Assalamualaikum... n' greetingz to evry1~ ;)

2day, I would jez like to announce a few thingz up n' some summary about wat we have been dOin' in d past 2 weeks, hehe... (perhaps a kind of reminderz for us n' 2 keep track on our watever-doingz on diz 7th sems, okie?)

but b4 dat, I would oso kindly like to remind to all muslims out der not to 4get to "menghidupkan & membesarkan" 2day's hoLy day:

"Nisfu Syaaban"

whether it is via fastin', reciting da Holy Qur'an and so on, as diz day only comes once a year =)... n' also for ur's convenience I also provide a link here for those who wants to know further about "Nisfu Sya'ban" (malam diangkatkan amalan untuk setahun)... =)


Rytt~ Now we'll proceed to the "Summary of Week 1 & 2";

[ PS 4217 ] :

[1] Lecture 1 - "Nature of Science" + Scheme of Work

[2] Lecture 2 - "Scientific Attitudes" (?? nOt rily sure on diz 1, ehe~)

[3] Finding Partners/Groups for the Peers Teaching Practice (PTP) + the associated Science Topics (SPN21)

[ PS 4218 ] :

This depends upon da group assigned 2 everyone (n' I myself in Group A; mentored by the evergreen Dr Harkirat =D...)

[1] Lecture 1 - "The Constructivist Paradigm..."

[2] Lecture 2 - "The 5E Model of Science Teaching"

Notes: For the second group, i.e. Group B (Dr Quintus), i might jez need sumbody to kindly give some infos n' the latest news in their group, k?... (klw bulihh lah~ no forcing~ ;D)

okie~ Kas signin' off ~~~ have a nice weekend! =)) (jan lupa Nisfu Syaaban!)

888... Lucky Numbers?

kOnbawaa~ minna saan~ (gud night every1~)

Well, it'z kinda late but it riLy enticing me to talk about 2day's special date; 08/08/08... To chinese community diz is especially so, but what'z d very reason for them to treat such number as a lucky one?? Why d Olympic in Beijing officially opened at 2day's date, etcetera...

So as curious as ever, I try googling to find more about this so called "Lucky Numbers" n' sOmehow I stumble into diz site:

http://www.onlinechineseastrology.com/content-detail.aspx?ID=108

Wat do I find?? Well, interestingly it's da matter of their pronounciation which means "prosperity" n' it is also something to do with some kind of balance..It says dat "the date 08/08/08 will be especially lucky for Rats, Monkeys and Dragons"... "It just so happens that the Rats, Monkeys and Dragons are in the same affinity group or trine"..

Den, somebody try 2 ridicule things up by saying "How can a monkey(1980) take advantage of this lucky day?" Lolz~ haha! dat rily put a smirky grin to my face~ =D

Da morale? heh, well~ do not keep on clickin' ur "mouse" now if u have class 2moro! its olredi late, no? hehe~

Orytt guyz, I nevertheless want 2 wish da prosperity n' everlasting wedding for those couples who'r doing their nuptials 2day n' also everyone who read diz...CHeeRz! ;D
