Facebook urged to tell police of child porn groups

Police have urged social networking sites to be more vigilant and alert after cracking an international child pornography ring operating on Facebook. An international investigation carried out by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) was unable to detect the activities of the child pornography ring. An AFP spokesman says Facebook knew of the group's activities on their pages and closed them down, but within hours they were re-forming. He says it should serve as a warning that social networking providers should constantly scan for child exploitation material.The spokesman says any findings should be reported to police. Currently, 11 men have been arrested as part of the AFP investigation, including two from Melbourne and one from Port Kembla in New South Wales. Investigations across four continents are continuing.



Comment: It is no doubt that social networking site such as facebook and msn are indispensable in our daily life nowadays. We can express our feeling, share photos and a lot more in this site. However, everyone should be vigilant too as it may bring harms to us. Some people may abuse this site and this definitely leads many negative impacts across the country as we are interconnected via this interactive tools. Hence, parents should always guide their children in accessing the social networking site.

Grown-up Problems Stress Parents

Research shows that the successes and failures of the adult children have a profound effect on the well-being of middle-aged parents. Even having a high-achieving adult child does not make up for the stress of having one with problems. According to US researchers, parents having a successful children, are more likely to feel depress and worry when their other adult child is having problems. It may be true that parents are only as happy as their least happy child. Study involving 630 parents with children aged between 18 and 33 years old has been carried out. There is approximately 68 per cent of the parents reported having at least one grown child that showed physical, emotional, lifestyle or behavioural problem in the past two years. These include a serious health problem or injury, psychological problems, or financial or relationship difficulties. President of the Australian Psychological Society, Bob Montgomery, said parents often believed it was their job to solve their children's problems and protect them from threats. However he has mentioned that children have to learn to be independent and solve the problems on their own. Parents should be emphatic but not continue to support their child's behaviour.


Comment:
I think everyone would agree that parents are the one who love and really care about us. Parents seem to be very worried when they find out that their children are engaged in any problems. This can be seen in everyday life and all children sure can sense it without conducting any research to prove it. Hence, children should learn to be responsible and independent as well as try share the problems to their parents. Parents on the other hand, have to encourage their children to talk to them and give them a good suggestion to solve the problem. With both parties come together and have an open-heart talk, I believe that this problem can be easily managed.

A BABY and toddler have suffered facial burns after youths threw an acidic liquid at their pram from a Melbourne multi-storey car park.

The baby boy, aged 12 months, and girl, aged two, suffered superficial facial injuries when the sodium hydroxide spilled on them in their pram. This incident occurred as their mother pushed them along in multi-storey car park. It is believed the incident may have been a practical joke that turned tragic. According to the investigator, the mother was pushing her children in the pram along Bray Street in South Yarra when the incident happened. The substance is believed to have tile cleaner and have been poured from above. Two youths are suspected of pouring the chemical, possibly a strong cleaner, from the top of a multi-storey car park. The witness at a nearby restaurant said that the mother screaming for help. The mother said that her children were covered in the soapy liquid like a chemical. Their body were red and burnt. Their body were covered by all the dots. Stonnington detectives are investigating the incident and trying to identify whether the accident was deliberate or accidental. A Royal Children’s Hospital spokeswoman said the children in satisfactory condition.


Comment:
In my opinion, this issue should be taken seriously by the authorities. . The youths should be cautioned and asked carefully about the truth. Security at the public areas should be productive in making sure the safety of the community. Hence, the safety of the community should put into precedence

Schools urged to install free condom machines

Free condom machines would be placed in every high school as part of a plan to address sexually-transmitted diseases and cut down the abortion rate. According to the plan, the free condom vending machines would not support or encourage sex in the early age. Family Planning Victoria (FPV) is taking charge to fund contraception in Australia as a way of encouraging safe sex and preventing unplanned pregnancies. Availability of free condoms in high schools would be the perfect start, said FPV chair Sally Cockburn. She further elaborated that it is reasonable to place a free condom vending machine for year 11 and 12 in their common room. According to her, it is the right time that we should concern and protect our young generation. She explained that this program should be discussed 10 or 15 year ago but it is not too late to start it now. It is not surprise that students in younger grades were having sex hence free condom vending machines would help to prevent early sex rather than encourage it. This would be included into a larger education program. However, the Australian Education Union has dismissed the idea. The union's Victoria president says the role of schools is to educate, not to supply students with condoms. He said we certainly care about our students, their health, their welfare, but our role is in educating them not providing them with condoms.


