OK. So this is the news. The coordinator has decide about the time for the course mentioned. I am not so sure that if the course is listed in the SMP but what you need to do is just attend the class. The issue about registration is not an issue as it can be solved easily.
The time that has decided for the course is as below:
Venue: Mini auditorium SPPS
Time: 7pm to 9pm
Day: Monday
Please inform all of the other second year students for this information, and if the time causes any issue, we will discuss with the lecturer (Miss Sheily) for the time being. Just make sure that you attend the class for that time mentioned.
For some reasons about the time clashing, please inform me first (if you cannot attend the class) so that I can negotiate the time with the lecturer. And please let me know for the time that you are free for Monday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, after 1PM. (our lecturer is only free at those time) If there is not, try to adjust your own time for this course (as it is mostly PPIB courses at that time) with your lecturer.
If you cannot register for SMP due to the offers had not set to us (in registration), just attend the class. ignore about the SMP issue first. (I mention twice here...)

There are always something behind the scenario.
Got to admit that there are quite a lot of chaos in this semester for my course. And it seems that there are some issues that 'need to be reviewed'.
What?It seems to be true that the course are facing chaotic course 'selection'.
Who is behind the scene? Undoubtly, the school as well as the administration department. Why? Do you know that in sometime at this semester (I think at last semester), the course code has changed into a 5 digit code instead of 4. And there are some major school and program's CH has increased 'for some reason'. i.e. the practicum (Latihan Mengajar I assume), is supposed a 6 CH course has changed to 8 CH course. Some major schools like (Socio, Computer and Multimedia) is supposed to be 2 CH but now is in 3 CH.
I see it, how it will affects us? Nothing more to say, affects in the terms of time, pointers and even worse your graduation. I guess the reason explained well here.
What? Then... about the course's bulletin or the TESL night. My program coordinator revealed this issue recently and I have gave my opinion to him today.
Who is behind the scene? The whole TESL group!
Why? Let's say about bulletin first. It is just more or less about writing (blogging) or whatever it is, I only found that there are quite a few are interested in writing or contributing themselves. Perhaps that they are busy or what? It seems that my coordinator said about the TESL before and now is... totally different. Another issue is about the 'heads'. They wanted to publish the bulletin but they CARE A LOT about the logo and quality. Those stupid and freak rules are only demotivate us to contribute or give our initiative on creating something. They know to complain yet they contribute nothing. Thinks about yourself first before you can comment on others.... Then about the night, it seems that it is tough, and I wonder who will going to get the substitute job... If there is anyone willing to do so, let me know. I am ready to assist (but avoid to become the leader or what...)
I see it, how it will affects us? Affects nothing in academic but I am sure that our lecturers will be dissapointed since they are really, seriously looking forward about this matter.
What? Some courses are not offered yet.
Who is behind the scene? Academic division and the school!
Why? Read the latest prospectus. Borrow one from your junior. The school forced us to follow and take the courses are offered as in the prospectus. That's insane. If you compare with it, you will find out that it is in a total mess. And then about the issue why you are not registered? Easy. The stupid system used by the academic division as well as the skill they divert the complaints from one to another, then the other will also divert it back to the division. No quality. They only know the quota is always 100. And as long as the courses are not in the same time and location then it is fine. And that's why the time table for now is in a mess and according to program coordinator, this mess will only solved after next week.
I see it, how it will affects us? Who knows? You should know yourself. Try to be more alert then.
So... just in a word, try to be somehow active and take the initiative... Unless you are not a TESLian. Not in the way to disturbing though. Try to consider about our coordinator. And I will just keep on informing if there is anything.
Happy Weekend again. If it really is.

1. Teaching Writing Skills
2. Approaches to Language Learning / Discourse Analysis
3. Introduction to Morphology
4. Major School 1
5. Major School 2
6. Free / Major School 3 / PPIB Courses / Co-curricular activity

Happy New Year.
It is the first day for 2009, and for sure we are expecting a lot of good things will come by this moment.
I will just make this short. About the school's course information. It seems that the academic department repaired the system at yesterday, and we will no need to register for the Social Context (yet we still don't know when it is the time, so we might need to check it during school days I think).
Hopefully this is a good start for this year and the problem on some of our major school will solved at this moment too (even though the possibility is low).
Happy 'Niu' Year to all of you again... (niu= cow in Chinese).

2008 is gone, 2009 is coming!
It is true about a Ｃhinese proverb："The years will not have mercy on the people. 岁月不饶人."
It seems that the time are passing very fast - that year 2008 is 'gone' just like that. Guess I have a lot of things that I will never forget about my 2008's.
Let me have a review about this, about my 8's special in this year (frankly is more about the second half of 2008 though)...
My 8's in 2008! Click here to view it!
Whatever ranting it is, the new year is coming. So just forget all the grudges that I have made with my friends, with "aud lang syne" and make sure that you and I will receive new wishes, hopes and missions in the following year!

