Book review #3

During the holidays, I have read a book named as '20000 thousand leagues under the sea’; this book is written by Jules Verne, an adventure story writer.

This story is mainly distributed into 3 sections, the first section is about how professor Aronnex, his manservant, Conseil and Ned Land land on the Nautilus, and how they met captain Nemo, the second section is about the exciting adventurous that they have done during the journey. The last section is about how the three people escaped from the Nautilus.

This book is a science fiction book which talks about the thought of the ‘submarine’ that hasn’t been investigated on that time. The story opens in the year 1866. Everyone in Europe and America is talking about a mysterious creature that has been sinking ships. Finally, the United States government decides to send out a ship named as “Abraham Lincoln” to capture and identify the creature. On board the ship are Professor Aronnax, his manservant, Conseil, and Ned Land, the king of harpooners. The Abraham Lincoln is attacked by the creature sometimes later. Aronnax, Conseil and Land go overboard.

The three men then find themselves on top of the mysterious creature, which is actually a submarine vessel, the Nautilus. They are taken on board and placed in a cell. Then they meet Captain Nemo, the commander of the vessel. He tells them they can stay on board the ship and enjoy freedom as long as they return to the cell if asked. They are never to leave the vessel again. Ned Land says he will not promise that he will not try to escape. Captain Nemo treats the men very well, especially Aronnex. The three people have their freedom to wander around the vessel at their leisure. During the board, Aronnex has write down what he has observed during the journey.
During their time on the Nautilus, the men experience exciting adventures. They hunt in underwater forests, visit an island with angry natives, visit the lost city of Atlantis, and fish for giant pearls. One night, while off the coast of Norway, Aronnax, Conseil and Land plan an escape as they realize they are heading toward a giant whirlpool—one that no ship has ever survived. Amazingly, in only a small dinghy they emerge safely. They awake in the hut of a fisherman. In the end of the story, Aronnax is awaiting his return to France and write down his memories of the journey that with Captain Nemo.
I really enjoy reading this book as this novel is filled with excitement, and I enjoy reading adventure stories.

Zili and Chilli
By Lim Yuet Tung

Lonely curly chilli,
Horribly, terribly ugly,
Only Silly Zili,
Suddenly, stupidly, blindly......

eat it.


Curly chilli in Zili's belly,
Happily, playfully, crazily, cruelly,
Zili’s belly's horribly painfully,
Sadly, Zili's belly,
Crazily, hotly, chilli!



This poem tells us that do not randomly eat chilli!

I have attemp to write a poem based on the thought and my feeling about my schooldays. I know there will sure have many mistakes so please feel free to make comments and remind me~ thanks.

School,
Is a place we make friend,
Or enemy,
Is where we have fun,
Or get bored.

School,
Is a heaven,
Is a prison,
Is where we scare,
Is where we love.

School,
Like an animal farm,
There are squirrel,
There are pig.

School,
Is where we lost our kidnesses,
And where we became mature,
Is where we lost our creativity,
And where we became logic.

School,
Is where we learn new things,
Is where motivate our live,
Is where we could never forget,
Is where we love.

The Son is in Secondary School by Affian Sa’at

My badge has a Latin motto
Hope for the future
The future is hope
Or something

At times black crows try to interrupt
When we sing the National Anthem

It is difficult to maintain
The whiteness of my shoes
Especially on Wednesdays

I must admit there is something quite special
About the bare thighs of hardworking scouts

The Malay chauffeurs
Who wait for my schoolmates
Sit on the car park kerb
Telling jokes to one another

Seven to the power of five is unreasonable

On Chinese New Year
Mrs Lee dressed up
In a sarong kebaya
And sang Bengawan Solo

The capital of Singapore is Singapore

My best friend did a heroic thing once
Shaded all A’s
For his Chinese Language
Multiple-choice paper

In our annual yearbook
There is a photograph of me

Pushing a wheelchair and smiling
They caught me
At the exact moment

When my eyes were actually closed

5 easy way to become happy!!!

1)Be Grateful

Think about the things that are make you feel good in your life every day.

2) Practice Time Management

One thing we all have in common is that we share the same amount of hours in a day and the same amount of days in a year and although we say it often enough, we don't realize enough that time is far too valuable to waste.
Time Management is basically a list of rules. And the rules of it can help us to waste less time. First we have to set our goals, then we need to plan them, we have to make our To Do lists and we need to prioritize them.
If you use these basic skills you will be able to work through and finish your list on a daily basis, which will help you to experience feelings of happiness and contentment.