Comment: In my opinion, I agree with the president of union’s Victoria that the major role of school is to educate and move them towards the right direction. However, free sex activities among the youngster now are growing vigorously. It seems to be difficult to prevent this from happening. Hence, encouraging save sex is a good way to tackle this problems rather than action to prevent free sex. This actually reduces their risk from being infected by the sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS that is incurable. Besides that, a proper sex education should be carried out in every school to better educate the students in free sex problems.

Man charged after gang shooting in Padbury car park

A 20-year-old Duncraig man was charged over the shotgun shooting in a Padbury car park which seriously injured the victim. The man pulled a shotgun during a fight between two groups of people in a Padbury car park at about 11pm and shot the 21-year-old in the stomach. Police allege the man was in a group that became involved in a dispute with another group. They confronted each other at shopping centre car park in Warburton Avenue and it was during this time that the 21-year-old man was shot in the stomach. Trent Jackson, of Duncraig, has been sentenced for causing grievous bodily harm, going armed to cause fear and possessing an unlicensed firearm. The injured man was driven by a friend to Joondalup Health Campus, in Perth. The victim was in a stable condition after undergoing surgery to remove shotgun pellets from his stomach.


Comments: Social violence among the teenagers is getting worse nowadays. Teenagers are easily influence by peers and have their own peer groups. Even worse, they owned unlicensed firearm and this leads to a more serious social issue as it can kill one’s life with only one shot. Parents should guide them as well as encourage them to choose the right friends. Peer is very powerful to influence each other. Choosing the right friends will lead to the right direction in life. Hence, this needs a concern from all the members in society.

Aaron Travis Pompey jailed over car crash where four passengers died

A judge in the SA District Court has sentenced Aaron Travis Pompey, 20 to a long term jail of nine years and three months after being pleaded guilty to four counts. Pompey was drunk and travelling in the stolen car from Western Australia with the speed of up to 183 km/h and hit the tree. The accident has killed four passengers. Two are Pompey’s friends and the other two teenagers whom he had just met. However, Pompey just suffered minor injuries. Judges said that he uncontrollably hit the tree as it rolled down an embankment. He had found guilty of aggravated causing death by dangerous driving as well as driving without license and drink-driving. Credit has been given to Pompey however, the judge still impose a lengthy jail term on him. Pompey was also banned from driving for 10 years.


My comments:
Road accident is increasing day by day. Every year, thousands of people die in road accidents due to their or others fault. Ignorance of traffic rules and their non-observance results into accidents, fatal injuries or permanent physical disabilities, loss of life and damage of properties. To prevent it, there is a need to generate awareness about traffic norms. I believe that with government intervention, educational programs and law enforcement it helps to curb the increasing levels of road accidents and fatalities. Our responsibility as road users is to obey the traffic rules as well as care for the safety for other road users as well.

Aunt and children found in bush

A Darwin man has been jailed for nearly three years for having a sexual relationship with a boy 55 years his junior. The 69-year-old man was arrested for child sex offences in March this year, shortly after he lodge a report to police that he had been assaulted and robbed at his Darwin home. After questioning him about the robbery, police has discovered and got the evidences that he had been maintaining a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy for more than two months. The Northern Territory Supreme Court heard the boy was with a group of other men during the robbery, but did not take part in the incident. The old man pleaded guilty to have sex with the boy, show him an erotic film and get him involve in drugs. He has been sentenced to four years and two month with a non-parole period of two years and 11 months.

my view: the police and serchers have done a good job and should keep up the good work. I just want to point out a good job done by the searchers and police as they really put high commitment while carrying out thier tasks. However, it would be better if this work practice should be implemented in every fields. (reminder: For us as a student, don't forget to practise it)

comment:
i am speechless after reading this news and can't imagine how this issue can
arise in our society. Moral values,self-respect and one's ability to distinguish between right and wrong are faded in our society. The old man has destroyed the future of the boy and at the same time showing him a dark side in society.In my opinion, parents need to pay close attention to their childrens as well as give them a family love. I think this is one of the important elements to shape them into a wise person.

