Do you know that every second of our lives, we are harming our earth in one way or another? Even now, while you are reading this post, you are burning treasured fossil fuels, coal and oil and your endangering the Earth of flooding, Depriving us of the clean water in the north poles and south poles?World termination is imminent. If we persist in this rate, there will be ZERO natural resources in the world. ZER0! And then what happens? We'll all be CaveMen! Reading books carved in stone, cleaving statues will be our avocation. Since the destruction of the world is inevitable, we can only delay it.

Huh? Destruction of the World? Lame. Impossible.

This is, perhaps, what is running in your mind now. Believe it or not, One day, the world is going to run out of natural resources and the all the life on Earth perish. And who's the culprit - MAN
Man is the main culprit for Global Warming. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans. The ozone layer above the earth is playing neutral - It helps us by trapping the sunlight from the Sun so that we can remain worm or else we will freeze to death. It also protects from the harmful ultraviolet rays. On the other hand, it also traps the greenhouse gases radiated by MAN. The dominant source of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, is the power plants. These power plants transmit large amounts of carbon dioxide produced from burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. Burning of Gasoline in vehicles make up approximately twenty percent of carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere. Now, That's a lot of amount we can save by taking public transport to reduce at least 10% of the carbon dioxide emitted by Vehicles.

Buildings are being built every minute over the world. The construction of buildings, resemble a larger source of global warming pollution than vehicles.

Building of these structures require a lot of resources to be burnt which discharge a large amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Methane absorb about 20 times as CO2, making it a more productive gas.

Because of all these causes, the earth heats up and the ice sheets in the two poles melt, increasing sea level and flooding and destroying low-level areas such as Florida. In the next 50 years, the florida we see now, will not exist.


All the ice sheets in the two poles would be sufficient enough sea level by 20 feet. worldwide. Each day passing brings yet new proof that we are now in front of a global emergency, a climate catastrophe that needs immediate and effective action to dramatically decrease carbon dioxide emissions worldwide in order to turn down the earth's rising temperatures and delay the destruction of the world.


How to save ourselves?

Many efforts are being made by many nations to cut down the rate of global warming. One such effort is the Kyoto agreement that has been made between these nations to reduce the emissions of various green house gases.

If these nations can reduce emissions, why can't we?

The Famous 3R's.
Reduce, Recycle, Reuse

Reduce, use reusable products instead of disposables.
Recycle, recycle whenever possible. Newspapers, aluminium cans are some of
the daily like materials we use that can be recycable.
Reuse, reuse non-biodegradable materials such as plastic. Reuse plastic
bags as burning them pollutes the air tremendously .

Drive Less.
This is the easiest way to decrease the rate of global warming.
Take Public Transport. Simple as that. Taking public transport
reduces your carbon footprint. Public transport such as buses and trains
use lesser fuel that other vehicles.

You can also drive Hybrid Cars which typically achieves greater fuel economy and lower emissions than ordinary engine vehicles, resulting in fewer emissions being generated.

Use energy efficient products.
When you are buying new products, choose which are energy efficient and
at the same time, effective. Look out for the green ticks
on the products' tables. From these ticks you can deduce how much
is the product energy saving.


These are a few ways you can save your only home. Treasure every moment you spend
on Earth which supports us life. Without it, nothing would have existed. Let the future generations enjoy Earth too. Always do remember that the Earth is in our hands. We are earth's caretakers. The luxury we relish now would not exist in 200 years. So, take on the obligation and Save the EARTH!

If there was ever a novel which spent 235 weeks in the New York Times Best Seller and fetched a whooping US $120 million in 1 week, it wound be none other than the ultimate
best-seller - TWILIGHT. Written by all-time brilliant Stephenie Meyer, the twilight series has always been one of my most eminent books of my life. Since, reading is one of my minor hobby, I only read award-wining books.

My craving for the Twilight Saga started as soon as the first of the series was released. I admit, I thought that this book was as boring as all the other books I've read but I regret saying it. Believe me, once you've started reading this fantasy and suspense-themed novel, it would be overwhelming to put it down until you've completely read the book at least 1 time. In my case, it was three times. That is how attention-gripping and enthralling TWILIGHT is.

To simplify the story, TWILIGHT goes far beyond the main character Vampire Edward Cullen's and Human Isabella "Bella" Swan's romance. Bella has to move to Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father as her mother desired to live with her "new husband". Moving to a different place meant she will have to make a whole new set of friends and settle into a new school. Bella grew a strong attraction to shockingly appealing, almost inhumanly handsome. At first Edward is unconcerned about Bella, but sometimes it almost seems like he can’t stand to be in the same room as her, but eventually they strike up an unlikely friendship. Gradually, they start a romantic relationship between themselves. Edward persuades Bella that it is menacing for her to be with him, but, the love's spell was too strong to overcome and does not heed his own warning. Edward realizes that the intensity of their yearning could lead Bella's life in danger. He craves for her blood because he is a vampire. She learns Edwards family guarded secret - VAMPIRISM. Despite the craving of blood Bella entices, Edward would not harm her as his desire towards Bella. Not only that but, the family as banned human blood and only allows animal blood.

From there, the story takes a bit of a "twist"
Their bond is provoked by the antagonist, James, a tracker vampire who is intrigued by the Edward's relationship with a human, wants to hunt Bella for pleasure. The Cullens' attempt to distract the tracker by separating up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. James plots a plan to corner Bella by claiming that he is holding her mother captive. Panic-Stricken, Bella immediately surrenders herself, James assaults her. Before she is killed, Edward, along with the other Cullens, rescues her and eliminate James. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward successfully sucks the venom from her bloodstream and prevents her from becoming a vampire. Bella is instantly brought to a hospital. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their school usually and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, but Edward refuses which concludes the end of TWILIGHT.


