SK NANGA KAIN 2009..the year that was....

hehehe...just want to re-cap everything that happened and the ups and downs of SK Nanga Kain throughout 2009...and about what i did this year. c'mon, this blog is about something by me, right?

SK Nanga Kain had a bit of a rough start when there were only 7 teachers in the school. most of the teachers got their transfer at the end of 2008. but that was all over when we were informed there were 10 teachers posted to our school. 9 were from the peninsular malaysia and one sarawakian. the new sarawakian teacher arrived earlier than anyone else, well, because she was the closest.

the rest of the team came the second week of january; but here's the let down. only seven new teachers from semenanjung malaysia, the other two were reposted to other schools for some God-knows-what reasons. hah...i bet those two kicked themselves hard on their tusch if they knew the other seven were doing fine, here in SK Nanga Kain. but then, the rubbish bin tipped over, when suddenly a newspaper article reported something negative about the teachers from semenanjung malaysia. c'mon... newspaper people, don't you have anything good to say? the newspaper outrageously put in SK Nanga Kain into the light, stating that the locals were concerned about the welfare of their children due to the numbers of semenanjung malaysia teachers coming to our school. i think i want to swear first.... *@#*&%#@ newspaper! no such thing! the teachers were doing great, they did their job, the locals were fine with them and i heard no complaints whatsoever. so, newspaper people, please, get your resources straight. that bloody @%#*&$@# newspaper reporter...!

later throughout the year, there were tears when Mdm Dayang Mengsupia got her transfer to Kuching. the staffs were devastated and the students were emotionally crushed to hear the news. we had a special assembly on the day of her departure, and i had to gave a short speech on behalf of the headmaster. OMG, that was the hardest thing that i had to do, and i was choking inside trying to hold back my emotion; but it was to no avail. then it was mdm dayang's turn to give her speech.

she said it was hard for her to leave the school, but she had to due to her illness. the students cried the most, since she was the closest to the these students. madam dayang, we wish you a good health and a pleasant days ahead. as a gesture of appreciation, mr jesion and i made a special video presentation for her. a few months later, mr. abang got his transfer too.







then, there was Teachers' Day celebration. very, very happening. there were tonnes of photos and a couple of video made for this occasion. the best part of that day was the sukaneka (..or telematch. is the usage of this word correct?) OMG, we had the best fun, playing games, laughing (at each other, mostly) and having fun with the students. hehehe...that was great! oopss...i made two videos for that special day. watch them! hehehe...

2009 was a great year for the athletes from our school. the students were very much involved in sports. we had our own mini sports day, twice, this year. we had football matches, netball tournaments and the athletics competition. all the practice paid off when SK Nanga Kain won almost all events during the sports day in SK Nanga Stapang.

not forgetting the national day celebration that was held in august. it was a great time for us in SK Nanga Kain to show our appreciation and love to our beloved country.

this was also a great time for the students to show their talents too. the students performed well in singing and cultural dance. you can see the videos on youtube or just keep on scrollin' below...hehehe









2009 was also the year for the culture. as you can see from my previous blog entries, SK Nanga Kain excelled mostly in the performing arts.i'm not going to re-embed the videos here. scroll down, and you'll find 'em. hehehe....

so, that was it. it was a year to remember. really, it was a great year for us in SK Nanga Kain. personally, i'm tired...but in a good way. hopefully, next year will be even greater. DIRGAHAYU SK NANGA KAIN.

two hearts become one...

congratulations!
SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU....

My Personal Pick

a bit on Annie Lennox and the song.

Annie Lennox (born 25 December 1954) is a Scottish musician and recording artist. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, Lennox showed aptitude in music when she was a child and later studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She began her recording career as a member of the British pop band The Tourists, and subsequently formed the synth pop duo Eurythmics with former bandmate David A. Stewart. The duo gained international prominence over the course of the 1980s with singles such as "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and "Here Comes the Rain Again".
In the 1990s, Lennox embarked on a solo career beginning with her debut Diva (1992), which produced the hit singles "Why" and "Walking on Broken Glass". In 2004, she won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West", written for the original soundtrack to the feature film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Following the release of her fourth studio album Songs of Mass Destruction (2007), Lennox released her first compilation album The Annie Lennox Collection in 2009.
In addition to her career as a musician, Lennox is also a political and social activist, leading such events as an anti-war rally in London on 3 January 2009 in response to the conflict in Gaza. She also objected to the unauthorised use of the 1999 Eurythmics song "I Saved the World Today" in an election broadcast for Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Known as a pop culture icon for her distinctive contralto vocals and visual performances, Lennox has been named "The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive" by VH1 and one of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine. She has earned the distinction of 'most successful female British artist in UK music history' due to her global commercial success since the early 1980s. Including her work within Eurythmics, Lennox is one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 80 million records worldwide.