TV viewing 3

Invention of television has attracted viewers of all ages, ranging from young to old (Leigh 2001). Estimation points out that more than ninety per cent of families in developed countries own at least one television set (Sharif 1999). According to American Time Use Survey (2003), the statistics have confirmed that more hours per day have been spent by both women and men on watching television rather than other leisure and sport activities. Many psychologists and parents are worried about excessive television viewing as televisions are available to children everytime at home. However, instead of emphasizing only on unhealthy and excessive viewing habits, we should realise that television is actually grossly beneficial in many terms. Accordingly, I strongly believe that television viewing brings more good than harm because it helps to enhance our thinking skill, develops enormous fields of information, as well as acts as entertainment to the viewers.


Firstly, television viewing helps to enhance the thinking skills of viewers. Discussion among family members in order to find the best possible way in solving different conflicts arisen in the television programmes helps to boost the viewers’ critical thinking skills. Besides that, this is an important basic skill needed in both social setting and at school (Sharif 1999). The critical thinking is further improved through a wide range of human problems ranging from globalisation to homelessness which are continuously present in various television programmes (Leigh 2001). Overall, by watching various significant issues on television, the development of thinking skill is improved.


Secondly, various television programmes provide a wide variety of information to its viewers, both young and old. Television acts as popular teaching tool to students. This is because, through viewing and listening process, students tend to understand and retain information better than reading mean. On top of that, through a unique and attractive technique in presenting various subjects, television, therefore assists better understanding to all range of learners. Besides that, pre-schoolers are encouraged to learn fundamental knowledge like numbers, alphabets, colours and vocabularies before schooling through the programs like ‘Play School’. Local as well as world’s latest breaking news are easily accessible through television (Leigh 2001). In addition, viewers can get themselves closer to the culture, world, and animal kingdom as well as complete the most complicated step in scientific equation in an entertaining and enjoying manner (Rutherford 2002). In short, television programmes provide an additional dimension for learning.


Lastly, television is an exciting medium in entertaining their viewers. Watching television can definitely be a good way to get the body feels calmer after being overloaded by various tasks at work and at school. Due to increasing demands and expectations placed on them, young people are surrounded by enormous problems related to stress and frustration. By engrossing in watching television programmes, young people are likely to forget for a while their problems. Besides minimizing the costs of overstressed, it helps viewers to refresh themselves as well as provides a better concentration on things. This is needed in order to achieve a more balanced view of problems. Briefly, television acts as an entertainment mean to the viewers after the hard day of daily tasks (Rutherford 2002).


As a conclusion, I strongly support that television viewing bring more good than harms as it helps to improve the critical thinking, provides wealth information as well as entertains the viewers. Although, many people have criticised that television can adversely affects the development of the thinking processes as well as the health of the children but all this only happens for those who watch television excessively. All in all, I strongly assert that television viewing brings more goods than harms.

Junk Food Essay Final Draft

The term ‘junk food’ is referred to as any food that is believed to be unhealthy and of low nutritional value (Smith 2005). Based on Australian Nutrition Journal (2004),most of the popular snack foods such as biscuits, cookies, and hamburgers are of low nutritional value. According to Lin Tran (2005), increased availability and consumption of fast food significantly contribute to the falling of the nutritional value of food consumed by Australian children. Besides the low nutritional value, junk food is also being blamed for the soaring in the cases of childhood obesity. I strongly believe that the sale of junk food should be banned because it causes health and environmental problems as well as affects the behaviours and the academic performance of students.


Firstly, junk food is unhealthy. It is commonly high in fat, salt, or sugar and rich in synthetic flavour enhancers (Smith 2005). Chemical additives that contain in most junk foods help to improve the flavour, colour, as well as prolong their shelf life. Besides that, it has been further justified that the consumption of products such as instant noodles and potato ships fuels the kilojoules intake and contributes to the problem of weight gain. Research has been done and it concludes that selling of junk food in school canteens leads to weight gain problem. This is even worse as childhood obesity causes heart disease, osteoarthritis, and some cancers (Tran 2005). Overall, junk food worsens the health of students.