*******************************************
In my opinion, twilight had a very captivating plot and a gripping storyline which is very critical to the first book of the series. Author Stephenie Meyer executed her creative imagination and her impressive writing skills goes beyond what a normal writer would think of.

With her outstanding writing and resplendent imagination, the story makes me feel a detective in the story watching all of it unveil. I feel that the author's descriptive writing is very easy to comprehend and picture an vivid image of the scene in mind with the

The story is narrated Bella’s viewpoint, therefore, creating a suspense-filling and thrilling feeling.In this book, Stephenie Meyer's story is fresh and compelling.
I would recommend this book to people who love romance and fantasy stories. Not only that but people who like twist and suspense in their stories. I would mostly recommend this book to youngsters and people who are still in the early 20's as this book is mainly about youngsters. This book would grip youngsters as the behavior of the characters in the book and related to how ordinary youngsters would react in the kind of situation Edward or Bella is facing.



And that brings my Book Review in TWILIGHT to an end. Hope you like it. Any improvements or suggestions , Please leave a note in the Tagboard

I have several interests, but I am going to talk about two of them, to ensure that readers are still awake after reading this entry.

My first interest is Listening music. I listen to music in my leisure time or whenever I am tensed. When I cannot focus on a particular activity, i would just listen to soothing music such as Fireflies by Owl City for a while. And surprisingly, I am able to concentrate more on it. I know what are you thinking now : "Huh..?! I thought listening to music decreases your concentration". That's the weird thing about me. I tend to focus more when i listen to music. My personal favourite band is Boys Like Girls. And also Black Eyed Peas. Both bands play Pop/Rock/Alternative Rock music which I adore. My all-time favourite song is from Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls


My Second interest is Playing Basketball. Basketball is a team sport and territorial/invasion game which two teams of 5 players try to score points against one another by placing a ball through a hoop under organized rules. I like this sport as it requires all of your body parts and necessitates Psychomotor skills. As I have told this before in my 1st post, I've been playing this sport for 4 years. I usually play this sport 2-3 times a week. This sport also requires speed and stamina. I was inspired by my Chinese friends to develop my interest in playing this challenging Sport. Strategy and Teamwork are critical to a basketball match. In NBA, I support L.A.Lakers. I want to be like Kobe Bryant, who is a professional basketballer in Lakers team. I think that is all to tell about my interests.

This is my multi-racial dinner. This dish's name is Gado-Gado. When my mother told me more about this dish, I found out this was actually a Indonesian Traditional Dish. Since, I contemn vegetables, I declined this dish at first, but the moment I started to eat it, I savoured it until the last bit of the dish. This dish is very nutritious as it contains vegetables, tofu, peeled eggs and many other ingredients which are critical to one's life. How? I'll explain it.

1) TOFU
Tofu, despite its low amount of fat and calories is enriched with calcium,magnesium and iron. Calcium is critical to our bone growth. A Lack of calcium would cause diseases like Osteoporosis and Polio which relates to brittle bones.
Iron from our food is an essential part of hemoglobin - the substance which carries oxygen in the blood. Therefore, Iron is critical for all the parts of the body to function properly and orderly.A Lack of iron in the body would cause diseases like iron deficiency anemia (IDA)which results in people felling very tired, weak and lethargic.Pale Skin, Skin irritation are also some of the effects caused by IDA.Magnesium plays a critical part in the formation of bones and teeth. It is also involved with transmitting nerve signals and causing muscle contractions. Magnesium helps the body balance the levels of fats and proteins. Deficiency in Magnesium could result in diseases like anaemia, frequent cramps, mood swings and irritability.

2)Vegetables (French Beans)
Vegetables like French Beans are rich in Fibre, Vitamin C and other important vitamins. Dietary Fibre pushes against the walls of the digestive tract causing them to stimulate the muscle surrounding the tract to help keep this smooth muscle toned and healthy. It helps bowel movement easier and it adds bulk to your waste, giving you a sense of full feeling. It also flushes out toxins which are harmful to your body. It also plays a critical prevent constipation, hemorrhoids, and other intestinal problems as well as helping to prevent appendicitis by keeping the contents of the intestine moist and easy to get rid off. vegetables do normally contain Vitamin C, which is a antioxidant vitamin, helps your immune systems to fight off diseases and prevents diseases such as Scurvy which results to the formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from the mucous membranes. A person with Scurvy looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. In advanced scurvy there are open, suppurating wounds and loss of teeth.

There are endless things to tell about this traditional salubrious dish
Well I gotta finish here, don't want to make my blog such a boring one!

Hi---Diao.
This is pathetic but never mind.
Hi, my name is bala. I am 13 years old (Secondary 2)
I am studying in a premier school which i would rather not reveal.
Being the eldest son of my family, I have a younger sibling who is 10 years old(Primary 4).He is very annoying. His hobby is to provoke me until i admit he is better than me in everything.
My CCA is Track & Field and i have trainings on Mondays, Wednesday and Saturdays. My schedule is a bit tight. I am in the 100m sprinting event. My sprinting speed is average; not too fast, not too slow. Despite my speed, my stamina is quite low.
My hobby is actually to play Basketball. I've been playing basketball for about 4 years. My aim is to be like Kobe Bryant(Basketball Superstar). Basketball is a very tough sport which requires a lot of concentration and control.

I don't think there is anything more to write about me. That's all!
