Marxism Part 1 Marxism is a theory of sociology. This theory was made by Karl Marx in the 1800’s during the industrialisation era. What led him to come up with this theory was, when he saw a significant shift in the society that happened due to the invention of machinery, this invention had caused a radical change on how the economy operated, therefore social revolution. It created social classes that were not there in the first place. There were two distinct classes existed during that time that led to the division of labour, the bourgeoisie; who owns the resources, and the proletariat; who works for the bourgeoisie (who owns the means of productions; factories, businesses or shops). The proletariat were controlled by the bourgeoisie, in terms of working hours, what they do under which conditions and even to the point if there were allow to work or not. They get paid little and while the owner gained a wide margin of profit. Marx saw inequality in this society’s structure, the workers were exploited by the owner whose main priority was to increase financial return. Marx believed that this would cause class conflict, the bourgeoisie would want to shrink the wages of labour as much as possible while the proletariat wants a higher pay.

When Fraser Met Billy This book is about a mother who has an autistic child, whom she called 'an angry child', because the first three days after he was born, he was screaming without a break. She knew immediately something wasn't right but didn't know what it was. He was only diagnosed as an autistic child when he was a year and eight months old, when he wasn't reaching a milestone that a one year and eight months old child could do. Although his mom had been trying to tell the staff(nurses and doctors) in every appointment they had had, only to found herself being labelled as a mother who didn't take enough care of her child. Frazzled and almost loosing hope that her child could be a normal child. She decided to find a pet for him as he couldn't/didn't want to interact with other children. And they found Billy, a gray cat from Cats Protection. They soon formed a strong bond and gradually Billy helped the boy to came out from his shell and interact with the world around him. Billy brought a significant change in their life, especially the boy, from tantrums and chaos to calm and happy atmosphere.

Trifle That Leave A Heart Print Have you ever made a trifle before? I haven't. Up until one event where trifle was introduced to me. My best friend just had a bowel surgery. Prior and post procedure requires her to be nil by mouth for a couple of days. Having went through all, appointment, diagnostic process, assessment and the surgery had drained the life out of her. A couple of days after the surgery she was allowed to eat. Starting with fluids, she was doing well and there were no complication. The next day, she was allowed to have soft diet and she had a bowl of soup for a start. Later that day she told me the menu was bland and wanted something else as an add on, I promised I will bring something for her next time I come for a visit. Back home I was having a chat with a cousin and asking for a suggestion what I can bring for her. So that was when we came up with trifle. It was a really simple recipe to make, though we made a bit of modification with the ingredients, we used roll cake, homemade yogurt, low fat thickened cream, custard, a variety of freshly diced fruit and loads of love :). I came to the hospital with the trifle just before lunch time and I told her we are going to have indoor picnic! I set up the table for us with some fresh flowers to brighten up our picnic. We had the trifle as a dessert before she had her lunch, she loved it so much and she liked the idea of indoor picnic. We had a wonderful time that day, and I was happy to see her full of life and energy. When I looked back, it is amazing how little deeds you make can leave a heart print in someone's life and I learned how to make trifle :D, another satisfying accomplishment for me. Live life and make beautiful memories with someone that matters to you ;)

Satisfying working life There are people who say do what you want and you will never have to work a day in your life. They say this because doing something you really enjoy can bring out the best within yourself. When interest and energy are focused while working, the result would be a great feelings of accomplishment. I want to use a link word before the "When interest and...." any suggestions?

Corrections or comments are most welcome - Enquire letter - Dear Sir/Madam I am writing to enquire of a parcel sent on 22nd August, Thursday to Subang, Selangor.It was sent from Kota Kinabalu Sabah. A small white parcel weigh about 0.4kg, with a recipient address scribbled on it. To my surprise it has not arrived yet. According to my calculation it has been five days since the delivery (minus Saturday & Sunday). Does it usually take that long for a standard shipment? I would be delighted if you could check the consignment number of EF 017269692 MY and update me with the progress. Looking forward to your reply. Yours Faithfully, Aini.

An Unfortunate Encounter I am working as a nurse on shift basis, I live nearby and it is just ten minutes walk to my workplace. Wednesday has always been the operation day in my department and I am on afternoon shift that is 2pm-9pm, another busy and long day for me. But that particular Wednesday, I finished work later than usual, I bid goodbye to my friends and took off quickly. I am worn out and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I never walked home that late and I am worried about my safety. Having walked pass the junction, I could see a few hundred meters in front of me a psycho guy that has been wandering around the neighborhood ever since I live here. I have encountered him a couple of times, he didn't cause any disturbance but as a safety precaution I crossed the road trying to avoid him. As I looked up, he was crossing the road too and the worst thing he was coming towards me. "Whatta heck". I didn't give it a second thought, I turned around and started to run until I reached my workplace, panting. It had been a while since my last run and thanks to the psycho guy I've done my running in a remarkable time. I called my brother to come and picked me up and I reached home safely.
