Chinese Eat Pig ( Cina makan Babi)
This suckling pig is very yummy and delicious and it is on offer at only RM 98 per suckling. The usual price is RM 200, moreover it is not Made in Vietnam or Made in China but Made in 32nd Mile Kuching. Due to the over productive sow ( female pig )hence they need to have special offer so else it is too expensive to rear them to full grown pig . Believe me we have consumed 4 of these in the last month...forgetting about cholesterol, high blood pressure, uric acid ...enjoy first...die later..

@#*^##*@#**##*^#@&*#@*#@*&^$@&%####!!!!
This is the longest swear word I have ever made.... PTK June 2007 results is out already and just like the past 5 years I still get III for my umum paper where we are tested at least 5 questions on pra sekolah ( translated preschool) matters whereby I have been a secondary school teacher for the past 26 years ... I really see no purpose to test us like that unless they are encouraging us to start preschool either as moonlighting or as our sideline job
With a result like this it means no salary anjakan for me, again no matter what.... Even though I have got a IV already for my Kertas Khusus 3 years back , to get anjakan ( or salary increment) I need IV for both papers..
How on earth to get anjakan since there is a quota of 5 % ...even exams are governed by quota..Oh My Holy Goat!!!
The rational behind this test is we make us all more proficient in the civil service...and this is a real case of cakap tak serup bikin cos they themselves are not proficient enough as proved by the release of our results...I surfed the net to find the website for the announcement of the results but all i got is this
so want or not , we all have no choice but to sms to 39003 to get our results which costs RM0.30 per sms ...is this called proficiency???

