Semua kepedihanmu

Lelapkan matamu

Biarkan mimpi membawamu

Ke mana kau mahu

Selamat malam

Yang indah itu ada padamu

Dengan setiap impian dan harapan

Selamat malam

Siangkan tiba bercahaya

Bermula baru semua untukmu

Kan ku menjadi arjuna dalam mimpi-mimpimu

Kan ku panah tepat ke jiwamu atas nama cintaku

Pari-pari ku utus bawa kau ke sini lagi

Terhapus semua air mata dengan senyuman

Selamat malam sayang

kisah suri rumah

A man was SICK and TIRED of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.

And further jealous of her, as she received lot of Women's Daywishes and compliments

He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.Amen!"

Poof!!!

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.

He arose,

cooked breakfast for his mate, Awakened the kids,

Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast,

Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,

Took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,

Went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries,

Paid the bills and balanced the check book...

He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.

Then, it was already 1.00pm

And he hurried to make the beds...

...do the laundry...

vacuum, Dust, And sweep and mop the kitchen floor...

...Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.

Set out milk and cookies and...

...got the kids organized to do their homework. Then,

set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30pm,

he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad...

...rolled meatballs and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper,

He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher.. .

...Folded laundry, Bathed the kids, And put them to bed. At 9.00pm,

He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love,

which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning,
he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said:

"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, Oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back. Amen!"

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:

"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait NINE MONTHS, though. You got pregnant last night."

6 phases of working

Phase 1

You are listening to jazz -- Your first day at  work is great.
Your co-workers are wonderful, your office is  cute,
you love your boss, and your President is the  best! 


Phase 2

You are listening to pop music -- After a while  you are
so busy that you are not sure if you're coming or going  anymore.

Phase 3

You are listening to heavy metal -- 
This is  what happens after about SIX Months! 

Phase 4

You are listening to hip hop -- You become bloated  due to stress,
you're gaining weight due to lack of exercise  because you are so
tired and have so much work to do and when  you get home you have more work to do.
You feel sluggish and  suffer from constipation.
Your fellow co-workers are too  cheerful for your liking and the walls of your cubicle are closing  in.

Phase 5

You are listening to GANGSTA RAP -- 
After more  time passes, your eyes start to twitch,
you forget what a 'good  hair day' feels like as you
just fall out of bed and load up on  caffeine.

Phase 6

You are listening to the voices in your head --   
You have locked the office door to keep people out,
You  wonder WHY you are even here in the first
place and WHY did I  come to work today!  






Which phase are you in?

Kembali lagi...

1) Bila sudah lama tidak menulis, banyak perkara yang mahu disampaikan dan dikongsi juga akan tersimpan begitu sahaja, dan ada juga yang hilang menjadi bualan masa silam yang entah bisa memberikan pahala atau dosa. Yang pasti, hari ini, dan ketika ini, tiada apa yang dapat dipelajari dari idea, bual bicara, dan pandangan masa lalu. Kalau ada, mana buktinya?

2) Ada... cuma bukan di sini. Platform muhasabah hari ini sudah semakin luas dan canggih. Cuma, keberkesanan log atau jurnal yang pelbagai pilihan pada hari ini juga berbeza-beza. Ada yang sifatnya seminggu-dua (Facebook), ada yang paling ringkas dengan sifatnya -'daily basis'(Twitter). Cara manual dengan menulis dalam buku jurnal menggunakan pena berdakwat adalah yang paling maujud dan kukuh sehingga boleh dibawa ke kamar penghakiman.

3) Yang penting, tulislah atas platform apa pun. Blogging lah; walaupun belum tentu dapat diberi komitmen atas apa sahaja kisah perkongsian, ia adalah pilihan yang rata-rata umat seluruh dunia boleh belek-belek setiap pengkisahan dan tetap ada selagi server blogspot masih ada. Pelajaran hari ini akan tetap kekal sebagai memori masa depan.

4) Sayang juga jika terlalu obses kepada 'social-networking' bersifat popular. Satu masa, semua sibuk dengan penangan Friendster, kemudian myspace, Facebook, dan Twitter. Setidak-tidaknya, sejarah membuktikan, blog masih kekal sebagai pilihan utama untuk perkongsian yang lebih mendalam maknanya. YAng penting, 'maintainance' supaya tidak menjadi 'rumah tinggal' yang tiada empunya.

Defining the best

By TAN SHIOW CHIN and TAN EE LOO

The criteria used to identify the 20 recently-announced High Performing Schools has been called into question.

educate@thestar.com.my

HOW does one decide what makes a school the best in the country?

On the surface of it, the answer might seem simple: it is the school that produces the best academic results.

After all, isn’t education about producing knowledgeable youths who are able to contribute to the betterment of society?

And isn’t the best and fairest measure of such knowledge public exams set by a central governing authority?

Schools like SMK Convent Bukit Nanas, which have renowned alumni like Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz (left), were not among the 20 HPS announced recently. — File phot o

The answer, as educationists will tell you, is no.

Educating our young ones is far more than just stuffing academic knowledge into their brains.

It is, as anyone in the Education Ministry will say, about the holistic development of a person — holistic meaning the entire physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual package.

