Mohd Amin Soufi Bin Mohd Shahbani.  01-201111-00181

Entry 1

I my opinion one of the things that bugs the heck out of me,is PDA. It's stands for Public Displays of Affection, and it's gross, gross, gross. It should be kept out of school it makes people uncomfortable, and it draws negative attentions to yourself.
  What will you feel when you're trying to pass through the hallways, but you have two lovebirds in front of you having make-out sessions at their lockers making it impossible to get your stuff ? After all, school aren't meant for showing public display of affection, right?  Schools are meant for education , where you go to learn. When you want to say hi or bye to your couple, make it a quick hug or a friendly hug, make your way to class, don't get in the way of others. I some schools, PDA and any physical contact has been banned because some students don't have the ability to make appropriate choices between inappropriate and appropriate physical contact. It was inappropriate towards your peers and teachers and school is not the place for it.
  Yes you might be in love with your couple and for god sake, please make those intimate in private.I can't keep trackhow many times I've seen it happen. The most places I've seen so far this inappropriate act is at the malls and amusement park line ups. Groping, touching, wet sloppy kisses. It's absolutely disgusting, especially when you look like you're sucking each other's face off. Acting this way draws negative attentions towards yourself, people will think badly of you, and it's not a good thing. Then you're not only humiliating yourself but also your parents who have raised you and your family who always be there for you.



Entry 2

Love is a feeling that involve people, for example love between families, friends and couples. But I want to tell about love between me and my best friend that I've consider him as my brother. Things started when my family moved from Kedah to Penang. I was having a hard time making new friends , because my parents did told me once that I need to break the passive side of me because I was a very passive kid.I was eight years old when I was moved to Penang. The first time felt a bit uncomfortable because I'm not used schooling with girls. It's a mixed schools, when I was in Kedah I went to boy schools. So being around girls do make me feel more shy and intimidated.
I was alone for few month, but until one boy in my class came and talk to me, his name is Azzarul Idham people call him Am. So he was my actually first friend in that school. My life at that school became much better when he was around. We played together, have lunch together, do sports together and every single thing we did together. Until all the teachers and few friends noticed that we are so closed and the call us shadows.
We grow up until ten years old, then I've got a bad news from my parents. My dad told me and my siblings that he has been transffered to Kuala Lumpur and the whole family need to moved there within three month. I was so upset and I did not tell Am about that news. I act like nothings going to happen. When the time arrived, we moved without Am's knowing. Day by day, week by week, month by month I felt alone and empty even I've made some new friends at my new school.
When I was thirteen years old, when I have facebook account. I try to search for him, never get bored doing the same routine. Until one fine day when I was already seventeen and currently after SPM I found his facebook account, with no hesitations I add him into my friend list. Then we began to contact and keep in touch as we used to be before.
  Everything changed when he told me that he has heart cancer, I was speechless,confused and hurt when he drop that huge news on me. But I try not to make him feel worried, always gives him support and try as good as I can to cheer him up when he was down. Most of the times we chat on facebook and three times a month we have a video chat. We rarely got to meet because now he was studying at Politechnique Kedah.  When I went back to my hometown, that is when the chance that we get to meet. When I was in my previous college in Ara Damansara, we did get in lot's of arguments. But everytime we fought or argue, we cant saty mad at each other for a long time because I need my brother as much as he needs me. We shared everything together from family, friend, problems, happy news, likes and dislikes and every single thing.
He can never be replaced, he will always be my brother no matter what happen.

Entry 3


In my opinion I definitely choose Machu Picchu it's a pre-Columbian Inca city located at 2,430 m (7,970 ft.) altitude on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, near Cusco. Machu Picchu is also the most familiar symbol of the Inca Empire. It is rarely referred  as "The Lost City of the Incas". The site was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1983 when it was described as "an absolute masterpiece of architecture and a unique testimony to the Inca civilization". It was constructed around 1450, at the height of the Inca Empire, and was abandoned around 100 years later, as the empire collapsed under Spanish conquest. Although the citadel is located only about 50 miles from Cusco, the Inca capital, it was never found and destroyed by the Spanish, as were many other Inca sites. Over the centuries, the surrounding jungle grew to enshroud the site, and few knew of its existence. In 1911, Yale historian and explorer Hiram Bingham brought the "lost" city to the world's attention. Bingham and others hypothesized that the citadel was the traditional birthplace of the Inca people or the spiritual center of the "virgins of the sun," while curators of a recent exhibit have speculated that Machu Picchu was a royal retreat.