Secondly, junk food wrapping can be directly linked to trash problems. Consequently, this litter increases cleaning cost as it is a safety and health hazard. In addition, the image of our communities can be polluted from the irresponsible disposal of this fast food wrapping (Smith 2005). According to Jack Green in ‘The Food Show’ website (2005), the sale of junk foods has caused the school canteens to face a major problem with litter. On the other hand, reduction in litter encourages the school to spend extra time on maintenance projects that benefit the school. As a result, the sale of junk food should be banned as it has triggered litter problems and has increased many other related problems.


Thirdly, junk food affects students’ behaviour and their academic performance. According to Smith (2005), many of the additives contained in junk food cause behavioural problems in children. Hyperactivity and poor concentration are some of the examples. This has been further explained that the students’ learning capability is reduced as they cannot receive the nutrients needed for healthy development and growth when junk food is made available in school everyday. Research has been done and it summarises that by cutting down unhealthy foods in children’s diet, children’s behaviour is improved. Moreover, teachers have noticed the progressive behavioural improvement of students in class after the removal of junk food and soft drinks from school canteens (The Food Show 2005).


As a conclusion, I strongly support that the sale of junk food should be banned in school canteens as it has many negative impacts on the health and behaviour of students as well as leads to litter problems in school compound. Although junk food is cheap to manufacture, easy to store and could help the school to generate high profits, school authorities still have to make sure that canteens are freed from any junk food as it will bring many detrimental effects to our next generation.

This is even worse as childhood obesity can cause heart disease, osteoarthritis, and some cancers (Tran 2005). Overall, junk food worsens the health of students.


Secondly, junk food wrapping can be directly linked to trash problems. Consequently, this litter increases cleaning cost as it is a safety and health hazard. In addition, the image of our communities can be polluted from the irresponsible disposal of this fast food wrapping (Smith 2005). According to Jack Green in ‘The Food Show’ website (2005), the sale of junk foods has caused the school canteens to face a major problem with litter. On the other hand, reduction in litter encourages the school to spend extra time on maintenance projects that benefit the school. As a result, the sale of junk food should be banned as it has triggered litter problems and has increased many other related problems.


Thirdly, junk food affects students’ behaviour and their academic performance. According to Smith (2005), many of the addictives contained in junk food cause behavioural problems in children. Hyperactivity and poor concentration are some of the examples. This has been further explained that the students’ learning capability is reduced as they cannot receive the nutrients needed for healthy development and growth when junk food is made available in school everyday. Research has been done and it summarises that by cutting down unhealthy foods in children’s diet, children’s behaviour is improved. Moreover, teachers noticed the progressive behavioural improvement of students in class after the removal of junk food and soft drinks from school canteens (The Food Show 2005).


As a conclusion, I strongly support that the sale of junk food should be banned in school canteens as it has many negative impacts on the health and behaviour of students as well as leads to litter problems in school compound. Although junk food is cheap to manufacture, easy to store and could help the school to generate high profits, school authorities still have to make sure that canteens are freed from any junk food as it will bring many detrimental effects to our next generation.

Global warming has become a major environmental issue since the past few decades. Many scientists and geologists are concerning about this ecological change. Global warming is a gradual rising of the average temperature of the earth atmosphere due to the excessive emissions of greenhouse gases. The rate of greenhouse gases in the earth atmosphere especially carbon dioxide is increasing at an alarming rate. Naturally, greenhouse gases keep the earth at the temperature that is livable. However, the rapid elevation of these gases in the earth atmosphere traps more of the outgoing infrared and warms up the entire world. There are some ramifications that are going to be taken place in the near future and everyone must cooperate in finding solutions to fight against global warming.