3) Work Hard

Working hard creates enormous personal satisfaction. When you have finished certain tasks you will feel that you are capable to accomplish things. And that will help to have a sense of value about ourselves.

4) learn new things

When you learn new things, you will sure feel happy as you are able to use a new skill. Like me, when I learn a new fomulae on Math, I will create some question based on it and try to do it again. You will feel extremely happy when you found that you are able to solve it.

5) Help Other People

Each individual feels energized, good and warm about himself after helping another person. Be a volunteer somewhere, be a practical or financial help to someone or see how you can otherwise contribute to society. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return.

I hope this post will help you realize that these self motivation tips are the key to happiness. And don't be worry or cry because of some small cases.

Music Smart
Obejective : Select a piece of ambient piece of music that is suitable for the opening scene of Lamb to the Slaughter. Explain the reasons for your choice.
I have scored highest mark on the music smart. When I saw the question, I have decided to choose question A because I dont like songs with horrible effect . I prefer sentimentle songs with soothing effect. I found a music that i think very suitable for the opening scene of Lamb to the Slaughter.
That is "Only You - Romantic saxophone music" which can be found in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8ltzqYtW9Y .

I think this music is very suitable because it is romantic, has a loving feeling. Also, the music is played by sexophone which make this songs very touching. Beside that, the song is to express one's love to another. Just like Lamb to the Slaughter, the wife loves her husband very much at the beginning of the story. However, this song is very hard to express in words so you must listen to this song first.

The different between Lamb to the Slaughter, Male Child and Love.

First, we talk about Lamb to the Slaughter. It is written by Roald Dahl. This is my favorite story of the 3 stories. I'm sure that this story must be written by an intelligent writer. It has a great climax when Mary Maloney killed her husband. I learned that when humans are motivated to kill another because of hate, the consequence is serious. Why Mary so love and care for her husband? Its because her husband had treated her well. Also, Mary Maloney was an intelligent woman that after using a frozen lamb to kill her husband, she quickly put the frozen lamb into the oven to terminate the evidence. So, you see, don't try to betray anyone, or you will get punishment. (Click here to watch the video of Lamb to the Slaughter.)

Now let's talk about Male Child. It’s about Chuan Poon, who is very eagle to have a male child. When his wife is pregnant again, Chuan Poon believes he is blessed with 6girls due to his sins. Then he meets another girl and fall in love with her. He promises the girl if his wife gives birth to a female child again, he will marry her. It has an unexpected ending. The story ends suddenly, so i must think myself what happen then. It has some similar point with Lamb to the Slaughter. In these two stories, the husbands do not appreciate the love and care of their wife. All bad husbands.

How about the story "Love"? I don't enjoy this story. Its twist keeps repeating. This makes the readers feel boring after reading for a while. Its about how Pearl choose her rightful husband and she dumps the man one by one...... She believes she has found a good husband Frankie but she dumps him because of his sick father. She is scared that the illness may be territory and she does not want to live with a sick husband. I really hate this kind of fake love. (The story Male child and Love can be found in the book Little Ironies which written by Catherine Lim)

Always play this song while looking on my blog~~^^

Caution!!!

To be happy, remember no smoking at all~~~ if not your lung will be as dirty as the monster's. 70 out of every 100 people who smoke wish they didn't, yet they go on smoking. Why? Because nicotine is an insidious addiction. It weaves its way into the fabric of our lives, attaching itself to every activity and every emotion we have, until we think that, without our cigarettes, we won't be able to function properly or enjoy life.

If you like being able to breathe and don't want to end up in hospital with lung cancer, then please quit smoking now! If you still in love with somebody, why don't you stop poisoning your body?

If you want your gums starting to look horrible and have bad teeth , If you want to waste time, energy, health, money... if you want to die faster because of cancer, then please smoke! I really hate people who smoke everyday like my uncle who was sent to hostital because of smoking last year. But now, he had quit smoking. It is never too late to quit smoking. He become better and better, he seems begin regrowth. So, please quit smoking now. (if you are not a smoker, please don't ever try to SMOKE!!!!!!)

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction and pleasure. (adapted from wikipedia) Someone ask me why is happiness so important? I said if you are happy, you will make people around you feel happy. Happiness is no mystery. Most people are quite clear about what happiness is, and can easilly describe how happy or not they are. Most people also consider happiness their most important goal in life. Happiness definitely rules!

Why we say 'happy' birthday? Because people think that birthday party is a party that will make us feel happy. And why people say 'happy holliday'? So, you see? happiness is so important to us. How would it be if we say 'sad birthday', 'sad holliday'? How would it be if happiness disappeared from our earth? Think about it. ~~~
