SMS Muar 25 Years - Jubli Perak - 26, 27 & 28 Jun 2008

Gambar-gambar persiapan Sambutan. 1983-2008. (More update later)






orang di depan tabir alumni. presiden - dato zaky (kiri sekali) tengah berbincang.

gambar sebenar sumbangan General Electric, Tanjung Agas, Muar yang dirakam tahun 1983 (company tu pun dah tak wujud di sana) . Di belakang itu adalah Sungai Muar (yang indah/permai - airnya dalam dan banyak buaya - pesan untuk mereka yang suka/rajin fly). Terasa panas dan gersangnya tanah masa itu. Pokok yang paling tinggi ketika itu ialah paras kepala lutut - sabor je la..

untuk lihat gambar terkini - klik sini

biasaklah - band boys, kena buat show, zapin, inang dan sebagainya.

saya terkejut kerana gambo atas ni digantung di bangunan /asrama sekolah. kalau boleh eloklah gambo tu diturunkan -- ye, hapuskan buli -- takde pekdah langsung.

cek nak habaq la...masa zaman abang ko ni dulu, takde gantung notis-notis ni - tiada kes buli berlaku masa zaman abang-abang sekolah dulu....

selesai majlis tahlil/yassin sempena sambutan 25 tahun. presiden turun padang tengok anak buah (Form 5) yang terlibat untuk kerja-kerja akhir persiapan.

pelajar Form 5 yang bertungkus lumus membantu persiapan.

ok selamat berjaya dalam SPM 2008.

Kuasai pelbagai bahasa - MB
MUAR 28 Jun - Menteri Besar, Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman menggesa semua pelajar supaya menguasai pelbagai bahasa terutama Bahasa Melayu dan Bahasa Inggeris untuk berjaya dalam pembelajaran pelbagai mata pelajaran termasuk Sains dan Matematik.Menurutnya, dalam usaha kerajaan menerapkan mata pelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris di kalangan pelajar sekolah, peranan bahasa lain termasuk Bahasa Melayu tidak boleh dipinggirkan malah amat perlu dikuasai.
Katanya, kepentingan bahasa Inggeris yang menjadi bahasa perantaraan di seluruh dunia juga perlu terus dikuasai di samping menguasai bahasa lain supaya ia menjadi kelebihan kepada mereka.
"Kita tidak menafikan kepentingan Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris namun para pelajar juga diharap dapat menguasai pelbagai ilmu dan bahasa lain termasuk Bahasa Melayu yang diajar kepada mereka," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap merasmikan sambutan Jubli Perak Sekolah Menengah Sains Muar, Tanjung Agas, di sini malam tadi.
Sambutan ulang tahun ke-25 sekolah itu turut dihadiri lebih 1,000 pelajar sekolah terbabit, pemimpin-pemimpin masyarakat serta pengetua kanan sekolah itu, Samian Sawiyo.
Abdul Ghani dalam pada itu berharap Sekolah Menengah Sains Muar yang tergolong antara 10 sekolah berasrama penuh terbaik di seluruh negara dalam mencatat keputusan peperiksaan umum supaya meneruskan kecemerlangannya melahirkan pelajar yang berkualiti.
Pada majlis itu, Abdul Ghani turut menyampaikan anugerah kepada 10 kakitangan sekolah berkenaan yang berkhidmat selama 25 tahun di sekolah itu dan mengumumkan peruntukan kerajaan negeri berjumlah RM500,000 bagi menaik taraf pelbagai kemudahan sekolah.

Cinta Sukun - Bercintalah Sesukun-sukunnya (sajak)

CINTA SUKUN - BERCINTALAH SESUKUN-SUKUNNYA

Bukan niat ingin perli
Jauh sekali diriku irihati
Apalagi dikau ku cemburui

Apalah nak jadi dengan dunia ini
Cinta pun boleh dijualbeli
Oleh buah sukun goreng diumpani

Petang semalam buah sukun
Petang ini buah sukun
Petang esok pastinya buah sukun

Dijamahi bersama-sama - manja
Dengan gelak dan pelukan - mesra
Kata perbualan tidaklah penting - leka
Asalkan sukun goreng dikunyahi - bersama

Cinta sukun
Cinta sukun
Orang lain yang mempelawa pisang goreng
Pun
Tidak langsung si dia mahu berpaling

Sedangkan Lidah Lagi Tergigit (P.Ramlee & Saloma)

Sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit

Apa pula suami isteri

Buang yang keruh ambil yang jernih

Baru teguh peribadi

Apa guna kita bertengkar

Suami isteri harus bersabar

Kasih sayang rukun dan damai

Hidup seperti dalam mahligai

Maaf hamba wahai dinda

Buang yang keruh ambil yang jernih

Baru teguh peribadi

Suami isteri mesti berpakat

Rumah tangga mendapat berkat

Apa guna selisih faham

Kalau kini aman tenteram

Pohon ampun wahai kanda

Buang yang keruh ambil yang jernih

Baru teguh peribadi

Khutbah Jumaat

Untuk ingatan kepada diri saya dan mereka yang suka mengambil ilmu dan mengamalkannya.

__

Khutbah Jumaat di Masjid Saidina Abu Bakar dengan tajuk - RASUAH - (macam-macam cara/bentuk) - kedua-dua pihak pemberi & penerima rasuah itu akan dihumban ke neraka.

Nabi Muhammad s.a.w bersabda:

“Pemberi rasuah dan penerima rasuah akan dimasukkan ke dalam api neraka”. (riwayat At-Tabrani)

i have to browse thru internet to get exact info on coxsackie. share.

Coxsackievirus is the name of two groups of enteroviruses - a genus associated with several human and mammalian diseases.

