But those moments when they're there, it's amazing how much happiness and beauty they brought along... those velvety petals and lush, wonderful smell.

Ahhh... thank you Allah ﷻ for another such beautiful creation of yours.

And thank you Abg Md Nor & Kak Sherin <3 and Mu'adz for giving Them to me. Patiently waiting for me to finish up wiping the kitchen floor. heee..

Meanwhile, 1st qiyam (pre-Us) went very well alhamdulillah, followed immediately by a workshop on Quality Alternative Assessment by a NIE lecturer at MUIS.

Among the takeaways:

- importance of knowing the process, not just the product (to see whether students really understand the process while they try to complete the task)

- importance of ensuring that the marking scheme is neither under-representing the subject content nor irrelevent (for example, teachers should not get deviated by awarding students marks for 'creativity' that has nothing to do with the subject content or penalise students for bad handwriting.. )

Alhamdulillah.

Somehow it feels nice to attend a workshop on teaching that is UbD-less.
