Thoughts From TDM

Kem Serumpun Satu Malaysia

2009-11-13T03:57:00.000-08:00

I was informed to attend a camp called One Root, One Malaysia (Satu Rumpun Satu Malaysia) at the nick of time after getting back recklessly from a website building course held by Educational Technological Development Centre of Papar. I felt dishearten as i was about to lose my chance to participate the inter-dorm sport competition, that was unfortunately colliding with the same date of the camp.Nevertheless, the negative feeling started to fade away as I was starting to enjoy the camp after experience it myself. Being as the companied teacher, this is my story...

I arrived hastily at DZ Nature Resort, Ulu Kimanis at noon, as I was asked to bring fourteen trays and cups for my starving students who were too shy to ask for plates from others to eat. I felt a sense of relief after seeing my colleague, waiting for me, at least I have someone that I familiar to stay with the unfamiliar place and people. Still bewildered with the surrounding, which seemed very pleasing for nature lover, I still anxious about the whole thing. What the camp is all about?? Look at the following pics

Kejohanan Sukan Tahunan SMKATDM 2009

2009-11-09T19:35:00.001-08:00

Pada 4 November 2009 telah berlangsungnya Kejohanan Sukan Tahunan SMKA Tun Datu Mustapha 2009. Memandangkan padang sekolah masih lagi dalam pembinaan, pihak sekolah telah menyewa Stadium Penampang untuk mengadakan sukan antara rumah tersebut. Pihak sekolah telah menyediakan 4 buah bas sekolah termasuk bas dari SMKA Kota Kinabalu dan SMKA Limaun di samping bas sekolah kita sendiri untuk membawa kesemua warga pelajar dan pendidik SMKATDM ke sana.

Walaupun hanya sehari, ternyata perjalanan pertandingan berjalan dengan lancar. Kejohanan dimulakan dengan acara Balapan, diikuti oleh pertandingan lontar peluru. Seterusnya acara seterusnya adalah pertandingan lompat jauh. Kejohanan berhenti rehat sementara pada pukul 12.30 untuk memberi ruang kepada pelajar dan urusetia menikmati makan tengah hari serta solat Zohor.

Kejohanan diteruskan lagi pada pukul 2.00 petang dengan mempertandingkan acara balapan peringkat akhir. Kejohanan seterusnya dimeriahkan lagi dengan acara terbuka iaitu 4×100 meter yang disertai oleh para guru dan pelajar-pelajar tingkatan 5.

Acara diakhiri dengan pertandingan perbarisan antara rumah-rumah sukan yang bertanding. Ternyata pelbagai gelagat dan kerenah para peserta perbarisan dapat disaksikan, walau bagaimanapun wujud persaingan antara mereka menyebabkan para juri pening kepala untuk memilih pemenang.

Secara keseluruhannya, Kejohanan Sukan Tahunan SMKA Tun Datu Mustapha dijuarai oleh Rumah Maliki (Hijau) diikuti oleh Rumah Hanafi (Biru). Manakala perbarisan pula digondol oleh Rumah Shafiee (Kuning) dan diikuti oleh Rumah Hanafi (Biru).

Para pelajar mula menaiki bas untuk pulang pada pukul 4.00 petang.

TDMians on Choral Speaking

2009-10-28T21:53:00.000-07:00

It is the battle for pride. It is the battle of the gender. It is the battle of Choral Speaking Competition 2009 in conjunction with 1 Malaysia Reading Campaign. Again, TDMians stand on stage and presenting the best of their talents in the competition. Talent time I may say, yet intriguing when looking at the clumsy unprepared contestants who turned blue on the stage.

And congratulation to 1 Faz for being the winning team again, defeating the rest. Even form 3 students couldn't stand a chance to win when they are on stage. Well done to 3 Fatimah and 1 Aisyah for being so minded to participate.

TDMians on March!

2009-10-28T21:36:00.000-07:00

The grand sport festival is coming again. Respective houses of Hambali, Maliki, Hanafi and Syafiee are busy with their schedule practicing the athletes and marching. As for Hanafi, I believe you will be the winner again.

TDMian princesses too are marching their ways for the victory of their respective houses. All the best to all TDMians who are now working hard day and night for the sport festival.

Internal Consultation

2009-10-28T05:07:00.000-07:00

We had another internal consultation today, which I believed that could be the curtain-end for this year. The consultation was conducted by Ustaz Nik Anwar bin Zakaria, an experience teacher from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Kota Kinabalu (SMAKK). The topic was "Enriching Faith in Upholding Responsibilities". It was an amazing day to learn the revelation of how people lost their faith over a minuscule fragile but poisonous thought.

He showed us a montage video, in courtesy of Edisi Siasat NTV7 about an old man, Haji Kahar, the self-proclaimed Malay prophet.I was saddened by the fragility of faith they hold in heart due the over-obsession for the deviant teaching.I wonder how years of living and years of believing, people could still be fooled with such ridiculous obnoxious thoughts from an old man that has his own self-interest for introducing such a deviant-teaching...

What a wonderful day we had...

TDMians On Photo Shots

2009-10-28T04:18:00.000-07:00

It's time for photo shots! As expected, TDMians are always excited when it comes about taking pictures. Though it was Wednesday which everyone was obligated to be in their uniforms, but exemption was given to those who were involved in photo shots. So, they ironed their baju melayu neatly the night before, and then enthusiastically waiting for their turn.

Being entrusted to hold documentation port folio, It is my responsibility to document events of the school, thus, taking class photos is something I must do unconditionally. Luckily I have a friend, Ustaz Mujiburrahman, to give me a hand. He possesses an SLR camera, which then was being used for the whole photographic session. I am a lucky man for being surrounded by kind-hearted friends.
