Active Learning, Reflection and Modelling (ARM) in TECOF 2019

On 6 June 2019, I was invited to share my experience and knowledge regarding the pedagogy and teaching and learning of mathematics. I chose to present the topic of "Using ARM theory for practical learning". The programme was part of the Teachers' Conference 2019 (TECOF Mathematics 2019) held from 6 to 7 July 2019 at Premiera Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. There were about 14 other speakers from various backgrounds speaking at the conference.

It's been a while since I gave a presentation in a teaching an...

Life through my eyes 3: from teaching to leading Book Launch - 22 June 2019

Life through my eyes 3: from teaching to leading was successfully launched at MPH Mid Valley yesterday, 22 June 2019. It was a very special event and date for me.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all my family members, friends and colleagues who came to celebrate at the book launch with me. I am so happy to feel your support and love throughout the journey of the three books. You guys are so thoughtful to give up your time to be with me for that special moment 

Done the first phase of 2019

Ramadhan 2019 is already coming to an end. I have a week more of work before going back home to Alor Setar for the Raya celebration.

These past few months have taught me many valuable learning experiences. It made me tense and stressed much of the time but I have also enjoyed some moments every now and then.

In the past few months I learnt how to manage the procurement process for hundreds of schools in a short period of time. I was so busy trying to finish the work on time - working tirelessly...

The field work in Sarawak

Kuala Lumpur - Kuching - Sibu - Miri - Mulu - Miri - Kuala Lumpur
That was the sum up of all the places I visited for field work in just a week. It was an amazing and interesting experience for me to get this opportunity. Being back in Sarawak after the 3 months training in 2017, was something that I never expected to happened this soon. 
This time around the visit was not only in Kuching but also we travelled to Miri, Sibu and Mulu! Anyway, here are some updated of what learnt during the...

Dealing with data management and precision

As a person who likes to plan and look at things in the bigger picture, I have found managing data to be quite hard work. Especially when the data comes in various forms and in volume.
However, I have found that one needs to be patient and focussed to make sure you can be precise and correct. To check the data one by one; to revisit the same data; to make sure that the data remains same between what you receive and what you key in; all of these are a new set of skills that I am trying to build...

time for an update: easy to work in a team?

I think now is the right time for me to write a bit after a period of ignoring my hobby of reflecting in this blog. I usually find time to think about what to write and then just write. However, recently, I have thought about what write, but then delayed and forgot what to write.
Anyway, my writing today is pertaining to the topic of motivating team mates. I think when working in a big group it is not easy for everyone to have the same motivation and impact towards the goal. Especially when in...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019! I hope it's not too late for me to wish a happy new year. I think as long as it is January, it is acceptable right? As per usual, when it's new year, the time seems to fly so fast in the blink of an eye even just last week was still 2018.
While I was enjoying my 2018 with some small changes in life, 2019 will come with more exciting things. Some of the highlights of 2018: I did Umrah with my mom, dad and younger sister (amazing spiritual experience and hope to go there aga...

3 days 2 nights of Team Building

I have just returned from a refreshing 3 days and 2 nights team building activity. It was an amazing experience and I was so lucky to be able to attend the pogramme. I was not sure I could attend the programme at first, because there were another programme at the same time. Then when it was cancelled, I had the opportunity!
  The programme was organised by the department I am working at now - Procurement and Asset Management Department of the Ministry of Education. There were about 28 part...
