What cause people hard to talk to each other

Sometimes, silence is the best communication between people, without talking anything, you know what I am thinking about and I know yours. However, most people keep silent because of it is hard to talk to each other, it is hard to open our heart, express our emotion in front of people.

Most people agreed that language barrier cause people hard to talk to each other. For example, how can an Indian who only knew Tamil communicate with a Britain who spoke in English? It is really difficult for them to know each other well and talk to each other. Besides, what made people hard to talk to each other is their different mindset, perception and views. Every people have their different views of life and it is hard to find a person who shared the same thing with you.

With references to movie entitled “Thousand Years of Good Prayers”, it clearly showed some reasons that cause people hard to talk to each other. For example, Mr. Shi’s daughter found it hard to communicate with her father and express herself in front of him because of the generation gap and clashes of opinion. In addition, Mr. Shi likes to talk with Madam who is an Iranian because they are same generation and same aged group. Besides, they share their same feeling that is they want their children who live in America to de happy.

One of the examples from the movie is one party refuses to talk cause it hard to communicate each other. Mr. Shi try to persuade his daughter to talk but his daughter refuse to talk, she tries to create barrier of silence between them. For me, it is not hard to talk with my family and my friends. However, it is hard for me to express my emotion in front of them. I think this because of the upbringing. My family members don’t know how to express themselves well, me too. For instance, although my parent never said that they love me, but I know they care about me very much.

People nowadays become more “closed”, they try their best to keep their secret in their heart instead of let others know. We should try to open our “mouth” and our “heart”. We should try to express more emotion and tell people what is in our mind .

My dream~~~

Everybody has a dream, so do I, but not everybody is able to achieve what they wanted to be.

From childhood, I am full with ambitious to walk my own way, to make my dreams come true and to make my imagination to become reality. I will try and do every best in making my dream come true. Being an architect is one of my “great dream”, every time when I come across the building which is unique and elegance in its design, I will have an eager to built one for my own.

For me, being able to design a dream home for my family and make the place “sweet home” for family members is definitely bring a lot of satisfaction to me. Undeniable, this is also one of the main objective and target to be achieved by all building architect.

In order to make my dreams come true, I grasp all opportunity in enhancing my drawing skills from early age in primary school, I participated in activities related to the design and creativity. I learned a lot of designing information from the magazine, enhancing my knowledge through observing different characteristics of building design by different masters. While observing and appreciating the excellent design, I am always imagine that sooner in future, I will be able to design with my own creativity, making people’s dream to have a nice home come true, as well as my dream realization.

I wish to deliver the style and uniqueness of culture for various countries through building architecture. Architecture, is a non-verbal communication. Through building architecture, people are able to understand the culture and life style of that particular place. Uniqueness in building architecture will represent the cultural and historical background of the country. Following the ramp up in tourism industry, indirectly bring up the economic for the country as well as the contribute to the elevate the pride for the nation.

Pressure~~~

It's two weeks before midterm exam...I feel really really pressure now...This week we have to finish a lots of assignments: Applicable Maths , Physics test, Economic test, Economic presentation and English public speaking...I think I will " fully utilised" this week.

I went back home last Friday...I feel like don't want to come back here. My house is a place for me to rest, relax and stay forever. I hope that I can stay at my house therefore when I feel pressure I will glad that my family members are with me. They will company me and make me feel relax...It was a big different as I stay in student house. Although I have all my friends here but I wouldn't feel relax with them. It will make me feel more pressure as I saw they all can study for 24 hours non stop. I know that I should catch up but it make me feel tired. My room mate can sleep at about 2.30 a.m in the morning and wake up at 7.30 a.m to continue study. Wow, she is so hardworking...or maybe I'm too lazy.

I don't know why all the lecturers made all the assignments in the same week. One thing that make my glad is all my assignments is on different day in this week. However , I saw my room mates are going to be crazy. Three of their assignments is on the same day: English public speaking, Economic presentation and Physics test while they will have the Economic test on the following day.

I hope that I can do well in all my assignments but I'm quiet worry about it especially Physics. I don't know why I feel unhappy when I will have Physics test. I like the lecturer but I don't like Physics. I always feel nothing to study for physics as there are only a few notes. However during the test, the question made my feel like want to cry...I will work hard for it.

I hope that my English lecturer who is "kind" ,"young" and "sincere" will allow us no need to post a new blog for the two coming weeks~~~

Normal week

After finished two tests (Physics and Chemistry), I just left one test-Applicable Mathematics. This is the subject I like most since standard one. I like calculation and feel happy when I can get the correct answer. However, the Chemistry test that I sat last Friday had a lots of calculation that I don’t know how to solve it…So sad…I like calculations in Applicable Mathematics but not in Chemistry, it make me feel so stress to solve it.

OUR club had organized a summer camp for all the JPA students. We will go to JUNGLE this Friday until Sunday. I’m not interested at all. I hate camp very much since the day I went to National Services and came out from there after two weeks. Fortunately, my mother asked me to go back this weekend because my cousin’s wedding is on Saturday. He is the closest cousin with me. We always play with each other when I’m small. I’m glad with him. Although I cannot participate in the summer camp, but I still hope all my friends can enjoy their weekend.