小学的华语的作业？！
Well... Since the SMP of our school have major problem, and there are even some courses that we should and can register is not out yet (I don't know yours but I have tried several times to log in but failed), so I can only surf the web for something else. Eventually...
This is what I found through surfing 'net' and I think this joke is good to be shared with you all. The original version is in Chinese, however, I tried my best to translate the sentences into English, and hopefully these are translated correctly. Enjoy.
这个是一个很搞笑的题目。在网上找到的，特地在这里分享一下。
现在小学语文题，看他们的一道作业题：
This is a question in a primary school, that use the student's ability to combine the four sentences into one through conjunction.
要求：把以下四句话用关联词连接:
1、张海迪姐姐瘫痪了；
Sister Haiti is paralyzed.
2、张海迪姐姐顽强地学习；
Sister Haiti study tenaciously (hard).
3、张海迪姐姐学会了多门外语；
Sister Haiti learned a lot of foreign languages.
4、张海迪姐姐学会了针灸。
Sister Haiti learned acupuncture.
（注：正确答案应该是：张海迪姐姐虽然瘫痪了，但顽强地学习，不仅学会了多门外语，而且还学会了针灸。）
The correct answer should he:
Although Sister Haiti is paralyzed, she still study tenaciously， not only she learned a lot of foreign languages, but also learned acupuncture.
结果有一个孩子写：
Then a child wrote:
虽然张海迪姐姐顽强地学会了针灸和多门外语，可她还是瘫痪了。
Even though Sister Haiti study hard on acupuncture and a lot of foreign languages, but she still paralyzed.
后来，发现更猛的孩子写道:
After that, there are even more 'better' children wrote:
张海迪姐姐不但学会了外语，还会了针灸，她那么顽强地学习，终于瘫痪了。
Sister Haiti not only learned a lot of foreign languages, she also learned acupuncture. However, she studied hard, finally paralyzed.
张海迪姐姐之所以瘫痪了，是因为顽强地学习，非但学会了多门外语，甚至学会了针灸。
The reason that Sister Haiti paralyzed is because she studied hard, until she learned a lot of foreign languages, and also acupuncture.
张海迪姐姐是那么顽强的学习，不但学会了多门外语和针灸，最后还学会了瘫痪。
Sister Haiti always study hard, not only learned a lot of foreign languages and acupuncture, finally she learned how to paralyze.
张海迪姐姐学会了多门外语，学会了针灸，又在顽强的学习瘫痪。
Sister Haiti learned a lot of foreign languages, learned acupuncture, and study hard about paralyze.
张海迪姐姐通过顽强的学习，学会了多门外语和针灸，结果照着一本外文版针灸书把自己扎瘫痪了。
Through study hard, Sister Haiti learned a lot of foreign language and acupuncture, as a result, she follow a foreign language version's acupuncture book and paralyzed herself.
因为张海迪姐姐瘫痪了，所以顽强的学习。可是她学到了多门外语，却忘了学到对她自己有帮助的针灸。
Because Sister Haiti is paralyzed, so she studied hard. However, she learned a lot of foreign language but forget to study about acupuncture that can help herself.

Gaming flaws on a Dynasty Warriors...?
Well, through vigorous 'gaming' and learning my language skills, I might need to reconsider that is it gaming will really improve the language ability of the users.
So far, Dynasty Warrior Series is my favourite game, and when I am playing this old game (Dynasty Warriors Vol.2 from PSP), eventually that I found something about this game, so I decided to share the information to y'all.
The interface of the game, just a little bit difference from PC and PS2 Version (except less voice and the battle interface is using strategy mode instead of a real ACT game like PC or PS2). And PSP version enables you to choose certain officers to become your body guard, includes officers from Water Margin and Samurai Warriors. Certain Ancient Warriors (Xiang Yu, Liu Bang) is also enabled in this mode, and most Romance of The Three Kingdom Warriors head image is replaced with the images in Sangokushi 10 and 11.
Like most of us say, nothing is perfect. And that goes to the gaming too. It is not easy to create a flawless game (I consider Dynasty Warrior 5/ Shin Sangoku Musou 5) is the best DW game, apart from Warriors Orochi Series and Samurai Warrior Series. Perhaps Dynasty Warriors Vol.2 is a bit different compared to PC, PS2, therefore some technical errors occur in this game?
If I am right, Sun Shang Xiang is Sun Quan's sister, instead of daughter... difference of PS2, PC and PSP...
Why 'disposed of'? If I am right, should be... 'disposed' right?
It seems that sometimes games also got it's error (at before I only think PC games are always flawed).

2. In 2008, I have lost control on myself for the 3rd time in my life.
3. About my course, surprisingly that there is only lecturer in my 'blacklist'. (there supposed to be 2 but I have gained my neutral side on the lecturer. Thinking back, he is not that bad after all, by giving a fair result to us, even though his final is easy but nuts <2> and sometimes boastful).
4. I 'accidentally' become the head of my foreign language Family Day's leader as well as a EXCO of my school's association. Surprising.
5. With my personality, it is surprisingly that I am able to survive again with some killers and get a acceptable pointer for the 3rd semester.
6. There are some course's result are out of my expectation. For instance, my DA and Syntax. I expect to get a B only but it seems that these results are better than what I have expected. Certain major school courses that I expect to get an A or just a B- ended up with poor results. My seniors said that the school subjects help you to raise your pointers but it seems to be a little different on mine... Surprised.
7. Never thought of myself will get a Celcom and Digi Boroadband for the sake of online in my hostel.
8. I had make my plan that what I am going to do for my school life in next semester. But just about the beginning and after my event that I am leading for February. Not my style.
