..the camera is here~ 

Babies In Action : Part 1 : Fadhlullah

so long havent met my 1st nephew which the 1st & the last time i saw him was while he was only about 1 month..& now he's already 6 months old! cant believe babies actually do grow up really fast..lol..now he look so much different..& he kinda have a more malay look which he got from his mom i guess;p

so these pics was taken around last raya, in one early morning when he just woke up & i was just coincidentally sittin there chekin out some photos in my camera..he looked at me & i was so worried if he start crying because i am totally just no good in handling kids, ESPECIALLY BABIES! so i just point my cam at him & surprisingly he just started smiling! lol..funny but true..so what else should i do? just take his pics & he seems really enjoying it..dont believe me? just check out these pics & judge by yourself;p

woke up with a natural mohawk! XD 

Know Yourself From What You Wear :)

another interesting & pretty good quiz..sure everyone got their own style right..& yes i do believe that how we dressed up actually reflects our personality, because clearly we are wearing what we like (who would want to wear something that they totally do not like, right?)

just click HEREto answer the quiz to know what your wardrobe are saying..while here's are mine..lol:

What others see from your style

Although to the untrained eye you may seem like a plain dresser who avoids trends, you actually wear carefully designed accessories and clothes that emphasize your uniqueness. You value your freedom and have an artistic mind. You are neither aggressive nor timid, but you believe in yourself.

What your nightclothes reveal

You're a romantic person at heart. You are imaginative but your temper can sometimes get in the way of your happiness.

Get To Know Yourself Better

Got this from my friends' blog Wantanho..just checkin out & i would say it's quite good..just try for yourself HERE & let see hows it gonna turn out..while here's mine ^_^ :

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Captain America is HOT!

obviously the 1st thing i felt after watching this movie was plain JEALOUS! because Chris Evans got 1 hell of a hot bod! LOL..it is so unfair because he totally just made me felt so out of shape or shapeless or whatever it is..LMAO..pathetic..ok enough with that..straight to the movie..i think it was a pretty good movie..may not be great, not even that bad, pretty average but quiet good..

ok i know i was really excited to watch this movie..yes it doesnt really disappoint me but it doesnt quiet wows me..it was merely average but pretty good at some point, but still quiet far from great..

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is Just The Best It Can Be

To be honest i am not really a big & loyal fan of Harry Potter..i loved them during the first 3 chapter..well ive been growing up with them at that time & it was just so exciting to watch someone who was about your age having this wonderful journey in somewhat a more magical (or actually a completely magical) world..it was like watchin our peers & ive always been dreaming about gettin into that world and have that journey along with them..LMAO..but come on, i was 12 years old at that time..LOL

but then, i dont know why but i just stopped watchin & following the franchise..it was like, ok im done with all this fantasy movies..they just dont make sense..something like a kid tryin to be matured i guess..lol..so yeah i kinda missed the rest of the franchise (did watch some on dvd at some cousins home, but dont even pay much attention..huhu)

but it all ends last year when the final chapter came out, i mean the first installment..at first i was not so eager to go watch them because ive missed so much about the stories..but my brother is a very big fan of the franchise..& with the idea which they are all grown up, so i think why not..maybe its gonna be fun..

but then, unfortunately i was not quiet satisfied with the movie..maybe because the fact that i already missed the whole stories so i ended up so much lost during the movie..but i would say the biggest disappointment was, it runs kinda slow & it was not as ive expected..but then it was only part 1..maybe they are keeping the best for the last..thats what i thought..& thank god i was right

Ladda Land is Really Haunted

yea i know this is also a very late post..again..lol..but again, whatever..i am still gonna make this post..hohoho

so its been awhile since i last watched a Thai horror movie..the last one was Coming Soon i guess..which was very disappointing actually for me because it just didnt came as horrifying as i expected..well some of my friends told me it was very scary & etc etc etc but when i watch it by myself, i was just left alone so much regretting it..huhuhu..but this time around, thank god i am totally not disapointed at all:)

