Oh Newspaper, why do I read you?.. :D

To be honest guys, I never liked reading newspapers. I still do read every now and then but I only read if the lead of the story is interesting. I got this reading habit from my dad and the only difference is that I don't read the whole newspaper while he does. My dad is the kinda person who needs to read the newspaper every single day, and till now he still reads the newspaper every day without fail. Anyway, the only column that I read everyday without fail is the Horoscope. It's like a everyday thing for me. I have to read it or else I can't move on with my day. The reason why I enjoy reading the Horoscope is because sometimes it brings meanings and it even shows unbelievable relation. But I know that sometimes the horoscope is not true because things don't go according to it always. As a media student, I'm well aware of the fact that it is not 100% true, but I still do read it. Why? It's simply because of the words and terms the writer uses. It attracts and boosts up the readers. So when the readers read it, they tend to believe it.

Theory again.. !

Hey there readers..! This post is gonna be about Social Learning Theory, one one my favourite theory because 1st, it was easy to understand, like duuuhh, and the other reason why I favour this theory is because I think that Albert Bandura's experiment is one of the most brilliant experiment.

Now Bandura said that people learn from one another via observation, imitation and modelling. He proved this statement by conducting an experiment, which is the Bobo doll experiment. 

This video posted above is an example of Social Learning Theory. The children in this video blindly follow, or better described as imitate their parents simply because they think its a "normal" behaviour. After all they are children, they tend to absorb and learn a lot of things from their parents, doesn't matter good or bad, they just follow. 

I guess to put it in simple words, this Social Learning Theory is all about observing, imitating and behaving things that they adopt from the media or real life. 

That's all for now my fellow readers, addios! :)  

Theories...!!

Nowadays, everyone is depending on the media...Agree? 

You guys might be wondering why am I bringing this thing up. Now you see, I can tell that almost every human being on this earth is depending on the media, from the literate to the illiterate, rich to poor, men to women, everyone depend on the media. 

For instance, the Tohuku tsunami and earthquake hit the eastern Japan so badly. Due to the effect of the natural disaster, the communication system in the whole of Japan was blocked and others were not able to know the exact effect. At that moment, people needed information and they had to depend on the media. This clearly explains why media plays such a vital role and how dependent are we on it.

Salut lecteurs, bonjour.. :)

Delicatessen...A french movie that I didn't get to watch. What a waste!!??!!  I totally regret not watching the movie. I wasn't able to watch it because I was not feeling well. I heard from my classmates that the movie was so much better than Baraka. Literally the whole class was talking about the movie. I felt even worse after hearing their comments on the movie.

So, I went seeking around info's about the movie but unfortunately I couldn't get it. I wanted to download the movie but I didn't really know how to because I'm not a movie person. Since I didn't get the opportunity to watch or even to download the movie, I went on youtube, my last resort.

I got to watch some scenes from the movie. Besides, with the briefing from my friends and the help of youtube, I managed to get the gist of the movie. In simple words the movie is about cross genres. The movie contains more than one genre.

From the scene above I can tell that this movie consists more than one genre. What I understood from this scene is that different people have different lifestyle, routines, mind-set, chores and so on. Besides, I can also tell that this movie has a wicked sense of humor.

This scenes posted above is so funny because it's weirdly tragic how she tries so hard to commit suicide and fails at it. I would say it's one of the best failed attempt of suicide! This scene is so hilarious! LOL

I hope I can stand a chance to watch this movie. By just watching the scenes, I already have a clear picture of what the movie is about. I can also tell that this movie has a wicked sense of humor.

Delicatesssssssssssen :)

My Review..!!

My review on the baby dumping cases in Malaysia

As we all know, giving birth to a newborn and welcoming him/her to this world of ours is the most divine thing that would can ever happen. But, for  moment, take a look back at the cases that has been recently flashing in our country..!! 

New born baby dumped at the toilet bowl

We call ourselves well educated and super civilized and that we belong to a developed nation. But I don't see any of these qualities when it comes to the awful lot of baby dumping cases. 

According to reliable sources, one baby is dumped every week. Why does this happen? Why do people dump their babies?? Is it because of the family background of the so called 'parents'?? Is it because of poverty?? Is it because of lack of sex education?? 

Mostly, teenagers always seem to be involved in situations like this. They usually give birth and just dump their baby in the rubbish bin. Obviously, those who dump babies do so out of desperation and are often scared young girls. 

In my opinion, situations and cases like these should be avoided. The government should come up with prevention methods, sex education and also responding to unwanted pregnancy. 

Tabooo-hooooooo..!!!

My all time favourite board game, Taboooooooooooo :)

Hey there readers!! I'm pretty sure you guys know what "Taboo" is, for those who don't know please kindly search at Google, it has all the answers. Now speaking of Taboo, earlier this week, my Media Appreciation lecturer came to the class with this board game in his hands. He then held it up and said 'we are going to play this game today'. I was pretty shocked. He always comes up with something new. He tells us things we don't know. So at that moment, I was just waiting for him to surprise us. He then wrote this term at the whiteboard "Thought Process". Then I knew where this was going.

Now, let me share with you guys my experience relating to the game. Back then, whenever we had family gathering, my cousins and I use to play this game. I actually hated this game so badly because it made me feel stupid that time. I always fail to describe the word which I pick, because I use to stammer a lot, so by the time I describe the word, I'll be out of time. Not even once I could play this game right. My cousins use to make fun of me all the time. I use to feel very jealous of them, because they always end up guessing right and also describing the word correctly.

So then, what I did, each day, after I came back from school, I stand in front of the mirror and imagine the person in the mirror is someone else. Then I would just pick any book, paper, or any reading material and I would begin reading. I would picture myself as if I'm on the stage giving a speech. As days passed, I slowly stopped stammering. I still do stammer when I get nervous, but not as bad as last time.

The reason why I wanted to stop stammering is simply because I wanted to prove my cousins that I can play this game. There were 2 things I realised when I stopped stammering, I could think faster and whatever message my brains interpreted I could get it out from mouth faster with the flow.

In a nutshell, I would like to say that this game was ONE of the reason why I could speak clearly today without stammering and it also improved my 'thought process'.

That's all for now..Have a great day ahead peepz!! CHEERS!!

Genre paves a way to infinite...

What does Genre mean to me?

Genre paves a way to infinite choices. It even plays a vital role in determining a person's desire. Sometimes when we meet new people, we tend to get so eager to find out what kind of person he/she is. Now this is where genre pops in. When you start talking to this new person whom you've just met, in the first few minutes itself you can already determine this person likes and dislikes. How? Thanks to "Genre"!

In my case, Genre has helped me to find and bring out the interest that I've had for reading books. My Genre in books is Romance. I started reading romance books when I was in middle school, Form 3. I use to hate reading books and when I started reading these romance books, I couldn't fathom myself. Each time I buy a book and read, I can't stop flipping the pages and I end up finishing the whole book in a day or two. I use to think, I can finish up reading a romance book which contains about 500 pages in a day or two, but I cannot read more than 5 pages of my school text book. This clearly shows how Genre plays a vital role in each and every individual. 

My collection of Romance books :)

I like reading romance books because it brings me to a whole different world. When I read, I tend to imagine and put myself in the picture. Reading romance books is the tool that I use to release my stress and it never fails to help me do it! :-)
