The Religion Trip Reflection

Our religion trip was amazing. We went to Chinese Temple, Islam Mosque and Hinduism Temple. It was very interesting because I am actually Christian and I saw plenty of things that were unusual to me. However, only the methods of praying were different. Basically, the meanings and the purpose were all same. In the Islam Mosque, we weren't able to enter into the mosque because only the muslim could enter the mosque to pray. I also learned a lot things such as that Hindu worship plenty of gods, not just one or two like Christian. The similarities between the Hindu Temple and the Islam mosque was that they both had to take off their shoes. However the difference was that the Islam mosque had very tall and slim tower for someone to climb and pray when Hindu Temple had none of the tower which was tall. I could clearly see the contrast between the Hindu Temple and the Chinese Temple. It was that in Chinese Temple, all the people burned the paper and put it in the small chamber when I couldn't see any of the Hindu lighting the paper with the fire. Plus, another contrast between the Chinese Temple and Islam mosque was that the time for praying must be different since I spotted more than 10 people praying. However in Islam mosque, I only saw about three people just lying down and resting. The most interesting one was the Hindu Temple. The reason is because I saw various Gods that Hindu were worshipping such as Ganesh which was really interesting in my opinion. Our trip was really exciting and sort of fun.

Opposite

There is a post that contains the pictures of opposites. The first picture has the view of the sky and the ground. The sky is at the top of where we are standing and the ground is at the bottom from where we are standing. That's the opposite. The sky is at the top of us and the ground is at the bottom of us.

The second picture contains te view of the lake and the ground. That's another opposite because ground is solid when the lake in opposite, is made of liquid and is unsolid. We won't fall straight down if we are standing on the ground. However, we would surely drown and fall straight down if we are trying to stand in the water. These are the pictures that I took which has opposites in them.

This is the great view of the lake, mountains and the sky with sunlight glinting.

This is the another view of where we went for the field trip. This is the road we took to explore.

BISP test ch.1-8

If you disagree with a rule, law, or public policy, it is better to remain silent than to speak out and risk punishment.

Earlier, I thought it would be better to speak out and risk punishment to change what's wrong. However as I read the book, my opinion started to change. In the book, I realized how strong the power can be. It would take just a flick of a finger to order a murder to whom they think is a problem. Even if I try to speak out, I think I would be dead before I even try to make people understand the problem with the new rules, laws or public policy. It would be because the person who created the rules would be really powerful. People without the power wouldn't be able to create rules and laws for the citizens. People who aren't scared of death would try to speak out but most people would be scared of death and would try to avoid it. There would be about one person out of hundred who would volunteer to risk their lives and speak out. As I said, I thought that I should really speak out for the unfairness about the rules and laws but as I read the book, my opinion had changed and I wouldn't really be able to speak and risk my life. Even if I decide to, it would take a lot of courage and great effort.

Good Life

Living a good life has plenty of meanings. It means to be loyal to the religion you believe in, or to reach your life's destination or to help others and be respected. They are all quite different in meanings and it isn't related to one another. They have a specific meaning about what you're doing in the process of living a good life.
Most of the people in the world have a religion or a god that they follow or worship. Also, profuse of them consider living a good life is to be loyal to their gods and make them delighted. Some of them would even be prepared to risk their life to be loyal and to be faithful. To those who believe in any kind religions think that they will be honored and would be able to live in a luxury and extreme comfort if they are just loyal to their gods while they are mortal. As a Christian myself, I wouldn't disagree but I would disagree if living a good life means to only worship the gods until our death. Still most people would consider living a good life if they are just loyal and faithful.
To reach your life's destination could possibly be the most difficult thing in your life. For example, if someone desired to reach the moon and they finally did, that would mean that you reached your life's destination. However, reaching the moon isn't as easy as you think. It's same for all of us. It wouldn't be named life's destination if it was possible everytime whenver you want. However, when you finally reach your goal, you would be delighted to death and wouldn't have any regrets if you die. That's why reaching your life's destination could be considered as fulfilling the job of living a good life.
To be rich enough or to be smart enough to help others in a bad situation and be respected is not an easy task for anyone. You would need a lot of effort and I am sure it wouldn't be very smooth and easy. Certainly, you haven't seen a person helping a lot of others at the same time and be respected. You would need to study hard and try your best to reach the goal. That's why that is really difficult for all of us. It may sound like something that you can do when you're just lying down and resting, but resting would be like a dream if you're ambition is to help profuse of others.

