Life....

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this:
Decide what you want.

Blogging for all

I'm in class now with my CIE4 students. Helping them to create their own blog. Good response it seems. And everyone is blogging now...Way to go class!!

The Oscars

I just watched 2 academy awards movies nominated for best film...Atonement and No Country For Old Men. Both have very strong storyline but Atonement managed to take my breath away..Go and see them folks...Highly recommended.

REMEMBER....

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Anis "Two of Everything" presentation

Watch this entertaining presentation from the Amazing Anis Hazrati

the other side of storytelling....

The day was Sunday and it was my 42nd birthday.I thought nobody is going to celebrate it with me but I was wrong..The whole bus..the girls and boys sang happy birthday song to me. And that night, they presented me with a bouquet of roses and a choc. sponge cake..they prepared all these for me. And i hardly knew any of them except that they are KMK students. Even Anis and Fadhil are not my 'real' students. I don't teach them. I just accompanied, assisted them with their task.But they are all so sweet and thoughtful. I wish them all the best in their future undertakings. Love u all and thank you so much..Don't be too frustrated. u're still the best!!!

storytelling competition

It's a long story, its a winding journey. But both my boy, Fadhil and Anis, my girl managed to excel in their presentation. Anis got the 1st place. Fahil, second. But I still think (many of the audience has the same feeling)that fadhil should get the 1st prize. He was incredabily outstanding! He presented the horror story entitled the Bloody Nek Nak. The room was very quiet when he presented his story. I know that people were 100% paying attention to his story.

To tell the truth, I was a bit sceptical about Anis. She changed the story last minute.
I was worried but I knew the her story would be different, just like Fadhil's. It's a chinese story that I took from the internet. Anis, turned out to be an entertainer that day. The whole room filled with laughter when she was presenting the story. I knew she would get some place but i didn't expect her to get first.

I did some some homework before finding suitable stories for them. I gave them my collection of short stories books. I surfed the net for some information. It took weeks but the last two weeks nearly effected my personal life, my family.

A lots of things happened to me there including my birthday. I'll tell you later.
For now, it's good night....

The Brave One

I watched this movie with my hubby last night.And again..Jodie Foster at her best. But most of all its the song played in the movie when Foster was remembering her dead fiance. It's soothing but haunting. Here's the lyrics.

"Answer"

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind

(Sarah McLachlan
