READING ENTRY 4 (A14)

31 comments:

  1. Very good evening!
    Today while i was having lunch with my friend, we came across this news on Metro newspaper. The title was "Student was beaten by a teacher" and the picture showed the student's back full of the scars. I didn't really come across to the content but as we know it is a legal punishment last time in our parent's badge and now it is illegal wrong against the education law to do so. This is due to the psychology and some proofs nowadays people facing stress more than last time because competition between colleagues or jobs are greater. Thus, they tend to put their anger on somebody and between teacher and student is one of the case. I think that requirement for choosing teacher should have more condition and tests. This way is to prevent students become as their victim. If only if the students are really naughty, then the students should be punishment or talk to their parents. Then, this is a proper way to solve the matter out.

  2. Assalamualaikum.......

    Hi every one....

    Today I would like to share with you about one story that I just read. For me, this story make us realize the sacrifice and patient that our parents has done to to grow up their child.

    Hope you guys enjoy this story...

    An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
    The Father asked his Son, 'What is this?'
    The Son replied 'It is a crow'.
    After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, 'What is this?'
    The Son said 'Father, I have just now told you 'It's a crow'.
    After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, What is this?'
    At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. 'It's a crow, a crow'.
    A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, 'What is this?'
    This time the Son shouted at his Father, 'Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?'
    A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the
    following words were written in the diary :-
    'Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly
    each time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child'.
    While the little child asked him 23 times 'What is this', the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
    So..
    If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be onsiderate to your parents.From today say this aloud, 'I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.
    They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today'.
    Say a prayer to God, 'I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave.

    So touching right?

    This story is as an advise to my friends and I. Thankful to have someone to really love and taking care of us till we become what we are being right now. Always respect and be a good child to them.

    That's all....
    Thank you...

  3. Assalamualaikum and very good morning to all of you...

    Here, I want speak about friends.Friends are important in my life.Without friends,I feel my life is so lonely....

    How do you make a new friends???

    One thitng that makes being a human being so interesting is the fact that not one of us is exactly alike.We all have our own likes and dislikes,need and desires.We also have our own unique idea of what a friend is,what a friend does,and what a friend definitely does not do.

    What is define a friends???

    According to the Merraim-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary says that a friend is "one attached to another by affection or esteem".I'm sure you'll agree with that definition,but there is so much more to add to it if you want to find friends that you can have a long lasting,mutually beneficial,relationship with.


    My own definition of a friend is a female or male that I can talk to about anything at anytime.Communication is very important to me,so I like to have friends that I enjoy conversing with whether in person,on the phone,or via e-mail.A friend must be trustworthy annd honest.After all,if I'm going to share most of my inner mst thoughts and secrets with someone,She has to know how to keep a confidence,and not exploit my weaknesses.He cannot be a habitual liar,something I detest,and should not be closed-minded,but enjoy trying new things.

    Thats all from me...
    Love your friends very much ok... (",)

  4. Assalamualaikum and very good evening for Miss Syafawati.

    Today, I want to share with you about my article that I have read before. The title of this article is “What Causes Earthquakes?”.

    An earthquake is sudden rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth’s surface. Earthquakes can cause buildings and bridges to collapse, disrupt gas, electric and phone lines and often cause landslides, flash floods, fires, avalanches, and tsunamis.

    There are two main causes of earthquakes. Firstly, they can be linked to explosive volcanic eruptions. These are in fact very common in areas of volcanic activity where they either proceed or accompany eruptions. Secondly, they can be triggered by tectonic activity associated with plate margins and faults. The tectonic earthquakes are triggered when the crust becomes subjected to strain and eventually moves. The theory of plate tectonics explains how the crust of the earth is made of several plates, large areas of crust which float on the mantle.

    Volcanic earthquakes are far less common than tectonic ones. They are triggered by the explosive eruption of a volcano. When volcano explodes, it is likely that the associated earthquake effects will be confined to an area ten to twenty miles around its base. It will produce acidic lava. Acidic lava cools and sets very quickly upon contact with the air. This tends to chock the volcanic vent and block the further escape of pressure.