Journey of the hero: Post 1

The book I chose to read was called 'Ark Angel'. This book's main character's name is Alex Rider. He is at the age of 14 and he is the teenager spy recruited by a national British organization called M16. Alex was sent to the hospital due to the attack of the assasin. On his last day at the hospital, he witnessed four assasions trying to kidnap a boy named Paul Drevin. Alex tried his best to save the boy since Paul had became his friend as he was healing in hospital. Even though he had severely damamged all the assasins, he was captured by a terrorists who call themselves Force Three. Alex dramatically escapes and comes back in one piece safe once again back to his house. Later, Alex had found that Paul Drevin was actually the son of the multibillionaire who wanted to repay and thank him. He was invited to the luxury no one would ever have dreamed before. While he was on his vacation with Paul and his dad since Paul's dad and mom divorced, he had found out that something was not right and that came really clear when Mr.Drevin had almost killed Alex while they were having the Go-Kart race on purpose. Alex had decided to leave them on the final journey to the America to his housekeeper named Jack Starbright. However, on the airport, he found that his passport had been expired even though he had made it only four years ago. That made him stay on the airport for 24 hours and had been sent to talk to Mr.Bryne the head of operation in the CIA. He was told that Mr.Drevin was actually the biggest criminal for he was about to send up the hotel up in the space. This project was called an Ark Angel and had used more than billions of dollars to prepare this project. Mr.Bryne had requested him to go back and enjoy the vacation with the Drevin family but report to the CIA if something goes wrong and if he finds something strange. Alex Rider had gone back to the airport and met Paul and his father as if nothing happened. They had gone to the island which Mr.Drevin had bought and where the Ark Angel was being prepared. While they were resting, Alex had been asked to the Scuba Diving with a guard down to the the ship wreck that had sunk in the World War II. Paul couldn't accompany him due to his asthma. The guard named Kolo had accompanied Alex but locked Alex on inside the ship so that Alex would drown and suffocate. The reason was because the head of the security had realized that Alex was the spy working for the M16 and the CIA. However, the Mr.Drevin's secretary had saved Alex's life for she was actually the agent for the CIA. They came up to the surface and waited for the boat to come because the secretary had heard that the boat was coming in late in the night which would mean that they would come in quietely so that no one would notice. They waited and Alex was shocked to see the Force Three who had attempted to kill Alex land on the island. At that moment, they were found by the guards and were captured. Mr.Drevin told Alex everything about his plan for he clearly thought he would be dead. Mr.Drevin's plan was that the project Ark Angel wasn't going too well and had many problems which made him want to just quit all about the Ark Angel. So he made a plan too destroy Ark Angel and still get the money back from the government without letting them noticing anything suspicous. The world still thought that Force Three was a terroists but they had actually worked for Mr.Drevin. He would pretend that they set up a bomb and to set the rocket to go directly to The Pentagon building in the US. Mr.Drevin would pretend that he didn't know about this and pretend to fight with the Force Three and have the Force Three lying on the island when the CIA and the government came to investigate. However, the force three didn't know anything about them having to lie on the ground dead. The leader named Combat Jack had asked Mr.Drevin about how he was going to fake them dying, but with a smile Mr.Drevin had shot all four of the Force Three. Alex was shocked but couldn't do anything but just get locked up and wait their death with the secretary. However, Alex escaped with the sharp shoelace that CIA had made and got the back up team to come and invade the island. Mr.Drevin was killed but the rocket had been sent. After two hours, the bomb would explode and the Ark Angel would fall to the Pentagon building. The CIA made this crazy idea about sending Alex up to the space and to deactivate the bomb. Finally Alex was sent up to the space with a rocket towards the Ark Angel. This was where I finished and I wonder if Alex Rider would really be the hero. I hope that my hero would succeed and come back safely.

