Money Changers in Kuching

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 05:53:00 +0000

Been searching for hours for the best money changers in Kuching Town. I went to 3 particular place to do a comparison. I went to Tun Jugah Mall, Boulevard Shopping Mall and tHe Spring Mall. There are 4 money changers in total. The best money changer that I've found so far is UAExchange at Tun Jugah Mall. Their selling price for Australian Dollar is the far most cheaper with RM2.98 per dollar. Just opposite UAExchange is Hong Xi, which offered RM3.00 per dollar. It's quite expensive at Boulevard with RM3.01 per dollar and the most expensive one is at tHe Spring with RM3.05 per dollar. So, I changed half of my money at UAExchange. The other half I'll change 10 days from now. Let's see whether the rate goes up or down. Hopefully it will be cheaper then. Crossing my fingers til then. Can't wait to get myself to Australia.

Air Asia Sale! HOORAY!

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:40:00 +0000

Air Asia has another sale going on until 16 Nov. So I grab the opportunity to look for cheap tickets to somewhere around Asia for my next vacation. And to Bali it is. RM450 for 2. From KL to Denpasar, 23 - 27 Nov 2015. I know it still far into the future but why cut the happiness? Just let me enjoy myself. Hahaha. Can't wait to go on vacation! 2016 Europe perhaps? Or maybe South Korea? Who knows.

Melbourne and Sydney Trip: the Preparation so far

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 03:19:00 +0000

         So far the preparation for our trip to Australia has been great. Small obstacles do occur but everything has been settled. Now time to buy some entrance tickets online and money changing.
         Through several months of reading through blogs and websites, I found out that it is better to book/buy tickets to most of the attractions in Australia online. There are many different types of promotions can be found online and the prices are definitely cheaper than buying on the spot. Here is a website where you can buy tickets to multiple attractions at a very low price.
             The lowest rate so far for money exchange is RM2.95 per Aus Dollar. Not bad cause at least it is not more than rm3 per Aus Dollar.
              Still contemplating on which attraction package to choose from. Hopefully can decide by this weekend.

Kapit Trip

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 11:03:00 +0000

Last Hari Raya Aidiladha break I went for a 2 days 1 night trip to Kapit with 3 of my closest colleagues. We do normally enjoy a lot of trips to other parts of Sarawak. But this time it's different since we cannot drive our way there. Kapit is one of the 11 divisions in Sarawak. It is only accessible by express boats. So this makes our trip much more special than our other trips. The experience was totally awesome. We took an express boat from Sibu Passengers Wharf. There are different prices depending on the class - economy, middle and 1st class. We took the economy class on our way there and took the 1st class on our way back. There was not much of a difference between all those classes, only comfort. 1st class definitely has less people in it thus it's more comfortable.

Kapit town is not so big but it is DEFINITELY bigger than Betong!!! Staying there for a long period might bore someone who loves to travel such as myself, but if you love solitude, than it might be a great place for you to live or work. The vegies and fruits sold at ther market are soooo CHEAP!! The people are friendly but you need to be able to converse in Iban (local language) as some of the elders in town cannot speak Malay or English quite well.

By visiting Kapit, I can gladly say that I have conquered Sarawak. I'm proud to say that I have been to all the divisions in Sarawak. So, I guess it's time to spread my wings to Sabah and the Peninsular of Malaysia for the years to come. May my dream comes true! Here are some pictures of my trip to Kapit.

Short Excursion

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 14:15:00 +0000

My friends and I are planning a short excursion to Kapit this coming weekend. We've been wanting to visit Kapit like since forever. I've been to every division in Sarawak except for Kapit. So, let's realize our dream. Why not? Spend some time having friends therapy. Year end is always busy with tonnes of works. So, let's have some fun.