    For your information, earthquakes occur at a rate of several hundred per day around the world. A worldwide network of seismographs, machines that record movements of the Earth, detects about one million small earthquakes per day. Very large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, which caused millions of dollars in damage, occur worldwide once every few years. Moderate earthquakes such as the 1989 tremor in Loma Prieta, California, and the 1995 tremor in Kobe, Japan, occur about 20 times a year.

    The destruction an earthquake causes depends on its magnitude, duration and the amount of the shaking that occurs. The structural design and the material used in its construction also effects the amount of damage the structure incurs. Earthquakes vary from small, imperceptible shaking to large shocks felt over thousands of kilometers. Earthquakes can deform the ground, make buildings and other structures collapse and even create tsunamis.

    So, we know how the earthquakes happen and it is natural. Although it causes many of dead, millions of dollars in damage, we must accepted it as Qada’ and Qadar of Allah SWT.

    Thank you.

  5. Assalmualaikum and hi to miss syafawati and fellow friends...

    For this forth entry,I want to share a motivational story.The story entitled "A Box Full Of Kisses".

    I hope all of you enjoy reading this story...

    The story goes that some time ago,a man punished his 3-years-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless,the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said,"This is for you,Daddy."

    The man was embarassed by his earlier overreaction,but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty.He yelled at her,stating,"Don't you know,when you give someone a present,there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried,"Oh,Daddy,it's not empty at all.I blew kisses into the box.They're all for you,Daddy."

    The father was crushed.He put his arms around his little girl,and he begged for her forgiveness.

    Only a short time later,an accident took the life of the child.It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and,whenever he was discouraged,he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

    So,in a very real sense,each one of us,as humans beings,have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children,family members,friends and God.There is simply no other possession,anyone could hold,more precious than this.

    That's all.
    Thank you.

    Did you know, Front Range Community College (FRCC) is a two-year institution of higher learning located in Westminster, Colorado that is the largest community college in Colorado. I had read this article while I look out my inbox massage in Yahoo. Its said that, FRCC traces its heritage to the founding of the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education in 1967, which in 1968 established the North Campus of the Community College of Denver as its first new creation. In 1984 the North Campus was renamed as Front Range Community College and spun off as an independent institution in 1985. In 1988, the Larimer County Voc-Tech Center was incorporated as the Larimer Campus of FRCC. The college was accredited by the The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1975 and today FRCC maintains campuses at Fort Collins, Colorado, Longmont, Colorado, and Brighton, Colorado in addition to the main campus in Westminster and a highly developed online learning program. Recently the online learning program was noted for attracting more students to its summer class program.. This continues a nationwide trend towards increased enrollment in distance learning programs and just like in UMP also, it provide online learning program which is good and I hope UMP will follow what had FRCC done which is the nationwide trend.
    Others, FRCC manages the Stargazer Observatory in Stargazer Village as part of its astronomy program. That is huge. This observatory is the first part of a planned 50 million dollar cosmic ray observatory in Southern Colorado. I wonder when will UMP make a million ringgit observation and did I one of the member of the observation?
    In 2008, the college awarded 1,038 associate's degrees and an further 1,333 certificates. The student body is 58% female and 42% male, with most students studying part-time and pursuing programs in liberal arts and nursing.

    Well, even thought our university not been known nationwide but if its produce a good quality of human being and well in education for each of its student, UMP should be proud to produce a human like them.

  7. Assalamualaikum and a very good morning...

    Have you ever heard a fairytale story entitled 'Beauty and The Beast'??I'm sure most of us already read or heard about this story.

    This story is about a girl named Beauty and a prince called The Beast. The prince been called The Beast because an evil witch had turned him into a monster and only the love of a maiden willing to accept him as he himself, could transform him back into his real self.

    I also quite sure that everybody has already know the ending of this story right? The prince turned to his real self again after Beauty agreed to married him because of his kindness and not because of his title or his worthy.

    I know that some people think that this type of fairy tale story will only make the children dream on the day but if the parents know how to bring out the moral of the story, I think that the story can be very useful in teaching their children to become a usefull person one day.

    there are several tips that we can use for examination preparation..

