Hey teachers! This is something I wished existed on the internet since a long long time ago... The SPM English literature component (2010) in plain text for easy cut & paste! I've even typed out the 2 short stories! This will be very useful for setting exam papers... Enjoy!! Say thank you & remember to share if you find this useful!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~

liulian runtuh oh! Dear English language teachers! If you're like me, as in you have no clue what your CPT results are, I have good news for you! You can now check if you've got C1 or C2 here  (http://apps.moe.gov.my/abpg/cpt/)!! If you've got a A1-B2, your name will not appear in the list on the site. This website was released early this week & already on the very day itself, this jungle teacher has received more than 5 notifications about it! BEFORE 8AM!!! Talk about an affective & efficient cascading model for the dissemination of knowledge amongst education professionals! I've even had a strange lady spam my FB page for me to reveal my results! Thankfully, I removed the unsightly posts & will satisfy her curiosity here tonight!

最基本的 要在她身边 陪着她抱着她 然她感到安全 回她的眼神 深深的吻 轻轻的抚摸 天天有幸福的笑容 她太完美太棒 长得好看利害打扮 思想成熟明白我心 在一起像梦中之由 但感情之间 有大海有梦想 一天又一天 过得不安心 付出不了 最基本的 已得不了 宇宙之甜 虽然很想她 很需要她 只好坚强 不管心里多难过 只好把笼里的鸟放弃 让她自由的飞 她开心我也开心 真心希望她会找到幸福 放弃了爱 虽然受伤害 只好擦干眼泪 抱着希望慢慢向前走 不想放。真的很不想。。。

This is a story I want to share because I think there are hundreds if not thousands of teachers out there who are working very hard but getting little or no recognition for their work. My disappointment is nothing compared to theirs. I'm lucky to at least have an audience & a platform for sharing. It's good that I don't get everything because it keeps me humble & fighting for what is right. This blog post is dedicated to the teachers out there who are slaving it out for their students & loving it while at the same time alienated from the system which is supposed to reward them. They are fabulous enough to flip their hair aside haughtily at such ignorance & remember what is important to them. As you know from a previous blog post, I applied for GC. The purpose of this award was to recognise truly exemplary teachers. However, not all who are awarded are exemplary. I wanted to change this disappointing fact so I made my first attempt this year. If I was su...

A few months ago, I caught a glimpse of an impressive piece of anime art a student of mine drew in his journal. I complimented him on it & he was delighted. Pretty soon he was showing me other pieces of really impressive art he did on his own. I felt really impressed & touched that he would share this with me. I feel that he is like a little spark in the middle of nowhere. I never expected such artistic talent from my jungle school students. This experience left me wondering how I could help students with such talents showcase it & get it out there into the world for everyone to enjoy. I want him to develop his talent, be proud of it & use it to do good for the community. An idea came to me as I was discussing an English Language Newspaper for my school (will blog about this very soon) with my selected newspaper dream team. I thought of including a hand-drawn comic strip in the monthly newspaper. As I discussed the idea with the newspaper team, they told me that the...