The first potential effect of global warming is the rising of sea level. Since the earth is experiencing the heat, the rising temperature also warming up the ocean. Water is expanding as the oceans are heated and slowly increase the sea level. According to Albert Gore, the main character in the film An Inconvenient Truth (2007), actual ocean temperature increases at a rate higher than it had been predicted by the scientists. The problem becomes even more serious when the North and South poles are heated up tremendously. The vigorous melting of glaciers and ice drains more water into the oceans causing the low lying cities like Florida, Beijing, Shanghai, Calcutta, and Manhattan have a growing potential of sinking underwater. According to scientists, an average rising in the sea levels could be from 10 cm to 1 m by 2100 (Woodford 2006). Overall, global warming causes significant rise in the sea level which in turn brings tremendous damages to the world.


Another potential effect of global warming in term of climate change is the undesirable change in ecosystem. A sharp change in climate forces the plants and animals to experience extinction. Plants and animals are migrating toward the poles in order to survive due to climbing temperature. However, those species may end their lives as they fail to migrate and respond to the sudden rise in temperature. Riebeek (2007) illustrates that 20-30 percent of plants and animals will be under extinction if temperatures rise more than 1.5 to 2.5 degree Celsius”. Besides that, the increase in ocean temperature creates stronger storm. Big hurricanes, tornadoes and typhoons occurred over the last few years which brought significant damages on earth as well as their inhabitants. In addition, warmer temperatures have altered the growing season in many regions of the earth. Longer growing season puts the forest under the risk of fires due to inadequate water sources. As a result, the biodiversity of the earth is affected seriously by global warming.


Global warming is a serious problem that needs to be solved. According to Albert Gore, the main character in the film An Inconvenient Truth (2007), it is deeply unethical to allow this problem continues to happen. The fundamental ways are by cutting down the carbon dioxide emissions and increase the efficiency by using less energy. For a start, use more energy-efficient electrical appliances such as using energy -saving fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent lamps. Besides that, we should change our lifestyle. This can be achieved by using renewable technologies, transport efficiency, other-end use efficiency, and carbon-capture-and-storage technologies. Global warming can be combated if we change our old habits and change the way we live (An Inconvenient Truth 2007).


In conclusion, global warming brings many negative effects in term of climate change. Prompt action must be taken to overcome further damages on our earth. Everyone of us contributes to global warming. Choices are in our hands and we have the power to change it if we find a way to make sure that the warnings are heard and responding (An Inconvenient Truth 2007). Hence, every nation must cooperate in solving the problem. It is essential for the society to realize the impending danger of this problem and then work together to help our mother earth.

Taxi hijacked in knifepoint attack

TAXI driver robbed at knifepoint after picking up passengers in Mount Barker, Phillip Street.
A TAXI driver held at knifepoint and taken on a terrifying half-hour ride through Adelaide by a group of thugs - including two women who threatened to kill him - was more worried about the public than his own safety.

Amin Jan, 23, feared people would be killed when his mini-bus was hijacked by eight knife-wielding bandits and driven "recklessly" through the Hills early yesterday morning.

One man held a knife to his side and forced him into the back seat of the vehicle, while another took over the wheel and started speeding down the Princes Hwy towards the city.

Mr Jan, an engineering student who arrived in Australia from Pakistan in July and drives for Mt Barker Taxi Service, picked up the six men and two women from an address in the town's centre about 1.30am yesterday.

Once on the freeway, a male passenger in the front seat persuaded him to pull over so he could use the toilet. But when he returned to the vehicle the drama began.


"When he came inside the van he just put something on my neck, I thought it might be a ballpoint or something, I thought he was joking," Mr Jan said. "Then I was told to step out of the car and then I was sure that it was a knife. He just started to push it a little harder.

"Then he showed me, `I've got a knife', then he put it here (against my neck) again."

Mr Jan was then forced into the back seat where another man held the knife against his side and the first man took the wheel.

"The girls were like, `if you do something wrong we will kill you'," he said. "So many things were going in my mind ... what if he hits the van, maybe he'll kill somebody else."

When the journey finally ended just after 2am on Philip St, near the Adelaide Remand Centre, one of the men came at Mr Jan with scissors, cutting the cabbie's hand. The attackers stole the van's GPS unit and set fire to the front passenger seat before fleeing.

A police spokesman said inquiries had been made at the address where the group had been picked up. Detectives are also hoping to find security camera footage of the incident.