    1. Getting Started

    The earlier you start, the more time you will have to prepare for the exam. You don't have to wait until exam time approaches; try to set the stage from the beginning of the course by reviewing the material after each class. By starting early and studying on a regular basis, you will have a better opportunity to absorb the information and life will be a lot easier when it's time to put it all together for the exam.

    2. Creating a Study Plan

    As the exam nears, you will need to create a plan to help you study effectively and minimize stress.

    3. Studying for the Exam

    You are now armed with a plan and ready to start studying for the exam. Try to study in a location where you can concentrate and won't be interrupted. You can work with others or join a study group if you find it helpful, but be careful to keep it from turning into an inefficient use of your time. Some proven study tools and techniques are listed below - people respond to different learning styles, so use what works for you.

  9. hello..

    nowadays,many man nowadays like football..but there are still many women like for watching football games in television..but..what is football??

    Football is the word given to a number of similar team sports, all of which involve (to varying degrees) kicking a ball with the foot in an attempt to score a goal. The most popular of these sports worldwide is association football, also known as "soccer" and most commonly just "football". The English language word "football" is also applied to "gridiron football" (a name associated with the North American sports, especially American football and Canadian football), Australian football, Gaelic football, rugby football (rugby league and rugby union), and related games. Each of these codes (specific sets of rules, or the games defined by them) is referred to as "football".

    These games involve:

    * Two teams of usually between 11 and 18 players. Note that versions with fewer players have varying degrees of popularity:
    o Six-man, eight-man, and nine-man football, derived from American football, are also played mainly at scholastic level in less-populated parts of the United States. Small schools in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan also play nine-man football, derived from the country's own code.
    o Rugby sevens, a version of rugby union with seven players per side instead of 15, is especially well-developed, with its own World Cup, a prominent annual international competition, and an entrenched position in the Commonwealth Games.
    o Although the sevens format also exists in rugby league, a different abbreviated format, rugby league nines, is more popular.
    * a clearly defined area in which to play the game;
    * scoring goals and/or points, by moving the ball to an opposing team's end of the field and either into a goal area, or over a line;
    * the goal and/or line being defended by the opposing team;
    * players being required to move the ball—depending on the code—by kicking, carrying and/or hand passing the ball; and
    * goals and/or points resulting from players putting the ball between two goalposts.

    Starvation Abuse

    I cannot believe what I have read about this news, starvation abuse. It is one of the ways of child abuse. It’s shocking news to me, because I could not believe how they could have the guts to do such thing to poor little kids. They still young and sometimes they know nothing. Why they should be thread like that? The weird part is there are some of them do i to there own child. How could them! Some of them thread that child like that because of that kid is stepdaughter or stepson. Even though the child is not your own child, but there are still little kids and we should thread them with full of love.

    Pay for water waste plan on the cards

    Such a interesting title which attract me to read for more details. I think this may be a good way to warn people not to waste water. We Malaysian can consider quite lucky because we have adequate water to use,dislike some country which don't have a basic water supply. We need to appreciate what we have now but not start to regret when we lost it.In my opinion, this method is usefull but the way to measure water waste from Energy, Water and Commu¬nications Minister is make me more curious or wish to know.

  14. The poem below is one of the poems which most I like. This poem makes me realize that there have a thousand characters of girls. The character can show us what special of them.

    Hello, my girls..
    Read this poem carefully. It might give you extra motivation. Who knows?


    Pretty girl, who is to blame
    Frightened girl, they don’t know her name
    Saddened girl, who cries at night
    Distant girl, who’s out of sight
    Psycho girl, with scars on her wrists
    Fairytale girl, who don’t exist
    Silent girl, without a name
    Ignored girl, who’s filled with shame
    Faking girl, with plastic smiles
    Freakish girl, from a thousand miles
    Emotionless girl, cant feel much pain
    Darkened girl, who brings the rain
    Crying girl, tears start to flood
    Psychotic girl, who drains her blood
    Hated girl, who no one loves
    Such a weak girl, who’s no longer though
    Angry girl, there is no cure
    Happy girl, she is no more
    Hidden girl, she covers her scars
    Prisoned girl, lived behind her life’s bars
    Crazy girl, who bleeds so much
    Lonely girl, who’s out of touch
    Stupid girl, who no one likes
    Beaten girl, who always fights
    Pretty girl, don’t give up now
    Suicide girl, there’s someway, somehow
    Scared girl, don’t be afraid
    Distant girl, don’t go away
    Morbid girl, don’t die tonight
    Worried girl, it'll be alright
    Stoner girl, tonight she'll smoke her sorrow
    Alcoholic girl, she'll drink tomorrow
    Furious girl, who has no more faith
    Depressed girl, who cries and aches
    Fallen girl, with broken wings
    Disturbed girl, fell off the swing
    Pretty girl, you are my friend
    Aching girl, just try to mend
    Ugly girl, not like before
    Beautiful girl, she is no more
    Pretty girl, who made her life end
    Pretty girl...no...Not again...


