Why did I choose these picture? Hmmmm.....

Manchester united football (soccer ball), i pod, electric guitar, Laptop, Cricket bat, book, McLaren shirt, Sudoku booklet, toy Yak

This item is a Manchester united football (soccer ball for some of you).My aunt gave me this football ball in America and me and my cousin played with it everyday. However, I am not including it in my photo for that reason. This item represents me by showing two things about me. One of those things about me is that I like football (soccer). I’m not that good at it but I like the sport. Another thing that this item tells about me is that I support Manchester united. This item also reminds me about the times when I lived in Singapore. Because every day I used to play football (soccer) with my friends. I lived there for about 12 years and I miss it very much.

Another item that tells a lot about me is my i pod.My Mom gave it to me on my 11Th birthday and I was extremely happy. This tells that I like to listen to music. I like to listen to lots of music like rock, R&B, rap and many more genes. I go to concerts sometimes and I enjoy them. I always use my i pod when I go on road trips or go to school (by bus). My i pod also has games that I play when I get bored. It can also be used to go and surf the web when ever I have Internet connection

One item that represents me is my electric guitar. This shows that I play guitar. I got this guitar in the beginning of 6Th grade which was also the time I came to K.L. So this reminds me of the time I've lived in K.L. I also like to play my guitar a lot. I like to play it because it is very fun to play most of the songs I know and sometimes play along with the actual song. It also helps me calm down. Yes, even when I am am playing heavy metal songs, it still calms me down. I also started playing guitar in Singapore so it reminds me of that too. I like to use my amp and make different sounds

I would bring my laptop because its where I can do all my work from and play games, use Facebook, watch movies and do other stuff on it. I got it in the middle of 6Th grade because my Mom and Dad used the computer a lot and I could not complete my work in time. It is also very convenient because it is not that heavy and it can be used for many different reasons. I also use it to talk with my old friends who are overseas. This makes me very happy because I can talk to them whenever I want to if they are online (for Facebook) or if they are not, I could just send them a message.

This item is my cricket bat. I chose my cricket bat because I play cricket and it is one of my favorite sports along with football (soccer). I used to play it a lot in Singapore with my friends. I also used to play in school for the team and with friends but once I moved to K.L there is not much place to play with my brother where we live and not many people play it in school so I have mostly abandoned the sport. But I do play it with my friends when we go back to Singapore.

The next item is a book. It is called Artemis Fowl by Eoin (pronounced Owen) Colfer. It is the first in the Artemis Fowl series. However this book is not just by itself. It is representing all the books I read. Believe it or not, I actually read a lot. I like to read because its like a movie in your head. Except its in much more detail and any time you want, you can stop reading and read it again tomorrow. Movies are also bad for your eyes and most of the time, don't give you the full story.

The 7Th item on my list is a McLaren F1 shirt because I support the McLaren team. My favorite driver is Lewis Hamilton. I have been supporting them for at least 4 years. But I have only watched two Grand Prix and I really enjoyed them both. One was the Singapore night race about two years ago and the other one was here at Sepang.

This item is a Sudoku book and I really enjoy it. Its fun and it is very challenging. It is also good time pass. Sudoku also makes me think more creatively so it makes me smarter. However that book is very hard and I have only done a few of the puzzles and sometimes I have to cheat to get the answers! It also makes me think quicker and I use it whenever I get bored.

The final item on my list is a toy Yak. Right now, you my be surprised at this random object but to me, it is far from that. My brother gave me this Yak about 2 years ago when he went to Mt Everest for a school trip. since he is leaving this year, I decided to put this here because it is definitely an object that I can remember him by.Its like a picture but it is 3D and it brings back memories. I know when he leaves, I will miss him.

The pictures that represent me

these are the picture of my items. The second one is my laptop and I used my web cam to take the pictures so that's why its like that.

My quote

I chose my quote because I feel that it gives everyone hope to become a hero. And in reality, they can. If you say that a hero has to be special then people will lose hope and forget the thought of doing something heroic. I think that my quote shows that all you need is the determination to achieve the goal you set for yourself. I personally think that everyone can be a hero even if they are bad. They can just maybe mend their ways and that itself takes a lot of courage. A hero needs lots of skills but I think that determination is the most important one of all because when you are doing a heroic deed then all odds are against you and you would feel like giving up. Thats when you need determination to drive you on.

I chose the picture above because it shows that he is hanging on for some reason (I dont know why) and this what a hero does.

Matt Harding blogpost

Matt Harding. An inspirational person to us all. weather your Christian or Muslim. weather your from U.S.A or from Afghanistan. You cannot fail to get the message that the world can be one. Like one country instead off all the separate countries we have today. In this Matt Harding's video is like hope. A ray of light in a room of darkness. He has given the world hope. he has shown the world that we CAN be one, we CAN live together in peace. He has promoted it from an idea into a fact. If he can make other random people around the world dance with him without force

then imagine what we all can do if we work together.

This Matt Harding. He was a video game designer until he quit his job. He makes videos of himself dancing badly in different countries. I chose the picture because it shows you clearly who Matt Harding is.

Like Matt, I have traveled the world and have seen how people live in different parts of the world. I know how hard it is to unite all of the world together. But its amazing how a normal guy like me and you can unite the world like this. He makes us realise that its not impossible, its not even hard, if we work together, anything can be done.

The Compliment Guys

The compliment guys are a lot of fun while they are an inspirational idol to everyone. When I read the article I thought that "why cant I do that" what I meant was not to such an extent such as Cameron Brown or Brett Westcott/ the compliment guys, but if I am walking next to a random person how hard is it just to say "hey, nice shoes" or something like that. It may not seem much to you but it makes the other person feel good. Like maybe if they had a bad day, your compliment could have mad that person feel a lot better and brighten their day. This is exactly what the compliment guys have been doing for a long time. They are nice to people and people are nice to them.

These are the compliment guys. Brett Westcott is standing on the left and Cameron Brown is on the right (your left and right). I chose this picture because it clearly shows who the compliment guys are and their sign which they use every time.

Brett is a junior civil engineering student and Cameron is junior business management student. Both go to the Purdue University in west Lafayette, Indiana, U.S.A. I think that in their own way, both of them are heroes because the are doing what is right by making people feel better and they are trying very hard to do keep on doing this becuase they are giving up the time to study. These people making other people smile is a great idea and we should all do it to each other
