A kind people I met today

Today is a sunny day if we count end today before 530pm. After i finished my 4pm lecture at 6pm, it has been raining heavily outside. Everyone is squeezing at the bus stop outside the LT7A. The rain is getting heavier. Here the C bus come. When i was going to aboard the bus, i saw a guy holding his umbrella standing at the door of the bus. He is sheltering us from the rain. I was touched and did not forget to say thanks you to him. It is very nice to see such a kind people here as i always have a image of "cold city" for Singapore.

My impact on the earth's environment

If we notice the poster pasted near the counter in nus co-op, we will find out the usage of plastic is a little over in our life. For an example, a plastic pack for a magazine and some stationaries. I realize that i have been doing harm to our earth for such a long time. Although i always reuse those plastic pack as a dustbin, i can still reduce my plastic impact on this beautiful planet. Say no to plastic carrier! I always carry a bag in case i can put anything inside it. Try no to use the plastic carrier as it cannot to be recycled. "We can choose not to eat the plastics but the turtles cannot." This slogan influence me most. In addition, i am not a can drinks lover and i bring my own water bottle. I avoid increase the pressure on the request of source. What i can do is a little thing but if all of us do together, this is a huge power! Save our earth!

Timed Paragraph

We can say that once we use any product, waste will be created at the same time. It looks impossible to prevent the appearance of the waste but what we can do is to manage the waste usefully and efficiently. For example, land filling is a traditional and common way that used easily found in many countries. Why do most of the developing countries using this method? Many of these countries, especially those having a large domain, use land filling to bury the waste as the least money and manpower consuming method. Each machine needs 1 operator to function. But, without a careful method to guide operators, the organic waste might leak out after a long time. Hazardous chemicals will endanger the environment and the health of citizens who live in the neighbouring area. However, a new system called zero waste is slowly turned to by many developed countries. Based on reducing the high pressure on the resources, zero waste is a good way because zero waste can be “reused, recycled and eve repaired” (Collins, 2002, p.25). On the other hand, the zero waste system can indirectly bring more development of the economy and technology, for building up the recovering facilities, working opportunities are created and research for technology will be rapidly processing. Besides, everyone can take part in the zero waste system. Citizens can choose to use the items which are made with recyclable materials. In short, zero waste system is better than land filling to handle waste because zero waste system will not do any harm to the environment and will save our earth from source drying.

For my country, Malaysia, land filling might be the better way to handle waste. It is because for now, Malaysia is still lacking scientists or engineers which are familiar with the zero waste system. Besides, most of the undeveloped area in Malaysia is rainforest area. It brings only disadvantages if uses these areas to bury waste. But from a long-term angle to see, zero waste is the best way. So, the government of Malaysia should promote the correct idea to the citizens for raising their awareness and slowly develop the zero system.

Harmonica Concert

Last Saturday 1/3 after my MLE mid term, i went to the NUS Harmonica Concert: SOIREE 2008.

Well, at first i was just bought the ticket to support my friend. But after i saw the concert, i was impressed by the performance. I cannot imagine the small instrument can play such great performance (no offense XD).

Well, i do not know much descriptive words to describe the performance. But only 1 sentence to conclude the performance: there will be an image appear in your mind once you heard the rhythm. Maybe is a girl dancing on a grassland, wind blowing through the forests or fishes swimming under the sea.

Unfortunately, i missed the 1st two "songs" due to some reason. But i really enjoy the performance.

p/s: there is a great japan artist(can i call him like this? do not know what word to use). He has showed us a professional harmonica skill. Although i fall sleep in the 3rd song. Haha... And 1 more funny thing the harmonica will reflect the light onto the ceiling of UCC. Beside the music show and there is a light show also!

What difficulties do you have writing?

Every time when i am given a topic to write, the first things i will do is google-ing the details i can use on the topic. Why I always do like this is because lacking of information and vocabulary, especially those scientific words or descriptive words.

People often say that a good article should have good description and informative content.
Unfortunately, what i lack are these two important things. In order to improve my writing, do more reading is the only and most efficient method, although it may consume a lot of time to see the result. Newspaper is a good material for reading. Besides getting the latest news occurring around the world, i can learn a lot of vocabulary too. In addition, write more is also another good way.

Perhaps, no after a long time, i could write my essay without keep repeating some words. This will sharply increase the readers' interest to continue look at my essay.
