EXCUSES ABSENCE FROM CLASS

TOP EXCUSES ABSENCE FROM CLASS

OVERSLEPT

Nowadays many student in university mostly like to do not beneficial activities, it also because influence from the friends. For example hanging out with friends at shopping complex, go to clubbing or party and so on. They always go back home in the late morning when they have hanging out with their friends every night. So they feel tired and lazy to wake-up. So, because of that they make decision not need to go to class.

NO TRANSPORTATION

Usually many student give excuses like missed the bus. They missed the bus because they unpunctual about the time. So they feel no need to attend classes on that day. Behind that, students also who give reason their vehicle damaged. For example a flat tire and the car or motorcycle cannot start. When the vehicle is damaged so they think they do not need to come to their classes and they have good reasons not to come to class.

NOT INTERESTING SUBJECTS

Moreover, not interest in the subject class to be a one of the reasons students doesn’t come to class. These students often do not have an interest in learning and they not focus in the class. So, students feel the subject is not important. For example, the student feels difficult to memorize a subjects that have many theories and fact. Other students also don’t like calculation subject because they must take longer times solve the problem and learn about problematic equation. Therefore, not all subject make they easy to understand and make their focus in a class, so it make them so lazy come to class. It will make them take time to think, learn and study about a subject.

HOBBY

What is a hobby? A hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment or relaxation and not as a main occupation. A hobby is generally an art in which a person is most interested. It always serves as a source of recreation.

There are numerous hobbies. Some are fond of singing. Others like to draw pictures. Some collect stamps and old coins while other take interest in collecting poetry pieces or purchasing old books. In short, there are many hobbies as there are persons.

Now, let us bring you to the Blogger Maniacs hobbies. Our first member is Zarif. Playing musical instrument such as piano and guitar are his hobby. When he was studying or has a free time, Zarif used to take a break to play something energetically. However, when Zarif went to university, he had to leave his piano behind but he bring his guitar. Sometimes he plays guitar for his housemates and singing together with them.

Next is Marul. Marul likes to play futsal when his has free time. Playing futsal helps him to relax and be confident after studying all day long. Besides that, futsal taught him the spirit of teamwork and created a strong sportsmanship in his attitude. To Marul, this futsal is interesting and amazing, especially the feeling when he score a goal. That feeling gives him that he just achieves something important.  

Our third member is Ilham. His favourite hobby is playing Dota. Ever since he was in high school, he loves this game. As many people know, this is a MOBA game that has been rising to the big leagues of games ever since it was created. Dota is known for its capability to get its players highly addicted to it and Ilham is addicted to it. He can play this games for many hours without eat and get bath. 

Then, our fourth member is Aisyah. Aisyah loves drawing because drawing do not cost much and is always fun. Aisyah likes drawing since she was 5 years old. The weirdest thing about her hobby is that nobody taught her how to draw. She learnt it by herself and later got inspiration by her parents. She always intimated everything from books such as cartoons and animes. She improving her skills until now and still making improvements.

The last member is Aqilah. Aqilah's hobby is travelling. She loves to travel. Travelling has been a core component of her life since she was a very young. Her family had the mentality of going to countless places rather than the same place year after year. These trips has taken Aqilah all over Malaysia giving her many opportunities that many have been able to experience. 

iOS v Android

iOS and android been competing almost 6 years form now. The first iOS was unveiled in 2007 and the first android was unveiled in 2008. So a lot of change since then obviously over 6 year. But the question still remain which is better? What i read today is my opinion and my experiences most of this coming up to my head so i'm gonna miss some topic and support the topics but let us leave discussion for the comment. So lets get started.

FLUIDITY

Fluidity isn't a speed, fluidity is what the phone make of that speed what operating system does with that speed. For iOS its lacking hardware but really well optimized all the animation and stuff are extremely smooth. On the android side, you can reach that level of fluidity but its not always right out of the box. But if modified maybe install custom ROM or something you can reach that fluidity.

SIMPLICITY & CUSTOMIZABILITY

When we looking at iOS a lot of simplicity and it easy to use and self-explanatory but its not very customizable. So eventhough i appreciate customizability of iOS is definitely something to desire. But on the android side of thing you have a lot of customizability you can tell your phone to your needs but its not simple because you need to know what you doing.

HARDWARE

Speaking of iOS hardware its awful the specs are low end their subpar kinda disgusting actually on the batteries are low-powered everything in the iOS is subpar you're not getting a high-end device but its pretty well optimized for the iPhone. On the android side of thing you extremely powerful devices such as qHD display switches and you have 3gigabytesof RAM huge batteries with huge battery life huge screen its over all the hardware.

APP'S

This is the last thing i want to talk about and app now is an interesting subject because on iOS side of thing to get a lot of pre installed app but you cant delete unless you jailbreak to do something like that but then you you also have the App store which is expansive it's much bigger than the Google Play store. But on android you can make it so you dont have any app's on your home screen you'll have to have any out on your own tune is totally customizable but the Google Play Store is a little bit smaller . 

