HOW I CAN STUDY AT KPTM?

My name is Wan Nurul Nazerah binti Wan Sallehudin. I’m from Johor Bahru, Johor. I will turn 18 years old on 19^th November 2014. I have 5 siblings and I’m the fourth. Now I’m studying at Kolej Poly-Tech MARA (KPTM), Kuantan. I have registered at KPTM on 21st June 2014. Life here is very challenging and different types of people I have known. I hope I am strong enough to finish my diploma for 3 years here.

            How I can study at KPTM? It is because my parents choice. I do not know anythings about KPTM before tis until my mum ask me to fill in the application form for 2014 July intake. Then my friends also ask me to fill in it with them. Although I fill the application, I still hope my application to get in state university was passed. But unfortunately I failed. I fell very sad. Then I get many offer letter from private university and college. My father ask me to choose one that I like but I do not want because  I know the fee very expensive. Even my parents  afford but I will feel very difficult for them.

           I also get offer from Poly Merlimau, Melaka. I got a diploma in event management. I feel excited but my mum did not allow me go because the course that I get. My mum say that I can not be active agains like I’m at school before this. After a week, my friend ask me to check the name of the qualifying in form 6. I feel relieved because my name is listed. Then I register form 6. After 2 weeks at form 6, I got a letter from KPTM that my application was approved. That time I feel very confused. I want to stay  at  form 6 but my parents ask to accept the offer from KPTM. My parents give me a week to think about this.

            I asked the opinion from my  sister. My sister say “ sometimes parents choice the best ”. After I think about this, I have decided to follow my parents choice because my brother and my sisters also before this follow the advice of my parents, and now they been successful. Although I was not interested the course that I get because I most like the subject counting. Time I was at form 4, I was took course Account and I have got a grade A in SPM same with my subject Mathematic. But I’m redha and tawakal. I hope this is the best choice for my future.

FRIENDSHIP

very unique as Friends are very important in our lives. Friendships are easily formed when we are young and do not demand too much out of it. According to studies and research, humans tend to form highest number of friendships at kindergarten and primary level. However, one tends to have less friends as one grows older and wiser. This is because we realize there are good friends and bad ones.

The saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed is very apt in this scenario because good friends are those who are reliable and trustworthy. At a younger age, our demands are not too high regarding friendships as we rely mostly on our parents, siblings and relatives for important things. The friends we formed at this age are merely considered playmates rather than companions and confidants. Thus, our expectations of them are not high.

More serious friendships are formed when one enters puberty and achieves certain level of maturity. The latter allows one to forge fellowship with those who share the same interests, passion as well as similar moral and religious values. Friend always be with us whenever we need them.

One of the main reasons for among college students is that as they reach a certain level of maturity, common binding factors such as religion, customs and traditions play important role in selection of friends. Since majority of these students come from rural backgrounds where there is not much cultural interchange, they feel rather awkward to forge friendships with students of other races. However, this does not mean the students are racist or suffer from superiority complex. Thus, the collage should introduce more programs that allow cultural and religious mixing and understanding of the other.

Nevertheless, in the working world, a different scenario prevails. One finds Indians, Chinese and other races forging stable and long lasting friendships. This is most probably due the fact that to be productive in one's work, one has to believe in team work. The latter actually enhances the bond between the workers and eventually long lasting friendships are formed. In fact, this situation has even led to many inter racial marriages between the three major races. The products of the intermarriages are they have friends and relatives from both ethnics.

A LOVING FAMILY IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE

I love you are always the last words my family say to each other when soemeone leaves the house. It's because we love each other, whether we want to admit it or not. Most fa,ilies I know are very loving and kind to their relatives, because well I love them. But, the sad truth is not all kids get to grow up with caring families.

I believe having a loving family is one of the most important things in life. I remember in probably first grade, when my great-grandpa passed away. I was so young, and I can't really remember ,uch, but I do remember some of my family members breaking down into tears often. My great-granddpa was very close to us, so after him death, my family's love was probably the only thing that allowed  us to realize we needed to move on with our lives. We had each other, which was the only thing we needed. Now, looking back on the tough time in my life, I feel like it was an apportunity God gave us to prove our love to one another. It's those kinds of instance that make me believe and realize having a loving family is very well one of the most important things in life.

Every single day, when I wake up, I sometimes stop to think about how lucky I am to get to wake up and see my family every single day. I've learned they are many kids, my age, younger, and much older, that have to wake up knowing they don't have a family that cares about them, or maybe they don't even have a family at all. Thinking back to all the problems and tough time I've had in my life, I realize it was my family and their love that helped me get through them.

My loving family is my life and my strength. Without them, I would be nothing.................. my life would br miserable. I firmly believe having a loving family is one of the most important things in my life.

THE PERSON I ADMIRE THE MOST.

