The start versus the end of semester 1



The first day when i step my foot on Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech Mara, I was a bit concerned  about the environment and the teaching value of the college. That's the feeling I had when I enter the college. Now, after staying here for almost 4 months , I am now comfortable with the environment of the college. Boy, it was a different feeling compared to the early semester. Now, the final exam is just around the corner. Let me take this opportunity to share my story and experience during my stay in this first very semester. What have I  done in the last four months?

During the early days of my first semester, I was a bit shy when my first night at the college dorm. It was located at Sri Pandan Condominium near Hospital Ampang. I was encountered by a guy who turns out to be my roommate. He's from Penang. He is nice but a bit confusing to understand him due to his weird slangs that I find quite hard to understand but as time goes on, I can fully understand him. Although I could understand him, I laughed because of his voice. He is the first guy that I met and befriended him but compared to my other housemate, some a bit shy, arrogant, annoying and sometimes weird of all of sudden. That faithful night, we started to know each other so that we get to know better. After that jazz, my housemate still feel a bit like that. Well that's my housemate. Now, my classmate, they're same goes to my housemate's from top to bottom but in the long run our relationship and friendship remain close until this day. Even there's the uncertain type of people that i don't like in social circles but i still remain friends with them. 

The sad news is that the closer the end of the semester , the more of my friends are leaving to study else where. Most of them got Politeknik and Uitm. Its actually a good news for them to study at government institution but at the same time is sad for all of us because they are leaving us for the sake of their studies. The friends that i have during the semester now their are leaving us and is not even final yet. The feeling of losing your friends is hard and painful because the things we do together and spend time together. The things we do now will now be our cherish moment together and remember it until we die. We make a promise for those who are leaving that we will meet again one day and never lose contact with each other. Friends until the end. We wish them good luck on their studies and the coming future.

Lastly, i have great time studying here not just to seek education but also meeting new people and making new friendship along the way.

A movie i would recommend to my lecturer

Movie is a story or event recorded by a camera as a set of moving images and shown in a theater or on television. Watching movies is a great way to fill our past time. Movies has a lot selection of genre for the watchers to choose from. A wide selection from horror to romantic to comedy. So for today's blog i will be writing about a movie that i would recommend to lecture. The movie that would pick is a movies titled "Finding Nemo".


Finding Nemo is a 2003 American animated film produced by Pixar Animations Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking this movie is a bit childish towards to the mature audience but aim to younger viewers. But its alright to watch this movie. The movie is about two clown fish who live at a middle of the deep sea floor. The two clown fish named Marlin which is the father to Nemo ( his only son ). The movie begins with Marlin and his wife named  Coral had a conversation about their home and their egg's. At the moment, a Barracuda suddenly attacks the clown fish's home and knocking out Marlin in the process. When Marlin gain back conscious, he finds out that his home was empty and all of the eggs was missing including Carol. This make the viewers know that his wife and his egg's was eaten by the predator. In despair, Marlin salvage what he could at his home but only manage to find an egg with scar on the side of the shell. Marlin then comfort the egg and named it Nemo and promise him that nothing is gonna happen to him. This make an emotional outburst between viewers and the characters that can relate one in another.

This movie also fill with many moral values such as always listen to your parents. The movie is trying to a send a message to viewer that listen and obey your. Parents may be a pain in front of your friends because their to concerns about you and shower you with embarrassment but in reality their trying to keep you safe from harm. Like an example, when Nemo's school trip, Marlin was holding his hand the hold time and nag about something. This make Nemo's embarrass during arrival at school trip. Marlin doing this because concerns of his son safety.

Secondly, the movie also shows a clear pictures of the importance of friendship. Friendship plays a big role in the entire movie. Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. Meaning that you have a bond with someone. Like an example, when Marlin met Dory for the first time, Marlin wasn't to keen with Dory but at the end Marlin accepts who she is even though she is crazy. The point of friendship showed when Marlin was having a breakdown because he lost hope of finding his son and plan to go back home but Dory comfort him by remembering the events that she can't remember.

In conclusion, these is the movie that i would recommend to lecturer because the movie is suitable for all ages and includes all the comedy and drama also provides some moral value to the viewers so that can learn it and evaluate and try to apply it in their everyday life.

Reflection On My Role-Play


Assalamualaikum everyone, last week my team and I have a role play about school, so this time I will discuss about reflection on my role play. Role-Playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role. There are many reflection on my  role-play which is what I think of my role-play, what can I do to improve my role-play and in what way I think that the role-play could help me in speaking English.

