5 Most Expensive International Schools In The Klang Valley

To ensure their children remain competitive in the increasingly borderless world, more and more Malaysian parents are opting for international and private education for their children. However, these schools do not come for cheap.

In 2012, the Malaysian government has eliminated the quota for Malaysian enrolment at international schools. Due to the quota and the lack of affordable options, only selected affluent Malaysians could afford to send their children to these schools previously.

The 2012 decision to remove the quota has opened the floodgates and more international schools are mushrooming all over the country. According to the latest data by the International School Consultancy Group (ISC), a UK-based organisation, there are currently 99 English-medium international schools in the country, with a total of 39,460 students.

The market has been growing at a rate of 19% per annum for the past five years, and it is showing no signs of stagnation.

Based on latest findings, 40% of the students in these premium schools are local Malaysians, 9% British, 6% South Korean and 4% American.

How expensive are these premium schools really? We have collated the top 5 most expensive international schools in the country and this is how much you will have to fork out to send your child to these schools from nursery all the way till graduation:

Tumis Air Bayam Merah

Kita hari-hari memang kena masak dan makan sayur. Tak kiralah apa-apa sayur pun kerana ia sebenarnya baik untuk kesihatan. 

Dulu kami tak berapa suka makan sayur..

Kalau mak masak sayur , kami kerap juga merungut.. terutamanya bila mak masak bening.. atau tumis air. Pasti bosan rasanya.. "macam lauk orang sakit aje.. " rungut kami setiap kali pulang sekolah di sajikan dengan sayur air...

Agar-agar Rintik Santan Pandan

Hari ni kami sediakan agar-agar sebagai pencuci mulut. Dah lama kami nak buat agar-agar ni.. tapi selalu aje terlupa. Hari ini dapatlah kami sampaikan hajat nak membuatnya.

Resepi agar-agar ini di kongsikan oleh Izah dari blog Izah Muffin Lover . Menurut Izah beliau dapat resepi ini dari buku Aneka Puding. Asalnya Agar-agar rintik santan, tapi bila dah di olah ianya menjadi agar-agar rintik pandan pula. Itulah yang buatkan kami teruja nak cuba sebab gabungan warna hitam dari gula merah dan hijau tu seakan menaikkan seri agar-agar ini.

Agar-agar ni sedap, lembut aje.. dan amat sesuailah kalau nak buat untuk rumah terbuka nanti. Cara dan kaedah membuatnya pun mudah aje.. Cuma lain kali bila kami buat untuk lapisan gula merah tu ita kena kurangkan gula merah dan tambahkan gula pasir sedikit. Sebab gula merah ni rasanya lain sikit.. kalau gula Melaka bagi kami ok lagi... gula merah ni dia ada rasa kelat-kelat sikit... Tapi terpulang pada citarasa masing-masing..

Air Asam dan Ikan Caru Bakar

Kita mulakan menu hari ini dengan ikan caru bakar yang di cicah bersama air asam yang power...

Ikan bakar ni sesekali makan dengan kuah lemak pekena pula dengan nasi hangat memang terangkat habis...

Kami sukakan kuah asam yang pedas gilerrr... barulah berpeluh-peluh makan.. tu yang syok sangat tu..

What Does Best Effort Mean In Broadband Service?

Fast Speed Internet

It never seems to end. Complaints about our broadband speed seem to be stacking up in all social media waves. Sometimes we’re surfing at top speed and other times we feel like throttling somebody’s neck when our surfing connection speed is throttled down.

Why are we having this problem? We complain to our service providers but we are still experiencing this problem from time to time. What is really going on?

Ok, remember when signing up for the broadband plan? Remember reading or coming across the words “best effort delivery”? Exactly. That’s why we’re in this scenario.

Our service providers try their best to deliver top speed as per mentioned in the package that we’ve signed up for.

However, best effort delivery of broadband service depends on factors such as modem capability, location, coverage, distance from communication towers and number of simultaneous users.

Pencuk, Jelatah, Acar timun nenas atau Acar Cuka, semuanya adalah sama....

Pencuk, Jelatah, Acar timun nenas atau acar cuka adalah nama bagi makanan yang sama. Mungkin lain daerah lain gelarannya. 

Kaedah membuat Acar cuka sangat mudah kerana ianya tidak perlu di masak. Acar cuka ni tak tahan lama, ia cepat rosak kerana timun dan nenas tu mudah berair dan membuatkan ia tidak tahan lama . Jika di buat untuk sekali makan sahaja dan bukan untuk di simpan berhari-hari di dalam peti ais.

Selain timun, nenas dan lobak, ada juga meletakkan kobos yang di hiris nipis. Tak kiralah kobis putih, atau kobis unggu.

Ada sesetengah orang menaburkan sedikit bijan yang telah di sangai atau kacang tanah yang telah di goreng dan di tumbuk.

Pencuk atau acar timun ini biasanya enak di makan bersama nasi minyak, nasi tomato, nasi bukhari, nasi beriani atau nasi-nasi yang sewaktu dengannya. lauk yang serasi bersamanya kebiasannya lauk ayam masak merah, memang sesuai sangan lah gandingan pasangan berdua ini.

7 Signs You Are Heading For Bankruptcy

Identifying the warning signs of an impending personal financial crisis is extremely important. Sometimes these signs may be the only thing keeping you from bankruptcy.

You may be headed into a serious debt problem if you’re seeing one or more of these signs:

1. Maxing out on your credit cards or charging more than you can pay off each month

The Malaysian Department of Insolvency stated that credit card debt made up 5% of all bankruptcy cases in Malaysia between 2005 and 2012. You can see other causes here.

It is important to ensure that you use credit cards prudently. The general rule of thumb is to use no more than 30% to 40% of your credit limit at any one time. This gives you flexibility in case of job loss, illness, divorce, or other threats to your income.