Ora Et Labora
Dedicating to all Josephians: Happy 125th anniversary
To my alma mater, today I pen this with much pride
Of St Joseph’s School, where almost all had a good ride
Josephians in sports or education, few can actually deride
It was also there where some even found their brides
Founded by the Mill Hill missionaries from Holland
They built the school like they would in their fatherland
Rajah Brooke gave the land, they dug deep into the sand
On this same spot where St Joseph’s still proudly stands
Today, Josephians commemorate this event of 125 years ago
When the Catholic priests came to our island called Borneo
Leaving home and everything behind, including their ego
To whip us into shape, to be disciplined sons of St Joe
But soon, due to the dwindling numbers of the Fathers
In came, mostly from Ireland, the De La Salle Brothers
They set out to nurture the boys as sons would be by mothers
Spent their whole energy on them, as if they were no others
Kuching boys soon got used to the white men in cassocks
Yeah, they were angmoh, their noses as sharp as peacocks
If you were ever naughty, they’d whack you on the buttock
Their canes, in all sizes and length, were abundant in stock
From De La Salle order, the Brothers were trained educators
That was why they managed to turn many into victors
I ain’t too sure if they were able to please their ancestors
Ho Ho Ho, Cos they had all vowed to remain bachelors
With the Brothers as our teachers, we had forgotten the rest
In Sarawak during their time, yes they were among the best
They touched many lives, although some would detest
Truly, partly due to them we made many of our conquests
Seven years old in 1963, I entered St Joe’s Primary
Malaysia came into being, things’ still in a quandary
SNAP won the polls, Ningkan became chief minister
I believe the politicians then planned nothing sinister
I remember my primary school in Kuching’s Jalan Were
It was such a quiet place then, at night nothing stirred
Two three-storey blocks where boys were taught not to err
From Primary One to Primary Six, I emerged still blur
The principal Brother Austin was a man so affable
A burly guy, he was strict but the character was adorable
The letter ‘M’, he would say, in a manner so admirable
Just remember the walking stick, that would be applicable
There was Mrs Frank James, Mr Philip Sambui too
And Mrs Eng, always kind to let me go to the loo
Dear Mrs Lee, daily she prepared things for us to do
Finally, Mrs Chen, Mr Thang and Mr Chai Chin Tu
Into secondary school, things had to get more serious
Just passed the Common Entrance, we were all delirious
Our young bodies were a-changing, it was even hilarious
To learn a word like ‘hormone’ which was so mysterious
A difficult period, it was the time for boys to become men
Our parents knew that, so they sent us to the lion’s den
Remember son, Brother would say every now and then
Don’t forget your prayers, they must all end with Amen!
A Josephian’s day would begin with the morning assembly
Where the boys had better be present bright and early
The Brothers would ensure in a manner not so friendly
That all would be on time to sing the school rally
So we sang ‘Sons of St Joseph’s a voice is resounding’
Missed a line ‘Answer you all for the trumpet is sounding’
Our goal: ‘Prayer and labour your motto still bearing’
The tough one: ‘True to your standard be doing and daring’
For many Josephians then, those were tall orders indeed
To the Brothers, that was always part of their creed
A few rebelled but the majority learned to take heed
For the Brother were always there in our hour of need
Brother Hyacinth was the badminton coach, he was fast
Brother Adrian played rugby, he favoured a burly cast
Brother Mark was into athletics, beware if you came in last
Brother Henry played nothing, and his boys could have a blast
Then there was one we nicknamed Ta Kei, Big Brother la
This red-face guy was also dashing and pretty good in algebra
The Form Six girls loved him, yes he’s Brother Columba
With him around, they wouldn’t dare be seen without a bra
Personally, I also have many fond memories of other teachers
William Chan, YK Tan, they remained my favourite features
Simon Lo, NG Chai, Mathias Lee were such harmless creatures
Nicholas Jee and Cikgu’ Hol, they were also good preachers
NRC Babu, Clarence, Cikgu Bujang are also fondly remembered
Their demeanour, some of which left many of us bewildered
Then, there were also Joe O’ Connor and Datuk Polycarp Sim
Yes, that loving grand old man who reminded us not to sin
Across the road, many Josephians paid a lot of attention
The girls of St Teresa’s, oh they were such an attraction
Every time the boys whistled, the girls would giggle
Happily for both sides then, they still could not goggle
In conclusion, life in St Joe was both fast and furious
If their sons didn’t do well, parents would be anxious
What were the white men doing there, outsiders were curious
All received a normal education, there was nothing fictitious
Dear fellow Josephians, as you wine and dine tonight
Pray for the Brothers and teachers, our guiding light
Their lives of sacrifices and dedication, try to ignite
Sons of St Joseph’s valiant and true, you must recite
(The writer is an old boy of St Joseph’s School, Kuching. He can be reached at paulsir99@hotmail.com)
P/s It is always nice to read what ex students write about their alma mater..their memories, their life , their thoughts and experiences so present Josephians read this and learn from their wise words.

What happens to mothers nowadays?
we used to hear praises like this:
We praise our mothers because of the wonderful things they have done to bless us. While many women do many wonderful things, a mother, our mother, surpasses all others because she has done them for us.
Think of all she has done to give us life: offered her body, her time, her own physical nourishment, her attention, her affection, her concern, her laughter, her tears, her guidance, her correction, her pain, her praise, her care, her sleep, and her love. In fact, the list could continue for more than a page.
Take a moment and reminisce. Think of all the times your mother cared for you in special ways — birthday parties, shopping for you, praying for you, doing without so you could have… "There are a lot of good women out there in the world, but Mom, you're the greatest!" Proverbs 31:29 makes clear, this praise should be given by a good mothers.
But seeing news like this : A mother and her boyfriend have been jailed for murdering her four-year-old daughter in West Yorkshire. makes me ponder what is happening to mothers nowadays...
and also the recent Made in Malaysia case too :Ying Ying murder case and also this: Mother of abused toddler charged
No matter what happens to mothers this day, to me mothers are always and still of this image:
A Mother’s love, is sure to find
A way to comfort, ease your mind
She knows just how, to build you up
When you’re so down, and can’t look up
You love the way, she makes you feel
Like you’re so special, her ideal
Her thought must start, with God above
To bring such caring, with such love
And as it flows, like gentle rain
It surely helps, when troubles pain
The love from mine, is oh so clear
I only wish, she was here
Her warming glow, is missed each day
Even though, I seldom say
But she did leave her gift behind
To help me through, when I may pine
And that’s the feel, known deep inside
Her faith and love, I still confide

