Pristin Transview Golf tournament @ PTGC

It was certainly not a tournament for the lower-handicappers. The tournament was played using the modified stableford system. Medal A was for 0 to 16 handicappers. I played quite well. Scored 82 on the stroke play; even with a 2 strokes penalty inquired when I stupidly removes some "kemuncup" around my ball, at rest. All the winners came from the higher handicappers; to be exact; the 16 handicappers. 5th place got 41 points. The winner was a guy who manage to score 46 points. I got 35 points; the only consolations, won LD....not longest drive but lucky draw. Will only take part in a stroke play tournament in the future.

In my alumni egroup today..interesting comment; ....

From Bro Prof Ahmad Puaad Osman of UKM;

"I have never said that studying Math & Science is not Good...I was in SMSS from 73-74. I took MCE, All the nine subjects were in English ( Subjective tau ) Xcept Malay and Ugama.
But when I grow up, Involved my self with education ( Not politics Ha..) and try to understand the efforts of BUILDING A NATION.. like what the Japanese, Korean, German, British, Chinese, Russians. do ..( a few more..) I now understand the need of my mother's tounge
language. Americans do not built their nation. America is the melting pot of many nations who just want to seek opportunity and fortunes. ( A researched was done by a scholar from UKM. Prof. Shahrir Md Zain...( mathematician ).. 80%of the Nobel Laureat, were educated in their own mother tounge's language, at least up to the Bachelor degree before they immigrated to the USA -the land of opportunies ). Believe me...In 20 years to come...If the present trend is to stay.. we will never again see food ingradients written in the Malay Language on food wrappers or food package. Why??? because nobody understand it.. and by the way who needs it anyway..Everybody is talking in English when it comes to science technical terms.
Remember.. We are talking about BUILDING A NATION with pride....not building a rumah setinggan. To remind again.. English is VERY important.

Just ponder: When Malaya or British were ruling before.. or may be in the 60s and early 70s...English was the main stream at that time.. (mind you I was in Malay school.. then remove class and only then English ).. were the Malays .. ( excuse me to the non-Malays )...much better of in Science and technology.. in 60s and 70s. The core of the problem is Sound Education system. Recently ( my daughter is one of them) the JPA has started sending students to Russia and Ukraine (Ukraine dah stop) and Indonesia to study medicine - to save cost. These students have to speak and write in Russian when they go to clinics. In class they sometimes have to
read medical literatures in Latin...It seems, they wre OK, and survived despite the difficulties. Believe me if most of our students have good command of English.. NO BODY bothers
to ask to teach Science and Math in English.. So logically.. English & Science and Math have VERY little correlation.

One silly question to ponder .. If we want our footballers to be like the Brazilians.. why don we ask the coach and sports teachers teach football in Brazillian (?) or Spanish for that matter.. Ini joke je..

I rest my case here for a while.. I may be wrong !!!!. But I want my future generation know that I contributed to the Nation building...

For your information... The equation F=ma is not always right... Have you ever heard about F=ma2 ( squared )"


Hmmmmmmmm....????

Aiks!!!! Budak yang kena tangkap basah ngan NFJ tu ropernyer....

Member gua la!!!!!

I was browsing through this gossip column discussing about the "close proximity" case of a popular Telecaster of TV3. Tetiba gambar member gua yang kena tangkap tu ngan NFJ terpancar kat dalam forum tu.....


Alamak, gua memang kenal brother ni. Last sekali main ngan dia kat Sri Selangor. Memang le NFJ pun ada kat situ, having lunch with all of us. I still remember my flightmates that day, Executve Director of SKALI, AA , Mr ASH and the Bro EP. Memang kerja dia main golf, everyday plak tu ..he,he.. tuah badan. Aku terus call Mr ASH and AA. "Oii yooo member main golf kiter suda jadi orang fofular la"

Anyway Brother EP...wherever you are...I hope you'll be cool... with your pipe.

Another Golf Tourney; PristineTransview; 18/12

It's about time for me to participate in another golf tournament; the PristineTransview Golf Tourney; Sunday 18/12/2005. Hope to get a good score that day. Will try. .......Another important thing, and got to remember this; .......it coincide with the wifey's birthday date la.

La, .....Melayu ropernyer....

There was this video clipping; purportedly showing a Chinese national being asked to do ear squats in nude. Everyone was shocked. From a local issue; it became a G to G issue. Bilateral relationship between two countries, China, and Malaysia was in jeopardy. A commision were set-up to investigate the case. Pak Lah scolded his minister for coming up with insensitive comment about the incident. Today, it was revealed that the lady filmed doing the ear squads naked was not even a Chinese national but a local malay. What gives????

