Quote 1 and 2 happen to be from one of my favourite TV shows:
Guess who said this and still get away with it alive? One doesn't have to agree with everyone he says but it's sure interesting, the stuff he says.
QUOTE 1
You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.
QUOTE 2
A: I just want to die with a little dignity.
B: There's no such thing! Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it! I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass... it's always ugly, always! You can live with dignity; you can't die with it!
QUOTE 3
The thing people forget is how good it can feel when you finally set secrets free. Whether good or bad, at least they're out in the open. And once your secrets are out in the open, you don't have to hide behind them anymore. The problem with secrets is even when you think you're in control, you're not.
Hint, hint: The shows revolve round hospitals.
Q: What's your favorite TV show?

a) Listen to the song and fill in the blanks. Once you're done you may check your answer by clicking on the link given below. What do the answers have in common?
b) What is your favourite advice? Would you recommend this song to a friend?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering experience…
I will dispense this advice now.
________ the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But ________ me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine.
________ about the future; or ________, but ________ that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.
________ one thing everyday that scares you
________
________ reckless with other people’s hearts,
________ people who are reckless with yours.
________
________ your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself.
________ the compliments you receive,
________ the insults;
if you succeed in doing this, ________ me how.
________ your old love letters,
________ your old bank statements.
________
________ guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.
________ plenty of calcium.
________ kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…
what ever you do, ________ yourself too much or ________ yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
________ your body,
________ it every way you can…
________ afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own..
________…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
________ the directions, even if you don’t follow them. ________ beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
________ to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.
________nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
________ that friends come and go, but for the precious few you
should hold on. ________ to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young.
________ in New York City once, but ________ before it makes you hard; ________
in Northern California once, but ________ before it makes you soft.
________.
________ certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders.
________ your elders.
________ anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.
________ too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.
________ careful whose advice you buy, but, ________ patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
But ________ me on the sunscreen…

A REMINDER!
Hullo there!
We have been reading your comments and posts on your reading entries with great interest. It's interesting to see the stuff you guys are interested in reading. In fact, we found out the sad news of Prof Randy Paunsch's passing from your comments. So, great work and keep it up.
However, there are a handful or perhaps several handful of students who are still maybe unclear of what we are supposed to write on when posting a comment on our reading entries. It is important to know that part of the reading entry requirement is for you to RELATE what you've read to YOUR OWN UNIQUE EXPERIENCES, or VIEWPOINT - whether you agree or disagree, et cetera.
Posting a comment in the 'Reading Entries' post is more than just informing others what you've read by providing the link, OR copying the article into your comment entry.
Also, it is preferable that the articles or reading materials you are reading are in English.
Thank you.
We have been reading your comments and posts on your reading entries with great interest. It's interesting to see the stuff you guys are interested in reading. In fact, we found out the sad news of Prof Randy Paunsch's passing from your comments. So, great work and keep it up.

QUOTES OF THE DAY
Here's a quote for Ramadan and the rest of your life:
Guess who said these gems of wisdom?
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.
Guess who said these gems of wisdom?
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

