My Pets

                                                       

                                                My lovely tiny BABY TURTLES

      Would you like to live a happy and productive life? Then get pets!.So, you must find a pet that is compatible with you or with your life style.To maintaining good mental health for living a "normal" life. Many psychiatrists have found that patients with  problems of anger management  can be calmer with a pet around the house. Sometimes, just the feel of a pet in the house can do wonders on the nerves and eliminate certain aggravation. I have found that having around multiple of pets can be difficult, but the hard work comes satisfaction and happiness. Personally, I own two baby turtles, my two baby turtles are in one tank, so they have company. Separating animals that could do harm to each other is a good method for ensuring their safety. In addition, I must remember to spend an equal amount of time with my pets ,so they does not get jealous of the other.

                          


      Many give their beloved companions names such as people Stanley, Buddy, and Mikey. By giving pets human names people feel more connected and comfortable around their animal friends. My two baby turtles names are CHUCHU and BAMBAM. My little  niece and nephews named that baby turtles .People some times are extremely attached to their pets many cater to their every whim .I always brings together  my baby turtles when I went to a vacation because I can not stay far from them for a few days.

                       
                                                 

      This "obsession" with my pets can lead to deep seeded pain and anguish when a pet passes on. I can definitely agree with that even if its not death and it’s a disappearance of an animal. Like the second day I had my turtles one escaped around 3 am in the morning and I was looking very hard for my turtle thinking of only the horrible things that could have happened to it like the dog eating him or my neighbour accidentally stepping on it. It took me a couple of hours but I eventually found my turtle and it was a terrible feeling for me. I entered home with unsatisfied feelings because I do not found my baby turtle .Tomorrow day I told my mum that my pet was missing and my mum told me that my nephews was found it in the big drain in front of my house and it totally death.

                                

      Suddenly, my tears falling down on my chubby checks and I went into my room and cried loudly. I could not control my feelings because I lost something that very valuable in my life .But im still thankful because I just lost one of my baby turtle that named CHUCHU. My mum and dad promised me to buy a new one but I refused because no one can replaced my baby CHUCHU. I decided to take care only my BAMBAM because I got the offered from the college to further my studies in diploma. Because of that I refused my parents offered to have new pets .Every holiday breaks I went home and played with my BAMBAM. I love my little baby BAMbam so much!

Comel and Comot

This time I want to talk about my pets. My faithful companion, friend to talk when lonely, and it can understand our feelings. Actually, I have two cats. But now, I do have only one. It was died in January 2015, the time when I was in Sarawak for training in PLKN. I was really sad, and I cry. I think when I back home, I will see it, but unfortunately, it gone before I met it. It name is Comel. I liked to called it Omel and it always follow my instruction.

Actually, my brother found it at near around neighborhoods. When my brother jogging, it "meowww" and my brother feel sympathy and bought it to the house. My mother feel angry at the first time, but lastly it became my mother's favourite cat. My mother always pamper it every time and I get jealousy, sometimes. Hehe.

My second cat's name is Comot. My mother give it's name because it look sloppy at the first I took it. I took it from my teacher. My teacher give it to me as she don't want too many kitten in her house. My father is a little bit angry cause I took it. But lastly, they accepted my cat. It is stubborn and hard to follow my speak. It is slowly, as it was too young at that time. Now, almost 11 months I took it and it well until now. I couldn't lose it too. 

And lastly, I had never have a better pet liked them. I love you so much, Omel and Omot. Even thought you are gone Omel, I still remembered you in my every single pieces of memories. You are the best pet that I ever had. Miss you...

                                                           MY LITTLE MONKEY

                                   

I used to have a very special pet.It was a very cute little monkey.Can monkey be a pet ? Of course !! Small monkeys can be kept as pets and trained as they are highly intelligent .I 

named my little monkey Abu because I think the name suits him.Abu was only five months  but he has losts his mother.So my father and I decided to keep Abu at our house. We  provide a suitable cage for him to sleep,eat and  play and at the same time can protect him from dangerous.