So, the best school in the country should be the one that is producing the very best all-rounded students.

To get back to the original question, how does one measure this type of achievement?

For the Education Ministry, they have condensed it down to six criteria:

1. excellent academic achievement, 
2. well-known alumni, 
3. consistent participation in national and international-level competitions, 
4. linkages with colleges and universities, 
5. networks with other local and international schools, and 
6. having been measured against national and international benchmarks.

These are the standards that have been set for the selection of High Performing Schools (HPS), which are part of the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) for education as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak last year.

Twenty schools have already been announced as the first batch of HPS(see graphic).

Thirty more are expected to announced next year and 50 by 2012, to make up a total of 100 in three years.

Criteria query

With an annual extra allocation of RM700,000 and more autonomy at stake for the school, not to mention individual financial rewards for staff members, it is not surprising that the concept and selection criteria for the HPS has come under close scrutiny.

In particular, the yardstick of having a track record of developing influential and successful individuals has been questioned.

Said United Chinese School Committees Association of Malaysia (Dong Zong) deputy chairman Chow Siew Hon: “We wouldn’t know if any of the students will end up being a famous scientist or not when they grow up."

“All we can do is provide them with a solid foundation while in school, and help them maximise their potential.”

Another experienced educationist agreed, saying that the criterion did not consider late bloomers.

“Someone who didn’t do well in school might do well later on in life,” she said.

A current principal also pointed out the practical difficulty of keeping track of all their alumni.

“Some of our students go overseas and might be doing really well for themselves, but we wouldn’t know about them.”

Schools, Chow said, should see the ability to achieve the HPS status as a bonus, not as a target.

“It would be great if they could make it on the list or are able to produce successful alumni 20 years down the road.

“But I feel the primary role of schools should be to provide students with quality education that is student-centred,” he said.

He also cautioned against the idea of elitism, saying that parents would rush to enrol their children in those schools that have been selected as HPS.

“The intention of identifying the HP schools might have been good one.

“However, in my opinion, the plan might backfire and demotivate schools that did not make it on the list,” he said.

It has been reported that the Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia (Hua Zong) had expressed its disappointment and puzzlement that no Chinese primary school was picked as one of the 20 HPS.

Why not us?

Its president Tan Sri Pheng Yin Huah said the selection criteria raised doubts as several Chinese primary schools had done well in all aspects.

‘’Irrespective of hardware and software or in terms of academic and co-curricular activities, students of Chinese primary schools have done reasonably well in comparison with other schools,’’ he was quoted as saying.

Complaints that schools from East Malaysia and Pahang were left out have also been reported.

The fact that premier schools like St John’s Institution, Convent Bukit Nanas and Penang Free School, which seemingly fulfil the criteria for the HPS, have not made the list also raises a few eyebrows.

One educationist pointed out that residential schools had an advantage over other schools in terms of performing well.

Most schools do not have much of a choice over their student intake, whereas residential schools have their pick of the best Year Six and Form Three students every year.

This factor, she said, should be taken into consideration when evaluating a school’s performance.

Half of the 20 HPS are residential schools.

Many people also see similarities between the concepts of cluster schools and high performing schools as they both have similar objectives, that is to spur outstanding schools to achieve world-class standards and improving students’ learning outcomes.

Said the educationist: “I think there is no need for high performing schools as we already have cluster schools. If you are a cluster school, then that means you are already a high performing school.”

Cluster schools was one of the six key strategies under the ministry’s National Education Blueprint 2006-2010 launched by then Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

According to the blueprint, around 300 cluster schools were to be identified and provided with increased autonomy, funding and training for school heads, in order to be a benchmark for other schools and equal to schools in developed nations.

So far, 120 cluster schools have been identified, 16 of which were also chosen as HPS.

A Very Touching Moment

schooldays memory

Arjun Singh and Pargat Singh are very close friends. The whole school talked about their friendship. They had been friends right from their kindergarten days. They have studied together, roamed around together, sat together in school, ate together.. They both wanted to become Police officials and serve the country.But today was a day they always dreaded. It was their last day together.

On their way back from School Arjun started talking

Arjun : Bro! I am moving to a different city to study. I will miss you man
Pargat: I will miss you too mate. But nothing can break our friendship. We will at least meet once every year.
Arjun: Yes that is a deal

and they parted with tears in their eyes...
As time went by, both got busy with their work life. They kept their promise for two years and after that they moved on with their own lives and in the process Arjun lost his contact with Pargat. Time went by and both became Police Officers.



Year: 2009


Venue: The Police station where Arjun works

Tring... Tring...

Arjun picks up the call and he gets a pleasant surprise...

"Is this Arjun?"
"Yes. Who is on the line?"
" Bro. Its Pargat! I just found out that you are posted in this station"

Tear drops welled up Arjun's eyes

Arjun: Where are you?
Pargat: I am standing outside the Police station. Come Out
Arjun: Is it? I am coming right away.

Arjun rushed out of the Police station and saw Pargat standing outside. They were seeing each other for the first time after thirty years. He wanted to go and hug his friend. But he could not hug his friend. It was a very touching moment for both of them:

Fikrah:-
1) It's very touching, indeed...
