First, I would like to expand my gratitude to our English teacher, Pn. Ng for giving us this assignment. Frankly speaking, this assignment does help me use my ideas and creativity in building my own blog. Through building this blog, I have learned that we need to care for one another, especially someone close to us or someone who means a lot to us. It can be our family, immediate relatives such as our cousins, aunties, uncles, grandparents, friends and so on. Some of us might also have Godparents or god-brothers or sisters, that means that they are not family related neither does their blood ties. It happens during the close bond between the relationships or friendships.

Next, I would like to say thank you to my parents for their guidance in helping me to construct a nice sentence so that you guys can read. Also, not forgetting my brothers, thank you for giving me lots and lots of creative ideas on building this fabulous blog!! They are my family and WE CARE for EACH OTHER. That makes us united and form a TRUE and FIRM caring tree.

Finally, to my friends, I wish to thanks all of you. Thank you for giving me your personal comments. I also have to say sorry if I have hurt anyone's feeling. I thank you for all the honest comment and replies that are passed to me. I am cool about it, not angry. Anyway, what are friends for if they are not honest, right? Nevertheless, thank you for visiting my blog and thank you again for leaving your comments here. You guys are precious to me, including my family of course!! Till then, BYE!!!

Why should we care for our parents ?

Why should we care for our parents ?
why ?? We should care for them because they have delivered us into this world,
they brought us up from tiny baby until now... They have provided
us with food, lodging, money and many more which is countless.
This shows us their agape love towards us. Without them we are hopeless and aimless.
Our parents are important to us, they are always by our side when we need them, when we are sick and in trouble.
They provide us with education, guiding us in our journey life and always give the best to us.
Sometimes parents will be nagging or scolding us,

probably, at that moment of time our anger may make us hate them or utter unnecessary remarks on them.

We might think that our parents did not love us anymore.

It's totally wrong!!!

Do you know why???

They scolded us is because they love us,

they just want us to be success in our lives

and be the best of all.
Actually, do you ever think about how are we going to repay
our parents for their hard work?
Yes, I do. I will study hard for my exam, be a good girl, listen to them,
obey them and try to do whatever pleases them because
my love for them is so big that I am willing to do whatever they say.
They have also sacrifice themselves for us, then why can't we honor them with love.
for their sacrifices all this years ???
They had work hard to support us in whatever way that they
can. So, I think from now on we should start studying hard to fulfill their
dreams and wishes all this years. Let's do this as a payback for their sacrifice for us.
Besides, we can also improve in our studies and achieve our ambition while we were
still young, don't wait until we have grown up !!! Since our parents take care
of us while we are still young, we can also take care of them when we are over 18 years old.
That is when we can find our own job...... we can treat them like they have treated us when we
are young... but in future we can treat them like our best friends whom we can talk to and be comfort with.
That's all for today.... See you soon when I start to blog again. And also one
more most important thing is don't forget to leave some comments. BYE !!

To my parents,

Forever thanks to both of you for bringing me into this beautiful world that God has created. I promise you to study hard, work hard and to achieve my goal, so that you may be proud of us. Daddy and mummy, I love both of you as you are my all in all. I am very blessed to have a parent who loves and care for us which I will always remember to be thankful and grateful for every things you have provided us. Daddy and mummy, you are my life and I loves you very very much deep in my heart forever and ever. May God bless both of you with prosperity, joy, peace, happiness and longevity.

Million Kisses
Love,
Amelia Chan

A letter to the character

Dear Caring Tree,

I have heard about all the good deeds that you do in the story. I felt pity for you because all the things that you do, the boy did not even appreciate it. The boy only come and visit you when he has trouble. Then, after you had given him everything that he ask, he will dissapear for a month. You keep providing him his needs even though he does not care for you. This remember me about my parents, from the day I was born they provided me with food, water and everything that I ask. Sometimes we tend to forget what our parents has sacrifies for us, that's what make our parents sad =( You were just like that. You have given him all that you have, at last when you have nothing more to give him and when he has grown old.... He finally get to rest under you. From this story, we must learn to appreciate and be thankful to our parents while they are still here. Dun regret when they are not here anymore it is useless. It is also too late !!!

A Book Review

Title : The Caring Tree
Author : Sheikh Hafsan Seylan Abad
Illustrator : Raihan Munif Bahasuan
Pubisher : Abad Ceria Enterprise

This story is about a boy who loves to play around a huge tree everyday. He will climb to the tree top, eat the fruits and take a nap under the shadow. He loves the tree very much and the tree loves to play with him.
Time goes by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer plays with the tree everyday. He tells the tree that he is not a kid anymore and he does not play with trees.
He only comes to visit the tree when he has trouble. The tree is left alone and sad on its own all this while.
The part that I like the most is the ending. It talks about the kid that has grown old and felts tired and weak to go sailing anymore, and at last the tree is glad and smiled with tears.
From this story, I learnt that we must be grateful and thankful to our parents for what we have. Sometimes, we forget that our doing hurts. Let's learn to be grateful before it's too late !
