My Feelings towards Organ Donation
I feel that donating organ is a noble deed. It not only can help to save lifes but also affect the lifes of a person and maybe the family. But for me, I will not donate my organs. I will ask the doctor to keep my organs when I had died. I would like to keep my organs for my children or grandchildren or even the next generation. In case of one day, if they need organs, they can take mine. I am quite a selfish person. On the other hand, I can say to be very care of my next generations.

Article on Rise in Fatal Accident and How to Reduce Them
Rise in Fatal Accident and How to Reduce Them
By Joanne Lee
The marked increase in fatal accidents on Malaysian roads is a cause for concern. In fact, Malaysia has one of the highest accident rates in the world, for a population of only 24 million.
During the festive season, our country records the highest number of fatal accidents involving vehichles. Very often, entire families were killed in road accidents. There are many factors as to the cause of road accidents such as drunk driving, negligent and reckless driving, talking or messaging on the mobile phone while driving and exhaustion and tiredness of the driver.
According to the statistics released by the police, drunk driving is the major factor of road accidents in Malaysia. Despite the heavy fines, the number of accidents caused by drunk drivers continues to soar. So, the government has decided to impose a prohibitive fine and a concurrent jail sentence to act as a deterrent.
Negligent and reckless driving is also another cause of road accidents in Malaysia. There is a significant increase in the number of young drivers on the road. Some of them are over-confident, negligent and reckless while driving on the road. They also flout the traffic rules like skipping the red light. the government should increase the legal age for obtaining driving license. Those found guilty of reckless driving should not have their licenses renewed.
Mobile phone users in Malaysia have skyrocketed. There are regulations to forbid drivers from taking or messaging on the mobile phone while driving but many have been caught for committing this offence. This is because the fine on RM300 has not deterred them, thus resulting in ever increasing rate of accidents. In order to be effective, the government should impose a heavier fine or a jail torm on the offenders who cause fatal road accidents.
Many accidents are cause by drivers who are unable to focus on the road,especially on a long journey. This is extremely serious during the festive season when many people return to their hometowns to celebrate the festivals. More awareness campaigns on the road safety should be organised. Drivers shlould also be reminded to have adequate sleep before embarking on a long journey on the road and rest when they are exhausted.
It is hoped that the number of fatal accidents on the road accidents are a waste of human lives and need to be prevented at all costs.
Talk on Health Consciousness
A very good morning to Mrs. Junaidi, the principal of SMK DPHA Gapor, teachers and fellow students. Our school has decided to launch a ' Health Week ' to raise awareness among students about the need to be more health conscious. As we know, obesity has been on the rise among young people.
There are many reasons why young people are obese. Firstly, having improper eating habits causes young people to be obese. They eat too much junk food such as potato chips, fries, carbonated drinks, chocolates and ice-cream. All these food items contain extra calories which are not needed by the body. Therefore, they are stored as fat, causing obesity.
In addition, there is a lack of exercise among young people. They dread exercising but they prefer to hang out at shopping malls or cybercafes. Many are couch potatoes, watching television for long hours or sitting in front of computers to surf the Internet or playing online games. Without proper or regular exercise, they do not burn off the extra fat in the body and thus, they become obese.
In most homes, there are maids to do household chores. Young people tend to be lazy, even ordering their maids to do this and that. As a result, they are less active and lose extra weight slower or not at all. In other words, their lazy lifestyle also makes them become obese.
However, there are many ways to reduce weight. Here are some suggestions. Exercise is the key to lose weight. You must exercise at least three times a week in order to burn off the extra calories or fats.The easiest exercise is brisk walking, which is simple and cheap.
You will also have to reduce your food intake. Moreover, lower the intake of food that is high in sugars such as sweets, carbonated drinks and chocolates. It is also important to reduce fat intake and thus, eat less cheese, butter, deep-fried food and so on.
Last but not least, change your eating habits. You should eat a lot of vegetables and fruits instead of junk food or food that is high in calories and fats. Eat three meals a day at a fixed time. Alternatively, you can eat small meals at regular intervals. In this way, you will not starve yourselves and overeat when you are too hungry.
Before i conclude my talks, I hope that all of you have gained an insight into the problem of obesity and learnt ways to control your weight. After all, 'Prevention is better than cure'.
Thank you.

