The first two months in public school were tough, but the teachers tried their best to win her over. After five months, she was a changed person — creative, inquisitive, expressive. Most of all, she had fun learning. It is different here. There is too much emphasis on homework, little art and craft, teachers threaten to pukul if the hair is not tied, keluar

There seems to be quite an explosion of demand in more powerful websites equipped with server capabilities using scripts like JavaScript, PHP, and Perl, having been involved with a couple of PHP companies. However, I have always viewed this as “lightweight” languages, compared to Java or C++ which can be used for files and system programming as well. Of course, the lines are becoming blur as web languages introduce more “heavyweight” features like classes (e.

I, blog shall not call out to my master, Not especially when he’s in a fluster! For when one is in between, three exams and an interview, then one should get out of her, nothing to view!

Rejected top SPM scorers finally get PSD scholarships Then again, all this media attention might do some good in making contructive changes to Malaysia’s education system :) It may be wishful thinking but that will be the day when students realise the exam-oriented, extreme-tuition syndrome being practised, is not too useful after all.

EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA: Pak Lah Promises Scholarship for Top Students Just a comment in Tony P’s blog (on a small aspect of this story): Beneath all this is the very question of the definition of a “top student”. It would seem that having all A1s would assure scholarships will fall your way.

A Must Read! Musings by Marina Mahathir This is an excellent piece of opinion from Marina on Malaysia and where would YOU like it to go to. Refreshingly honest. What do you think? ;)

You'll have to bear with me, as I'm blogging while cleaning my room :P I went to the doctor yesterday about a sore on my lip. Turns out it was a cold sore. That first sentence from the doctor was okay. Next come a whole sermon about what cavemen ate hundreds of thousands of years ago. "Milk is bad. Grains, pooh pah." At this point I'm thinking err, then what does one eat?

We have an online auction site, similar to eBay, which is called Trademe. It has been a roaring success since it’s start sometime ago. However, recently, it was in the news as there is a so-called artist who has been kicked out of Trademe for copying directly from other people’s photographs. You may ask, “What’s wrong with that?” Well, you will have to know as well, that his paintings does not seem to real paintings(more printed) and his sceneries are from anywhere other than New Zealand(which he claims-he even states a specific spot).