Ramadan Greetings to all!
It's that time of the Muslim calendar again and it's time to wish all Muslims a fruitful and wonderful Ramadan. It is a month for celebration, we say! We celebrate that with each passing day, we are better Muslims, that we did not fast in vain, that all our deeds and prayers are rewarded and answered. We pray that our 'ibadah' is accepted, and that we become better people and better servants of Allah SWT.
So upsy daisy, don't be lazy it's time to go to the Masjid.
Happy fasting and happy berbuka. Makan berpada2 ye! :)
Tell Me More about TELL ME MORE
Finally, the time has come for you to have a go at the language software we have in our labs. For students who have yet to give it a try, you will soon; but you will need to get your username and password from your respective lecturers. Your username depends on the course you are taking, the section you are in and the position you are on the attendance list (this last part depends on your GURU). So say for example, you are taking UHL2312, from section G18, and you are the 3rd student on the name list, your username should be UHL2312G18-S3. Your password will be provided by your respective lecturers as well.
Please be careful logging in as the username and password are case sensitive. Do note that the username and password are in ALLCAPS or UPPERCASE.
Once in, please click on the chosen level, in this case, it's either Advanced+ or Business+. You can choose to do any one first. Then click on the green check button, then choose the FREE TO ROAM mode, then validate by clicking on the green check button again.
You have been given a Tell Me More form for information on which activities to do, as well as to fill up once you have completed the activities. Remember you need to hand in this form in your portfolio at the end of the semester. We advise you to finish all activities first before attempting to re-do any of the activities.
If you are having problems with the PC, or the headphone and mic, please inform your lecturer so that your lecturer can report the problem to the lab manager.
Here are some troubleshooting advice:
1) If the PC you are using has a headphone that does not function, please do an activity that does not require the use of the headphone yet, e.g., Grammar Workshop. Grammar Workshop is the third icon after the HOME icon at the bottom left corner of your screen. Choose the relevant Grammar Workshop activity to do. Once done, trade PCs with a friend who has done the speaking and listening part.
2) Should you want to change PCs or go to another PC, please log out by clicking on 'change user account' instead of clicking on 'Quit TELL ME MORE'. If you simply quit the programme, chances are when you use the other PC, the remark that you are logged on on another PC will appear.
3) If at any time, the PC gets stuck, then you will need to turn it off and then on again. Same goes, if you can't get into TELL ME MORE, please restart the PC.
For YOU to COMMENT on:
Please answer all the questions.
1)What do you think of TELL ME MORE?
2)Have you used TELL ME MORE before this?
3)If yes, what did you think of it then? And what do you think of it now?
4)If no, what do you think of TELL ME MORE?
5)Is it easy to to navigate?
6)Do you think the activities help you to improve your English?
7)What have you learnt as a result of using TELL ME MORE?

FINAL PROJECT: Product Presentation
You have come near to the end of the course. For your final assessment, in your group of 4 or 5, unanimously choose ONE product to present on - preferably it's a product that is related to your field of study. Once you have all decided on your product, decide what each member should present on. Decide also which organization you'd like to have, e.g. spatial or chronological. Remember, it's only a 3-5 minute presentation per group member. So, please do not choose an object so complex that there is not enough time to present it. (Also, there'll be a Q&A session after the presentation.)
Once the product's decided, each member should prepare and write out a written report for submission from 15 - 19 September 2008 (depending on your lecturer). Although it is an individual assignment, the group leader should collect all the written assignments from each group member to be submitted as ONE.
In your group (if you have 4 members)*, let:
(1) student #1 write and present the INTRODUCTION,
(2) student #2 write and present the MAIN PART #1 and ITS MINOR PARTS (if any),
(3) student #3 write and present the MAIN PART #2 and ITS MINOR PARTS (if any), and
(4) student # 4 write and present the CONCLUSION (how product works etc. Please refer to your module).
*if you have 5 members,
(4) student #4 write and present the MAIN PART #3 and ITS MINOR PARTS (if any), and
(5) student #5 write and present the CONCLUSION.
or in extreme cases, 6 members,
(5) student #5 write and present the MAIN PART #4 and ITS MINOR PARTS (if any), and
(6) student #6 write and present the CONCLUSION.
This will be returned to you the week after. Then as a group, compile all the information and produce a pamphlet of the product to be submitted on the presentation day (1 pamphlet per group)
All sections must have graphics that accompany the explanation (in the written report and pamphlet) and slides that go with the oral presentation (product presentation).
PRESENTATION DATES: 13 - 23 OCTOBER 2008
Venue: ASTAKA
If there are any discrepancies with the information given by your lecturers, please feel free to ask your respective lecturers.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Mark Van Doren
'THE ART OF TEACHING IS THE ART OF ASSISTING DISCOVERY.'
According to wikipedia,Mark Van Doren is a Pulitzer prize winning poet and critic. Read more on him if you like.
I think this quote is more for me than it is for you. I love quotes like this one because it helps give me a perspective on how I'd like learning to be. If learning has been a discovery for you, then I am on the right track.
WELCOME BACK!
Hi guys! Sem break is over and it's time to hit the books, burn the midnight oil, put your nose to the grindstone again. I hope you all had a good rest. I did. :)
It was one of the most restful breaks I've had in two years. Anyway, to those who've yet to present, I hope you've been practising. Can't wait to see you all again. See you in a few hours!

