Stones in kidney

My colleague complained of pain in his kidney yesterday.

After examinations, he is confirmed to have stones in his kidney.

Why there are stones in our body?

It may be caused by the internal structure of our kidney which can accumulate ions.

It may be caused by taken in too much salts in our foods.

May be ..........

Sorry, I am not a doctor.

Drinking three litres of water a day will help to rid of the stones from our body.

Water is good for us.

Why trial results have improved?

I am happy to hear news from my students that their trial SPM results have improved compared to their mid-year exams results.

I am always curious to know their methods of study at home.

These are their methods:

Revise and revise.

Solving problems.

Writing answers.

Asking questions.

Open Book Tests

Today is the 1st day of school after the 10 days of Raya Holidays.
They are only 5 in my lower 6 class.
2 were absent and 1 was on medical leave.

I told them that an evaluation test will be conducted to check their understanding of Chemistry.
They refused on the grounds that they are very busy and has no time to do the preparation for the test.

So I inquired the method to help them in Chemistry.
They suggested an open book test.

Their suggestion is quite acceptable.

Open book test can help them to do reference and to check whether they are familiar with the contents in the books.

I will do it for them.

Pulau Ketam

I am going for a day's tour to Pulau Ketam tomorrow.

The pulau is a fishing island. A small village. Dirty. No tourist attractions.

Just curious.

Some say the sea food there is tasty.

I wonder.

How to prepare for the year end exams?

Read our notes.

Review our discussions.

Think again about our questions.

Solve problems in reference books.

Look again our SPM past years questions.

Ask and consult me.

What Exams?

I receive a call to attend a course in KL at the end of October.

I am asked to prepare a research paper on action research done in the class.

Besides, I need to prepare a public speech also on internal and external motivations.

ai........

You see I got exams also.

Please help me.

Give me your opinions about whether internal motivation is more lasting and important than external motivation.

Avoidable Accident

I was having char koay teo at the stall opposite Radha restaurant just now.

Suddenly a car turned into the road to the stall so quick that it knocked down a motorist heading to KL.

I saw the whole episode. The car driver was at fault. He should n't have driven so fast without giving any signal to the motorist.

They quarrelled. They argued. They bargained about the compensation for the damage done to the motorist.

So I hope that we will drive our cars and motors with high attention and better care.

Be watchful on the road.

I have changed

Teaching is my life.

I always intend to imporvise my teaching methods in the classes.

I always try my best to use variety of ways in imparting skills and knowledge to my students under my charge.

When I am younger, my teaching is only limited to materials in text books.

I seldom used other materials.

My skills was limited.

I just wanted to complete the specified syllabus only.

I didn't bother about my students' learning pace.

i didn't care about their emotional development.

Now, I have changed.

I will try my best to help all students to understand skills and knowledge imparted on them.

So questions and answers sessions are my way.

I like to pose questions to them hoping that they will think further about problems given.

They will apply learned knowledge in solving the problems.

They will not depend on memorising alone.

Be proactive to ask in classes.

Non-attachemnet

Happy Raya holidays this friday.

I would like to share with you about 'non-attachment' in our daily practice.

It means we should not be attached to our likes and dislikes.

We should let go our stubbornness.

We should let go our anger.

We should let go our laziness.

We should let go our wicked thought.

We should be harmless in our actions.

We should be good in our speech.

We should let go our ill-feelings.

Bocor again

A few students told me that the trial papers bocor again.

The sms received by them showed the actual questions in the trial papers.

I got nothing to comment.

I am always against bocor soalan .

My reminder to students :

Be yourself.

Never be cheated by the unscrupulous teachers or tutors.

They will destroy your future.

They will ruin your mind.

Co-curricular Marks

Co-curricular marks is one of the important criteria when applying for scholarships or intake into public universities.

It is assessed based on 3 types of activities as follows.

1. Uniform societies

2.Clubs or societies

3. Games

Marks are given based on our participations and performance in the above activities.

So aware of this.

Be participative and proactive.

Poor 2009 PMR Trial Results

I would like to share with you about our district 2009 PMR trial results.

SMK School % Passes GPS

Tengku Abdullah 97.62 1.90

Mahmud 41.09 3.39

Tengku Kudin 23.96 3.79

SMK Mahmud is my school. It is already 101 years in history since 1908. It has gained high respect from the locals.

The results don't show the excellence in academic.

Sad.

My Principal had given a detail analysis in the morning assembly today.

His analysis includes the following.

1. The result shows that our students did not put in enough effort in study.

2. It is not racial biased because SMK Tersang did give a better result than Mahmud and Chung Ching.

3. It is not affected by community environment whether in kampung or bandar.

He said the only factor that produced such a bad result is the attitudes of students.

Lazy and don't pay much emphasis on exams.

I pray that all my students are not lazy.

I pray that all my students will strive for excellence in all public exams : PMR ,SPM and STPM.

It is about 64 days before the 2009 SPM and STPM exams.

My students should be hard working in preparing the exams.

They should be doing a lot of revisions.

They should be busy solving variety of problems.

I always advice them to be inqusitive and curious about any problems and questions in their revisions.

They must consult and ask their friends and techers for answers.

1. What is eletrochemical series?
