Raining..

2011-02-16T18:34:00.003+08:00

Why suddenly the rain just pour down like it came for no where... It is so hard for drivers to drive and seeing those who use bicycle and motorcycle to rush back home felt so pity at them... Hmm~ It seems like only a few days of sunshine but now the raining pour down like opening a tap water.. Hmm~ Wish that the rain will not be so heavy because it may flood some places... But also Thank God for the rain.. :-)

Love,
Virona @ AiLing
XOXO

Its the right time..

2011-02-15T21:29:00.003+08:00

I think now is the right time that i should give up loving him.. It is not worth loving someone who do not love you just the way you are.. Although i may have so much time loving him, but it still leads me to have a good memory with him.. I guess now i should stand up and move on.. Although i may sometimes be so childish thinking that he may love me.. But in actual fact he dun.. So why stuck here... Lets move on to live a life that is full of challenges..

Love,
Virona @ AiLing

Don't cry for anyone thats not worth crying for

2011-02-15T20:36:00.003+08:00

Never to cry for anyone that is not worth crying for.. Because all you will end up is only wasting your tears on them.. If really feel bitter in you heart, just cry for a while than everything will be alrite.. :-)

How stupid am i???

2011-02-15T20:25:00.002+08:00

Hmm~ How stupid can i be repeating the mistake that i had done... Haiz... So disappointed at myself.. Not blaming anyone for my mistake.. Its seems like only last year i had done the first mistake and now i repeated it again.. The stories goes about this:: I had been easily trusting people's word, thought that it is a promise that they will not break.., but in the end i only get disappointment.. As an example, recently, i trust a person whom he say something that makes me believe that it is true.. Trusting him makes me spend something on him.. Hmm~ Although now that i realized its too late, but i just wanna get over this.. Just as someones say, "If you have a broken relationship, only cry cry only enough edi.." Hmm~ I thanks God also for this person... Let me learn a new lesson.. :-) Smile always...

Love,
Virona @ AiLing

You think proplerly before you say anything please... Come lar... I dun scared of you!! You make me hate you even more right now!! For your information, i ask you stop acting in front of me because its the truth.. I speak the truth rite now!! In the first place, when you hate 'THEM', you always talk bad about 'THEM' to me complaining that they are very annoying and so on!! But now, what happen?? You join into their club!! And you started acting like one of them already 'THEM' already!! Its the truth!! You even now started to gossip other people and they think that they are a good lecturer to lecture people!! Hmm...

2010-04-06T16:04:00.001+08:00

Its not fair.. Is life really originally not fair?? Why this things keep happening to me again?? Is it that I am easy to be bullied or what?? It’s not my fault actually but everyone keep blaming me as if I am the one who had done wrong.. Why can’t everyone just stop doing this to me?? I’ve said that I had enough of it.. Friend?? I thought that they are my real and true friend, but what it had end up to be?? A friend treat a friend unfairly shows that they are my friend?? If this is you guys real attitude, so I had to face it!! I can’t count on you guys anymore.. I guess that you guys should stop acting in front of me or even to show that you care but in actual fact you are not!! Please!! You guys also know that I had enough of this, but why you guys still cause problem and difficulties to me?? I had suffer much, can you guys just stop all this things?? My problem that other people had cause still not yet solved and now you still want to cause problem to me again?? You guys feel happy is it when you see that I am suffering?? It had been through for months already.. If you guys don’t like me, why don’t just come up to me and tell me honestly instead of making me suffer!! Sometimes you guys don’t know and don’t feel anything than you had make me suffer.. Thanks so much for everything that you’ve done .. Or should I say, thanks for acting in front of me!! You are quite a good actor indeed!! I thought that I can count on you, can trust you but now I know I can’t!!

Hate it!!

2010-04-06T15:44:00.001+08:00

I hate it!!

I hate people that act kind to me!!

I hate people who are not honest to me!!

I hate people who treat me unfairly!!

I hate people who are ego!!

