Dear P01 students of mine!
Complete the sentence, "I've been reading..." or "I've read...".
Me, I've read this book by Mitch Albom entitled For One More Day. It's about a guy called Chick Benitto who comes from a dysfunctional family, and worships the ground his father walks on and blames mom when his father left. After a series of failures, he basically tried to kill himself - his biggest blow was when his daughter didn't invite him him to her wedding.
So he decides he's going to kill himself back where it all began, his hometown. In his bizarre attempt to end his life, the guy meets, of all people, his mom! His mom, who's been dead for years and he wasn't there for her. It was her birthday and he didn't turn up. Instead he was trying to rekindle his glory days but it didn't work out.
During this time he learns the truth about his parents' separation, and how he had wronged his mom and how much his mom loved him. Really, it was sad reading the parts where he retold all the times he didn't stand up for her, and how she stood up for him. Made me wonder myself what kind of daughter I am and was to my parents and they must have felt at that time. You know, we can't take back what we've done but we can always try to make up for it, and we must always show and tell our parents that we love them. Even as I write this, I am reminiscent of the impact it made on me and I feel unwanted tears welling in my eyes.
But I guess the point is that it goes both ways, imagine how Chick's mom must be feeling, that she'd failed him to a point that he's driven to take his own life...So did he die or not? If he didn't, how could he meet his mom? Or was it all a dream? Go get the book, it's worth your time, believe me.
However, if you hadn't read this book, it's okay. Don't beat yourself too hard. Basically you can write about anything else you've read, preferably in English. It could be a book, a magazine article, a blog, anything! Having read it, just post your comments here about what you've read, and what kind of reading text it was, how it made you feel and why, what it reminded you of and why.

for me this story can make me feel sad, and it touched my heart although i just read it from your synopsis.
this is because,for me chick benitto should not punished her mom without know what actually happen among his father and his mom.its really hurt his mom's heart if she knew that her own son hate herself.
another things that touched my heart is his mom still stand up for chick where ever she was.its showed that his mom so loved him.for me its showed the mom's loved is so valuable and we cannot get mom's loved from other people.if we get.it still not feel the same.
from this story,i also can see the impact from hurting someone who are so loved us heart.so for me,we can't hurt people who loved us.

I have been reading a love novel. My sister's novel not mine. It was about a couple love each other. Named John for the man and Avril for the girl. But in the same time, Avril's sister, Sara love John very much. Sara do not know that John and Avril is a couple that planning to marry soon. Because of Avril love her sister too, she willing to let John marry his sister. Avril was forced to marry the guy who is her father's choice. That's realized me that siblings is more important than others and not everything we want, we will get it.
For me, this novel makes a very good point. No matter how you live your life and what regrets you may get along the journey, you must be able to forgive yourself . I believe this is the greats part of the story. When Charley asks his mother what did his father's wife say and his mother answered she said to forgive. He asked her if that woman wanted him to forgive her and she told him the woman wanted him to forgive himself. How true these words are. We are only human and we will definitely make mistakes BUT we must be able to forgive ourselves."

hye..
first of all, i'm not really into reading such knowledge books, only from certain websites, blogs and magazines. however, when i'm about to borrow some books in UMP library to finish an assignments, i found the section of automotive and aviation which is my favorites. after glancing some books, i've attracted to see the book entitled "365 Cars You Must Drive" and i'm sorry for not remembering the author. i'm still borrowing it as i'm not finished reading it yet. for your information, i've even extended the period of borrowing the book because the 2weeks time given is not enough for me. okay, about the book. as the given title, the book features of 365 of weird, sublimes and outrageous from 120 years. it is also stated there in the preface, "how many have you driven and how many you can" which means that not all featured cars can we drive as some of them are very rare and not in production anymore. the book is very interesting from the way of its page display. in each page, there will be 1 featured car, with a brief description about it plus 6'things' in minor part of the page. what are the 6'things' actually. it is attached there 1.the greatness of the car; 2.do you know?; 3.perfect passenger; 4.getting behind the wheel; 5.best route to be taken; and 6.music to listen while driving it. for example the Batmobile, it was stated that the perfect passenger is Robin. i laughed on it. ;) Then for Porsche 959 Carrera and Pagani Zonda S, they don't suggest the music to listen to because they said that "who needs a soundtrack when we have four outrageous exhaust pipes behind to listen to?" There are also interesting part about perfect passenger where they said that we should take Marilyn Monroe in 1951 Ford Convertible because she used that car in one of her commercial. for Enzo Ferrari and Chevrolet Corvette ZO6, the perfect passenger is "those who doesn't get carsick" because those two cars are extremely fast; 0-100 km/h in less than 4seconds and 330+ km/h of topspeed. Overall, it was a very interesting book for me and i'm continuing reading it and will certainly extend the time again if i'm not finish reading it. ;)
Thank you.

