The Beginning of Another Semester

Today, the May 2008 semester begins.

There will be an orientation today for the new students. So, all my classes will only commence tomorrow.

If you are confused with everything that is happening (i.e. subject registrations, classroom clashes, classrooms packed like sardines, lectures cancelled even though they should be on, lectures starting without you, etc), don't fret - I'm just as confused as you! Let's just hope all these things get fixed real soon.

Exams Are Over!

By now, most of my students would have finished sitting for their examinations. I do not know if they still have their Religious/Moral Studies exam paper to take, but I know for a fact that the sitting for my papers have ended.

In fact, I have been steadily marking exam papers for a few days now. I should be marking them now, but I've decided to take a short break and just write abit. Just a little distraction for me. It's exhausting work, I tell you...

Well, dear students. How was it? Too easy (I believe most of it is!)? Or too tough? Either way, you should take the time to relax now and go have some fun. Do not worry about the results yet (some of you have started asking me about it already...). All will be revealed in due time - and according to my calculations, sometime around the end of May or maybe early June. Don't quote me on that though. Only the Exam Unit will know.

Ok, enough of ranting.

With my trusty red ball-point pen and an almost empty strip of Paracetamol, I now go back to the pile of exam papers on my desk...

Tun Dr. Mahathir and his blog

Everyone is starting to blog! Even our former prime minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir has set up a blog of his own at www.chedet.com. His blog is titled simply Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. The first entry into his blog was at 1.47 am on the 1st of May 2008. And judging from the number of comments seen at his blog, his first foray into blogosphere looks like a success.

In case you didn't know, Che Det is Dr. M's pet nickname as a child and he used it as a pen name many many years ago before he became the prime minister of Malaysia. Now he's using it again to write in cyberspace.

This will be one blog to watch!
