English class

Assalamualaikum and hi especially to my blog and other blogers..i would love to share about this article that i've taken from http://www.teslmalaysia.com/common-errors-in-english-usage-part-1..perhaps this will help you to improve your knowledge in English..

ADVANCE vs. ADVANCED
When you hear about something in advance, you get notice or information ahead of time. Advance also means to move forward or to make progress. Advance can also function as adjective, as in the case of “an advance payment”, which means payment made ahead of time/before hand.
When you say something is advanced, it means “complex or sophisticated” and should not be confused with the past tense form of “advance”.
Note: We often see advertisements use “Advance Level”, which should be “Advanced Level”.

ALPHABET
A, B and C are called letters of the alphabet, NOT alphabets. Alphabet is a character set that includes letters and is used to write a language.

AWHILE vs. A WHILE
When “awhile” is spelled as a single word, it is an adverb meaning “for a time” (“stay awhile”); but when “while” is the object of a prepositional phrase, like “Lend me your monkey wrench for a while” the “while” must be separated from the “a.” (But if the preposition “for” were lacking in this sentence, “awhile” could be used in this way: “Lend me your monkey wrench awhile.”)

BACKUP vs. BACK UP
To “back up” is an activity; “back up your computer regularly”; “back up the truck to the garden plot and unload the compost.”
A “backup” is a thing: “keep your backup copies in a safe place.” Other examples: a traffic backup, sewage backup, backup plan, backup forces.

COMPLEMENT vs. COMPLIMENT
Most of the time the word people intend is “compliment”: nice things said about someone or praise.
Complement, on the other hands, means supplement each other or making something complete.
e.g. vs. i.e.
“e.g.” is the short form for exempli gratia, and means “for example”. “i.e.” is the short form for id est, and means “that is”. Use “e.g.” when you want to give an example (or several examples) of something just mentioned. Use “i.e.” when you wish to explain briefly or to clarify what you just said, or say the same thing in other words.

PRINCIPLE Vs. PRINCIPAL
A principle is a formulation regarded as a basis for thought or action. For example, the principles of liberty.
A principal is the person you see in schools, who leads the school administration. As an adjective, “principal” means “foremost, first, primary, main”, as in “the principal reason I am here is …” or “the principal cause of this phenomenon is …”

LOSE Vs. LOOSE
Contrary to normal rules of English, the single ’s’ in loose is pronounced like an ’s’ – as in wearing trousers that are too loose. Lose on the other hand, relates to loss – for example: “I hope we don’t lose this game”. A good way to remember this is that in the word “lose” you have lost the second ‘o’ from loose.

BORED Vs. BORING
Students often use “I was very boring at the party”. It should be “I was very bored at the party”. Adjectives that end with -ed talk about one’s own feelings, whereas adjectives that end with -ing talk about a person, a thing or a situation that causes one’s feelings. Examples: The movie was boring (so I felt bored). My boyfriend has a very annoying habit (so I am annoyed).

IRREGARDLESS Vs. REGARDLESS
Irregardless is an informal term, which is technically incorrect. The suffix “-less” in regardless has already indicated the meaning of “without”. By adding “ir-” as prefix (means “not”), it creates a “double negative”, which shows the opposite meaning instead.

Life is about to give

Help...

Either you offer help or you need help..

life relate to both...

To people you concern or someone you can count on...

I've no idea coz i need those...

Do not wait for a help IF,

you can solve the matter by your own BECAUSE..

you will look so pathetic...

                                                                -Haneem-

******************************************************************

Help..

Who???? 

Anyone who needs it..

With what???

Anything that you have..

Money???

Not necessarily...You have 

  ARMS to protect

  LOVE to care

  WORDS to sooth

  BLOOD to save a life

  Those will do....even a SMILE could help to..

                                                                                                                                 -Haneem-

*************************************************************

Allah loves you when...

   - you give more without asking for benefit in return...

   - you help with sincere and full-hearted..

   - you pray for other's good..

Believe me..

HE will give you ten times benefit when you give only once...

A help that you can't anticipate...

From any angles of the world...

-Haneem-   

####################################################################

My heart tells me something...

  " As a girl you're fragile and delicate "

    you're so soft easily wounded...

    However, you're not merely a girl as it is

    You are and individual that Allah has created to perform His mission...

    Therefore, you need to stand up to be strong...

    As to compare with a man, physically, both are slightly different.

But what does differences make

It wont stop you to contribute something to your religion...

