Dah hujung bulan

Begitu pantas masa berlalu. Hari ni dah 31 Mei 2008 dan esok dah masuk bulan baru dalam tahun 2008. Apa agaknya aktiviti waktu cuti kawan-kawan?? Keputusan peperiksaan pun belum diumumkan.

Bandar Baru Bangi tempat yang indah. Waktu cuti memberi kesempatan untuk saya berkunjung ke majlis ilmu terutamanya di Surau An-Nur dan Surau As-Sobah. Sekurang-kurangnya dapat menimba mutiara-mutiara ilmu yang dapat dijadikan modal untuk disampaikan semasa semester baru bermula.

Yang paling istimewa pada malam kelmarin saya berpeluang untuk bertemu dengan 'ustaz online' yag popular iaitu Ustaz Hasrizal Abdul Jamil @ Saiful Islam. Ini adalah pertama kali saya dapat bertemu secara bersemuka dan mendengar kuliah beliau setelah sekian lama hanya membaca buah fikiran melalui laman web.klik sini

Alhamdulillah beliau membawa bersama buku terbaru karangan beliau iaitu Aku Terima Nikahnya. Buku tersebut amat sukar untuk diperolehi di kedai buku. Menurut Saiful Islam buku tersebut masih belum diedarkan kerana kekurangan stok dan buku yang berada di tangan saya sudah memasuki cetakan yang kedua. Kesempatan membeli buku dan berjumpa dengan pengarangnya membolehkan saya untuk mendapatkan tandangan. Bukan apa sekadar tanda ingatan bahawa ianya satu pertemuan akibat minat yang sama - ILMU.

Poems

I still remember some of the sentence in this poem. If I not mistaken, I won third place during the English week by reciting this poem. This poem motivates me at that time. I share it with you guys. Check the Poem and Short Stories book that used by the form 5 students.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference

Done...

The experience for the past three days really teach me something. It is not easy task to be a fasilitator. Remember my previous post?-It's not easy to motivate others.

Me and my friend, Ashraf was given the responsibility to fasilitate group 27 which formed by eight form three students (6 girls and 2 boys) from SMK Tun Hussein Onn, Kluang. My first expectation was so high because I thought that secondary school students are easier to handle than the little kids. But then it was the other way around. To gain their confidence towards the fasilitator was very challenging. The interaction seems like you're doing business with machine. A question reply by a word. Fullstop!!!

Second day was better. The students starting to give positive respond. I'm questioning them regarding their personal problems plus about their study. From the feedback I've shared my experince throughout my school years. I saw some progress in them. The sharing process was successful (I think).

This programme also made me realise that I've to learn more to be excellent fasilitator. I observed that other fasilitator are more creative and have extra credit in controlling the students. Hope that this experienced can broad my knowledge in motivating peoples.

To all the students - Saiful, Soon, Tan, Nurain, Umaimah, Sayfiqa, Nursayfiqa and Nuraishah. Siapa kami?

Baktisiswa 08

It's in the mid semester holiday mood but I'm still in UTHM. Starting from today untill 11 May 2008, I will be one of the manpower of 'Baktisiswa Akademik' held in the campus. This programme's objective is to motivate school student's to improve their academic skills. Four schools will take part which are SK Tengku Mahmod 1, SK Sg Tongkang, SM Tun Hussein Onn and SM Sains Johor.

It is not easy to motivate peoples. We have to motivate ourself first.
