i honestly do not have anything to talk about at the moment.
well, there was the aLIVE seminar this morning at the Grassroots Club, attended by some teachers and parents from a mosque which jointly organized the seminar.

you know how people nowadays like to jump into conclusions without really know someone or something? without taking the effort to go beyond face value or beyond the physical impressions. or like thinking a class just full of plays when actually a lot of input was done in it. like the amout or talking and explaining, the number of activities and brainstorming the students need to do. well, that’s the rule of change. there’s always bound to be the hiccups to a good change. when there’s reaction from the public, it means they care, they want to know.

i’m just trying to recall what our deputy mufti conveyed in the seminar. the philosophy of teaching, the mechanisms needed in educating a child. everybody in the teaching line would know, how difficult it is to design a curriculum which not only teaches all these aspects, but needed to be age appropriate, relevant to the generation and challenges these students are facing, and how effective it has to be for the children to at least understand and find what they learn something meaningful. and oh let’s not forget the different learning styles the students have. so you need to design something which every students (of different attitudes, learning styles, capability, understanding, concentration) can relate to, not just one mode of teaching.

and there are some people who think teaching, particularly the revamped islamic education system, easy or play or no input whatsoever. the years it went through to get to where it is now, i am honestly in awe. it’s always better to get to know more about something before spewing judgements, ain’t it so?

the thing with working with an organization, you learn a lot of things you never thought of, and you learn how hard and pressurised it is to work for the community, but a percentage of the community do not have full trust or belief on the efforts done. it really made me wonder why. when all we are trying to do is to improve for the betterment of the community, and living in a multi-racial country, which is truly dominated by other race, you have all this pressure from others. it’s called structural opposition.

at the same time, there are only a small group of people who strives and brainstorms for the community, while the majority doesn’t. but that’s the way life is, i suppose.

ok, this is what happens when i start to think too much. i ramble.

get out of comfort zone people. wake up, true leaders, we need you all now.
