PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday announced that 20 schools -- 14 secondary and six primary -- had been accorded the status of high performance schools (SBTs).
Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said of the 14 secondary schools, 10 were fully residential schools and the rest were day schools.

“These schools were chosen from among schools that showed outstanding performance in the field of academia, co-curricular activities and niche areas.

“The schools will be guided and monitored closely to ensure they continue to attain even higher levels of performance,” he told reporters at his office here Monday.

The 10 fully residential schools are Sekolah Tun Fatimah (Johor Bahru), Sekolah Dato’ Abdul Razak (Seremban), Malay College Kuala Kangsar, Sekolah Seri Puteri (Cyberjaya), SM Sultan Abdul Halim (Jitra), Kolej Tunku Kurshiah (Seremban), Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah (Klang), Sekolah Menengah Sains (SMS) Tuanku Syed Putra (Perlis), Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah (Putrajaya) and SMS Muzaffar Syah (Malacca).

The four day schools are SMK (P) Sri Aman (Petaling Jaya), SMK Aminuddin Baki (Kuala Lumpur), SMK Sultanah Asma (Alor Setar) and SMK (P) St George (Penang).

The six primary schools are SK Seri Bintang Utara (KL), SK Taman Tun Dr Ismail 1 (KL), SK Bukit Damansara (KL), SK Zainab (2) (Kota Baru), SK Convent Kota (Taiping), SK Bandar Baru Uda 2 (Johor Bahru).

Muhyiddin stressed that SBTs were not elite schools which benefited only a limited number of students.

Instead, he said each school in the country had the same opportunity and a level playing field to be recognised as an SBT.

Dansa by Sasha Bashir

21.01.10

Have you ever heard of Sasha Bashir?

Well, she might not be as famous as Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza the singer, or Maya Karin the actress. But I bet some of you might’ve came across her name before. She worked for Istana Budaya and performed in few theatres. She was the host for Explorace and she was one of the actress of “5 Jingga” drama.

I simply like her because she is a graduate from West Australian Academy of Performing Arts with a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Performing Arts. And this is because I love dancing especially traditional dance.

So she has this documentary of dances titled DANSA that was aired on TV3 earlier last year and re-aired on NTV7 (English version) by end of last year. And unfortunately i hadn’t had the chance to watch the show :( This is the very disadvantages of staying in the hostel, you know…

Anyway, few months ago, she launched her first book ever also by the titled DANSA. The book includes beautiful photographs of her during the shooting of DANSA episode taken by Aiemax/Fazari, Madehi and Jay Ismail. The photographs are including the different places she went, the costumes and the story of the dances.

(Picture courtesy of Sasha Bashir’s blog)

It is a hardcover with 200 pages, contains over 250 beautifully photographed moments during her journey of the documentary. There are also pictures taken behind-the-scenes while Sasha Bashir and the production crew travelled to 13 locations for the show including states in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and Japan.

DANSA by Sasha Bashir is available in Malaysia bookstores for RM 130.

 

So here come the question…

who’s willing to get this for me….?

Please…..

Pretty please….. >_<

Ok. I do feel old now.

Hari tu masa hujung minggu pertama bagi tahun 2010 yang diluangkan di rumah, terpikir nak selongkar almari nak carik gambar2 zaman skola2 + matriks + undergrad nak upload kat facebook (but mostly yang best2 dah upload dah) dan terjumpa dengan beberapa harta yang amat berharga. Harta yang berharga ni bukanlah emas ke duit ke. Tapi lagi mahal tau. Yang x boleh dibeli di mana2 tau tau..

Eh cop. Blog ni kejap ckp english kejap ckp BM. Hurmm..apa2 lah.

Ok. Sambung. So ada lah terjumpa beberapa harta yang membuatkan diri sendiri tersenyum sorang2 dalam bilik dan membuatkan diri rasa tua pulak sebab dah lama meninggalkan zaman harta2 berharga tersebut. Huhu~Look what I found.

Buku tulis masa zaman sekolah rendah SRK (P) Dato’ Abu Bakar (2) dan SRA Al-Watan. Ada beberapa buah buku macam ni dalam almari. Ada yang dah guna ada yang masih belum terusik.
Yang ada dalam gambar ni, buku sekolah SDAB tu belum guna. Masih kosong lagi. Yang buku sekolah Al-Watan tu dah guna. Buku pelajaran ‘Jawi’, darjah ‘2 Ros’. hehe. Buku tahun 1993 tu..

Sekolah Rendah Agama Al-Watan, Jalan Traver, Kampung Pandan, Kuala Lumpur

SRK (P) Dato’ Abu Bakar (2), Jalan Davis, Kuala Lumpur

Sekolah rendah ni dulu sangat lah orang x tau sebab sangat di hujung pelusuk mana ntah. Pagi2 pukul 6 lebih dah keluar pergi sekolah naik bas mini nombor 25 (memula warna biru, pastu bas mini diseragamkan jadi warna pink), turun kat Majestic, Pudu. Pastu kene jalan kaki jauh wooo.. dah la gelap lagi, lalu tempat setinggan, pastu byk anjing, pastu ada drug addicts pulak..bahaya. Tapi itu la yang dilalui sehari2.. Alhamdulillah masuk gak U hasil dari bejalan teruk2 ke sekolah untuk menimba ilmu. hehe..
Tapi sekarang sekolah tu betul2 tepi jalan kat fly-over bulatan kg.pandan menghala ke bukit bintang tu. sebab semua rumah area situ kene roboh masa diorang nak buat jalan tu.
Ok. Lepas tu.. jumpa lagi harta yang sangat berharga jugak. Ni harta yang wujud pada zaman sekolah menengah. Tahun 1999. Cuti sekolah hujung tingkatan 2 nak masuk tingkatan 3.
Jeng jeng jeng…………..

Surat surat cinta dari kekasih hati ku.. Miss Nurbaiti Hanim, ya’ll!!!

Tau x kami sama-sama duduk Kampung Pandan, berkongsikan poskod yang sama?

Tau x klau naik bas dari rumah ke rumah dia hanya lepas beberapa bus-stop sahaja?

Tau x klau naik basikal pegi rumah die x sempat nak penat pun?

Tapi memang gatal kan saja nak tulis2 surat, siap pos lagi. Haha. Sekarang mane ade wehh…

    

See she wrote my name as Mrs Julia Kavanagh. X paham kenapa? Read this!! hehehe

Tengok lah. Siap tulis surat guna exam pad sekolah lagi. Semangat SABian betul girlfriend I sorang ni kan3. ;p  

“Hanim Skywalker” LOL!! Masa ni tengah hangat pasal Star Wars Episode I : the Phantom Menace

And lepas tu jumpa benda ni pulak. Benda ni si Siti Marian, ex roomate kat Kolej Matrikulasi Kuala Pilah (KMNS) yang buat kan. Budak tu sgt kreatif dan sangat rajin la nak buat benda2 macam ni. Yang best nye masa masuk bilik tu, xtau dia pun suka Powerpuff Girl. Then, kitorg found out yang kitorg same2 gila PPG, and kebetulan dia sgt suka Buttercup, while me..ehem ehem.. of course la Bubbles. hehe So kitorg berdua ‘memberikan’ Blossom kepada our 3rd roomate, Nurul Amirah. Kami tinggal bertiga di bilik 4 orang itu. ;) I miss you both Yam and Nurul!!!!

if u’re still wondering where the bubbles in “bubbles182” came from. ;)

p/s: Ye. Saya secara rasmi nya dah sedar yang saya dah tua (sikit) berbanding tahun2 yang lalu. Hahaha still in denial xnak mengaku dah tua betul ;p