Larry Crowne is a Must Watch!

nothin much to say but seriously this movie is a must watch!

first of all, its a Tom Hanks movie..so spoiler alert, you'll see lots of his name in the montage..lol..is that even counted as a spoiler? XD..ok just cut it short..to be honest i am not a fan of Tom Hanks..not even familiar with his movies..i was more forward to watch Julia Roberts actually..always love her especially her smiles, don't tell me you dont love it cause if you dont, you are just plain jealous..LMAO..kidding;p

Holiday Movies : Part 2 - I Spit On Your Grave

i know this was soooo outdated but whatever, i am still gonna make a review for this movie..

f.y.i, this movie is a remake of a 1978 movie with the same re-release name (it was 1st released as Day Of The Woman) & like what written on the poster, yes this movie is indeed brutally shocking..very disturbing actually i would say..mostly because of the violence scene..it's a rape & revenge film & please do take note, IT IS VERY GRAPHICAL!

Confessions Of a So-Called Teacher - "P.E Class"

finally another "confessions" post since long forgotten..lol..ok this time i wanna talk about P.E class or to be exact PHYSICAL EDUCATION class..well just a brief introduction, i just started my 2nd session of my practicum..but this time its gonna be for 2 whole month instead of 1 month..& ill be teaching 2 subject instead of 1 which is my major subject, Visual Art Education, & the 2nd one is my 1st minor none other than Physical Education..

well people might typically think that i am so lucky & it is just a piece of cake to teach these two subjects but let me get this clear, IT IS NOT EASY! yes these are somewhat the easiest subject for kids i guess but teaching them, just let say it is not as easy as it looks..

Make Me Your Radio ^_^

nothin much to say..just loving this song..hope you guys gonna love it too..specially dedicated to all my beloved (if theres any..LMAO)

heres the official lyric video..i also attached the lyrics below (in case if you just wanna read the lyrics..hahaha)

I'm a Space Bound Rocket Ship...

...and your heart's the moon...

heard about this song few days ago when the music video came out..but only get to check it out today..seriously all that catch my attention is not the video but the song itself..when i read the lyrics, i just had nothin else to say..i just can feel it..yea it suits myself really well..i dont know how & i dont know why, or maybe i just pretend that i dont know eventhough i actually know it realy well..but whatever..this song just open my eyes & made me realize that i am a space bound rocket ship:)

nothing else to say, just wanna share the song with the much talked music video & also the lyrics below..just enjoy it..peace out~

Holiday Movies : Part 1 - Insidious

i know this might came pretty late but better late than never right..lol..so just wanna share my thoughts or review about some movies ive watched during my last semester break..1st up, INSIDIOUS..

Halal Dim Sum @ Xinjiang Restaurant, Klana Resort

this is actually happened like few days ago at the beginning of our semester break.. ive read about this restaurant & their dim sum buffet in several blogs before but never get to go & try them for myself..well i honestly been craving for dim sum quiet awhile already..but seriously it is really hard to find a HALAL dim sum with a reasonable price..this one might be pretty expensive *for me at least* but it seriously worth every penny..trust me..

Smile ^_^

smile..just what i really need right now..with all this pressure & some other stuff, i just cannot ask for more or do anythin more but smile..& what a really right time when this song just popped in my playlist..i mean yeah i did added it first..lol..but whatever..i just wanna share my recently & latest favorite song..lol..from the 1 i love from the beginning, which is none other than Avril Lavigne..got nothin else to say, just wanna dedicate this song to everyone out there to just keep smiling no matter how hard your current condition is..including myself..& just enjoy..btw i also love the video so much because i think the message is really big & deep..enjoy:)

American Idol 2011 Top 2

ok before i go further, i would honestly say, i am so not gonna watch the finale..at least the top 2 performance..huhu..yeah i am kinda disappointed..i mean actually really disappointed..

