           Out of all pictures that I have, this is the picture that I treasure the most. This picture was taken about 3 month ago. I was treasured this picture the most because it was taken for the first time I get my set of bowling ball and bowling shoes. My favorite things to do when I have free time is bowling, my only alternative to life. I love to bowl. Nobody on the face of this Earth can stop me from picking up a bowling ball. That would be like trying to stop a hurricane. Bowling is a very tough sport. Even though I'm not a pro and the ball is a bit expensive to buy, but it's not a boundary for me to love doing it. All my family also like to play bowling especially my dad. My dad always join any tournaments which is related to bowling. My cozen also active with bowling and now he is one of the Malaysian bowling players.

      After analyzing the types of learner, I would say that I am The Boffin. People often say I have got a good memory or excellent general knowledge. From childhood, when I start to read a books sometime I can memorize all the words. It really help me with exams especially for subject like History. But my parents advice me to change the way I learn because its not really good for my brain by memorizing all the words. I don't know how to do it. It just seems to stick. I like to know anything and everything by myself. However, I believe it's never to late too change. I told myself immediately to start improving my learning skills. To improve myself, I have to change the way I learn now and try to avoid my weakness which is taking a long time to understand when other people try to explain something that I don't really understand. I have to understand it by myself even though other people try to help me. When I do something works sometimes it's not really the same what teachers told me it can be wrong and it also can be perfect when I do it with my own way. Sometimes we have to push ourselves to learn because if there's no effort, we will never go anywhere. Some people can catch up easily and some are unable to do so. As a conclusion, I probably need to invest some to hang all my knowledge together because I know that I know it, but I don't always use what I know well.

           Natural disasters were few and rare in the past, but has become more frequent and devasting recently. This is mainly due to the " Modern " man indulging in all sorts of practices which are against natural laws. They brought up all the types of pollution while the Mother Nature is handling the price for their behavior. Human always blame the Mother Nature when natural disaster occurs and never thought of what they have done. I agree that natural disasters are not natural at all because obviously it is caused all by human beings. But I have to admit that not all natural disasters are not natural because there are certain phenomena occurs naturally by itself. However, there are still thoughtful humans who are trying their best to save the world. We human beings must learn how to respect Nature and should not meddle with the forces of Nature. If we do, it will bring calamity sooner or later.

         Yes, obviously everyone would be inspired by this amazing person. Nicholas James Vujicic or more known as Nick Vujicic was an Australian preacher and motivational speaker born with Tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. He struggled mentally and emotionally, as well as physically, but eventually came to terms with his disability and he started his own non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs. He said that nothing is impossible without a will. Every time you fall down, you can always get up and fight back. Even though without his limbs, he can still continue a normal life like a normal human being. I really admire him for his high fighting spirit. It must be tough if we were in his shoes. But despite complaining how hard life is being himself, he's just getting stronger each day and never thought of giving up. We should be thankful of what we have today and also grateful to God because he gave us a chance to see the world. If we have a big problem, we should not run from it, but we try our best to solve it. Nick Vujicic had a very serious disability, he just smiles and never mind about it. He did a talk to encourages other people who had perfect body figures. That was a very touching moment, when a weaker person is telling a stronger person for not giving up when life is getting harder. As a conclusion, we should follow Nick Vujicic's strong wills  and accept us as we are.

1st Reflection Topic

      Love means having strong feelings for someone that can be close friends, family or even someone in a romantic relationship. Love is a strong feeling that represents affection toward someone dear to you heart. There is no true meaning in love, love with meaning is not love.
     After listening to " Someone Like You " song, to me this songs means empowerment and finally telling yourself that you are able to move on. Its about finding your ex and seeing that they have moved on, and you, being optimistic, stubborn or determined what you want to call yourself, think you can convince them that you are still the one, only to realize that you are wrong. Even though you realize you can't have them, you simply tell yourself and possibly them that its not impossible, but you'll find someone like them. Not specifically like them, but someone to share memories and moments with and to give you that remarkable sensation of love. Not wishing bad things upon her ex and his new love, just wants him to remember their love, memories and what they shared. Its quite beautiful. This song is truly a bittersweet goodbye.