    I'll end this with one of my short story..

    “Of course, I’m a girl,” the sentence which I ever said to my ex-classmate. Suddenly, my tears were slowly flow from my red eyes. I could not control my emotion again. It was reach to the ultimate stress. He often says that my character is same as a man. How dare he? At the same time, i was imagine something. In my imagination, he is a ball which is suitable to kick. After that, I was kicked him.

    That's all. Thank you.

  15. assalamualaikum

    now i will share with all of you about one of the short story that i have read before.

    the title is " 4 wife "

    first off all don't ever think i was a playboy!!!!

    now let continue with the story,
    there was a very rich merchant who have 4 wife. he really loved his 4th wife followed with his 3rd wife then his second wife and the last one is his first wife.

    he always give the best for his 4th wife he also proud with his 3rd wife because she is beautiful. his second wife always help him when he have a problems and the first wife the he loved less was always help to manage his wealth and business.

    some day he fall sick and he sure that he will die soon then he asked his 4th,3rd and 2nd wife to company him when he died, but all this three wife refused to do so and tell him that they will remarry other man when he dies.

    he was so sad then his first wife said " I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go.I should have taken much better care of you while I could have ! "

    end....

    actually this story related to our life :
    a. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

    b. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.

    c. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

    d. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.

  17. Last few weeks, I had read one article about breast cancer..I thought only women can get breast cancer, but I found that lots of men suffer this disease also. As a women we should know the information about this disease that strongly become the "number one" killer to women nowadays. Here I want to share something that we all should know:What are the warning signs of breast cancer? The most common symptom is a new lump in the breast that's usually painless, hard, and has uneven edges. Other signs include skin irritation or dimpling; a lump in the underarm area; scaly or thickened nipples or breast skin; or swelling of the breast. If you have one of these or other symptoms of breast cancer, it's important to call your doctor as soon as possible. In order to get a diagnosis, you will probably undergo a complete physical and a clinical breast examination, as well as additional tests if necessary. Beware if you get those symptoms.Get medical check up as soon as possible before it separates.

  18. Assalamualaikum and hello to eceryone.Before this I had read about the convince. It is very interesting topic which I had seen. From my opinion, convincing people is hard when you don't have any confident..for me if we have a higher confident level the more people will convince in you..once its logical..i gave the example on art of convincing where me and my mother go to mall and suddenly a 'ogawa man' appear out of no where and try to convince my mother that the thing that their company sell was the best and reasonable..he use many kind tactics to convince my mother and at the end my mother bought it but actually before this my mother does not interested in the product that she bought..i guess after all it is one of the art of convincing..thats is what popped in my head after i read your 'art of convincing', my mother and her's ogawa set.
    i rather to say i more look in internal matter rather than external matter if i want to believe in someone..i believe in people that really close to me..the people who close to me tend to know more about me..for me how can i know he or she if i can trust them by looking their external matter like he or she is beautiful or smart..and also i will not trusted people whether he or she closed to me or not once she had deceive me..if once they had done to me, i will be more carefull with he or she next time and my trust on he or she is 'decreasing'.

  20. this is the story of Wright brother, i read it when i do my first presentation. Now i want to share it with you. People had dreamed of flying for many years. The United States Army was trying to develop an airplane in 1903, but the plane wouldn't fly. The New York Times wrote that maybe in 1 million to 10 million years they might be able to make a plane that would fly.