I hate people who thinks that they are perfect and good!!

I hate people who talks bad about people without noticing that their mistake!!

I hate people who betray me!!

I hate it!!! I hate it!!

The Pearl Moral Value

2010-02-18T23:54:00.002+08:00

Moral Values

Moral values are important in life. Moral values readers make judgments on which actions are right or wrong based on certain virtues, qualities and principles. These virtues are universally accepted. Honesty is a virtue which is upheld by all societies. There are many other positive qualities that would help us become a better person. Looks at some of the moral values found in the novel below:

Honesty

Being honest is important as it shows one’s character. There is a saying that honesty is the best policy. These are not mere words as people who are honest are highly regarded by everyone. In the story, Kino and Juana are honest to each other. They speak the truth and are god-fearing people. Juan Tomas and Apolonia are also honest. They do not cheat or steal from others to prosper. From Kino and Juan Tomas, we learn of many who have cheated these poor people in parting with their pearls. In the past, these people have even employed agents to sell their
pearls in the capital. But, the agents cheated them and they never heard of them nor saw their pearls again. From the actions of the characters especially Kino and Juana, we learn the value of being honest.

Trust

Trust is important in a person’s life. We need to be trustworthy so that people will have high regard for us. In the story, Kino trusts Juana, Juan Tomas and Apolonia. He trusts his people and knows that everyone is interested in him and his family’s well-being. The people are united and they are together. When Coyotito is stung by the scorpion the neighbours gather in front of Kino’s brush house. Similarly,they follow Kino and Juana to see the doctor to treat Coyotito. The element of trust is very important when we live as a society. Kino knows that he can trust his people.However, things change after Kino finds the pearl and people become envious of him. In the story, Kino takes his pearl to La Paz, the pearl trading centre to sell his pearl. He does so because he trusts the people. However, Kino realises that they are trying to cheat him and defies them. Kino starts to be suspicious of people especially when he has a strong hunch or a feeling deep inside him. Juana trusts her husband and follows him to the mountain to escape evil men. She trusts Kino as her and Coyotito’s saviour. Even when Kino asks her to use another trail and escape from the trackers, while he misleads the trackers, she refuses to do so. She knows she can trust Kino to safeguard her and Coyotito. We learn from the actions and thoughts of the main characters the importance of trust.

Bravery

Being brave to face the challenges that confront us is a positive quality. We need to be brave in order to act in the best possible way. In the setting of the story, the people depend on the sea to make a living. They go out to the sea to catch fish and also dive into the sea to look for pearls.Going underwater by holding one’s breath is not easy. It requires skills and one needs to be brave. Kino is a brave man who has great stamina. He can hold his breath for more than two minutes underwater. Kino is brave. He faces the intruders and attackers, putting up a fight. In self-defence, he kills one of his attackers. He also kills three trackers knowing very well that they are out to kill him and his family. Kino shows that he is a brave man throughout the story. It is difficult to make important decisions in life. Kino makes some important decisions because he is brave to face the consequences of his actions. He is willing to keep the pearl even though he knows for sure that evil eyes are prying and malicious individuals are out to rob him of it. Even after being attacked twice, losing his canoe and house, Kino wants to fight back. He is brave to travel to the capital to sell his pearl. This action is seen as defying the older order of life. Kino is brave to break away from his ‘life-trap’, knowing that his family needs a better future. Juana is also brave. She acts fast in deciding to flee the place. She shows that she is a brave woman. When Coyotito is stung by a scorpion, she sucks at the wound to try to get the poison out of his body. She does not fear her life and risks it to save her baby. She makes a brave move by trying to throw the pearl away, knowing very well that Kino disapproves of such an intentions. We learn about bravery from the actions of the characters and their reactions to situations.

