MYSELF

 MYSELF

Poem.

When I’ m by myself

And I close my eyes

I’m a twin

I’m a dimple on a chin

I’m a room full of toys

I’m a squeaky noise

I’m a gospel song

I’m a leaf turning red

I’m whatever I want to be

And when I open my eyes

What is care to be

Is me

TIPS ON TIME MANAGEMENT.

Managing time is a very important part of the life. It helps us to  manage all our daily tasks

Important tips to manage time.

1.     Complete most important tasks first.

This is the golden rule of time management. Each day, identify the two or three tasks that are the most crucial to complete and do those first. Once you’re done, the day has already been a success.

2.     Sleep at least 7-8 hours.

Some people think sacrificing sleep is a good way to hack productivity and wring a couple extra hours out of the day. This is not the case. Most people need 7-8 hours of sleep for their bodies and minds to function optimally.

3.     Devote your entire focus to the task at hand.

Close out all other browser windows. Put your phone away, out of sight and on silent. Find a quiet place to work, or listen to some music if that helps you

4.     Don’t allow unimportant details to drag you down.

We often allow projects to take much, much longer than they could by getting too hung up on small details. I’m guilty of this. I’ve always been a perfectionist.

What I’ve found, though, is that it is possible to push past the desire to constantly examine what I’ve done so far.

5.     Be conscientious of the amount of TV/Internet/gaming time.

Time spent browsing Twitter or gaming or watching TV and movies can be one of the biggest drains on productivity. It is suggested to become more aware of how much time you spend on these activities.

ISTANBUL

ISTANBUL

I have patched up some mesmerizing information about the city I love and adore the most. Istanbul is the largest city in turkey making it the crowded and busiest.

There is always a place which makes us dream and Istanbul is one of them with it’s narrow, cobbled street leading to the oldest quarters throughout the fancy suburbs, the skyscraping minarets the bazaars, golden lit-minarets and domed roof which twinkles like tiny stars at night in the sky.

Places to visit:

·       Hagia  Sophia

Hagia Sophia is considered the epitome of by Byzantine architecture. Nearly a thousand years it was a cathedral a mosque and currently a museum.

·       The blue mosque

Which does not need an introduction, is also known as Ahmed Mosque with its impressive domed beautiful tiles and stained glass windows.

·       Topkapi  palace

This fifteenth century was the primary residence of the Ottoman Sultan. The palace gives you information about the Ottoman Empire.

·       The Grand Bazaar

The grand bazaar in Istanbul is the worlds’ largest and ancient market in the world, which attracts millions.

The turkey foodJ

I have heard a lot about food in Turkey mainly the street food.

Simit which is chewy bread covered with sesame seeds (you can see simit vendors literally everywhere…)

Pide which is the Turkish pizza.

Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice is famous on the street.

The journey to this wonderful place sticks with you. The twilight golden glow of streetlight in Istanbul is what calls you back…

IF I WAS 18..

IF I WAS 18--

If I was 18

I’d join the football team

Impossible as it seems

But hey, it’s my dream!

If I was 18

I’d wanna be Invisible

But don’t you think that’s impossible?

Cuz you are not a supernatural!

If I was 18

I wanna be a queen

I’d build my castle

On an Island of just green!

If I was 18

I’d build myself a base,

I’d go to outer space,

And win the Olympic race.

If I was 18

I’d become a film star

I'll have 6 fancy cars

Okay, this Is going too far

When I am 18

I’ll just be me

Other than the UNUSUAL

I’ll be a proud teen

Peacock

Peacock

As it rustles its pretty feathers,

During the mid of May.

It flees from hunters,

It once was very gay.

Its tri-colored body

Could never be a prey.

As it took flight,

An orange shrub was spotted.

There was hope, just a ray

As it hid.

Footsteps grew louder,

Death came closer

It turned to take off.

Alas, its feathers were stuck,

He heard the hunter’s laugh

At last within his grasp

The peacock turned to its beauty

It paid the ultimate price for it!                                                                                 Aamina Wahid                                                                                                                                                              8D

My Hero

My Hero

In life people may come and go, some will be remembered and some are forgotten. I’ll never forget the person who is known as my second parent,who did efforts for me to gain knowledge, the one who has been my guide for so many years, the one who scolds and corrects me when I am doing wrong, the one who has been there as I face to reach the stepping stones in my life. The one who appreciates my efforts, the one who is always there to feed me a bit full of information that I might use someday.

How would life be without our teacher? She is the person who shapes the future of her/his students. She is none other than my class teacher. She is very sincere, hard working teacher and makes our learning process very interesting as well as creative. She's very patient and enthusiastic to teach us whenever we had questions in her classes. I like the way she teaches us. She is a teacher with good skills of teaching, friendly nature, good sense of humor.

She is an excellent teacher that we got so much from her not only knowledge but also kindness and diligence. She is my best teacher, guide, and friend. She is one of the most significant people in my life. I feel blessed to be her student.”A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart.”

Our Wallet’s Biggest Enemy

Our Wallet’s Biggest Enemy

-by Richmond Dimes

Expensive, luxurious goods are always the most desired items and our wallet’s biggest enemy. Luxury or expensive items often come with a lot of tempting advertisements, and together with that, the peer pressure to own them.

Everyone talks about them to the point that you feel that you do need such items in your lives. We feel they are better than the same thing that we can have which was a fraction of the price but are they really worth the satisfaction that they promise to bring? Does a pen that costs RM200 look and feels much better than your standard ballpoint pen that costs 50 cents? Can this be justified and rationalized? Is the feel-good factor here more important than everything else, to the point that we need to splurge our hard earned money for the feeling of something nice?

To begin, we need to understand what luxury items actually are. Luxury items are goods or items that are priced at a premium, compared to a similar product or function that are priced cheaper.

While it cannot be denied that many luxury products are usually of a better build and quality, we can sometimes find similar but cheaper ones that work just as well. As such, just because something costs more, it does not mean that there are no substitutes for that item. While luxury items are definitely nice to have, they are not and never are a necessity. These reasons include that the items are made from better ingredients and materials, or having better craftsmanship, thus justifying the otherwise unreasonable price that they command. Therein lies the rub. Are you buying something which is a necessity or is an ego trip to be the person with the most expensive bag amongst your friends, or the best clothes? The feeling of owning something that you know is better than the rest is a pleasure that many of us actively enjoy and revel in. For example, we all need clothes to cover our body. If that is the function, then any clothing will do.
