“Come, let’s go together and enjoy it! Let’s have fun together…” my aunt kept persuading me to follow them to the orchard.
In the end, I can’t afford her persuade and followed them. What were the activities they wanted to carry out there? Let’s guess…Sure you can’t expect! Fly kites~Haha…
In fact, my cousins and I as a modern child is not familiar with this game. We are all living a comfortable life and rarely will we play the games that our parents used to play their times. So, you can imagine who were playing in the end – sure they are our aunts and uncles. We don’t even know how to let the kites to fly high in the sky….
The wind is stronger at high altitudes. We, children started to learn there. According to the “eldery”, the stronger the wind, the easier to fly the kites if u can catch where the wind direction comes from. The funniest thing was that my youngest cousin gave up to fly the kite high in the sky but ran back and froth so that the kite fly. See, she managed to do it! Haha…
However, the wind stopped. Then, we decided to pay a visit in the durian orchard. It is almost the durian season. Therefore, we can see durians hanging on the tree. It was the first time I went to my uncle’s orchard. We also surprised to be told that the small trunk will be the flesh of durian that we eat! (Red circle in the photo) I can’t imagine it!
Besides that, we were caught in the rain there! What a new experience! Luckily we brought some snacks and fruits. That was the good timing for us to savour those stuff. “If got durian to eat, that would be perfect!” my uncle said with a sorrow tone. We all laughed happily even though it was raining. No matter how, it was really a new and thrilling experience for all of us.

Holiday moods
Being disturbed by all of my relatives for days just to celebrate my grandma's birthday and has a family gathering, i was awakened at the early of the morning even though i slept late. I wondered why they can be so energetic as if they had ever-lasting energy although they slept late(later than me). Our small living room was crammed with people and filled with joyfulness. It is a precious time for all of us to gather together. In todays fast pace world, everyone is busy with their works so it is very difficult for everyone to has time for a gathering after we work. No doubt it is noisy and lethargic but we still enjoy our family hours~

Fragile Human Beings
I heard a bad news from my mum that my neighbour passed away because of sudden heart attack..
The news was so sudden and unbelievable as i saw him quite often and he looked healthy..Although he is obese..Not only this man, i have seen a lot of contemporary people demised because of sudden heart attack.It really brings a deep sorrow for the family as it is so difficult for us to accept that a person that seem healthy around you leave you within a minute...
Is it because of the too comfortable and luxury life? People tend live a sedentary lifestyle..We are consuming food with high calories and cholesterol these days.We are less conscious about our health in the perspective that we still young and cant get all these illnesses..However, we are wrong..I really feel sad for the children of that man..They are all young and his wife does not work before this..How are they going to continue their life without the family main support?I do hope they can get recover from the sorrow soon and start a new life as soon as possible..

Australia - Character Review
Australia is the second movie we watched during our English class. We all had fun with these two movie. After we watched this movie, we are given a task - write a bout a character review.
Lady Sarah Ashley
Set just before the South Pacific invasion during World War II, Australia centres on English aristocrat Lady Sarah Ashley who journeys to remote Northern Territory of Australia to persuade her husband sell his ranch and return to England together with her. Lady Sarah Ashley is the main character in the movie, Australia. She is a charming, confident and unique lady. She is an arrogant upper class woman who stays in London. She is also tall and elegant. She lives a luxury and comfortable life in London. However, she faces a lot of challenges since she goes to Australia. Finally, she falls in love with the Drover and marries with him.
She is a tough and brave woman. When she discovers the tragic death of her husband, it turns out she inherits the running of a cattle station, Faraway Downs. She accepts the fact sturdily and takes on the big responsibility with an open hand although she knows nothing about the cattle. Believing what a half-white, half-indigene boy, Nullah has told her, she gets help from a brawling, surly, no-nonsense vagrant called The Drover as an unlikely crew to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country’s most deserted landscape to Darwin, in order to sell to the government, which is at war with the Japanese.
She has strong determination in order to achieve her goal. She dares to go with them and stays in the harsh environment in which she never stays before. She faces the obstacles along the journey which includes the fires and the poisoning of the water sources did by Fletcher. She never gives up in these circumstances.
She is loving and kind too. She becomes a surrogate mother to Nullah when Fletcher kills Nullah’s mother. She treats Nullah and his mother kindly unlike the other white people. She does not discriminate them. She even lays off Fletcher after seeing he mistreats Nullah. She loves Nullah just like her own son. She gives him everything and takes good care of him. She attempts to make the upper class whites realize that half-Aboriginal children belong to their mothers and not to the government in the ball of “Children Mission Island”. She is willing to protect and sacrifices for Nullah. At the end, she let him go as she knows that Nullah does not belong to anyone.
In the end, she outback together with Drover and live happily together. She learns to respect and cherish each others after they face lots of challenges and arguments.

