Missing?

I met only a few of you today. Where are all the others? I didn't see any Chinese. Where are they?
I think most of you didn't reached the school today. On the way to school this morning I think I saw one of your Chinese friend at City Plaza. I saw the St. Michael boys & girls are there too. If what I saw is true, it is very bad. I hope you change.
Do your best in this coming Mid Term Exam. Good Luck.

Help Me, Please

~ Scholar, Sportsman, Gentleman ~
There will be an in-house training for us (teachers) this coming Saturday (23/05/09). I was assigned by our principal to give a talk on ICT in teaching-learning process to our teachers.
I asked our principal what he really want me to talk about. He told me that he want me to show the teachers few things including our school web & your blogs. What an honour for you guys. For your information, he has been following your progress in blogging since I introduced your blogs to him. So, please update your blog.
I know you all are quite busy with your mid-year exam, but please find time to update your blog. I'm looking forward for your help.

Selamat Hari Guru

We will be celebrating the Teachers Day on Sunday 17th. May 2009. Let's wish all your teachers "Selamat Hari Guru". It is nice if you guys could see all your teachers on that day & wish them personally. Thanks them for teaching you.
As for me ... this is my GIFT for you guys on the Hari Guru:
Early of the year (if you still remember) I told you that a few of your teachers said that your class is different & the best among all the previous ICT class - even the best among this year Form 4.
But last Tuesday (12th May 2009), those same teachers told me that they would like to take back the words. They told me that recently there were:
1. those who didn't do their homework.
2. those who skipped class for the co curricular activities.
3. those who didn't pay attention during learning.
We don't have to argue on what they said. Starting this Hari Guru, let us all bring back the old (early of the year) Form 4 Alfa. I know you can & if you can, I think that's the greatest GIFT to your teachers for this year Hari Guru.

So Sorry

~ Mina : 2006 ~
I felt very guilty reading a comment in our blog & a post from one of your friend's blog. I felt guilty not because I didn't attend your class but MORE because of making your spirit down. Honestly, I'm not going anywhere. The 4 Alfa is still my class.
It is just that it has been more than a month I'm very busy with the task (very tough) given to me by our management (pengetua & pk). The task was to lead a group of teacher to prepare our school's documentations & presentations for the cluster school.
With the burdens put on me, I have no choice. I got to skip your class due to a lot to be done in within the limited time given. You all are very lucky as Cikgu Rozi (a very good ICT teacher) is around to attend your class. We (me too) should thanks her.
For your information, I have been going home late & less sleep (affected my health). Even it happened that one of the day I went home at 5.30am - just before my subuh prayer. I'm not just ignoring you guys but also my family. Even this coming weekends, I got to be in school - no holidays for me.
In conclusion, so sorry & please forgive me. I'll be back - that's my promise. For the time being, maintain your high spirit. It will make you successful.
