Transformer2-Revenge Of The Fallen

Transformer 2 Is Back To School Again

Transformer 2 is greater than Transformer 1. So if you are a fan of  Transformer, please remember to support it by going to watch it in the cinema. Have fun and enjoy yourself! Don’t forget to transform yourself to a hardworking boy after watching it. Bye and see you again in the cinema.  “AUTOBOT… TRANSFORM!

transformers-2-promo-stand

Since the days of Un Chien Andalou and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, filmmakers have reached beyond meaning. But with this summer’s biggest, loudest movie, Michael Bay takes us all the way inside Caligari’s cabinet. And once you enter, you can never emerge again. I saw this movie two days ago, and I’m still living inside it. Things are exploding wherever I look, household appliances are trying to kill me, and bizarre racial stereotypes are shouting at me. Transformers: ROTF has mostly gotten pretty hideous reviews, but that’s because people don’t understand that this isn’t a movie, in the conventional sense. It’s an assault on the senses, a barrage of crazy imagery.

Autobot Tranformers

And the true genius of Transformers: ROTF is that Bay has put all of this excess of imagery and random ideas at the service of the most pandering movie genre there is: the summer movie. ROTF is like twenty summer movies, with unrelated storylines, smushed together into one crazy whole. You try in vain to understand how the pieces fit, you stare into the cracks between the narrative strands, until the cracks become chasms and the chasms become an abyss into which you stare until it looks deep into your own soul, and then you go insane. You. Do. Not. Leave. The Cabinet.

Michael Bay understands that summer movies are about two things: male anxiety, and pure id. That’s why he casts Shia LaBoeuf, that supreme avatar of pure male inadequacy, in the lead role. LaBoeuf projects a pathetic, wall-eyed dorkhood, when he’s not babbling like a tumor removed from Woody Allen’s prostate that somehow achieved sentience. I imagine the DVD of ROTF will include a whole disk of outtakes where they had to stop filming because LaBoeuf was drooling on camera. As it is, the film includes several extreme closeups of LaBoeuf’s dazed stare. Read more at www.io9.com

Science Process Skills

Basic Science Process Skills

The basic science process skills are what people do when they do science. Children using these same skills are active learners:

  • They use their senses to observe objects and events and they look for patterns in those observations.
  • They classify to form new concepts by searching for similarities and differences.
  • Orally and in writing, they communicate what they know and are able to do.
  • To quantify descriptions of objects and events, they measure.
  • They infer explanations and willingly change their inferences as new information becomes available.
  • And they predict possible outcomes before they are actually observed.

science-process-skills sps-book1 sps-book2 science-equipment

Seven Science Process Skills

1.  OBSERVING: Using your senses to gather information about an object or event. It is description of what was actually perceived. This information is considered qualitative data.

2.  CLASSFYING: Grouping or ordering objects or events into categories based upon characteristics or defined criteria.

3.  INFERING: Formulating assumptions or possible explanations based upon characteristics.

4. PREDICTING: Guessing the most likely outcome of a future event based upon a pattern of evidence.

5. MEASURING: Using standard measures or estimations to describe specific dimensions of an object or event. This information is considered quantitative data.

6. COMMUNICATING: Using words, symbols, or graphics to describe an object, action or event.

7. USING SPACE/TIME RELATIONS: Describe an object’s position i.e., above, below, beside, etc., in relation to other objects. Or describe the motion, direction, spatial arrangement, symmetry, and shape of an object compared to another object.

Menyambut Hari Guru 2009

Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa

Pada tanggal 16 Mei setiap tahun seluruh negara menyambut Hari Guru sebagai penghormatan jasa kaum guru dan tanda ucapan terima kasih kepada mereka. Penghormatan ini amat layak diberikan kerana usaha gigih guru dalam mendidik insan merupakan peranan yang mulia. Pembangunan diri insan yang cemerlang akan menentukan matlamat pembinaan sebuah negara yang maju dan aman akan dapat kita capai.

Menyedari pentingnya pembinaan negara bangsa bagi sebuah negara yang berbilang kaum seperti Malaysia, Kementerian Pelajaran telah memilih “Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa” sebagai tema Hari Guru pada tahun ini.

Keupayaan membina Negara Bangsa amat bergantung kepada keutuhan perkongsian nilai serta semangat patriotisme yang dapat dipupuk dan disuburkan dalam kalangan semua lapisan rakyat, terutama dalam kalangan generasi muda.
Menerusi semangat patriotisme, bangsa akan menjadi kuat, berani, mempunyai kekuatan mental, emosi dan fizikal dalam membentuk ketahanan negara.

Nilai sosial seperti semangat kekitaan, perasaan saling hormat-menghormati, mengamalkan sifat toleransi, taat setia dan pengabdian yang tidak berbelah bagi terhadap negara wajarlah dipupuk dan diamalkan sejak di bangku sekolah dan menjadikannya budaya hidup masyarakat.

Sekian. Selamat Menyambut Hari Guru!

Say No To Deforestation

Environmental Issues 2009

Deforestation: How It Affects Us?

The Earth is dying in silence due to human activities. When the elimt is at the tipping point, we put the blame on the blogbal warming. How can we solve this matter? How can we reduce the increasing number of trees that we have cut down from day to day? Do you really know what is happening to the Earth? Come and lets explore the latest environmental issues.

Deforestation deforestation

Deforestation: Do You Care?

What is Deforestation? Deforestation is defined as the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands. What are the consequences? Soil erosian, Greenhouse effect, Drought and higher climate.

What Can We Do About It?

  1. Practise recycling habit.
  2. Increases the number of tree plantations.
  3. Enforcement of laws by governments for illegal loggers.
  4. Creates an easier way to recycle papers.
  5. Give supports and take part in awareness campaigns held by the government and global organizations.

Did You Know?

  • An area of forest equal to 20 football or rugby fields is lost every minute.
  • We are losing Earth’s greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth’s land surface. Now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
  • One hectare (2.47 acres) may contain over 750 types of trees and 1500 species of higher plants.

“We determine the key of tomorrow for our future generation. Save the Earth, and start recycling.
Lets give a hand to preserve our Earth.