                Every morning I begin by gathering some monkey biscuits and soaking them in water so  that they soften up.I then walk to its cage to get the monkey dishes and water bottles to clean. .For your information,most monkeys love the bottle like babies,and won’t come off until you make them.Aterwards,I gather two or 
three different  fruits cause Abu really loves fruits. Before that,I cut the fruit into bite size pieces.They seem to waste less if pieces are bite  sized.Once the fruits are ready,I take the soaked biscuits out of the juice and add to the  food bowls,along with the fruits.Next,I refill the water bottle and take all of the food and  water back to the cage so its ready for Abu to eat.I then remove from the cage the dirty toys from the day  before and replace them with clean ones.

     Abu are very clean animals.He will wipes his mouth after eating and cleans his hand if 
dirty.  So,everyone is more comfortable to play with Abu.In the evening,I will take Abu out
 for a walk around my house to change its scenery.Many children will gather in front of my  house just to play with Abu.Abu  also seem happy and enjoy to play with them.

At night,I clean out the sleeping cage,so that it is ready for Abu to sleep well.

Before go to sleep,he will give me good night kiss.That such a really cute things for me.
Thats why I love Abu so much.
.

Since I continue my study at KPTM Kuantan,I have asked my brother to take care of Abu.

Besides,my family will not be lonely because Abu always can make them happy with his funny and cute actions.Abu is a part of the family and bring happiness to us.Thats all about my cute little pet Abu's.

I’m like to share my story about my pet rabbits…

I think their popularity elevated because of their beautiful appearance with funny little face; relatively quite, docile and have friendly behavior. They have smooth fur or body hair, tease everyone especially kids to touch and play with them.

When I was young I had two white rabbits. One female and one is male. Both the rabbit was given by my aunt. .I defend them from a young rabbit becomes an adult rabbit. Keep the rabbit makes me feel happy even if I have a problem or when I'm sad ... It makes me love my rabbit .. Every day I will feed them the carrot and beans and every week I will bathe and also wash the rabbit cage.

When I was in third grade, I lost my rabbits because of the negligence of my father when my father wanted to give them food. When I was in the village,My father called me to say apart from the rabbit cage .. I feel so sad .. My father had promised to buy me another rabbit but unfortunately, my sister has asthma .. Again I felt sad..

In the future, I intend to buy a rabbit as my pet to be my companion every day ....In short, keep rabbits could be very useful for kids. They can learn to take care of their loving pets that depend on them, and be responsible. Balance emotions and learn to give tolerances to other and to love pets and humans. And, least important is… rabbits are fun and playful.

People usually love the pet any kind of animal to protect them

or to make their life more cheerful and same goes to me. I have pet a cat once and her name is Lily.

Lily is cute in her orange fur body and quite chubby at her tummy because she ate a lot.

I found Lily in a market in town chasing insect on the floor and she

still a baby kitten that time. She looked hungry, thin and dirty. I thought her mom

disappeared and left her. So, I decided to take her home and take care of her. Although,

she can also be my friend to cheer me up.

I cleaned her, I feed her and always played with her during free time.

I always talked and shared my problems to her too even when she is just a cat

and can't answer back or give any advises but I feel better after told her my stories

and problems. She seemed like as if understand and know my feelings.

One day, I forgot to lock the gate and that time Lily sneaked out from

our house and she was playing outside. I called her name so many times inside our

house and there is no responded from her at all. I looked up for her in the bedroom,

kitchen, bathroom and so on but I still can't find her.

So, I went out to find her. After 10 minutes walking out from my

house, I saw her laying on the road. I thought she was just laying but when

I come closer to her, I saw she was bleeding, she might got hit by the car.

I looked at her, I felt like as if she try to communicate with me. I saw her dying

slowly in front of my eyes and I know it was time to say goodbye to her. I kissed her

for the last time and took her home to bury her.

It been years as she gone and I know she is happy in there right now.

You are truly missed Lily.

                   

Money Is The Root Of All Evil

                             


    People usually have this belief that money has destroyed societies and mankind and therefore it the root of evil. I totally disagree because it is not the money but the person who uses it. There are rich people who are doing a lot for their communities and let just say even if we get rid of all the money, I am sure human beings will find something else to use in order to get what they want. Why I disagree, because my point is crime, gambling and lack of money.

