realised the importan!e of that day % seein# &r Hun#" the trainer" for the first

time in her life" and startin# her trainin# for the !ompetition for the disaled 5

from all o'er the !ountry.

2 Khoa sat up" tryin# to keep her alan!e on oth her le# stumps. It was

diffi!ult e!ause the ri#ht one was a little lon#er than the left one. Deftly"

she swun# herself onto the wheel!hair and ui!kly mo'ed to the other end

of the room she used as a kit!hen. Throu#h one of the many small holes in 1

the that!hed roof" she !ould see a twinklin# star. It was like the rou#ht smile

of a friend in her lonely life. It was her hait to smile a!k at the star e'ery

1 Ten years a#o" I led a fast-pa!ed life. I was an a!!ount mana#er for a top

tradin# !ompany" puttin# in at least 12 hours a day at the offi!e. 7or three

!onse!uti'e years" my team had raked in the hi#hest profit and I had re!ei'ed

numerous awards. ife was e3!itin# and I was fortunate to ha'e hired help at home.

ittle did I know that I would lose it all in the ne3t few months. 5

2 It happened after a usiness trip to Bhina. I de'eloped a persistent a!k

pain and a low #rade fe'er at ni#ht. I thou#ht I was o'erworked and de!ided to

take some painkillers. 0hen I told my husand aout it" he said I proaly needed

a holiday. He promptly ooked a holiday for us oth to @ali the ne3t day. In @ali"

thin#s #ot worse" espe!ially at ni#ht. I had ni#ht sweats and I e#an !ou#hin#. 1

I was so e3hausted that I !ut short the holiday and flew home.

* The ne3t day" I !ould hardly #et out of ed. &y family do!tor ad'ised me

to take an 3-ray. To my utter dismay" the -rays re'ealed that I had tuer!ulosisE

He put me on a re#imen of 2 talets a day" !ontainin# the usual dru#s to fi#ht T@.

I soon felt etter and e'erythin# was a!k to normal. Howe'er" when I returned 15

from my trip to $in#apore" I had de'eloped a persistent !ou#h a#ain.

4 This time" I de!ided to make an appointment with my friend" Dr 8Flin"

left lun#" !aused y multidru# resistant strain. &r T@ was definitely still around.

@y this time" my wei#ht had dropped to 4 kilos. I !ould hardly eat anythin# as the 2

powerful dru#s made me si!k. I was warned that the treatment would !ause

nausea" heart palpitations and oint pains. It mi#ht also lead to li'er prolems and

lindness. I did not hesitate" as I did not ha'e any !hoi!e. I !ould hardly reathe

and a simple !on'ersation was almost impossile.

5 In the meantime" I had a heart-to-heart talk with my oss" Gn!ik aFman" 25

and we de!ided that I should hand o'er my team to my assistant while I

re!uperate. He was 'ery understandin# and kind whi!h made it e'en more

diffi!ult for me. I was used to fi#htin# my way up and we always had heated

ar#uments aout our proe!ts. $eein# his sympathy and kindness made me

refle!t upon the seriousness of my !ondition. I told him that I wanted to take *

no-pay lea'e and he assured me that the o would always e there waitin# for

me. I was the first time he saw me !ry.

I e#an to think aout my o and my a!!omplishments. I spent a total

of four months in ed. Durin# that time" my family and friends !ould not

'isit me for fear of infe!tion. I !ontemplated my future" if I had one. I wanted *5

to die at one points as I had ne'er felt so hopeless. I was slowly losin# the

attle. Then" my husand ou#ht a ournal for me and I e#an writin# a#ain.

It was somethin# that I had always wanted to do ut did not ha'e time. I

#uessed he must ha'e seen the emptiness in my eyes and he desperately

wanted to help. ne ni#ht" when I wanted to #o to the toilet" I heard him 4

!ryin# in the study room. It was then that I resol'ed to #et well. I realised

that I had put him throu#h so mu!h and he had ne'er on!e !omplained to

me aout the household. 0hen I was etter" my !hildren 'isited me. I

missed them more than I realised. 8 week later" I e#an paintin# a#ain" a

weeks to li'e. &y dri'e and will e#an to return. I felt etter ut dared not

elie'e the first ne#ati'e test results that !ome a!k. I had een there efore.

