Happy Ramadhan Al- Mubarak

On 15th of September, B.Ed TESL IPKB-MARJON COHORT 1 students had organized a “Breaking fast activity with Marjon 2 students” at Tarbush Restaurant which situated in Kota Bharu.


The lecturers from Language Department, our Director as a special guest and Deputy Director had turned up to the occasion. It was really our pleasure to have them there. At 7.00 p.m,, almost everybody was in the room and the MC took over the ceremony. After hearing a few speeches, we broke of the fast together with some prayers.



The cuisines for that day were Arabian style Briyani (special dish in Tarbush), some desserts and drinks. Undoubtedly, the foods were really very delicious and still fresh in our tongues. To add grander to our occasion, the activity also coincided with our Miss Yusmiza’s birthday. All of us went to the stadium to complete our Tarawih Prayer before returning to the college.

We thanked the lecturers and students for attending our occasion despite the bad weather. This kind of activity should be done yearly in order to create a good bond between two different cohort students. It serves like a platform for us to get to know each other better.

Social Studies Exhibition

This Social Studies Exhibition was the first exhibition that we conducted in our institute. Normally, we organized activities outside our institute. We started off collecting articles on various types of topic which include the main topic ‘Conflict and Resolution’. All the hard work designing the best work had paid off well during the day of exhibition.




Each group brought their best product that they had been working hard on the previous week. After all the preparation, we officially started our exhibition by given the first hand job to our SS lecturers, evaluating our work as this was part of our assignment.
The lecturers of course provide us with a lot of critical thinking questions and we found that interesting and more importantly beneficial. All the relevant questions asked were answered and to be further analysed. We also took this opportunity to learn from our mistake and attentively obeyed the lecturer’s comment.




This exhibition was later open to public and we really received a warm respond from the institute. In addition, our presentation comprised of many types of innovative media helped to bring the event to success. The video, music, real life object, and poems were the main attractions of the day. We manage to explained how conflict started and how to resolve it with fact-based true stories.
Lastly, the exhibition were officially closed when our Director, Mr. Hashim Bin Deraman came over to visit our station. He was pleased and amazed with our job and hope that we can produced more quality exhibition in the institute the near future.

Happy Independence Day!!!

On the eve of Independence Day (30 August 2008), Marjon 1 was excited to be in Wawasan Hall and we were ready to countdown so that we could shout 'Merdeka!" together. We were very proud of our class because our class is multiracial and we never compared anything between ourselves.





Furthermore, we also participate in the 'best costume' competition for that night and guess what?? We won!.. well, we won as the first runner up.. But, it was fun and shocking! We never thought that we could win at all. So, Happy Independence Day you guys!! Malaysia Boleh!! Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan!

3,2,1 ACTION!!!

Our class had been assigned to do a theatre performance as our assignment for English Studies. This theatre performance is based on William Shakespeare’s novel entitled The Merchant of Venice. This story was about Antonio, a rich merchant who had risks his life for his close friend, Bassanio. In order to help his friend, Antonio had to borrow money from Shylock, a person who was hated him so much. This had led to many conflicts and ended with a tragic ending.


This theatre had been performed in front of 250 people on 27 August 2008 at Bakti Hall. Our theatre started at 8 pm; however, in order to make sure everything was under control, all of us had gathered at the hall since morning and settled down all the unfinished work. On that night, the audience seemed to be very satisfied and impressed with our performance. All of them had enjoyed and felt happy with our performance. Apart from that, we also gave them a lucky draw too.



The day after the play, we had received so many compliments from our lecturers and friends. However, the nice feeling of receiving compliments cannot beat the feeling of being able to do something which required great effort and determination. This is because during a month of preparation, we had faced so many problems as we did not have experience of producing a theatre. However, all of us managed to handle it as we were so united, helped each other and worked days and nights just to produce a perfect theatre which will be one of our sweet memories.

• Finally on the 11th until 14th August 2008, our IPKB-IPGAYA Colloquium 2008 has come to reality. The main aim is to build a closer relationship between the Marjon 1 students from IPKB and IPGAYA was definitely achieved through this project. Arriving at 1 o’clock in the morning, we were nicely welcomed by the students and some lectures at IPGAYA.
• Besides the formal teaching & learning in class, we also used the opportunity to play Ping Pong together as it is in the Co-Curricular Activities (CCCA) syllabus and also watched their ‘The Merchant of Venice’ play rehearsal.The experience going to class and study with them for almost a week actually help us to enhance not only our relationship but also our study and learning skills as we mingle and share lots of new things together.

• Moreover, our program there became more meaningful with the presence of our Deputy Director and also an officer from the HEP department of the TED to support our programme and also shared experience and gave motivation talks to us.
