Hola... It's a month of October already. 9 months passed by in this year of 2014. I have been trying something new this year. It is about a social networking business. I have never been so lucky to be the first runner of this business among my fellows. The entire concept is simple. You advertise your product on this website, share this opportunity to your friends and earn profit from it. I manage to make some money from it and it was awesome!
Well, to draw more people to join this business, I fully utilized my Facebook account. I publicized my bonus statement to encourage people and stimulate their curiosity about this business. Yes, it's working. However, one important thing I genuinely learned from this, I am not supposed to just simply exposed those monetary matters publicly. People had this sort of thought that you are now in a good standing of your financial affordability. I don't want to talk openly about this because I aware it will humiliate those people. But I hardly want to emphasize on one thing, please... Keep your promise! Don't ever promise to people if you can't accomplish it. That's the main idea of my entry this time. Hasta pronto....

Dear readers, those were the days when I finally found my Mr. Right. God had prepared our destiny. If she or he is meant to be with you, it doesn’t
matter how far you’re separated with your Mr.Right, someday, somehow, you shall
be unified together by God. Just believe
in Him. And to me the greatest gifts
that God had given to us are our two cute sons, deo and cj. I am truly blessed to have these wonderful gifts;
three loveable persons in my life. I
will love them until the very last breath of my life. They are the reasons for me to keep on living
and always wanted to be better than I was before. Thank you Lord.Labels: MYSELF

PKKTMC Humo
There were 4 of us competing for the humorous speech. Mdm Chow shared with us what the difference between men and ladies while shopping. It was really true and originally based on her experience. Well done to her. For Adrian, it’s very funny when he started his speech with a song from Jimmy Palikat entitled Tanak Kampung. His speech title was “A modern rubber tapper village boy”. That was quite funny too. Last but least, the contestant was Hatimi Mudin from JKM. I really impressed with her progress. She manage to deliver her speech humorously even though that was her first attempt. Congratulations to all the participant.
For the evaluation contest, we also have 4 contestants. All of them did a very good and constructive evaluations. Well, the test speaker Chicha really impressed the audiences with her speech title “Who is in charge”. The speech was all about how to become a good leader and not a boss. I love how Chicha delivered her speech. Really funny and she really absorbed what Toastmaster thought her. She use her vocal variety to emphasize the messages.
Okay, here is the winner for the contest.
Humorous Speech Contest:
Champion: Ehemmmm….myself..(V____________V)
1st runner up: Mdm Chow from JPA
Evaluation Contest:
Champion: Mdm Chow from JPA
1st runner up: Alester G.Jakuil …
Hehe…Conratulations to the winners… Both of the champions will represent PKKTMC for the Area K level contest which will be held on the 7th of October 2011 at the same venue which is at Auditorium, ULPL, PKK.
Mmm…I hope I can do better. Need to exaggerate more and use some props to add the impact of my speech. Some of the feedback I got from the audiences, they said my story was really interesting and humor . I really appreciated their comments. Okay…see you then…adios..

I am a Toastmaster!
Finally, our English Enhancement Program (EEP) was officially ended. I must thanked Mr. Chin for giving us(Eta and me) an opportunity to join the program even though the program is actually for new lecturers. I have attended similar course in Politeknik as well and we called it EEC (Effective English Communication) organised by JPA. Through the program I was able to get to know new Politeknik staff especially the Director’s daughter. Mmm...this saying is really true, “Don’t judge the book by its cover”. Previously, we assumed that the Director’s daughter was a snobbish person, but actually she doesn’t. She is really friendly and generous with her smile.
Mm..the flow of the program was quite boring on the 1st and 2nd day. But on the 3rd day, I began to feel the excitement because we had a public speaking session. And to make it more interesting, there will be an award waiting for the best speaker. All participants were given 3 minutes to deliver their speech. I really like this part because I can show to them the skills that Toastmaster had taught me all this while. This is one of the reason why we(Eta and me) volunteered ourselves to join this course at a very first place. I do not mean to look down on the other participants; I knew that most of them were very good in English especially the Director’s daughter and one of her friend. Both of them have been studied in overseas once and it was undeniable that both of them speak very fluently in English. But, after all, we took this as a challenge because we will never have this opportunity to speak in front of non-toastmaster member.