7inally" after * harrowin# months" I was de!lared free of T. Howe'er" the

disease had taken its toll on me. It had destroyed 25 per!ent of my left lun#.

Ga!h day" for the ne3t si3 months" I still had to !ontinue takin# the medi!ine 5

to a'oid any relapse.

6 7inally" a year later" I was pronoun!ed !ured. I was finally ale to #o a!k

to work. 8 sea of new fa!es #reeted me on that day. I felt inse!ure ut happy

to e a!k. Then" Gn!ik aFman and my team were waitin# in my room for me.

I was o'er enoyed that they had maintained the room for me. I !ried tears 55

of oy as I hu##ed my team memers.

= 8lthou#h I feel weak and I am !onstantly on antiioti!s" I am enoyin# life

a#ain. I am thankful for the reak that the disease #a'e me as it had tau#ht

me life+s lessons. I learnt to appre!iate my family and life. I learnt that it is

all ri#ht to lean a!k and let others #et ahead of me. I learnt that material

wealth is nothin# !ompared to health lo'e and life.

0hile it>s normal to e3perien!e an o!!asional ad ni#ht of sleep" if your

sleep prolems e!ome !hroni!" it>s time to do somethin# aout them. a!k of

sleep interferes with immune fun!tion and in!reases your risk of insulin

resistan!e. Then there are the dan#ers of tryin# to #et throu#h the day when you

are o'ertired e!ause of your sleep-depri'ed state. This is ad" espe!ially if you

ha'e to dri'e.

Parious health issues may !ontriute to sleep prolems" in!ludin#

menopause" depression" and ust aout any !ondition that !auses pain. ther

!ulprits in!lude restless le#s syndrome and sleep apnea" in whi!h you sli#htly

awaken doFens of times a ni#ht e!ause your reathin# stops.

ust as important as the aility to fall asleep and stay asleep is the aility

to !y!le in an orderly fashion throu#h the fi'e sta#es of sleep se'eral times a

ni#ht. Bhildren" adoles!ents and teena#ers need to #et the re!ommended = hours

of sleep as this is !riti!al to their !ell #rowth and repair. If somethin# interrupts the

pro#ression of these sleep sta#es" you won>t feel well rested and your mood and

/ou must rememer to a'oid al!ohol" espe!ially efore edtime. 8lthou#h

many people think a #lass of wine efore ed !an help with insomnia" the

you fall asleep. Howe'er" it>s often the !ulprit ehind middle-of-the-ni#ht

awakenin#s as your ody e3perien!es al!ohol withdrawal. 8s soon as it wears off"

you will aruptly awaken and it will e harder than e'er to fall asleep. It also

interferes with your sleep !y!le" so e'en if you do sleep throu#h the ni#ht" you>ll

smoke will ha'e a harder time tryin# to #et to sleep. If you>re still smokin#" try not

to smoke for at least two hours efore edtime. ne way to astain from smokin#

is to rush your teeth so you won>t e tempted to smoke for the remainder of the

mena!e" supermarkets need to step up se!urity measures.

To e#in with" the supermarkets should install !ameras at strate#i! pla!es.

This will help the sur'eillan!e of diffi!ult to see pla!es. 8lso" it will e only fair to

put up a noti!e informin# !ustomers that the supermarket is under !amera

sur'eillan!e. The mere noti!e will deter !ustomers from shopliftin# for fear of

ein# !aptured on !amera. This will also a!t as e'iden!e. 8lso" the seriousness of

the !rime" the arrests and !ourt pro!eedin#s must e puli!ised. Hopefully" this

will deter other !riminals.

In addition" the supermarkets should in!rease the numer of se!urity

#uards that they employ. These se!urity #uards are to patrol ea!h floor and ea!h

department in the supermarket. The mere e3isten!e of the se!urity #uards will

ward off any intentions of shopliftin#. The se!urity #uards should e alert and ale

to distin#uish suspi!ious !hara!ters and follow them. 0ith se!urity #uards

reathin# down their ne!ks" the idea of shopliftin# !an e erased from their minds.

