New laptop

Behold, my new laptop and guess what I did not even spend one cent. I received an e-mail regarding my appointment as Deputy Community of Practice (COP) for the subject Maths and therefore like the COP leader is given a laptop. What's COP? This is a new project organised by MOE and the vendor, Avantwerx, Singapore. The project involves creating a Knowledge Management System Portal under three categories, Exam tips, Events Management and Crisis Management. Our COP falls under Exam tips. The teachers who were appointed as COP members will be contributing and uploading any exam-related information to the portal. The laptop they said is to motivate us to do this task. Well I'm more than motivated hehe. Ok in my last post, I talked about my laptop being in a bad shape and it is quite the right time for the laptop to arrive. I even tempted to go for the Macbook Pro which cost around $3.5k and that saves me lot. The laptop is a Fujitsu Lifebook C1410, Intel Centrino Duo Core, 512mb RAM, 80gb SATA, DVD-RW, quite good specs for present needs. Overall I have 3 pcs, 2 laptops and 1 desktop in my abundance.

No Post

Apologies for the absent for the past few weeks. My laptop's HDD again let me down, this time my new HDD which I replaced in late December. I had been working on important stuff on that HDD and hopefully I can recover it.

On a positive note, I have acquired my own web server with a whopping 400gb and a domain name, www.zadm.net. I will link this blog with my new website and set up a flash-based photo gallery for everyone's viewing.

Kendo Demo at SMPAPHM

The demo marked the beginning of the CCA activities which will start next Wednesday. This is the second time I have seen such demo, the first one was during my PGCE at UBD two years ago in the P.E class. It was organised by the Brunei Kendo Society as part of promoting this sport in schools, currently my school will have it first Kendo club organised by Cikgu Erma, the senior member of the society. You can check their website at http://bruneikendo.blogspot.com. Kendo is another form of martial art from Japan, originated in 13th Century. Its like the Japanese version of Fencing except that the sword use is made up of bamboo and Kendo use more protective armor for the body, wrist and armor. Check out more about Kendo here. To those who are interested, the application is open to everyone, no need to worry about the gears, you can come with normal sports attire and great enthusiasm, as they stated that in the website.

For more pics, view it on my Flickr gallery.

Ridha and Jenny Akad Nikah

Today I had the privilege to cover the Akad Nikah ceremony of a friend of mine, Ridha who tied the knot with one of Brunei's prominent voice and face in the media industry, Jenny Malai Ali. We went a long way back. I knew him since we were the same batch who joined the teaching force back in 2003. His brother was also my ex-classmate in SOAS. Congratulations Ridha and Jenny!! Here are some pics:
