People say no one is perfect in this world but ill say my dad is a perfect father, perfect husband, perfect brother and he is a perfect son, lastly he is perfect man. My dad is a 50 year normal boilerman, who works under hot sun in hot steam engine in a company. Even though he was busy looking comfort for us he never left from his duties as a father and as a husband. Even how busy also he is, he'll find time to spend with his family.

Teluk Senangin with family

  Last weekend me and my family went to Teluk Senangin, Lumut, Perak to enjoy the weekend. We was there on a plan of having a picnic. Once we reach there we found out that a lot of people was there. It was quite hard for us to find a place to set out all the stuffs. And, finally after few minutes of look around we did found a place to set out the things we brought. After that all of us enjoyed the food cooked by my mom and after eat we were chatting there for a while and we played some games. After we done the games we all rest there for a while an get back to home.

Sleeping paralysis

    Many people have experienced waking up from their sleep in the middle of the night and found that they cannot move. Even though they are awake and fully conscious of what happening around them they are completely immobilised. Many have sensed a seen or an unseen presence on them or in the room. It is an extremely unnerving feeling and the person going through it is gripped by fear. This group of symptoms is popularly known, especially in the medical word, as 'sleep paralysis'

The women and her pet snake

   She slept with her snake and the veterinarian told her something shocking.

  This is a true story about a woman from India who lived in the middle ages, who had a pet snake, python. Which she loved so much. The snake was 4 metres long and looked healthy. However, one day her unusual pet just stopped eating.

  The vet listened to the woman carefully and asked, "does your snake sleep with you at night, wrap around you closely and spread out throughout its length?"
The woman was surprised and with lot of hope she said"yes!yes! It does it every day and it makes me so sad because I see something asking of me, and I can't help it feel better." Then, the vet said something shocking and most unexpected. "Madam, your pet is not sick; it is just preparing to eat you." Yes! The python wasn't sick but it has been preparing to eat her instead!

  " Every time its creeping and hugging you, wrapping around your body, is for checking size to weigh how great a meal you are and how must be prepared before the attack. And yes, it does eat in order to have space to digest you more easily," the vet said.*

  So we can conclude that, hugs and kisses are not always honest. Don't fear the enemy that attacks you, but the fake friend that hugs you.

Everyday, Routine

by tot707

About what is a regular of me. Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I say is thank you for another day and thank you for my feet hitting the floor once again.

The once I've dragged myself out, I have breakfast and get ready for my day I always to triple check that I have everything I need before I leave home. My class usually 1-2 hours depending on what I have on the day, and a lot of the time lecturer wanna check our final project. But after lunch break I have another class. so I usually have 2 hours before my next class. I usually go to the 'mamak' with Najihah where we sit and chill out before lunch.

After that, I go and get some lunch. Then going to the next class. My subject for this semester doesn't have a lots of contact hours, which leaves so much time for writing, presentation and researching. Right now, I am doing a lot of group work for writing for media and effective speaking. So we get to meet up to work on our assignment.

Once this all done, I'll go home to have dinner and hang out with Najihah for a bit. When reached home, spent time with cats and do some more work or have a bit of a movie night. This is pretty typical day for me, I love what I do. Time flies when you're having fun.

Early age of Bruce Lee

    The greatest icon of martial arts cinema, Bruce Lee, was born Lee Juan Fan in 1940 in San Francisco, the son of Lee Hoi Chuen, a singer with the Cantonese Opera. One year later, the family returned to Kowloon in Hong Kong, and at age of 5, the young Bruce began appearing in minor fikms. Bruce's decision to take up martial arts owed much to being beaten up by a street gang.

  He learned Wing Chun Kung Fu under the tutelage of sifu Yip Man, who taught Bruce for a period of approximately five years. This was only formalized martial arts training ever undertaken by Lee.

Factors That Contribute Students To Quit Studying From IPTA/S

by tot707

According to the topics, there are many factors that contributing the students deciding to stop their studies. As a student I’m currently experiencing some of these factor that was encouraged me to quit my studies. Besides, most of the people looking about poor academic performance problem on me. Thus, I will provide the thought of my viewing & perspective about it.

