Very interesting. Read on.........
A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover.
He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees
is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.
He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and
pressed. He looks around the room and sees that
it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table.
'Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping.
Love You!'
Totally shocked with the note , he goes to the kitchen and
sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.
His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, 'Son, what happened last night?'
His son says, 'Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious.
Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye
when you stumbled into the door'. Confused, the man asks,
'So, why is everything in order and so clean, and
breakfast is on the table waiting for me?
I should expect a big quarrel with her!'
His son replies, 'Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom,
and when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off,
you said,
'LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M MARRIED!'
Moral:
Self-induced hangover - $400.00
Broken crockery - $800.00
Breakfast - $10.00
Saying the Right Thing While Drunk? 'PRICELESS'

Singapore Mathematics
Will Wintercross did a piece on studying Mathermatics, the Singapore way.
This is his story titled;, "Children from Northwood Prep school get to grips with Singapore Maths."
" One country teaches children to recite their times tables and drills them in mental arithmetic. The other bans rote learning and encourages pupils to manipulate real objects and share ideas as they work in groups. Which one is Singapore, which consistently comes first or second in the international league tables for mathematics, and which is England?
The answer may come as a surprise. For despite the reputation of Pacific Rim countries for traditional chalk and talk, it is Singapore that uses the so-called trendy modern methods whereby children learn by doing in noisy classrooms. Times tables are frowned upon, just as they once were in England before the advent of the national curriculum.
Singaporean classrooms are noisy places where children learn maths by folding paper, constructing models and re-arranging pieces of fruit or lollipop sticks. And it is this method devised by the ministry of education that the city-state says has led to its rapid rise up the international tables.
In the last Timms survey of maths and science standards in 49 countries, Singapore came first for science and second for maths. Since the scheme known as Singapore Maths was introduced in the 1990s, the nation has not only moved to the top but no longer has a tail of low achievers. It was also ranked first for the quality of its education system by the Global Competitiveness Report 2007–2008.
As Singapore moved away from traditional methods to Western-style creativity and discovery learning, England moved in the opposite direction, bringing back compulsory times tables and tests for mental arithmetic. England, too, has improved its standing from 25th place in 1995 to seventh in the 2008 Timms survey published last December, but still more than one-fifth of children fail to pass the national curriculum maths tests. Last year, only 78 per cent of 11-year-olds and 77 per cent of 14-year-olds reached the standard expected for their age.
Now the Singapore system is being brought to Britain by the publisher Marshall Cavendish and Maths – No Problem, an organisation promoting good materials for home and school. But is it the method which makes the difference, or are children in Singapore more diligent and better supported at home?
Ling Yuan, head of maths at the Catholic High School in Singapore, was in Britain last week conducting seminars for home educators and maths teachers and visiting schools. She says the content of what is taught in primary maths differs very little to what is in the national curriculum in England, except that children in this country are expected to learn some areas of geometry that are taught to secondary-age children in Singapore.
There is more emphasis in Singapore maths, however, on gaining a good understanding of the basics before moving on, she says. This provides a strong foundation. Key to the programme is the insistence that children learn by sequence, first by manipulating objects in the real world, then by drawing pictorial representations before using the mathematical symbols.
"The concrete, pictorial, abstract method is very powerful because it helps children to visualise number and proportion. There is a huge emphasis on problem solving," she told a seminar in London. "The children form a mental picture and a deeper understanding using beans or pieces of pasta and then they might draw a box with green beans in it and for every 10 green beans you get a red one."
The simple task of folding paper can help children visualise division, she said, adding: "We don't get our children to memorise times tables. We are not into rote learning. We get the children to calculate 12 times six by breaking it into two times six and 10 times six and they soon get the answer into their brains."
Children in Singapore start school later, at the age of seven, and classes are larger – about 40 pupils. Whereas many maths classes are set by ability in England, Singaporean primary schools have mixed ability classes and rely on scaffolded questions to provide more challenging work for the most able. There is also an emphasis on children learning from each other.
"You would be shocked if you walked into one of our classrooms. Where is the teacher? He or she will not be at the front but working with one of the groups and there will be a lot of noise, we encourage children to work out the problems together," explains Ling. "Sometimes parents come to us worried because their children say they have been playing in maths, but when they see the mid-year test scores, they are satisfied."
Teachers are provided with examples of practical exercises and ways of illustrating mathematical concepts through pictures, using rectangles divided into parts or with blocks in which the children draw different numbers of objects. This helps primary teachers in Singapore who, like those in England, teach across the curriculum and are not usually maths specialists, adds Ling. The system has already been adopted at schools serving disadvantaged pupils in parts of America and a study by the US Department of Education found they had made very significant progress. "Singaporean students are more successful in mathematics than their US counterparts because Singapore has a world-class mathematics system with quality components aligned to produce students who learn mathematics to mastery," the researchers concluded. Some UK schools are adopting the scheme, among them Northwood Preparatory School in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. Bernie Westacott, its head of maths, says pupils were already doing well but after just a year of Singapore Maths are a year ahead of where they would have been.
"I have been teaching since 1973 and have never been happy with UK textbooks nor the way we have taught maths," he says. "I have continually searched for something that would be closer to what I felt was a better way so that this could be given to teachers as a ready-made resource, along with a reasonable amount of training. A few years ago I came across Singapore Maths which seemed a perfect fit.
"Pupils focus intensely on a handful of 'real maths' topics, whereas in the UK the maths curriculum is a mile wide and an inch deep, making it difficult for students to master the most important skills. Rather than teaching pupils to memorise facts and routines, the focus is on maths concepts which are born out of practical experience. We have seen a large improvement in their problem-solving ability because they are manipulating objects as opposed to learning routines."
Stephan Cook, the head of St Faith's CofE school in Wandsworth, south-west London, says aspects of the Singapore method are already in place in Britain, but less systematically. he says: "The books for teachers giving examples of how maths problems can be portrayed pictorially would be useful, but the most important thing in any method is that the teacher understands the concepts before trying to pass them on."
New versions of the Primary Mathematics and My Pals Are Here series of textbooks, published by Marshall Cavendish under curriculum guidelines from the Singapore Ministry of Education, will be available in Britain later this month."
So while with flip-flop with teaching Maths and Science in English and in Bahasa,can we at least have a look at the things that is being taught in Singapore Maths.
As I have mentioned in an earlier posting, methodology is very important. Then we must have good scaffolding learning structures as well as excellent,committed teachers to act as active enablers.