An unfazed Mr Jan said he will return to work this weekend. "I really like to drive the van .... and come across some really nice people every time, except this time."

Past year 22 per cent rise in of homeless in Sydney


The rise comes more than a year after the federal government's pledge to halve the number of homeless nationally by 2020.

In a white paper on homelessness launched in December 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd pledged to outlay $1.2 billion over four years to build new housing and increase services for the homeless.

But the City of Sydney council says the problems are actually getting worse.

There were 416 people sleeping on the inner-city streets, or in a temporary overnight shelter, when the latest count was conducted on Tuesday between 1am (AEDT) and 3am.

The count, which takes place twice a year and has been running since 2008, was conducted by 146 volunteers, including those who were or had previously been homeless.

Those sleeping rough were found in suburbs including Woolloomooloo, Kings Cross, Paddington, Glebe, Surry Hills, Ultimo and Redfern.

The figure is 22 per cent higher than those counted in February 2009.

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the situation was worrying and had to change.

"Our street counts show a concerning, consistent rise in the number of people counted sleeping in our parks, streets, trains, train stations and in overnight temporary shelters since we started conducting these counts in August 2008,'' she said today.

She says the City of Sydney is committed to ending chronic homelessness through funding and coordinating a number of services and projects.

Despite continuing problems with issues of homelessness, welfare advocates say they're not keen to throw cold water on the government's 2008 white paper on the issue.

"It's not all talk and no action,'' the Wayside Chapel's Graham Long told AAP.

"And a lot of the talk is very good talk.''

That said, Reverend Long said the problem could not be addressed by merely "flicking a switch''.

"It's a problem that, if we are going to make progress ... it will be a progressive, slow kind of thing,'' he said.

"And I think most of us believe progress can be made.''

Reverend Long named the adoption of the Common Ground concept, which began in New York in 1990, as a worthwhile outcome of the 2008 white paper into homelessness.

The aim of the concept is to build and operate a range of housing options for homeless and low-income individuals.

It has recently been taken up in most Australian states.

In August 2009, former NSW premier Nathan Rees announced a purpose-built building in Camperdown, in Sydney's inner west, to accommodate homeless people and people on low incomes.

The project will be based on the Common Ground model.

In 2008, Mr Rudd's wife, Therese Rein, was appointed patron of the Common Ground network in Australia.

"In one sense, it's a way of diverting money away from teaching homeless people how to play the guitar and giving them a roof over their head first,'' Reverend Long said.

He said people living in housing projects based on the Common Ground concept were encouraged to take an interest in their community.

"It's like (being on a) body corporate, almost,'' he said.

"I see that as coming out of the white paper and I see it as very positive.

"But it's only a start,'' he added.

Kids' sex talk leaves teachers 'helpless'
From: The Mercury January 31, 2010 2:57PM
Teachers are "horrified" about the conversations primary school students are having about sex. Source: The Daily Telegraph
"Students boasting about oral sex"
Using explicit language
Teachers feeling "helpless"

TEACHERS are overhearing Tasmanian primary students boasting about having oral sex.

Roz Madsen from the Australian Education Union (AEU) said teachers "felt helpless" at how to deal with the problem, The Mercury reported.

"The students are talking about what they have done on the weekend, sexual experiences that they are having," she said.

"It seems to be happening at earlier ages."

She said at a recent AEU forum, teachers had described what children in grades 4 and 5 talked about.

"They are talking about oral sex and saying they are doing it. Who knows if they are or are just boasting, I hope they are not," she said.

"And the language as well, it's quite explicit, nothing is left to the imagination."

Family Planning Tasmania's chief executive Sue Williams said teachers were "horrified" at the conversations on Monday mornings when kids compared what they had done on the weekend.

"All sorts of sexual activities," she said.

"Oral sex has become the new kissing. It's easy and you don't get pregnant."

She said for some children, their first knowledge of sex was through pornography on computers or mobile phones.

Sexting was also a growing problem, where kids send explicit photographs of themselves to others on mobile phones.

Ms Williams said teen pregnancy remained an issue and the centre had heard of 12 and 13-year-old girls falling pregnant and a 14-year-old giving birth to her second child.

