My Idol

           Some people when it comes to their idol they look at big names like Nelson Mandela, Obama, Mahatma Ghandi or even celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Drewbarry Moore or Kim Kardashian. I wont go so far as to saying that any of these big name people are my idols or any other big names because if there is one person i adore and idolize is my mother. Yes my mother. My mother has shown me over the years that she is the best role model for me. People may say other wise but i say they have no clue who my mother is for me. My mother has showed me all the good things i need to know to live my life and what do i have to do to survive in this world. For me that's what a role model should do.
            My mother was born in a small middle class family. She was brought u in a very strict home environment. Both her parents were strict in certain things. I guess that's how she grew up to be such a well mannered and centered person. She did not study much just until her O'levels. She had no interest in studying at the time and was more interested in learning classical music. I admire her for going for what she was passionate about. She got married at the age of 29 to my father which was in the year 1985. She dove into marriage life with no fear of not being able to live it but instead she did what she could do to make it work. My mother cooked good food for my father and all three of us as her children. She never once complained about how hard marriage life is. She had to put up with her mother-in-law and four sister-in-laws. She did it all by herself without even once having to talk about divorce with my father. Nowadays it is very hard to find couples who are married who have not at least once talked about divorce or have gotten a divorce. After years of putting up with all this my mother is still happily married to my father for 27 years now this 2012. She will always tell me that when i get married i must be able to cook good food for my husband because she says the way to a man's heart is through the stomach. So she started teaching me how to cook since i started secondary school. Now i have learnt to cook a few Indian dishes, Malaysian fried dishes and also western food. Not only that i can also bake cakes, cookies, muffins and cupcakes. My friends say my husband is lucky because he will always get good food from me. I will say this, my mother is my best teacher ever. If he never thought me any of this i would not know how to in the 1st place. I can cook, bake, clean, wash clothes, dishes and many more. All thanks to my dear mother. She will always tell me that in a relationship to give and take is the best way to stay strong in a relationship. She gave me advises like "keep quiet if your husband shouts at you", "don't fight back with your husband", and "take care and love him always no matter what". 
                     This is why i think my mother is my idol. I will not ever idolize any one else till the day i die. I love my mother and she will always be number one in my heart. She has done nothing but give me good food, love, care, clothes that i want and even money when i have none. She has stayed up late nights taking care of me when i was sick. You can say this is all a mother's job that is why she is doing all this but i will say it is not a compulsory thing for her to do. She wants to do it that is why she is doing it. That is what a idol should be and for me its my mother. i love you my dear beautiful wonderful mother.

My Mid Semester Break

 My mid semester break started of with a trip to Pulau Langkawi. I went with my brother's and their three friends on what was the most amazing journey and stay in a beautiful place such as Pulau Langkawi. We took a very slow drive down to Kuala Kedah from my home which is in Petaling Jaya. We left around 1a.m in the morning and reached Kuala Kedah Jetty at 7.45a.m. We parked our car and took the 9.30 ferry to Pulau Langkawi. All the way there i just could not keep my eyes open but i still tried very hard to look out the window because the scenery was beautiful..we passed many islands just floating there in the middle of the sea. At around 11a.m we reach Pulau Langkawi. Oh wow was i excited because it was my first time in Langkawi. I have heard so much about the beaches, the sunset, the scenery and just all the amazing activities you can do there. We rented a car and off we were headed to our apartment which was The Green Village apartments. It was a small cozy place which felt more like home and we all really loved the environment.

During our stay at Langkawi we decided to go island hopping. We were taken to the pregnant lady mountain, eagle feeding, and a private island to swim. That was a very good activity because we got to see a lot of things on the way to each destinations. The boat was a bit rocky at times because of the waves made by other boats which at times was really scary because i felt like i was going to go over board. Thank God that never happened and we all reached back safely. The day we were leaving Langkawi i was really sad because i really loved it there but i was also happy that i made some new memories that i know i will cherish for the rest of my life. Again we took the ferry and got back to Kuala Kedah. We got in to our car and just drove all the way back trying to reach back before 5p.m that day and we did it. Then i had to take my car and straight drive down to Seremban to my grandparents house. My mother's cousin had come down from U.K and my mother wanted me to meet them. So i went there and stayed the night an d came back the next day. When i finally came home i was just really tired from all the traveling i was doing. I had no mood to go out or enjoy my holiday, I felt like just lazing around the house. I did go out for short periods of time and meet my friends but that was it. I started missing my classmates and i wanted to just get back to classes. That was my mid semester break.

