HI ms. MT.. PLEASE READ THIS..

MY PERCEPTION OF A PERFECT DAY

My perception for a perfect day is when I wake up with my love ones. A smile is put on our faces. Sadness, fears, sorrows, worries and problems are gone. All of us will go to a park and picnic. Then go to the zoo together with my family. Its been 11 years since my last visit to a zoo which in Manila Zoo. Be able to feed the animals in the zoo. That will be exiting to do. Then watch movie together. My perception of a perfect day is when I enjoy, laugh and spend time with my family. Because since I was in high school, I never had a chance to spend time longer with my family. Being with your love one will be such a perfect day. I will be glad if I spend my perfect day with them. A perfect day where all problems are left alone. It will be more perfect when it is my favorite weather, I do not have to be at school just with my family, our health is good and we are feeling fine, with no pressing obligations, and some extra money in my pocket that I can spend any way I want and I would not allow any negative input into my mind. I’d follow a wise mans words: happiness is a choice and I choose to be happy. This is my perception of a perfect day but being with my family is already a perfect day. Without any movie, picnic or going to the zoo. Just having them by my side, hugging each other because I really miss them specially my mother and my sister (and her two children). I LOVE MY FAMILY. I LOVE MY MOTHER AND MY SISTER. :)

WHAT DOES 1MALAYSIA MEANS TO YOU?

 

1Malaysia is an ongoing program designed by Malaysian Prime Minister. For me the meaning of 1Malaysia is unity. We need to act as one that is why there is 1 in 1Malaysia. Many people do not really understand the concept of 1Malaysia. Even me, I am a bit confused about this. But on my opinion 1Malaysia concept is the idea about making all Malaysians of different ethnicity and religions to fully understand and respect each others' cultures, and to live together, work hand in hand and the sharing of responsibilities to make a better future for Malaysia in terms of social economy and political stability. There is one interview Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that Malaysians should discard their ethnic silo mentality and Malaysians must stand together, think and act as one people under the 1Malaysia concept. Lets break away from operating in the ethnic prism as we have done over so many years. This is also the meaning of the '1Malaysia' concept. We must respect each other, go beyond tolerance and build trust among each other and build trust between various ethnic groups. That is what he told on the interview. 1Malaysia should be about being equal, race especially states. As we all know west and east Malaysia has a big difference or gap. A common identity for all Malaysians regardless of race, religion or creed. No more Malaysian Indian, Malaysian Chinese, etc. We will be called Malaysians as one. But will every Malaysians be able to practice this concept since few of us has used living in this bias country?

WHAT US AS INDIVIDUAL CAN HELP TO PREVENT POLLUTION

If you really want to do something to prevent our Mother Earth from Pollution, then firstly you take a step forward. My lecturer, Ms. Tina Lights showed as one of the videos of Al Gore. He served as the vice president of United States. According to him, there are ten things you can do and how much Carbon Dioxide you'll save doing them. He's right.

Here are the ten things that he mentioned:

• Change a light ~ Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light will save 150 pounds of Carbon Dioxide a year.

• Drive Less ~ Walk, Bike carpool or take a public bus more often. You'll save one pound of Carbon Dioxide for every mile you don't drive.
• Recycle More ~ You can save 2,400 pounds of Carbon Dioxide per year by Recycling just half of your household waste.
• Check Your Tires ~ Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more then three percent. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps twenty pounds of Carbon Dioxide out of the atmosphere!
• Use Less Hot Water ~ It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-flow shower head (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds per year)
• Avoid Products With A Lot Of Packaging ~ You can save 1,200 pounds of Carbon Dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10 percent.
• Adjust Your Thermostat ~ Moving your Thermostat just two degrees in the winter and up two degrees in the summer could save you about 2,000 pounds of Carbon Dioxide per year.
• Plant A Tree ~ A single tree will absorb one ton of Carbon Dioxide over it's lifetime.
• Turn Off Electronic Devices ~ Simply turning off your Television, DVD player, Stereo, Computer and your Computer Monitor when you're not using them will save thousands of pounds of Carbon Dioxide per year.

As a student, the first thing that I will do to help prevent pollution are recycling things that can be reuse, keeping our environment clean, take a public bus instead of own car and unplugging the appliances when you are not using it. This steps can help to prevent pollution. Every little helping hand of everyone can help our earth if we added all our concern. 

 

ME AND PUBLIC SPEAKING

Public speaking is a common source of stress for everyone. Many of us would like to avoid this problem entirely, but this is hard to do. Whether we work alone or with large numbers of people, eventually we will need to speak in public to get certain tasks accomplished. And if we want to be leaders or achieve anything meaningful in our lives, we will often need to speak to groups, large and small, to be successful. The truth about public speaking, however, is IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL! If you correctly understand the hidden causes of public speaking stress. I am a college student taking architecture course. As a student, we must practice public speaking so we will be able to improve ourselves. In my level, we always have this presentation that we do in front of our lecturer and classmates. Presentation is one of public speaking. There are three things to remember to do public speaking. First is content of your message. It is a message packed with practical, easy to remember and useful information. When you do public speaking, make sure you do not memorize your speech. When you memorize, the more you prepare, the worse you will do. All you need is you have to understand your content or message in able to deliver it to audience in a great ways. Second is confidence. Knowing that what you share will be valuable and useful, and that you are the one to share it. If you have lack of confidence, you will probably shake nervously in front of your listener. The more nervous you are, the higher chance you will forget your speech. And the last one is connection. You must be able to draw the audience into the message. That’s what brings the laughter, the tears, the standing ovations. You must connect with the audience. If you practice this three things while public speaking, you will improve. The more you do public speaking the confidence you are because you are trained to speak in front of crowd. In a public speaking, you don't have to be brilliant or perfect to succeed, when you speak in public, nothing "bad" can ever happen, and you don't have to control the behavior of your audience.
