Panda to replace 'Paul the octopus?'

Sadly,on the 26th of October, Paul the Octopus passed away. Being a literal celebrity for predicting the outcome of 8 World Cup matches and getting them all right, people loved him world-wide. He was probably most loved in China, which mourned his death, but continued on and found a replacement. 12 pandas will replace 'Paul' as the oracle of The 'Asian Games.' Each panda will predict a sport of their specialty, for example 'Bosi,' a giant panda, who is smart will predict the outcome of the martial arts. Not many people think well of the pandas like they did with 'Paul' but we'll see the outcome when the games start. Well good luck to the 'predicting pandas!'

In School Sales

In my school, my friends and I started a business in the enterprise club and managed to get something going. Firstly, we have about 10 members and 3 managers which includes me. So far, my team is going to sell basic beverages like Pepsi, Sprite, and Mirinda (Right after schools finished). Also we are going to sell Jawbreakers and some candies. Other then that we are also selling Tech Decks®. This small business is great because we got permission and signatures from the Enterprise supervisor/teacher, the Enterprise assistant, and the Principle of my school. In fact, orders from kids grade 8 and below are rolling in! We are hoping for success and in the future we will have an amazing website called "Aquero".com. Thats a future plan and if this school business starts out well then I'll hope to see the world in our international business group!

My new Braces

Just yesterday, I went to the Dr. Sunny clinic for braces. Before this I already did a few check-ups and they said that they had to pull three of my teeth. Of course i was scared slightly at the thought of the dentist pulling out my teeth but I had to create confidence. The truth is, when the dentist pulled out the the first two teeth at the top of my mouth it didn't hurt much. It only hurt a bit when the dentist injected something in my gums to create a numb feeling, so it wouldn't hurt when he pulled out the teeth. The actual pulling felt like nothing, literally nothing. After one week of the two teeth getting pulled out, the dentist got ready to put braces at the top of my mouth. This felt weird and when i got home to eat it felt extremely hard to bite on to something and my teeth felt sore. Next week from now im going to get my braces on the bottom to give me a full set!

Future Business

Some weeks from now people in outside countries will be in luck. My friends and I will create a website selling a vast list of products shipping overseas. Some products my group will sell will be some branded Sk8 T-shirts from Volcom, Vans, Billabong, and Quicksilver at cheaper prices then retail stores. Later on we will have sales if you follow our future website, which I will immediately post here on this blog! We assure buyers that our business is going to be 100% legal and licensed by the time of its grand opening. Many interesting stuff will be sold at cheap prices so for most people this business will be a big step in the

over-seas

clothing industry. Remember products from U.A.E (United Arab Emirates) will also be sold like Arabian cloth and many local merchandise. We hope everyone will enjoy this as much as my team does.....!

Malacca Malaysia

Some 2 months ago when i was in Malaysia. I went to a tourist spot which many of my school friends went to so I went to see how it was like. It was a great place as I stayed at A'fomosa resort with my cousin and my fathers sister. As we arrived at the hotel, we dropped our load of bags and immediately went to the waterpark. For the whole day we stayed playing there until seven. My cousin and I went to the arabian area, wave pool, and the 7-floor slide. Also we rented a double tube for Tube slide, for relaxation, on the tube we lazed on the lazy river. It was a fun though tiring day. After coming back to the hotel with the hotel jeep, we slept. Next morning we ate some breakfast then went off to Malacca's historic area, where we saw but didn't get a chance to ride Eye on Malacca Ferris Wheel. Then we went to a crocodile farm. Later that day we went shopping and even after that, we went to Mini-Malaysia (an outdoor area with traditional Malaysian houses). Next morning, on the third and final, last day, we went to the animal park which was still in A'fomosa. In the animal park, we visited the Monkey island, watched a amazing bird show, explored a chicken farm, ventured on elephants, visited animals like the local 'tapir,' and lastly went to the Safari on a fast Jeep crowded with Arab and American tourists. The time at Malacca was amazing and I'll never-ever forget it! :)