its gonna be Lauren VS Scotty..ok fine i used to like Lauren..she was actually one of my favourite contestant in the beginning..but after several weeks, it just didnt get anywhere better..i think she was okay..but thats just it..she got a really nice voice..but her performances was not exciting..i just gettin bored watching her..so yeah i still like her voice but i just wish she is more playful and refreshing..thats all

1 Down, 4 More To Go~

like ive told you earlier, its already been like my routine to countdown the paper during exam..lol..& i still & will continue that habit i guess..haha..so yeah, today i paper down, & 4 more paper to go..& here, i present *drumroll*, my full exam schedule..huhu

how was it? killin right..especially for next week..my gosh..i just dont wanna think about it yet..hoho..so what about the 1st paper which i just took this evening?

overall i would say - NIGHTMARE! honestly, it was almost like the most terrible exam experience i had..i mean i had some other terrible experience..LMAO..but this one i am so sure i would remember it for a very long time..at 1st it was okay..ive read some..hmm..ok lets start about my revision last night first..huhu

I'm Dead

i think its already been like my regular semester study pattern..but it just gettin even worse by semester..& this semester is no exception..well the flow would regularly be like this:

• 1st - not pleasant to start the new sem
• 2nd - gettin better after a few weeks
• 3rd - somewhat determined to change for a better me
• 4th - giving the best for the earlier assignments
• 5th - giving so-so for the later assignments
• 6th - doing the least for the last assignment
• 7th - im done with this semester
• 8th - owh wait! theres a final exam! whatever~
• 9th - revision? uhm..ok..wait a sec~
• 10th - the paper is tomorrow? uhm..ok..*mode: revision = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

so yeah..thats it..& right now, im currently on the 9th phase..so yeah i am so dead..peace all ^_^

The Other Side Of Me - The Other Blog

this may sounds kinda funny & surreal *is it?*..in the middle of our study week *& i got a paper this thursday*, i just manage to made up a new blog for me, for myself..LOL..but still, that doesnt mean i'm not gonna post in here no more..this blog would still have my major updates, blurbs, review, & etc..but that other blog is just for the other side of me ^_^

okay why do i even need that other blog since i already got my space here? the major cause would be for a more personal & free spirited me..LMAO..naa..just that i feel i got more restricted in this blog, mostly because of the use of the language..yeah seriously i would really need to admit that my english is not really that good which sometimes causing me some barriers to express myself more..but even when i 1st made up this blog, beside to keep in touch with my bestfriend in the Philippines, it was also made as platform for myself to improve my english & writing skill - which im not really sure how far that goal been achieved..hahaha

so with the existence of my new personal blog, for sure you gonna find a more me *like seriously, even when i'm writing in english, it doesnt sounds a lot like me because the words are more structured - well i am still learning this language ok*..but it would definitely have a mixed use of several languages & slang - just in whatever way i like *in those particular time i'm writing there..lol*..so yeah, clearly it is just for fun..& a more expressive side of me *wink*..hahaha

ok enough talking crap & thats all for now i guess..but wheres the blog? hahaha..here it is : sicipol.blogspot.com a.k.a Me Say 

*i purposely made 2 hyperlinks here with the same site for the promotional use..wakaka*

& yeah dont worry, im also gonna put up the link on this blog sidebar..hahaha..& for my best, dont worry about this blog as it still gonna run like it used to *u know what i mean*, & sure you are always welcome to check out that other blog cause i still gonna use some english there but totally not fully english..but to make it even clearly, that blog mostly just for fun & crappy blurbs & nothin much..hahaha..till then see you later guys..peace out

p/s: that blog is not fully customize yet..still got some more work to do..but i guess i really need to start doin revision & etc *i hope i will..huhu* - lame excuses~

The Green Hawk

i know this is a very very late post..might be rotten already..but still i am posting it though..lol..just to show off some of what we did for the past few weeks..& this time its for our campus sports day which was held last week from 3rd to 5th of May..

