Projects day (Phase 2)

Finally through all the time and hard thinking, my group decided to abort the intention of doing category 3: inventions. Instead, we decided to go for category 9a: mathematics. Basically our project is about origami, which is about folding out objects using paper. Our main objective of this project is to find out about the mystery of shapes (specifically polygons), whether we are able to fold out every of them. I wont be explaining the other objectives. We will be using rectangle paper strips as a starting point, and slowly using more of them if needed.

We decided to use this field of mathematics as it does not requires lots of calculations, and folding is easy. Now the only hard part is about doing it, which each of us have to do our own part to make this project successful. We have to quickly come up with a proposal and power-point before time runs out, which is very swift. I hope that my group is able to overcome all difficulties and emerge victorious.

Earthquakes

So many earthquakes happening... people losing lives... when will the terror stop?

As you all know, Haiti faced an enormous earthquake in the month of January. Many lives, homes and property were lost during that tragedy. Many of the survivors were struggling, fighting for the resources given, causing violence throughout the area, as the resources were not enough for them. Many people were trap under huge heavy rumbles, causing the death toll to rise day by day. This natural disaster caused many hearts to be broken.

In the recent news, Chile also faced a massive earthquake. Not only that, seismologists also predicted that a tsunami may be struck on Chile. Thousand of earthquake survivors are rushing to the higher grounds, saving their loved ones. Not only Chile, powerful quakes (specifically 6.4 magnitude) struck southern Taiwan, causing panicking residents fleeing from tall shaking buildings. All of these events are just not long ago, when would the terror stop?

As a Malaysian, I feel that I am very lucky of living at such place on earth where no natural disasters ever occurred. Both Malaysia and Singapore are just suited on a prone natural disaster area, which is a very fortunate thing. If I were one of the residents of the top few countries, I would not know what will be happening to me, and I would not like it.

What do you think about these natural disasters? If you are one of the people living in countries which keep facing earthquakes, what will you feel and what will you do? Please state your opinion.

Interview with friend : Prejudice and discrimination. (Schoolwork)

This is an interview between me and my friend regarding prejudice and discrimination.

Andrew: What does prejudice and discrimination is to you?

Anonymous: I think is making fun of someone which is different with you like race, skin color etc.

Andrew: Do you think that prejudice and discrimination is false?

Anonymous: Yes it is false. We should not discriminate other people just by his/her looks.

Andrew: What can you try preventing prejudice and discrimination?

Anonymous: Firstly I will try to avoid from it if possible. If not, then I would have to settle with
the person who is discriminating me, in a polite manner.

Andrew: Lastly, do you like to discriminate anyone?

Anonymous : Not that I know, but no.

Andrew : Thank you for your kind attention.

Maycomb Map (Schoolwork)

This is my so called simplified version of the Maycomb map. It is not as detail or good as it is, but it is worth the effort was drawing it. Please comment on about your opinion about this map.

Multiple Intelligence Quiz (School Work)


The picture on my right shows statistics of my multiple intelligence.

Based on this table, I think that it is partially reliable. My highest score was interpersonal. As I did not know what it really means, I went to check at the dictionary and founded out the meaning: existing or occurring between persons.

I do not really have any conflict or relationship between anyone, so I think that it is false.

On the other hand, my second highest was logic. I do think that it is reliable as I like to do things logically and effectively, not the other way round. In conclusion, I believe that this test may be reliable if you put in the correct information.

About Me

It has been the start of my second year studying in Singapore. It has been a fun and enjoyable year, and I hope that this year I will also experience as such. It is a new start, and now I have decided to change myself, strive hard, and earn my keep.