"Waiting in Vain" is a song written and recorded by reggae musician Bob Marley for his 1977 album Exodus. Released as a single, it hit number twenty-seven in the UK Singles Chart. "Waiting in Vain" was covered by Annie Lennox for her album Medusa. It was released as the album's third single in 1995 and reached number thirty-one on the UK singles chart.

no time for the prejudice!

World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection.

AIDS has killed more than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007, and an estimated 33.2 million people worldwide live with HIV as of 2007, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 2 million lives in 2007, of which about 270,000 were children.

The Red Ribbon is the international symbol of support for people living with HIV. Wearing a red ribbon is a great way to raise awareness about HIV as well as to break down stigma and prejudice, so make sure you get yours in time for World AIDS Day!

my PERSONAL PICK!

"The Hardest Button to Button" is a 7" single by the American alternative rock band The White Stripes. It is the third single from their album Elephant. Jack White says that the song is about a child trying to find his place in a dysfunctional family when a new baby comes.The music video for "The Hardest Button to Button" is the third White Stripes video directed by Michel Gondry, after "Fell in Love with a Girl" and "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" (two years later, he would direct the music video for "The Denial Twist").

The video utilizes pixilation animation to create the effect of dozens of drum kits and guitar amplifiers multiplying to the rhythm of the song as Jack and Meg perform. For example, in one sequence, Meg is seen playing the bass drum at a subway station. At every beat she plays, she appears with a new bass drum while the last becomes vacant. This was achieved by first setting up a trail of bass drums. Then, Meg would be filmed performing a single beat on the last drum in the line, followed by the removal of that drum. Meg would then proceed to the next drum, play another beat, and so on. The final video is edited to include the drum beats with the sequence reversed, making it appear as if the drums are being added to the beat, appearing out of thin air. As many as 80 identical bass drums and Fender guitar amps were used in the video.Much of the video was filmed around Riverside Drive and the Columbia University area near Grant's Tomb and around the 125th Street exit and surrounding neighborhood, - all part of the Upper West Side in Manhattan - New York City. Parts of the video were filmed at the 33rd Street PATH station.There is a short cameo by Beck about two and a half minutes in as a man in a white suit presenting Jack with a "box with something in it".

overdue - the three weeks' posts

Well, now it's the time for a long...very long... holiday.

As you can see, i haven't posted anything on my blog for the last two weeks. A lot happened in those two weeks, and now i'm trying to squeeze in everything that happened in those two weeks. I 'm going to do this in sequence. So, this will be my longest blog post ever. Hehehe...

post no. 1
The real story about this post was it was written on the 14th November2009. Just keeep on reading then you'll know why it took such a long time to be posted here.

14th November 2009
Wow….i haven’t posted anything new for the past few days. I’ve been to SK Nanga Stapang, in Kapit, for an inter-school sports and cultural competition, and what a great news I have for you! Let’s do this in stages okay….and I’m highlighting only the main events.

Well, first, SK Nanga Kain (our team) lead by Mr. Jesion and Mr. Ridzuan as the team managers went to SK Nanga Stapang. The athletes from our team took part in all the events, and won most of them. CONGRATULATIONS to our soccer team for winning first place; and for the netball team for winning third. Also, congratulations to the athletics team for winning in most of the track events. Oops…the participants weren’t teachers, they’re students. Hehehe.

Came the highlight of the athletics events, the teachers from our school also took part in the invitational track event. Mr. Zairy, Mr. Ridzuan, Mr. Semang and Wilson Lenggang’s mom won third place in the 4x200 meter race. Hats off to you guys!

Hahaha…our Headmaster; Mr. Kadum; also took part in a very special 100 meter race and he won second place. Congratz to you too, sir.

The best part was winning the cultural events. Our team won in both Ethnic Creative and pop Poco-Poco dance categories. My salute to Mr. Jesion and his dancers for winning both! I’m sooo…proud of them!

Our school also took part in the pop Poco-Poco dance for teachers and staffs’ category. The dancers were Mr. Jesion, Ms. Nurnasyiha, Mr. Zairy, Mr. Patrick, Mr. Ridzuan and Mdm. (auntie) Roselind. They won third place!

The final cultural showcase was the dikir barat recital in Iban Language by the students and Mr. Patrick. This team was trained by Mr. Patrick and Mr. Awie.

Wow, it was an unforgettable experience in SK Nanga Stapang. My sincerest thanks to the school’s headmaster, Mr. Boniface. A very special thank you goes out to Miss Nicky Amanda for providing a comfortable nest for us to sleep in.

Note :
what a drag! i've lost the pictures created especially for this post. but, i'm working on this problem. so just wait ok....the above post was intended to be posted on the 14th November 2009, but all was in vain when the flood hit our school later in the afternoon on the same day. Here's the story.

