Parent Expectation.... straight A

SPM result is just out. Parent are as anxious as well as the candidate themself. They expect their child to score straight A if not excellent. Sending them to the best university.

Recently i happen to meet my old schoolmate. She teachs PP, what is PP? Shyly i as her.. I suppose this is the jargon they use in school. I am not in teaching profession so I pose her few challenging question related to teaching as well as her expectation from her student. Not to test her intelligency but just to get her personnel opinion on matters that often roam in my mind.

Question 1. If a student score a borderline in PMR, (not so good result but selected to science stream). Is it a wise move for the student to go to science stream? Why should't the student just opt for art stream? It hard for her to give an answer. Off course there are some sense in her answer. But as i believe this is a subjective question. And the debate keep continue between us.

No doubt our longest serving former Prime Minister is a Medical doctor but how many other minister are from science stream? You know better. Those who success in business, what stream are there in scholol? You become a doctor, you do a very noble job but do you know how hard it is when there is not enough doctor to serve the rakyat.

Art stream, become economist as a governor of Bank Negara. Also a very noble job. Manage the country economy with the help of many economist. CEO of Performance Management and Delivery unit (Pemandu) monitoring the implementation of KPI, not a scientist but B Soc Sc in Development studies and Management now managing the ministers KPI.

There are many question we debate but we enjoy ourself after for so many year didn't meet each other. .

But at the end of the day we bot agreed to the conclusion that either one doen not matter. What matter most nowaday is seccess in life. Success means financially dependent. no hutang dari Along.

I Know for sure there someone up there don't agree. No parent will sent thier kid to art stream if they score straight A in there PMR right? whatever just drop your opinion.

Bawang Assan.. development.

Webucation.

http://www.scorea.com/

Education and teaching method change with time. I have undergo several mode of study method, from formal classroom method to part-time, distant learning and e-learning. Now webucation is a term which will be a common word among teaching profession.

Knowledge management is another new subject thought in our local university. I would says it new because it's not a traditional subject which was thought for many many year back. Lately we saw university offer course specialise in Knowledge Management (KM). What does KM have in common with Webucation.?

Webucation is education and knowledge delivered 100% via the Internet. Peter Drucker of Forbes Magazine puts webucation into its true perspective: ”We live in an economy where knowledge, not buildings and machinery, is the chief resource and where knowledge-workers make up the biggest part of the work force.”

What is score A programme to do with Webcuation and Knowledge Management? Score A Programme is created by Malaysian for Malaysian student. If you wish to konw more, just click at affiliate, Kenshido or Score A Programme., http://www.scorea.com/

Ngajat in Kuala Lumpur.

This is my personal album collection. Photo taken way back in 2006. Since I am not in a mood to write, I would prefer the photo do the talking for me.

One of my favourite photo

performing ngajat in one of the pretigous hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

....hail from Kanowit, Sarawak

But lately there had been complaints that the traditional ngajat dance of the ibans had not been performed according to the original style by non-dayak groups. It should be performed in its original style inorder to preserve it originality and maintain the Malaysian culture and tradition as a whole.

Three's a crowd.

This article catch my early morning attention, 'Three's a crowd'. It about parents sharing bed with their children. For most Asian families, sharing their beds with their children is common. There are many positive experiences thet the child gain. For example their family bed helps the children and their parents feel closer together after a full day of separation. Infact there are many more good that parent and children share at bed time like story telling and etc...

But on the other hand, some find it can cause lack of parental privacy. So should parents of toddlers share the bed? The decision is personal and you know what is best for you.

Reward yourself.

Reward yourself according to the significance of the goal being achieved. It is important to reward yourself because it gives you a good feeling and motivation to move on, it like an energiser which helps to boost you up in the long journey to achieve great success.
