The movie is about Akeelah Anderson, an 11 years old girl from south Los Angeles. This is a very entertaining movie on a girl’s passion on spelling. I can say that she’s born with a gift for words. Her passion and dedication to the game of spelling bee made her champion of the national spelling bee competition even though her mother was against her at the early part. This has taught me something that can be applied not only as being a teacher, but also as an individual. To be good in something, one needs to have a great passion for it.
I really love this movie as it portrayed that we are powerful if we think we are. Human have talents in various field and all we need to do is just discover them for our own good.

Julia Roberts played the main character in this movie. The setting of this movie is in 1953, the time when women’s role were rigidly defined, free spirited teaching at all female Wellesley College. Played the role as Professor Katherine Watson, she starts teaching in the college with the environment where success is measured by how well the students marry. As a teacher, she is always encouraging her students to study in order to become a professional in their career. The story revolved Watson with her students - Elizabeth "Betty" Warren, Giselle Levy, Constance "Connie" Baker and Joan Brandwyn. Watson chooses to leave after one year and as she is leaving the campus, her students follow her car, to show their affection. Watson shows that the teacher who never gives up with their students will succeed in his or her mission and the students will love the students that can change them become a good person.

~Lean on Me~
The movie is about Joe Clark, an arrogant teacher a principal at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey. Clark has to fight against the city official that threatens to undo all his efforts. He tries to stop the government from taking control of the school. Even the teachers and his own boss resented and doubted him, the kids still loved him. He finally turned Eastside around and appearing on the cover of Time Magazine and become a national symbol of tough-love education. Clark always tell his students to not blaming on their background if they didn’t succeed in their life.
I think this movie was interesting even though the way Clark control the school is quite “extreme”.

fable....
sequence.
This time we need to create our own fable during tutorial class. The fable must be modern but it has to show the morality and good deeds. This task need to done in group and I was joining Amir, Khairul and Fazzli. Our group is lucky to have Khairul because he is good in drawing. After discussing the fable that we will draw, we finally choose to use the story of vampire. The story is about the little vampire disobey his mother and got burnt by the sun. Even though it is the simple fable but it is quite unique because we didn’t provide the dialogue.

Saieen Zahor vs Lady Gaga
I remember that Dr. Jaya showed us two music videos. One is Toomba by Saieen Zahoor and the second is Lady Gaga’s Alejandro. This is the first time I’m watching the video of Saieen Zahoor. It is a nice song to listen even it is quite a traditional type of music.
The second video was Alejandro by Lady Gaga. We were only told to listen to the song since there were “inappropriate” scenes in the music video. I’m not sure what the “inappropriate” scenes are but when I myself found the video of the song and watch it, I think nothing is “inappropriate”.Maybe Br. Jaya has his own reason for not showing us the video.
I must say that I enjoy both of the song shown by Dr. Jaya and as always he choose the interesting song and video to shown to us.

Drow Games
For tutorial class with Miss Amelia and Miss Alicia, we were asked to go to the RC. We have been divided into two groups. One group has to come at 2-3 and the other group has to come at 3-4. And I was in the first group. I was wondering what my friends and I will do in the RC. But I was really excited to hear that we just have to play an internet game called Drow Games.
But we have to register first before we start to play the game. For this game, I have to play with my friends because this game needs me to compete with my partner. Basically it is the word game and the word ‘drow’ itself comes from ‘word’. We need to collect as many points as we can. The winner will get the ipod and other prizes. So, all of us are really excited to play this game and get the prizes.