Australia Trip: It started with a Luggage

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 12:51:00 +0000

It all started when I bought this luggage after coming back from Beijing in November 2013. I bought in on sale after coming back from China realising that the 24 inch luggage I borrowed from my sister is not big enough to store all my clothing. Of course it's not enough, the winter clothings are all bulky.
So, I bought this luggage thinking that I might travel somewhere further this year but without any idea as to where I might step my feet on next. So, as the year passes by, with the 1st Matta fair of 2014 and free seats sales (AA) went by, By end of May, I haven't decided on anything. Just some splurges of ideas of wanting to go to Indonesia, South Korea and Australia.
My enthusiasm to go travelling this year was slightly dented by the tragedies that struck MAS with one flight went missing (up til the moment i write this post, the plane and its passengers whereabout still remain unknown). Then, came the June school holidays. As I was staying at home enjoying the solitude, The idea of wanting to travel to Australia came. After the break, I told my idea to my colleagues and they agreed. And we all agreed to the idea of not to take up any particular tour package and arrange our holiday on our own. I accidentally volunteered to be the manager of the trip. We decided to visit two states of Australia, Sydney and Melbourne. Thus we decided to spend 7 days in Australia to visit both places.

So, I booked our flights from KL to Melbourne, Melbourne to Sydney (via Jetstar Low Cost Airline) and from Sydney back to Malaysia. Then, I began my study on tourists' attractions in Melbourne and Sydney. Trying to build the best itinerary without having to spend a lot. I read through many blogs about budget trips to Sydney and Melbourne. I read some of it until 3 or 4 in the morning. I was really excited reading all those blogs that I almost can't stop myself. My Eid holidays was mostly spent on doing research for our trip. Up until this moment, I'm still doing my research.

So, here's what I've spent for tickets so far:

1. KL-MEL (AAX) - RM499(ticket) + RM14(dinner) + RM79(luggage 20kgs) + RM4 (service fee for direct debit) = RM596

2. SYD-KL (AAX) - RM1066(ticket) + RM15(dinner) + RM99(luggage20kgs) + RM4 (direct debit) = RM1184

3. MEL-SYD (JS) - AUD65(ticket) + AUD16.50 (luggage 20kgs) + AUD5(seat selection) + AUD8.50 (direct debit) = AUD95 = RM272

*paying through direct debit is much cheaper than a credit card (it cost RM30).

*you can get much cheaper price for tickets if you buy it during free seat sales.

For the remaining of the story, I'll explain in my next post.

Financial Rule of Thumb

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 04:17:00 +0000

      In recent years, I have been in and out of the country for vacation purposes. Enjoying life the way it should be enjoyed. Brunei, Singapore, Pontianak, Thailand and Beijing since year end of 2012. And because of this, many of my friends assumed that I am born rich.
      NOPE. I'm not born in a wealthy family. Both my parents are retirees - retired government servants - and they still have to pay for my little brother's and little sister's tuition fees. So, where did I got those bunches of money to fulfill my love for travelling? The answer is easy - a good financial management.
       As my ex-housemate once told me, i quote: "according to Li Ka Shing, we should save our money in 5 different accounts: 1 for living expenses, 1 for making friends, 1 for studying, 1 for oversea trip and 1 for investment." Well, I don't have all 5 of it but I do have accounts for living expenses, life savings. Well, it's only two on the surface but the money in my saving account is mainly for vacations and studying. When I read the article on how to manage our money by Li Ka Shing, I really find out what he mentioned is really useful. So, from now on, why not have another account where you don't spend the money on other things except for vacation. Let's say you save rm300/month for 1 year, you will have rm3600 by the end of the year, and believe me, if you go on vacation without a tour company, rm3600 is more than enough. Believe it when I say I spent around rm1500 on a 3 days 2 nights vacation in singapore with my sister. I sponsored her.
     So, live wisely. Choose to live life at its BEST! Cheers!!

Work and waiting

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 23:28:00 +0000

Doing some markings at a colleague's room while waiting for her to come back from photo taking session. Lot of things to discuss about our year end trip. Can't wait for the trip yet got so many works to be done before that. Oh my Monday...

1 Regret

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 15:25:00 +0000

I think now I'm slightly regretting my reckless decision to buy myself a house. If I din't do it, I'm sure I can further my study sooner than later. Let's just hope and pray that I can sell it soon after it is completed. And earn some revenue from it too.