                My first point is crime. Why crime? Because a lot of people in world don’t have money. So to support their families they start committing crimes. They may not have enough strength or patience to work for money, so they turn for the easiest way. Usually the easiest way to getting money would be stealing or doing things for rich people like murder, beating up someone, and so on. Some people murder their own family members so they can become rich thanks to their property. Kidnapping usually happens for money, and even then it is rare that the kidnapped person will be returned. Smuggling is very popular among criminals. For illegal drugs or rare artifacts smugglers can get a lot of money. Everyone knows how expensive drugs are. The same goes for poachers who smuggle animals from one place to the other illegally. They can sell wild animals to people who want them as pet, and so much time, the animals can’t survive. As can be seen, money leads to lots crime in the world. If we wouldn’t have money then we wouldn’t be worrying about criminals. Laconically, greed in mankind leads them to crimes, but not money!

                Second point is gambling, as we all know in some cases gambling can literally affect the personal economic. In the hand, people can turn out to be addicted to it, as they can to drugs, smoking or alcohol. The reason why people are gambling is that most of the are likely to get stressed from working place and some of them making this job of gambling as their habit because it is easy and enjoying when you are lucky enough to win in every turn of gambling, once you entered the gambling world, there is no other way out but debt. In the meant time, for those who succeeded to follow through the games they will keep on playing until they become addicted. Addicted to gambling is the major problem that can bring a lot of negative consequence not only to the surroundings but also to the family. Pathological gamblers are to a great extent more likely to be violent with their spouses and maltreat their children. In the general explanation, money is not the only purpose that can destroy everything but the host plays a great role to control and stimulate themselves due to circumstance to avoid any particular involved to gambling.

                However, gambling is not a crime but illegal based on Islam shariah. Gambling is a habit professional gambler that can make a lot of but just minority of people in certain places can make gambling as sources of wealth. How about normal gambler? Make money by gambling is based on luck and people are not always lucky. People can win thousand ringgit and loss it as well. Even someone lost millions a lot of time in gambling but they want be able to stop gambling because gambling is addictive. Therefore, gambling is a really bad habit to do, it can make people bankruptcy and can make a lot of debt. That is why gambling is illegal in Islam.

               Last point is lack of money. Money is important for everyone because the lack of it is so painful. Everyone knows the saying “money is the root of evil”. I believe that is only part of the truth. Lack of money can makes a person unhappy, feeling not having enough and just wanting more. Even the basic illness can be change with money. For example, there is person been died and do much pain, all because unlimited money to get the best care that them could. Honestly the causes of frustration, conflict, anger or suffering mostly is lack of money. We could change our situation and find money for ultimate the answer. Money maybe cannot buy love, but money allows you to have the things to feel better and put you in better mood. It can change your feelings.

                In conclusion, actually money is not necessary the root of evil because that is three main factor that can cause the money users to do negative things that is crime, gambling and lack of money. The thing we have learned is we must control over the money in order to have better life or else money will control us. If that happen, it will bring us to the root of evil.

"Ramadhan, Syawal and You"

What can I said, this Ramadhan is totally different from other years. Which I am being apart from family and living independently in month of Ramadhan without them. I am very grateful because I have a good friends here. What people always said that, "friends with good people will result a good attitude. Otherwise, friends will bad people, will affect a bad behavior."

Assalamualaikum, My name is Nuralia Binti Rudi. I am 18 years old and continue studying in Diploma in Human Resource Management at Kuantan. This is my new task in English Proficiency I by Madam Nurul Atikah.

For me, "Ramadhan, Syawal and me" give me a blessing in which I need to study and to be independent in one time. I have to appreciate time because time is gold. Everyday I "iftar" with my friends. They are mostly from Terengganu. It's nice to meet them, they are kind person. We often share our stories, our different life stories that makes us unique. I love them very much.

When the end of Ramadhan, I feel sad. I can't feel those moments we thought after. The moments we share, we will remember forever. Thanks guys for making my "Ramadhan" one of my happiness in my life. Happy Eid Aidilfitri. I greet and forgiving with my families, especially with my parents. I do a lot of sins towards them, I am really sorry. I promised, I will study hard for my final exam. When age increased, "I get less duit raya." It's a little bit sad, but I'm okay with it. I have to accept that I am not a kid anymore. Hahahaha.

