Well, what can i say. Man Utd become champion again, and this time it is a Carling Cup. A match ended in a 0-0 draw after 120 minutes, resulted in a penalty kick in which the score ended Man Utd managed to convert 4 kicks and Spurs just managed to score a solitary goal through Corluca. The match was not as great as other Man Utd fans were expected, most probably due to the line up fielded by Sir Alex which comprised mostly of the second choice players, like Welbeck and Gibson. Nevertheles, the boys did it and and we are still running for the quadraple this year. The team are still running for the league title (7 points ahead of Chelsea), Champions League (home advantage against Inter Milan next week) and FA Cup (in the Quater Finals stage against Fulham)Fingers crossed..Glory,Glory Man Utd.

I always like to do alternative endings in my class. It’s something that can challenge my students’ creativities besides letting them discuss and show their capabilities to produce their own masterpiece. What I normally do is, I will ask my students to sit in small groups and try to come out with an alternative ending of certain stories that we have discussed earlier. In my case, since I teach form 5 students, I like to do alternative endings on the short stories like The Lotus Eater and even The Necklace. And sometimes, I would also ask them to think their own version of The Pearl, on how it supposed to end.
Talking about The Pearl, most of my students, past and present do not really like its ending. They always think that Kino and his family deserved something much better after all that they have gone through. Some of them suggested Kino not to throw away the pearl, instead keeping it and start a new life, and many more versions. Yesterday, I did this alternative ending activity in one of my form5 classes, and I promised to publish the best version in my blog. So the group winner is comprised of Nur Amalina, Rayhana, Mastika, Suhaina and Fiona Farhain from 5 Nilam. This is their version of alternative ending to The Pearl which starts after Kino stopped Juana from throwing away the pearl.
Kino hits Juana’s face and kicks her in the side because Juana wants to throw away the pearl. Later, Juana managed to take the pearl away from Kino after he was unconscious being attacked by an unknown attacker. Juana makes up her mind. She brings Coyotito and the pearl with her. They went to the sea by Kino’s only canoe and in the middle of the sea; Juana throws away the pearl far from her sight.
After regaining his consciousness, Kino tries to find Juana and his son but to no avail. He even asks for help from his brother, Juan Tomas to search for his missing wife and son.
Juana and Coyotito were somewhere in the middle of the sea when suddenly she realizes that she does not really know where she should go. This is the first time in her life that she is ever miles apart from her husband. After makes up her mind, she then decides to return back to her husband because she feels really sorry for her action.
Unfortunately, before she even starts her journey back, heavy rains fall down and Juana finds it difficult to steer her canoe and before she is able to stabilize the canoe, Coyotito suddenly fell into the sea. Juana quickly jumps to save her baby. However, she could not find him. Out of a sudden, a big wave hits Juana and makes her unconscious.
It has been two days the last time Kino sees Juana. He feels very lonely and the loneliness has made him a different man. He becomes quiet and likes to sit alone. He even does not take his food and locks himself in his house. On the third day, Juan Tomas finds the dead body of Kino in his room clutching the shirt of Coyotito. At the very same day, the villagers find the body of Juana and Coyotito at the shore, lying closed to each other.

It was a worth game to watch last nite..eventhough i had to go to school early in the morning but it was a worth waiting game at 12 am when you could see your favourite team Man Utd beat the so called Big 4, Chelsea. It was a well deserved win where Man Utd can easily score 4-5 goals. We still have two games in hand and hopefully by the end of the month we will be at the top of the league again. My man of the match should go to the ever industrious Park Ji Sung and the ever so reliable and strong Nermanda Vidic..Glory, glory Man Utd..Chelsea who..hua hua hua...

A: I don't have one.
B: Well then, buy one.
A: Can't afford one.
B: I can give you mine if you want.
A: That sounds good.
B: All you need to do is just use some cheese in order to make the mouse come to the trap.
A: I don't have any cheese.
B: Okay then, take a piece of bread and put a bit of oil in it and put it in the trap.
A: I don't have oil.
B: Well, then put only a small piece of bread.
A: I don't have bread.
B: Then what is the mouse doing at your house?!
Fred is 32 years old and he is still single.
One day a friend asked, "Why aren't you married? Can't you find a woman who will be a good wife?"
Fred replied, "Actually, I've found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn't like them."
His friend thinks for a moment and says, "I've got the perfect solution, just find a girl who's just like your mother."
A few months later they meet again and his friend says, "Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?"
With a frown on his face, Fred answers, "Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much."
The friend said, "Then what's the problem?"
Fred replied, "My father doesn't like her."