                                                   -Haneem-

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ

"Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jika kamu menolong (agama) Allah, niscaya Dia akan menolongmu dan meneguhkan kedudukanmu. " (47:7)

Change your thought instead of 'what will i get' to 'what should i give'

Do not hesitate to give..

To be continued...

Detainees' food was poisoned with arsenic.

I was really surprised to read the headline of metro newspaper entitle "Rendam Arsenik". When I first got the paper in hand, my eyes was pulling to a picture of Mavi Marmara voluntaries with the headline that i've mentioned earlier. As I was concerned arsenic is known as a chemical which can cause someone to death.. I was so curious and open to page 10 for further reading. It says that the food which was given to the detainees was suspected to be soaked in arsenic before being served to the hand- deck of Marvi Marmara.

 the last 31st Mei we were alarmed by a shocking news of  the apprehension of Mavi Marmara crews. Their ship was hijacked by the bloody Zionist and attacked cruelly. For God sake..their purpose was just to send the humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip.. so what's the matter?? Yes it's really matter to them coz I personally think that they don't want any sources that could save and support the Palestinian to be able to stand up again. As simple as that..They have been working really hard to vanish Gaza and why should they give chance to allow them wake up???..But again nobody is a good liar than zionist..they cover up themselves by telling the world that they were reacted from the crew's attack..Twisting, editing and making up story so that they won't look evil in the world's eye..ok just forget about that...Let's get back to the story...                                                                                   

Arsenic...This what i've found about its definition..Taken from http://www.greenfacts.org/en/arsenic/index.htm 

Arsenic is a poisonous substance, which is released both from certain human activities and naturally from the Earth's crust. Humans may be exposed to arsenic mainly through food and water, particularly in certain areas where the groundwater is in contact with arsenic-containing minerals. From another trusted sources arsenic can also be a dangerous chemical that can slowly kill when it is taken in overly dosage. 

 

It was reported by the three voluntaries from Indonesia and Turkey claimed that their blood contains high measured portion of arsenic..They suspected that it caused by the food given when they were in detention..

“Kami hanya diberi makan timun dan lobak merah segar selepas dibiar berlapar selama 20 jam dan ketika makanan itu diberikan, ia masih berair seperti baru dibasuh.


“Namun, disebabkan terlalu lapar semua aktivis     memakan timun dan lobak yang disediakan tanpa berfikir panjang kerana hanya itu saja sumber makanan yang ada pada ketika itu. 

Taken from http://www.hmetro.com.my/myMetro/articles/Rendamarsenik/Article

What choice do you have if you were the detainees....

Alhamdulillah..the good news is all the six voluntaries from Malaysia were told to be free from the arsenic chemical in their blood after the clinical test. However, further check up is still going to be made as a precaution.

"Ya Allah please save Gaza"

What mood is BLUE???

Colors and mood...

Someone had told me that both of these terms are related and give profound effect to our mood and feeling..whether it's a  fact or not..I can't give you the answer..but the fact is now i'm feeling totally sad and blue represents my tone at the moment..knowing the truth that I've lost a friend..(u can read my previous post).

I'd checked my Fb and farewell wishes were flooding my site..i read them all and felt really touch..A man who was just the same age as me has already gone. Buried along with him an ambitions, dream and aspiration that will not be a reality...Allah has planned everything perfectly and He knows what's best for him...

I couldn't resist that every single event that occurs in this world is attached with Hikmah (wisdom)...a lesson that we have to learn from it and rectify ourselves from dragging away...There are three things which is beyond the control of human 1. Death and life span 2. Fate 3. Substances (correct me if i'm wrong)..Those had already been stated in Luh Mahfuz and we as a human can only change those by dua (hard pray) and tireless effort...

It's not a false to plan your life n future as if you'l be living in this world for 100 years but all the way we have to remember that life is short and it's unpredictable..God can take whoever he wants just like that...I've facing the lost before and it was so hard for me..two very important people in my life had left me..i cannot explain how bitter my life is..For me it's a test that all of us will and have to face...I know that they are all good people and God took them away coz He loves them..

Ya Allah please accept their worship...

Ya Allah please accept their good deeds..

Ya Allah protect them from punishment..

Ya Allah bless them and grant them with Jannah..

Ya Allah put them together with para Solihin..

Ya Allah don't let us who are still living on your world astray..

Guide us to the right way..

Dont neglect us..

Ya Allah please direct us to the right path and away from Your wrath..

Ya Allah please accept my dua

Ya Allah Please take my BLUE away ..ameen...

Till death do us apart..

27th June 2010 at 9.45..a friend of mine has been taken away..