Post no. 2
17th November 2009
The great River Balleh flood.

Well, the reason I haven’t posted anything for the last few days was that our school was hit by a massive flood. The entire school was under water…well, not really, some of the classes were underwater, and everyone in the school didn’t expect that the flood would be that worse. Just imagine how tired we were; packing and moving all the things from the houses and classes, then rushing like mad when the water level risen drastically. Luckily, some of the teachers’ quarters were on a higher ground.

A few of the victims ( teachers…hehehe) stayed at my place for a few days. To make matters worse, there was no electricity for three days. So kasihan (pity) that mr zairy, mr ridzuan and miss..eh..mr jesion had to stay at my place. But, there was a silver lining to every dark clouds, we felt really united and together. We had our meals together, we chit-chat until late at night, and cracked jokes every now and then. Ooh..and we helped each others a lot too.

After two very wet days, finally, the flood's over. cleaning up time. some of the parents and students came to help the teachers clean up the teachers' quarters and the classrooms.

Sorry, I don’t have any photos of my own for this post yet, but I’m working on it. So, just watch out for this spot, okay. I wonder if mr. Ridzuan posted some of the pictures on his blog or facebook? yupp..he did, and here are some of  them. well, mostly with he himself in it of course.

all photos courtesy of this dude, mr ridzuan. mentioned several times in my blog. thanks riz.
RIZ, pinjam gambar2 ni boleh?

What a sad day for some of us here in SK Nanga Kain. It is the last day of school for the students, and it is the the time to say goodbye for the Year Six students. Their examination result is out today, and they scored well in their examination. Overall, the students passed the exam; with the score of 75% passing. I'm so proud of these kids. As you can see, these kids were featured in three of my unofficial White Shoes and the Couples Company videos. Personally, i would like to thank them for allowing me to feature them in all the videos. I'm not going into details because i'm still feeling bluesy about them leaving the school for the last time.

( ok, these posts are well overdued, but do forgive me for posting this late. at the moment, i'm having a bit of a rough time i'm sure enough you wouldn't be interested in knowing. insyallah, i will keep my blog well managed and properly attended to. thanks - tauhhid )

watch out for a new post..tomorrow!

i have something new for you guys....but not now. i'm still very...very...very...tired. tomorrow, okay. hehehe...

secret's out...

This is my final project for this year. Well, the video hasn’t been uploaded yet, but insyallah, it will. But for now, do feast your eyes with these video stills.

This will be my final unofficial music video for White Shoes And The Couples Company. I will not be making anymore music video for next year, or maybe ever. The video will complete my White Shoes And The Couples Company unofficial music video trilogy. I would like to extend my greatest and sincerest gratitude and thanks to the band for their understanding and for allowing me to use their songs in the videos.

I would also like to thank the mamarock films™ crew for their support in making the videos:

jesion, laura, rufina, desmond, m zairy.

To all the models ( all of which are my students ) :

augustine, bhrusly, catherine, christina, desmond, francis, gillian, icha, imanuel, jessica, karthina, nadia, nelson, nike ardilla, patricia, patricia aina, patricia liza, petrik, samentha, singgal, sofia sebai, wilson, wilson phillips and winnie.

Will this be the end for mamarock films™? No. Not for other short film projects. Just wait and see.

the technique of one-shot filming. second, the music sounds cool. hmm...great video, plus great music equals MY PERSONAL PICK. ladies and gentlemen, i present to you, AGRIKULTURE - New Day

http://www.virtualmalaysia.com

run...kids, run!

hehehe...let's forget about my so-called secret for a while.

a few weeks ago my school had a mini sports-day event. practically, the teachers and staffs were all busy with the mind-blowingly (is there such word?) packed schedule. mind you, everyone was in charge of something; and i was in charge of photography and videos. the warmth of the equatorial sun, the gentle dry breeze and the coolness of the soft grass beneath our feet were minusculed (again..is there such word?) by the excitement of the students running around the field. such innocence, carefree spirit and joy.

hush....i've a secret...

i'm planning a project now, and it'll be my last project for this year. hush........

what the world needs now

Dove and olive branch

In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam an olive branch is a sign for peace. The Torah, The Old Testament and The Qur'an describe a story in which a dove was released by Noah after the Great Flood in order to find land. The dove came back carrying an olive branch in its beak, proof for Noah that the Great Flood had receded. (Book of Genesis 8:11).

In Greek tradition, olive branches represent peace.The plant was considered sacred to the ancient goddess of wisdom, Athena.

Defeated Roman armies displayed olive branches as a white flag to indicate surrender.

The motif can also represent "hope for peace" and even a peace offering from one man to another, as in the phrase "extend an olive branch".

Peace dove graffiti in Madrid. The Castilian Spanish "paz" translates to "peace".
