A very good friend of mine, Michael (i.e., Prof Dr Michael James Wester...who was also one of my phd supervisors (Computer Algebra) from the University of New Mexico (UNM), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA) had recently came across with the animal (shown above) while taking his usual morning walk near his house. He took the animal's picture and sent it to me...☺️

So I decided to send this picture to my friends in Malaysia and asked them : "Binatang apa ni?...cuba teka"😊. The feedback i got was devastating😂 : ...some sort like a monkey, ...from cat species,...maybe from bear species like koala bear or sloth?...clueless...etc.🤣

What do you think...binatang apa ni?🤔

Cuba la teka apa?😀

*** Michael at the moment is busy on his research in physics (microscopy) based and biological analysis / modeling (both related to computer algebra). He seems to be involved in lots of papers that never get finished (...being a researcher requires a lot of patience with one's coauthors....🤣😂).

All the best Michael !!!🤗

I-PHYS 2.0

Salam semua,

Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk meningkatkan Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (KBAT) (pemikiran kritis) dengan menggunakan pakej simbolik (dinamakan sebagai i-phys 2.0) yang diintegrasi dengan teknologi Sistem Algebra Komputer (SAK) melalui Kaedah Pembelajaran Berasaskan Masalah (KPBM). Fokus bidang pembelajaran i-phys 2.0 ialah fizik (Daya dan Gerakan) untuk pelajar tingkatan 4 di Malaysia.

Reka bentuk pembangunan i-phys 2.0 adalah berdasarkan konsep pedagogi SAK iaitu interaktiviti, visualisasi, eksperimentasi, teknik langkah demi langkah, kepelbagaian perwakilan dan prinsip kotak putih/kotak hitam. Model pembelajaran yang digunakan untuk membangun i-phys 2.0 ialah Taksonomi Bloom. Reka bentuk i-phys 2.0 adalah berasaskan web yang mana pembelajaran boleh dilakukan secara atas talian.

Kaedah Pembelajaran Berasaskan Masalah (KPBM) juga diaplikasi dengan menggunakan i-phys 2.0 melalui gerak kerja secara berpasukan untuk mengasah kebolehan pelajar mengkritik sesuatu pendapat, mengemuka idea yang bernas dan memberi cadangan yang relevan dalam menyelesai masalah. Ini ialah kerana kehendak pasaran masa kini bukan sahaja memerlukan pekerja yang memiliki kelulusan akedemik cemerlang tetapi memiliki kemahiran generik seperti mampu berfikir secara kritis, berupaya menyelesai masalah secara berpasukan, sentiasa berfikiran positif dan memiliki ciri-ciri kepimpinan.

Penguasaan numerasi dan literasi saintifik melalui penggunaan i-phys 2.0 menyediakan asas kukuh untuk membangun pelbagai kemahiran dalam kehidupan pelajar bagi merebut peluang dalam dunia pekerjaan terutamanya bidang berkaitan dengan STEM. I-phys2.0 juga bertujuan memupuk perasaan keyakinan dalam diri pelajar untuk seronok belajar dan mengekalkan keinginan yang kuat untuk terus belajar terutamanya dalam dunia pekerjaan.

Pengujian kebolehgunaan i-phys 2.0 dijalankan berdasar kepada atribut keberkesanan, kebolehbelajaran dan kepuasan. Setiap atribut kebolehgunaan ini mengandungi kriteria kebolehgunaan iaitu ciri-ciri konsep pedagogi SAK. I-phys 2.0 merupakan kesinambungan dan peningkatan terhadap i-phys yang dibina oleh Hazlina (2014).

TOWARDS A BETTER MALAYSIA...🙂

Salam to all,

My late father used to speak very highly of YBM Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah...how much he admired his charisma, intelligence, down to earth attitude, etc... YBM Tengku was at that time the finance minister of Malaysia.

But as for me...I still remember when I was in my primary school at SRJK Bukit Kuda Kelang...my teacher was fond of asking us the name of our current ministers😀. She would tell us to stand on our chairs and started to call our names...one by one...and ask...for example: What is the name of our minister of education and spell the name correctly😯? And those able to answer correctly (with the correct spelling, of course) were allowed to sit down.

The "spelling" stuff that got myself into trouble🤪...I couldn't seem to be able to remember the correct spelling of YBM Tengku's name (our finance minister at that time)...I got confused...was it razaleigh or razaliegh or just simply razali🤔...I said to myself: "susahnya nak eja nama dia...😥". As a result most of the time I was among the last to sit down😂🤣😅.

I notice that YBM Tengku is a man with principles..."everything" must follow the law and absolutely no one is above the law. And if you were elected by the rakyat...so please be brave enough to voice out your true feeling (i.e., follow your conscience (mata hati)😊) to defend the rakyat well being, etc.

His dream for a better Malaysia...like "telus", "adil" and "corruption zero" need to be supported by all Malaysians....♥️🤗...👍

*** An example of elected representatives by the rakyat 🤣😂😅...🤪 :

PEOPLE'S PRINCESSS

Salam to all,

1981...My sister, Yahani came back to Malaysia from the United Kingdom (UK) for summer holiday and she brought with her a book (she was at that time studying at the University of Liverpool, England, UK and...😂😅...I was studying at the Sekolah Seri Puteri (SSP), Kuala Lumpur...) She gave me the book and said: "Nah!". I was curious and so I picked it up...and I went like: "Cantiknye...Sape ni?". My sister said: "Princess Diana". The book was full with the pictures of Princess Diana before, during and after her wedding to Prince Charles...that was how I got to know her...🤗

Through the years I didn't pay much attention to her...except I notice that she was some how different from other british royalties...coz she was some how...more down to earth...if you know what I mean...😊...(like YBM Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah...he was not so "skema" after all...🤣😅😂...sorry YBM Tengku...just kidding🙏...😊)

I also notice wherever she went she drove crowd together to greet her. She was gentle with kids (with cancer, aids, etc.), kind to the poor, assist charity and humanatarian work, etc...I don't think she fabricated all the good stuff she had shown...but purely from her heart...coz people could sense the fabulous aura she inseminated...In other words...she was truly the "People's Princess"🌹🤗

When she died in 1997 in a tragic car accident in Paris...I felt so sad...all the good work done was for nothing😪...coz Allah swt says in the Quran, Surah Al-Kahfi (103-105):

"Katakanlah: "Apakah akan Kami (Allah) beritahu kepadamu tentang orang-orang yang paling rugi perbuatan mereka?"

"Iaitu orang-orang yang telah mensia-siakan perbuatan mereka dalam kehidupan dunia ini, sedangkan mereka menyangka mereka berbuat sebaik-baiknya."

"Mereka itu ialah orang-orang yang kufur terhadap ayat-ayat tuhan mereka dan perjumpaan dengan Dia (Allah), maka hapuslah amalan-amalan mereka, dan Kami (Allah) tidak mengadakan suatu penilaian untuk (amalan) mereka pada hari kiamat."

*** 😭😪...teringat lak kat Prof Steinberg dan Michael...semoga Allah swt mengurniakan mereka hidayah untuk menerima Islam....💚

Ameen yra🤲...
