just jot something...

Today I saw news for STPM classes (Form 6). The ministry said that they are going to opt for University teaching approaches for sixth form students, which is lecturing and tutorials. To me, is this new? Isn’t it Form 6 = Lecturing already in the first place? Tutorials are really new; I don’t deny that. However, they said that they are going to implement that some of teaching stuffs in the school will only be responsible for STPM classes. I do think that this is good news for current and forthcoming STPM students. Just that the quality of the “lecturing teams” need to be upgraded first so that the graduates can be as competence as the private institutions graduates from the similar programmes.
Now, for those who like to read Chinese novels; I want to introduce a publisher: Odonata Publishing, a local publisher who had produced 6 novels from 2 local writers. I had bought 5 of them and already read 3 of them. I feel quite impressive with it. Didn’t expect that our local writers do can produce quality prose. However, I like the story written by the female writer more as it is more imaginative while the male writer one seems more realistic. Enjoy the power of reading!
With the warning of the crude oil prices to strike 250USD per barrel, the world is really in a hard condition. 140USD per barrel is a terrifying situation already, what more to say 250USD per barrel! Just need tom pray this is no true!
That’s all, bye for now!
