Test!!!

Hi guys! We meet again. Actually I was in great mood yesterday because I have kept my promise to finish my MPW take home quiz 2 (it can be considered finish)! I was happy with that, of course....I have already finished it before evening, so I was just relaxing myself at night by listening to musics from radio. There were so many nice musics transferred to my ears, and I was really enjoying that. But then, I found myself to be too tired as I did my schoolwork nonstop in afternoon. Therefore, I closed the radio and tried to have a sweet dream as I always had. However, I couldn't fell asleep although I have tried very very hard to do so. I hate this!!! Why? I was already out of power, still I couldn't sleep! So, I lied on the bed for a very long time, and without realizing, I fell asleep...zzzzz.... And do you know what happened next?

No doubt, the next morning I woke up (this morning), I was still sleepy. I do not get enough rest! And the worst thing is, I will have an English test tomorrow! That mean I needed to study today, but I am very tired....So, how?! Nevermine, I can push myself to finish it. That is what I thought. And the good news is, I have finished study my notes and exercises now! hahaha... That's why I can have my time to update my blog! Hope that I can really do my best tomorrow....

I can do it! Gambateh!!!!!!

Good Morning !

Hi guys! I have just wake up from my sweeeeet dream. Ha ha...Emm...Sunday...oh ya! This is my very first time not go back to my hometown-Banting. "Actually it takes only 30 minutes plus to reach my happy home from INTI", that is what I always used to say with my friends. Don't blame me ....! But on Thursday, I told my mom that I refused to go back this week. Why? Hmm...the reason is very simple. As all of you know, so many tests and quizzes plus presentation are waiting for us. Oh my god! It is pretty lots for me! So, I have to stay here to work hard. As people always, "Work hard makes you smarter". I totally agree with this statement. Without practising a lot, a person will definitely left behind. But there was some special case-genius! I saw them not even studies at all, but they were still amnaged to do well in tests! Unfair right! I hope that I can have a genius brain, but then I don't have! Too sad! Anyway, just keep on pushing, tomorrow will be better! YEAH!!!!!!

Remember what I have told you all about my roommate? Finally I dint go back to Banting at the weekend, and when I told her about this new, she seemed to be happy for sometime cox...Guess what she told me? She don't need to sleep alone tonight...hahaha...if I am the only one in a small room, definitely I will keep on thinking about all the "weird" things! According to the Chinese calender, it is the seventh month now, meaning to say that it is now the month of GHOST! Wow....Even yesterday I was washing my clothes manually in the bathroom at night, and I was alone inside, and I felt that "something" was looking at me. I became so frightened, but I tried to make myself calmed down, so I speeded up my work and rushed to my room after it is done. Huh...a scary experience! I will never wash my clothes alone again at night! Then, I told my "bad experience" to my roommate, and she just laugh at me, saying that I was coward! What lah!? It is normal right for a girl to have scary feeling when stay alone ina a place! But, ya! I know I am always scare of ghost and insects, even in my home. I think I really can faint down if I meet with ghost! So, you guys don't try to frighten me by using ghost or making ghostly sound!

Ok, I don't want to continue anymore on that kind of crazy story. Let me talk about what I did yesterday. Together with my classmates, we went to jogging! Although it was quite difficult for me to continuosly run down the whole track, but I managed to do that for two times. I think I have lots oof "sport cells" in my body! Ha ha.... I have not jogging for a very long time before yesterday, probably more than a year! Ha, this reminds me of something! Take note! I was an athlete before in primary and secondary school! I took part in high jump, and I was able to keep myself to the first place for almost every competition(but sometimes I miss one or two)! And then, if you guys visit my home, I can show you my trophies...How proud I am! Hahaha....But now there is no chance anymore for me to high jump....I start to miss high jumping although last time when I was trained by coach, I was quite under tension! Hmm...I think I should visit my coach next time I go back to my hometown....

It seemed like I enjoyed saturday, but in the fact I did enjoy, but at the sametime I finished my schoolwork, and I am so happy today! But then I still need to complete my other schoolwork...and I have not take my breakfast yet....so, bye bye......Wish you guys have nice weekend!