Next week almost all JPA Ausmat students will have an English Essay test. Besides, Economics test also on next week. I don’t know why, but this is the most boring subject to me. I feel sleepy every time I open the text book and decide to read it. What I always do is open the book, read 2-3 sentences, close it and do other thing. Actually at here, life is very boring. Every day after school and go back student house, the only thing for my roommates and me to do is studying, no time for entertainment because we have test every week for different subjects.

Although is very busy, but I hope that all students here will remember Mother’s Day is coming soon. I will go back home and celebrate with my family. This is the happiest thing for me this month. I know most of the students here are far from house but hope that they can go back home on this important day. I wish that all mother in world will happy on that day.

10/4/09 nothing special...

I was so tired today. Yesterday, I celebrated my friend’s birthday until 3.30a.m. at 1U Neway Karaoke. We both sang a lot of songs from 10p.m. until 2.30a.m. I felt happy and glad with him. It costs not so expensive for members while one people only RM12++. When I went back student house, I saw Nana, who was ironing her clothes. It made me shock because it was already 2.30a.m. and she still haven sleep. What she told me is it was still early!!!!

I have a lot of homework this week…especially Physics, I don’t know why I always cannot understand the concept and apply it in the questions. It is difficult to me. Chemistry lecturer also gave us three sets of question papers to finish it. Furthermore, I will have my Economics test next Wednesday so I need to do revision in this weekend. Wow…I really don’t know how can I finish all this thing in one day because I have promised my friend to go shopping on Sunday.

Yesterday I have did the impromtu speech for English in library. I was so worried about it because my friends said it is difficult. Luckily my question was no very hard, I think it is the most easiest one among my friends. But I don’t know how to present it in a better way. I think out a lot of points but I don’t know how to relate it and give examples.

I think is better for me to have a nice sleep now. Mr Derick said weekend is more happy but I don’t feel any happiness now. I think most my friends also cannot enjoy the weekend because of the homework.

Scary night

So boring, I’m alone in my room at student house now. All my roommates went home only, me…I just went home last week. Therefore I don’t think I want to waste another five hours in bus this week.

Actually it is quiet nice to be alone in a big big room but this morning Miss Say told us some of her experiences when she was studying and stayed in house with her friends. She said it happened at midnight which is 14 of July according to Lunar calendar. She said at midnight her room window suddenly open seem like have people opened it but she was sure that she had closed it before she slept. She was woken up by the sound like people pulling a packet of sand on the roof while her friend heard a sound like dog crying. It frightened me.

Out of my expected, this week didn’t have speech. So happy, I can have a very relaxing weekend. However next week still need to have a speech. This Wednesday, I went to SS2 to ask some information about Erican Language Centre. It was only some information about the courses they offer and the fee of course but it took me two hours and more. The person in charge there kept explaining the syllables there. I really felt sorry for my roommate who was fetching me there and waited me for two hours. Thank you, Shung Ling!!!!

This afternoon, I had my lunch with my friends at Italliannies. We went there because of the lunch promotions. But…we were cheated by the advertisement. It stated that one set lunch with drinks, soup and a plate of food cost RM13.90 ONWARDS!!! All of us didn’t notice the word ‘ONWARDS’. The menu shows most of the food are above RM14 and about RM20 and above…not include the service charge and government tax which are 15%. Therefore my wallet is empty now!!!

That is all for this week. I still feel scare now. Hope that I can sleep tonight.

Brother's birthday

I went home last Friday, celebrated my youngest brother's birthday.I felt warm when stayed at home with my parent and siblings.I bought two presents for my brother.I think he will like it. Besides, some of my relatives also celebrated my grandmother's birthday which was one day earlier than my brother. We had dinner together, the dishes were so delicious. Therefore I ate a lot and now I need a lot of courage to stand on the balance.

In addition, I felt very happy last week because can went back home although is quiet tired went to Pudu Raya alone by LRT. Morever I needed to walk a long distance from LRT station to the bas station. The sun was so hot but I had no choice rather than walk to the bas station. It took me five hours to go back Butterworth. The only entertainment for me in bus is sleep!!!

Last Saturday, I went shopping with my secondary school friends. Besides, we also went to Youth Park which is located at Penang island and it is a park for people to spend their leisure time. Most of people there are about 50 years old and above. We took many photos there and did some exercises. When we went back by ferry, we shared our life experiences. It was happy to meet with friends who were long time no see.

Last week ,one thing that made me nervous was impromtu speech because I can't do any preparation except read more. However, I was so lazy to online and search for some latest news in Australia. When I attended Chemistry class, it was quiet funny because Miss Prima kept calling my name like " Hooi Ying, do you understand?" "Any question?Hooi Ying, look here."Actually... I was looking at her...So I don't know why she still called me...

Last week was quiet relaxing after test. Time seems like passed faster. That's why people said, happy time always passed very fast.
