My City Connections Reflection

In class we had to present our City Connections Powerpoints. I chose Kuala Lumpur as the city that I call home since I've lived here for 11 years.

Something I think I did well on my project was the information I included. I put in all the facts needed on each topic. Mrs. Narsiman gave us an outline of what kind of information should be on the powerpoint and I think I did a pretty good job on gathering the facts. We had to write about the Enviormental factors, the History, Statistical information and other extra things. For my prospective, I covered all topics and information.

Something I would like to improve on for future presentations and projects would be to be able to be confident. Whenever I get up in front of a class, I start to freak out and get nervous, so I start to fidget and move. Sometimes I memorize what I need to say but look at the board anyways because I don't want to make eye contact with anybody. So in the future I would like to be able to get up in front of people and be confident that I can present information. I know I need to work on presenting because when I spoke to the class about my city, I mover my feet a lot and played with my pockets. I also looked at the board quite a few times. But my goal for next time is to not do any of that!

I learned from my presentation and other's that if you're confident, then everyone else will think you're confident and everything will work out fine. For example, I saw other people so comfortable while they presented and I thought about why I was worried. Silly me to be worried about something so small. I also learned new things about different countries. I never knew so many things that my friends told me. It's really interesting to listen about different countries and their history and cultures.

I think I did well on my performance. I had the facts and presented all of them. I could have done much worse, but I could have also done much better. I could improve my project in many ways. Hope fully I can take my mistake and use them to help me in my next million projects. I can only improve because I have to present for the rest of my life no matter what. It just won't stop!

☺ My New Years Resolutions ☺

What is my first New Years Resolution?
     I have never really made a New Years resolution before and I was sure what it should be. I thought about the resolutions that most people in the world make. Then I tried to see which one might really help me this year. After a while, I thought maybe to get myself organized would be a pretty good start. I do need to get organized and stay organized . . .


     I can actually be quite organized at times, but when I try to get organized, sometimes I can't keep it up. For example, my locker. At the beginning of the day my locker is neat and organized because it's a good way to get through middle school. But by the time school is almost over, my locker is a complete mess! While the day goes on, I get tired of putting things in order after every class. So I want to be able to have my locker in order.


     Another reason why I want to be organized is because I can never find anything anymore! I loose all my personal belongings inside my own house. When I use something, that will probably be the last time I see it before the object disappears to someplace. I really want to be able to put my things in an orderly ways, so that I could find them again! And I also hope I can find the items I "lost".


2nd resolution?
     My second resolution for 2011 would be to get more fit. I honestly don't think I am fat, but I don't think I am fit as in healthy. This is because I don't exercise much when I really enjoy watching TV. And I also don't eat healthy food. I want to be able to stay skinny and be healthy with food habits. I always eat junk food, which will never benefit me in the future.

     Getting fit is actually one of the most made New Years Resolutions along with getting organized. I obviously agree with the top resolutions because mine are within that catagory. What are your new years resolutions?

Where did I go for Christmas Vacation?

     For my vacation I went to Germany to visit my dad's side of the family. My dad left before us, so my mom and I traveled without him.When we finally reached Hamburg after several hours in the plane, There was snow everywhere! I was so excited to play in the snow, but wasn't looking forward to the freezing temperature. But you can't have everything.

     We all had a white Christmas, including my uncle and aunt's new puppy! The family had a deliciouse dinner and exchanged great presents. Everyone was there! My mom, dad, uncle, aunt, grandmother, cousins, and me (I guess the puppy kind of counts). Everyone enjoyed the night and gifts!

     At New Years we bought fireworks and shot them into the sky along with all the other neighbors. And yes it's legal there! It was loud, but so much fun. Everybody had a great New Years and once again everyone was there, at least most of the time. If I were to describe my holiday in Germany with one word I would say "Perfect"!