3 years have passed

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 15:11:00 +0000

It's 3 years since I last posted an entry on this blog of mine. Been neglecting it as I think maybe no one is reading it. A lot had happen in these 3 years. I bought a car with my own money, invigilated an exam, drove my car to Sabah, bought an SGS3 then SGN3, had a vacation in Singapore together with my sister, went for a trip to Pontianak, had a vacation in Thailand and Beijing with my colleagues, teaching, teaching, teaching and more teachings and WORK too. I was even involved in an accident just last April. Someone knocked the rear of my car.

Anyway, I love all the vacations part of my life. And this coming December, I'll have one week holiday in AUSTRALIA!!! Can't wait!

Not just another post

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:51:00 +0000

Today is my birthday! Happy birthday to ME!!! A year older, a year wiser. So far (as of 10.50am), nothing special happened. It's still early, so, nevermind. I got tonnes of wishes though. Even got 1 from my boss. Despite, it's Mid-Autumn Festival too. So, I guess my birthday cake this year will be Moon Cake-oriented. Hahaha. This is so much special. Although not as special as I'm expecting or have expected. Well, I don't care. Well, every year I do expected it to be special, but up til now, it's just ordinary. When will it be SPECIAL? I don't know, but it doesn't mean I won't wait. Anyway, a big THANKS to 5S2 for the birthday song today. They want to sing it out loud but I manage to stop them. I don't want it to be a big fuss around school. (5S2 - -love you guys so much - ALL THE BEST FOR SPM 2011) this year, as usual, I would like to have a quiet but meaningful birthday. It's quiet so far, but nothing meaningful yet. So, I'm waiting. Anyway, today, my special prayer goes to everyone out there who knows me deeply - GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU & THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND KINDNESS TO ME. And to all my Chinese readers - HAPPY MID AUTUMN aka MOONCAKE/LANTERN FESTIVAL.

Waiting for you to come to live,
I’ve been longing for your love,
To come true…

Oh my baby I love you,

Between you and me…

I Love You sur le pluie,
I Love You sur le soleil,
I Love You it was meant to be,
I Love You every moment each day…

After Raya Break

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 02:10:00 +0000

WAH!!! It's very happening here in our staffroom. Very noisy, but only during recess when everyone is in - well almost everyone. Some are still not back yet from the break. CRK, MC, etcs... flight tickets related problem, health problem, family matters, etc... Ok, enough with that nonsense. haha. What's the best topic for today? LAZINESS to come for work! After 1 week break - not a real break for me because I got sick towards the end of the break. I felt like sh** up until right now. And I even accidentally broke my bottle of medicine this morning - there goes my nasal spray! I wonder if I can survive this couple of weeks without that bottle of medicine since my nasal polyps recently stopped by to visit me. I really felt like I'm almost dying. choi! choi! choi! BAD THOUGHTS go away!!! Hopefully from today ahead, everything will be great for me. All BAD LUCK please go far far away from me - I don't want to see you! I want to see GOODNESS, KINDNESS, PROSPERITY and all the good luck in my face!!! AMEN!!!

Duh...

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 01:58:00 +0000

Wow!! It's been a long long long long long long long long time since I last update my blog. I'd been so so so so so so so so so lazy. And that happened because I'm so so so so so so so so DEPRESSED with my life. Just because of 1 STUPID little thing, I've been suffering A LOT. 1 thing - 1 person - 1 STUPID person - although in real life that person is clever (on paper, biasa lah)...hahaha...FUNNY...duh... I don't know, maybe it's my own mistake - too nice to people around me. Serve me right. I've been nice to people ever since I'm in primary school, I don't know why, but I love the people around me, they never caused me any trouble. Only now, because of my good nature, I suffer. People start to take advantage of me...so, I SUFFER.

Tears of Heaven

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 08:45:00 +0000

It has not been raining here in Betong for the past weeks but during this Holy weekend it rains. Yes, it's been raining since yesterday evening up until now. Could it be the tears of Heaven above remembering the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Maybe. We will never know and understand the works of God. Anyhow, it's been a great wet weekend so far. It's great to have rain after quite a long drought. It cools down the earth and it cools down everyone's hearts too, believe me. My mood is quite good now compared to last week's. Well' the rain really have soothing effects I guess. Ha Ha! Ok, that's all for now. Let's enjoy our day wherever we are. God bless!