First of all, I think that my role play is quiet awkward and too depends on script. Standing in front of many people makes me very nervous,  it's like I'm doing a bad things in front of them and they stare at me with full of curiosity thinking what I'm going to be. When my role-play starts, I'm just to depends on script and the intonation just like I,m reading a book and then the message that I say not delivered to the audience correctly.

Secondly, I think I can improve my role-play by trying to standing in front of many people oftenly and try to understand more the character. With standing in front of many people oftenly makes my awkward feeling decreases and be more confident, then my role-play can be improve. Understand the character also can improve my role-play because we know what role that we play and feel more into the character, with this we can role it well.

Last but not least, the way that I think that the role-play could help me in speaking English because role-play we need to speak well and develops communication and language skills. Role-play we need to speak well to make the audience understand the situation that we play. Speaking in English develops me to practice communicate with my friend and practice my grammar to the better.

As a conclusion, there are many reflection on my role-play which is what way I think that the role-play could help me speaking in English, what can I do to improve my role-play and what I think of my role-play. To me, role-play is the way of learning English by trying to improve our own English to be a good communicate and improve our grammar to the better.

My thoughts on early marriage.

The meaning of marriage is when is when a man and a women pronounce as husband and wife. That time , both time make a vow to be as legal couple in their life. That's the definition of marriage. For today's blog i will be discussing my thoughts on early marriage.



Many boys and girls of today are taking their relationship very seriously because their to in love each other and can't let go of their relationship so much, their just better off marry at a very young age. For some, maybe it's good for them for their to marry early but for me it's just isn't right. The reason are that, the couples maybe not have a stable financial background. You think marriages are free?. No,you're wrong my friend. Any marriages requires many to carry out the wedding expenses such wedding rings, the wedding ceremony , the party gifts, the cakes and buffet and much more. Who's gonna pay all of it?. Your parents?. If you come from family of means, yes you could but chances are that the couples have to pay for themselves. In order to do that, that have to work first and save a lot a money for their marriage. Their is a saying " there's not such things as free lunch". This one of the reasons of couples having trouble right now because their not have a very good financial background. Usually couples marry at a very age such marry after finish their secondary school without continue their studies will cause them some serious trouble. Without jobs or money, how you wanna get marry?. The solution for this problems is hoping on their parents. These are the most common  escape goat for them to overcome this problem because many of their parents are willing to pay their marriage maybe because their parents loves their children so much. Paying for their expenses without any helping effort from their children. This like a free marriage for them. This make me thinking of today's couple are not being independent for their marriage because their hoping their parents to make their dreams come true. For me, what's the point of marry someone but you still can't be independent.

But there are many benefits of early marriage. One of which, that you will learn to adapt and adjust in your life. Imagine marriage is just a big party. In a party, there always gonna something happy, good, full of laughs, great things and maybe there's gonna sadness, downfall, losing or much more. In marriage, you will learn this. How do i know?. Because i ask my parents. In marriage, you will experience many emotions in your life. If you face any trouble or obstacle or fail something, you can still fix it and adapt it so that you wont do it again. So learning from early age at a early marriage, will make you to adapt in your life and you can make some adjustments to fit in your suitable conditions so that in the coming future if you facing the same or greater problems, you already prepare to face it with past experiences so that you can overcome with ease.

The Social Media...





Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. Websites and applications dedicated to forums, micro blogging, social networking, social bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are among the different types of social media. I were required to write a blog post regarding whether I like or hate the social media. There are many good and bad things about the social media. It depends on us how we use it for good or bad things. For me I prefer to choose to like the social media.


I like the social media because I can get any information regarding the news in the local or the worldwide. Nowadays, all the information is at your fingertips. You can search all types of information did you want to know using the google application and your answer will be given. This is really helpful especially among student who have their assignment to do. Now, all the students have their assignment including secondary school and this application will guide them.

Then, the social media also can use for business. People can get together and seek potential jobs, get help completing tasks and get connected with new people through technology developments. Nowadays, all types of jobs require online application and we can get information or offer from the media social. We also can promote our trade goods on the social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Selling online is very easy, we just deal with the customer online without face to face contact and after their agreed, we just post the item to the customer place.

After that, Youtube also one of the social media. I'm always watch the youtube everyday to watch any of anime, cartoons, musical video and the current issue. Youtube also can provides about sport, education and tutorial. All the beginner can watch the youtube to learn and practice anything that they want to. Watching youtube can make me feel free from to get boring and killing time.