And last about me, I am grateful to be able to continue study in College Poly-Tech Mara Kuantan. Too much of memories and stories to be share, allow me to close my stories. Assalamualaikum.

Hi, I am Nurul. How does it feels like my Ramadhan, Syawal and me?
This year, my Ramadhan and Syawal are not really interesting as I growing up year by years
and it's more ungraceful since I had to celebrate my Ramadhan in Kuantan with those new
friends I have met for the first time since I went to Poly-Tech Mara College in Kuantan,
Pahang furthering studies instead with my beloved family in Kuala Lumpur.

I am celebrating my ramadhan without my family members yet still enjoying Ramadhan
with those new friends in here and new experiences having orientation for new student
July 2015 intake in Poly-Tech Mara College during fasting. It took 4 days we having the orientation with our facilitators that hardly guides and cheers all of us over 500 new students in here
and it was a good time to remember.

A week before syawal, the authority let all the new students to go back home
to prepare Syawal celebration with our family. As I came back home, I went to shopping
complex with my family and we bought new Baju Kurung for ladies and new Baju Melayu for men.
Both of them are our traditional dresses for "Hari Raya" on the first Syawal.
We also bought some casual clothes to wear on the next day.

On the first Syawal we asked apologizes to each other for any wrongs that we have made.
In Malay tradition, the old people will give some money called as "duit raya" to kids, teenagers and
to people that still not married yet. As i growing up, my "duit raya" obviously not as much as I were a kid, I have got less "duit raya" for this year even though I still not get married but still enjoying my Syawal and I am so grateful because both of my grandmothers and my grandfather, on my father sides are still alive and I still had the chance to celebrate this Syawal with them.

Even though my Ramadhan and Syawal are not really interesting for this year,
I still thanked to God for giving me such a great blessing family members.
They are always made my days, they are always there in any conditions that I have to
get through. They are always there from my day ups and downs.
I am wishing I could get the chance to celebrate my Ramadhan and Syawal in the next year.

  Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar . The blessed month of fasting. The basic aim of Ramadan  for Muslims to establish control during the month and be better Muslims.Fasting is compulsory once a child reaches puberty. Those who are ill or on a journey are excused, as are women during their monthly period or if they are pregnant or nursing because they are very weak and need the food and energy more than most missed days are made up for later in the year when one is more able. Muslims fast from daybreak to sunset.Although each nation will have its own way of going about fasting during Ramadan, it is common that a light meal is eaten at dusk to break the fast (Iftar), followed by a slightly heavier meal, and finally a light breakfast just before dawn (Suhur).

      At Suhur, I will have a balanced diet of my meals, a glass of skyjuice(as one can get very thirsty during the day) and perhaps a few slices of toast in order to prepare myself for the long day ahead. When Iftar arrives I would start with a supplication to Allah (swt) (Doa) then eat a date and drink some water. I would then perform my evening prayers before sitting with my family and have my dinner after which I will attend the local mosque for some evening prayers. Every night in Ramadan there are special, extra prayers called Terawih.This schedule is taken from the example of our Prophet, Muhammad (saw).My experience at this KPTM Kuantan is I have to break fast far from my beloved family.However,I glad because I can break my fast with my new friends from other country and we break our fast with our seniors during the orientation.We also shared our experience likes some of us that HOMESICK and always cried.

     Eid al Fitr is the most important Islamic Holiday. Millions of Muslim’s all around the world celebrate this great event. It is celebrated on the day after the month of Ramadan..The time of Eid al Fitr changes each year because Ramadan is based on the lunar calendar.The reasoning for this celebration is to promote peace, strengthen the feelings of brotherhood and family and to return back to the normal course of life after a month of self-denial and religious devotion.Eid is a large part of a Muslims life, a large part of mine. It is a celebration of thanks, of peace, of happiness, victory, remembrance, and forgiveness.Eid al Fitr is my family’s favorite holiday. My family and I cannot wait to celebrate. A week before Eid al Fitr my family starts preparing for the celebration by buying new clothes, getting haircuts for my brother and dad, and shopping for new pattern of scarfs. We like to look our best during the celebration. We enjoy it because it gives us an opportunity to all gather together and become reunited but really what I enjoy the most is to baked some types of cookies likes Almond London,Semperat and others.My beloved mom cooked Nasi Ayam Hannoi,Nasi Kaumuk(Thailand traditional) Lemang and Satay.

