This was the last week before the Mid-Year Exam 2010. All classes were having revision as I had complete all topics for 1st semester 2010 in time. Worksheets and power-points were prepared to close the gap as revision. At the same time to remind students where were they 'now'. What should they need to do if they couldn't anwer the revision questions set.
Wishing them all the best.

Very happy to receive all the sec3NA & sec 4N—thru train students of coursework this week.
In other words, all students submitted at least two processes (3N2 /3N3) and 3 processes (4N2/4N3); included the 2 students who had left school. In fact, when I ‘chased/talked to them one-to-one, their attitude was good, no defiance. Only when they were in front of the class, they tend to be mischievous—I understand that they are teenagers! , ‘Face’ to them were so important. But if they were rude & destructive, I must discipline them so they will LEARN the right way/ path.

All sec 1NA & Express classes as well as my 2NT were having their Mid-Year Practical Examination this week. It was conducting fluently. All students did well. I can feel that they did practice at home. Some of them consulted their family members as well as maid. As students were given recipe/s one week before. They were tested: table management, time management & manipulation.
Examinations & tests are to find out what they have learnt, where are they now. At the same time, to encourage them to revise & recall what they have learnt. Also testing their creative & thinking skills.
So we achieved. They learned. We move onto the right track!
What should I need to do next? Have a good plan.

This is a great event of every year. We must practice the 3R (Respect, Responsible & Resilience) as well as co-operative and harmony. We support one another; do the right thing at the right time. To tolerate one another’s mistakes made. We have to work as a team. Guiding & working together with the students to make this event a succeed one.
Together, we made it.

I was deployed as the Concert co-ordinator for School Achievement Day in December 2009.
Immediately, I consulted the OIC as well as my closest partner in January 2010. At the same time, I met all the performing Art groups teachers-in-charge informing them to prepare good items for this important occasion. In February, I got synopsis for CO & Band except Dance, Choir & Drama. All these synopsis must be handed to MC. At the beginning of March, all synopsis collected except Drama. I worked out a table with all information/ particulars collected for ALL. This is to ensure all involved know what is happening and are not in the dark.
At the last stage, it’s time to hand-over to the 1st in-charge of concert. I’ll support her at backstage, to ensure all performers report and ready at the backstage 10 minutes before their performance. I learned a lot from this post / task assignment to me.

I revised the 3N SOW for T2 W1. I realized that most of the students could master 2 different skills in one lesson, I decided to let them learned only one method of cake-making in this week.
It worked, almost all students mastered the whisking method and presented a well done Swiss Roll. At the same time, I shared with them other variations of this cake-making. In other words, they still learned 2 or more dishes.
Most importantly, students learned happily. 2 students were absent on Wednesday, they asked for make-up session—1st time.
I feedback / called their parents to praise the students (J & J ) from 3N3. They were very when they heard this comments feedback to them.
For 2nd lesson, they will learn another method—creaming method.
I will/must ‘stretch’ them to meet the standard of GCE according to their abilities later.

There was a girl stayed back after lesson, I gave her a personal coaching on 'Research'. After 'Q & As' / and my explanation, she understands better and did a correct research on 'Teenagers'. Both of us were so happy. We learn, we gain.
And also 2 boys from 3N3 stayed back to do their 'Task Analysis'. they were always not paying attention when I explained/fercilated the whole class during lessons. They were quite distructive. And worst, one of them absent himself for most of the lessons without reason. I was so happy that they were willing to stay back after school. I told them, they may not awarded any mark for this process--TA (SA1). Still they stayed back & listened to me. End of the session, they managed to produce a simple table-form of 'TA' as well as one para of explanation & priority.
We learned, we gained. Keep it up!
I always belief: As long as we don't give-up. We surely gain something for ourselves.