    Only eight days later two men were successful in flying the first manned plane. They were Wilbur Wright and his younger brother, Orville. They had made a propeller-driven * airplane and it had stayed in the air for 12 seconds! It was called the Wright Flyer. They made three more flights that day at
    Kitty Hawk. Only five people were there to see the flights, and very few newspapers even wrote a story about it.

    The first plane they had built was a glider that measured 16 feet from wing tip to wing tip. It cost them $15 to build it. The gasoline-powered plane they flew at Kitty Hawk cost them less than $1000 to build.

    They learned to love to "tinker" * from their mother. She was always fixing and repairing things. The boys earned money by making home-made mechanical toys. When bicycles became popular, they opened a bicycle shop.
    They studied birds and how they flew. They contacted other people who were trying to fly. They made a wind tunnel at their shop to test different kinds of wings.

    They continued to improve their planes, and five years later Orville remained in the air for one hour and two minutes. A few days later he had an accident in his plane. He had several broken bones and his passenger died. This was the most serious accident they ever had.


    Wilbur and Orville Wright

    After Wilbur died of typhoid fever * in 1912, Orville continued to work alone. He sold his interest in the Wright Company and retired three years later.

    The original * plane that flew at Kitty Hawk was placed in a Science Museum in London in 1928. Twenty years later, the museum sent the plane back to the United States. It can now be seen at the National Air Museum in Washington, D.C.

  21. Hello everyone...

    Anak odeng, odeng
    Anak odeng, odeng
    Lembu patah tanduk
    Patah tanduk

    From that song, I'm sure all of you must ask me what the song I have post. Today, I want to share about my hometown, Negeri Sembilan. That song is a famous song around the villagers at there. I hope this fact can give some information to you especially about the uniqueness of Negeri Sembilan.

    Seremban was our starting point in Negeri Sembilan to trek northwards back into Selangor. Negeri Sembilan’s capital is 64km (39 miles) south of Kuala Lumpur. Journey time from Kuala Lumpur by car is about 30 minutes. Negeri Sembilan is an area unlike any other in Malaysia, with distinctive architecture and customs derived from a matrilineal kinship system. Seremban, the capital of Negeri Sembilan, is the centre of the Malaysian Minangkabau area, which is closely related to the Minangkabau area of Sumatra.

    Negeri Sembilan is the only Malaysian state that still practices the custom of Adat Perpatih since the 14th century. The name 'Adat Perpatih' is derived from Datuk Parapatieh Nan Sebatang, a nickname used by Sutan Balun. Adat Perpatih was introduced in Negeri Sembilan subsequent to the migration of the Minangkabau in the 14th century. It is the local variation of the motherlands.

    The custom is practised by twelve clans (the biggest family unit) which are Biduanda, Batu Hampar, Paya Kumboh, Mungkal, Tiga Nenek, Sri Melenggang, Sri Lemak, Batu belah, Tanah Datar, Anak Melaka, Anak Acheh and Tiga Batu. The principle feature of Adat Perpatih is the matrilineal system in which the nucleus of the society is the female and her female offsprings. Membership of clan is for life.

    Adat Perpatih has its own unique rules regarding the matrimonial ceremony, divorce and inheritance. For example, a man is prohibited from marrying a woman of his clan, while marriage between maternal first cousin are also prohibited. Meanwhile, meticulous phases of matrimonial ceremony is to be observed starting from merisik, meminang, hari solek and menyalang. Wealth in Adat Perpatih is divided into four, harta pembawaan (wealth owned by the wife before marriage), harta dapatan (wealth owned by the wife after marriage), harta carian (wealth gained by the couple after marriage) and harta pesaka (inherited wealth). This rules may appear strict but the philosophy that lies behind it is noble and just. It is this rule that makes Adat Perpatih distinct from other systems.