                   There are quite a lot of people I admire but the person I admire the most is my mom Sadila Suzana Binti Abu Salim. My mom is very pretty and she cares a lot about me, which is why I admire her the most.

                     My mom is tall and has black hair. She has dark brown eyes. My mom has a very decent and friendly personality.

                      Being selfless is a great quality that my mom has because whenever I am sick she stays up all night to look after me. She sacrifices her own needs for my requirements. My mom is also very protective about me. She gives away all her pleasures for my sake and wants me to be happy all the time.

                       My mom does a lot of hard work with me with my school's work because she dreams of me being the top student in my class. She also cooks the best food for me.

                       My first and best teacher and guardian is also my mom because she taught me when I was small and still teaches me and works very hard with me. She corrects me where I am wrong and also scolds me sometimes for my betterment. She is very understanding and knows everything in and out of me. There is no generation gap between me and my mother. My mom is also the best friend I ever had.

                       My mom does not have many habits. She is very good at doing Arts and also has some interest in designing clothes. She also loves cooking and baking things with me and my brother.

                            I love my mom very much and she also loves me. Ten maids cannot even do as much work as my mom does. Mostly every woman can be a mom but it takes a lot of courage and hard work to be like my mom.

I HAVE SEEN A GHOST

My story is very short, I do believe that we are all surrounded by spirits and ghost. I always felt the presents of spirits around me, but I will never forget my first encounter with a ghost we were face to face.

  I was about 14 years old and I was going on vacation with my family and few cousin, we going to Port Dickson we were check in at Blue Lagoon Hotel. The hotel is quite creepy for me but I just keep no saying. After check in we go to our room and but all stuff in the room. The room is so pretty not like what I was expect.

  Then me and my cousin go to swimming pool to took a picture of us. It was 9.00pm the place is quite and dark it just us in the swimming pool are. But we still go there without feeling scared of that situation. My cousin ask me to took her picture then after I took her picture there was something at her back. It was a (Pocong) at her back, it’s like four feet tall with black face and red eye. then we all run back to our room and tell my mom about what just happen to us.

  At the night I was having a problems falling sleep I felt like I was dreaming and awake at the same time. Will I remember sitting up on the bad and there was a ghost standing behind a hanging light and I saw all her features she was about 47inchis tall she wore a white night gown and her face looked pale, she wore red lipstick and her black hair was pulled back in a ponytail.

  I knew that there should not be anyone in that room , because I’m the only one sleeping in that room. So I ran to my parents room and told my parents about what just happen to me. The next day we left the hotel. But before we left my parents told to the management about what happen to me and the management say sorry to us return the money back to my parents. I was afraid and overwhelmed at the fact of seeing a ghost,  but in over all it was a great experience.

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY COUNTRY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE

What can i do to make my country a better place to life? As u guys know if we want our country a better place to live we need to take care of the environment, air, maintaining the nature environment, planting trees and having a campaign of mutual cooperation. Now days people like to smoke, do air pollution, open burning, factory smoke and others. Without realizing it, we’re doing the wrong things such as environmental damage, thinning the ozone layer and etc.

The living conditions in our city are getting worse and worse. Furthermore, the river is being polluted by chemicals from the factories and people are suffering from breathing difficulties and stomach problems. We should do something before its too late. The first thing we can do is to stop throwing litter. Also, the city should place more garbage bins. People should be more informed about the dangers of throwing your litter under the woods. This way, our city will be cleaner. One thing we can also do is to use paper and cloth bags instead of plastic bags. We can also fight against water pollution.

This way our rivers will be cleaner. People would have clean water to drink and to swim. There is also a way to fight against air pollution. It is mostly caused by factories, so we should force factories to put filters on their chimneys. We can also ban cars from the city centers and public transport should be improved, so that we could travel less and less by cars. All things considered, there are many solutions to all the problems. The better our lives will become.

Has technology made the world a better place to live ? Can someone rate it plz? Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Technology has made the world a better place to live.Even though some people say that technology has lessen our lives quality, I think that it has made the world a better place to live. Technology provides to us a better knowledge, faster ways of locomotion and communication. The computer is one important feature from technology, which is very used by people in order to increase their knowledge. Books are no longer the main way to improve the understanding of a specific matter. Universiti and College students are using a lot more the Internet, which gives to them the right information without the need going to a library. For example, a person needs to do a research about a matter just research faster than doing it in the library by hand. This technology, which created the computer, has definitely helped the universities and college students to get a better knowledge.

Nowadays, the easy ways to going out, work and vocation is using car, motorcycle, train, and airplane, has facilitated our lives. Centuries ago, the main way to travel a long distance was the ship, or the horse. Today, the airplane is the most useful way to make fast travels, which gives to us more time. For example, comparing with the ship which usually crosses the Atlantic Ocean in one or two weeks, the airplane can easily cross it.

I hope in this way can make my country a better place to live, and may socity do keep clean and keep nature our country so that can attract tourism come to our country.