Giver-Blog post #1

We started reading the book called 'Giver' after we finished 'White Mountain'. This book is quite interesting because this world in Giver is just perfect. It has no danger or any kind of unsafety place that might injure or hurt the citizens who live there. My groupmates whose names are James, Catherine and Chloe(Who was in my every single Liturature group Mr.Thomas). We started off with our passages about how the story would go and we also discussed some of the important passages in the story. It was really fun and there were barely any discussions that were out of the topic. When Mr. Thomas allowed us to move on to our questions and answers, my group started straight away and discussed sort of in a enthusiastic way. We had some interesting questions and of course, as we were sharing our answers, there were several objections that were made and discussed until the correct answers were found. Actually, I think that all the questions my group shared was really creative and I could see that they put some thought into the question as they were making it. We didn't share our vocabularies or maybe didn't GET to share our vocabularies because Mr. Thomas stopped us and moved onto the other assignment. This discussion was really fun and I hope they would be just like today's discussion and flow flexibly and nicely.

White Mountain-Blog post Final

I think that after Will and his friends reached the White Mountain, they would be part of the team to fight the Tripods and they will have missions like Ozymandias. The people in White Mountain would try to invent the bomb when they hear that Will had once destroyed a Tripod with a bomb. I think in the end, they will have a war with a Tripods but I think that one of Will's friends (Henry or Beanpole) would die on the process. However, Will and the poeple from White Mountain would win there would be no cappings or Tripods anymore. I am sure that the story would end with a happy moment where there is no ruling of the Tripods and then, Jack would be free and so would be others.

The theme of the castle of Red Tower is a freedom. In the Red tower, people live with rules and they live as if they are normal even though they are still capped and are obedient to the Tripods. Even though the theme in the castle of Red tower is freedom, people are still Capped. The Comtesse doesn't put Will or his friends into the jail because they think that boys running away from their house is something to be proud of. They don't treat runaways like other towns and villages would do. This is an evidence of freedom. Also, they ask Will if he can stay in the Red tower with them forever. They offer him a place in the Red tower and also offer him a job of a knight if he stays. In the other villages and towns, they would just put them in the jail and call the Tripods to Cap them as soon as possible. This is another evidence of freedom. People in the Red Tower live as if they are uncapped and live happily with their family. This is why the theme is freedom in the castle of Red Tower.

White Mountain-Blog post 3

At first when I got the book in my hand and looked at the title 'White Mountain', I thought 'What kind of book has the title so boring as this?' and I knew right away that this book would be so boring. On the first chapter, in my opinion, it was really 'eventless' and boring. However, as I read on, I started to think differently. It became more exciting. Then, I realized that just because of the title, I thought negatively about the book. So I tried my best to think positively and it became really fun to me. Right now, I want to keep reading the book if there was no announcent made by Mr.Thomas that we have to read as a class so we shouldn't read over the limit. I think people who thinks that White Mountain is boring would change their feelings about the book as they read on. I really enjoy this book and it is really exciting.

In the second discussion we learned about Zhanpole (I prefer Beanpole). Beanpole the guy who can speak many different kind of and who also wears a glasses would be a lot of help for Henry and Will. The reason is because Beanpole knows the geographic issues around the area they are currently in and he can speak English and the foreign language so that he can translate them to Will and Henry. There would be no problem with their journey to the White Mountain if Beanpole the guy who seem possibly intelligent and Henry who is really strong is with Will and help him on the journey and be free from Tripods. I hope that really happens and I like the Beanpole guy. I can just trust him on the journey. I think that Beanpole helps the journey a lot.

Blog post #1 White Mountain

Actually there aren't really any parts of Will that is same as mine. Will is a selfish boy, but I don't think that I am that selfish. Well, Will is just like me in the style of obedience. He is also similar to me in the freedom. Will wants a lot of freedom out of Tripods, and I also don't want others to think that I am a little kid who can't go around by himself. Will Parker is just like me in the curriosity also when he wants to take the Watch out and examine it himself and show to Jack to show off. That's also another thing that is just like me. As I think now, I think that there are a lot of parts of Will that is just like me. I don't know why, but it feels good to have something similar with a main character in the story.

The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become(silence) a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.



I put silence after become because as the statement is about tells about what we would become, listeners would be craving to listen what we would become but with the silence there, they would be getting more and more questions such as what we would become and would want to get the actual answer. They would be curious and pay attention to what we are about to say. That's why I thought that putting the silence after the become was the best place.

