Update

Dear student bloggers,

Congratulations to a job well done!  I am happy to say that some of the blogs are very good and I have even gained some tips from them.

However, there are some of you who have not updated your blogs according to the topics.  Thus, please update the blogs based on the given topics as I'd be grading them this Friday (March 25, 2011) up till the topics for Week 7.  As for the topics for Week 8, please blog on topic 1 (To cheat or not to cheat), and choose another topic for your second posting.

Meanwhile, to those who have not watched Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, fret not.  Over the weekend, just blog about an English movie that you have watched, telling us about your pre-movie expectations, and your post-movie experience. To the ones who have watched, please tell us what you think of the movie, ok?

For me, I think that the movie is one the best Malay movies that I have watched, well, probably at the same par as some of P. Ramlee's best movies.  Except for a few glitches (esp when I noticed that the extras had neat, well-trimmed hair which was quite a stark contrast to the main characters!), I was quite enthralled by the movie.  My son could not stop talking about the movie for days! He even memorized the pantun from the movie - "sampai masa tibanya waktu, redup hati kaum berdua, bila dua jasad bersatu, hidup mati jadi bersama"

All in all, just make sure that you complete your blogging assignment by next week, as I will finalize the grades on Monday, April 4, 2011. 

Have fun, bloggers!!!