An Act of God
Long long time ago when the highway collapsed. the bridge broken, the Parliament roof leaking and the building cracking you say they are all acts of God . You also say global changes in the weather pattern have resulted in heavier rain which is to be blamed for the recent leaks at the Parliament building.
On Thursday night a lightning came striking into my house, striking away my modem , my wireless Delink , my computer LAN card and my TV antenna so do you think this is an act of God too or blame it on the global change in the weather ??
I am confused , please enlighten and thank You very much for taking the time to read my letter.
chris
p.s. I know you are a busy man that is why I kept my letter short and sweet.
oh! before I forget have you endorsed this song to be sang in tadika during their daily assembly ?

Hello Mr Goblok aka Mr Anonymous
Two moons on 27th August

I don't think you're an "educator" at all. A real teacher would research this better, and would know by now that it IS a hoax.
You then wouldn't have to get up to (not) see it that day.

To Discipline or Not To Discipline
1. see disciplinary problems ...we face it and who knows may even end up in the front page of local and national newspaper or
2. ignore and pretend not to see any disciplinary problems in order not to end up on the front page
If we choose path 1 ...we teachers "die"
If we choose path 2 ...students and parents "die"
so how??
Comments are very much welcomed!!!

PROBLEMS IN COMMENTING ON BLOGGER

Is algebra and equations too difficult for your child?
After much research on Internet I found this score learning programme which help students with these equations and algebra. The programme uses a diagnostic and prescriptive approach to identify a child's needs, then define an individualized learning plan. Their adaptive computerized curriculum also helps children to learn at their own pace.
Their learning is effective because each student will receive individual instruction from their math tutors with no more than seven students for every instructor as compared to our class of 40 students.With such good attention students are bound to make significant academic progress, which will later translate into improved confidence and motivation. This approach of learning will surely inspire our children to excel.
Math can be complicated and math can be hard, but once it's understood, math can be fun.

New Toy
In order not to feel guilty for buying this toy I need to state to myself 10 good reasons for buying it :
1. It is cheap RM 249 only + 2 cosway redemption coupons
2. Hard to find real 100% wholemeal bread in bakery...most of the wholemeal bread are actually mixed with at least 30% white flour
3. As a prediabetic, I really need to eat low GI wholemeal bread even though it is not nice since it is tough and not sweet.
4. Most bread sold in towns are loaded with preservatives.
5. Very lazy to drive to my favourite ALOHA DELICATESSEN BAKERY just to get one loaf of bread
6. Can just set the time and wow... wake up in the morning a nice loaf of bread is there waiting for me......
7. Can now make a wide wide variety of wholemeal bread ..like wholemeal banana bread, wholemeal cheese bread .. wholemeal cinnamon bread, wholemeal bacon bread, wholemeal herbal bread ..is the list long enuf to bore you???
8. I love to eat pizza but after diagnosed as a diabetic I shy away from Pizza Hut so with this new toy I can make my own wholemeal pizza base and put my favourite toppings on it ...Muahaha...
9. For the last 7 months, I didn't eat a single piece of my favourite pau:
with this new toy I can command it to knead pau with wholemeal flour then take them out and put in fillings and steam ...tata... my favourite pau.sssss.
10. I love baking but I hate kneading ... so this machine will now do all the kneading in this world without me lifting a figure ..just need to press buttons .. I love technology.......
Ok ..enuf 10 reasons ... I don't find myself guilty anymore to buy it.
Shhh.. just to tell you my llth reason ..also a secret of mine... that is to celebrate my pay rise this month... I love Abdullah Badawai aka Pak Lah ... someone once says this " Masa Abdullah, SEMUA NAIK..." do your own research and interpretations on these words...