    My advise to guys that who want to married an "Adat Perpatih" girls, please prepare your mental, physical and also your wealth so much more before we take all your wealth if you want to leave us. :)

  23. Assalamualaikum...
    Hope all of you are feeling well today..
    I had read an article about depression and now I want to share about this symptom to all of you.
    Depression is a mood disorder and should not be confused with the ups and downs that are a part of normal life. Clinical depression is characterized by extended periods of feeling sad or empty, where nothing is enjoyable and physical activity declines. Symptoms include mood swings, feeling numb, changes in eating and sleeping patterns, a lack of energy, and a sense of worthlessness or inadequacy. In the case of chronic mild depression (dysthymia), a person can function but not to full capacity, which often allows the problem to go unrecognized.
    Emotions clearly play a part in the problem, yet they are a normal part of life as mind and body react to situations. These feelings are mostly transient in nature; they come and go throughout the day. However, when emotions become intense and unremitting and are not tied to a particular stimulus, they are called moods, and extreme and persistent moods can lead to depression.
    Another factor in depressive illness is stress—a key feature of modern life. Again, however, not all stress is harmful. Like emotions, it can be good or bad, depending on its length and severity. A short period of stress enables us to accomplish tasks and to treat problems as challenges. This is referred to as good or acute stress. The bad stress is chronic and can have negative physical effects on the body, including insomnia, sickness and depression.
    So, for those who are suspect that you are displaying this symptom of depression, please quickly take an action to cure it. Just go to see your doctor before its too late to cure and the symptom become more worst. Take good care of your health and try to avoid too much stress on yours because it is a factor on getting this symptom.

  24. Try some of these tips to help you relax

    * Breathe deeply and slowly.

    * Relax your body and your mind like this:
    o Lie down or sit in a comfortable position.
    o Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
    o Tighten your feet and toes, hold them tight for three seconds, then relax them. Repeat this exercise with your leg muscles, your stomach and your arms and shoulders.
    o Think about something relaxing, perhaps lying in the shade of a tree on a hot day, a gentle breeze brushes your skin, the leaves rustle quietly, nothing to do just now but close your eyes and let your mind drift.
    o When you are relaxed and ready, open your eyes and bring the good feelings with you.

    * Ask a friend for a neck and shoulder massage.

    * Make a change in your routine.
    o Get up earlier, and go for a morning walk, or sit in a different place for breakfast.
    o Choose a different chair to watch TV, and eat some sugarfree popcorn or chewing gum.
    o Have a pen and paper by the phone so you can doodle, or move around while you are talking.
    o Take a soft rubber ball in the car, and do hand exercises if you are stuck in traffic.
    o Reduce or go off alcohol for a while and try a soft drink instead.

    * Exercise. This can be as simple as getting off the bus one stop early and walking the extra distance or using stairs instead of lifts.

  26. Assalamualaikum and have a nice day
    To all my friend and teaher.

    This story is very interesting and suitable to all the people to read this novel. I said that because, all this about the life. So, here I want to share this story together with you all. This novel about “LIFE CAN FOOL.” Living in this world is such a great opportunity with a great responsibility. We are created by God because you have a purpose. You should not only exist but you should be living. Existing means you are present in this world while living is more profound that means you are dealing with the things around you, you are socializing and you have a purpose every day that you''re here in this world. But, there are also many struggles in life that you will definitely encounter. It affects your views in life. These are experiences that they say was the best teacher. Nowadays, when you watch the news, what you will see are the numerous accidents, crimes, and calamity, happening in our world. But last week, there was this news that really struck me. When I heard about an eleven year old girl who committed suicide because she was tired living a poor life. Their family was simple. This girl wants to finish her study. She was really eager to help her family and actually she once tried to find a job but her mother get angry and slap her. She always saw her parents shouting and argumenting with each other. What they don''t know is that, she was really affected and one time she said to her classmate that she wants to die;that she can''t this anymore. And then, thats what she do the next day. All of her family was shocked. Many have pity on her. As people know her story, there are lots of people who help her family. They gave foods, school supplies and other things. In the end of the day, her story has a lesson, people help the needy when it''s too late. Its so sad that the eleven year old girl died and its too late before people help her. Oh, thats the irony of life. Each of us must be strong and survive in this world. "Life is short", this is what others always telling me. So, I must live my life to the fullest. Live life in such a way that God wants you to live. That all from me.

  27. Assalamualaikum...

    "A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway."

    "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
    Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
    Just walk beside me and be my friend."

    "Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil."