To discuss those factors that are affecting us as student of own academic performing. It was worth noting factors that contributed to poor academic performance. But some depend on others whereas some were independent on others. On my perspective, there is a lot.

For me, we come to the university with the most of same perception of living a free life. There is no one to guide us and easily influence to others. Mostly was affected by excitement of being because too young on particular time. Influence of people we are living with has impact to academic work. It depends on what kind of them and what do they like to do. Spending a lot of time with anyone instead of studying. Like me as easily influenced with others that make me hard to manage my time as I may have planned.

First when I came to the university, I experienced difficulties with language because of lack on speak in English. It took times for me to adapt with it but it were perceived as putting me at higher level.

The most problematic issue is financial problem. It was plays detrimental impact to academic. I once experienced to this when were not registered new semester due to the outstanding balance. I was owning the university almost 4000 ringgit. Fortunately, I never thought of quitting my study and managed to pay but seriously it was not easy.

Sometimes, workload and lecturer issue also contributes because on style of lecturing in making an examples are too fast. Then, they demands higher performance. In case I’m not understand a work, normally I’ll go straight to the lecturer and ask my friends sometimes. But for further information, I go to Google. If I do not get any then I consult with lecturer back. Then, extracurricular activities are helps, it makes one’s mind active & keeping the mind broad but it exhaust a lot of time.

Students were affected by environmental factors than internal factors such as motivation, self-esteem, stress and their capabilities. It was crucial to note that not only the students, but also lecturers and administrators needed to work collaboratively to improve students’ academic lives.

Illegal motorcycle race

  Illegal motorcycle racing increases road. These motorcyclists drive recklessly an they are ignorant of the fact that they are risking their lives. They are looking for excitement and are thrilled at the thought of winning over their peers.

  And then they proudly perform dangerous stunts on the road to show off their ability to their friends and also to other road users. Oblivious to the fact that they are exposing themselves to road accidents.

   These motorcyclists also risk the lives of others. Moreover, they drive recklessly and perform stunts. After that, statistics many accidents happen when these motorcyclists lose control of their motorcycles due to speed or while performing a stunt.

   Accidents occur, when they skid and fall on the road, other vehicles, in attempt to avoid ramming into them, swerve or brake suddenly and this may cause major accidents.

  Due to the failure to adhere to road safety rules during these illegal motorcycle racing increases road accident rates. Other than that, these motorcyclists as they fancy, ignoring road signs, stop signs, low gear signs or traffic lights.

 In a conclusion, the reasons above are proving that most of the accidents are happening because of illegal motorcycle racing.

Durian

  We are familiar with its thorny skin and its strong smell that is pleasant to many, and unpleasant to some. We also know that durians are honourable dubbed as " The King of Fruit". But is that all you know about durians.

  Besides being eaten raw, durians taste just as good when they are cooked.
The Malays are especially good at preparing delicacies using durians as the main ingredient. Name like dodol(the durian cake), tempoyak(the fermented durian) and durian gravy( to be eaten with glutinous rice) are not strangers for us. Now the Malaysian Chinese also have durian mooncakes for their mooncake festival.

  So, durians are one delicious fruit that can be eaten in many satisfying ways. So love it and enjoy the taste.

May, Gemini

by tot707

Happy May! I can already tell that this month will bring an abundance of happiness, positive vibes and love.

Gemini have a volatile temperament, that their strength however is their versatility allow them to learn a little about everything and develop skills in many areas. Gemini are considered to hold mysteriously unique artistic and creative abilities unlike other signs. Often considered to be very intelligent individuals, they have a wide appreciation for the arts, philosophy history and the natural sciences. They do not like boring people or routine procedures and therefore struggle to deal with authoritative figures. Gemini are sensitive as well but use their high intelligence to counter anything that upset them. Geminis usually get along very well with Leos, Aries, Sagittariuses. They do not see eye to eye with Pisces, Cancers, Virgos and Scorpios. Gemini are best suited for people of Aquarius and Libra signs but also get well with Capricorns and Taurus signs.
