Ladang Kambing Pakcu ku

During the Hari Raya Aidil Adha 10 Zulhijjah 1430 Hijrah (27 Nov 2009), my family and I went home to our nenek's house (nenek = grandmother) in Sungai Burong near Tanjung Karang, Selangor. Alhamdulillah it was an enjoyable holiday as usual. My uncle (whom I called Pakcu, was there too with his family).

Pakcu has a "Ladang kambing" there (goat farm... I guess). He sells them for between RM400 to RM1000 per goat. I wanted to buy one as my kids been asking for a pet goat. But Alhamdulillah, during this special festive season, my Pakcu gave us one female white goat for free. The kids love it. Looking forward to balik kampung again soon... to visit grandma and our pet goat. There are not many people I know who has a goat for pet.

Thank you Pakcu (Mohd Yatim bin Shamsuri) for the special gift. Semoga murah rezeki selalu hendaknya, InsyaAllah.

Bukit Fraser

In the late 1890, a solitary middle-aged adventurer, Louis James Fraser, was seen trudging along beaten jungle path connecting Tras and Kuala Kubu, hauling a team of mules laden with crude tin ore.

In 1917, a friend Bishop C.J Fergusan-Davie of Singapore and another, Reverand A.B Champion of Selangor went on a holiday ramble in the hills on the border of Pahang and Selangor and at the same time to look for the missing Fraser. However, the eluding Scotsman was never found but instead the two clergymen found that within 5 miles of Gap, on the main trunk road between Pahang and Selangor, there was an area which seemed eminently suitable for a hill station and which can be rapidly, easily and cheaply developed.

Coincided with a popular longing for hill station in Malaya in those days due to an increase in the European population in South-east Asia, the British Colonial Office in Singapore was indeed very impressed with the Bishop’s report and recommendations. A substantial allocation was immediately approved to open up Bukit Fraser. Earlier however, there was a tentative plan to open up Gunung Tahan but the project was later abandoned due to enormous costs in laying the railway tracks and furthermore, the northern part of the mountain range lie in the state of Kelantan, which was not part of the federated Malay state.

Sir George Maxwell, the British High Commissioner, wrote in 1925 that Fraser’s Hill would always be the most exquisite and most dainty hill station in Malaya and in a few years to come will see great development of the enterprise in building bungalow there.

Today, eight decades later, Fraser’s Hill is a thriving little highland resorts, perched majestically some 1500 m, on the Titiwangsa Range, with progressive development and yet able to maintain the ambience of its nostalgic pasts. Cool throughout the year with an average temperature of 21 degrees C to 23 degrees C, the attraction of Fraser’s Hill as a tourist destination has not diminish after all these years.

Reference: Shahzan Inn Fraser’s Hill Visitors Info. Thank you Shahzan Inn.

We stayed in Shahzan Inn from 22-25 November 2009. This was our second visit to Fraser’s Hill this year only (2009). Bukit Fraser is our favourite family resort place.

Sistem Xplorasi

1. Xplorasi adalah sebuah sistem yang dapat membantu anda membuat perancangan kerjaya anda. Sama ada anda seorang pelajar, pencari kerja atau ingin menukar kerjaya, malah majikan juga boleh menggunakannya dan mendapat faedah. Kaunselor, para guru dan ibu bapa turut menerima manfaat dari sistem ini dalam usaha membantu mereka yang ingin membuat perancangan, pilihan serta keputusan yang berkaitan kerjaya.

2. Xplorasi dikira sebuah sistem bantu sendiri yang agak komprehensif kerana ia mengandungi semua unsur penting dalam membuat perancangan kerjaya dengan menyediakan:
a. ujian minta untuk mengenali minat sendiri secara interaktif
b. keputusan ujian yang boleh diperolehi serta-merta
c. maklumat yang berkaitan dengan keterangan minat iaitu tafsiran keputusan ujian juga boleh diperolehi serta-merta
d. Senarai nama pekerjaan yang sesuai dengan minat sendiri juga disediakan.

3. Sistem xplorasi telah dibangunkan oleh sekumpulan penyelidik pakar dalam bidang berkaitan yang diketuai oleh Prof Datin Dr. Amla Hj. Mohd. Salleh dari Fakulti Pendidikan Universiti Kebangsaan Malysia. Sistem ini telah diuji dalam beberapa penyelidikan yang ditaja oleh pihak Kementerian Sains Teknologi dan Universiti Kebangsaan di bawah projek IRPA, Science Fund dan Projek penyelidikan Fakulti pendidikan UKM.

4. Kajian-kajian yang dijalankan antara tahun 2002-2007 membuktikan xplorasi telah dapat membantu peserta membuat keputusan kerjaya yang lebih baik, meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang diri dan kerjaya, malah ia juga telah dibuktikan berjaya meningkatkan motivasi pelajar-pelajar terutama mereka yang dikatakan kurang berminat untuk belajar.

5. Xplorasi ini dibangunkan berasaskan sebuah teori kerjaya yang kukuh dan popular (Holland ,1973) yang telah dibuktikan berguna dalam berpuluh-puluh buah negara di dunia dengan beratus-raus kajian yang menyokongnya. Mereka yang ingin memahami latar belakang sistem ini boleh membaca teori yang berkaitan. Mereka yang berminat untuk memahami lebih lanjut lagi latar belakang sistem ini klik ASAS XPLORASI.

Keanggotaan Projek Xplorasi adalah terdiri daripada:

· Datin Prof Dr Amla bin Hj Salleh (Ketua Projek)
