Poem 5 (Activity 5 - Receiving A Postcard)

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Sandy white beach,
Clean water,
They dived better
than us,
You saw together,
witness.

Don't you miss the good old days,
When everything was really amazed,
Like the picture,
We long for such place,
Give back to us,
Do not erase,
Won't you miss everything displaced?

This is what we learn,
Human make mistakes,
So does it can be turned,
To whom it may concern,
Please don't let it happen..

Poem 4 (Activity 4 - Sending A Postcard)

I SAW SEA SHELL ON THE SEA SHORE

I saw sea shell on the sea shore,
But now it is not like before,
I wonder what had happened,
Does it disappear?
Or too upset with the development?

She sold sea shell on the sea shore,
She now no longer there,
The business is no more,
Everything ruined, she couldn't bare.

We beg you,
Don't dirty the place,
We ask you,
Don't be disgrace,
Let us start with a pace,
And together we make it paradise..

Poem 3 (Activity 3 - Receiving A Postcard)


SO I THINK I CAN DANCE

Hey friend! Still remember me?
We once met by the sea,
I was alone, you came accompany,
Knowing you made me free.

I was upset with what happened,
U were saying something, strengthened
my feeling,
I can forget her that made me angry,
I found someone that makes me happy.

At times I was dancing alone,
It was awful,
Like a song with no tone,
But now she is here,
We dance together,
Thanks to you,
I became greater.

My wooden leg is here no more,
Give it no chance,
To be like before,
So I think I can dance.

Poem 2 (Activity 2 - Sending A Postcard)


DANCING KING

We used to dance together,
Before I became a loner,
Mow I'm dancing much happier,
Without you as my partner.

I saw therm dancing happily,
They laughed and kissed hindsight of me,
Jealousy is not in my dictionary,
Don't you hope I'm begging you coming back to me.

All by myself,
I was dancing,
No discipline,
No nothing,
I now can move freely,
The picture of the man is just like me,
Can't you see,
I'm smiling.

I don't car much of the surrounding,
Why, you ask?
I'm the dancing king..

Poem 1 (Exclusive Place)

MR. HALL

O' Mr. Hall,
or should I call you by your full name,
Living Hall..

It's the place for all,
My family gathers,
We love, cry and fall,
You are the witness,
O' Mr. Hall..

While watching television,
I might fall asleep,
You keep me sleeping,
Till I awake,
You blow me wind,
Me fly wings,
In my dream..

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak..

I think this Ramadhan is the most exciting fasting month that I ever had. The first reason would be my family had moved to Kapar, Klang and this made me easier to go back home whenever I want to. Secondly, the first Ramadhan was on 1st of September. It made me easier to count how many days of Ramadhan had passed. We always know and remember the date in Georgian calendar, but it always hard for us to know the date of Hijri Calendar. And it is much easier since Ramadhan is also the ninth month of Islam. The next reason is because I managed to save my money from buying the food at the bazaar Ramadhan. I have determined not to buy any food (except for beverage and some kuih) this time. I’d rather cook since I learnt some of the recipes from my mother and my friends. I don’t want to waste my talent (???) and money. I am not really good at cooking but it is good enough since my housemates had given me their compliments by saying that my dishes are delicious. It’s good enough for me. I will improve as time goes by, Insya-Allah.

For this Ramadhan, I have put an aim to do the Tarawikh prayer every night. If I miss to do it at the mosque, I will do it on my own at home. Besides, I want to finish (khatam) the Quran before Ramadhan ends. If I can’t do it, I will make sure I will khatam before the end of this year.

Ramadhan came only once in a year and it is the month of ibadah. I hope I will not wasting my time doing nothing. As a Muslim, I also hope that Allah s.w.t will accept all my ibadah and reward me. Insya-Allah.

My Favourite Fictional Character..

Frankly speaking, I admired female character. Why, you ask? I have my own reasons. Firstly, I have watched too many male fictional character and sometimes I can guess their movements and next actions since men sometimes do share the same thought. Secondly, I wonder how it will look like if female is to save the world. Can the female character save the world as good as the male character does? Thirdly, I feel doubt if they can do actions like the male characters do.

The fictional character that I favour the most is Piper played by Holy Marie Combs from the Charmed series. I watched this series from its very first season until its final season and never missed once. Piper had the power of freezing and blowing things out. At the early part of the series when she was first knew about her power, she can only freeze things for 5 seconds. Later, her power grew and she could even unfreeze the part of the frozen body that she froze. She had an elder sister, Prue and a younger sister, Phoebe. Being a middle child, she always became a middle person to calm these two persons who often had arguments.

When Prue died, she became a very responsible-yet-depressed mother and sister. She once divorved with her husband and later they get back together. She had gone through all the ethick and thin in her life calmly. She also possesed a new poer of blowing things out, including human and demon. She was at first found it hard to control her new power. However, with the support from her family, she managed to overcome it. Married to a white-lighter and had two very powerful magic sons, she had to protect them from them, though sometimes they protect her.

What I like the most about Piper is her powers and the way she controlled them. She did not misuse them and always helped the innocent. She also a very lovely mother and never forgot her responsible even though she had a business to run and innocents to be saved. I am really looking forward to watch other female character who has the same or more powerful than Piper. She was potrayed as a very string woman..

Zakiah takes off her leather jacket that was given by her ex-boyfriend. It was meaningful to her. But not anymore. She had to wear it since it was raining when she left home this morning. She takes something from the pocket of the jacket. It is a business card given by her client whom she met two hours ago. She turned on the radio that is placed on her dining table. it was a bit dusty. It's been a while since she listened to the radio as she is very busy with her job as an insurance agent. After 10 minutes, she goes to the cupboard and takes a bottle of herbal medicine which she should consume in order to make her fever feel better. Before eating that, she take off her silver locket with an inscription of her ex-boyfriend. She knows that she still cannot forget him. Done with the medicine, she sits back on her chair. In front of her is a rugby ball. As an ex-rugby player of her school, she keeps the ball to keep her mind track back the old memory. She then switches on her brand new laptop that she bought just now at Plaza Alam Sentral before she met her client. She found a fortune card slipped through the laptop. It must be someone else's, she thought. 'You will live happily ever after'. It is written on the card. She smiled herself. She put it on a jar on her desk that contained pencils.
