Pendidik Dahulu dan Sekarang

Lain Dahulu Lain Sekarang  oleh: Mohd Rosli saidin EPISOD 1: AWAL PAGI SI PENDIDIK PERANTAU Alarm berbunyi di celah kesenyapan subuh. Aku bangun, sendirian. Tiada sesiapa yang sediakan sarapan, tiada yang tolong panaskan air untuk mandi. Semua urusan dari A sampai Z, kena uruskan sendiri. Tapi dah jadi rutin, bangun awal, bersihkan diri, pastikan sempat ke masjid untuk solat berjemaah. Dalam sepi pagi itu, ada ketenangan yang ku cari. Lepas solat, barulah terasa semangat untuk mulakan hari. EPISOD 2: MISSION "CARI MAKAN" & PERJALANAN KE SEKOLAH Mission seterusnya: cari makan! Kalau rajin, masak nasik goreng sisa semalam. Kalau malas, beli kuih di gerai sepanjang jalan ke sekolah. Kaki ini melangkah pantas, atau naik basikal—teknologi canggih paling maksimum yang aku punya ialah basikal tua yang kadang-kadang bunyinya lebih kuat dari enjin kereta. Takde Grab, takde e-wallet. Duit syiling dan kertaslah sahabat setia. EPISOD 3: DI GARIS DEPAN TANPA SENJATA MODEN Ma...

Prescribing Problems in English Language

This is the section containing the instructions for the patient. Tab. is an abbreviation for Tablet. Now, we can do the same to English Language Teaching and Learning. for example: Noun Phrase problem code is written as, for example NP 2W which means, Noun Phrase to be in remedial program for 2 weeks. That makes perfect sense and is a fantastic analogy. I can  100% turn a diagnosis of an "English problem" into a "prescription" or "medicinal order" for a remedial program.  It's a brilliant way to frame an educational intervention plan. I am using medical terminology...

The Coffee People

  A Cup of    Coffee is What I Need by: Mohd Rosli Saidin There are ways which you can describe the 'coffee thing'...don't need others to agree with you...just take a sip and close your eyes... Style 1 - this is light and lively Yes — coffee, that beloved dark brew, is undeniably one of the most popular drinks in the world! Think about it: the aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning has the power to pull even the sleepiest soul out of bed. It’s more than just a drink — it’s a daily ritual , a small moment of comfort before the chaos of the day begins. Each sip feels like a warm handshake, a hug in a cup. From the bustling cafés of Paris to the quiet kopitiams of Malaysia, coffee connects people. It’s the friend that listens when you’re tired, the spark that wakes up your ideas, and sometimes, the silent companion during long, reflective nights. Yes, it’s true — coffee is popular. But more than that, it’s personal. Every cup carries a story: laughter shared acros...
