A Late Happy Teacher's Day Wish

      I know I'm two days late but I'd still like to wish Happy Teacher's Day to everybody who has ever contributed towards somebody else's learning! (Why must I always make sentences that confuse people?)

   So far, this year has been a blast. I got my posting, started work as a teacher and also discovered that there is so much that I don't know about being a teacher. Every little thing that happens in school is a reminder that I must never stop learning, and that being a teacher does not mean I have stopped being a student. My goal is to help everybody around me, especially my pupils, learn something that will help them to become a better person than they are now. My ultimate goal in teaching is to gain Allah's pleasure.

   There is so much that I'd like to share with you. I'd like to tell you how much better 2D has become... how much happier and more confident i feel now when stepping into a class. But for now, I'd just like to wish all my teachers and  lecturers and even Mum, Dad and my family members who have taught me so much about life.

   Happy Teacher's Day! May Allah bless you :)

Kursus Pemantapan Guru Baru

   A few days ago, I got a phone call from JPN.

   Yes folks, I'm going for a three-day course at Kuala Terengganu! Yehhu! It'll be nice to go on a trip and be with friends.

   I'll take lots of pictures and blog about it.

   Terengganu... here I come!

   Are there any blog readers who are also going?:D

Tutorial: Colour Printing

   Assalamualaikum and hello everybody! I hope you're all well.

   Even though I'm busy with school, I don't mean to abandon this blog. I could write a lot of random posts but that won't be fun, so I decided that I'd do a series of tutorials that might be useful to you. They're actually not really tutorials- just ideas and tips that I have learned while doing my work.

   Let's start. Ever since I entered my training institute, I've been used to having my own printer and computer or laptop. Life doesn't feel complete without them. To date, I've bought/owned (and disposed some of) 5 printers. Yeah. All were colour printers, and 4 were Canon ones. My favourite printers are definitely from the Canon series, I think they have the easiest user interface and they're also easy to handle.

   Anyway, whatever brand of printer you use doesn't matter in this tutorial. What I want to yalk about is how to make sure that what you print is the exact shade of colour that you want. Let me explain. A lot of times I find that the colour that I selected/used in whatever documents that I create using my laptop is not the same on screen and off screen. For example, magenta sometimes come out as red, dark blue comes out as a different shade than the one you see on your laptop screen and so on.

   This is what I did.

   Step 1

Select font colour

Step 2

Select 'more colours'

 Step 3

This is what will come out

Step 4

To ensure a sharper and better quality image, enlarge the pop-up screen by dragging at the corner.

 

Step 5

Click on 'Print Screen' (or it may be written as PrtSc on your keyboard).

Open Paint.

Select 'Edit' and 'Paste'.

Edit as necessary.

   But hey, you know what, I decided to make life a lot easier for you. Below is the picture of the colour diagram that I got. I printed it out (you can either print is an image or paste it into word before printing it out). I paste it on my wall and I refer to the colour that HAS BEEN PRINTED before choosing the colour to use in my laptop. This way you can determine the shade of colour that you really want and expect it to come out.

 

   I realise that my explanations are all over the place, so if you can't make out head from tail on this post, shoot me a question and I will do my level best to answer!

Dreams

   I wonder if I'll have received my wages by the time my blog gets to 50,000 views. I could do something fun like a giveaway. Woooohhh....

   Yeah. Dream on.

It's not wrong to dream, huh?

Teachers: Jack of All Trades

   Yes. That's what we are. Sometimes I wonder how I'm ever going to manage all these things that I have to do. There's so much work, aside from teaching. Teaching makes up just a tiny bit of what teachers have to deal with at school. Sometimes I wonder if the tasks teachers have to complete (apart from classroom activities) defeat the purpose of their original job. At the moment, I don't have as much to do as the seniors teachers do. They are so busy, that I wonder how they manage their own personal lives. 

   I found this somewhere on the internet, and I thought, how true! I'm not married and of course have no kids of my own, but after I started work it's like I gained a whole bunch of children to look after.