8nother effe!ti'e way of dwindlin# down the numer of shoplifters is y

annin# shoppers from rin#in# in a#s espe!ially tote a#s. The !ustomers

should only e allowed to rin# in their handa#s or purses. This will definitely

redu!e the numer of shopliftin# !ases as shoplifters ha'e no pla!e to hide their

stolen items. In fa!t" a#s" espe!ially tote a#s" are not ne!essary as shoppers

are pro'ided with a#s to put in their shopped items.

To further ti#hten se!urity" irremo'ale plasti! ands should e used to

seal the shoppin# a#s to further dis!oura#e shopliftin#. 8s the supermarkets

ha'e many departments" they should pay for their #oods at ea!h department. This

seal is not easily opened y shoppers. To further a'oid shopliftin#" se!urity #uards

should e pla!ed at e3it doors to ensure that the seals ha'e not een tampered

with. 8ny suspi!ion should e dealt with dis!reetly. The !on!erned shoppers !an

e es!orted to a se!luded room where a thorou#h !he!k !an e !ondu!ted to

ensure there are no stolen items.

=

7inally" ea!h item must e pla!ed with se!urity ta#s. The ta#s are remo'ed

on!e the !ustomer has paid for the item. Howe'er" if the item has een shoplifted"

it will e dete!ted at the e3it throu#h a monitorin# system pla!ed at the e3it. Ga!h

time an unpaid item passes throu#h the system" it will tri##er an alarm. The

shopper is then es!orted to a room where the !ontents of the a# and e'en the

shopper himself will e sue!ted to a thorou#h !he!k. 8s a matter of fa!t" the

mere e3isten!e of the monitorin# system is a deterrent to shoplifters as they do

not want to e emarrassed as the alarm #oes off. This is e!ause the alarm

indi!ates the possiility of shopliftin#.

Hopefully" with these measures" the numer of shopliftin# !ases will

dwindle. These measures may in!ur a lot of e3penses. ,e'ertheless" in the lon#

run" it will pro'e to e enefi!ial to the supermarkets.

/et" it is not easy to mould a !hild or a nation>s eha'iour. &any fa!tors !ome to

play where #ood eha'iour is !on!erned.

The in!ul!ation of #ood eha'iour e#ins at home. 8 !hild spends most of his

!hildhood and teena#e life at home. Hen!e" the home and its surroundin#s are

the fo!al points for in!ul!atin# #ood eha'iour. 8 !hild is physi!ally" emotionally

and finan!ially dependent on hisQher family. 8lso" the !hild looks up to his parents

and silin#s as role models. If the family upholds #ood 'alues" it is only natural

that the !hild will emulate these #ood 'alues. ikewise" if the parents and silin#s

are at lo##erheads all the time" the !hild will #row up to e uarrelsome and find it

diffi!ult to #et alon# with the norms of so!iety. Hen!e" the family holds the

is the s!hool. 8s a !hild #rows up" the s!hool and its surroundin#s form his

the s!hool plays an eually important role in in!ul!atin# #ood eha'iour.

Cndoutledly" reli#ion does play a 'ital role in in!ul!atin# #ood eha'iour.

G'ery reli#ion tea!hes its followers to in!ul!ate #ood eha'iour and aide y the

norms of the reli#ion. It emphasiFes on 'irtues" nole deeds and toleran!e. 8

#od-fearin# person will pra!ti!e #ood eha'iour as heQshe does not want to

!ommit a sin !ons!iously. Bonseuently" he or she will in!ul!ate #ood eha'iour"

either intrinsi!ally or e3trinsi!ally. I am sure that we a#ree that reli#ion is the

#uide that enli#htens our ourney in this world. Therefore" reli#ion moulds a !hild

with 'irtues and ad'ises them to repel a#ainst worldly sins. In !ontrast" a !hild

who does not ha'e a #ood reli#ious uprin#in# does not fear Jod. $o" he or she

is not afraid of Jod. They throw !aution to the wind as they steal" ro" rape or

e'en murder a person. Thus" it is 'ital to in!ul!ate reli#ious 'alues in a !hild to

ensure that he or she #rows up with #ood eha'iour.