for me this book give us a lot of moral value.such as we ought to love,respect and appreciate her when she still alive.
we always forget a person who brought us to this grateful world.so,this story teach us,don't ever blame our mother if we don't know,what kind of real thing happen.
we still young and need more experience to understand about life.we also not to take easy about life.for example,the guy on the story(chick Benitto).he tried to kill him self because a small matter problem.he need to think twice,life is worth more than gold.
and i think he would not kill him self because he realize that he need to change and start a new life.he also try to turn back his guilty to his mother with always remember her in a rest of his life....

After reading the Malaysian Studies book for the previous days, i found that it is interesting in knowing how the Malays, Chinese and Indians came from...
I start reading this because of the Test2 that will be in the week before the Raya holidays. Initially, i have a feeling that this must be bored to read. There may be a lots of places and times have to memorize.
However, after reading that i just know where actually they came from and why they came to. I have made some notes of it in case when test2 is coming nearer i can make use of it.
So ashame to say that during my secondary school, i didn't focus on my History subject. So, i am not good in it and not really know about it.
I found it is quite interesting when i read it, may be cause by the new environment i have to adapt. My friends are mostly Malays. So, i really want to know more about them and my country.
So, after this I'll continue to read it in my room!^~^
Finished time:2:47p.m.
I write this and plan it at the same time.

ok,i've been reading the 4th and last sequence of twilight novel which is breaking dawn.for me,this is the most interesting novel among the 4 because here is where bella cullens at last turned to a vampire.
this book basically about vampires, human and also warewolves.i think when i started read the twilight nvl,i became addicted to continue reading the other 3.
in the breaking dawn,bella is married to edward which is a vampire.they did not expect to get a baby but miracle was going to happen.bella was pregnant but the fetus inside her was just not an ordinary human.
the fetus's diet was blood and it grew up very faster and within few months the baby wanted to see the world.
when bella gave birth to her child,her condition was bad and almost died thus edward injected his venom inside bella to save her.
so! bella finally a vampire.she learned how to hunt and control her craving thirst when being among human.
also,her bestfriend,jacob at last made a good friend with the cullens family eventhough he was a warewolf.
i dont know what lesson should i get from this novel.hehe. but this novel is very awesome and i know everyone will love it when they started reading it.

Assalamualaikum, madam...
Hi, madam.
I've been reading novel by Stephenie Meyer entitled TWILIGHT. No...no...no...actually I'm not ready yet to read this book at 1st because I don't like reading novel. Hehehee...actually, I prefer watching this movie because Edward so handsome person... buuut...after that I really want to read this novel, because I can imagine about this story.
Ok, about this story...
Twilight Saga have 4 series. I'm just been reading in series 1. this story about love between vampire(Edward) and normal human(Bella). Although Edward is a from vampire family, but his family can accept Bella in their life. One day, have one liar vampire which like at human blood want to attack Bella to get Bella's blood. Edward family's so kind and sacrifice their life to help Bella. So, at the end Bella was escape from that attack. Although Edward is a vampire, his family is not eat human blood, but just eat animal blood. So, the morale value at this story is loving and sacrifice in love. So, I'm so excited to continue for the next series.
