I Got That A Lot

"Blood is thicker than water"

My mum always keep repeating this phrase. She also always said that "if I have gone later, whatever happens, never broke up your relationship with your siblings . Stay unite together as a family because family are everything." My sisters will look to each other then they will start to cry. For me, if I was there, I will go to the toilet to calm myself. So no one can see me whether I was crying or not. Hahahahaaa.. One day, my mum said that phrase again. I don't realize that my eyes were welling with tears. Then, its began to flow through my cheek. 

One of my sisters spotted something and she shouted "Naim is crying !!" and they started to laugh at me. Starting from that day, my sisters always tease me. I will never win when I have fighting talk with them. How come I could win?? Its 6 versus 1 guys. At the end, I was the one who will take the loser trophy all alone. I always got this a lot of times when I was a little kid. When I was in primary and secondary school, they created up a new slander to make me shy and blush. I don't know how they could come up with this story. They told my mum that I was in love with my neighbour, who same old as me. I used to call her Along instead of her name. Another disaster came. They also told Along's parents the same thing during Hari Raya Celebration when we visited their house. I was so speechless at that time ! My face started to turn red.

Then, her parents joined up and saying that they agree to match us up. My mother and sisters laughed seeing me in anxious. From that day. I became awkward when met Along. When my sisters saw us talking to each other in front of our house, they will made a mice sound and called up my mum and told that we were dating !  

But now I started to miss this kind of  things where we laughed happily, teasing each other, spent time together and many more. Now, everyone busy with work and have their own responsibilities and commitments. I wish that I could turn back time, enjoyed that moment and got "that" a lot again.

Making Judgement

Hello !! Here I want to share about making judgement. I am sure that all of us always undergo this kind of situation in our daily life especially in judging people and of course you have an experience in misjudging people. Am I right ?? I was also not spared from doing this.

So what does the judgement means ??

Judgement is the ability to judge make a decision or form an opinion objectively, authoritatively, and wisely especially in matters affecting action, good sense and discretion.

Judging someone is like the worst thing you could do for yourself. People are not what they look like. We judge everyone around all the time, by their walk, talk, what other people say about them and so on.

In 2013, I went to selection of football players to represent my school. Through the selection session, my eyes kept focused on this player. His name was Zulhimi but people used to called him Zack. He was one year older than me and one of the skillful football player in the school. He just got transfered to this school. But I don't know why my mind kept saying that he was arrogant based on his facial expression and the way he played. After the selection session, the coach had selected 18 players. Alhamdulillah, I also chosen to be in that team. We continued our training everyday and I still can't get along with Zack.

One day, my coach took us to Sekayu Waterfall to have some relaxation because the tournament was just around the corner. From this short vacation, I could spend time with my teammates to strengthen our bond in team. From here, I realize that my notation about Zack was absolutely wrong. Actually he was a friendly and easy to get along person. We have some chatlines and having fun together by splashing water to each other. Zack said that his friends from his old school also do the same thing, telling that he was an arrogant person when they met him for the first time. I asked for apologize for misjudging him. Then we became a good friend until now.

Other than that, it had been many times when the person I thought I can never be friends with became one my good friends and made me believe how wrong was I! Once you have do it,you just may lose out in getting to know a great person. So my advice for you !! PLEASE, do not quickly judge people without knowing them better.  

Here another story about making wrong judgement 

A few years ago, a 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
“Dad, look the trees are going behind us!”
As his Dad smiled,  a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behaviour with pity, when suddenly he again exclaimed…
“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
“Why don’t you take your son to see a good doctor?”
The old man smiled and said…

“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth and he just got his eyes today.

Every person in the world has their own individual story. Many times this story of the life may turn out being something that we never knew anything about. Sometimes, we don’t REALLY know what makes a person “tick” because of something that they may have experienced at some point of their life.
Why do I say this? Because sometimes we judge and create opinions about someone without even knowing them. We really should make it a goal each day not to judge people before we truly know them.
The truth might surprise you.

A Movie Based On True Story That Inspired Me

IP MAN(YIP MAN)

Yip Man

Ip Man is a 2008 Hong Kong biographical martial arts film based on the life of Yip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and master of Bruce Lee. The film focuses on events in Ip's life that supposedly took place in the city of Foshan during the Sino-Japanese War. The film was directed by Wilson Yip, and stars Donnie Yen as Ip Man, with martial arts choreography by Sammo Hung. The supporting cast includes Simon Yam, Lynn Hung, Lam Ka-tung, Xing Yu and Hiroyuki Ikeuchi.

