For that, he used an Excel spreadsheet and U$$2 billions dollars in investment, taken from his company. In his own words: " My focus is meet targets. On one hand, travelling is fun. On the other hand, a TO-DO list".  In 2004, he turned up on Guiness World Book

            We, Vietnamese, have been celebratory days (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2013). Because the celebration of this year falls on Tuesday and the sequential day is the Labor Day, therefore; we have an occasion that is much longer than usual. It is about 5 days from last Saturday to Wednesday of this week. Some of companies still force their staff to work on Monday, though. We have raised the national flag of Vietnam everywhere these days for celebrating.

So soon you leave us

2346570781?profile=originalDear Readers,

I am still shocked when I remember some one who lead thousands followers  in my country. He is  Ustad Jefri  Albuchari  who is popular called " Uje". He passed away  thee days ago by motorcycle on  the road in south Jakarta area.

My Childhood Games

This blog was written because my friend Asmaa requested me to explain the two childhood games that I used to play. These two games were mentioned in her "comment" box of her blog Remember Your Childhood

The first game was "snake and ladder". It was a board game. My siblings and I used to play this board game at night before our bedtime. We used to squabble and cheat each other while playing this game. Sometimes, my parents were so fed up with us for bickering while we were playing that we were ba

Thank you for taking time to comment on my photo of bathing with elephants.

As far as I am aware all animals "Can" swim except for humans.

We must learn where as animals do it naturally.    Sometimes, even after learning how to we still cannot.

My children started to learn "how" when they were 3 months of age.     When a young baby is taken under water they automatically climb up for the surface.

Perhaps it is when we become older and learn "fear" that we then decide we are not able to swim.

Please n

The world is divided into 7 continents, which comprises: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia ( from largest in size to smallest). You also know several different ways of distinguishing the continents according to distinct subregions such as the six-continent, the five-continent or the four-continent model.

Practicing English Online

Gone are  the days when it was difficult for the non native speaker to get good without a good background   where one  could  acquire  this language: Good teacher ,  good  books and  the circle of friends and acquaintances  who spoke  good English 

In my day we did not have the computer (as an addition )to assist to acquire a language .  We had  good teachers and the environment  was  such we spoke English :at home  at school at work and at play and  not forgetiiing  we read a lot .

 Hi everyone, in one more weekly blog post I will share with you a news, which I was so pleased  for its benefic-purpose for our so damaged natural environment    - including mainly there, all the worlwide oceans - It is the ray-robot designed by 19-year-old dutch engineering student Boyan Slat, awarded for the best technical drawing of 2012 by Delft Technology University - The Netherlands. For me, a brilliant young inventor with a so privileged mind, amid so catastrophic forethoughts about our

Throughout this blog I would like to share with you some tips that I have been learned and also I have got a lot of benefits from it and hope it would be useful for you too.

Using English is much more effective than studying English. Think about it. How do children learn English?  Have you ever seen a 2-year-old studying grammar rules? Have you ever seen a 3-year-old sit down and review vocabulary flashcards? No, of course not. If you have children or have spent time with children, you know that

Mask by, Potsim And Pikachu

I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me,
So I wore a mask that always smiled;
To hide my feelings behind a lie.

Before long, I had many friends;
With my mask, I was one of them.
But deep inside, I still felt empty,
Like I was missing a part of me.

Nobody could hear my cries at night
For I designed my mask to hide the lies.
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling
For I designed my mask to be laughing.

Behind all the smiles were the tears
And behind all the comfort were the fears.
Ever

Hey Guys

I was reading an interesting article just now, and I was laughing so hard that I think I have to share this with you guys.

This is about some spelling errors and poor use of English which can result in really big embarrassment and sound rude in some cases. I have to apologise well in advance if some of you found it a bit crude, but you have to admit that maybe these kinds of mistakes we made in our daily lives and we did not realised them. 

I have no affiliation with the websites linked in

         Hello everyone,

I want to thank my two dearest friends Setar and Noas who encouraged me to write this blog.

                                                           So, Thanks a lot 

    Observing some conversations in the Main Room for the last few days led me to write this tricky issue. What I noticed recently is the bigotry that had been rampant among some members. What's bigotry some of you may ask.

  Bigotry (/ˈbigətrē/)

 Noun : Bigoted attitudes; intolerance toward those who hold