    We celebrate Eid al Fitr by praying solat sunat hari raya , decorating our homes, eating a lot of raya food and gathering with friends and family. On the first day of Eid, my family celebrates the holiday very similar to the way many other Muslims do. We gather together at my parents  house after the solat of hari raya to ask for forgiveness,collecting the duit raya from my sisters and brother.There are also many kids came to my house for the first of eid to celebrated the hari raya together.The main point of the kids is just to collect the duit raya and compate among of them who gots many duit raya.After we eat the food we get ready ourselves to go for our grandmother house at Sg.Golok Thailand.

This Ramadhan,my family and I were far apart.I was in Kuantan while they were in Perak.It was  quite awkward because I had to fast and survive there alone without my family.Luckily technologies help us stay connected and celebrate Ramadhan together even we are far apart.When holiday is  coming,me and my friends were very excited to go home and celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri.We took a bus  from Kuantan to Ipoh on 10pm.The journey took about 8 hours because of traffic jammed.We  arrived  Ipoh at 6.30am

For this year my family and I celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri in the village which is situated in  Kuala Kangsar,Perak.We arrived a day early before Hari Raya to gather with other family members.The day before Hari Raya,I can see my big family will busy making our tradition food which is  Lemang,Rendang and Ketupat.Moreover,having a big family is an advantage.It is because we can  simply do many jobs in a short time by diving the jobs equally.For example,the fathers who are busy with the Lemang while the mothers are busy with Rendang.I found that this is the moment that I  will never be bored to face it even for thousands of times because it can strengthen our relationship.

The night before the special day arrived my cousin and I were enjoying ourselves playing fire  crackers and fireworks.The house which is located far from the town what we called a village,will be decorated with ‘pelita’ around the house.There will be a competition that every house must decorate their house with ‘pelita’.It has been found that such activities is a legacy.People nowadays had  invented a new kind of ‘pelita’ which is made from plastic,but in my village they still maintain the   tradition making pelita that made up from bamboo stick..I followed my cousin to see the variety of  pelita that have been done by the villagers.I was so excited because the villagers were very creative  decorate their  pelita.

The first Syawal we woke up early to prepare for the meals and getting ready with our new baju  kurung while waiting for the men back from the mosque for Hari Raya prayer.After that,we will line up to seek for forgiveness from family and will move on to my eldest uncle and so on.Then,we will  enjoy all kind of food such as Lemang,Rendang,Lontong and so many more.Many of relatives  come and visit us.Then,we ate,talk and laugh together because it has been awhile we did not see  each other.We took a lot of photos with variety of pose either with family or cousins. 

                    Hari Raya  Aidilfitri  this year gives m so much memory to remember. Okay so here's some raya's picture I want to share.Enjoy !

Assalamualaikum  and greetings ...

                  I'm Siti Nur Khairunnisa Binti Shaikh Mazirizi from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.. 

Ramadha,Syawal and Me?? Let's talk about it...

                  On 20 May 2015, I have been in to the Poly-Tech mara, Kuantan, Pahang and My first's experience of fasting in Ramadan without my other family members ... Papa, Mama, Angah, Ateh, Nia, and Rizmi ... I feel very awkward with the situation going on around me ... I thought fasting which want to open? With whom? Foods and drinks what? ...

                   Alhamdulillah, here I can feel the atmosphere of the breaking of fast with friends even if they have just I know ... The blend of which is available to us in the beginning ... After that, we were able to buy a variety of delicacies at the ramadhan Bazaar ... Initially, sahur we provided by the College and distributed in front of block a in our help by our Senior..

                    On 14 July, we were able to return home to celebrate Eid with my family ... I returned to my village Chini ride my friend whose father was a friend of my uncle who lives in Felda Chini.. I went home first because I was closer than my family residing in Seremban. In the village, I helped my grandmother house cleaning, washing and other home early preparations to celebrate Hari Raya ..