Donnie Yen take role as Ip Man 

First of all, I would like to explain about synopsis of the story.

In the 1930s, Foshan is a hub of Southern Chinese martial arts, where various schools actively recruit disciples and compete against each other. Although the Wing Chun master Ip Man is the most skilled martial artist in Foshan, he is unassuming and keeps a low profile. As an independent wealthy man, he feels no need to accept any disciples and instead spends his days training, meeting with friends, and spending time with his family. Though not a professional martial artist, Ip is respected in Foshan due to the abilities he displays in friendly, closed-door competitions with local masters. Ip's reputation is further enhanced when he defeats an aggressive, rude, highly skilled Northern Chinese martial arts master, Jin Shanzhao, thus upholding the regional pride of fellow Southern stylists and others in Foshan.

The Japanese invasion in 1937 adversely affects the life of everyone in Foshan. Ip's house is claimed by the Japanese and used as their Foshan headquarters. Ip and his family lose their wealth and are forced to move into a decrepit house. Desperate to support his family, Ip accepts work at a coal mine. The Japanese General Miura, who is a Karate master, establishes an arena where Chinese martial artists compete with his military trainees. The Chinese earn a bag of rice for every match they win. Ip at first declines to participate in the matches. However, when his friend Lin goes missing, he agrees to take part in order to investigate. Ip arrives to see Liu executed by Miura's lieutenant, Sato, for picking up a bag of rice from a prior victory after conceding in a second match against three karateka. He also comes to understand that Lin was killed in an earlier fight. Barely able to contain his rage, Ip demands a match with ten karateka at once. Despite having not practiced Wing Chun since the invasion began (in order to conserve what little food his family had to survive), he proceeds to mercilessly crush each of them with a brutal barrage of his martial art mastery, showing none of the restraint he exhibited in previous engagements. His skill arouses the interest of Miura, who seeks to learn more about Ip and see him fight again.

The Japanese soldiers eventually find Ip at the cotton mill. Miura tells Ip that his life will be spared if he agrees to instruct the Japanese soldiers in martial arts. Ip refuses and challenges Miura to a match, which Miura accepts, both because of his love for martial arts and because refusing the challenge would be a humiliation to the Japanese. The match between Ip and Miura is held in public in Foshan's square. At first, the two fighters seem equally matched, but Miura soon finds himself unable to penetrate Ip's impeccable defense and becomes overwhelmed by his relentless and direct blows. He is helpless to defend himself as Ip effortlessly uses him as a wooden dummy, inflicting a severe beating on him and clearly winning.

The Wooden Dummy

As the beaten general lies down after his defeat, Ip looks over to the cheering Chinese crowd and spots his wife and child with Chow. Suddenly, Miura's enraged deputy Sato shoots at Ip, sparking a scuffle between the Chinese audience and the Japanese soldiers. During the scuffle, Li Zhao kills Sato with Sato's own gun. Ip is taken away amidst the chaos. The epilogue reveals that he survives and escapes to Hong Kong with his family with the help of Chow Ching-chuen. There, Ip establishes a Wing Chun school, where his students come to learn martial arts from him, including Bruce Lee.

 This are a few values that I obtain from this film.

Humility goes a long way.

Although Ip Man was a top martial arts exponent, he never saw the need to prove himself to anyone. His humility won over many friends in the town to him. This is one big lesson for leaders. Although you might be the smartest and most capable of your group, if you choose to stay humble, you will gain a lot of respect from your followers. On the other hand, if you choose to throw your weight around, you will probably end up humiliated, like the man from the North who came to challenge Ip Man.

Your values make you a good leader.

At the end of the show, Ip Man managed to unconsciously rally the township of Fuzhou to himself through a mix of his values and ability. A leader doesn’t just need talent for people to follow; people will follow a man who is rooted in strong values and knows what he believes in. As a leader, we must clear about who we are and what we believe in.

 Balance is the key to life.

Throughout the show, we observe that Ip Man is a man who is family oriented, calm, cool and collected in his handling of conflict and it shows in his fighting style as well. As a leader, we need to understand that success comes not by striving anxiously for a single cause, but by a holistic, balanced approach to all things in life. 

Train diligently. even when you're alone. 

That the scene where Ip Man quietly trained with his Wing Chun dummy. From this, I learnt that in order to achieve success, we must keep practicing with all of our effort. For example, If I wanted to be a superb football player like Cristiano Ronaldo and Leonel Messi, I must do training everyday to obtain a better improvement. Or if I wanted to be a doctor, I must study hard and smart to get the best result and achieve my dreams.