Entry 4


 If I was an inventer or I was given an opportunity to invent something, clearly I will invent a time watch that can stop the time from travelling. Most of people are complaining that they don't have enough time to do their routine or they don't have enough rest, well to be honest I was one of them to. Maybe I can't deal wiith lot's of pressure I easily get sick and also my body react crazily to pressure. Some people when they have great pressure ahead of them they intend to have a headache, migraine or they loose weight. But as in for me I will be puking and my heads a bit spinning if I can't handle the pressure.
  Enough of explaining about that, now I want to explain about the time watch that intend to invent. I don't really like wearing watches but if this kind of watch are actually invented, trust me I'll be the first one who's going to get it. This watch can stop the time from travelling so fast or it also invented to slower the time accordingly to the owner of the watch. The owner may have worried about the watch cradibility, does the watch need a batteries of should it be charged like a handphone..? Well more easy way is this watch will only need to be wear and it will functionate on it's own. Just by using the temperature of human's body. So with this watch people will stop whinning about their time management.

   But don't worry people, this watch can only set time for few hours and the limits is about 4 hours to 6 hours then the time will be back to normal. About the trends also, especially for the females all include (mother,sisters,girlfriends and friends) this watch is a basic watch and all the accessories will be choose by the owner. If u ever get bored looking the same kind of accessories you can changed it whenever you want.


Entry 5

   Based on the video. the moral that I get from it is that never give up when you are not at good stakes. Everyone have obstacles and weak moment in their life, everyone have been bullied and called names. But we have to know that no matter how hard the problem that we are dealing with but there are more people who would give everything just to be in our shoes and many more are dealing with greater problems in their life.Like he said "if I fell down how am I going to get up? " and when he showed how do he actually getting up, I realise that whatever complicated things in my life I have to be thankful and enjoyed all the things that god provide for me. God give me complete physical and I should not whinning about my health. God is fair to all people, everything he give or did must have a good reasons.
    It took me few years to be brave and accepting myself. Since I was 7 years old people do call me weird, fat,sassy and a lot more mean words. I do cry and now I realise that there is no good at crying and hating myself of other's. It's about me accepting myself and love myself like people who loves me.He accepted his physical and love his life, and look where he is now. He was a well known people everyone wants to hear what he has to say. He thought me and all people that actually see the video or meet him in person one most important thing. That is "always believe in yourself ".
      It changed me a lot when I watch the video, clearly he's happy with his life and his achievements. He didn't stops when he failed and always push through harder and harder without any hesitations. He's aiming for his goal and now he get his goal and he was such an inspirations not only to people who have the same fate as him but also to all other people who never knows how to be thankfull for what they have in their life. Now he changed me and most peoples not only physically but also mentally. I'm hoping maybe one day I get to actually meet him hear more great advice and great things he have to say and share.


Entry 6

    Mind your Language have a lot of version and also the best comedy that everyone can really enjoyed. In that story there are lot's of characters,my favourite character is Mr Jeremy Brown. He's a English teacher that trying to teach his student that don't know how to speak English. He is a new teacher in that school and he has changed his role from Mr Warburton. In so many various bureaucratic behavior that need to be faced .Mr Jeremy Brown's students is Maximillion ,Anna Schmidt, Giovanni Gupello, Jamila Ranjha, Ali Nadim ,Ranjeet Singh, Taro Nagazumi, Juan Cervantes ,Chung Su Lee, and last but not least Danielle.

   There's a lot of things that need to be done by Mr Jeremy.His first task is how he can make sure that his teaching technique is  so that his student won't feel bored then will easily giving up, one of his student Jamila do not know how to speaking English but she can only say gud efening(good evening), then Juan Cervantes he is an Italian and he does not speak  English, most of the time he speaks Italian. Other's can speak English but with lot's of mistakes, Taro Nagazumi when he speak he always adding 'O'at the end of each of his sentence. Even having a very challenging job Mr Jeremy somehow find a great teaching technique, and in the end all of his student can speaks English in a better way.


