THE ONES WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE

I took tis quiz from Nightingale's blog.Wrote MY answers below each ques.

1. Name the 5 wealthiest people in the world.
The Sultan of Brunei,Bill Gates.....duno the rest...=P
2. Name the last five Olympic gold medalists.
No idea.Not a fan of sports even tho my dad's a national athelete....
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss Universe Contest.
Sushmita Sem,Diana Hayden,i think.....
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
I knw 2 scientist won it a few months bck fer discoverin tat gastric is caused by bacteria...am i right?
5. Name the last half dozen Oscar Award winners for best actor & best actress.
Halle Berry?.....5 more duno...

How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one.

1. List a few teachers who added your journey through school.
Mrs.Tan,Pn.Rahsia,Mr.Harry Tan,Mrs.Lim Sioung Yau,Miss Quek,Mrs.Raja...
2. Name 3 friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
Janice,Peters,Chern Ling
3. Name 5 people who have taught you something worhtwhile.
Ramesh,Peters,Tini,.....
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
Ramesh,My family,my frens....
5. Think of 5 people you enjoy spending time with.
Ramesh,My family,my cousins,Tini,Su,Janice,Peters,Abs,Lin,Deepa,Preesha,and the list goes on.....

Easier isn't it? This just shows that the people who make a difference in our life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Share this to those people who have made a difference in your life.

Hepy New Year!

Generasi baru Felda at Mayang Campus

As u all know,im a lecturer at Limkokwing University College based in their Pj campus...This was their 1st college venue n was closed after they opened up in Cyberjaya...

Their Pj campus was opened up again in July this year fer da Felda programme-Generasi Baru...we have 475 students to date wen the semester closed last month....

The students registered on 26th July 2005 n we had onli bout 140+ students who registered wit us on tat day....

The number grew to 475(minus those who quit)after sum time as most of the students were studying n wrkin elsewher b4 they enrolled into this prog....

I am teaching Creative & Innovation studies with 2 other lecturers,Abs n also Irwan...Am teaching 4 clsses wit a total of about 200 students...

Think im gona teach da same subj again next sem fer da new batch of students....not tat im complainin of coz as tis subj is interesting n fun....:)

The new batch is scheduled to enroll on Jan 16th 2006 with an estimated of 1000 students...

The returning students for Semester 2 in in Feb.....

Below is an article taken frm the LUCT website:

Limkokwing is the chosen training ground for children of Felda settlers in the government’s RM10 million plan to provide them with new skills in creative multimedia, fashion and interior design, and broadcasting.

The government hopes the 481 students who make up Generasi Baru, will ultimately take the Federal Land Development Authority to a new level in eradicating poverty and transforming the rural economic landscape.

The Felda students’ presence at Limkokwing is in line with the Prime Minister’s vision to innovate the rural economy.

Deputy Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak launched the ‘Creativity and Innovation for Felda’s New Generation’ programme at the Limkokwing campus recently.

“The challenge is to become part of the national economy, so that one day the children of Felda settlers will be making software programmes for HSBC, animated movies for Hollywood, or become owners of world-class brand.”

Limkokwing President Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing pointed out that the end-goal was to enhance their employability beyond what was on offer at Felda schemes.

“We hope to expose them to our culture of lifelong learning, knowledge mining and creative development so they can improve their marketability as human capital for the new global environment.

here is a picture taken by me wen the deputy prime Minister,dato Seri Najib visited the Generasi Baru students...


N here is a snapshot of me along with one of my classes,Foundation 5....


Shall upload more piccies of me n my students....

Attitude

















Blessings: just a thought.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.

If you can read this page, furthermore, you are more blessed than the third of the world - over two billion people - that cannot read at all.