Mercun/Fireworks

For most people out there, fireworks is a thing that the government or official people do. It was the same for me as I went on with my average life but when I went to my country, Malaysia it all changed. For Sharjah, I had a 3 month break, summer break plus ramadan. So for the 3 months i went straight to Malaysia. It was a really good time to go because I could see the Merdeka/Independence celebration in August, fast for the month of Ramadan, and celebrate Eid-Al Fitr/ Hari raya. After a month of staying at Malaysia Merdeka came and I went to one of my cousins house. He had a bunch of FireCrackers and FireWorks with him. First i was like "wow," but later on i found out it was common. Then at my grandmothers house, she had a lot more fireworks for the grandchildren to play with a Merdeka night. Eventually I stumbled upon stores and bought many, in fact i was addicted to playing with them. Firecrackers are extremely hard to find because they are dangerous and the government banned them due to lots of accidents and even deaths. So yes it is illegal! Still every one in the village had boxes of them. At night kids usually compete by seeing who can make the best firework display. To find the fireworks you have to got to village stalls and some peoples houses to get them. To play with Mercun, you need a lighter. I played with these types of mercun: Dragon eggs, Matches, German Thunder, Rocket, Thunderclap, ThunderKing, Roman Candle, Race wheel, Dynamite, Happy Boom, Fireworks, Fire Flower.

Dragon eggs send sparks but stay on the ground, not so loud.

Matches, once lit you throw them and they'll be silent but in 30 seconds KABOOM! Yup its loud.

Dynamite, Throw it quick cause in 3 seconds BOOM, Faster ignition but less louder then matches.

German Thunder is related to matches and dynamite but it makes 1-2-3 KABOOMS, so basically three BOOMs.

Rockets must be in a bottle or planted lightly on the ground, light them and run, in 10 seconds EKKKKKKK....BOOM! They'll go airborne and Pop loud, must be played on field

Thunderclap and ThunderKing are brothers both related to rockets, light them and run, thunderclab will ShSHHHEKKKKKK..SPARK3..BOOM Thunderking is like fireworks just not that bright
it will shhhhhSHHHHEKKKKKKKK....Clap Spark LIGHTS..BOOM

Roman Candle is interesting, you can hold it then light it and it will start throwing fireballs in the air, THUMP..BOOM multiple times.

Race wheel is really nice, you light it on concrete or stone any hard surface. Throw it and it will move like a wheel but with fire lights.

Happy Boom is a very cool thing to play with, as you light it throw it on the ground it will leak out colorful flames and changes color.

Fireworks are the ultimate mercun. For 25 ringgit about 8 Dollars you get a Packet which you place on the ground and light up, run and watch your own firework show, just like the ones you see at parks or when a celebration occurs. Its really loud and bright sparkly, sparky, and everything the average firework show has, it lasts 20 shots.

Fire flower is a kid thing where someone lights up a stick and it sparks with light/flares up.

Also there is the poppers which everyday people play with, where you throw it and POP!

Linkin Park

Linkin park is one of my favorite rock bands and is also favored by millions around the world internationally. Being a very famous band with music all over the music billboard charts, Linkin Park continued to grow. Having Chester as the main singer and Mike mostly as the person who raps their music would fit for most people from soft songs to hard rock songs. Linkin Park was also featured for the theme song of both Transformers movies, and 'Transformers' being a very popular movie brought further attention to the band. The main albums were 'Meteora' and 'Hybrid Theory' and now Minutes to Midnight featuring a wide range of song types. Linkin Park also had an older song with Jay-Z, the song being called 'Encore' originating from the song 'Numb.'
Other than being an awesome band, Linkin Park contributed to many charity concerts, Like 'Live 8,' a concert for the great nations and recently some months ago for the disastrous 'Haiti' with the song 'Not Alone' from the artists of Haiti album. Now for 2010 Linkin Park is still moving on featuring a live game for the ipod touch,iphone, and ipad, called '8-Bit Rebellion.' This game is about a company call Pixelcorp disrupting the Bands 8-bit harmony. Pixelcorp steals tracks and songs, and your job as the hero is to retrieve them for the band members. As a reward at the end of the game, they give you a video of their new song 'BlackBirds.' Even after the game they are still currently an active band. In fact, right now they are releasing a new album called 'A Thousand Suns,' said on the website to be released on the 14th of September. Thats big news for fans!
