Became sick..

I was admitted to Hospital Slim River Ward 5 for diarrhea on Thursday. Only been discharged this morning after the doctor found me had no more fever. 4 days in ward was quite boring yet I learnt some things also. I will write on the next post because I just returned home and have to rest. See ya...

Don't you dare!

Learn from the Holy Scripture

"Say: He is ALLAH the One and Only".
Surah al-Ikhlas starts with the urge of accepting the Oneness of ALLAH. It states the foremost and fundamental doctrine of Islam (Tawhid) in 4 brief sentences, impresses on human memory and can be read and recited easily.

The quiet old abandoned train station.

Having the guts...
Driving to school everyday since last year have forced me to pass by this abandoned train station. I do not know when it was firstly built and started operating. But I have known this station since I was a small boy who loved and admired train travel.

Visiting the old buddy...
One day, after school I dropped by at the station and grabbed my camera to snap some photos of the station. The signboard actually made me reminiscing something I learnt from the past. It was a day when my family and I (Abah, Mak and me) were on the way to the station. (It was my first time getting chance to be there and boarded a train). My eyes were spontaneously attracted to the signboard. I was unable to read at the moment, yet I asked Mak, for what was that.. Mak answered me, by pronouncing a proper noun 'KUALA KUBU ROAD' which immediately saved in my schemata. From that day until I gain reading ability, I marked that as 'KUALA KUBU ROAD' even though I could not read.

The learning process...
What I did actually was making the whole thing as a symbol. Instead of identifying the alphabets carved on the signboard, I took Mak's answer of 'KUALA KUBU ROAD' as a mental image. It is similar to showing a toddler a real rabbit and say 'RABBIT'. The toddler definitely will have it as a mental image. If we say 'CAT' for rabbit, the toddler should have that as 'CAT' until he/she grown up and somebody corrected the concept.

Make use of it...
Now I use this learning nature to teach my children reading. Instead of spelling the alphabets "B-A" -->> "BA", I just showed them a card of single syllable which written there "BA" and say "BA". Believe me it works...
