Kevin

PERSONAL RESPONSE ON KEVIN BY CATHERINE LIM

The story, Kevin by Catherine Lim, is a good story. I think that the story is very easy to understand as the writer used simple sentences. The story contains a lot of moral values that we can apply in our daily life.

I feel really thankful because I do not have a mother like Kevin’s mother. I cannot imagine how I suffer if I have a mother like that. If we see from Kevin’s side, I feel pity for Kevin. It is because her mother really strict and control everything in his life especially about his study. It is really stressful for him as a child. As we can see, his mother did not want Kevin to friend with Boon Kee as she thinks he would give bad influences to Kevin. I can imagine how Kevin’s personality would be if he continued to be stress like that. He will become an independent man as everything had been done by his mother. Furthermore, he cannot make decision on something by himself even choosing a t- shirt.

But from the other side, I think his mother had done her best for his son. Every mother in this world wants their children to be succeeded in their life. A mother’s responsibility is really big and not easy to be done. Maybe Kevin’s mother is too over about it. Maybe she should be more tolerance. Sometimes she should understand what are Kevin wants and his feeling. It is really important to maintain the relationship between them. As we can see Kevin seemed not to care about his mother’s condition after he knew his mother was hospitalized.

I promise I will be a good mother to my children soon. I want to be a strict mother like Kevin’s mother but in the same time I want to be a loving and understanding mother to them.

Me & Stage Fright!

.....Me & Stage Fright....

     One INCIDENT happened. I really cannot forget that incident! It was really embarrassed to me! 

After the incident happened, I will feel very scared to stand up on the stage and to face the audiences.

let me tell you what is the incident that I mentioned before..

    One sunny day, I  and  the other 5 my friends, was selected for representing my class for a Nasyid Competition. Our class had to combine with Pre- school class to perform a less 2 nasyid songs. 

       After 2 best songs were chosen, we practiced together  to make sure that our performance is the best. A little argument happened during our practice but we solved it so that nobody will get hurt.

      I felt very nervous before the performance. But my friends helped me to calm down a little bit by taking a deep breath. But our performance was not so good. The other groups had performed very well at night. I felt very embarrassed during our performance. There were audiences shouted at us to go out from the stage. some of the audiences were laughing during our performance (do they think we are making jokes like a clown on the stage). I felt like I not wear any clothes and want to run from the stage. But, I do not do like that, because I think that more horrible and people will think me as a coward. 

        We had done our best but, I think I do not suitable for this skill and I admit that I got no talent in Nasyid. That is my sincere declaration..Haha

I can not forget this for my whole life!

Solution!

Hurm..solution?

what I can write about it?

I can see a figure of water in a glass or  a long calculation if I think about solution. There are many definitions of solution.

when I got this topic, I felt very excited.  After that I asked my friend, what I can write about this topic. I really blurred a that time.

 I spent a lot of time thinking what I am going to write about this topic..

       Lastly I got idea what I want to write about this topic. I want to tell you guys about my experience to find best solution to my problem. It happened 2 years ago, after I got my SPM 's result. My problem was I had to choose where I want to further my study. Seriously, it really CONFUSING ! I had to choose whether to enter matriculation college, UITM or IPG...

      Actually the offers that I got were not what I want. My mother said softly to me" Angah, I hope you make best solution to your problem. Otherwise you will regret for your whole life. Take a deep thinking and think about your future. Choose what you will not regret soon.If you ask my opinion, I will encourage you to enter IPG. I really hope that you will be a teacher. But, it's on your own."

.......Many ways that I had done to find a best solution to my problem. I went to ask my others family members, asked my teacher's opinion and also got some advices from my friends. I also prayed to Allah s.w.t for help and guidance.

      I After took a deep thinking, I finally come out with my best SOLUTION! Solution that I will not regret for whole my life. Thanks to my princess of heart ( my mom).

The Journey of a Drover

The drovers had to overcome the problem of the long journey by providing sufficient foods for their cattle. The drovers had to rely on the food that could be found along the way. They also have great skill in manoeuvring the herds that often spread over distances by riding ahead on horseback. They also had to be particularly careful that the cattle did not betray into private land as they had to pay for any damage they had done. The drovers had to be on the look-out for farms and blow a horn to warn the farmer of their approach so that their herds will not mixed up. Cattle are easily frightened by sudden loud noises. It took hours to calm and gather the cattle. They also have to cope with robbers that will attack them and the herds. The drovers have to know about temperament of the animals to judge how far and how fast to drive them.
