Journal :: Week 10 :: 6th October 2010

Miss Anna came back already and we have class as usual. The class begins with individual presentation about zodiac. This part I like. Everyone revealed our bad and good traits based on our horoscope. Sincerely, I quite didn’t believe about horoscope. Not all traits are very compatible to us certainly it just an estimation by scientists. Sometimes we didn’t believe about others traits according to the horoscope. We are just laughing to each other. Then, we will have a debate competition next week. I will become the second speaker for preposition.

Still in Holiday Mood!!!

It is so difficult to get back the study mood since I’m coming back from home after two weeks holiday. But, last Monday I pushed myself to go to lecture. I try to forget everything about home, of course except my family. It is quick shocked when Syamida announced that we will have a midterm test on Monday. But, Alhamdulillah, everything is okay. I can answer all the questions. Hope I will get a good mark. Not only me, the others also finished answering the questions early because we have 30 minutes to answer. Everyone looks very happy after the midterm came to the end. Then, before we dismissed, we discuss about our ‘Jamuan Hari Raya’. Finally, we decided to go to Tanjung Lipat and have a dinner there. I like!!!

AidilFitri 1431H

Syukur Alhamdulillah. This year, my hari raya celebration I can say it is the happiest that I experienced. In the morning 1st Syawal after pray, we were gather together. I realized, how big my family. This year, we celebrated it with 2 new persons in my family, my new sister in law and also my third nephew, nine months. This time also, my sister that studied in Jordan came back to celebrate Hari Raya together. For me, this is actually the barakah of Syawal. It allows us to have a good time with our family members and most important we are apologized each other. Sincerely, I’m very afraid to loss all of them. I cannot imagine can I will be if they are not around…

Journal :: Week 7 :: 25th August 2010

Yes! Again! We were laughing non-stop! Huhu….. During presentation, some of us must create some jokes. A lot of ideas were come out from each group during presentation. But, what I want to highlight here is what have been said by Miss Anna. She said, she was expected with us to have a matured thinking. That’s what we are supposed to have because we already 20s. We must have a better thinking.

After that, we got back our compare and contrast essay. Miss Anna gave comments one by one. For me, as expected I need to improve in grammar part. This week we learnt about cause and effect essay. The format is likely same with compare and contrast essay and can be done by block or point-by-point. .. Next week we will have a test on this type of essay. All the best Zaki!!!

Journal :: Week 6 :: 18th August 2010

Ermmm.... class as usual.
Today we have test, writing compare and contrast essay.
What i like for this test, we have been given one week to prepare the drafts about our essay. I chose topic on 'Government Vs Private Doctors'.
Ermmm...sincerely I prefer to become government doctor. How to say? For me, private hospital always put a high expectation from doctors. huhu... not easy to fullfill their needs.

Miss Anna want each of us to give asuggestions about the way journal had been written. For me, there is not gap between Miss Anna and us when we wrote the journal. Since, we already know each other a long time, I don't think Miss Anna can't feel our emotion and senses during she read our journal. So, it still okay if we continue writing journal by publishing through blog.

Past vs Present Secret Code

Language is one of the communication medium used by people to communicate with each others. Without language being used, it is very impossible for us to understand others. Even, deaf and dumb people have their own language to communicate among themselves as well as with normal people. Interestingly, people in the past have been started to use secret code in their life. They have been created the new techniques in the communication, as a result today’s people still used it and some they modified it as to make it compatible with the current situation. But, past and present secret codes are not totally same. Therefore, there are three similarities and differences between past and present secret code, in term of techniques to delivery, medium used and purposes.

Firstly, there are similarities between past and present secret codes. Both in the past especially during 1700s and 1900s and present used their creative intervention to deliver their messages to other. For example, both people in the past and present used what they have in their surrounding so that messages can be transmits to others. Other than that, both of them used certain medium to deliver their messages. The medium used can be from naturally or used current devices. Besides, both of people in the past and present have the same purposes by using secret code. They want to keep secret among themselves, protects their ideas and also for safety. Thus, it is clear that both past and present secret code have similarities.

Secondly, there are differences between past and present secret code. In past, the secret code used in some techniques such as used in the form of symbols, secret writing and native words. An example regarding this is secret writing by using invisible ink by both British and American armies during Revolutionary War around 1780s. Compare to present secret code, it used in the short form, modified the words and numbers. For example, the teenagers today used short form when messaging to each other. They used short form of ‘Code 9’ means parents are nearby, ‘143’ means I love you, and ‘182’ means I hate you. Other than that, the medium used by both past and present are different. In the past, secret code was delivered by smokes, letter, stone, and birds. Compare to present secret code, it is more to modern and used technology devices such as hand phone and internet. For example, people today able to sent secret code to their friends very fast just by using text messages via hand phone and also e-mail. Furthermore, past and present secret code can be different in term or purposes. Recently, in the past the secret code was used mainly during war and protection. For example, British and German military used secret code during World War II. Compare to present secret code, it used many in the business which need codes to protect their ideas or processes. Today’s technologies have driven new code of language for sending messages very fast and allow quick communication. It also used as a way of hiding information from others, especially teenagers want to keep secret from their parents. Thus, it is very clearly that there are differences between past and present secret code.

As a conclusion, the differences and similarities between past and present secret code made people realize that the secret code have certain techniques, medium and purposes since it existed. We must keep in our mind that the existence of the secret code is mainly because of the creativity and ideas of innovation come from people itself. So, we must appreciate our valuable mind given from God. Thus, we should use this kind of language in proper way for our benefits.

There are still a lot of things I need to learn from her. I always respect her as a lecturer because she has more knowledge compare to me. Thus, it shouldn't be any problem when attend her lecture... Hopefully, everyone will have a happy and a joyful class for the next class....

Before we start the class, Miss Anna gave the comments about our blogs. She gave some suggestions and advices so that our blogs better. Next, we continue the lesson by marked the task Miss Anna asked us to do last week. Then, we were asking to do some exercises by group. My group's members are Diyana, Firah and Ammadah. We were assigned to do exercise based on text entitle 'Secret Code and Language'. Quite interesting text. We were also asked to find another secret code or language and we need to present it next week. This time we had fun again. Before the class end, Miss Anna made a game, known as 'Kelopak jantung'. We were separated into two groups and facing each other. One group as 'kelopak' and another group as 'jantung'. My group was 'jantung'. We need to alert with Miss Anna hand. When she pointed to our group we need say loudly word 'jantung; and it reverse to another group, they need to say 'kelopak'. For the first round, my group won the game. Then, Miss Anna changed the word to Chinese word, 'Sin Zhang' means 'kelopak' and 'Pua San' means 'jantung'. Again, our group won the game. Hahaha.. Congratulation!
