MONEY TALK

For me, it is very difficult to manage my money well in university.Money management doesn't sound familiar with me as I am not exposed to it before.It seems to be none of my business to think anything regarding money.Last week, I have read an article entitled " Money Talk " in Reader's Digest ( October 2007, pg.140 ) which states some ways how parents can teach their kids to manage their money properly.
  • when at the ATM
  • when grocery shopping
  • when giving them allowance
  • when shopping
  • when planing a holiday

After read this, I realised that this article is very useful to me. It's teach me to list down the items that I want to buy before going for shopping and buy the things that I need, not the things that I want.

ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS

Firstly,we my friend want to give me this movie, I refuse to accept. For me, this movie is a very bored before I watch this. But after I finish watch, I realise that it is a very interesting and funny movie. I don't fell bored although I already watch this for many times. This movie is about the relationship between Dave and the chipmunks, Alvin, Simon and Theodore. At the beginning, it's show that Dave very suprise and scared when he meet with the chipmunks. The chipmunks can talk, sing and do everythings that human can do. But, after a while he can accept them and start from that day they become very close and the chipmunks called Dave as dad.They can't stay far from each other anymore. After watch this movie, I want to suggest to everyone who never what this movie, you must watch. It's can help to release our tension and stress.It's also show that animals also have felling like human.

PAGES :63


That is af fact about IPODS. Maybe a lot of people do not know about this.Close encounters with iPods will caused interference with cardiac pacemakers. When the iPods were held 5cm from our chest for 5-10 seconds, some pacemakers could misread heart function and in some case, the life preserving device temporarily stopped functioning.
Maybe, the typical pacemaker patient may not be an iPods user, but when they often in close contact with the iPods user, they might be get it.
So, after this please make sure we stand far from people who used iPods to avoid from this situation.

People must use their eyes while studing, watching TV or even when surfing the net. Futhermore,during the exam week. Many student will stay up until morning to do some revision and may be more prone to eyestrain and fatigue.
Here, there are some ways to overcome this problem:
  1. eat fresh fruits and vegetables may help to promote eye health because these are contains with vitamins and antioxidants. The main focus is to get antioxidant vitamins A, C and E which mostly can be found in oranges, carrots, tomatoes and green leafy vegetables.

So, if mostly people follow this guideline, I'm sure that this problem can be solve.

MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week, I have watching Death Race movie. It was an action film written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. The film was starring of Jason Statham as Jensen Ames / Frankenstein, Tyrese Gibson as " Mechine Gun Joe", Joan Allen as Hennessey, Ian McShane as coach and Natalie Martinez as Case . The movie is about Jensen Ames who is work at a steel mill that close due to bankruptcy returns home. When he arrived, everything was fined, but when Ames goes to check on their baby and he go back to the kitchen, he saw his wife on the floor dead and then, he knocked out by the intruder, awakening later with bloody knife in his hand and his wife's body next to him, with police standing above him, framing him forher murder. Ames is sent to the prison where he is coerced by the prison warden, Hennessey to become Frankenstein. She tells Ames that she knows of his baby that was left in foster care, and that prisoners are freed upon winning five Death Races, but since he will take on the mask of the legendary Frankenstein who had 4 wins at the time of his death, he will only need to win one race. Because of his loved to his baby, he accept the agreement and start from that moment, he become Frankenstein. He was introduced to his coach and Case as Frankenstein's navigator. At the end, nobody win the race because both of the final driver ecsaped from the prison. Although the movie shows a lot of action, but it still have the moral value. When we work together to against something, of course it's will work and even though he knows he's far from being the best parent in the world, no one could love his baby more than he could.