Soo thats all for my opinion and if you disagree with anything or maybe i forgot a topic or got something wrong just go and leave a comment and we will discuss

Family Vacation, Greatest thing a family can do Together.

In the end of the year 2015, my family went on a 4 days 3 nights vacation to Thailand. My family and I went there by car and it was my father who drove there. We departed from our home on Saturday by 11 P.M., from Malacca. There are two Malaysia-Thailand borders in the state of Perlis, we went to Thailand by bypassing the Perlis-Thailand Border.

We arrived at Wang Kelian, Perlis at 8 A.M. for a light breakfast at a food stall. Right after breakfast, we continued our journey to The Free Land, Thailand. The village right across Wang Kelian is Wang Prachan in the Satun province, Southern Thai. We then cross the border by passing the Malaysia-Thailand immigration office.

Our first destination in Thailand is Pak Bara. Pak Bara is in the Langu District. We then spend a night at the Pak Bara Resort. We had our dinner at the Pak Bara Restaurant. Over at the restaurant, we had the most Iconic Thailand Cuisine ever. The Spotlight of Thailand. We had the most amazing Seafood Tom yam, together with Steamed Sea Bass, served with Thai Rice. After that night, we spent our time reminiscing the past together. I love to see my family having a great time together.

The next day, we had our light breakfast and then we continued our journey together to the Iconic Place in Thailand, Krabi. It took us 7 hours to reach Krabi from Pak Bara. Over there, we checked in at the Srisuksant Resort Ao Nang. Since it is a long travel from Pak Bara to Krabi, we had our rest after we checked in. After we had our dinner, we went to the Ao Nang Beach by Tuk Tuk. We stopped by to a few stalls there and bought some souvenirs. Since we went there at night, so we can't see most of the sceneries at the Ao Nang Beach. The next morning, we took a walk at the Ao Nang Beach. The view there is extraordinarily amazing. We then checked out from the Srisuksant Resort Ao Nang.

Right after Krabi, we continue on our journey to Hatyai, which is a 10 hour drive. Hatyai is our last checkpoint for this vacation trip. Before checking into the hotel, we had our dinner first. We all looked half-dead thanks to the 10 hour trip. All and all, I am very proud of my father who drove the entire trip there. Thank you, Abah. We then checked in at the Hatyai Greenview Hotel, Haytai.

Finally, the final day for our 4 days 3 nights trip to Thailand. My mother wants to stop by at the Hatyai Market to buy some groceries. She bought some Tom yam paste, rice, spices and so on. After that, we had our lunch together at one of the most famous restaurants in Hatyai, . After we had that amazing lunch, we continue on to the Sadao District, which is also known as Danor on the border of Malaysia at the Songkhla Province, Southern Thai. Again, we went through the Thailand-Malaysia immigration office to go back to Malaysia.

It was an amazing experience we shared together as a family. This travel experience is very adventurous for me and my family. Even with the long drive form one place to another, it's still an amazing experience to be spent together as a family. I hope one day, me and my family can do this activity together again.

Bully, Childhood Nightmare

Ever thought about someone being bullied on their entire childhood? Let us share the biggest slice of one of our member's childhood: being bullied. It all started when I was in standard 1. Since the first day of school, my peers love to bully me. They LOVE to bully me. As a low self-esteem kid, I will always be targeted for bullying. Easier said like this: I am a bully-material.

My peers will always ask for my pocket money. Every single day, I can never join the "cool" kids having their lunch, because the "cool" kids' lunch was sponsored by me. If i forgot to bring any food from home, I will stay in class and study alone.

I remember during art class, where we got to paint on a piece of big canvas. It turns out that my school attire is also categorized as a big canvas to paint on. My classmates will paint my clothes whenever they have the chance. They will only stop if i start to cry and call for the teacher.

During my standard school years, I am the class' homework-doer. My classmates will queue in front of me and pass their homework to me. Every day, my homework will be quadrupled because i will have to do the extra 3 copies for my classmates. This nightmare stopped when the teacher notices in the resemblance of the handwriting.

This is only a small fraction of my bully experience. I end my story here. Thank you.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Ever wonder the story from the opposite side? In every bully stories, there's always the ones who get bullied, and the bully. We will now share what it feels like bullying someone. This story is from one of our member's childhood memories.

When I was in standard 3 I always follow my classmates to bully the juniors. It feels great at that time because it can make my day happy. The most unforgotten bully that my friend and I did was ask the kid to gently blow a well lit light bulb until it turns off. I enjoyed watching him crying and blowing the light bulb for a solid 2 hours. He begged to us to make him stop when he started to pee in his pants. Oh my god that was funny.

Next, when I was in standard 5 during Morning Assembly,  I poured a bottle of Axe Brand Oil at one of my friend's back. He started to sweat because of the pain inflicted to him. Right after the Morning Assembly, he runs to the toilet to wash his back. I then sprinkled some extra Axe Brand Oil on his armpit to add the extra burn. He cried for help and went home because he can't handle the pain. This was the best memory that I have in mind.

I will end my story here because it is too harsh to tell. All and all, we all have changed to a better person. Let us together help the country by being a better person. :)
