Today class.......

Today Bro Chan came in for the class.(For you information, Sis Khoo went to Jakarta)

The main topic we discussed today is Food Fair.

Bro. Chan told us that this food fair is a great chance for us to learn.It let us open up ourself,learning speaking skill, gain confidences.He also taught us some living soft skills.....from his own experiences.

In life, one of the point is to be a good listener.By having a good listening skill, we can understand others, and can act according to instructions.When we developed our skills to a higher level, besides learning,we can take down the keywords,interprets it and dissolve...in our stomach.

Bro Chan also stressed on systematic works.A systematic work can determine how is a person.This plays a big role in the future......

SO back to the point.....

Helen The Baby Fox (14th Jly)

For this week , we had a Japanese movie entitled: Helen The Baby Fox.This was a 2006 film, written by Minoru Taketazu and screened by Masako Imai.
The story is about,

Leaving school for the day, seven-year old Taichi finds a baby fox alongside a road in rural Hokkaido. The two bond, and Taichi decides to leave the fox with the police as a lost item. The policeman on duty takes a reluctant Taichi and the fox to the local Yajima Veterinary Clinic. It turns out that Taichi has begun to live with Ko, the vet, and his teenage daughter Misuzu after his free-spirited mother Ritsuko has gone to Micronesia to work as a photographer. Many people have abandoned animals with Ko, and paying customers are few with most of his income coming from frequently boarding a friendly dog that is almost part of the family. Taichi feels abandoned as well, and clashes with Ko when the vet sees the new arrival as a burden, especially after discovering that the fox is deaf and blind. However, Taichi names it Helen after Helen Keller and attempts to bring her back to full health while teaching her about the world as sort of a young Annie Sullivan. Even though Taichi gets her to eat, Helen suffers increasing fits stemming from her damaged brain. Written by Brian Greenhalgh

Taichi effort and never gives up spirit encourage the little fox,Helen to continue her life.Instead of 3 days, the little fox had lived up to 3 weeks. It might be short, but for Taichi and his family....this period is like between spring and summer, leaving each others the best memory.

Sometimes, cares are the best medicine.




A Beautiful Mind(7th July)

On 7th July, we had movie sharing session.On that day we had shown the movie --A Beautiful Mind
This was a 2001 movie, directed by Ron Howard.

Story is about:

At Princeton University, John Nash struggles to make a worthwhile contribution to serve as his legacy to the world of mathematics. He finally makes a revolutionary breakthrough that will eventually earn him the Nobel Prize. After graduate school he turns to teaching, becoming romantically involved with his student Alicia. Meanwhile the government asks his help with breaking Soviet codes, which soon gets him involved in a terrifying conspiracy plot. Nash grows more and more paranoid until a discovery that turns his entire world upside down. Now it is only with Alicia's help that he will be able to recover his mental strength and regain his status as the great mathematician we know him as today. Written by rmlohner

To success, first thing we need to do is to overcome ourself. John Nash with the help of Alicia, he finally get out from his "own world" and getting the Noble Prize, become a great mathematician.