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون

To Allah we Belong and to Him we Return

Al-Fatihah

to Shirazi Bin Ibrahim

3 years being his classmate was such a memorable thing that I couldn't forget. As I still remember he is one of the earliest TESLian that i ever known and he is the first person of telling me Terengganu words that couldn't understand at that very moment.. "Mulla-Mulla", wearing Rabbit suite during the English camp performance, driving white proton saga with the plat number TK XXX and listless memories that i couldn't state here.Every time i'm flashing back that moment it'll surely curve a smile on my face. Even though i rarely talk to him we still make good friend, he seldom talk but once he did he'll make people around laugh..that's him

I was learned that he died of motorbike accident, due to critical bleeding in the brain..On 26th June 2010 I received a message from a friend telling me that he'd involved in an accident..It doesn't sound serious to me -at-the-first place coz I was informed that he just lost control of the motorbike and fell down..Sadly his head hit the road hard that caused him to serious bleeding. 

At 3.00pm i tried to call Hanif Sidek to get latest update bout Syirazi's condition. An unknown girl picked up the phone and told me that he was in coma..She said that everyone were waiting for him to get back in conscious..i felt a bit relief coz i got a strong feeling that he will make it..But Allah knows better..He failed and still in unconscious till 7.00 pm..Around 10.00 pm i received a shocking massage telling that he was not in this world anymore..he had blissfully left all of us..

I could't bear my sadness coz i was not there and maybe can't be able to be there to pay my last respect towards him..All i can do is hard pray that Allah would accept his worship and all his good deeds, rewards him by infinite folds and easy accounts..and most importantly grant him jannatul Firdaus with good people..ameen.

Missssss my blog so much

Assalamualaikum

 

It's been a while i've not met my blog...almost 2 month i guess..it is not that i'm short of ideas of what to write..i think my fingers are just too heavy to 'dance on the keyboard' and there's no force for me to put myself in front of the laptop and vomiting ideas..well i know of some bloggers who were dropping encouraging words to me to continue writing..I really appreciate your support dear friends and InsyaAllah i'll dig out ideas and topics to make sure my blog will be alive again..

Actually I've drafted few articles to be posted..It's merely a simple writing but taking me years to finish it..haha..the articles are actually based on what I've read on few books lately..I really wish it could benefit the readers and newcomers..Ok till then..I need to stop now coz..my sisters are lining up to use the internet since we're not using wireless at home...till we meet again with some fresh ideas and input...

Looking for ciimon...

haven't really been checking my blog lately coz i'm filling my 3 days time with sleep, watching movies and futsal tournament instead of reading book for my last paper which is today..LOL!!!

What did i do for the last 3 days?..ok reported from Tanjong Malim...ekeke

Kayaked down the lake...

GREAT!!! a word to express my day...this is my second time kayaking and really enjoy it. It's not something easy as uol see with ur bare eyes..need abundant supply of energy to move the boat which is 100% relying on your both arms..I push myself really hard to move the boat around the lake and reach the ending point where i've started (I must + have to..rather than stuck alone in the middle of the lake)..But as i keep oaring i found that it's just a kid stuff..~turning to be a pro ecehh~.All u need to do is to balance urself and know how to control the paddle..opps plus keep track and don't be panic or else the boat will roll back..Thanks to the green and beautiful scenery that keep me away of the tiredness + Thanks to all for making my day in TM live-able..

Better to sit and watch over the expert 

to do the kayak..flat enough..phewww

 

Style of a pro..looking ahead where will 

his future be..

Futsal...

One thing I hated most ...B4...is playing outdoor game and I don't know what the he** am I doing at the court last night..LoL...I'm no good in any sports and never think of playing any of which till there's  one day when Syirah organized a tournament and unexpectedly our girl's team was lack of player, I put aside all my senses that sport is dreadful so I offered myself to join the team...Wooooww..all i can just say is "Futsal is awesome man.."  Thanks to Daha n Syirah for working so hard to make all the tournaments in this semester happened..Since we're living in such a poor uni. with poor facilities so the best way to have fun is to fork out money from our own pocket (that is how i value it).LOL..We need to find available futsal court ourselves. At the end of the game still there's no winner or looser since the winner will not get any prizes else we need to pay for the court..pokai..pokaiiiii...

To be honest we (girls' team) are not as good as the boy's team.. we just play about half an hour and go flat..unrest grasping for air..hahaha..yet we are good at cheer leading a.k.a giving support + criticize while the boy' team is playing...wink2...
