My Name
My parents named me Muhammad, because it is after the Islamic prophet Muhammad. My name Muhammad means "praiseworthy" it is a famous Arabic name, it is widely chosen for a male child. I liked my name because it means praiseworthy and it fits with my personality. It is a common name and in most cases it is followed with another name. Praiseworthy is the main character of prophet Muhammad, his also famous for being honest, highly intelligent, patient, modest, courageous, generous, and a lot more remarkable qualities. I would like to follow his example as cited in his books known as "Hadith". The book tells about his teachings and the events of his life carefully and accurately recorded and memorised by his closest companions during his lifetime. "Hadith" is next as important as the Quran for all Muslims. As for my name I

The Journey of Theseus
Theseus is the main character in the book Theseus. His journey started when Periphetes, a giant monstrous man roamed around Troezen. He destroyed buildings, animals and people with his bronze club. Theseus killed Periphetes with a giant boulder, by hitting on his head until he died. This prevented him from making extensive disasters in Troezen. In the dramatic dual, Theseus won and took Periphetes' club as a souvenir. His second quest was travelling to see his father King Aegeus in his castle in Athens. The obstacle he encountered so far on this journey was fighting with Periphetes in Troezen.

Journey Quote
"Excellence is not a destination; it is a continuous journey that never ends"
Brian Tracey
I like this quote, it gives me motivation because achieving excellence doesn't have to be at the end of the journey, it can happen in the journey

Malaysia Week
near Sibu island, Johor. The place is a dock in the middle of the sea, it is made of wood like forest and palm trees and it is stable like an oil derrick in the middle of the sea.The activities in Kelong were fishing, fish dissecting, plankton seeing and going to the beach in the end. When I was fishing I caught 9 fish. One of them was a banana fish, its colors are red and grayish-silver; the other one was an alligator gar, it ha
s long body and a long mouth like a birds beak, I caught this fish with the help of Mr Peavy, He said "
Go get your picture taken!", so 9 fish including the alligator gar is 10 fish.
In fish dissecting we were going to dissect the alligator gars, we joined in groups and were given one fish; we dissected it, there was blood and I used my courage to ignore it. Inside the fish there was another fish what the alligator gar ate; Kee threw the eaten fish away. Later my group gave me

Inside the fish there was another fish what the alligator gar ate; Kee threw the eaten fish away. Later my group gave me the fish and I put on the Chopping board for the other group.
In plankton seeing, Mr Peavy told the group about planktons and how to use the microscopes. He told us that small microscopes for planktons and big ones for worms or other planktons. I saw planktons in the microscopes, those planktons reminded me of shrimps and caterpillars.
On the bus ride from and to KL, I look at places, talk to my friend, read a book called The Sea Hunters by Clive Cussler and played sudoku and kakuro.
This is the first Malaysia Week I had and I felt really happy.

The Sultan's Pier
During the winter break my family and I went to back to 
Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The weather was wet most of 
the time because of monsoon season. It didn't rain but poured and the only favorite place in town to find out if the Kelantan river is flooding; The Sultan's Pier is a famous landmark and it is a flood indicator, when the water overflowed its river banks and the pier, then the flood would be on its way. I was there to find out in person!

The goat house
My grandmother lives in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Eve
r since I can remember there is a Goat House next to hers. There was always a large family of goats, at one time there was 28 of them.
The goat house is built of timber with pitch roof made of corrugated zinc. The four walls has a door and openings for ventilation and all around it. It has a ladder from the ground to the entrance, and it has a large compound, surrounded with three foot fence and it even has a gate.
The goats sleep in the house at night. One night I heard noises coming from the goat house when I was at my grandmother's house. Next morning I asked my grandmother what caused it. She told me that unwanted guests might have visited the goat house, like stray dogs, foxes looking for food, thunder and rain, storms and illegal motorcycle races running away from police. These intruders had disturbed the goats. I have a lot of questions about this goat house.
These questions will have to wait until I go back to Kota Bharu in the next school holidays.

Braille inventions
I was fascinated with braille writing because it looks like dominoes. I come across Braille writings on lift buttons, cover of drinking cups and also street decorations in stainless steel over sized braille. Louis Braille was born on 4 January 1809 in a village in Coupvray near Paris, France.
His father, Simon-Rene Braille was working as craftsman/saddle maker and his mother, Monique Baron-Braille, a housewife. His family was not rich and they lived in a village, he has 4 siblings and Louis Braille was the youngest.
He was a bright boy and his father planned that one day he would become a doctor, and engineer or a scientist. One day he was playing with his father's razor sharp knives in his workshop,

SPCA
I came across SPCA when I was 9 years old in NZ. On TVNZ I saw a document
ary on SPCA, it showed orphaned kittens sent to a foster mother cat and she accepted the kittens as her own. I could remember this episode because cats could love other kittens even though they're not hers. Pets are supposed to be loved and not abused. Unwanted pets should be sent to SPCA.