I choose PPSMTI as my topic. I choose this topic simply because of it relates to all lecturers who attended the course. My speech goes like this:
“I was reading a book last few weeks and really attracted to this quote, “It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness”. There was a deep meaning behind it. This is how I am going to relate it with my daily life especially in my profession as a lecturer. I realized that, by hook or by crook by now we’re supposed to conduct our lecture in English.
To be plain, for me it is a very challenging task. I often seek for excuses why I can’t really implement this method and those excuses were most likely blaming the management for simply commanding us to change the way we’re teaching now drastically, or blaming the students because they don’t understand English rather than try to make small effort to improve myself first. There are questions that keep buzzing in my ears? How to start? Where to start? Do I have the boldness? What if the students laugh at me? And etc..
However, there are 3 things that made me change my view. Firstly, Politeknik students need help. If you as a lecturer couldn’t help them then who else in the outside world could help them? We need to transform ourselves first before we can transform our student. In future, I’m sure we would be proud of them for being able to compete with the University students.
Secondly, the reference books are mostly written in English. Why do we need to double our task? We can convey the knowledge directly to the student without translating it. If we conduct the lesson in Malay than we have to translate the whole books in order to make the lecture more effective. Why do we need to do so if we have an option to choose? Ask yourself?
Thirdly, it’s my personal gain. I’ve set in mind that by conducting the lecture in English, it will benefit me as well as the students themselves. I can enhance and improve my communication skill where as the students could experience the new environment of their lecture class. Love your profession. Let your passion drive your profession. So it is a win win situation.
What I’m going to emphasize here is that I’m urging my fellow intelligent friends to light a candle by improving ourselves and enlighten others especially our students. A man was picking up starfish on the beach and threw them into the sea. Another man approached him and asked, “There are thousand of starfish here, and how are you going to return them all to their place?” The other man smiled and answered, “At least, I’ve made a difference to this one…” and continued throwing the starfish into the sea. So, why are we here, it is just simply because we are the chosen one…For me, I can. Therefore, I will…how about you. Thank you…”
Surprisingly, I received an awesome response from the audiences. Marcus, one of the facilitator then told me that he does not have comment at all. He said that I just prove to them that I am a Toastmaster indeed. Thanks God, I did well. In the evening, he asked for my name and my IC number. Eta said, “Daily, I am sure that you will be the best speaker”. Well, let me shorten how the story goes...During the closing on Thursday evening, Eta announced (she was the emcee of the day) the best speaker. “The best speaker award goes to.....jeng jeng jeng...( My heart was unsettled and I heard my name was uttered by some of the audience)...Nor Haniza Bte Mustafar Kamar”. Mmm...at that moment, it was really hard for me to control my face expression because of my high expectation. I could see how proud the Director while giving the certificate to his own daughter. It was a lesson for me. I acted that I was not disturbed by the result and I went to meet Nor Haniza and congratulated her. I told her, she deserved to receive the award than me. She smiled and said to me that she was not trained in Toastmaster and admitted that there was a slight different between a Toastmaster member and non-Toastmaster member.
During the evening tea after the closing....Eta says “They took into account these 4 days to determine who is the best speaker” She told me that simply because she realized what was going on. I nodded. It was over then. We then went to the Seminar Room to take our bags and modules. Inside the room, we met with Marcus. Our final conversation with Marcus was really uplifted my spirit again and clarified everything. “Daily, I have something to tell you...Actually you’re the one who won the best speaker award but since you joined this course is counted as your KUDAPAN course only so you’re disqualified. The best speaker award is given to the 2nd best speaker” So in the end, we achieved our mission, to prove that we are the Toastmasters...END..

May your soul rest in peace...Mr.Herman..
Life is really unpredictable. Yesterday, you hang out with friends, laughing out loud or study group together. Today, suddenly, you receive a call and someone telling you that one of your friend has gone…do you believe it? She or he must be joking…
Well, I am very lazy to update this blog. But seem there were many things happen recently, I think it’s time to jot a few lines here all over again.