7inally" the so!io-e!onomi! !onditions of a !ountry may ha'e an ad'erse effe!t

on its nation" espe!ially the youn# and impressionale teena#ers. This is

espe!ially so when the flow of ne#ati'e !ulture is eminent. Pandalism" loiterin#"

ullyin# and pre-marital se3 are ne#ati'e influen!es that aound in our !ountry.

This is further emphasiFed with the influ3 of immi#rants who flood our !ountry in

sear!h of a etter life. 8s they ha'e endured e3treme hardship and sufferin#s"

they are old and darin# and are unafraid of the !onseuen!es. ,aturally" with

the rise of the numer of le#al and ille#al immi#rants" so!ial prolems e!ome

!omple3 and una'oidale. oeries" rapes and murders adorn our lo!al

newspapers. These !rimes are now part and par!el of our daily li'es. Cltimately"

these ne#ati'e eha'iours will ru off on the !itiFens of our !ountry. Hen!e" the

Gn#lish an#ua#e is a popular lin#ua fran!a in today>s world. It has een #i'en

the status of the international lan#ua#e as it is ale to !ut a!ross #eo#raphi!al

oundaries as well as ra!ial and lan#ua#e arriers. Today>s #loal !ommunity has

!ome to a!!ept the Gn#lish an#ua#e as not only the international lan#ua#e ut the

lan#ua#e of usiness and trade as well as the lan#ua#e of s!ien!e and te!hnolo#y.

/et" sadly" the le'el of Gn#lish in &alaysia is droppin# drasti!ally to a le'el where

it is now at a !riti!al sta#e. There are two main !ontriutin# fa!tors why the le'el of

Gn#lish is on its way down. 7irstly" the la!k of use of the lan#ua#e and se!ondly"

limited opportunities for !ommuni!ation.

8fter re!o#niFin# the fa!tors" we should now take the ull y its horns. &alaysian

students are shy and are afraid of makin# mistakes. They are ashamed of ein# the

runt of people>s okes. Hen!e" they would rather not speak and keep uiet.

Howe'er" this is not a positi'e attitude in impro'in# any lan#ua#e for that matter.

The only way to impro'e one>s !ommand and mastery of the lan#ua#e is y usin#

the lan#ua#e.

Hen!e" the only way to impro'e the Gn#lish an#ua#e is y enalin# the

students to use the lan#ua#e throu#h fun ways shows" ha'in# sin#in# !ompetitions

and e'en the no'i!e lan#ua#e #ames.

8nimated shows like L7indin# ,emoM" L&ada#as!arM and Lilo and $tit!hM interest

students. $o" they wat!h the mo'ies willin#ly. Hen!e" there is an intrinsi! moti'ation

to wat!h these mo'ies as they are personally interested in them. 8s we all know" we

!an ne'er for!e a student to learn unless he or she is willin# to do so. $in!e they

are interested" they wat!h the mo'ies for 1V to 2 hours. Indire!tly" they are listenin#

to 1V hours to 2 hours of Gn#lish an#ua#e.

In addition" sin#in# !ompetitions !an e or#aniFed where students are

en!oura#ed to sin# in Gn#lish. $tudents espe!ially adoles!ents are more interested

in son#s than te3t ooks. This is !learly shown 'ia the Disney mo'ie LHi#h $!hool

&usi!alM. The mo'ie whi!h has a sin# alon# session has 'ery hi#h ratin#s from

'iewers all o'er the world. $imply e!ause of the melodious son#s and the

interestin# plot" the students wat!h the mo'ies whi!h is spoken entirely in Gn#lish.

n!e a#ain" students are intrinsi!ally moti'ated to sin# in Gn#lish. Hen!e" we

should !apitaliFe talentime or karaoke !ompetitions where students ha'e to sin# in