Entry 7
    Sometimes it is hard for us to change people's minded, especially adult because for most them they think that just because they are much older they dosen't need any advice or listen to any opinion. So if I have a choice to choose a super power, I would say "vision control". It's just a simple and harmless super power, but here's the advantage. When I concentrate my mind on someone I can make he or she see things that I want them to see or I can make them see nothing, completely blank.
    With this kind of power, I can make people see how important for us human beings to always keep things in order and always make sure that our actions won't harm others. For example for a smoker, I want to make they see that how is smoking can destroyed their life. Because even they know that smoking is not good for humans, they just don't really care. My other point of having this kind of power is how am I going to make people see that we all have to start taking a very good care of the earth, because the earth is not a trash can. If people can actually see all this, then only they will know that the earth is very dirty and will cause us a very serious problems.
       I also want to use this power for good things like helping people, like I say this power is just a simple and harmless power but I can make people see what I want them to see. For example when I saw someone getting bullied or being rob, I can make the people who is making the scene see somethings that could distract them or make them lose their sight. This power can also be a shield for me when I feel I'm in danger or not in a safe situation, I have to admit being a student do have a lot of unsafe situation. But like all other superheroes, if I have this special ability I won't misuse it because I don't want to be a jerk or in superheroes term 'Villain". I hope I can change the world and make it better and all of us can lived in a great life without any fear or feeling unsure.


Entry 8
     Being in English class without my friends is quite a nerve racking. I mean this is not an high school life anymore, this is college. It's a serious business, for us student to show our potential and being great and shine so that we can get a good marks and prove to the lecturers that we do deserve to be here. The first time I enter this class, I was shy because I'm a very passive person. When I looked around, there's no one from my course. I feel a bit intimidated by that, but I make a promise in myself  "no matter what happen, I'm here to learn and gained knowledge and I don't want to repeat this subject because when repeating the same subject people will look me as a loser and stupid". So I put on my happy smile face every time I enter the class, but when the grouping task is given by miss Vaitheswary then only I realise that I can't keep on quite. I need friends not just because of the task but also for me to be happy learning in the class.
    So the first friend who actually talk to me is Dhana, it didn't take long time for me to make new friends that  day. From Dhana, then I talk to Meiling then when I turn back Mila and Norul also starts a conversations with me.Then from that moment I feel so much better when entering that class. I have friends even just few, and they such a great people that come into my life. But as usual when there is a good things there is also bad things like in chinese parable "if there is a YING there is a YANG".I do like being in Miss V's class, but there are few people and I'm not trying to offend anybody but this is my experience. Who was very childish and not really good people to keep company, it was so chaos when they enter the class. All I and others can hear is their voice laughing so hard and somehow most of us find that was so irritating, it's just like they are trying to distract peoples's concentrations by focusing hearing they laugh.Sometimes I just don't understand how can people be so unsophisticated when they are actually dress and looking like a sophisticated student. But I'm not going to lose my concentration just by hearing that annoying sound.
     Enough of that parts, the next thing I want to tell is about miss V's teaching technique. I like the way she teach us, she teach with lot's of patience. I can see the way she feels, it's was very challenging for her to make sure we understand what she is teaching considering most of us English is not our mother tongue. She have lot's of great techniques of teaching, but the most challenging task is when miss V ask us to post our journal writing in the blog that she invited us. This is because computer settings is not my cup of tea, I am more on designing and drawing. Miss never left her student, she will try her best to help us and make sure that we will get a good marks in examinations. Over all, she did a great job by improvising our English.
    Lastly, about other classmates. I thought I only make four friends in that class, but clearly I was wrong. Because there's a lot of great and clever people in that class, once my team can't do the presentations because of technical problem of our time and task arrangement between team members. I know that miss was disappointed in us that day and we almost didn't get the chance to present our presentations, but after an  unanimous vote from our fellow classmates. We got a second chance from miss and we never feel so grateful for that opportunity given by our friends and Miss.
