English English has almost become an international language. Except for Chinese, more people speak it than any other language. Spanish is the official language of more countries in the world, but more countries have it as their official or unofficial second language. More than 70 percent (maybe) of the world's mail is written in it. It is the primary language on the Internet and also the secondary language in Malaysia. In international business, it is used more than any other language, and it is the language of airline pilot and air traffic controller all over the world. Therefore, unless you plan to spend your life alone on a desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it is a useful language to know.

Greeting Cards Have you noticed how many different kinds of greeting cards you can buy these days? In the old days, the local drugstore had one rack displaying maybe five or six basic kinds of cards. You could walk into the store and choose an appropriate card in five minutes or less. Nowadays, however, the display space for greeting cards is as big as a soccer field, and it may take an hour or two to hunt down exactly the right card with exactly the right message. I had noticed these after I tried to find a greeting card for Miss M.

I want (but i cant) Dear Miss M, I want to be a man that can cheer you up when you are in sadness. But I can't do that because I am afraid that I would hurt your feeling if I take any action. I am not a shy-type man but when you are in front of me, my lips just like a tough ice that cannot be break. Maybe it is because you are special to me. Your face can stop my mind to control myself. It's awesome! However, I still cant help you or be by your side because of my "mind-set". I am afraid and extremely shy of you. Sorry Miss M, Maybe next time when I saw you again, we will have a special conversation. Hope I can be the man that always be by your side.

Failure Failure is inevitable if we are to succeed in life. We should pass failure on the way to success, so it is the ability to pass it that makes the difference between those who eventually reach success and those who did not. When we fail, we might be tempted to think that we have wasted our time and thus regret it. But that should not be the case. The fact that you have done something is much better than doing nothing. So, do not regret it if you are failed because you have tried your best to succeed. Besides that, we should keep confidence in ourselves despite the failure. Of course, we need to put a lot of effort and learn as much as possible from the failure, but we have the ability to make our dream come true. Many people who achieved great undertakings have no special trait. They are just ordinary people with extraordinary attitude. Let's be one of them. :)

THANKS!! XD Please accept this notebook entry of thanks that I hereby extend to everyone at KKTM Beranang under JAD's program for all their help and support during the very difficult time I have been going through. I cannot thank all of you enough for lending a hand wherever you could and for all the wonderful support you gave me. Your kind words of comfort and understanding were deeply appreciated. I know we all share in the deep sorrow of losing Aji Sensei, Hasparina Sensei and Masera Sensei. It's hard to understand why these things happen because we are not in command of JAD's program lecturer changes. I am just so grateful to have had such wonderful people surround me and help me through. There are so many who genuinely cared for me here. Thanks to all JAD lecturers and students. I love you all! XD

A problem-solver I have been looking for peaceful in my life. I had tried many ways to calm my rebel soul such as sleep throughout a day, play computer games all night and many more. Although it gives me a peaceful day, but it was not for a long term. All the ways that I had tried only help me to calm my soul for a day. After that day, I had been searching for the solution of my problem by asking teachers, friends and people around me. A month passed, but I still cannot find the solution of the problem. One day, I realize that my mother had never been asked about that problem. So, I asked her how to calm my rebel soul, and she had given me a nice solution. The way that had been given to me by my mother has worked! (After I tried it for 2 or three times). Thank you mom. You always be my problem-solver. Do you want to know what is the way that has given to me by my mother? Sorry, it is a family-secret. XD From this entry, I just want to say that our problem-solver are always with us. Every single body has their own problem-solver. I have my mother! You? Share with me. =)

Perfection In the 21st century, everybody wants to be perfect including me. However, as you all know, we can’t be like that because we are human. Humans were created with a weakness. Each person has their own weakness, and the weakness cannot be throw away hundred percent. The weakness of the person will always be with them, and that person can only reduce their weakness to a minimum state. So, if you are hoping to have a friend who is perfect, just dream it in your sleep. Nobody perfect, you should accept your friends with pleasure, although he is a noisy and naughty person. You can have many more best friends if you can accept their weakness as if you are in their condition. Be open-hearted to your friend and just be yourself. Don't try to hide your weakness, let them know who you are. I also have my own weakness, but I can't say it through this entry. If you want to know what is my weakness, just be my friends and always talk or chat with me. You will know it yourself without asking me. XD

A Weird Story The title indicates that it is all about a boy and this extract particularly is about a boy, a twelve-year-old boy named Zul. Zul is a weird kid. He is too different from the other kids in school. He has the wrong trousers and the wrong haircut and while normal kids are listening to music like Snoop Doggy Dogg, he is listening to Joni Mitchell. Zul feels left out which makes him a very withdrawn child. In some way he is living in his own world and he cannot tell the difference between the inside and outside of his head “For some reason he couldn’t spot the difference between inside and outside, because there didn’t seem to be a difference” this reflects in Zul in the way what he without warning and without noticing himself, starts singing Joni Mitchell out loud in the middle of class. He does not feel like anything about him is right – the essence of who he is, is the problem; he, himself, is the problem “He’d still be who he was, and that, it seemed to him, was the basic problem” Zul knows he is a weird kid and for that, he blames his mother. Zul’ mother is weird too and seen through the eyes of Zul, from a boy’s perspective, his mother’s craziness affects him and makes him weird too “Zul knew he was weird, and he knew that part of the reason he was weird was because of his mum was weird”. He feels that it is all her fault and that is why he cannot tell his mother about his horrible feelings about going to school, because if he does, he has to tell her that he feels different and that he partly blames her for being that, which is a thing he could never do. Zul and his mother are living together alone without a husband and father and it is very hard for a single mother to raise a man. Zul's dad left them and from that day everything got worse.

Happiness Happiness is a basic need of the human soul. Once we are provided with such physical necessities of food, water and shelter, we seek happiness. Most people seek happiness throughout their lives, yet many look in the wrong places, only to find despair. Some people are so unhappy, and so hopeless of ever being happy again, that they feel they would rather take their own lives than face living through another day. Many people, very likely most people, are not happy, but think they will be once they get more of what they want. More money, a more desirable mate, more friends, a bigger house, a college degree, a promotion on the job, or election to a political office. It's human nature to want more than what we've got, and it's often easy to demonstrate that what one has is so meager that anyone could understand why we are unhappy. The desire for more is programmed into us by evolution, as it was our ancestors who actually got more that were more successful at reproduction than those who settled for less. So all of this leaves only one thing when it comes being happy. Make a decision to be happy now and to change your thinking towards the things that contribute to happiness instead of deterring it. Choose your response to situations and live with a hope and appreciation to what is good, what is right, and what makes you happy. ^_^
