After Sometimes...

Salam everybody,

It's been a long time since the last entry was posted here. Not that there's not much happening but I don't see it as something special to be noted until early this year. What happened?? Suddenly I found a new hobby (again??) which I delved in straightaway. Hmm, hopefully after this, I could fine the motivation to write at least something every month.

We'll see...

The power of durian

Health Benefits of Durian

Education dilemma..

THIS LETTER WAS PUBLISHED IN BERITA HARIAN ON 26 OCT 2009... JUST TO SHARE WITH NO SIDES TAKEN...

Pegawai kerap bertukar jejaskan pendidikan

SAYA ingin menyatakan pandangan mengenai pencapaian pendidikan di Daerah Batang Padang tercorot berbanding daerah lain di Perak. Sejak 2004 pegawai Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah sering bertukar, malah pernah tiga kali tiada pegawai.

Sejak 2004 tiada pegawai memegang jawatan lebih dua tahun dan paling singkat dua bulan itu Razali Ismail (16 Januari -16 Mac 2008).

Tidak hairanlah, pendidikan di daerah Batang Padang tidak berkembang. Kewujudan Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah bertujuan meningkat dan mengupayakan sekolah.

Jika pegawai sering bertukar bagaimanakah dia hendak merealisasikan dasar pendidikan dalam bidang kurikulum, kokurikulum, sahsiah, pengurusan dan kepemimpinan seperti yang tercatat dalam misi Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah.

Maka terjerit penolong pegawai Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah Batang Padang menjaga segala hal akademik. Kadangkala mereka menyalahkan guru besar yang kononnya tidak komited atau enggan berubah.

Jangan terus menuding jari kepada kepemimpinan sekolah jika pegawai Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah tidak pernah teguh dan mantap.

Amat penting pegawai di Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah Batang Padang juga mampu berkomunikasi sebaiknya dengan guru besar dan pengetua. Mereka harus menunjukkan keterampilan diri yang baik dan berilmu untuk dicontohi. Kepintaran emosi (EQ) juga perlu diberi perhatian.

Saya meminta Kementerian Pelajaran memantau keterampilan, ilmu dan etika pegawai di Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah dan ketuanya diberi peluang merancang dan membangunkan pendidikan dengan lebih mantap.

ADUKA
Batang Padang,
Perak.

Procastination or Pressure...

Never thought that the time to do an assignment would come again and to make it more challenging, right in the middle of brainstorming, eye-straining n nerve-wrecking marking moments. I always advise my students to somehow plan their writing but when it comes to reality, the execution is harder than I thought!!
I guess old habit dies hard; I was at the junction before, didn't know which path to take, until the eleventh hour has come and tried to strangle me with the guilty feeling of putting things off until they really suffocate you, I mean myself..
As it is, I'm halfway through of the 20-page requirement and if I can make it by tomorrow, I still have time to get it proofread. That's right, final check for that 'kerjakursus BM' before it'll be submitted this saturday.
As Nan said, torturous gilerrr.......

Jugglers

There are times when you are up there and there are times when you are bogged down and these last 13 days have been somewhat hectic and pressing. Starting with the new arrival, roundtrips to KL and Shah Alam, ferrying trips to the hospital, open houses, exams etc....
Tomorrow I'm going back to work after nearly 3 weeks off; have to see what to be done before school breaks for Deepavali until wednesday. Come thursday n friday I may have to go to Ipoh overseeing the kids shooting down the alleys.
All in all, it's a mixture of events; joining the crowd or organising functions within those 13 days. Yes, I realise that fulfilling the invitations was REALLY something which is being highly appreciated by the hosts.. Take for example, the gathering at a friend's house somewhere in Glenmarie last sunday, being partially responsible to make sure that things don't get thrown away and hoping that the 'tuan rumah' would get the satisfaction of being the host (not to mention the toil of preparing the dishes), it somehow affected me. It made me think off the things that you cant live without... Is it the family? Is it the friends? Is it the feeling of being needed? Is it the feeling of being useful? Is it the bond or is it the satisfaction of being able to JUST do something to make the days go by??
As the final school term is approaching its pit stop, I feel suffocated by the workload that needs to be cleared before the scripts come piling up on the dining table...
Hmm, time to get down to planned work again...

Final sprint

Salam n greetings to all,

My eldest is sitting for upsr tomorrow. The aunties have sent tips for the forecast questions; the same goes for his grandpa n grandma. Me? No feelings. For me, no matter how hard we try to prepare someone, if the person does not understand what he's facing, then he wouldn't get the urge to do what's got to be done. For me, upsr is the 1st formal assessment n its not suppose to jeopardize one's future, especially for a late bloomer. Am I being pessimistic? Let's just say that I'm playing it safe; no russian roulette for the time being...