nothin much, i didnt even participate * my days are over..lmao*..but as an art major student, its hard to be invisible as people will just point straight to us when it comes to several things that requires some hand job..erk i mean "designing and making things manually with hands" job..LMAO..sorry for the inappropriate use of words..hahaha

lets just cut it short..so heres some of what we (me, my classmate & some of our junior student with the same course) did;

 a flag by me & ah hoong..a very exspressionist one huh..lol

Katakanlah Amirah Ali

dont know how many Malaysian have heard of her..but i honestly, just found out about her today when a friend in facebook just promoted this song, Katakanlah ( "say it" @ "tell me" )..usually this kind of song are just not my cup of coffee..but after replaying the song for several times, this song is really something..with a very poetic but simple lyrics, i think i kinda like this song;p

ok what about the song? the song actually reminds me of Note To God by JoJo which then covered by Charice..with a similar subject but a softer approach, this self declared World Pop singer write the song by herself with the music showcasing a fusion of traditional musical instruments such as tanbura, tabla and seruling, along with modern drums, strings and electronic synths..theres even some other version including a strip down vocal with piano and a club remix by Antithesis..

& fyi, this song is actually a finalist of The  John Lennon Songwriting Competition 2010 under World Category, & just recently placed 2nd in the World Category of International Songwriting Competition..CLICK HERE for the full list of winners..& not to forget, she actually already quiet made her name in the US..so yeah, another local artist who seems to get more attention abroad..huhu

Lonely

fresh from the oven *maybe not so much as this video actually debuted like last night*, latest single from 1 of my fav korean wonder, 2NE1..just love this song..maybe their 2nd ballad single which i will just keep replaying after "I Dont Care" *yea i know its not really like ballad "ballad", but i would still consider it as a ballad..lol*

dont know why, but actually this song somewhat just came out right on time when me myself felt the same way..funny huh..but no, its not the same kind of lonely as it was in this song *based on the english lyrics i found on the net..LMAO*..bt still just lonely..

this has got nothing to do with my single life, cause if so, ive been lonely for almost 5 years already huh..my gosh! cant believe its already about 5 years! @_@..but no, hell no, cause i am totally happy with my "singleness"..lol..but..right now, its just lonely..thats it..yeap i got some very good friends around here..even some who for the past days been switching off my bedroom lamp whenever i just fell asleep..huhu..yea i appreciate the existence of all you guys so much..you guys *& girls* been such a lot of favor to myself especially these days..so thank you so much to all of you..

so what really makes me feels so lonely? honestly i dont even know..& i dont even think i hate this feeling..like seriously..lol..cause tht is me..i consider myself as a lone ranger because i just felt better of alone..some experience just will change your perceptions like forever..as for me, i'd better be alone rather than getting loud with some backstabber & etc..so yeah..thats it..an honest truth..

ok lets just stop it right there & go to the song *what a long introduction huh*..heres the video with the lyrics both in korean & english below..

Mode : GARFIELD!

its SUNDAY! so..


i love Garfield so much..because im just such a lazy ass just like him..lol..unfortunately i need to do my report which to be submitted tomorrow..argh! damn much! T_T

Confessions Of a So-Called Teacher - "Kids!"

lets face it, kids is like the life of a teacher..why? because as a teacher u would have kids surrounding your life..but for me, honestly, I DONT LIKE KIDS! yeah it is really hurtful but its true.. its not that i hate kids but i just dont like them..get it? hate & dont like is a totally different thing ok *as for me..lol*..

as a teacher, when u enter the class, the most important thing would be CLASS CONTROL..while for someone who just doesnt like kids, i majorly failed on this aspect during some of my class..its hard for you to control the class especially with those little rascals & the fact that u just dont like them which also made it clear u will have a problem to communicate & mix with them..so yeah, there is no doubt that was the biggest problem ive been facing for the whole month..

so what did i do? heres some tips & tricks:

