PPSMI personal response...

Some may agree but some may be a bit in a sense of disagreement with me. People have talked, are talking, and will be talking about this 'pengajaran matematik and sains dalam bahasa inggeris'.

Firstly readers, we have to take a look at the objective of PPSMI itself. It is firstly aimed to improve the english fluency among students in order to cater the increasingly demanding job market nowadays which wants more fresh graduates of high proficiency in English....

I want to create a post this time more sort of a debate....Those who are against PPSMI said:

1)We cant say that PPSMI work because it has been 6 years since the year this was established and nothing is going on well.

yerp very true, we cant see the progress YET! ask yourself how many years since the last time BAHASA INGGERIS was implemented in school?? 40 YEARS ago rite back to our parents' time?? and since when we started to realize we need to do something to improve students' proficiency in English??............6 YEARS AGO!!!

The point that i'm trying to justify here is that we need time to see the ultimate progress....Before, English had been taught since before 1957 itself and look at our parents, they are totally fluent in ENGLISH! My mother was not from the city, she's totally a kampung girl but still she talks English proficiently! We cant say something is not right just because it has not shown any progress for just FIVE YEARS of implementation....its just not right!

In fact!! PPSMI has worked! more than 5% of UPSR graduates learnt ENGLISH through PPSMI.....adding to the fact that we are still learning ENGLISH in classroom....Dont you think its fantastic enough than not having anything to be done to improve their proficiency???? T his is just for 5 YEARS, cant you imagine how much students will benefit for another 10 YEARS???

I have a sister in form 1....who is a product of PPSMI......and a sister of form 5 who is NOT a product of PPSMI......comparing my two sisters.......My form 1 sister can write an essay FAR better than her sister.....and FARRRRRR better than my form 5 students who had graduated from SPM last year <<<<<>

2) "Memperjuangkan BAHASA MELAYU" ????

What I want to write now is nothing....because....

I just can laugh.......

HAHAHAHA.....memperjuangkan konon!

why? for those who 'so-called' memperjuangkan bahasa melayu.....

are you denying the fact that ENGLISH is the language of the WORLD?

are you denying the fact that MOST science books are in ENGLISH??
are you saying if the we teach ENGLISH in math and science, we are killing our BAHASA? haa??

Are you blind? or pretending to be blind?? Helloo, we are still teaching BAHASA MELAYU in........

Plastic World we LIVE in.....

I got a test tomorrow but still have time to blog....i feel like a total robot rite now....

actually thats not the point....

What I wanna write about here is that the PLASTIC WORLD....
In definition, plastic world means the world of HYPOCRITES!!
Its like this....I got this one friend of mine....a girl....I knew her since the first semester of B.ED TESL.....
She's to me a total jerk....talking bad about people on their back....and acting as a freaky angel in front of them.......
When she talks...its like she's the most outstanding person in the world....well girl, to me you are just a pain in the ass mannn!!!
Careful with this girl guys, some told me that she'd been talking bad about me on my back...well, I dont really mind coz ure such a jackass who pollutes the earth ALLAH has created.....

But the thing is....

She acted freakingly nice in front of me! OMG!!!!
well, you know what.....pegi mampos laaa ngan kau.....ada aku peduli???
guyz...
if i've ever done anything wrong come and tell me straight.....
not being such a chicken who's afraid to be slaughtered!!

BE CAREFUL with this girl!!!
She's among you!

NO OFFENSE ok guys....this should not be you coz she's not an active blogger....

What Malaysian government did to cigarette boxes is WORTHLESS!

Japan did this like 10 years ago........

its a good thing that Malaysian government did something to the boxes....you know, putting pictures of whats gonna happen for us if we smoke....yerp its something.....but i dare say, its just something 'rather than nothing!'.....my point here is simple.....

The fact that the ministry wanted to increase people's awareness is good....

The fact that scary pictures were printed on the boxes are good.....

BUT!
what i can see is that THE GOVERNMENT is just making assumptions......another assumption to be added to 'say no to smoking' campaign....

1) they assume that people are gonna be scared by looking at those pictures and then stop smoking (haaa??)
2) They assume that people will know more on bad effects of smoking (yes they'll know, but will they want to be more careful on what goes to their lung? HELL NO!)
3) Will the approximately 20% of teenagers who started smoking every year will end???

Despite of the pictures.....They put this statement under them....for example, "smoking can lead to birth defect".....then so????????? this wont make people scared...yerp they may be scared for the first few minutes and then forget everything about it.....
WHAT we should put here is something that could make them think....the smokers to think and think and think........for example:

" DO YOU WANT TO SUFFER FROM LUNG CANCER??? instead of "SMOKING CAN LEAD TO LUNG CANCER"

Remember everyone, these so-called simple things DO make a difference!

10 most GORGEOUS-looking people in the WORLD!

I wonder if one day i could become one of them...... this post is just to spark up my boring day.....and of course to 'wash' all readers' eyes....haha...in no specific order....here we are.....

THREE days of BAD and GOOD

Everything started nicely last friday night when Dean, Hafiz, Kahar and me went to Bukit Bintang. We were having a total blast of enjoyment after a week full of assignments, projects, lectures, classes, and bla bla bla. Let me quote what Kahar said ok = "aku rasa macam budak kampung laa"...HAHAHA....no comment then.

From left: Kahariah, Hafizah, and Fahimah hehehe

We went back to Shah Alam around 4am. Tired and sleepy, everyone decided to go back and sleep.

Kahar slept at my house at the same night and both of us woke up around 11 am when I've decided to go for a movie that evening. Since Kahar by hook or by crook had to go back (kononnya kakak dia datang), I sent him to Komuter station. It felt good to be a driver ok! Then me and hafiz went to Bukit Raja (Well, where else can we go???so called negeri maju!)and we watched STREET FIGHTER...the movie was OK...but I would expect a little bit more on the action scenes. We finished around 6 am when SUDDENLY, we've decided to go to SUNWAY PYRAMID USJ...hahaha crazy rite?? Ok then...we went there...have a walk....hang out at Wendy...I bought a gelang tangan (is it called bracelet for a guy?? I dunno!) which cost me around RM25....Its gorgeous ok! Farah asked me to join her with SIFERS KLMU for a barbeque...I said "I ok jewww"...

Me at WENDY Sunway Pyramid

Early in the morning....earliest I've ever awakened....7 am, I changed myself to Jeans, a tight Giordano shirt and pair of gorgeous looking shoes...for what?? I thought I was going for a barbeque at sort of pantai or something (as told by FARAH)....but ended up in waterfall!!! Me and Papi brought nothing but ourselves and we're in again childrennn....WATERFALL!!! arghhh!! who wouldn't have been sad if a breath taking waterfall is infront of you and you cant do anything but nothing!!! who can resist the temptation of waterfall, well, not me of course....and Luckily, Amat, one of SIFERS KLMU got an extra shorts with him! yeehaa! luckily, he's as big as me! hehehe....APA LAGI...TERJUNNNN!!!

Hebat sang arjuna menghembus asap...hehehe...this is ISKANDAR