Movie Review
Coach Carter is a great movie which brings out a lot of social issues and lessons. It is about the process of why Mr. Carter accepted the job as the coach for the basketball team in Richmond High School which was his old high school in a poor area of Richmond and how he changed the members of his team who are Kenyon Stone, Timo Cruz, Worm, Jason Lyle, Damien Carter and etc.
He took over the job as the coach of the boys’ basketball team. Unfortunately, he troubled school he remembered as a teenager is an even more insufferable place in his adulthood. Determined to make a change in his players' lives, Carter made each young man signed a contract that ensure he will maintain a 2.3 GPA, attend every class, sit in the front row during lessons and wear a jacket and tie on game day. He also called their parents or guardians to come over to explain about the content in the contract. Of course, they all gave bad response. However, they had no choice so they gave in. During the practices, Mr.Carter tried to build up their own disciplines by giving them a lot of punishments and rules. . At practices, Coach Carter puts the team through vigorous conditioning including suicides and push-ups which stretch some of the players beyond their breaking point. The initial resistance from the boys was soon dispelled as the team under Carter's tutelage became an undefeated competitor in the games. They did excellent in their every game. However, when the overconfident team's behavior began to stray and Carter learnt that too many players are doing poorly in class, he took immediate action by locking up the gym and cancelled all the games in order to force the boys to concentrate in their study. Or else, the locked gym will never be opened.
The story came into climax when the school authority conducted a conference on the issue. Coach Carter received some praise and much more criticism for his decision. The final decision of the conference had disappointed Coach Carter and he chose to quit. We are so inquisitive that whether he really wanted to quit. Was it the right decision to leave that time after he did so many struggles and sacrifices? However, his team members supported him and they did say that no one can force them if they did not want to play. They studied hard and obeyed the rule by sitting in the front row since then. Carter was heartened and decided to stay, thanking the players. The team made it into the state high-school championship playoffs. The climactic game took place in the tournament's first round against the first ranked team in the state, St. Francis. Although they were defeated in the end, their spirits never die and Coach Carter was very proud of them. In the end, the 6 players managed to go into colleges to pursue their dreams.
After watching this movie, I found out that there was a lot of cussing. The teenagers tend to use cussing during communication and tend to be rude to the elders as well. Coach Curter tried to change their bad attitudes by calling each others sirs or gentlemen. This showed respect to others and had a good work ethic on the court.
In addition, there are a lot of social issues in this movie. The social issues included gangsters, vandalism, drugs selling, abortion, crime and even family problems. Most of the teenagers were aggressive and tend to solve problems by fighting. Most of the team members were facing their own family’s problems. Their family members may be died or prisoned. One of the members, Timo involved in gang life and he owned a shotgun. His friend also ended up with dead. His friend was shot and died by the street. This case was a serious crime. The other member was also having problem with her girlfriend, Kira who got pregnant. He did not know what to do as he felt that he should took on the responsibility but on the other hand, he also wanted to pursue his dream to play college ball. Finally, they broke up and Kira aborted the baby. For vandalism, we also could see someone breaking into Coach Carter’s sports equipment store by a gang which asked him to let the players play their basketball. Besides that, the school authority also did not do their part to educate the students. There was no proper system and they were subjective. They just wanted the boys to play basketball and win in their games regardless how bad their achievement in the academic.
However, there are plenty of moral values in this movie as well. Timo showed repentance after he witnessed the murder of his cousin. He wanted to get out of gang life and he was welcomed by Coach Carter. This event tells us that we should change to be a better man when we know our faults. The other moral value that I have learnt is that we should have persistence in our life. Coach Carter persisted with his strong determination that he could change the boys and he did it in the end. The boys also persisted in their study and ended up with studying in colleges which was a dream that will never been achieved. Their persistence brought fruition. This movie also showed the willingness to help each other. They were willing to help each other when they faced difficulties in their study. The movie even teaches us that in life we will always have obstacles. It’s up to us to overcome them and be successful. We should dare to take over these obstacles and challenges if we want to success. I learnt that goals in life that seem to be unattainable can really be reached. It teaches me to be responsible as well. We should take full responsibility to the actions we have done. I realized that teen abortion is a irresponsible action and we should avoid this to be happen in our life.
All in all, it is really a great movie and it teaches us a lot of lessons.

Farewel
Yesterday, 7E1 was having a farewel party for our classmate, Izzac. He is leaving us today to take his engineering schorlarship from MAS. He prefers engineering, so he gives up this scholarship. It's the right deciaion to choose the thing we like and really hope that he can pursue his dream and realise it one day. Wish him has a bright and happy future! And our classmates will remeber this guy -- Tappoyo..Why he call him like this? Curious..haha..
Initially, we planned to have the party in cafeteria. Everything was going smooth. However, when we started to cut our cake, a GUARD came and asked us to go the the barbeque area, cafeteria cannot!!Why?Isn't it a place for us to eat?? Luckily Izzac has finished his touching speech. Then never mind, we changed venue, barbeque area was used by others and we changed again. We went to the basketball court thinking that this time sure the guard cant do anything, but HE FOLLOW US as well!!What a H---! Some of us went to asked and he said CaNNOT again! Finally, we went to the car park site to have our cake and had our party there. We took a lot of photos but seem like Izzac is not in majority of the photos. Haha..Anyway, we really thank him for being our 1 month+ classmate. Gambate and wish him good luck all the way..

My new blog
Today, we are brought to the computer lab to create our own blog for our english lesson.
We are asked to post anything we want to write in our new blog, and can only be in English...
Coming to Inti UC for the fourth week, what can i say about the life here?
Boring?Fantastic? or dull?
Actually what come into my mind is boring + pressure...
here don't have any entertainment around and in the other way, we can say that it's really a good study environment...Staying in the hostel, our second home, i really not use to this small room on the first few weeks..i tend to stay in the living room doing my works and mess up all the things when i was at home.That's why i can't use to this room...
Once we start our lesson, we are given quite many asignments, knowing still a lot awaiting us in the future, i really hate and scare these assignments. May be we are still not use to this type of study style, which is totally different from what we have practised in our secondary school, so i seem these as my burdens...Any works we have to find information and references ourselves, no longer our teachers will prepare all these things like we were in secondary school...
Really hope that i can cope up with this new situation soon...