Relationships had evolved and school kids now had "friends with benefits" and multiple sexual partners rather than a steady mate, she said.

Ms Madsen said body image was an emerging issue and teachers were reporting kindergarten kids were worried about how they looked.

In March, Family Planning, the AEU and other groups including Parents and Friends and Relationships Australia will join forces at a forum to call for sex and relationship education to be part of the school curriculum.

The Education Department leaves it to individual schools to decide how to offer this, which Ms Williams said meant the quantity and quality varied dramatically.

"Teachers say there is no central policy so they feel quite vulnerable to take it on," she said.

Education Department spokesman Bob Phillips said parents had a role to play in teaching their children about sex and relationships.

"Schools are only partially responsible," he said.

Coming back again after having lunch with my friends. We went to Deli again today. Everyone seemed enjoyed and have appetite at this cafe. Today i ate mixed rice as my lunch and soybean drink to fill up my hungry stomach. While eating we kept on chit-chatting. Just eating half-way, i am very full. Maybe the soyabean drink made me full. Anyway i kept on eating. Finally i managed to cleared up my plate. Just left a small bowl of soup and soyabean drink half of the bottle. I tried my best to finish up the rice..If not my friends would surely nagging at me "You always waste food"or "You always left something on your plate". I don't want to hear this again so i forced myself to do so. After we all cleared up our plate, we walked off the cafe but i felt like want to vomit out. It really full. We walked back hostel under the hot and sunny weather. Climbing up the stairs with full stomach was a bit tiring. Luckily i stay at second floor only. As the door opened i straightaway lying on my bed and turning on my laptop. huh. Finally got back in my small room..it quite cold and that made me felt sleepy. However, i kept my eyes opened and continued with checking mail and facebook.

Good Morning!!!!

See u again this early in the morning probably it is early morning for many people especially my friends. They still enjoying their sleep. Last night i slept around 1am after chatting with my roomate for awhile. After my roomate turned off the light my mind still fresh. I kept thinking many things. Many different topics come in my mind during that time and i am dimly remembered it when i woke up this morning. After closing my eyes i still thinking and thinking. This is usual for me here. I don't know what time i slept last night but this morning i wake up about 8 something.
Staring at the ceiling for a while, i picking up my magazine which is on my bed since last night and flipping it from one page to the next. Actually this is not right time for me to read a book but no choice, so i juz continued reading. One topic was so interesting. So i keep reading on. After brushing my teeth and came back to my room, i thinking what iam going to do after this or maybe today. i told myself don't think to far. hahaha...so i take this chance to online and blogging again. At first i don't like to write something in my blog cause i have to squeezed my mind and write something interesting. But now thing already changed. I write everything that pop-up in my time, so i enjoy blogging so much now. From this i learned and realised something. Don't aim for the perfect but find out your ability to do it. Today we are going to enroll at the mph if i am not mistaken. Tomorrow we will back to the reality. starting our new battle in inti.hahaha...but it alright we fight in group,"a group of cheerful friends". Today still free nothing to do but maybe tomorrow will be fulled of homeworks. That is the reality of college life. Everyone has to endure it. This second semester i just left 6 subject in total and some lecturers are no longer teach us this year. No more SOFA and MPW. But we have to take one new subject that is moral education. This subject quite familiar to most of us especially non-muslim as we had learnt it since primary school but perhaps this time slightly different or maybe totally new to all of us. Most of our classmate had came back since yesterday morning and some still staying at home and enjoying the end of holiday. Tonight, everyone must gathers at inti and inti bacomes colourful again. Now i have nothing to write but i still want to continue...hahaha..tick tock!! tick tock!!! yeah one more thing i would like to share with u all. Last nite my mum called me and i could merely hear a baby was crying. That is my nephew. He is juz 5-month-old. My mum asked me to sing a song to him. This is what i usually do when i am at home to feed him a milk. After i sang the"twinkle little stars" song the sound slowly dissappeared. What a miracles. I can stop him from crying..hahaha..or perhaps he is tiring or what, but i am very proud of myself. I hope to see and play with him as soon as possible. He made my life full of happiness and he being one of friends when i am getting bored at home.hahaha..remember!!!
MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!