Social media is unique in itself as it has allowed millions of people get connected using internet in some of application. Social media really helpful and useful but it must be used properly, it help us to contact person from far far away. We must use this advantage as good as possible.

My Biggest Fear

Hello there, for today's blog i will writing about my biggest fear. Fear is actually an emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous that can cause a person pain or threat. Many people have something that afraid, even the bravest people from soldiers, teachers to little children they still have something that they will haunt them forever. So my biggest fear that i have right now is can't full fill the promises that i made with people. I have this fear since i was in primary school.

 

The story was when i was in primary school, a freshmen entering early stages of life. During that time i was foolish and dumb. I wasn't a smart student, always skipping classes , never score in my test and much more. I had ego that time thinks i above people. This obviously makes my parents unhappy with my attitude. First of all my parents advice me to stop with my arrogant attitude but i didn't listen. This make them very angry and started to scold me, yelling at me and many more. But one day my mother started crying and my father wasn't pleased . I heard them arguing about me in their bedroom and heard many things about how to find solution about my attitude. That time i started to realized that i have to change with my attitude. I don't want to see my parents unhappy especially mother. One day, i had a meeting with my parents to discuss about me. I told my parents that i made a promise with them i will change and be a better person and focus on my studies. My parents was very pleased that i aware of my mistake. So my parents was very happy with me. Then i started to study , work hard and keep practicing because that time almost close of the UPSR examination. I worked very hard and the first day of the examination i said to my parents i promise i will get 5 A's for the examination and their faces were very determined about me.

So i did my best during the period of the examination and after the last paper i was pleased and felt freedom. Fast forward the day of the result, i was eager to see my results and my mother follow me to school except my dad who was working that day. But once the results are in, I went to fetch my result and looked at it, i felt sad that time. I didn't score A's in any subject. I was scared to tell my mother but i told her anyway, she has that disappointment on her face and when my father got the news he also were not happy. My father said to me , that i have bring disappointment to them. I was crying and scared because i have not full fill the promise i made to them. It makes my heart sorrow and makes less confident to make decision in the coming future but with the support and love form my family, i can manage to overcome this problem.

If I were a fictional character, I would be a.......


If I get a chance to be a fictional character I would prefer to be Shinichi Kudo or known as Conan Edogawa from the anime Detective Conan. He was a young detective, intelligence, smart and full of skills to solve a case... That would be a murder case. He use a lot of sophisticated gadgets such as Voice-Changing Bowtie, Stun-Gun Wristwatch, Criminal Tracking Glasses and many cool stuff created by Professor Agasa. This gadgets specially designed for a detective user. That what makes me to be like Conan...
😎 😊

Whenever Conan and his foster family goes, there must be a murder case. When the detective needed, the police will ask for help from the professional detective that would be Conan's Uncle Kogoro Mouri. He such a dumb, arrogant and lack of skills to be a detective. With Conan helps, he becomes a famous detective that  because Conan is a kid that no one will trust him.. so he use Uncle Kogoro to solve the case. Conan will started his investigation as soon he found a clue about the murder and start to dismantling the case without wasting time to make sure the killer will not escaped.

Conan always get solve any cases no matter what depends how hard or easy the case..! But there a case that he can't solve until now that is The Kaito Kid case... Kaito Kid was a thief, he stole worthy things such as artifact, treasure, and valuable items but he didn't stole any single money. The police tracks him and never get captured and no one have seen his true face. He also a magician that can make a trick to disappeared. After he stole an item, he would get everyone knows that he is the one who stole the item and use some tricks to get escaped. Conan also fails to captured him nor know his true identity. The Kaito Kid is still mysterious case.. Why he stole ? How he stole ? No one knows..!!


Conan originally was a teenager that known as Shinichi Kudo the famous detective. There's one case that he spying a killer, and then he get captured. The killer makes him swallow a pill and then he fainted, that pill also makes him to be a kid. He was surprised after he woke up and he becomes a kid. He didn't want everyone knows about him then he pretend to be another person in that kid form that known as Conan Edogawa. He tells everyone that Shinichi was traveling around the world because he didn't want anyone search for him. But being a kid doesn't make his skill being a detective wasted, he continue become a detective as a kid.

That's why I want to be like Conan, he such an intelligence boy and full of skills. Even being a kid, he not waste his skills and continuing becoming a detective. Conan life is full of adventure that same like me as an adventure lover. Even though he only in the anime mangas, but the creator makes a good storyboard about Conan and the case with a great solution. That would be a perfect ending for an episode.