FDI dries up in China
The fulcrum to lever the global economy has apparently lost its attraction as a foreign direct investment (FDI) destination this year.
Reuters reported that for 1H,2009,China drew US$43 billion (RM150.5 billion) in FDI, 17.9 per cent less than in the same period in 2008. This was reported by the Commerce Ministry today.
That compared with a 20.4 per cent fall in the first five months.
In June alone, China attracted US$8.96 billion in FDI, down 6.8 per cent from a year earlier.
That marked the ninth straight month that FDI has fallen from year-earlier levels but the pace of decline was slower than in May, when inflows were down 17.8 per cent.
China attracted a record US$92.4 billion in non-financial FDI in 2008, an increase of 23.6 per cent from 2007.
Inflows surged in the years after the country joined the World Trade Organisation in 2001 but have weakened in recent months as the global economic slowdown has hit investment flows.
China's hope is that the decline will be smaller in the ensuing months

The Merlion Roars Back!
Positive territory. The Singapore economy has bounced back with a vengeance.
The Straits Times today has this great news. The little dot in the South China Sea is sparking fresh economic life again after a long wave of recessionary pressure.
Singapore roared out of recession with a growth of 20.4 per cent in the second quarter over the previous quarter, marking the first expansion in a year and prompting the government to raise its 2009 growth forecast.
The flash estimates, which are based mainly on April and May numbers, showed growth in the construction sector and a sharp improvement in manufacturing, mostly contributed by the drugs cluster.
“The Singapore economy is back, and back with a vengeance,” said HSBC economist Robert Prior-Wandesforde, who expects other regional economies to produce similar rallies.
The Singapore government also revised its 2009 growth forecast upwards after three downgrades.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) now expects the economy to contract by 4 to 6 per cent instead of the 6 to 9 per cent decline predicted in April, thanks to the “less severe contraction” in the first half of the year.
However, it is sticking to its outlook for the rest of the year — a weak recovery that will be at risk from more bad news.
The flash estimates were clearly the headline grabber yesterday (July 15, 2009). They showed that the economy surged 20.4 per cent compared with the first quarter — a far better figure than the experts had tipped and the first positive quarter after four consecutive quarters of contraction.
However, the economy was still down 3.7 per cent compared with the same period last year, its third straight year-on-year period of slump but again better then market expectations.
The brighter figures also mean Singapore is the first Asian economy out of a technical recession, defined as at least two consecutive quarters of contraction.
Yesterday's avalanche of numbers also sparked more optimism of a second quarter recovery across Asia, as Singapore is the first key economy in the region to report second quarter growth numbers.
Will this positivism spill over the Causeway?

