my coin collection

I am Starting a coin collection. one coin in particular that really push me to do it more and seriously



would be this one that I got during the holiday
Sarawak have 3 white Rajah but I did not know they minted their own coin.
I have seen the old coins with king and queen from England but owning a white Rajah Brooke coin really make me want to start collecting coin again. have also did some reading about coins and money from Malaysia.

Did you know: Tanah Melayu independent on 1957, malaysia was form in 1963 but strangely we only have malaysian coin minted in 1967

Protect your PC

for computer safety try out the Returnil softwear it actually copy your entire C:/ drive and load an image of your C :/ driver

so what you do to your PC [deleating or adding files] it will revert to original state on restart. but what I don't like is the fact that it cut you C:/ drive space to half; meaning any free space in your C:/ drive will be split in half or copy as an image so make sure you clean out your C:/drive first before you install this program. its good because you can actually run your system in a isolated state and it reduce wear and tear on your actual C:/ drive physical driver, its also free but with pay upgrade.

next is Sandboxie
unlike returnil it does not copy the C:/ driver but isolate a area to trap the changes you make to your pc like this



so when running this even though you think you copy/download/install or save something but if its run under sandboxie and you did not save the changes when you exit it will erase everything as if it never happen. you know when your program is in the sandbox when there is a [#] infront of the window or program that you run.
this is just wonderful for work in office because i can still use the C:/ drive and at the same time protect my PC from unwanted software files and just to test out a new software.

right now i have Returnil in my Laptop and sandboxie in my office PC. give it a go if you guys are worry about virus/trogen/ adware/ melware and such. wish i knew about these sooner.

Muet Ranking

this is the first time we have ranking for MUET and it show us how we did in comparison with other lecturers in preparing students for MUET. although i do have to believe that its not that fair since there are some lecturer that was given more weaker class compare to others who are given some better class but still the result show i Rank 14 out of 20 with an AVG of 2.945 for specific reason i wont be showing the actual number of all my students result but out of 110 students under my guidance 22 students got Band 2 which is very sad they should get band 3 at least. so this will be my KPI. i hope to improve the students result in english and muet especially because it will play a part in their university and later life.
i always believe that i was doing better and was improving my teaching skills but some time its just sad to see my students getting their result and feel sad or even worry. there are times when i feel that my students could have done better if they were under other lecturers guidance and ultimately i play a part in their poor result
but when they get good result i don;t feel i play a role in it. this is the case because it is very hard to improve students with the given time before the MUET. what i feel is that what I can do is to improve the students understanding of the format and requirement of muet how to score and what to look out for. but in term of vocabulary and the command of the language its really up to the students themselves to actually get higher Band like Band 4 or 5 so i do really hope i will be more careful and truly able to help students get band 3 and above no more band 2 if possible.

Happy Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year 2011 my youngest brother went to Sibu with the in-laws to visit their Grandma. It was a rainy CNY for some part of malaysia with flood and all.
the first day of CNY was clear sky all day but the following day when we wanted to visit relatives it was raining almost all day.

this year I would say is a year of learning for me. I found out that my Great Grandmother from my mother's side is actually a Nyonya from Singapore. and that my youngest aunt who was given away to a doctor when she was a baby because she was sickly, and is now married to an American actually had a baby girl. she is my cousin my youngest cousin that is only like 4 or 5 years old around the same age as my nephew is.

FaceBook is a great place to see your relatives' picture and such.

Ahqim has a great expensive house that i aspired to have someday and Aubrey has grown quite tall
all in all CNY is a time to get in touch with your family and friends in my case mostly with my family member.
it is great to see how everyone is doing and for people like me who is working far away from home it just might be the only time i see my relatives once a year.