If I were the last man on earth...........................................
If I were the last man on earth.........................
I can do anything want to do. Firstly, I will go to the shopping complex and take everything I want. For example, nice dresses, beautiful T-shirt, cool trousers and many more. This is because I no need to pay for those things and I also have nobody to pay to. Hahaha!! Everything is free of charge. Cool!! Besides that, I also will go to Speedy to take all the DVD, CD and VCD that I want. I love to watch movies and drama. I would also loved to go MBO at the Spring to watch movie. But nobody will play the movies for me. So I better go home and watch movies using DVD player. Nobody will disturb me while I watch the movie. I like it! I hate most when I am watching movie, there are other noises that interrupt me. Other than that, I will become the richest girl on earth. All the money will belongs to me. One of my hobby is collecting money from every countries. So, I will go and collect money from every countries.
If I were the last man on earth.........................
I will be very lonely and sad. Nobody will play with me. Nobody will talk with me. I only can talk to the air. I will have to do everything by my own. Nobody will help me. The city will be completely silent. I will be the only human breathing in the city. Although I am the richest girl in world, it is also useless. I have nobody to pay to. I have nobody to share with. What I can do everyday are walking around at the city, talking to the dogs or cats, shouting at the sky complaining how lonely I am and go to sleep during night time and wake up every morning, repeating the same thing everyday until I die.
If I were the last man on earth.........................
I do not want to be the last man on earth. It is very meaningless being the only human on earth although I can do anything I want.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Well, the first thing you need to know is this chicken called Grumpy had a hard childhood. His father went with another hen and left him and his mother when he was about to hatch. His mother looked after him for a few years but when Grumpy was 4 years old, his mother sold him into slavery. This is because his mother loved his father so much and she decided to go and find his father without Grumpy as a burden.
He worked as a slave for a few years at a farm located far from the town that he used to live at. The man who owned the farm was very cruel. He tortured all the slave working at his farm. Sometimes he did not even gave them food to eat for two days. Nobody suspected that he had almost a hundred of chicken working for him at the farm due to his outwards appearances he was a kind and successful farmer.
One day, Grumpy felt very fed up with his life as a slave and decided to kill the owner and escape from there. He killed the owner by pecking his jugular vein. He quickly left the farm. Shortly after the owner's family found out who had killed him, they put up a fifty thousand bounty. It was payable to whoever who found him, tortured and killed him. Grumpy was very afraid that he would be found and killed so he went to a town that was very far from the farm.
He changed his name and lived with a new life at the town with the name Snoopy. He worked as a chicken boxer there for a few years. He slowly earned enough money to rent a house there. He even met a nice hen there and started dating with her. After few years, his girlfriend got pregnant. So, he left his job as a chicken boxer and went to find another job. He found a job as a clerk at a company. With this job, he earned a lot of money because his boss was very satisfied with his attitude as a worker and made him the manager of the company.
Two years later, he got two strokes of bad luck. Firstly, his wife left him and took the children with her and went with another chicken. Secondly, his company was going through hard time and bankrupted at last. He had lost his job. That night, he went to drink at a bar and got drunk. He was standing outside the bar and looking at the car passing trough the highway nearby. He felt so desperate. He even wanted to die. Suddenly, a thought came into his mind.
The highway! That was it. He could ran over the road and be 'accidentally' killed. He staggered out over the road, trying to position himself in front of the largest vehicles as possible as he could. All the vehicles avoided him and honk furiously at him. He staggered on and before he realized it he had crossed the road and reached the other side.
This is why did the chicken cross the road...........

An experience when I have read a person wrongly
I still remembered that when I was in form one, I had read a person wrongly. I was so embarass when this incident happened. The situation was so awkward. It happen like this.......
One morning, I went to my English tuition. As usual, I took out my book and read quietly at my seat. It still have 10 more minutes before the class get started. After a while, a girl came in with her mother. Her mother was paying the fee while she was standing besides her mother. After her mother had paid the fee, she left. My teacher asked her to sit at the empty seat besides me. Firstly, teacher ask her to introduce herself. She stood up and said," My name is Annie." Then she quickly sat down. Teacher thought she was so shy so did not ask her to introduce further and started to start with the lesson.
An hour later, we had a short break for 10 minutes. So, I started to talk with Annie. Firstly, I asked her for her name. She looked at me without any expression and said,"Annie." She quickly turned back and looking at her book. I had a bad impression towards her. She seems like to be an unfriendly girl. So, from that day onwards I never talk to her again.
Until one day, I just found out that she was not unfriendly but she was just very shy and timid. One of my friend said that she is very timid in school and was so shy to talk to anybody. I felt so sorry for misunderstood her. She is so innocent. So, I went to apologize to her. So, I decided to apologize to her when she went to toilet.
Finally, one afternoon, I met a opportunity to apologize to her. She went to the toilet during the short break. I asked teacher's permission to go to the toilet after she had asked. So, I went to the toilet. There were only two toilet. The two toilet had been used. I guessed that she was at the right one so I waited her to come out in front of the door. When I heard the door was unlocked, I quickly apologizes to her with my head looking downwards. After a few minutes, there was no any response. So, I lifted up my head and I realized that the people standing in front of me was not her and she was shocked by me. I felt so embarassed and quickly walked away. When I just turned around, I saw Annie was just standing there looking at me. The situation was so awkward.
I quickly went back to class. After I went into the class, Annie also went into class. So, I decided to apologize to her again. I couraged myself and apologized to her. She nodded her head.
From that day onwards, I am very caution when I am judging a person and I will be cautions in doing anything to avoid me from doing such a embarassed thing again.