My late officemate MR. HERMAN J.PREMUS as well as my course mate in UMS, how on earth he gone so early. He is just in his 40’s. Being close to him for at least 2 years in UMS and almost 7 years in Politeknik, definitely has carved the unforgettable memories with him. If I don’t have friends to accompany me to have my lunch, I will go with him. Every time when I took a lift, I couldn’t resist my words to complaint his VIGO, full of his TAEKWAN-DO and ROBOCON stuff, but he never upset. He will tell me that he have no time to tidy and wash his VIGO. After that, he will start smoking and I will start counting how many cigarettes he could finished within an hour. Believe me or not, he will smoke for at least 3 or 4 times.
Last semester, we were in one group in Technopreneur Subject. To be plain, I was really mad at him last semester. We have 4 group assignments and he didn’t even contribute his idea neither help us at all. So, after discussed with another group member, we decided to ask him to pay us. I told my group member, if he refuse to pay, I don’t’ want to be his group member next semester. With hesitation, we talk to him face to face and to my surprise, he agreed, he paid us RM50 each. May be I was a bit selfish during that time, but I couldn’t bear it because I was almost crazy cracking my head to complete the tasks given. It was not an easy task where you can search it easily in the internet, but that was the real thing, the real business plan and website. That’s why, I felt very dissatisfied and unfair.…
But…it was a history…a history that will never being written again. Life is too short to hate somebody(Eta’s quote). It’s better to forgive rather than being overwhelmed by guiltiness. I never hate him…it was just a spontaneous reaction and feeling expression towards him during that time. But, it doesn’t remain, it flew with the wind...I hope he could understand this situation even if he’s gone to another world…
Last Tuesday, after we received a call from the admin, we went to SMC instantly. I don’t want to accept the fact until I see the body before my very eyes. And, it was really heart-breaking to know the truth that he was gone. There is nothing that we can do as a human being but to pray for his soul. May his soul rest in peace. Good bye MR.HERMAN J.PREMUS…will miss to argue with you…L

Tips for mothers
Deo will soon know how to walk. Now he has started walking, step by step. 3 weeks ago, he started with his first two steps…and 2 weeks ago, he was able to add on a few more steps and to my surprise, yesterday Deo has walked for as far as 2 meters. It was a tremendous progress and I am very impatience to see him walk by his own. Sometimes, Deo fall down a few times and cried but it doesn’t prevent him to stand up again and start stepping forward. I must learn from Deo…I mean learn from babies how they struggle to overcome the fear of being fallen by learning on how to walk properly until they finally succeed. Deo starts to imitate our actions especially the body gestures and our face expressions. Pasted here is a general knowledge that I want to share with you especially for those Mothers out there. I understand, sometimes we do not know how to speak with our little baby especially when choosing a right word. It is a very useful tips, let’s try it together..
You can use these everyday phrases to instill confidence, self-respect, and thoughtfulness in your children.
- Thank you.It's important to acknowledge your child's efforts to help you or others. You might say: "Thanks for helping me look for that missing sock" or "Thanks for setting the table; I got the salad made while you were doing that."
- Tell me more.Words like these show your child that you are listening and that you would like to hear more about what's on her mind. "Tell me more" encourages conversation without passing judgment or giving immediate advice – two responses that discourage further communication from your child.
- You can do it.Your expression of confidence in your child's ability to do many things without your help is important. As your child grows older, there will be many times when your encouragement will mean the difference between his giving up on a challenging task or seeing it through.
- How can I help?Let your child know you are willing and available to help her accomplish a particular task that may be difficult for her to manage on her own. You might say: "I think you can read that story by yourself now. Let me know if you need help with a new word." As your child takes on projects in school, encourage her to think of specific steps that are necessary to complete a project. You both can decide which tasks your child can handle on her own and which ones she'll need help with.
- Let's all pitch in.A child is never too young to learn that cooperation and team effort make many jobs easier and speedier – and often more fun: "Let's all pitch in and finish raking the leaves so we can go in and bake cookies," or "Let's all pitch in and clean up the kitchen or we'll miss the movie." Family activities and group chores can develop into pleasant rituals that enrich a child's life and create fond memories.
- How about a hug?Don't just tell your child you love him – show him. Research indicates that young children deprived of physical touch and displays of affection often fail to thrive. As children grow older, they vary in the ways they like us to show affection. Some love to be cuddled, while others prefer a quick hug or pat on the shoulder. It's important to be aware of what your child enjoys most at a particular age.