Where should I start...

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 18:02:00 +0000

Ok, I really do not know where to begin or what to blog about. It's about 2.05am now. It's Easter, and it's Sunday. It's really been a while since my last post. I'm more to Facebook-ing nowadays than blogging. I know It should not be like that since blogging is a better way to share my thoughts but with Facebook, I can reach to more friends who actually know me. I do not even know if there are my acquaintances that actually blog, they seldom talk about it, but when it comes to Facebook, everybody seems to be using it. Well, most people dislike to write longer than 2 sentences, that's why they choose Facebook rather than blogging. After all it is easier and faster to reach our readers via Facebook because of the Facebook mobile etc.. Well, you know it, needless for me to explain. Well, I guess that's what I have to say now.
Oh, by the way, I'll be away for 3 days beginning Tuesday til Thursday. There's this Induction Course that I need to attend for my job confirmation. It's just another way for us to waste our time actually. At least it will help me get out of this boring and stressful life here. Ok, I'll blog again soon.

The dark side of me

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 02:18:00 +0000

Ouch!! My skin hurts. Getting sun-burnt after 3 days of sun bathing is both pain & pleasure. It's painful to get sunburn but it's fun to have sports days. Sports days come with sunburn, so don't anticipate less. Haha. In another 2 weeks time, there will be another inter-school sports meet in our division and I'm involved as a chaperon, so, expect to see the darkest side of me. When it comes to sports, I'll give it all out.

It's my right!

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 14:03:00 +0000

Something happened today that put me in a vexed mode. I went to a shop here in Betong for a drink with my "little friends" this evening after a jog at the sports complex. While having our drink, about a few tables back sat my students ( I'm not gonna lie here because those students are from my prefectorial board). They were actually smoking in a public area, which is OK with the shop's and public's regulation. Since they are my students, I directly felt compelled to ask them to not smoke in the public, especially when other younger students are around. After I warn my students not to do so from my table, suddenly, the workers/waiters at the shop asked me to keep quiet. In my heart, I felt "WTH! It's my right to warn my students not to smoke, why do you have to stop me from doing that?! If you want me to keep quiet, then, you should put a "keep quiet sign on"." I was really annoyed and angry at the same time but I just keep to myself and left. Better not to pour oil on fire. What stupid things those people are doing, no wonder they only work as waiters there. One more thing they do not realise is that - they are NOT our local people. Swear to God I'll never go there again even desperately - at least not until it's a life and death situation. Betongites, do not go to PC anymore because the workers are RUDE!!!

Human: How trustworthy are they?

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 13:09:00 +0000

This is a really big issue no human can really explain it. As an old Malay saying that goes "rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain" which means although we have the same hair colour does not mean we have the same kind of heart. To make it simple, don't judge a book by its cover because the content might be different from what the cover portrays.

Here's my case: Last Sunday (Aug 22nd), something happened near the residential area I'm residing in. It involves the authorities as well. I can't believe in such a quiet neghbourhood where people live in harmony, such thing can happen. It's been spreading all over the news this few days. And for me, I'm actually quite traumatised as I've never been in such situation. A situation where a "Devil's Pact" was made between two devils who love gambling so much. Thus an innocent young blood was victimised. Fortunate or not, I was involved somehow in the incident. Such a calm night became a tragedy for the victim and a scary ride for me, my housemate and a student of mine (she was at our house to study for exam the following day). My neighbour was lucky that we were there to help. At first, we (me, my housemate and my student) were blurred by what's actually happening. After some crazy doings, we found out the answer. We fled the scene and called for help. And the devil was caught. The other devil - I'm not even sure. But I'll try to find out soon. Luckily too, no one else was hurt except for the victim. BUT, the most important thing that I want to highlight here is the "Devil's Pact" between the two devils. How can such thing happened? Giving up the one you should be loving most to a devil just to pay a debt? That's totally BS and nonsense!!! Why don't you just sell yourself off?! It was you who gamble - not your family!!! So, how can we TRUST HUMAN if your loved ones dare to sell you off?! This question is really hard for me to find the answer. It all lies in the individual itself. "Tepuk dada, tanya selera" (answer it for yourself based on your own opinion). This is a case that is still traumatizing me. I'll never ever forget it.