The Music Loving Dentist


                 





               I am a dentist working in a private dental clinic. Day in, day out i see the insides of a persons mouth. I have seen many different types of teeth, like teeth with cavities, rotten teeth, half chipped teeth, and even teeth that looked like beavers teeth. I fill up cavities, fix beaver teeth with braces, extract rotten teeth and replace half chipped teeth with what ever type of teeth they like, even with gold. I never complained because i love my job. I have always been fascinated by teeth and people always admire my pearly white teeth. I am also the biggest music lover. When i get to work everyday the first thing i do is turn on my computer and select my favourite songs that i love to listen to. I add them to my playlist and click play. For the whole day there will be songs being played, even if i have to repeat the same songs i don't really mind it. I playing soothing melodious songs to calm the environment. Some of my patients come in feeling nervous because they are scared of visiting the dental clinic. I always listen to music to calm down my nerves, so i thought implying it on my patients would be a good way of helping them to calm down. Guess what? It works for many of them. When people share their passion with music like me i feel good and they are able to maintain calm even if i point a big injection into their mouth. Soulful music can make a person to get a peace of mind. It also has a way of making some one who is mood out to become happy or relaxed. That is music. Music is my soul and i love being a dentist. I am a Music Loving Dentist.





               

My Favourite Singer, Alicia Keys


                My favourite singer if Alicia J. Augello-Cook also known as Lellow. She was born on 25th January 1980, in Manhattan, New York City. She is a R&B, soul and neo soul singer. Alicia Keys is my favourite singer because her songs have beautiful meaning to it and i can most of the time relate to her songs. I also love her voice because she has a very husky voice which makes me feel good about my voice. I have always been insecure about my voice because there are times my voice sounds rough and manly. Everyone says i have a husky voice and when i sing it sounds nice. I rather my voice be called husky than being called manly. When ever i listen to Alicia Keys singing i feel at peace. My all time favourite songs of Alicia Keys are "No One", If I Ain't Got You", and "Karma". "No One" and "If I Ain't Got You" is two of the love songs of Alicia's that i love to listen and have learnt to sing. The words are so beautiful and has so much meaning that some times i cry to the song. I will always be a fan of Alicia Keys no matter what. I love you Alicia Keys.

I listened to the song and i found it a very nice beautiful melody with beautiful lyrics. The video clip is very simple and nice. The song reminded me of another song that i have heard. There were three other chart toppers from their tracks which was "Linger", "Dreams", and "Ode to My family". They had artist like Alanis Morissette, Garbage, Sinead O'Connor, Dido and many more.

My Favorite Fictional Character

            My favorite fictional character has always been Nancy Drew. I have always loved Nancy Drew, since my school days. I have a fascination for murder and mystery novels. You would think a girl would be only more interested in Romance novels and Chick flicks but not me. Even if i want to watch a movie i normally go for Horror or Mystery movies. I love the thrill and suspense while reading or watching a horror mystery story. I will admit that i am not a big reader but when it comes to reading Nancy Drew novels i cant put down the book. The suspense and thrill keeps it interesting that all i want to do is read the next page to know what is going to happen next. Not only that but i love that the character of the novel is strong, brilliant, intelligent and just really awesome. Nancy Drew is an intelligent women detective that solves mysterious cases for people. To have a women play such a big role and strong character it makes me feel like i am strong enough to handle obstacles that come in my way. It is rare that you find strong women fictional characters because it is a fact that men have always been the stronger gender. If i could solve mystery cases i would love to be just like Nancy Drew.

Glee

                Glee brings the meaning of joy, merriment, excitement, jubilant and delight. It is a feeling we feel when something good or happy happens in our daily life. It could come from the smallest kinda surprise or thing done but the feeling that is felt can be greater than the sea.
                 There are many things that has happen in my life that has brought glee to my heart. The first time i ever felt glee in my heart was the time me, my family, uncles and aunties and their family all took a drive down to Port Dickson to have a family vacation. Even though it was just Port Dickson, still it was the best vacation i have had with my family. They say when you send time with your family it does not matter where it is because family is where the heart is. The joy we had talking, making jokes, singing n dancing was just great that i never wanted it to end.
                  The second glee feeling i felt was when i made such beautiful and wonderful true friends. Everyday i spent with them just studying, having lunch, watching movies and going shopping it just brought glee to my heart. I have made many friends that have come and gone in my life but never have i ever met a diverse group of people that have so much in common with me. I could not have asked for a much better group of friends that i have currently. 
                 The last glee feeling that i felt was when i got into the Deans List in my degree course. After working so hard and studying really hard i made it into the Deans List in my first semester of my Bachelor of English. Until this date i cannot express in words the feeling i felt when i viewed my results and saw i was in Deans List. When you work hard for something and in the end of the process you succeed or achieve your goal   it brings the most glee feeling to your heart. That is how i felt when i achieved it.
                  In conclusion, we only feel glee when you are happy, excited and are having joy in your life. So smile more and be happy. Live to smile and live to be happy. For laughter and happiness can be the best medicine to cure any hurt or sad feeling that you are feeling. Be a glee and gleeful person and all you will feel is gleefulness.
