They need our help

Today's program, Sehari Untuk Gaza is the day that worth each and every one of us to attend and participate. Though me and Oni's participation were very last minute and were not really prepared, we manage to collect a large amount of money to be contributed to the Palestines.

Me and my partner, Shazni Bahari aka Oni, opened a Vintage Clothing shop at the Tesl Square and the support from the students here were very extraordinary! Many people came to look around and buy our clothings and there were even some of them who wanted to contribute their clothes, pants and even bags to be sold to help our brothers and sisters in Gaza!

The program is held for only one day and everyone hopes that it could be longer so that they could participate and sell more things at the faculty!

Some of us did think of selling food and drinks at the cafe if the program continues on the next day! - TESL students can be business-minded at times!

No worries, you can still help by coming to an event held by Rantai Art in March. There will be an Art Exhibition where our talented, local artistes from all around the country (and of course most of them are indie painters and artistes) gather at the Red Bungalow and exhibit their arts to be sold and the fund collected to be used to help the Palestines!

Here's a poster of the upcoming event in March!

p.s. Holidays are here again. Enjoy your holidays everyone and don't forget our little Jihad, pray for them, boycott and donate because these are the very least that we could do to help our brothers and sisters!

Task in class II

This morning I sat next to Syameer Awal and it was the first time in so many years that I finally in the same class with him again. Also, the first time for me to join CALL with the rest of U8A team mates.

After a massive, factual and mind-refreshing moments by Dr. Izaham about the introduction and history of the subject, it was time for the hands-on experience whereby we were instructed to produce a sample of activity using the word processor. The activity constructed may varied from the various techniques of copy, paste, drag and drop. (I'm no expert but I do know a little bit of here and there)

So, here's my example of English activity produced using the word processor:

figure 1.0: Copy and paste activity where the students need to replace the words in BOLD with the suitable synonyms in the box given.

p.s. sorry for the indistinct picture I will try and do better next time!

In-Class Task Uno (1)

Hello sir!

The first task of CALL is the most interesting part of all. I would generally assume this is the most fascinating and one of a kind experience. Normally, people would like to introduce oneself or being introduced by anyone in face-to-face situation but with the technology today, here I am introducing myself through the World Wide Web's blogspot.

A little bit of myself:

Name: Siti Adibah Abdul Mutalib

A simple yet intriguing name I must say. Since there are two people in U8A who share the same name, so I would prefer people to call me adeb as in /adi:b/ to avoid confusion.

Age: 22 years old

Well, soon to be 23 years old on the 26th of November 2009 and yes, I am a saggitarian.

Occupation: A student of B. Ed TESL final semester and soon to finish studying in Universiti Teknologi MARA and still deciding which road to be taken. A full time daughter of a fierce and strict father and also the eldest child in the family.

Interests: LOMOgraphy, Photography, Arts, Music, GAMELAN, etc.

Well, you know sky is the limit. Therefore, it's hard for me to list down everything that I am interested in here.

That's pretty much everything about me. Not knowing what else to share right now but soon I will try to include more interesting details about me, friends, family and people around me!

Now, let's take a peep into the knowledge that I have about computers and my skills

I don't really know that much about computers and I have to say I am a little bit conservative when it comes to technology. I do know how to use the simple Microsoft Office (Words, Excel and Powerpoint) and there are times when motivation strikes my alter ego that I wanted to try and brush up my skills with the artwork using Adobe Photoshop or the Microsoft Publisher.

I do have my own personal blog and you can have a view here and as far as I am concern, Facebook is where I get connected with the people all over the world.

As for family matters, I logged in to the Geni website whereby all of the family members from my nuclear to the extended family gather and share information about everyday life and when to meet for family gatherings.

Just like everyone else, I do ym-ing (Yahoo Messenger) and it is hard to resist from doing it whenever that I have the time to do so. Also, downloading songs, movies, video clips and even files from Bitcomet, Limewire, Ares and other computer softwares.

I have my own laptop which is powerfully supplied with the Altec Lansing audio speakers and it eases me to listen to the musics that I like or simply to watch movies whenever I want and wherever I want.

That's all for now and I shall continue to write more about the things that I know about computers as well as the skills that I have regarding the machine and it's phenomenon. Till then, toodles~



p.s. I think I have added you at facebook suggested by Dr. Shireena during last semester break!