Manek Urai-An Amateur's Analysis
Manek Urai continues the string of by-election losses for BN. In fact it was the easiest place to clinch a victory, even though by a nose. Sadly for the BN, PAS won by hot breath, a mere 65 votes on the first to pass the post contest.
In this constituency in the PAS heartland of Kelantan, the demographics was even-99% were Malays. The Chinese and Indians were totally insignificant in terms of voter numbers. The victory could go either way.
BN had the entire machinery with it and a handful of great promises,knowing the victory for Manek Urai will be driven by the politics of development over ideology. The bridge promise was just too attractive for these eager rural folks. BN could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
As for PAS and Pakatan Rakyat, the slim slip-in victory tells them ever so loudly. Unity is strength.
Do not be proud, strutting around because like the heady peacock, you can be de-feathered.
The issues concerning the pig abattoir in Kedah and the split between the Erdogans and the fundamentalists in PAS has certainly played to their loss of votes.
Voters saw the in-fighting as a weakness in both PR and PAS and swing votes to the BN could have led to the wafer-thin victory of PAS.
Many may see the return of outstation voters to have brought the victory to PAS, especially given the background of the beginning of the Anwar II sodomy trial.
Be that as it may,one thing is crystal clear. Barisan is on the long march back on the heels of the rising popularity of PM Najib.
The prodigal BN son may yet return to Kelantan!

Connery Did it Again!
The Rock continues to excite. One of the early film collaboration between Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer,it stars the indefatigable Sean Connery,the enigmatic Ed Harris and the cool Nicholas Cage. Powerful performances by all three.
Because the deaths of American marines on covert operations overseas are never rewarded and recognised, a group of soldiers led by a distinguished renegade general, stole 15 chemical warheads and encamped on Alcatraz with 81 hostages. They demanded USD 1 million for each of the soldiers involved in the mutiny on Alcatraz or else they will kill the hostages. They will then launched all 15 chemical warheads all over America.
The only way to get into Alcatraz to stop the bombs from being used was to tap the service of a British spy, Mason-played to the hilt by a still able-bodied Connery. Since Mason was incarcerated on Alcatraz for 30 years as a spy and was the only man to have escaped from the fortified prison, they need to use him to get in as only he knew the tunnels and catacombs below the dungeon.
As usual, they won after all kinds of adversity.
One of the films that you come out of the cinema, feeling happy that good has trumped the bad and misguided.

First Gifts after 100 days
Najib gave Malaysians 11 gifts after being a PM for 100 days.
Let us look at these gifts.
1.A 20% dicount for motorists who used the toll 80 times per month using Smartag or Touch N Go.
A normal driver will use a to and fro usage per working day. Thus in a month,he would use the toll 40 times. I guess effectively not many are going to benefit from this goody.
2.Sale of 44,000 low-cost houses to KL occupants who currently rent them. So the only people will be the current occupants. Not much ripple effect to other citizens
3.RM50 million allocation for entrepreneurs with another RM15 million for Indian businessmen. Again selective businessmen will get it including some Indians.
4.Issuance of another 3,000 taxi permits. Good for taxi users but we do not know the distribution of these permits by towns.
5.Expediting birth registrations in Sabah and Sarawak-it's a given-an adminstrative matter-not a goody
6.Clearing the backlog of citizenship applications - it's another given-an adminstrative matter-not a goody
7.Improving access to basic utilities in rural areas-another feel-good statement of intent when it is a basic necessity to have utilities like water and electricity. The government need to buck up here.
8.Reducing the cost to obtain a B2 motorcycle licence (under 250cc. This may have some impact as it include motorbike learning lessons from RM500-RM700. Will help rural folks and youths in towns.
9.Setting up of a new trust fund, Amanah Saham 1Malaysia for citizens above 18 years old. Will be helpful to pensioners and salaried workers. Hopefully, the returns are as good as ASN.
10.New measures to curb crime and corruption-These better be more than lip service.
So let us give PM another 200 days to see more concrete programmes instead of these adhoc bit and pieces type of handouts.
