A Mother's Love

Written by Poh Wen Bin, Student

motherpicB

My mother, a mother of four, is the best mom I ever would have. Like any typical Asian mothers, my mother plays the role of a housewife and she is the pillar of strength in the family. She usually would manage the household ensuring all problems are resolved, sometimes, she acts as a mediator in family disputes and she is an encourager when we are emotionally feeling low.

It was not easy for her to sacrifice her profession to be a housewife. My mom has endeavoured and sacrificed a lot of her own interest to build comfort in our home. Hence, I would take this opportunity to say, “Mom, I thank you for your sacrifices and the hardships you have been through.”

Every year there is one special day dedicated for mothers,and that's "Mother’s Day". This day is a great opportunity for children of all ages to show their appreciation for the work and love of a mother. Gifts and cards, often handmade with care, are given as a sign of love. Thus, I would like to present a poem dedicated to my mom.

Thank you for your love throughout the years,

Happiness comes slowly, day by day.

All you and Dad have given me remains

Not distant from the wellspring of my tears.

Kindnesses can never go away,

Your love and care will never be held with disdain,

and words of encouragement will always be held dear.

There is also a saying, which is, "God could not be everywhere and so he invented mothers". These are great inspirational words to mothers across the globe. To all mothers, Happy Mother’s Day! To my mom, I love you, mom! I will study hard at KDU College to fulfill my role and your expectation as your son.

BE A RADIO DJ FOR A DAY

Reported by: Valerie Ooi, Programme Counsellor

If they have always admired their favourite radio deejays and have dreamt to be another Hunny Madu, well, students from SMJK Tsung Wah certainly had such a chance at KDU's Radio Broadcasting room. Writing scripts under the guidance of Ms Maha (lecturer), the top 3 winners of scriptwriting for Valentine's Day, Father's Day, and Earth Day, had the chance to be a RADIO DJ FOR THE DAY. The prize? They had their recording done by Mr Hilmyzam and a copy of the cd was given to the school.

The other group of 25 students had a roaring time with robotics at their session FUN WITH ROBOTS together with some KDU engineering students and their lecturer, Mr. Siva.

Impressed with the Moot Court, they said it was awe-inspiring. If they had seen a mock court in session, they would have been even more inspired by the law students' excellent oratorical skills. However, as time was running short, they were given a short presentation of the KDU College courses and celebrated Teacher's Day with a cake and pastries, with compliments from the School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Arts.

FHA Winners

A team of three KDU students brought home a Gold Medal from the recent FHA in Singapore (read more about KDUs involvement). The Food Hotel Asia is one of the most prominent events in the hospitality world. Ooi Shar Mayn, Amanda Yuen and Julia Ung took part in the Dream Team Challenge and tell us, how they experienced the event.

(L-R): Dream Team Winners - Amanda, Julia and Shar Mayn

For those who do not know what the Dream Team challenge is, could you explain it?
Shar Mayn: The Dream Team challenge is a competition that requires a team of three: a chef, a bartender and a service staff member. Teams should try to provide the ultimate dining experience for their guests, whilst maintaining great team work and good communication with them. It is like an actual restaurant service, based on a theme, with a three course menu. I was the bartender, Amanda was our service personnel and Julia was the Chef.