After I watched this movie, it's really boost up myself to be a determined and hardworking person. I also had watched the sequel of Ip Man, Ip Man 2  and now I'm waiting for Ip Man 3 which will be released on 24th December 2015 in Hong Kong.

How Would Your Life Be Different If You Are A Famous Hollywood Film Star ?

If I am a famous Hollywood film star??
My life will be so different from what I am being right now. All I have to do is acting, acting and acting.

"AIM FOR THE STARS"

If I am a famous Hollywood film star,  

I don't have to go to school or university anymore and make more money by acting.

Just do my acting job and collect money as much as I could. I'll make sure that all films that I play the main role will hit the box office.

Help other people who in poor with my money.

With the money that I get from my work, I will donate a part of them to poor people. Although I'm already a popular and rich person, it's not a problem for me to do so. We need to share what we have more to the person who in need. Maybe it will courage them to become better in life and they will always remember us.

Help new actors and actresses to become a great and professional.

I will try my best to give tips to become professional performer to the new actor and actresses. As they are still new in this industry, why not the seniors give them some advices in order for them to survive in acting world.  "WORK HARD, PLAY HARD"

Daniel Craig

Give perfect expressions for any given role.

This is to maintain my "SUPERSTAR" title =). I need to do so because if I not, my popularity will go down which can destroy my carrier.

Seek theatrical representation.

At this point, I know I'm ready for a theatrical agent and I would exploit everything I've learned and everyone I know to find the right one. It's not a problem to me to try up new things. After that, it's a whole new set of problems. But, for now, the sky's the limit and I'm good to go. 

Dwayne Johnson(The Rock)

Get the sport car worth more than others

   

    Everyone have their own dream car. If I were the famous film star, I will ask the car producer to create a car which I'm the only one have on this Earth. The car will be provided with high technology gadgets so I can avoid the police speed track easily.

Built bungalow on top of Everest mountain

 So I don't have to put air-conditioner as it is already cold there and thieves cannot easily get up there to break up my house.

Sylvester Stallone

I would have my own jet to places around the world. 

   

First of all, I want to go to Mecca to perform Hajj with my whole family. Then, I will travel with them and go everywhere they wanted to go. 

I would wear fancy costumes and get my hair and make-up done.

 As a film star, i need to take care of my appearance. So,I need to go to spa or saloon regularly to keep up my looking. I also can go shopping to any boutique and outlet that I want as I have lots of money.I will wear the smart and bold outfit to go for an occasion like Oscar, Grammy Awards and many others.

Vin Diesel

Open up a fans club

This is how I thanked to my fans for support my carrier until I become a famous film star. From here, I can close up with my fans and sometimes we will do events to appreciate their support because WITHOUT THEM, I AM NOTHING.

10 Tips On How To Be Confident To Speak In English

Hi everyone !! Here I want to share some tips on How to be Confident To Speak in English 

FOR THE FIRST AND FOREMOST,

1. Read the language as much as possible.

 Here, I do not mean just textbooks and assigned readings!  I mean, read things that you understand and enjoy, and that you would pick up to read even if it were in your mother language.  If you like romance novels or science fiction, read romance novels or science fiction in English!  If you read the news, get the newspaper in English. If you like sports, read sports reports in English.

2. Surround yourself with that language.  

For a semester or so, all your radio and TV, music, videos and entertainment should be in your target language.  While you are mastering English, you should try as much as possible to wake up, work, study, play, relax, eat, drink, sleep, dream and make love in English

3. Do not try to translate from your mother language to your target language, or vice versa.

Not even the world’s greatest genius can master a language by translating. Force yourself to think in the target language, and translating will come naturally.  

4. Converse informally as much as possible in English with educated speakers of that language.

Learn educated vocabulary, grammar and conversation patterns

5. Ask helps from any native speaker

We need to try to look for other alternatives in order for us to enhance ourselves in English. Ask helps from the person who is mother language in English. They could correct us in case we are using the wrong grammar as we stated in sentences.

6. Get an English grammar guide and a verb-book.

But, use them only as references when you are stuck on what to write. Do not expect to learn English from them, because you will not.  I guarantee it. 

7. Learn to pay attention to the pronunciation in English 

Listen carefully to the pronunciation of the words when other people is speaking. This could help you to pronounce the words correctly and as well knowing the meaning.

