Juvenil pregnancy is becoming a norm in our society.
Some school going students are so free to mingle around with opposite sex.
We are in the dark about their activities.
May be they study .
May be they are chit-chatting.
May be they are fooling around.
May be they just yam cha.
May be...
Parents are not informed about their whereabouts.
So pregnancy is one of the incidence may occur.

Ghost in school
A worker was working at night around 10pm in my school to do laboratory renovation. He enconuntered an object looked like a human being stood motionless in front of him. The object stared at him. He and his friends were so frightened to stare at the object. They knew it was a ghost or any being from the other realm of world. The object wore a white blouse ,legless and floating in the air. No sound.Silent.
There are many types of beings living in our space.They may be humans,animals,birds,two-legged ,three-legged,four-legged or many legged living beings in the sea,on the land or in the air.
Seen or unseen.Good or bad. Loving or fierce. Kind or bad-hearted.Clever or stupid.
Ensuring to have a healthy and prosperous life, we need to avoid evils and do more good deeds. Respect the seen and unseen beings. They will protect us. They will not harm us.They will help us in difficulties.
Don't fool them.
Don't look down upon them .
Don't be funny with them.
Don't make any requests from them.
Don't make any promise.
Then they will not hurt and harm you.
May the light of happiness shines on you always.

Love
A mother came to me to talk about her daughter's love problem. Her daughter is only 15.
She told me that her daughter has fallen in love with a guy in the town without her knowledge.
She is worried. Her husband had cried over it.
Her worries about her daughter are as follows.
1. Will she get pregnant?
2. Will she get raped?
3. Will she be cheated?
4. How is her future?
5. Will she marry young?
6. can the guy support her?
................................
Lately,the guy has bought a hand phone for her. They have contacts secretly. Some of the sms read as follows.
1. I want to die.
2. I love you.
3. I need you.
4. I want you.
and others.
Her mother cares.She wants to help.
I am of the view that both must sit down and talk it out.
The mother needs to discuss with her about
1. how the early love will affect her future life
2. the importance of education
3. the problems of setting up a family
4. the finance of a family
5. the children
6. the household chores
Her daughter must listen to the advice and experience given by her mother.
She needs to look into her parents' difficulties to run a family.
When both have understanding and common view, the problem will end automatically without any quarrels and sour face.
Falling in love in the early age is not encouraged and not suitable for students.
Pregnancy is common in the town.
It will ruin her and her husband.
They have no skills at all to set up a family.
They have financial constraints also.

Students insulted
A student has been absent for days after her final year exams.
My friend is curious about it. He inquires about her whereabout from her classmates.
He is informed that she doesn't like to go to school beacause she doesn't like a teacher.
She says the teacher always looks domn upon her, teases her and says sarcastic words to her. The teacher also passes bad comments on her academic results.
She feels insulted and not respected by the teacher. She wants to escape from the teacher.
As a teacher, he/she must have the patience and caring spirit in their teaching career. They must have the positive attitude to educate children without any biases. They must try all the effort to help the children to understand the academic materials. They must also try to understand the children's problem in learning processes.
Are they slow learners?
Are they equipped with all the necessary tools for learning?
How well is our teaching?
Can they follow the teaching?
Are we too enthusiastic to impart teaching materials?
Do we care about their capbilities?
Do we care only about results?
What is our right to look down upon them?
Can they comment on our teaching?
Can they look down upon us?
Do we deserve respect from them?
I wonder.

Indiscipline Students
Nowadays teachers face a lot of indiscipline students in the classrooms.
Students under their charge incessantly give rise to many uncontrollable behaviours.
They are not bothered about exercises given.
Their text books are just left idle at home.
They don't do revision.
Some of them are just sleeping in the class.
They fight.
They play truant...............
Who to blame?
Teachers blame parents.
Parents blame teachers.
Administors blames the staff.
The staff blame the administors.
No solution at the end of the blame.
I always encourage students to do self-reflection.
Self-reflection is a good practice and insightful . It helps one to know one's weaknesses and strenght.
After knowing self weaknesses and strenght, he/she will look for means to overcome their weak points and to strenghten their good points.
Then one will not repeat doing the same mistakes again.
One will not be lazy.
They will not idle their life.
They will always do good.
They will always avoid evils.
One will have far-sighted vision and mission in life.
They will seek spiritual happiness not material lust.
This practice needs patience and perseverance.
It will be a wonder for you.
Try it.

Surprise visit
My colleaque told me that our PPD paid a surprise visit to school at around 11 am today.
His visit was not noticed by anyone in the school.
My colleague was conducting a class lesson. She spotted the visit. She was panicked and asked all students to be in their classes respectively.
Our PPD toured the block Wawasan floor by floor. Nobody knew about his presence. Nobody aknowledged him. Many classes were without teachers. The students wee loitering outside the classes. It was noisy.
I support such surprise visit to schools. The visit will change the work culture in all schools. The teachers will be more responsible and dedicate.
In fact the school administrators always remind the staff to be in the class in the staff meetings. But it fails to change the teachers indifferent attitude.
Any solutions?

Discovery Methods
My school has daily asssembly for all students and teachers. We need to assemble according to classes and forms at designated places.
I am in-charge of Form 1,2 and 3 classes.
After morning prayer, we will check the students phisical appearance and discipline problems.
The Form 3 students are going to sit for their PMR exams next week. I notice that they are not bothered about the exams. They are not interested to prepare for the exams. My school has arranged classes to help them about techniques of answering questions.
School counsellors also give various types of advice for them to be well-prepared.
In my school days, my tceachers seldom gave such advice. We were in the dark about the exams format. We were not told about where to look for answers. We did not have extra classes also.
Yet we were able to obtain good results. Why?
I guess the methods used by my teachers involved a lot of discovery activities. We needed to look for answers ourselves. We needed to write or to make notes about reading materials by ourselves. So we were trained to be independent and self-reliant. indirectly we were more creative when facing problems in exams.
I suggest that teachers in schools should use more discovery methods in classes. Then the students will be more creative and self-independent.

Lunch in Bukit Tinggi
My family had vacation in KL during raya holidays.
On the way to KL, I purposely dropped in Bukit Tingggi for lunch. the place is recommended by my brother,Kong Yen. He said the pricing there is reasonable.
I am curious. I always wonder about the number of restaurants there. Can they survive?
How is the business?
Surprised. The number of customers was fantastic. Almost all the restaurants were full.
We were told that most of them came from Genting.
We settled at a restaurant which we thought it's food was not so delicious just because it had less customers.
We needed to wait for about 40 minutes for our food arrival. We ordered honey- flavoured pork,half piece of herbal chicken and a plate of vegetable. We enjoyed the food.
It cost us RM49.00 We are happy about it. It's out of our expectation.
After lunch we shopped the market for some fruits and vegetables.
My mother bought a packet of groundnuts for RM5.00 But the quality is bad.
One of the shop keeper told us that some customers visit Bukit Tinggi just to test their luck to have an experience of quake, if there is any.
