Dancing the Life's Rhythm

Hi readers! I am back again with my new post to share to you. Now, the phrase that I would like to share this time is “Dancing the Life’s Rhythm”. In my opinion, this phrase gives me a meaning that we all are the puppets that dancing according to God’s rhythm. As we all know, God gave us this life and we are just travelling to a point and living it. A human’s life starting by his or her birth and ending by death. For me, if we related to the phrase the meaning of life is on how we are living the life. The rhythm I can say that the level of life which means we will going through different stages of our lives. These stages will give us different kinds of experience and memorable moments which we will won’t forget throughout our lives. Let me share you about the stages and how our lives will be at that stages.

         Firstly, the baby stage. This is where our lives starts with a loud crying sound. This stage we will be starting to crawl, cry, smile, laugh sometimes and obviously we will be taking good care by the parents. We will gain more love from them by playing with us especially doing funny faces or singing songs for us to laugh.

       The second stage of life starts, when a child enters kindergarten school. Maybe they join the school when they around 4 to 5 years old. We cannot forget our childhood memories whether we were crying or waving our hands to our parents without any fear in our first day of school. For me, it will sound hilarious when we crying loud with pulling our parents’ hands and don’t want to go to school but it is a memory to us which will make us laugh although we get older.  Moreover, at this stage children will meet more and new friends for them to have fun. Other than that, they could be very active where they learn more new things quickly.

       The next stage is where a child enters primary school. His or her friends might join them or unfortunately not. However, it will be not stopping them by making more friends. Basically, a child will join this school at the age of 7. The school will be very formal type such as they will be having exams, home works, lessons and exercises. We will be going a little busy on our works that teachers will give us plus tuition classes. In my opinion, a major aspect that make a child stays at school is their friends. This could lead them to get a best friend on their life. Now, apart from their parents we can share our secrets or ups and downs in our lives to a person we trust and rely on.

       After that, we will be going through a stage where we enter secondary school in the age of 13 where we meet many more friends that joins a school that came from different primary schools. We will spend around seven years on that school while our bond with our friends will be very close. We have many kinds of memories in schools too. For example, getting caned by teachers with a group of friends, teasing friends, helping friends when they are problems and many more. At the same time, we should be very careful in this stage where teenagers have to be focus on their goals rather than doing bad things. This is an important stage of our lives. If we take a wrong way it will be spoiling our lives in the future. Drugs, smoking habit or gangsterism are the main problems are facing by the country nowadays. School students are the main targets. If we keep focus and move towards our objectives then surely we can achieve what we are aiming without any obstacles that turn us to the wrong way and pass with flying colors.

        Besides that, there also has a stage that we have to decide what field we wanted to study about by joining universities. Yes! University is a different type of experience. New teachers, new friends and new environment for us to study. Obviously, we have to leave our school friends in order to join different studies. We have to spend three or four years of studying in university before we move to our career stage.

       Next, our career. We will be joining work or the field we were interested on. Now, we have to leave our university friends. It is based on our relationship with other co-workers, employer or managers. After we have a job, we develop ourselves to have a house or a car and then marriage. After marriage, wife as another parent that takes good care of a husband and his family members. In this stage, our responsibility will be higher a bit as a new member joining to our family whether the individual is a husband or wife. After a year or two, we will be having a child. Now, we are already be a parents. Now, it’s our job to be good guidance to our child for he or her to go through the stages that we went in our past. This life will be going generations by generations until we get old and we will be having a lot of grandchildren around on 60 or 70 years old. Maybe, we will be telling our life stories to them to make them aware that life is beautiful. After all that satisfactions we had, finally our soul ready to take off from our body.

        The stages that I told is the life’s rhythms. From the rhythms, we just “dancing” according to the rhythms. Moreover, every stages we have to do a little sacrifice to go to the next level of our lives. For example, our friends. We have to leave our kindergarten friends, school friends, and also university friends in order to move on but we will be taking some memorable events that we did in every stages of our lives. We will not forgetting that memories. If we see our friends again in our future when we get old, we will be telling about many events or incidents that occurred in the past to recall. That is the life.

     As the conclusion, the phrase “Dancing the Life’s Rhythm” has the meaning which is we are playing in the game of life.  Our lives are short as the hours and days are moving fast nowadays. Therefore, we have to appreciate every moment we are living with and we have enjoy it. In addition, we cannot just live and die but we have to achieve something in our lives so when we die people have to feel that they lost a valuable person in their lives. Other than that, many different parts of life will give us many benefits and lessons to us.

                                                                                                                               (1156 words)

May Be.

Hi guys! Today I have a very unusual but a most common word that we use in our daily lives. Yes! You already know when you saw my post title. It is none other than the word May Be. Basically, it consist of two words which are may and be. Besides that, don’t get confused between the word maybe and may be. Both words are not the same. They have different meanings. Maybe brings a meaning of not sure or we can also substitute maybe with perhaps but may be refers to the possibility. Something which was might happened that cause something. So, now you know the meanings about both words but my point basically is for the word may be.

