Assalamualaikum,

its been a while.. my reasons are: lazy, busy, lazy and very very busy.. oh well dunno what makes me wanna blog now.. but i know that i just want to point out something.. i just got home from work around 3-ish pm.. was really tired and exhausted.. at 1st i decided to take a rest and went to sleep.. then i switched on my tv and watched National Treasure on star movies.. so i skipped my plan to sleep coz i love that movie so much..

the movie ended at 5pm.. i was bored.. waiting for B to come home.. so i browsed thru all the channels.. seemed like nothing interesting were on.. so lame.. then while i was clicking the channel from channel 15 until 23.. i stopped at channel 19.. the movie I Not Stupid 2 was on.. i havent watch that movie ever even the 1st movie.. so i was like.. its not gonna kill me if i watch singaporean movie.. at 1st i tot it was gonna be a lil bit bored and funny here and there.. but i was totally wrong.. i enjoyed watching it from the beginning until the end.. all i can say is that.. it was by far the best singaporean movie i ever watched.. (since i dun remember watching other singapore movies).. that movie really opened my eyes about life.. children.. being a parents and an educator..

here is a lil bit info abt the movie:
Set in Singapore’s fast-paced modern society, the narrative progresses through the eyes of 8-year-old Jerry Yeo as he and his older brother, Tom, face the pressures of school and demands of their wealthy but ever-bickering parents, Steven and Karen. Along also for the ride is Tom’s friend, Chengcai, who is often misunderstood by his teacher at school, and whose own predicament with his single hawker-stall owning father reveals the film’s deep concern with the generation gap between its characters. Through Tom and Chengcai, the film also delves into juvenile delinquency as a result of this breakdown in communication, while Jerry simultaneously runs around trying to get his parents to attend his upcoming performance in school, and succeeds eventually.

The film is about the lives of 15-year-old Tom and his 8-year old brother Jerry, and their friend, 15-year-old Chengcai. This satirical comedy touches on various issues facing Singaporean teens today, particularly lack of communication between parents and children, and lack of appreciation for good work.

wat strike me the most abt this movie is that i am an educator.. a teacher.. who teaches students.. i learned something useful and valuable frm the movie.. i realise that in order to give a better teaching and learning for the students.. we musnt force them.. we musnt be the enemy.. we musnt try to condemn the pupils.. we musnt give them the hard time.. a good pupil will behave badly if they always under alot of pressure and being scold everytime they make a tiny mistake.. i have learned that by giving moral support, compliments (even they do bad in calculation), appreciation and communicate well with them.. they will feel honored and proud of themselves and they will be a better person.. scold them all the time is not really a good thing to do.. even they do bad in maths, we shudnt scold and yell at them and humiliate them in the class or else their motivation will go down as well as their self-esteem.. we must give them a good compliment and support them to try even harder.. motivate them.. giving rewards.. praises.. and appreciations.. *sigh* i learned so much from that movie.. so if u guys havent watch it.. i recommmend it.. the story is not just about life in school.. it also tells about life at home.. the communications between parents and children..

ok.. i mau masak lu eheheh so il blog again next tym.. dun forget to watch I Not Stupid 2.. thanks y'all.. lubs ya.. muackz!!
