I-City

Have you been going to the I-City in Shah Alam? I think the answer is yes for all those that like to take photograph. I had went to there last month for a 1 day trip at Kuala Lumpur. We reached I-City at around 6.30 pm, at that time the light already turned on but since the sky still haven't dark enough, the light seem to be not very outstanding.

Review of The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle ranks 31 out of 41 affordable small cars based on 24 published test drives and reviews of the the Volkswagen Beetle, not the less also based on the analysis of reliability and safety data. Based on the analysis that had been made by 24 published reviews and test drives, the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle ranks 31 out of 41 affordable small cars. The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle from a complete redesign with a Turbo model, a more masculine exterior and better fuel economy ratings than the 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle. 

A 360 Look at the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle

The 2012 Beetle strives to be less feminine than the 2010 Volkswagen New beetle. The exterior is elongated in the front and rear, it doesn't have a flower vase and there is a Turbo Beetle trim with a 2.0- liter turbocharged engine and a spoiler. Most test drivers are glad the 2012 Beetle  is more masculine and appreciate the Turbo model that makes the Beetle super fun for drive. The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is still a beetle, it just received updates that make it more competitive. Thus, reviewers doesn't not worried about whether the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle can become the market hit or not. They are just curious about will Beetle can increase its male following or not. 

 

Pangkor Island

Have you heard about Pangkor Island ? I had went there for a day trip with my family member on 31st August. I think most of the Malaysians had been went to Pangkor Island for holiday because of the nice sea views that are available at there. As we went to Pangkor Island  on 31st August, we started our journey early in the morning because we scared we  will be get caught in the traffic jam. It took about 1 and a half hour to reach the Lumut jetty ...

Behavioral Ecology

Behavioral Ecology is the ways that organisms respond to each other and to particular cues in the environment.

Behavioral Ecology?
"how individual animals interact with other animals, plants and their physical environment to maximize fitness."
-how animals interact with their food resources.
-how they interact with their mates.
-how they interact with other members of their social groups.

Innate behavior (Instinctual behavior)
-referred as a fixed action pattern(stereotypical fashion)

Learned behavior (environmental determined)
-behaviors involve a complex interaction between innate and learned 
  elements.


Mating System refer to the nature of the relationships among males and females during breeding.

There are 3 components:
 a) the number of mates an individual takes
 b) whether the male and female form a pair bond that is remain together for at least one mating.
 c) the duration of the pair bond ( driven by sexual selection and the demography of the species)

Polygyny
"Males mate with more than one female"
- resources are clumped
- temporal distribution of potential mates
- sex ratio

Polyandry
"Females mate with more than one female"
- males provide most of the parental care.
- females defend the resources.
- sex ratio.

Monogamy
"One male mates with one female"
-uniform distribution of resources
-share parental care for the young
males defend resources rather than female
sex ratio.

How to study effectively?

Tips to study effectively during last minute before Examination.

            Hi, Xavier here. Now should be just left about 1 and a half more months for those who  sit for SPM this year. As I know, there should be quite a lot of people that same like me, who like to study in the last minute before the examination. Are you feeling worried because haven finish the syllabus for your exam? Don’t worry, you can follow my tips, I was using them since I was in Form 1….Hahaha….I am still using them although I am now already a university student now.

            Now, I would like to share it with you all:

Tips 1:

Own notes or mind map should be done earlier, if you just left plenty of time, throw away this idea and concentrate on the notes or books that you used frequently. This method helps more in enhancing your memory because you are more familiar with it. This is not well-recommended in usual study manner but when in last minute study it is the most effective way. 

Tips 2:

Repeat a statement that you need to memorize before go to the next statement. Don’t wait after finish reading the whole book then only you repeat reading for the second time. I had tried both of these ways and I found that the 1^st way is more effective in memorizing.

 Tips 3:

I haven finish study yet? How? Don’t panic, don’t burning the midnight oil and force yourself to finish the syllabus. When you just left plenty of time, think of the topics that were hot and have higher percentages coming out in examination. Focus more on them. Don’t use your time in studying the topics that you are not familiar at all, this will take most of your study time, if you are just reading but not understand at all, what for you waste your time?

Tips 4:

Highlight. I think we all are familiar with highlight right? But have you practice it? Don’t worry to let your book to become dirty because of highlight. It is important as you can know where is the main point is.

Tips 5:

Feeling nervous? Put down your book; continue reading doesn’t help at all. It will only make you feel more nervous. Do something you like to relax yourself. For me, I would like to play games. But, control yourself, take 5 to 10 minutes break and you should continue your journey (studying).

tips 6:

Browse through the pass year paper. The questions will definitely not the same, but format are normally more or less the same...When you browse through you will found that they are just repeating, this method is very recommended on Mathematics and Additional Mathematics.  

Hope my tips can help you…^^ Add oil…

What? Grapes plant in Malaysia???!!

           Hey friends, have you pay a visit to Cameron Highlands? I think most of your answer will be yes. But have you pay a visit to the Grapes plantation area that are situated near to the Blue Valley Farm, Tanah Rata, Pahang, Malaysia? Nowadays, Malaysians no need spend a lot of money to travel oversea to see the grapes plants in Taiwan, New Zealand, and many other countries that are famous with their grapes plants. I had visited Cameron Highlands about 3 months ago, I think it is June at that time.
           After reading the news from the newspaper, I plan to pay a visit to this grapes plant farm. This grapes plants farm is owned by the KC Kwang & Son Sdn Bhd. The grapes were so so so big you know? Just not like the usual one that were planted in other places in Malaysia, so small. The person in charge allow me to go inside the plantation area but he told me that the grapes are good to see, not to touch. this is because when we touch the grapes with our fingers, it can spoiled the grapes quality.
           I still remember how excited i was when I step inside the plantation area, there were so so so many of grapes that are waiting to be harvested. they are all big, round, and dark purple in colour. The person in charge also told me that there were only 2 seasons can harvest the grapes. Once in June and the other time will be on Disember. So, if you plan to go for a holiday at Cameron Highlands to see the grapes, you should be alert with the timing because the grapes plant only can be harvested for two times throughout the year. Here is some of the pictures that I taken in the Grapes Farm.

Nice right? Lets plan a visit to Cameron Highlands this coming holiday at Disember...^^
         Other than that, I also pay a visit to FAMA, Cameron Highlands, there are a lot of flora can be found at there, this including strawberry, which was the identity of Cameron Highlands, and many other plants that I forgot their names, they all have scientific names and if you are a teacher, you can plan a trip to there, it will make a good choices because students can learn while enjoying the cool breeze at there...I have some other great places to recommend to you if you are planning to go to Cameron Highland, wish to know?
