Kem Membaca 1 Malaysia

So last week my school held something called Kem Membaca 1 Malaysia, or in English, Reading Camp 1 Malaysia.  Organized by the school library team, it was designed to encourage the students to read more.

During the duration of the event, we had word-search and a quiz consisting of randomize questions, even though it was from last year... But, the most interesting event happened on the third day, where our English teacher, Pn Monica, told us to get into groups of two and talk about our story books to other classes.

When the time came, the entire class scattered and went to their respective classes. I was paired up with Chung Wei and together we went to the Form 1 classes to introduce and talk about our books, titled Wonder and what would Google do ?respectively. Overall, the students responds were quite interesting ,with most asking where to get the books, to the odd questions like why would I read a boring book.

Anyways, it was kinda fun to introduce a book to Form 1 students as the book we're reading could help them one way or another. Besides, their English language can be improved by reading or listening from the right sources !

I would like to thank Pn Monica for the opportunity, since this activity is actually kind of fun to be executed.

Cheers,
Chua

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...

HURRAH A FREE TOPIC

Finally, after a long time, we finally get a free topic to discuss. Simply marvelous ! So, even though everyone would probably disagree/ not read this, but I would love to share some WW2 stories. Have you ever heard of the myth, "Carrots will improve your eyesight." ? It is a very common myth, usually spread by mothers in an effort to encourage their children to eat carrots on their plates. But, has anyone ever told you where the myth came from ? As I said at the first paragraph, this myth obviously came from WW2. During World War 2,  the British Royal Air Force developed new and improved radar technology. This helped them to fight back the Luftwaffe planes during the dead of night, as German fighters bomb various strategic and civilian targets, such as certain air force bases, ports and cities to cripple Britain and forcing them to surrender. The invention of the new radar technology was really successful. Due to the conditions of the war, black-out events, where e...

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...
