Harry Potter.......
what a magnificance storytelling that reach out through the world....
The sentence in the novel was easy to understand for young age.
It not only the story that struck my mind but also how Rowling had delivered it was interesting.

Why am I have this feeling?
Feeling so guilty
The steps I made
Last time I felt
no very ease to breath
with all the work around me
I hope I don't feel like this
on the other day and
never again

Cinta Fansuri

Hari ini aku masih lagi membaca novel Cinta Fansuri yang ditulis oleh A.Samad Said. Ada sedikit unsur komedi di dalamnya yang terkadang membuat aku ketawa sendirian. Nasiblah aku masih keseorangan pada masa ini sehingga kawan serumah akan kembali dalam masa dua minggu lagi.
Sebelum ni aku dah baca hasil karyanya Keledang dan Fatehpur Sikri........yang kekadang aku terasa seperti membaca novel Inggeris.
Sehari dua ni aku sibuk dengan tugas. Terpaksa berkejaran masa.

Why should we teach dictionary skills?

There are several reasons why we should teach dictionary skills.

It will give students greater control over their own learning, and shift the responsibility of learning to the student.
We are not born knowing how to use dictionaries well, thus students need to gain the knowledge and skills to get what they can from the dictionary effectively.
It helps students to disentangle information in the dictionary by making things explicit to them.
Dictionaries naturally generate a great deal of thinking about meaning and language.
If they can use dictionaries well, there will be minimal classroom disruption because teachers can rely on students to get the correct meaning.
Dictionaries can provide useful support not simply when teachers are in doubt about something but when they want students to confirm their own suppositions about something in English.
Dictionaries can serve as a focus for communication and classroom interaction.
Dictionary training can help students explore personal preferences and learning styles and may also lead students to new modes of study.

Dictionaries are not only a tool for private or individual learning problems, but they can also become a springboard to all sorts of other communicative and interactive activities. By exploiting dictionaries as a source of interaction, we can help students develop their confidence as dictionary users and as language learners. An important benefit of this is that students will be exposed to a great deal of language that will help them experience and explore it.

Many teachers understand the need to teach dictionary skills, but nevertheless do not teach their students how to use a dictionary. These are some of the reasons for this.

Many teachers assume that the students already will know how to use an English-English dictionary effectively because they believe they can already use a dictionary well in Japanese.
Some teachers are afraid that students will resist an English-English dictionary, and stay dependent on the bilingual dictionary and feel that their efforts will be wasted. Convincing a student to learn to use an English-English dictionary takes a lot of time and commitment on the part of the teacher and the student.
Dictionary work is not part of the syllabus.
Dictionary work is not considered interesting.
Teachers do not have a clear understanding of what is in the dictionary or how to introduce an English-English dictionary.
Students do not all have the same English-English dictionary so it makes training problematic.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,

"O" means only that she's growing old,

"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,

"H" is for her heart of purest gold,

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together,

they spell "MOTHER",

A word that means the world to me.

Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

To all mothers in this world.

What is a book

A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an e-book.
Books may also refer to a literature work, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines,journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature.
In novels, a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, etc).
A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, a bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm.
A store where books are bought and sold is a bookstore or bookshop. Books can also be borrowed from libraries or obtained for reading through the practice of Book Crossing.

A Butterfly’s Lesson
”One day, a small oppening
appeared on a cocoon;
a man sat and watched
for the butterfly for
several hours as
it struggled to force
its body through
that little hole.


Then, it seems
to stop making
any progress.
It appeared as if
it had gotten as far as
it could and it
could not go any further.

So the man decided
to help the butterfly:
he took a pair of scissors
and opened the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily.
But it had a withered body,
it was tiny and shrivelled wings.

The man continued
to watch because
he expected that,
at any moment,
the wings would open,
enlarge and expand,
to be able to support
the butterfly’s body,
and become firm.
Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent
the rest of its life crawling
around with a withered body
and shrivelled wings.
It never was able to fly.
What the man,
in his kindness and his goodwill
did not understand was that
the restricting cocoon
and the struggle required
for the butterfly to get
through the tiny opening,
were God’s way of forcing fluid
from the body of the butterfly
into its wings, so that it
would be ready for flight
once it achieved its freedom
from the cocoon.
Sometimes, struggles
are exactly what
we need in our life.
If God allowed us
to go through our life
without any obstacles,
it would cripple us.
We would not be
as strong as we could
have been.
Never been able to fly.
I asked for Strength...
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom...
And God gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity...
And God gave me a Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage…..
And God gave me obstacles to overcome.
I asked for Love...
And God gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors...
And God gave me Opportunities.
“I received nothing I wanted...
But I received everything I needed."
Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and be convince that you can overcome them.

BESTARIKAH KITA

Bestari.Apa yang anda faham tentang bestari?
Apa yang dimaksudkan dengan bestari dari sudut pandangan saya sendiri.
Manusia boleh saja menjadi bestari seandainya dia dapat mengaplikasikan kemahiran, fikiran dan apa yang telah dia pelajari ke dalam kehidupan.
Tapi apa yang saya faham melalui kelas yang saya hadiri pada masa ini adalah di mana seseorang dapat melakukan sesuatu dengan bantuan dari pengetahuan yang sedia ada pada dirinya.

Sebenarnya saya dah pening ni duduk kat sini.Pening dan semabur.
Pagi ni hujan renyai di sini.Setelah berminggu saya tak melihat titis hujan.Alhamdulillah akhirnya. Rahmat dari Mu ya ALLAH tidak pernah menghampakan hambaMu di mana jua di muka bumi ini.

Kali pertama aku membaca novelnya, aku kira ia amat menarik hati.
Suatu hari,bila aku ke perpustakaan awam aku jumpa dengan karyanya yang belum aku baca.Novel yang mengisahkan pengorbanan seorang isteri yang tidak dihargai oleh suami.Merantau ke Deli suatu karya yang patut dibaca oleh semua pasangan yang sudah atau bakal menjalinkan ikatan sebagai suami dan isteri. Moga dapat pengajaran untuk melalui hidup berliku bersama orang yang disayangi

Dunia
Usiamu semakin hari semakin tua
Pelbagai peristiwa telah kau saksikan
Pelbagai ragam manusia
Yang semakin hari berubah
semakin ganas kurasa
Kekejaman di merata-rata
tak jemukah kau saksikan
Kutahu kau tiada daya
Hanya dapat melihat
Semua itu kuasa tuhan
Yang menciptamu.
