CL in My LIfe

Pausing for almost 5minutes and let the lecturers and other classmates waiting for my answer.

 I can’t answer spontaneously if I were given a random question from my lecturer who wants my opinions about something.

 I’m clueless, my mind was blank and I feel like wanna stuck my face in a paper bag whenever I’ve been asked a question.  

When it comes to CL (critical literacy) class, I keep pray to God  that the time will running fast and keep hoping that I will not been asked from my lecturer. 

So, that was me 4 months ago.  

Excited, fun and interesting. 

That is how I described CL now. 

No more shame, stammer, blank and nervous come from me when answering a question instead, I’m confident in answering a question due to the push and encouragement from my lecturer that keep aiming me with spontaneous question.

 Oh now I know why he doing that!  ;)

CL taught me many things that I can practiced in my life. 

I’ve learned to think critically and out of the box. 

In this subject, it is essential to think critically and creatively since we are free to give our own opinion without judgments from other people as in CL, there is no right and wrong. From this, I’ve learned to release my own views and opinions about something and it helps me to gain knowledge as well.

CL now has really help me to enhance my skills of thinking and now I can speaks my views out loud without hesitation 

and Rules of 10 is just a piece of meat now! (blow nails)

Hehehe    :)

till meet ya again! bubye!!

Synopsis

The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum,  follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth called Esa-ala. 

When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea.

At the heart of the exploration team is master diver Frank McGuire  (Richard Roxburgh), one of the world’s best cave divers. He and his crew continue to push into the cave system even as their American financier, Carl Huxley (Ioan Gruffudd), a part-time adventurer in his own right, warns that funding is nearing an end, so if they are going to find the way through to the ocean, they must do so soon. 

Just as Carl, his girlfriend, and Frank’s 17-year old estranged son arrive, a storm hits the island and a flash flood cuts the group off from the surface.

All of them were trapped in the cave and, they try to find their way out. Unfortunately, a bunch of them died and the rest have to continue the journey by depending on their fate. 

The story move to the shocking moment where Carl tries to killed this father and son in order to survive. The father was seriously injured after the battle and has to be killed. 

At the end of the story, the boy manages to find the way out of the cave and being saved by the villagers due to his father’s spirit that he brings together.

  

Unseen love

Frank McGuire and his 17 years old son can’t be put under one roof due to the ego that exist within each of them. But everything was change after all of them were trapped in the caves and they only got each other. 

Through the discovery of their way out from the cave, this father and son facing a lot of obstacle that slowly digging out the love between them that have faded.  

The scenes where Josh was forced by his own father to kill him due to his bad condition as he can’t proceed the journey, was the climax of the story as it displays the biggest dilemma that was faced by Josh. 

Being selfish is necessary

When it comes to the desperate moment or difficulty, the selfishness in ourselves will exist and appear as all we think is only to survive and protect ourselves from danger. In this movie, they must forced themselves to be selfish and must put aside all the sympathy in order to staying alive. We can see that all the group members that was dying have to be killed and left, so that, they will not be a burden for the rest to continue the journey.

My Dirty Little Secrets!

A guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. Everyone has their guilty things that pleasure them aka their ‘dirty little secrets’. Some are just better at hiding them than others. Some secrets are harmless, while others can be hurtful and destructive...it depends on what the situation is.

Let's talk about my GUILTY PLEASURES, shall we?

Miss grudge holder

I got a really nice feeling when I think about killing some people I dislike. Someone that hurt me when I was a kid or someone that randomly pisses me off. Either strangle them or just beat the living shit out of him/her until she/he begs for mercy. 

Hahaha!! this is why I play violent videogames. J

BOO!! I’m annoyed you! J

Ouhhh.. I looooooveeee to irritate people. I love to wind somebody up. 

But, it’s just for fun and I know that I don’t cross the limit. The more they say NO, the more I tend to do it J 

For instance, I love to imitate my friends’ voice or making stupid actions and expressions just to get on their nerves. It’s my job to be annoying.

 But I know, you guys love me right? Hehehe J

As a Muslim

“Wear your tudung Nabieha!”

“You think you look nice in your shorts huh?”

See, I listen mom J

 Yeah..I admit it. I didn't really perform my responsibility as a Muslim when it comes to the ‘’dress up’’ thing.

 It can be say as a guilty thingy that pleasure me because I’ve already know that, as a Muslim, showing my ‘aurat’ to the non-muhrim is a sin but that’s just the way I like it. 

For me, it is convenient to go out with free hair and simply wear a shorts. But the thing is, I’m just not ready.

 Someday maybe?? 

  I’m not against my beloved religion or what but this is truly me. 

May God give His bless to me one day J

So pretty babes,

What are your guilty pleasures and do they really make you feel guilty for enjoying them?

Synopsis

The Blind Side portray the incredible true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a wealthy white family after a late night Thansgiving school play. Leigh Ann notices Michael walking on the road , shivering in the cold then offers him a place to stay. Slowly, Michael becomes the part of the family even though Leigh Ann faces disgust from her rich friends who wonder what she is doing. Later on, Leigh Ann discovers that this silent teenager is initially a passive athlete, notices his protective instincts and encourages him to improve his grades to join the school football team. With hard work and courage ,later Leigh Ann and her family send off Michael to the Ole Miss campus to begin his study and ends with a sad farewell between the mother and son.

"you threaten my son, you threaten me" 

Leigh Anne confidently driving her fancy car to the ghetto and threatens a gang to leave Michael alone. from this, we can see how she care about Michael as he has being a part of her. She didn't care about any risk that she might face for him.

"you changing that boy's life,no,he changed mine"

since Michael being a part of the family, indirectly, he changed the family custom. There is one scene , on Thanksgiving, when the Touhys family having dinner in their living room, by their own while watching tv, but everything was change when suddenly, Leigh Ann saw Michael take his meal to the dining table and eat it by himself. After that, she ask her husband and children to eat together and celebrate the Thanksgiving in actual way as a family. From Leigh Ann's eyes, she believes that, Michael has open her eyes to the real meaning of the family.

Discrimination towards skin colours

The discrimination towards coloured people appeared from her rich friends when Leigh Ann decided to become Michael's legal guardian. One even suggests that her teenage daughter Collins is not safe around him, much to Leigh Anne's disgust. She didn't care about that crap at all and her eyes are blind from seeing Michael's skin colour but, deeply, nobody knows her real intention. Was it about religion? But, from what I believes is, the thick humanity value inside Leigh Ann that brings her to take Michael into her life. 

Later, she champions him by claiming: “Michael’s gift is his ability to forget.” That’s an attitude often heard in modern-day America where the presidency of Barack Obama is meant to prove that talk of racism is old-fashioned, that all wounds can be healed.