Basically, I wanted to pop up several questions that have the possibilities of may be…in this current global world especially in Malaysia. Moreover, the questions also refers to the current issue that is happening and also the possibility of cause that causing the events. From this questions, I hope that I can make people aware of current happenings in Malaysia and possibilities of why it is happening. The issues that I would like to present to you are about a education, sports and crimes.

Firstly, I would like to ask a question, Why the crime rate in Malaysia increasing year by year? The crimes include chain and bag snatching, suicides, murders and drugs. There is many possible reasons why this is happening. If we see from the root of these problems, the people involved in this crimes are the school drop outs. Therefore, I can say that may be they didn’t take care good care by their parents. Parents didn’t give importance to their child may cause their children do drugs. If we see in the context of bag and chain snatching, they did all these things just because of they may be in poor and they did those things for living. Suicides especially students during exam result times, we can read it in newspapers. We thought that they are not stable mentally. The other reason I can give is they may be cannot accept their result from what they put effort on it. They may be afraid of future that they cannot do anything with the results. These are the matters that made a person willing to do for anything especially for money wise or for living.

Statistics 1.1 Crime rate in Malaysia (google image)

Secondly, I also wanted to highlight about education aspect. Every year the statistics of each subject and students that got good result will be low especially on STPM exams. So, my question is why students unable to produce a good result on their examinations?  There are several possibilities. There are may be students unable to get extra educational aid such as tuitions. They have extra classes too for their extra learning in schools but it is very tough for the students for their personal understandings apart from school. I can relate this topic to my first point which is the family status. This is because a family with a poor living unable to pay tuition fees that stops students getting knowledge to better understand on the subjects. The “self learning” technique is good for the students who are clever but how about a students who is very weak? They may be didn’t want to burden their parents on going to tuition.

Next, sports. In this current days, we are looking forward to our Malaysian contingents in Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil. As we seeing, only few athletes are participating in several games. From my research, Malaysian contingent targeted only three gold medals in Olympic this time. This current happening had created a thought on me. Why people didn’t want to participate in sports and what are the methods to develop sports organization? My probable answer will be people may be didn’t take seriously on sports. They just saw it as a game but not the achievements and rewards that a player will get from his participation in sports. Other than that, they may be thought it is waste of time because only one in thousand will be qualified to participate but it is not. Every person that thinks he got the real talent, he or she can participate and make the nation proud.

As the conclusion, this may be…possibilities of why the situations are happening that can give many ways or alternatives to us to develop and find solutions to overcome those things. This is because obviously to raise the economy and to make peace of our country.

So readers! I hope you find the topic interesting and stay tuned for my next extraordinary topic! Bye! Bye!

                                                                                                                                ( 776 words)

The earth has music for those who listen

Hi readers! Once again, I came back with a new phrase today. The phrase is “The earth has music for those who listen”. The phrase has several meanings that can relate to it. In my opinion, I able to find out the meaning that hidden into it. The earth has music for those who listen tells us about the sounds or music that comes from the nature that we listen in our daily lives. It happens in our daily lives. You aware or not that every day we are influenced by music in many different ways. Music gives us many kinds of benefits to us as the humans.

       Let me start with an example of a day. When you woke up in the morning by alarm sound, listening to music when you on the way to your university or workplace, listening to radio in the office and many more. This is a day a music that can influence you. Do you believe a sound can represent a situation naturally? For example, a traffic jam situation. There will be no sound at all when it comes to traffic jam? Obviously, there will be vehicle sounds, horning sounds and several drivers voice sound yelling to the drivers. Same goes to construction work sounds.

       Next, music play an important role in our lives on developing our attitude. According to the research conducted by researchers, a 3 month baby has the ability to listen to any sound or music while the baby in his or her mother’s stomach. For example, when the baby grow listening to the rock or folk music so, the baby might become very active and energetic person. Moreover, soft type music can create a person with soft character person. These kind of person would prefer to be more polite on people and treat others in a soft way. So, this is how music creates and reflects a person’s character.

       Other than that, music also helps to release stress of a person. I am not talking about the songs but as I said earlier the music that come from nature. When you feel a kind of something, you might feel to go out for a while to have fresh air. Outside, the sound bird tweets, wind blowing through your body and trees waving sounds can make you calm and keep silent. It also gives you a feel. For example, even silence of nature also shows a calm feelings to you. For example, in a movie scenes there will be background music that supports the scene to give the feel for the scene. Fast beats and soft beats are the examples of background music for a movie that can create a situation.