8. Organize group conversation with native speaker

Find a mother tongue English in the chat room, learning English site and chat with them via Skype or other Internet voice services. There are a lot of people who just love to talk with you over the phone or online to help you learn. Or maybe you can offer to teach them a little bit of your language in return. That there is something the way everyone gains from this experience. If you are in a country or city that you do not have a chance to find a friend of English and the mother talk on the phone or the Internet is the next best thing

9. Having a dictionary

Keep a translation dictionary with you at all times to translate a certain word as you hear it. This keeps learning fresh and up to date.

10. Practice 

Always practice to gain confidence. Once you have the confidence, you can speak English fluently. For example, doing grammar exercises, playing words maze an so on.

This is one of my initiative to improve my English. In Clash Of Clans game, I join an international clan which use English to communicate to each other. 

Hopefully this entry can help you 
to become more CONFIDENT to speak in English.

GOOD LUCK !! =)

Challenges In Acquiring English

Are you having difficulty in learning English? You say to yourself: "If only I could learn English better, then I can do much more than that."? If you answered yes to these questions, and I'm sure you're wondering how you can do so. In this article, I would like to explain some of the problems faced by me in acquiring English. It can be divided into 4 parts which is 
WRITING, READING, SPEAKING and LISTENING

• WRITING 

1. Cannot understand on how the English language really works 

Writing is the most difficult skill that learners of any foreign language may face. We always having problems in selecting the right grammar to use in making sentences.


2. Influenced to do direct translating from mother language

As we know, many of us always do this in translating into or from English language. We translate the words by words from our mother language and write the meaning in English sentences.

• READING

3. Mispronounced the words

There are differences in English usage in English-speaking countries in terms of spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. We always mispronounce the words because the words are  unfamiliar to us.


4. Misunderstanding the meaning and content guess
English language having such an extensive vocabulary and complicated grammar. Students rarely exposed to the slang words used by English speakers in every day conversation. Sentences can be predominantly filled with slang words, so maintaining a real sound of words can be difficult for anyone who doesn't understand what they mean.


5. Not said in right intonation

The variations in the different forms of English can often be difficult to understand. For example, the difference between using formal and informal language or the differences between spoken and written language. 

• SPEAKING

6. Students speak more of their native language than English

The lower the students’ level or ages, the more probable it is that they will speak their native language most of the time. Some will even chat in pairs or small groups, completely oblivious to what is going on in class.


7. Lack of vocabulary

Vocabulary is one of the most comprehensive and difficult aspects of English for learners to master thoroughly. We didn't have nothing to say if we didn't wide of vocabulary.

• LISTENING

8. Cannot keep up with the speed of speaker

People who is expert in English will speak fluently in high speed. It is common for spoken English to be delivered slowly and exceptionally clearly. For a beginner, it will become problems to them in catching up the words spoken by the speaker and translating it at the same time.


9. Do not understand what they had listen to
This will occur when we didn't have wide vocabulary. They will find hard to understand what they had listen to.


10. Do not hear too much in English

Prefer to listen in mother language other than English. for example, they listen to only Malay songs, watching Malay dramas and so on.

DO NOT MAKE THIS PROBLEMS AS AN EXCUSE 

FOR YOU TO NOT LEARNING ENGLISH !!

The New ME

Hello guys... This my first time doing this kind of thing. I never been on blog before so I will try my best for it. Hope you will enjoy scrolling mine =)


The 'NEW' of me ?? hahahahha. There are nothing special about my life. All I know is play , play and play since my childhood. My mum getting worried when I cannot do reading and writing when I was Standard One. That funny right ? I only can read and write when I was in Standard Two. Pretty late huh ?

I loved sports very much especially football. For me , when I get active in sports , I can release my stress and learn new things in life. I started to reduce in sports when I was in Form 5. Mum only allowed me to get active in first three month. After that, I have put more focus on academic. My teachers also advice me to slow down my sports activity. So by hook or by crook , I had to listen to them. From that time , I rarely go out to play football with my friends in the evening. I just become like 'A GIRL' who always locked up at home.

My Teammate for 2013 (KOMSTAR FC)
This photo was taken when KOMSTAR vs SESMA.
We won by last minute goal which lead us to group champion and qualify to quarter final.
I really love this team so much.

Until right now , it's still effect me. When I at home , I rarely go out in the evening since its became a habit. After class end, I will spend time for gadgets or watching television.


THE LAZINESS HAD ENCOUNTER MY LIFE !!