In the meanwhile, I pray all the best for the victim, and for all of us who still have a human's heart. For the devils: May you two ROT IN HELL!!!

Neglected

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 09:43:00 +0000

Wow, I cannot believe it once again I've neglected my blog. I'm only busy "Facebooking" as most of people I know have Facebook. I'm currently considering to terminate my social interaction account but I feel I do still need it if I'm to keep in touch with my old friends and my family. And the rest of my FB broods? Like I care!!? We meet everyday, so why should we have interact using FB? I prefer face to face. As far as I'm concern, "Facebooking" has also caused me to neglect my life. I only care about playing games on FB and updating my status and reading other people's status. What is that for? It doesn't bring any good to me at all. Why not I spend all my time on FB doing other things like preparing my lessons, reading and doing all other stuffs that bring more benefits to myself? Blogging is even better than "Facebooking" - like, a million times better - as it can improve my writing and my communication skills as well. In FB, I usually use all types of short forms whereas in blogging, I restrict myself to using the correct English. Nonetheless, blogging is even better for me. What about you? What do you think?

How to study English? - in the Malaysian context

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 10 May 2010 11:33:00 +0000

The students I meet asked me this question one too often. This is a normal situation to have especially if you are a teacher and are teaching in a Malaysian school. So, here I would like to provide my twenty cents on this matter.

How to read?
Actually, there is no exact or right way to study English. But, I bet most of you would agree if I say one of the way to study English Language is by READING - that is reading English materials. Reading that I meant here is not just simply reading without the clear understanding of the text that you read. But, when you read a text for the first time, please - I would like to emphasize here - please do not read and when you find a word that you do not understand you quickly take out a dictionary and try to find its meaning because this is totally the wrong way to do a reading. This one-unclear-word-so-let's-open-the-dictionary attitude should not be practised. Therefore, the right way to do it is by reading the whole chapter or topic and try to guess the meaning of the word from the context of the word's usage. Try to guess first, the meaning of the word from the context that it was used and then do you open up the dictionary to find the correct meaning of the word. This is what I think is the most appropriate way to do our reading.

How to choose reading materials?
After we know the right way to read, then, do we start to think of what is the most suitable material to read. There's no limit actually to what type of material you should. It can be from a common genre such as fables and tales to even more complicated writing such as biography. Be it any kind of genre, the most important thing a reader should bare in mind is that - the books we read must be a published material because only published materials were of standard language value as they were edited and proofread by editors. Once you found a properly published material, you can begin your way to read the material.

Once you are occupied to reading, your mindset will automatically be adjusted to the way how the writer organized and used the words in his context. And when you are used to the way how the sentences in the story or text were organized, you will indirectly learn the grammar and vocabularies of English language. So, when you begin to write an essay for your exam, it will be easier as you already know the rules of thumb to writing - all this is based on your experience with the language through reading.

Mother's day special

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sun, 09 May 2010 12:09:00 +0000

2nd Sunday of May every year Mother's Day is celebrated all around the world. And for the first time ever in my life, that I ever give a gift to my mother. Why is that so? Because this is the first time I use my own hard earn cash to pamper my mother. Haha. Actually, I just gave her some cash as I do not know what she really wants nowadays. So, it's better for me to give her cash and let herself decides on what she wants most rather than I buy something that she might not even like or need.

Besides my mother, I also gave my grandmother some cash for Mother's Day. She accepted the money with tears in her eyes which also brought mine out. I translate here what she said to me yesterday when I gave her the cash - She said "What is this money for?" and I said "Just accept it for the upcoming Gawai celebration." She said "No need for that, I have money too for Gawai" And I said again "Last time you gave me money too before i went to Betong." And she quickly replied "I only give you five cents"(She gave me RM50 actually - though she had not much money at that time & she has no income herself. All the money she has was given to her by her children.) And then, her tears started to fill her eyes then her tears dropped - and by seeing this, my tears filled my eyes too. and I turned around and try to held my tears in. Then, we both started to talk about something else to avoid all the tense that was building up. Soon after, I asked for permission to go home.