       As the conclusion, I would like to mentioned that music influence a person’s life a lot in his or her daily live. That’s the phrase the earth has music for those who listen brings the meaning. At the same time, I also like to advise everyone to take care of the nature as it provides many benefits apart from music.

Am I a Brand or Bland?

Hi readers! I’m again here wanted to share something about individuals. I thought It will be nice to share the topic with you guys. It is about each personality. The phrase is like this, “Am I a Brand or Bland?” I know what you guys wondering what is it all about. You might think that it is related to a company’s brand but it’s not. Hahaha! So, here I am wanted to share about the phrase to you.

       First of all, do you know the definition for bland? Bland basically define as tasteless that refers a food. Furthermore, it is same like to a person. If it refers to a person, so bland define as uninteresting, unexcited, boring or etc. that refers to a person. Therefore, we can know that if a person called bland so, it refers to that person is boring, uninteresting and so on. But how about a Brand? Let me make a company as an example. A company well known for it’s brand. For example, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Mercedez Benz, Audi, Nissan, Starbucks are the examples of company that well know for hat brand. The names of the company is the valuable asset that are popular around the world. Therefore, a brand is very important to be well known among customers or audience with their promotions and the way they treat or care on their followers on social media or direct communication.

       So, you already know about both of the word definitions but why am I sharing a question, Am I a Brand or Bland? The answers of this question is based on both of the pictures below.

Picture 1

   Picture 2

       From above process, picture 1 shows a plastic bottle with no labels, designs or fonts that represent the bottle. After several process, when the bottle wrap up with labels with the colour of blue, fonts, fill up with processed mineral water and also gives it a name to represent it. From that, users that use the bottle knows what is the bottles brand by knowing it’s colour, labels, details and so on. From this picture example, we as the individuals is just like a bottle without anything. As a personality, we have to make ourselves as a brand that known by people. Bland not only mean a person is boring or uninteresting but the person also unknown by others. We have to be wrap ourselves with a lot of things that express ourselves to others like the bottle.

       In my opinion, as to make me as a good personality, I have to follow three rules that I have to practice it and it could make me strong till the end. Firstly, I will be sharpening my skills. Some of the people will be saying to you that you are a fool because you did wrong on something but it is not true. You are not a fool in just didn’t know how to do a work but you haven’t show your real talent. No one is a fool and they have their own talent but the way they get use to it and show it to the world is their skills to develop it.

       Other than that, attitude also a major factor on giving a “brand” to yourself. The way you behave to others will reflect yourself. Friendly, interesting, good, and funny are the positive descriptions for a person to be well known among a community. For example, if u communicate with the foreigners without any prejudice or stereotypes then, the foreigners will have good impression on you. But, you behave the opposite of that obviously, it will be a negative impact on you. So, I suggest you to show a good attitude to have a good personality.

       Finally, dedication. Hard work is also another aspect of expressing a good brand of you. If you have an objective and you eagerly wanted to achieve the goal so you definitely wanted to work very hard for it whether it is a hand phone or computer, book or toys, play station or iPod and etc. In order to get this, you’ll be studying very hard and get good results in exams and finally you get it. From this, I wanted to tell that when you wanted to achieve a goal in your life so you have to put your full commitments on it and  be motivated to achieve it.

       These are the difference between a bland and a Brand and this is my points about it. So how about you dear readers? Start to identify about yourself by asking  Am I a brand or bland?

                                                                                                                                          (765 words)

PRECAUTIONS DURING HOT WEATHER

Now, I wanted to share about precautions for those who suffers heat weather in their areas. The precautions are as followed:

 1. Drinking enough water and drinking water that has been cooked.

2. Limit outdoor activities and if unavoidable, wear a hat or an umbrella that can protect yourself from being too exposed to the hot weather.

3.  Those who suffer from illnesses such as coughs, colds, asthma, eye pain, infection, chronic lung should come to the clinic as soon as possible if the disease gets worse.

4.Smokers, users of electronic cigarettes which is the Vapers also advised to stop smoking.

EFFECTS OF EL NINO

Hey Guys! It seems that the El Nino phase is decreasing now days and we can start to do our activities as normal but at the same time, we have to be careful on taking care of our health. So, let’s get back to our business. During my research on this issue, I got to know many effects and consequences that we faced on this prolonged heat wave issue. I read several articles online and also print materials. Our country faced many problems during that environmental issue in few aspects. From my findings, I like to share the effects on this phenomenon with the stories that I read and listen. The possible problems are:

(a) Human Health

       Formerly, the effects of prolonged hot weather can be mentioned in terms of the health of a human being. As a result of the El Nino weather can affect the health of a human being that is heat stroke. According to eDictionary, Heat stroke is a form of hyperthermia (abnormally elevated body temperature) with accompanying physical and neurological symptoms. Unlike heat cramps and heat exhaustion, two less-severe forms of hyperthermia, heat stroke is a true medical emergency that can be fatal if not properly and promptly treated. Through my research, I had collected several cases in Malaysia that was related to the heatstroke. One of the most shocking case that happened in Kuala Lumpur on March 19, 2016 which was during the phase of El Nino. The news article published on www.straitstimes.com about a 23 year old trainee policeman died of heat stroke and it is the first case of heatstroke that ever happened in Malaysia. More details in the link below:

