To twitter or not to Twitter ...that is the question.
I'm still thinking about it. Evidently, people nowadays are into micro blogging - perhaps a short form version of your actual everyday blog. Personally i'm facing difficulties in writing everday in my blog spot. I simply couldn't find enough time.
Come to think of it who cares if i write of don't write in my blog ha hah ha! .....right?
There is one thing i want to know: do people take more seriously when i write a blog or when i post something in my facebook?
Would i enjoy a better following if i write in Twitter?

After the by-election....
Congrats to Salleh Man and Pas for winning the Permatang Pasir by-election.
Even though events before the eventual outcome points out that BN is confident of winning it turns out PAS has again turn the tables on BN.
Why did BN lose?
Nothings change since the so-called political tsunami of the 2008 General Elections. BN in general and UMNO in paraticular still resort to old tactics and strategies. The in-fightings are still there and so is sabotaging party's efforts.
To make things worse the BN started on the wrong foot by getting Rohaizat to represent them. He has quite a few skeletons in the closet which only surface up after the nomination papers were accepted.
If the BN people have done their homework, this shouldn't have happened. Was it so difficult to do a background check on potential candidates?
And this fellow (Rohaizat) for God's sake, can't he come clean by professing that he was disbarred by the Bar Council, has two wives (not that there is anything wrong with having more than one wife) and a few other misdemeanours. Maybe Rohaizat is making full use of the fact that those responsible in doing the selections are imcompetent fools.
Whatever ......... BN has to fully re-invent itself if it hopes to win the next general election. Using old tricks and strategies will not help it's cause at all.

25th August
Folks out there maybe asking: what is so special about the 25th of August 2009.
It's the Permatang pasir by-election...of course!! Rohaizat othman of BN is pitted against Salleh Man of PAS. This is an interesting event to watch during this puasa month. It is difficult to judge the atmosphere over there. Sounds to me it's a little bit low-key from the point i'm sitting. Surely because of Ramadan being the holy month there would be less mud-slinging between the two parties....right? I think i heard somebody said that BN promised a clean fight (puasa lah) but if you rope in the Tok Guru of Kelantan in the 'skirmishes' the fight will be anything but clean
The Umno candidate, Rohaizat is reported to be quite popular with the local ladies. Maybe these ladies can't be bothered with the accusations that Rohaizat is a disbarred lawyer and have two other charges of wrongdoing . Innocent until proven guilty....right?
Hehh.....the guys in SPRM probably don't know that 25th August is also PTK day for some government servants. I hope those taking their PTK exams in Permatang Pasir can focus their minds on passing with flying colours. If you get a "4" , no matter who becomes the next YB, you will still get your salary increment ....deservedly.

Jumpa kawan Part 2
Alamak...i forgot to include some pics in my last posting about "jumpa kawan" So here it is:
I would also like to apologise to friends who may have to wait a bit long for my new postings....busy lah!!
Jumpa kawan
It's a small world ....
Last Thursday, 20th August 2009 I was with a group of Penolong Kanan (Senior Assistants) from secondary schools in the District of Hulu Langat.
We were on a benchmarking trip ...supposedly to learn from the school we're going to visit.
Our first stop was SMK Perimbun ...alahh sorry no photos. They welcome us with splendid performance of foot drill and well-timed moves from the school's Kadet Remaja Sekolah.
The second school was SMK TTDI Jaya, quite close to the Shah Alam Polytechnic. The Pengetua , Rasul was an old friend of mine back in the IAB/Houston days in 1997. They are very proud with their 5S impelementations. For the uninitiated 5S is really a Japanese idea about managing your work place or organization. It's more on the physical side of sprucing the work place and may even complement the 3K programme (kebersihan, keselamatan and kesihatan) that we now have in most schools.
I got to meet former students:
1) Zul, a Kemahiran Hidup teacher (formerly in SM Teknik Kajang, 2005)
and
2) Wardah, a former student at SM Sains Teluk Intan back in 1989.
All in all ...a worthwhile trip ....learn some new things and getting to meet old friends and former students.

Electricity Transmission
Today's Physics class for 5 KM Yakin starts with a revision on transformers and followed by the topic on generation and transmission of electricity.
A video on structure of power cables and maintenance of high voltage power lines was shown during class. I have forgotten to include the likelihood of a new generation of power cables: the superconducting cables.
High temperature superconductors promise to revolutionised power distribution by providing lossless transmission of electrical power. The development of superconductors with critical temperatures close to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen has made the concept of superconducting power lines commercially feasible. However further research has to be carried out in order for this dream to become a reality.

Post H1 N1 blues
Yesterday, was quite hectic.
As in all Monday mornings, we had the school assembly after a one week hiatus of school activities due to the H! N1 epidemic.
It is also common after a long break for students to be a bit dreamy and distracted and they temporarily forgot about the proper etiquette of being in a formal school assembly. They were deservedly rewarded with the punishment of standing throughout the whole one hour assembly by the principal.
Then there was the admin.committee meeting followed by meeting and discussing with teachers and students about future events.
This morning we had a special session where those who were absent on the Friday before the forced break had to sit for all the papers they had missed. We had the test in the school hall (Dewan Sri Gemilang) and about 120 - 130 Forms 4 and 5 students turned up!!
After that was 2 periods of Form 4 Physics and 3 periods of Form 5 Physics. In between the two classes, i had a talk with a male form teacher who does'nt seem to realise the importance of filling in the class register properly. His class register is littered with liquid paper correction marks....which is an absolutely no-no for an official document.
I had lunch around 2.45 pm ...a bit late for some people but "biasa" for a Senior Assistant like me. Next meeting with the Automotive and PPU teachers chaired by the boss (the Principal) which last just before 4.45 pm. I managed to do some multi-tasking task of minuting letters while the boss do his stuff.
Went home about 5 minutes past five pm. Who says a teacher's job is easy....?

Majlis Akad Nikah Part 2
Alamak,
I must have mistakenly press the publish button before finishing my blog. Let me do some corrections and additions here.
The first photo (on top),
Back (L to R): Liza, Iyen and Acik Lilah (Jamilah, Dia's mother)
Front (sitting) Nana and Dia, herself.
Anyway, the akad nikah ceremony will be at 5,00 pm today. I heard that Astro has exclusive right rights to cover the event as well as the other reception at Menara Yayasan Tun Razak, tomorrow night, 2nd August 2009.
Selamat Pengantin Baru, Dia.

Majlis Akad Nikah
Today, another relative is getting married. This time it's my cousin Noor Azilla bt Nasaruddin. Her mother, Jamilah and my late mother are sisters...you see. Noor Azilla or "Dia" as she is affectionately refers to, works at Bank Rakyat. You can say "Bapa borek, anak rintik", because the father, Pacik Nasar was formerly working in Bank Negara.
Pict 1: From L to R : Nana, Ikin (Dia's sister), Dia, Izran holding Dila and Nurul.
Dia was one of my late mother's likeable nieces. She (my mother) followed her development and progress from her baby days till she grew into a fine young woman. Another doting niece was Iyen (Roszairin) who is my Mak Utih's youngest daughter. Iyen and Dia are the best of pals and will continue to be, even though Dia is getting married.
