I've been a while since my last post. I had a problem with the internet connection before so I have not posted anything new since then. Today is our second day of fasting. I hope you'll be energetic to learn and not use it as an excuse. May this Ramadhan brings us all the blessings from Allah S.W.T. Have a great Ramadhan spirit. Ki-o-tsukete (Take care).

One fine sunny day

I was driving somewhere in Dungun one fine day. When I stopped at the traffic light, I saw this occasional scenery. Regretted if I missed it, I snapped some shots of this cool bike with its biker :)

Help Our Mother Earth

It has concerned many people from different walks of life regarding the global warming issue. You might say that you can't do anything about that. However, you can do many things to help our 'home'. The least you can do is to recycle and take care of the environment.

You can reuse things like your lotion and shower cream bottles, use both sides of the papers and don’t buy instant coffee because they are sold in individual packets. I drink too much coffee. My trash can will be filled with empty packets of instant coffee by 5pm. Therefore, I only drink can coffees (I believe you're aware of that as I always drink one before the class starts).

I can keep the cans and all the bottles of my mineral and drinking waters. I don't simply throw them in the dustbin, but I send them to the recycling centre. Some of the recycling centres even pay you if you send your cans and bottles to them. I bet you can get extra pocket money if you carry this responsibility.

I use Body Shop products, which are not tested on animals. Even my toiletries and shopping bags are biodegradable. I believe that by using all of these products, at least I contribute something to lessen the damage that we 'unconciously' (or should I say we 'purposely) do to the animals and our environment.

Many of us set dry leaves on fire. We don't want to waste our money, time and energy bury the leaves or do something with them so they can decompose naturally. I cringe at the sight of people littering out of the car windows or even they ride their bike. It pisses me off but those are simply things that they are used to.

I will keep my food wrappers, even my can drinks in my bags first before I throw them. I segregate all the unwanted things so I know which one to be disposed and to be recycled. I really hope you can also start with this habit.

It breaks my heart when I see the image of people killing the sea lions, tigers, leopards and elephants heartlessly without mercy. It is just so sad. That is why change is crucial. We need to change the way we live and think about the environment.

The Artic is melting as you are reading this. Recycle and think of the environment. It is the only way to go. I hope you can do your part of the job to save our lovely mother earth. Please remember that each and every little thing that we do (good or bad) will add up, so start reuse things, and don't buy any products that are animal tested.

Be Thankful with What You Have

This is the story that you created (HMD 1HA/B)...

This is the story that I asked you to continue in our previous meeting. I have to make some amendments especially on the grammatical part. Enjoy it!

She pointed the gun at my head and said, "How could you!"...

What did I do? I did nothing!
Why did you say you did nothing? You stole my purse!
No, I didn't steal your purse! Don't blame me
I don't believe you! I saw you stole it!
I didn't steal your purse! Can you prove it to me?
You want the prove? I saw you holding my purse!
That's not your purse. It's mine!
Really? Are you sure? That's my purse because it's so beautiful.
You're wrong. That's my purse. If you want one, you should buy on your own.
I don't have enough money, so I stole your purse.
So it's not your purse. Why you want to shoot me?
I'm just kidding. I want to give you a treat at Dungun Kopitiam.
Hey, wait! I saw a handsome guy behind you. He's our classmate. He's calling you.
I don't care what did you say because I want to shoot your head!
How could you this to me? We're friends!
I don't want to be your friend anymore. I feel like shooting you now.
Are you crazy? I want to take you to Tanjung Rambutan!
You want to take me to Tanjung Rambutan? You go there first!
Why must I go there? I'm no the one who's crazy.
I don't think so. Why don't we go to the playground and play the monkey bar?
I don't want to play the monkey bar because I'm not a child. We must settle this first!
I though we've settled this matter. That's the reason why I invited you to play at this playground.
No, we haven't settled this matter. I'm not satisfied with you!
I want to go home. I miss my mum so much
I don't care about you and your mum. Just return my purse and you can go back to your house!
If you want me to return back your purse, you must buy me a Cadbury Milk Chocolate.
Please buy on your own. I don't have enough money.
If you don't want to but me a chocolate, you must return back my purse.
I don't care! I want to shoot you now!
Bang! Bang!

I Wonder

Why do people say god bless you when you sneeze?

In medieval times they believed that when someone sneezed, the body was expelling demons. By saying “god bless you”, they were hoping to guard against the evil spirits entering the body again

Choices..Choices

If you had to be stuck in an elevator for 2 days with someone, who would it be and why?

Come on guys! I want to know your answer!