The most well known Coxsackie A disease is hand, foot and mouth disease, a common childhood illness which affect mostly children aged 10 or under 1, often produced by Coxsackie A16. In others, infection produces short-lived (7-10 days) fever and painful blisters in the mouth. On the palms and fingers of the hand, or on the soles of the feet. There can also be blister in the throat, or on or above the tonsils. Adults can also be affected. The rash, which can appear several days after high temperature and painful sore throat, can be itchy and painful, especially on the hands/fingers and bottom of feet.

Symptoms of infection with viruses in the Coxsackie B grouping include fever, headache, sore throat, gastrointestinal distress, as well as chest & muscle pain. Sufferers of chest pain should see a doctor immediately - in some cases, viruses in the Coxsackie B family progress to myocarditis or pericarditis, which can result in permanent heart damage or death. Coxsackie B virus infection may also induce aseptic meningitis. As a group, they are the most common cause of unexpected sudden death, and may account for up to 50% of such cases.

Contagiousness
Coxsackieviruses are very contagious. They can be passed from person to person on unwashed hands and surfaces contaminated by feces. They can also be spread through droplets of fluid sprayed into the air when someone sneezes or coughs.

When an outbreak affects a community, risk for coxsackievirus infection is highest among infants and children younger than 5. The virus spreads easily in group settings like schools, child-care centers, or summer camps. People who are infected with a coxsackievirus are most contagious the first week they're sick.

Prevention
There is no vaccine to prevent coxsackievirus infection. Hand washing is the best protection. Remind everyone in your family to wash their hands frequently, particularly after using the toilet (especially those in public places), after changing a diaper, before meals, and before preparing food. Shared toys in child-care centers should be routinely cleaned with a disinfectant because the virus can live on these objects for days.

See doctor immediately if your child develops any of the following symptoms:

-
-fever higher than 38° Celsius

-poor appetite
-trouble feeding
-vomiting
-diarrhea
-difficulty breathing
-convulsions
-unusual sleepiness
-pain in the chest or abdomen
-sores on the skin or inside the mouth
-severe sore throat
-severe headache, esp. with vomiting, confusion, unusual sleepiness
-neck stiffness
-red, swollen, and watery eyes
-pain in one or both testicles

secret tapping

i suppose we don't have this, here, in Malaysia - am i right?

if not, we better be extra careful on what we want to "grow" in our phone calls, emails and sms. be responsible - yes, that's the word.

Click on the subject for more details.

Sweden to allow secret tapping of phone calls, email
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden on Wednesday adopted contentious legislation that will give officials sweeping powers to eavesdrop on all e-mail and telephone traffic that crosses the Nordic nation's borders.
After heated debate and last-minute changes, lawmakers approved the bill that has outraged some lawmakers and prompted protesters to hand out copies of George Orwell's novel "1984" outside Parliament.
Lawmakers approved the bill in a 143-138 vote. One lawmaker abstained.
It will become law in January.
Google Inc. and Swedish telecom TeliaSonera AB have called it the most far-reaching eavesdropping plan in Europe, comparable to a U.S. government surveillance program.

Be Proactive - DIY Hydroponics, anyone?

(just share experience/knowledge)

i am involved in both hydroponics and fertigation activities/business (actually fertigation is a subset of hydroponics). kos sayur sudah naik! let's try to reduce the daily/monthly burden , we go for hydroponics. be proactive and let's DIY the vege that we eat everyday.

why hydroponics? - (1) easy (2) you can grow almost everything (vege la..not human) (3) practical for city dwellers, apartment/home/bungalow owners (4) cost-effective including efficient nutrient consumption (5) the hydroponics plants grow faster (6) do experience/learn agri skill yourselves - your own way.

hydroponics is damn easy - no soil, plants eat directly from whatever minerals you give (you bagi dia makan ciput, dia bagi you sayur ciput je la...) so jom kita tanam sayur secara hidroponik, ok! (kalau tak setuju, sila ke posting saya yang lain. tq)

--

what to plant? - as i said, anything - lettuce, cucumber, sawi, melon, tomato, beans (kacang buncis, kacang panjang), peria, petola, spinach, celery, kengkong (kangkong le tu...), daun sup etc.

in short -- grow whatever you like to eat, or if you hate vege, grow whatever your neighbours like most. semua tanaman kontan (short term) boleh ditanam secara hidroponik. ingat - jangan tanam duku dan durian dalam sistem hidroponik...

(ha ha ha, ko ni Din, aku lepuk kang)

ok let's prepare the system (hydroponics) -

(1) you can buy (see items in pic)

(2) you can DIY from used items

(3) you can DIY properly/nicely and look similar to commercial farming.

the above pic is a ready system, not so nice la, but for apartment ok la kot...

used items can replace commercial yellow cups.

or, for "commercial-like" DIY hydroponics system, what you should have :-

(1) the cups (yellow)

(2) 1 unit (or 100 units!!!) 10' or 20' PVC (grey/white). drill hole (to place the yellow cup) for every 6 inches along the 10' or 20' PVC - PVC bulat boleh @ PVC bersegi pun ok.

(3) small water pump (pam akuarium pun ok) + digital timer + blue tank(s).

& drill and fix (see pic below)...(boleh letak di halaman rumah)

if you go for commercial (hydroponics farming), it will be like the pic below.

you may want to apply your genius creativity & invent new thing. if you opt for commercial-like farming with low budget, do it like the one below.

On the minerals/nutrients and seeds, we will discuss in other postings (if time permits) -- (panjang sangat ngomel pun orang boring). All i have to say is these items are readily available (just email me -- Din, i'm interested to have this and that, i want to eat more vege or my neighbours want me to grow kangkung for them.. etc).

The most important thing is that if you think hydroponics is good for you (and neighbours), go do it today.
