Hello everybody...SIGH..As usual,I am among the first people to comment, which can't be a good thing because it makes it hard for me to actually comment on others' views (which is more fun because you got to debate with other people).But never mind, I'll start off with my opinions.
First thing,I agree that Malaysians DO NOT take reading as their daily habits (which I think must be a crime in other parts of the world.)I think the main factor that leads to this scenario is that Malaysians are not nurtured with reading habits since they are babies.Yes,and I do really mean babies.
Children nowadays are rarely tends to read book whenever they have time to spend. they are actually tends to use the time in more interesting activity by looking for entertainment like watching televisions, hanging around with friends and so on.Parents play a big role in the job of encouraging their children to develop interest of reading. They have to be wise in the way how they want to do it. One of the usual example is bringing the children regularly to the public library. Children tend to follow what the elderly doings, so we as an adult have to show our interest in reading habits. Like the US, the government had launched on the campaign 'children see, children do'(or something like that ).
Last but not least, I hope that the Malaysians including me would change their reading habit by makes a reading as one of their hobbies and also that the parents will develop the reading habits among their children from the earliest stage. Thank you.

Time Management
Witten by: Chai Ya Yin (A121872)
Time is really sometime very valuable and precious for us, no matter who we are. As a student, I am sure that time is something wonderful especially when it is near the time of having exam going just around the corner. Isn't it? For the working adult, they may have to chase behind the time so that they can get their work done well and no need to work overtime after the tiring office hour.
However, I notice that even though time is precious for us, still, we have people that like to waste their time to loiter around. Other than that, when we are attending some special occasion like a talk or a dinner, it seems that nobody like to be puncture and always like to come after the stated time. As for me, I think that this should not be a attitude in our own self.
In my point of view, I think that having good disciplin can help us to manage our time well. When we can disciplin ourselves, i donot see any impossibility for us to not be puncture for attend any occasion. Other than that, good time management also can ensure that we will not be rushing when doing some particular work .
I think that parents and teachers are the main character that should share the information that time management is really a part of our daily lives. This is because they are the earliest people we get to know when we are born in this world. When we get a correct perception from them that having good time mangement can help us a lot when we see from different point of view, it will for sure make us aware what we are actually doing.
Having good time management also make sure that we can be a systematic in our daily life. This is because everyday we have to make good use of ouir time so that we will not wasting in but in state we can use it for other much more meaningfull thing such as serve in the old forks home .
In conclusion, I strongly believe that if we can manage our time well, we will surely gain more good than bad from it.

Books...
Written by : Chai Ya Yin (A121872)
Talking about reading books, how many of us really know and enjoy the real meaning and value of reading a book? The answer is definitely a 'No' towards such a question. People nowadays read just for their studies purpose or have to read more in order to fulfill their working requirement, so that they can know more about a particular case and can present it during the meeting.
As for me, I see reading not only as a mean to gain more knowledge but also to entertain myself. I grown up in a family without any television entertainment. When I were still young I always read - newspaper, novels, story books, medical books... everything that I can have, just to equip and expose myself to different kind of knowledge and news that are happening around me. Thus, it has been a habit for me till now. I still enjoy reading novels and it somehow entertains me a lot, also in a very different way.
As I read, it also gives me a very good space to imaging about what is actually happening and this let me to flow together with the storyline. Reading enriches my life a lot, without it I am sure that my life will for sure be a very dull and I will just keep myself in the small towel that I am going to build it around me.
In my point of view, I think that reading habit should be practiced since a very young age. We even can tell story to the little baby who is about age to learn speaking. It really affects them a lot. This will give them a harmony perception towards reading it should not be just a saying only. We must prove it through our own action.
Other than that, school also play a very important role. Normally, the teachers will just ask the students to read and write the summary or report regarding the particular story books. However, is this really a effective way to promote reading in the young, naive spirit? How many students will really read and then write the report according to what they understood about the story? Usually, they will just copy and past the story outline written at the back of the book and pass it up as it was a homework.
In this case, I think that the teachers can put in another way round to promote the reading habit among the students. For example, I think that giving the students an animation or slide show regarding the particular story book a quite a good way to stimulate the student to go and find out that book and read about it. When they watch the animation about the storyline, it will raise their curiosity towards the story and this may help them to proceed more for the further reading.
Besides, the reading festival and also the reading camping that are held by the government show that they also care about the reading and knowledge level that is developing among the Malaysian. Although sometimes all these activities may not help a lot , but it can at least spread some news about the reading habit among the Malaysian and indirectly it serves as a call for all the Malaysian that reading is really important for us, especially in today’s globalisation world. Without skill, technique, and knowledge, it is really hard for us to fight not only among ourselves and also with other countries.
By setting a reading corner in the shopping mall is also quite a good point to look forward. This is because when it is place there it can help to attract people who go shopping. This also can be served as a place for them to have a rest and read some books after tired of shopping. The books should be off wide variety and cannot restricted to some people only. Everybody is welcome to be there.
Thus, in conclusion, everything that we can should be done in order to let today’s people really enjoy reading and have this practice of reading untill we succeed the Japenese.

MOVIE ANSWER
1(a). Catherine and her father describing as too close relationship. This is because Catherine willing to go back to her house just because her father doesn’t pick up her call. She also willing to quit her study just to take a good care of her father. She doesn’t want to send her father into mental hospital and willing to care for him in 5 years.
1(b) Catherine and her sister are looking not so close. She said that she hate her own sister. Her sister was describing to conquer and control her life and her sister wasn’t believe that catherine who are the one wrote that book.
2. In my opinion, Catherine is strong character. For example, Catherine still survive eventhough her closest person also said thet she is crazy. At the beginning of the story, Catherine show her weakness which cant accept her father’s death. But when the movies goes on, Catherine show its positive character. Hal and her sister said that the book is not belong to her, but she try hardly to make them believe her words even though finally its too late to prove it.
3.The word that Catherine said at the end of the movie is describing about her life,. She make her life become too harder, and making everyone looking her in negative condition. Our opinion state that Catherine tried to said her regretness about the flowing of her life. Catherine wants to start it from the beginning again so that her life become not complicated as it. If she make her life as in easy way, so that she could be happy at the end of it.
4. The movie want us to learn more about responsibility, believe in ourself, try to reach down inside our heart, and something which impossible is not impossible as we have unshakeable determination and work hard for it. Proverb suitable is where the will is, there’s the way. Since we want to achieve something, that is not impossible as there have the way to make it true.
