Watching movies...

Our tutorials are currently spent watching movies brought by Amelia and Alicia...how nice to spend your class doing such interesting activities...we are not burdened with reading or learning, we just need to watch movies about teacher...

some movies that we watched that I haven't commented on are:
  • Lean On Me
  • Finding Forrester
  • CHALK
  • Passion
all the movies are thoughtfully done...we were inspired by it and we can learn from it...
Like Dr Jaya said, good teachers only exist in movies...I would LOVE to prove him wrong and hopefully one day, I can be a good teacher also...

If only Malaysia has some good movies about teachers, I'll be one happy person...

Fairytales...

Dont we all wish we were in fairytales...living happily with others by our side...Getting whatever we want...
It seems like every girls wish to live in a fairytales...Being with Prince charming and living happily ever after...getting all the beautiful clothes and expensive jewelery are every girls' dream...

but what girls dont realize is how much a fairytale deceives them into believing that all girls are needy, weak and a pushover...

taking Rapunzel for example, she is weak and only hopes for Prince charming to come and save her...it shows that a girl needs a boy or a girl cannot survive the world...

and taking into considerations how girls in fairytales are always beautiful and skinny, shows that is what we need to be happy...for a man to take notice and eventually be happy ever after...ugly women are portrayed by witches, and evil stepmom which is irrelevant to evryone...cant a girl with not so pretty face be nice???

bringing this inappropriateness into considerations, I decided to make my research paper entitled 'Women' treatment in fairytales'...I will research on the treatment that women received in fairytales and the significance of it for students live...

well, now, I only need to find more texts to be used and more reading to be done....

You will never get a second chance in life

I believe it is true...in life, if you make a mistake you will never get a second chance...In fact sometimes, you dont even deserve a second chance...That is why I believe you should always keep that principle in mind so that you will think twice before doing anything...

But on the other hand, mistakes are mistakes...we sometimes make mistakes without realizing it...Thus, it is fair for someone who made inescapably mistakes not getting a second chance...dont they deserve to be given a second chance???

however, logically, a mother that abandon her child is not entitled to have a second chance right???she decided to left the baby instead of be responsible to it...but in 'The Merry maid' that particular mother managed to get a second chance...yes, she did not get to take the child away from the adopted family...but she is able to see the child...held the child's hands and also be around that child...

and for that, I got my idea to write on my position paper...the title is 'You will never get a second chance in life'... i am going to argue on this fact...using 'The Merry Maid' as my text...I'll do my best for this topic...