1. pretend like u "like" them
2. use a "gentle" approach when communicating with them
3. make up some class rules which including the "payment" they will get if they disobey
4. raise your voice as you gonna need them to take their attention

if u follow these tips & tricks, i am pretty sure u will end up in "HEAVEN" or if u didnt get what i mean, the reverse of it..i mean seriously because kids nowadays are:

1. easily spoiled
2. will get on top of u whenever they know they can
3. not scared of punishment & etc! - & i mean no kidding!
4. all about themselves..which sometimes appear to be less of respect towards people even their teachers..

yea i know those thing ive listed sounds kinda cruel & quiet a very bad judgment..but im just being real *maybe also affected by the fact that i dont like them..lol..sorry*..but honestly, that was the exact response i got when i use those approaches..

so what should we do? *maybe the best to suit is "what should i do?"..hoho*..& heres what i did next:

1. be decisive yet not too hard cos u dont wanna have a dull class with kids who seems so robotic
2. make up a tagline for the class - ill post abt this later
3. use some personal approach to those problematic kids

but wht i started love to do is:

BE FIERCE WHENEVER THEY ARE ABOUT TO TAKE ON YOU!

hahaha..how? wht kind of fierce? i guess that part u gonna have to figure out yourself..but all i can say is BE FIERCE! lol..

but still, actually it all depends on every teachers personal take on kids..everybody got their own way of handling this kinda stuff right..some approach may work for some teachers but may not work at all for some others..right? ok i guess thats all for now..c ya later..peace out

Confessions Of a So-Called Teacher - "Practical Training"

yea this is kinda funny but like seriously, i am actually a teacher-to-be *i'd prefer tht phrase over "wannabe" i guess..lol*..ok2 lets just make it short..i actually jst finished my 1st practicum session about 2 weeks ago..yea after 4 school based experience a.k.a SBE session, we finally gone to school & do the real *smewht like* teachers thing..i mean teaching & etc of course..cause during SBE we only kinda observing the environment, as what i used to do..lol

so yeah, again LETS MAKE IT SHORT! huhu..sorry..but i guess i need some more introduction to the title of this post..lalala..ok about the title..ive decided to put on this ironic title *as i may consider it* because there are actually so many things to say, to write, & to post on this new topic or maybe i should say a new side of me! *did i get that right? whatever!*..but yeah i may not be able to blurbs about everything in a post, so ive decided to divide it into several small & hot topics..& for this 1st post, it will be all about PRACTICUM and ONLY! get it?

so yeah, what is practicum? the exact definition, i guess u gonna need to refer to dictionary & etc but i would say its somewhat like on job training or the easiest way to say, practical training..but here we call it practicum or maybe it is just simply practicum..lol..(mode: stupid + lame)..

as a teacher-to-be or to be exact an ART teacher-to-be, i must say this profession is not as easy as u think..i mean seriously, u would never know how hard it is to be a "TEACHER" until u become 1..dont trust me? try to be a teacher just for a day..then you'll know

the thing i "love" the most during this practicum thing would be preparing the DAILY LESSON PLAN! like seriously, i just became from zero to..err..i can write a proper daily lesson plan..lol..for every class, i would need to plan the lesson all handwritten in the specially-designed-for-that-thing book which would be an average 5 pages..yeah! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! *get my point?*..but whatever it is, this thing called DAILY LESSON PLAN is a MUST DO for every teacher, so no excuses..

ok..next i would talk about..wait, i guess thats all for now..because..i think im done for now *is it acceptable?* so i will continue in the next post, more about practicum but in some more different view and aspect..honestly i dont even think anybody would read all this crap but here i go just like a lil stupid & innocent child *i know that doesnt sound right at all* who kept talking by himself all on his own..*already sounds so pathetic..lol*..but whatever..ive been meaning to write all this so here it goes..whatever

anyway my overall review for my 1st practicum session would be - so-so..wanna know why? wait for the next next next & next post..hahaha..& sorry that i dont have any picture frm tht practicum to attach, cos my practicum was just "pictureless"..LMAO..peace all