I asked a policeman friend of mine...
" so, apa sebab budak perempuan tu bogel masa kena ketuk ketampi??"
" Aisay, Golfer Melayu, bila lu buat raid, tempat tu selalunyer dijadikan tempat menyorokkan pil-pil tertentu, ....so dari kita orang korek sendiri; baik suruh dia buat ketuk ketampi 10 kali; kalau ada apa-apa kat dalam benda tu; sure terkeluar punyer.....mana lu hendak; nak suruh kita orang korek ke, nak suruh ketuk ketampi?...."
"Mak aihh??? Dasat tu"....

Hmmmmmmm.......

maybe,..... I can make money by inventing a non-contact; non-intrusive scanning device.......

Online Marketing.....

"Golfer Melayu; we need a new way to do marketing, man..." .D
"Ok, I'm listenin'"
"I read that blog will be the in-thing to do proactive marketing; we could create a blog; talk about out tacit and explicit knowledge about eLearning;.....; we will link this blog to the company's website ........ it's like the company brand awareness program; .....through this blog; very cheap. You have blog right, Golfer ?" D.
"Yup, I have a blog; just for me to release my thoughts on a lot of useless stuff"
" So, how many readers do you have; you have the knowledge on online and onsite marketing.." D.
" D, first of all, I have created the blog for myself; just to reminisce my experience on a later date and mostly I write about bullshit; anyway, to answer your question; I've received about 1,500 hits to date"
"Within a month??" D.
"No Bro!! in 8 months!!!! since I first started to put in the online statistic thingy within the blog"
"Aiya; So how can you get people to search and reach for your blog?"D
"D, if you wanna do that; in Malaysia, most people will probably search for keywords such as, Melayu boleh, melayu bogel; awek melayu; seks, or sex; or even siti nurhaliza.....in indon, try tiara lestari; cerita seru; Kris Dayanti, Inul; and if you're looking for traffic from around the word, try free porn, nude celebrities or stuff like that...."
" Aiyo!!!!!!!, I wanna write about eLearning,....... not sex!!!!!!" D.

No. 1

Aku dah pernah berambut style budak-budak sekolah, masa kat sekolah rendah and menengah la. Rambut panjang sampai ke dada, style mat rock @ mat dadah, pun dah pernah, ni masa kat University la. Aku tengok muka aku time tu memangla handsome,... tapi menakutkan. Sebijik cam Mat fit. Dengan gitar plak, ke sana , ke sini. Orang lain belajar kat Library, gua kat Student Union....main pool, main video-games,....... sambil belajar. Pernah satu ketika, bapak mertua aku melawat that University, pasai hal kerja; dan masa tu plak, aku tengah couple ngan anak dia. Dia jeling semacam je. He, he. Siap check keputusan aku lagi, walaupun aku ni different "Scholar". Nasib baik gak aku ni bole tahan pandai nyer,.....muka cam budak kena "probation"...aku tau ni pun, sebab wife aku, masa tu kira awek le, pernah cuba di tackle oleh mamat yang cuba memburukkan imej gua dengan mengatakan gua ni budak takda masa depan, tapi in real life, aku ni "dean's-list" student le. he, he. So, don't judge a book by it's cover. Tapi kan, kalau aku tengok nanti, anak perempuan aku keluar ngan mamat yang "seropa" perwatakan luarannyer, macam aku pada masa tu, aku pun sure reject mamat tu punyer.

Masa aku mula kerja, in US lagi, aku dah potong rambut, tapi still panjang le, ada ekor-ekor. Balik Malaysia, rambut aku still panjang gak. Pernah aku ditegur oleh "boss" aku masa tu, pasal rambut aku yang ada jurai-jurai kat belakang.

Last Sunday, aku rasa macam nak gunting rambut aku , pendek se pendeknyer....kalau gi kedai gunting rambut, cakap aja, nombor 1. Bila aku duduk ajer kat kerusi gunting rambut tu, mamak tu tanyer,

"Camner Bang?"
" No 1, kasi all-around no. 1" Aku
"Huh?!, biar betul bang"
"Yup no 1, Just do it la"


So, Sekarang aku dah berambut ala-ala gondol....and aku bole nampak yang rambut kat tengah lebih jarang dari rambut kat tepi...bahana pakai topi tengah panas, bertahun-tahun, masa di padang golf . Mula-mula pas gunting tu, aku nak gelak tengok muka aku, lama-lama nampak okay la plak. Hmmmmm......................