What I've been reading....
When I have the time I usually lurk at a blog called: OUR INNER MOST THOUGHTS. Here, click on the link and you can go there yourself - http://possitivethots.blogspot.com/
I find the writer very mature and insightful for her age.
There are many posts you can read there but I'm picking one and putting it here. It's called GOOD TO BE HUNGRY:
Dad showed me an English online news site a few weeks ago. The headline was: “Waste not want not, Gordon Brown tells families. Britons are throwing away £1 billion of food a year”. Wow! That’s a lot of food. The Prime Minister was asking the people of England not to waste food. I am glad that he said that, but I am double glad because dad has being telling me never to waste food ever since as long as I can remember… he he. I listen to my dad, so I try not to waste anything. We never throw away good food. We never throw away not-so-good-tasting food either! I always clean up my plate. Clean, like so so clean… he he. At times when I really can’t finish my food, dad would help clean it up for me. Dad never cooks too much and whatever extra is always put into the freezer. He puts everything into the freezer; pizza, roti, pasta sauce, fried rice, curly fries, water, glow-in-the-dark bracelets… Dad said that humans are good at taking things for granted. When we have something, we never think of what it will be like not having it. We take our food and our best friends for granted. We take the clean air and our neighbours for granted. We take our body parts and our maths teacher for granted. Some times we even take our own self for granted… he he. Dad said that some people fast is because they want to know what it’s like to be hungry and learn not to take food for granted. I have never fasted but I have being hungry before. Being hungry wasn’t funny, you know? by small bright head
I guess I chose this piece because I have been fasting. Lemme see, 12 days down and 7 to go. Thank you Hana for choosing the month of Ramadan :) (That's my baby's name. Next month she'll be a year old. How fast time flies .)
Anyway, for as far back as I can remember, my siblings and I have always been told not to waste food. In fact, when I was growing up, we could not touch any of the newly cooked dishes until we have finished the leftover from lunch! Poor us. My sister once sat at the dining table sooooo long coz she couldn't finish something on her plate.
Ever heard how the rice will cry if you don't finish it? Or that every rice you leave behind is a pimple on your future partner's face? That is why, like small bright head's daddy, we freeze our food, reheat or re-cook it. My dad says if we throw away rezeki, how are we going to be blessed?
Anyway, the bottom line is we shouldn't waste any food. Imagine somewhere in the world people are dying of hunger, and the food on your plate is thrown away. So people, don't be greedy. Take only what you can eat. If I can find the youtube clip on kids dying from starvation, you'll see it here.

Phew! It's already week 4! How time flies. Week 6 is just around the corner and your first assessment is sooooon.....very soooooooooooooooon.

So how'd you like the bowling and throwing boulders activity?

Quotes of the day
Maya Angelou
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
All great achievements require time.
Nothing will work unless you do.
I simply love everything Maya Angelou says. She's a great writer, poet, and she even cooks! Read more about her at http://afroamhistory.about.com/od/mayaangelou/p/bio_angelou_m.htm

Just for laughs!
I notice you got your work cut out for you. So just so you won't feel stressed coming in to blog, here are some fun and lighthearted stuff for your viewing pleasure.
Sengal ubi, here's to reinforce your comment. Public Speaking is all about self confidence!

P.R.E.S.E.N.T your steps to becoming an EFFECTIVE presenter
Hi people!
Aah, you've already survived the second week but the best is yet to come. Remember, you are on your way to becoming EFFECTIVE presenters! Put on your brave face and push away negative thoughts!
Anyway, as a group, you have discussed:
(1) the difference between an experienced and inexperienced public speaker
(2) why people are afraid to speak in public
and you have:
(3) supported your answers with your own experiences
Some of you have experience that dates back to Standard 3! Look how confident you are now! :)
Then you were asked to come up with your own steps using the word PRESENT.
Instructions:
ALL SECTIONS POST COMMENT HERE!
Share with us your discussion as well as the steps to becoming an effective presenter.
Write it in the comment section together with your SECTION, GROUP NAME and GROUP MEMBERS' NAMES.
Note, this is NOT an individual assignment. Once you have done this, you can work on the OVERCOMING STAGE FRIGHT post, if you haven't already.
Do highlight in your post any other interesting links that you have come across.
Thank you and have a great weekend this week!

When I leave, I want to work at .....M04
How many of you have ever thought about where you wanted to work once you left college? If you haven't, give it some thought and choose a place where you'd like to work at. Why do you want to work there?
Do a search on that company and find out the qualities required by that company. What kind of people is the company looking for? Do you have those qualities? What do you think your responsibilities would be working there?