The composer can creat tension by composing the song that goes really exciting and scary with really loud sound. Then composer can make the song even go louder that the audience has to pay attention. Then all of a sudden, the music stops as the audience think, what is going on? Why did the music stop? When they get some questions, composer can make the song start again to give the audience an answer (release).

Vacation!

In this vacation, I experienced a lot of things. Almost all the people have their resolutions. So do I. My resolutions are some common things such as getting a good grade, getting fit, laughing and enjoying the life more and doing things that I really desire to do. I think that these are really important, especially enjoying the life more. If you dislike your life and hate yourself, no matter how rich, intelligent or popular you are, you will be depressed and won't be happy at all. I think that it is the most important thing in the world to enjoy your life and accept the way you live. I really hope that I will be able to enjoy the life and me living safely with my family. I hope that all the other kids would also be able to enjoy their own lives and not be depressed. I wish to do as the lists of resoultion and I think I will be able do it.
Vacation means that you take a break from what you do and rest for certain time. Almost all the people travel and play in the vacation time. My family just like the others, went to Penang to rest and play. We went to a hotel called "Royal Park" and hoped to enjoy the journey. Our concept this time was to play and rest in the hotel, not to travel around and visit places to have tired feet. As our concept, we swan in the swimming pool, played tennis, ping pong and built sand castles on the beach and play beach soccer. I played and played and didn't notice the time going. When I was too exhausted to play anymore, I looked up and saw the sun gone. My family went back to our room and showered to eat dinner. We went down to the restaurant in the hotel and ate buffet. It was really yummy. I think it just melted in my mouth! After we were fully stuffed with foods, we walked slowly back up to our room. As we went into our room, my brother and I sprinted to the beds and ordered ourselves to lie down and sleep. However, We had to brush our teeth and wash before we sleep. So we barely managed ourselves to force ourselves to wash before we went to sleep. As I slept, I hoped that the next day would be just as fun as today.
From this visit to Penang, I learned that there couldn't ONLY be good things that happen to us. There has to be at least a event that is unfortunate. As I woke up and ate breakfast, I ran toward the sea with my brother. My heart raced as I raced with my brother with excitment. What we were going to do was to build sand castles and fight a war, but the life isn't as easy as you think. Building the sand castles just about same. As we people learn to protect our selves as the time goes, our sand castles were getting developed every second. The waves couldn't force our walls to collapse, so my brother and I started a war. I was the first one declare a war to my brother. I threw the sand cannon ball at my brother's sand castle and the wall where it was hit wasn't broken but severly damaged. My brother was frustrated like a child who lost their soccer match and complaining that the other team had more players. He stood up and stomped toward my castle and jumped on it. My castle was half broken. I stood up and yelled that it was so unfair, but the reply was just a perfect hit on my eye by a sand cannon ball thrown by my brother. I was so angry that I just lunged myself at him and started slapping and punching him on his chest. However, the fight ended and we were laughing and cursing to each other ( for fun). Suddenly my brother told me to lie down on the beach so that he can pour the broken sand castles on top of me. I made my last laugh and lied down as he dumped all the sand on me except my head. You'd think it was for fun. However, that's where the problem began. I heard some screamings and someone calling "Move away!". I couldn't move but I rolled my eyes down and saw a giant horse galloping towards me.
Every body might have experienced this when there are some things you can't believe and you don't want to belive. That's what I felt right now when it was true. I saw the horse whining and galloping so fast (it seemed to me). Usually I would have laughed and be amazed at the horse about to crash into a human, but hey, when YOU are the person about to get crashed, you won't be able to laugh or be amazed that you are going to die in seconds. My desperately looked for my brother and longed for him to come like a hero and save me. I was lucky and unlucky. Luckily, I found my brother standing about 5 meters away. Unluckily, he just stood there stunned like I would have been if I were in his shoes. I thought that I was going to die. I made a silent 2 seconds pray closed my eyes. Suddenly, I had a crazy idea that I thought it was going to work but it could fail. As the horse galloped toward me and was about to step on me, I screamed like an idiot person with my eyes closed tight. I heard my brother screaming but I couldn't be sure if it was in relief or terror. I waited 3 seconds and saw a hand reach to me and pull me. I was safe. So I scurried back to my room with all the attention to me with a horse galloping the opposite direction from me. From that time on, I was always careful and as a result I could go back safely to my house and spend the rest of the vacation without any problems.
