This year-end's holidays is indeed very challenging, for me, of course. When you'd rather stay at home, you'd end up doing some unnecessary chores, dealt with some important matters to others-which aren't that important to you- thus, created a lot of fuss and yet unhealthy emotional rage(sleepless nites, loss of appetite, decrease of weight,grumpiness..etc)
And sometimes how you hope (and prayed a lot) for a break-a decent movie, some games to play, a walk to the beach at sunset, a short holiday away from home-but in reality it doesn't really happen most of the time.
Kids, brace urself for some workload prepared by me during this wrecthed holidays of mine, not made to torture u guys but just to help u to get through tough times when i'm on my maternity leave in April..I'll be off to my Disneyland with my bundle of joy..and will be back with loads of new and fresh ideas for teaching.
Movie of the week- The Blind Side- Starring Sandra Bullock-an ex-Ole Miss cheerleader who leads a very nice life with her beloved husband, an ex-basketball player and her two kids, Collins who plays volleyball and some cheerleading and Shawn Jr, a young boy who loved all the attention he can get.
It is based on a real story that revolves around Michael Oher,a.k.a Big Mike, who was homeless and had no one who cared for him. Sandra@Lee Ann found him wandering alone on a cold and freezing nite, he was wearing shorts and tee. The whole family took him home and treated him as theirs too.
As time passes, Sandra took into a lot of interest in Oher's study, she even employed a private tutor just to make sure that Oher gets what he deserved-a proper education. FYI, Oher has never been to school, he doesn't know how to read and write but has a very good memory when he listens well in his classes. From F, Oher now managed to score Bs and Cs!
Besides studying, they encouraged Oher to take up sports, Football, as he was way too big for a kid his age.*that's why they called him Big Mike*..he learns from scratch about the game and with Sandra's help, he pushes his way through as a successful player.
The ending-it's kinda teary...Why i chose this movie, i saw it was on the 1st spot in the list of the review, and i immediately looked for it at my friend's DVD shop. It was worth all my ringgits and Kokokrunch*a healthy snack too* and the tears...

SPORTS!
I have been a fan of Manchester United since i was in high school..Lots of changes in the main players, my fav is still Eric Cantona and his legendary no 7 jersey... Since i got married, my husband is a huge fan of Liverpool, with all the updates on the players' name and stuffs, unfortunately, i was still in the dark and supports two teams: MU and Liverpool..*wink*
In this section, i would like to thank those who are in to football, for being such fans and kept their faiths in their teams respectively. As for me, EPL and other leagues, esp World Cup have gathered people of different races, languages and skin color under one roof..
Thanks to the gamers of Winning Eleven and other games related to soccer, u guys made me learn more about being a good player. Although i played some while i was in high school, i still find it tough to master the joystick of PS3, Xbox, Wii or even PSP, just to play those games!

One Malaysia-Merdeka Theme 2009
One Malaysia-With a hope that we'll live in this peaceful nation in unity. No matter how hard times will be for us, we'll never be apart.
Ramadan Bazaar-Places where all locals go to for their Ramadan Feast
When the fasting month is here, we'll see lots of Ramadhan Bazaar popping up with hundreds of food stalls selling varities of food ranging from local delicacies (my fave would be 'ayam percik', roasted chicken marinated with oozing mustard-coloured sauce) to yoghurt, drinks, and many more...(when typing this entry,i can feel myself drooling..)
Unfortunate for me, i can't share the photos of Miri's Ramadhan Bazaars as i've lost my E71 USB cable. Eheh..If u guys have photos to share with, do email me at Ethok_tesl@yahoo.com.
This link is related to food available in Ramadan Bazaar located in Jalan TAR Kuala Lumpur. Personally, i loved the Ramadan Bazaar located in Kampung Kerinchi, Pantai Dalam. Located nearby University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur and Section 14,PJ. OMG! I really missed those places sooooooooo much!!!!!!