i has juz came back from having dinner with my friends at Deli. What a nice noodles!!! it yummy..so now is my free time. nothing to do now, so the best option is blogging. I want to share with you all my new year celebration for this prosperous year. On 31th dec i went to my friend house.. They organised the countdown party so i went there earlier. i reached her house at evening about 4pm and when i arrived, i was really surprised. She was sewing the curtain. So i ask her do u really know how to sew??? she kept explaining me have to start with this and then continued with that.i got blurred. after an hour shesaid she going to send it to the expert..hahahaha..i kept laughing at her..and at night we practised to sing the songs that we going to sing on countdown night..although i knew my voice was not very sweet but just enjoyed it. The next day, i had awoken by my friend's mum. Her parent went to wet market to buy fresh seafoods and vegetables. Many people came to helped us. The time move very fast. When i looked at the clock, it is already 7 something in the evening .

today 2nd day of 2010, i am at my college now with my roomate. i came back here yesterday evening with my friends from kedah too, joane and reached here about 8 pm.After one hour on the flight, we safely landed at lcct. i am not really know how to get the bus back to college. anyway, we tried to walk out. Standing there for a while, we saw an airport liner bus, which i quite familiar with it because it always passed by our college. So i walked there but a bit slow because many people there and my luggage also heavy too. i pulled as hard as i can and finally we made it. Yeah!!! tht the bus back to inti. climbing up the bus was very hard and tired for me as i have 3 luggage in total, so my friend helped me to carry one bag. Thanks so much ya..it was quite a long journey travelled from lcct to klia because of the long runway..haha..it is getting dark and we still in the bus..haiz.. what time we going to reach our college...oh one more thing to share was the condition in bus. It was very packed and luckily someone stood up to let me sat down. Thank you very much. although tiring with all my luggage but its alright. We reached at klia and the bus driver asked us to change the bus but when i climbed up the bus, again the bus driver ask us to wait another bus..ha???? what??? why good luck not on my side today...sitting there for a while finally the bus was coming...and again i have to carry my bags up the bus..huh..i am sweating. getting hotter and hotter. i felt a bit headache as from a warm and heat place we sat in a air-conditioned bus. after about 45 minutes we reached our second home.. INTI...we walked up to our room. what a surprise!!! my roomate came back earlier than me. knocking the doors many times but still no answer from her so i opened the door but where is she??? i walked to the washroom to find her out but no people so i decided to call her. actually she is at deli restaurant having dinner with her later... sitting on the bed in my room, i thinking back the moments when i am at home with my family and a friends was totally different from here. anyway we came here to study not to enjoy.. enjoying 2 months holiday at home was the best time for me. theoritically it is a long holiday for many people but for me practically not enough.hahaha..its okay..came back here we have to adapt to the new environment. gambateh !!!u can do it this time...remembering my first semester here was a tough time for me.. i really felt homesick..Away from home was a big challenge for me because my home, family provided and gave many things that i can't expressed it in words. However i am adult now. i have to be more independent and experiences daily life by myself..maybe i am youngest in my family that made me felt like this.. i do not know what had happened to me???? never never felt like this before.. but this time came back i had made my heart. enjoy it.. don't worry..u can get through this...here i have many cheerful friends and lecturers..so i surely enjoy it...stop the sad story and have a fresh start in this new year...forgot averything bads about the past and cherish the good..after 1st night in inti, today i woke up a bit late.. talking with my roomate until 1am plus with a late countdown party on 31th dec night made me felt very exhausting...zzzZZZ..only three of us came back early. we walking out to have our lunch and went to AO to get back our keys and we i planned to go giant to buy some essential things that i need. We were worrying and tiring waiting for the bus to come and the time to came back we have went through the same things. We also have to walked a long distances to the shopping mall. it is about one kilometer away from the place we got down the bus..While we were walking i can heard my roomate breathing very loud..it looked like she very and really tired...i am laughing at her and we all laughed. hahaha.. i hoped u don't mind ya...hahahaha...that all for me this time...happy new year everyone!!!!