Well, everything that had happen was totally meaningful to me. And here, I would love to wish Happy Mother's Day to my mom - Mdm Tiara Ak Adam; my grandmother - Mdm Mary Ak Banting; my aunts - Mak Uteh, Aunty Lawas, Mak Ngah, Aunty Kuria, Aunty Kuk and Mak Cu; my sister-in-law - Kak Ju; and to all mothers out there. Thaks for all your sacrifices throughout our life. God Bless all of you.

3rd screech...

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Sun, 09 May 2010 10:09:00 +0000

About 5.05pm this afternoon, I almost got involved in an accident. It happened about 30KM from Betong...It was totally a shock of my life, yet again. The last time I almost got involved in an accident was in March, exactly at the junction to KIA from Serian. The first time I almost accident was in January not far from Sg Tengang bazaar. And today, for the 3rd time, I thank God for giving me another chance to breathe in the air of this beautiful world. I don't really remember what exactly happened just now. It was all too fast. All I know was that I hit my car's brake and here the sound of tires screeching on the road. Then, my car stop. I saw a pickup in front trying to turn to a junction on the right side of the road, behind it was a Honda City - also managed to avoid the collision. And behind the Honda City was me. I really don't know what actually happened there. For all I knew, I then signaled to the left to stop my car for a while to think. The Honda City quickly sped off. The pickup stopped a while to see if I was okay - which I was, and I gave the okay signal and then move on. Who's at fault you ask? I too am not sure about that. But I thank God for saving my life. Amen.

Commitment

noreply@blogger.com (Phyllz) — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:52:00 +0000

Commitment is a very strong word. According to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English (6th Edition) 2000, there are 5 different meanings of commitment. In my case, we will have a look at 3 of the meanings. Firstly, COMMITMENT means: a promise to do something or to behave in a particular way; a promise to support somebody/something; the fact of committing yourself. Second, COMMITMENT means: the willingness to work hard and give your energy and time to a job or an activity. Last but not least, COMMITMENT means: a thing that you have promised or agreed to do. As we can see and read here, COMMITMENT is really a strong word to be used in life, once you are committed, you can never look back or have any regret. Making a commitment means you make a promise not only to the job, thing or person that you are committed to but also to yourself. Once you are committed, you will give it all out and try to achieve for the best disregard of whatever challenges that you will face.

In our life as a human being, there are a lot of things that we are committed to; needless to say commitment in a student's life. As a student, we are committed to our studies, activities in school and most importantly - committed to our life as a child who will help ease the burdens that our parents have carried in raising us until we're able to stand independently on our own feet. If we are not committed with our own life, we are not qualified to be called a human being; perhaps we should call ourselves zombies - a person who seems partially alive, without any feeling or interest in what is happening or plainly speaking "a walking dead body". By having commitment in life, we give this "dead body" a "life" of its own; and by this we become ourselves or who we are right now. By having commitment, it shows that we really appreciate the life that God has given us all this while; so, to show our appreciation we must be committed in everything we do regardless of its importance as long as we do not cause any damage to our beautiful life.

Giving out a full commitment means we are holding a huge responsibility to make the job or activity that we are committed to a success or something that is at the best that it should be. Holding such a huge responsibility will bring us back to our COMMITMENT. Thus, COMMITMENT and RESPONSIBILITY should not be separated. In fact, it should be bind tightly together and not even a single thing can cause fracture to this bond. As my final say, COMMITMENT is a responsibility that comes from the very bottom of our heart, only we, ourselves could determine whether we are committed or not to a job or activity in our life as a Malay saying that goes "tepuk dada, tanya selera".

A new topic

From now on I would like to add a topic on the subject that I love - which is English Language. In this topic, I'll try my very best to answer questions regarding English Language for Malaysian students - since I'm an English teacher cum student. I will also share some advice on how to study English and how to study generally. Since Malaysia Education system is more examination-oriented, I'll cover up most of the topic that might be asked in an exam paper - including literature component and essays. This way, not only students can learn, but I myself would be able to improve myself in the language from many aspects especially the teaching and learning of the subject. Let's learn the beauty of the language together!!!