    The quotes above I'm sure most of use had ever heard. We created different types of words, quotes, poems and song to describe what is the meaning of a friend to us.

    However, to me, I think that a friend is someone who will always be with you either you're sad or happy, always there for you when you need them, did not care to scream at you when you're doing something wrong although he/she knows that he/she will lost the friendship because they just want us to be a good person.

    Whatever we describe the meaning of a friend for us, we should appreciate them and never hurt their feeling just like we will never hurt our parent's feeling.
    That's all, thank you.

  29. Assalamualaikum and good morning..
    Every parents in this world always want the best for their children. This is include about their playground. So, i want to share about "playground equipment safety".
    Playground equipment safety is a must for any parent or teacher, or really anyone who is supervising small kids at play. Ensuring good playground safety requires several things. First of all, there must be good playground safety rules for the kids to make sure that they don't abuse the equipment in a way which can cause danger. Second of all, the playground equipment itself must be inspected, and be insured of being safe. Third, there must be proper supervision by an authority who can do all that they can to ensure playground safetyThe playground safety rules are really a matter of common sense for adults, but common sense is anything but common among small children! This is why an adult should set the playground safety rules and make sure that everyone knows them. A helpful strategy is to make sure that the kids repeat the laws back to you, so that you can check that every one of them has heard and understood them. Now, to set good playground safety rules, you must know the playground. For example, if the slide is particularly tall, you should set rules making sure that one kid has finished sliding before the next one starts to climb the latter. If there is a swing set, you should tell the kids not to run under it. Things like that, which would occur to any adult, won't necessarily occur to small children, and so you should spell them out for the kids.The most important factor, however, for good playground safety, is good equipment. You must do the job of inspecting it yourself, making sure that the swings are on good strong chains, that all railings are firmly intact, and all steps are solid. You can always buy new equipment that is professionally certified for superior playground safety.Then, of course, there is the most important rule of playground safety: good adult supervision. This is not as simple as you might think. On a small playground with few toys, it might be enough just to keep an eye on the kids so that they don't get in to any trouble, but if there is more to it, then you must use more elaborate methods of supervision. The best way to supervise kids is to make them come by frequently to check in. That way, they can't wander too far off, and you will always know where they are.
    That's all. Thank you.

  30. Hi to all of you..

    This time I would like share with you all a little bit information about acne.
    As we all know, everyone desire to have a smooth complexion which is radiant and most of all- free from acne.
    Acne is actually not only grew on the face but exist on the body also.
    People who has a bad acne case normally opt for the laser treatment. The question is, Is laser treatment right for you?
    I've read an article that explain how really is laser treatment works.
    With laser acne treatment it is possible to diminish both the acne and the scarring that stanch from it.
    Treatment with lasers is a non-invasive type of surgery, and in some cases remarkable improvement can be seen after just a few sessions.
    For many acne sufferers, laser acne surgery is a quick, efficient, and effortless way to deal with acne and associated scarring, and can reduce both the discomfort and embarrassment that often accompanies this skin condition.
    Most people see a progress after the first treatment, still three to four once a month sessions are required to complete the treatment. Most patients experience a 95% reduction in pimples and lesions. Side effects are mild, with the most severe being swelling of the treated area. Since the treatments are gentle and quick, some patients even schedule them during lunch hours and breaks. There is no recovery time and very little discomfort. Many patients also experience some redness and irritation.
    Many people have also claimed that the laser burnt their face unless they used a special cream earlier. Others have criticized the treatment because the results were not worth the price. Like most acne treatments, the response is personal and may be wonderful for some. If you ever want to go for a laser acne treatment make sure that the dermatologist has done it earlier.
    If this is the first time you are going for any acne treatment then it is better to try out other topical or homemade acne treatments first. Skin specialists and dermatologists believe that among OTC acne treatments, products with benzoyl peroxide are the most effective acne treatment products, so you can try products with benzoyl peroxide, sulfur or resorcinol. If you do choose to go through with the acne laser treatment, make sure the person performing the treatment knows what they are doing and is fully trained with the machine.
    In conclusion, choose what's the best for your skin. Like I've said earlier, the quickest route may not be the best path.