(http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/trainee-cop-first-to-die-of-heatstroke-in-malaysia)

                                              Diagram 1.1 Symptoms of Heatstroke

From my understandings and opinion, anyone can suffer from heat stroke, but those most at risk are old folks which are mostly above 65 years old, young children, pregnant and nursing mothers, people who are physically unwell, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure

(b) Agricultural Sector

Malaysia also experienced problems in the agricultural sector such as Kedah and Perlis state. This is due to the prolonged hot weather has affected soil fertility. So, growth is also less rice. This situation has reduced production of rice in northern Malaysia. The lack of rain is also a factor that inhibits the production of rice. According to the website, www.malaysiakini.com which was published on 10 January 2016, the intensity of rainfall is expected to decrease by 20 to 60 per cent from January, due to the El Nino phenomenon is sweeping the country.  (https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/326165)

(c) Water Shortage

The drought will cause a decline in watersheds such as dams, lakes and ponds due to high evaporation rates and no rain. With it, people had to deal with rationing water for several days. In addition, this year, the residents had to face water rationing schedule in stages due to the slump in the water level of the dam. Following the hot weather being experienced, demand for water will increase, causing some pool water level has decreased significantly. Dear readers! Imagine if a strong El Nino hit now with the water level in dams and treatment plants are low, the country is likely to experience a water crisis more severe than the crisis experienced El Nino in 1997-1998.

FACTORS THAT CAUSE EL NINO

Hi guys! Today I’m going to discuss about the causes of El Nino occurs in our country and also in other countries. If an unusual event occurs in our place so, there will be several aspects will be influencing that particular occurrence. The same method I will be discussing. It is like doing research when we conduct an experiment. Firstly, we have to find the root as the first step to solve a problem.  In this case, we have to find what are causes that rise up the El Nino issue that makes hard to the people.

      Ok! Let me start with the first fact that causes El Nino in a country. Firstly, open burning. To be honest, we are the one who started this phenomenon by our irresponsible attitudes. Recently, government had announced that every resident in households should divide their garbage things that can be recycle. It is the easier for the garbage collectors to just take the recycle things as they don’t have to collect one by one of the recycle things and divide them. Moreover, for the individuals that do not follow, they will be fine RM100 at first. If the individual fail to settle the fine he or she will be fined another RM500. For the residents in apartments or condominiums will be fined RM1000. Although, the government had made this law but people don’t even wanted to follow that. They still burning their things. This is because they have the mindset that no one will be noticing what they are doing and they will thinking that it’s just a bunch of garbage and nothing will happen on burning the things. Actually, that is the biggest mistake we made. We cannot change this situation because not only an individual have the mindset but many in the country. This kind of activity just rising up the temperature of a place and it also cause air pollution such as Haze. Every one of us have to be responsible on this. We should be brave to make complains about people who are burning their things at residential areas to higher authorities.

       Secondly, forest burning. Forest burning is the worst activity that can lead to El Nino. Developers may think that burning forest is an easier way to empty the ground and it saves more time rather than logging the trees. But, the judgement is wrong. Scientifically, a leave will be absorbing water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to go through process of photosynthesis to make its own food and release oxygen to the surrounding. It is also helpful on absorbing biggest amount of heat from sunlight in order to make its own food. The major role of photosynthesis is to absorb carbon dioxide and change it as oxygen and release it to the surrounding. So, that’s a big process in just a small leaf and what about a tree ?  Biggest amount of oxygen can be release from a tree to the surrounding for people to breathe. But now days, more trees are destroying and it also decreasing the amount of oxygen and increase of carbon dioxide which is more dangerous. Yes! It is also has increased the temperature of the surroundings.

         ( Soure : Google Image)

      Next,the construction of skyscrapers, now every country in the world are racing to build the highest skyscraper in the world. Construction of buildings can cause global temperature increases due to the heat island occurrence. Heat island is one of the factors leading to rising temperatures. When the temperature rises the earth will be warmer. Feel the heat when it will encourage someone to use air conditioning. The causes that led to the phenomenon of global warming are interconnected with each other. For example, cities such as Kuala Lumpur will be most affected by the over heat and it is the city that consist of high populations.

        From all of this, we know that we are the one who causing problems on the environment and also these are the factors that causing global warming as well. So, as a citizen of our country we have to play an important role on taking care of our environment and prevent from any environmental issues.

Stay tuned for my next post which is the effects of El Nino! Bye! Bye!