The danger of greed

While greed is seen as a theme in the story and how it leads to evil actions, it is also seen as a moral lesson. Greed shows its ugly face throughout the story. It is because of greed, the desire to be rich and great, that people resort to evil ways causing others to suffer and be miserable. In “The Pearl” we see the downfall of a man and his family. Kino loses everything because of others’ greed. Kino loses his livelihood, brush house, canoe, and is forced to flee from people who are out to kill him and his family. Kino also loses his future. The greatest loss for Kino is the death of Coyotito, who he wishes would be educated and be his family’s hope for a greater meaning to life. But, Coyotito is shot accidentally when he is mistaken as a coyote pup by one of the trackers. Greed is seen through the actions of the doctor, pearl buyers, attackers and trackers. The neighbours become envious of Kino. Everyone wish to own the pearl and make a fortune out of it.The doctor agrees to treat Coyotito because he is driven by greed. He has his own evil plans in place. Greed also drives the other to be cunning, malicious, intolerant, selfish, calculative, insincere, possessive and violent. Greed is the cause for men to turn violent and attack Kino. It causes people to kill. It brings great hardships, sufferings and miseries to Kino and his family. In the end, it causes Kino to be aimless and lose the meaning of life. We learn that greed leads to one’s downfall.

Memories

2009-07-23T19:23:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, my school host an activity "Berjalan untuk sihat"... Five of us together with michelle went late for the activity as we went to uk... When we arrive at school, they had started walking down... So we straight away run in front of the teacher... Having so much fun during the activity as five of us chase each other... Hehe... They also keep reminding me bout my shoelaces... Hehe... They i say don't care first, they chase me again... Hehe... Having so much fun... First time wor... Then, by the time we reach school... we were so tired and berbaris to take water... Then got our lucky draw number... When the time for the lucky draw, Sally, Jaclyn n me got the hamper... Its a wonderful miracles as three of our 5 sekawan had won the hamper n sum of them were not satisfied... But i thank God for everything that he had provided... Thank God...

Thank God for him!!!

2009-07-21T17:36:00.002+08:00

你曾经说过开心的时候,你会比我更快乐,

从今以后当我难过的时候,你会一直抱着我,

Stop blaming others!!!

2009-07-15T16:02:00.002+08:00

Stop!!! Stop it!!! Stop blaming others!!! It is your fault!!! It is you who cause this meas and trouble!!! But now, you still wan to come out to blame other people of your fault and put others in trouble because of your fault only... Please, stop carrying this kind of attitude... You yourselves should make some changes in your life... If you continue to carry this kind of bad attitude, you will only put yourselves into trouble... Your friend will also soon leave you and go away from you one by one... At last, you will end up realizing that you live int his world alone with no friends by your side... So, i warn you!!! Stop blaming others!!! Blame yourselves!!! Don't say that i didn't warn you... I've pre-warn you!!!

Thanks for making me like a fool

2009-07-15T15:53:00.002+08:00

Hey,
Just wanna say thank you so much for fooling me... Before this, i really thought that you are my friend whom i can trust but actually you are not... You told me that you have change but now i know that you are not... You are the same like them... There's no different between you and them... You are just using me and taking advantage from me... I'm like a fool just believing in you and trust everything that you said... But now, i know the truth... I've lost my trust and faith in you... You make me lost my trust... I can't trust you anymore... I'm sorry... You've make me believe in the wrong person... You've make me blame other innocent people... Don't make yourselves so innocent... Sorry... I really can't trust you...

Then, five of us straight away go bath then lepak outside until 6 o'clock in the morning... Then went for perhimpunan pagi... The first activity in the morning is tangkap ketam.. Wahaha... After we pasang the perangkap for the ketam, we continue on with the second activity that is bumi hijau... Then, the five of us kena jurulatih az to angkat pasu.. so heavy and so tired... Next activity is stepping stone... This is the first time i got to do simen... Jaclyn, me and Amir(SMK Mutiara) do our steeping stone together... After that, we went to check our perangkap... Oh yeah, my group got 3 ekor ketam... So happy... At least got... Then, me n Amir together gulung balik the perangkap, wash it and keep it...