- Please.After all these years, "please" is still a classic. When you ask a favor of anyone – including children – this "magic word" acknowledges that you are asking for a behavior that will help you and/or make you happy. (P.S.: Don't forget to say "thank you" when the job is done.)
- Good job!Good for you. Self-respect and self-confidence grow when your child's efforts and performance are rewarded. Whenever possible, give your child lots of praise. Be sure your praise is honest and specific. Focus on your child's efforts and progress, and help her identify her strengths.
- It's time to..."It's time to get ready for bed," or "do homework," or "turn off the TV." Young children need structure in their daily lives to provide a measure of security in an often insecure world. It is up to you as a parent to establish and maintain a workable schedule of activities, always remembering that children benefit from regular mealtimes and bedtimes.
- I love you.Everyone needs love and affection and a feeling of acceptance and belonging. We can't assume that children know and understand our love for them unless we tell them. Letting your child know that you love him (and showing him with countless hugs) is important not only in toddlerhood, but also as he gets older.
Words for Special Circumstances
- I'm sorry.Parents need to acknowledge their own mistakes and express regret whenever they cause their child unhappiness or distress. "I'm sorry I got soap in your eyes," or "I'm sorry I wasn't listening; tell me again," or "I'm sorry I can't read any more stories to you; I have to make a phone call now." By expressing your sincere regret, you are showing your child that you are being considerate of her feelings and providing her with a model of good behavior as well.
- No."No, don't do that; you might hurt someone," or "No, we don't behave that way," or "No, we don't have enough money to buy that." When parents have a hard time saying 'no' to their children, these children may grow up without knowing how to respond to limits. Parents can provide children with some freedom of choice (for instance, let your child pick out his own outfit, or let him decide what he'd like to eat for lunch), but be prepared to set boundaries.
- That's enough."That's enough TV," or candy, or roughhousing, or arguing. This phrase sets limits and paves the way for your child to develop a sense of self-control. Sometimes a "time-out" period is necessary if your limits have been reached and your child isn't responding to the verbal message you are trying to send.
- How do you suppose she feels?Asking this question provides an opportunity for your child to consider the effects of her actions on another person, and it gives her the chance to develop empathy toward others. When you and your child read stories or watch TV shows together, look for opportunities to talk about the feelings of others.
- This isn't working. Can you think of another way?Considering alternative ways of behaving in difficult situations is one of the steps of problem solving – an important skill that is useful throughout life. Your response to problems that arise in daily life, at home, or at work provides a model of behavior for your child.

FOCUS...FOCUSSSS
After we manage to enter the lab, with no doubt and suspicious feeling at all, I wrote in the ‘buku peminjaman kunci’, ECAD and I took ECAD’s key. I rushed to MK2 and tried to unlock the door. I tried to unlock the 1st door which is located far beside the student’s toilet but it doesn’t match. I went to the next door, middle door, try to unlock it but it gives me the same results. And then I walked quickly toward the last door hoping to open it, but still I couldn’t open it. Still unsatisfied with the result, I made a 2nd round, WHY the door can’t be unlocked? I called the last person who entered the lab yesterday, and the person said no problem with the key at all. It was almost 8.30 am, I asked my student to go to BKE 3 and waited for me there while I’m trying to figure out what was wrong. After trying another round to unlock the door, I gave up. I gave up because I don’t know what was actually wrong with the key.
Finally, I went to BKE 3...I told my student, the class is canceled. Wah...they were so happy. I asked them to do the assignment that I gave to them earlier. Disappointed with the incident, I walked slowly to the Project Lab to return the key. So, I have to fill in the “buku peminjaman” that I have returned the key. Do you guys know, what’s wrong with the key? THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE KEY….IT WAS ME WHO TOOK THE KEY WRONGLY. After realizing that I was soooo (I don’t know the appropriate terms for it…Forgetful? Careless? Hasty? U help me to name it) It was totally beyond my control…seems like physically I was there, but my mind was somewhere else? When I took the key, I know it’s not the MK2’s key but why I wonder why I didn’t notice it earlier…
So…last week I learned something. I need to concentrate and more focus in everything that I want to do to avoid such thing to be happen again….(^__^)
