Why all this thing must happen to me??? huh~
Sometimes make me smile..Sometimes make me came out with tears.
Yess...I love him. But why must this thing happen? Did I do wrong?
Why must cheat at me?

All night long I cry...my pillow wet cos my tears..:(..

Please I love him...

Ever hear those words spoken,
that's had your heart broken?
Maybe it was an action instead,
that left you wishing you were dead?
What do you do from that point on,
with a part of your life gone?n,

Nobody know what will happen next...especially in the future. :((
So sad...I'm so sad.
Everyone will always see my smile but no one will know that my heart full of my tears.

Customer Service Rep: Can you install LOVE?

Customer: I can do that. I'm not very technical, but I think I am ready to install now. What do I do first?

Customer Service Rep: The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART ma'am?

Customer: Yes I have, but there are several programs running right now.Is it okay to install while they are running?

Customer Service Rep: What programs are running ma'am?

Customer: Let me see....I have PASTHURT.EXE, LOWESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running right now.

Customer Service Rep: No problem. LOVE will automatically erase PASTHURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOWESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGHESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ma'am?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Customer Service Rep: My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as necessary until GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, I'm done. LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?

Customer Service Rep: Yes it is. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life of your HEART. Do you see that message?

Customer: Yes I do. Is it completely installed?

Customer Service Rep: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other HEARTS in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops...I have an error message already. What should I do?

Customer Service Rep: What does the message say?

Customer: It says "ERROR 412 - PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS". What does that mean?

Customer Service Rep: Don't worry ma'am, that's a common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to run on external HEARTS but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical terms it means you have to "LOVE" your own machine before It can "LOVE"others.

Customer: So what should I do?

Customer Service Rep: Can you find the directory called "SELF-ACCEPTANCE"?

Customer: Yes, I have it.

Customer Service Rep: Excellent, you are getting good at this.

Customer: Thank you.

Customer Service Rep: You're welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the "MYHEART" directory: FORGIVESELF.DOC, SELFESTEEM.TXT, EALIZEWORTH.TXT, and GOODNESS.DOC. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete SELFCRITIC.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with really neat files. SMILE.MPG is playing on my monitor right now and it shows that WARMTH.COM, PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT.COM are copying themselves all over my HEART!

Customer Service Rep: Then LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it from here. One more thing before I go...

Customer: Yes?

Customer Service Rep: LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everybody you meet. They will in turn share it with other people and they will return some really neat modules back to you.

Customer: I will. Thank you for your help.


p/s:- Just Smiling???? So, why dont we start install LOVE in our HEART...:)

I read one book that I think very useful. Title of the book is Bilingual Children: a guide for parents and carers wrote by Foufou Savitzky, London Language and Literacy Unit, South Bank University, 1994.

Here some tips I think can help all of us...enjoy it!!!

* Always talk a lot to your child in your language. Even when the child is too little to understand you should talk
to them about what you are doing when you are cooking, writing, shopping etc...
* Teach your child nursery rhymes and songs in your own language.
* Tell your child stories in your language. Encourage your child to join in with the story telling.
* Talk to your children about what they did at playgroup, nursery or school in your language. If they use English
words repeat what they have said using your language.
* Don't be frightened to use your language in public. If some people don't like it, it is their problem not yours.
* Make sure that your child knows the names of the different languages he speaks.
* Check that your child knows which language has which name.
* Take your child to concerts, plays, poetry readings, films etc. where they will hear people using your language.
* Try to make sure your children play with children who speak the same home language as they do.
* Find out if there is a community language school in your area where your language is taught. Your child might
benefit from attending classes there.
* Try to find books written in your language for your child. If there aren't any try to make your own or ask
someone else to help you.
* Make your child feel proud of your language.
* Don't laugh or tease your child because of her accent or if she makes mistakes

Here I like to share something which is I used in my Class. I used songs to tackle my students in learning English language. According to my research many students in Sabah especially in rural areas think English Language is difficult. After doing my research for four months at one of SMK in Papar area, students more attracted to learn English by using songs.

For example I'm using song in teaching literature. Because as we all know literature will be a lil bit dragging for teenagers. So I selects many songs that we can use during our teaching-learning. But when you choose the song make sure the lyrics and the content have a same meaning with what we want to teach.

Here I have a few song lists that I think can help you:-

Environment: "Ikan Keke"

Social Issues ( Teenagers Problems ) : Perfect by Simple Plan

Life's Brief Candle ( Form 3 ) : Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Simple Plan

The Dead Crow ( Form 3 ): Colours of the Winds

Sonnet 18 : Bring Me to Life by Evanescence

People : Only You by Yellowcard etc.

Language teachers can and should use songs as part of their classroom teaching repertoire. Songs contain authentic language, are easily obtainable, provide vocabulary, grammar and cultural aspects and are fun for the students. They can provide valuable speaking, listening and language practice in and out of the classroom. Some key reasons songs can work exceedingly well in the foreign language classroom include the following:

1. Songs almost always contain authentic, natural language

This often contrasts the contrived, stilted language found in many student texts. Of course songs can also go to the other extreme by using overly crude, foul or otherwise objectionable language. With careful screening, an extensive library of usable songs for language learning can be compiled.

2. A variety of new vocabulary can be introduced to students through songs

Looking to boost student vocabulary with useful phrases, vocabulary and expressions? Songs are almost always directed to the native-speaking population so they usually contain contemporary vocabulary, idioms and expressions.

3. Songs are usually very easily obtainable

Cibemba and Silozi non-withstanding, songs are usually not that difficult to obtain. Local sources may be available including the students themselves. There’s always the internet which can connect you with song downloads in all but the most obscure languages.

4. Songs can be selected to suit the needs and interests of the students

In English especially, so many songs are available that selection of songs with suitable themes, levels and vocabulary is not at all difficult. Allowances can also be made for complexity or simplicity of language, depending on the students, by selecting and using suitable songs.

5. Grammar and cultural aspects can be introduced through songs

Most if not all songs have a recurring theme or story. So excerpting cultural elements is usually a possible, but often overlooked aspect of using songs. I still use “Hit the Road Jack” sung by the late Ray Charles to illustrate spoken contractions. He uses spoken contractions is virtually every line of the song.

6. Time length is easily controlled

Whether you have an hour, 30 minutes, or only 15 minutes or so, a song can be used in the course of a planned lesson. Use of songs is very flexible.

7. Students can experience a wide range of accents

A good thing about songs is that you can expose the students to many different kinds of English. British English, American English, Caribbean English are all widely available through songs. Accents too are well represented by songs from different regions and in a variety of types and formats. Gospel, soul, R & B, Pop, Rock, Reggae, Jazz and other styles change not only accents, but vocabulary and usage too.

8. Song lyrics can be used in relating to situations of the world around us

Songs have been used as vehicles of protest for civil rights, workers rights, even prisoner’s rights along with an untold number of other causes. They’ve expounded on pollution, crime, war and almost every social theme or cause. We won’t even mention how many songs are about, related to or explore the theme of sex.

9. Students think songs are natural and fun

Well actually they are, aren’t they? Fun, even silly songs abound in English. Some singers actually made a career out of them. (Ray Stevens, anyone?) They make offbeat, fun changes of pace with classroom use.

These are only some of the many reasons songs are useful in the language learning classroom. They contain authentic language, are easily obtainable, provide vocabulary, grammar and cultural aspects and are fun for the students. They provide enjoyable speaking, listening, vocabulary and language practice both in and out of the classroom. So EFL, English as a foreign language, ESL, English as a Second language and foreign language teachers should all consider using songs as a regular part of their classroom activities.