Character Review (Australia) : Lady Sarah Ashley

Lady Sarah Ashley is an English aristocrat who inherits a cattle station, Faraway Downs in Australia. In 1939, Lady Sarah travels from Great Britain to Australia to meet her husband, Maitland Ashley in northern Australia, initially to force her husband to sell the cattle station. Her husband's drover comes to the city of Darwin to bring Sarah to their farm; however, when they reach Faraway Downs Farm, they are shocked to find out that Maitland was murdered. Therefore, Sarah decides to take control of Faraway Downs. Sarah befriends Nullah, who tells her that the administrator Neil Fletcher is stealing her cattle; has killed her husband; and is working for the cattle baron King Carney. Sarah fires Fletcher and his men. In order to save Faraway Downs from bankruptcy, she decides to continue her husband’s plan before he passes away which is to deliver 2000 cattle to Darwin. She persuades Drover to help her to take the cattle to Darwin. Sarah, Drover, Nullah and a group of loyal employees, they ride together to drive the cattle to Darwin.

Physically, Lady Sarah Ashley is a pretty and charming woman. She has blond curly hairs and blue eyes. Before and when she reaches Australia at the beginning of the movie, she looked arrogant. As an aristocrat, she used to live in luxuries; therefore she is not very being used to the environment in Australia when she first arrives at Australia. For instance, Lady Sarah overdressed herself when she travels with the drover to Faraway Downs.

Inwardly, Lady Sarah is a determined woman. Even though her husband has passed away, she is still determined to protect her property, Faraway Downs from greedy English cattle barons. In other words, she is tough and strong. She never gives up easily when she faces difficulties. For example, when King Carney’s men poison the water source along the cattle-drive route, she continues the journey although it is going to be an uphill task. With the help from Nullah and King George, she finally completes the task. She shows remarkable courage and determination, and that makes her acknowledged by all people including the barman. He serves Lady Sarah a cup of drink even though women are not allowed in his bar. Besides that, Lady Sarah is strongly opposed to the discrimination of aborigines. She disagrees with the action of the white people to take the half-aboriginal kids away from their mothers. She is very concern about a half-aboriginal kid, Nullah. She loves and takes care of him very much. She even wishes to adopt Nullah after his mother drowned in the water tank, but she faces a lot of difficulties as the society does not accept half-aborigines. Therefore, she tries to make the upper-class whites realize that half-aboriginal children belong to their mothers, not the government. However, the organizers of the mission insist that aboriginal women will forget their “offspring” and they will send the children to Mission Island. When Nullah is taken away to the island, Lady Sarah plans to sacrifice Faraway Downs in order to save him. This shows that she is a loving and caring “mother” as she treats Nullah as her son. Her love towards the kid inspires Fletcher’s wife to have sympathetic feeling towards her, and thus helps her to save Nullah from Mission Island.

Despite of this, Lady Sarah is a rather stubborn person. She always makes decisions for others. At first, she makes decision for her husband to sell the Faraway Downs. Then, when it is time for Nullah to walkabout, she forbids him from walkabout. She does not want to let him go even though walkabout is one of his cultures. Lastly, she rejects an army droving job for Drover without asking his opinion.

Furthermore, Lady Sarah is an emotional woman. For instance, she gets very excited when she sees kangaroos the first time she arrives Australia. Besides, when Fletcher slaps and tries to stop Nullah from telling Lady Sarah about the backroom dealing between him and King Carney, she gets very angry, and emotionally fires Fletcher without considering the negative effects as she may lose the only helping hand to take care of the cattle.

At the end of the movie, Lady Sarah changes from an arrogant, stubborn and emotional person to a loving, caring, tolerant, brave and determined woman after goes through all the hardships. She learns to respect others opinions and accept others points of view. She lets Nullah goes walkabout with King George because she understand that it is their culture.

“Just because it is, doesn’t mean it should be.”
