Life which full of fun and no problem to think. Peter pan are a good leader who never afraid to fight anything especially the pirates. In this story, friendship are the most important key, it like peter pan  and tinker bell. These are the reasons that they are my list of favorite fairytales. It showed me these beautiful values and its made me who I’m now. A happy go lucky person and a good loving character.

In the movie Twilight tells the love triangle between teenage girl, vampire and werewolf. Bella, a normal teenage girl who has caught the attention of Edward Cullen, a vampire that great. But love is not pleased with Jacob Black, a werewolf who is very well-built, strong and very charming. However, a vampire and a werewolf clan is not aligned. so also in the film Underworld, vampire and werewolf clan is not aligned, with a slightly different element of romance with Twilight. A love between vampire and werewolf movie Underworld incorporated into the narrative.

Both the film above shows how, these tribes fight to defend their tribe. There are values ​​that can be taken from both the mythological movie Twilight and Underworld. First, we must protect and defend the tribe and our descendants. The second, the story of a romance between the different factions can be seen as an interesting situation. They fight for their love for their true love despite many obstacles. The third, avoid prejudice feelings for each other and trust each other.

baby dumping =)



child is a precious and lovely gift from Allah s.w.t to us. It is our job to care and love them. But, what happen in our country nowadays, the baby is thrown everywhere, in the dustbin, in the alley, the dog found the baby and many more without feeling any guilty or responsible. According to the Bukit Aman Police Headquarters, statistics shows that, they found a total of 580 babies were dumped between a year 2000-2006. The Headquarter of Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) defines baby dumping as the acts leaving away the babies at any place without taking care of the babies. Most of the cases happened because of the unwanted pregnancies by the teenagers and another reason is poverty.


This care arise because of the unwanted pregnancies by the women, because of the pressured that they feel about the status of the child in their womb, and they think that they are not ready yet to hold the responsibilities as a parent. This dumping baby issues had been more serious from day to day although the media had report a lot about this. The causes of this cases in Malaysia is by the poor parenting control and lack in sex education.
Parent plays an important role in a family as they are the ones who teach the children to become good in manners and behavior. Parents should guides and give children and advise in whatever they do. Besides that, it is their job to control their kids social life. But, what happens nowadays, parent always busy with their work and neglect their responsible to the kids. They assume that the children can take care of themselves. Lack of parent guidance from young results in uncontrolled social life. Conflicts in family also one of the reason. This is because, young teenagers will find friends from opposite sex to overcome their stress therefore, results in proximity and lastly unwanted pregnancies.

Lack of sex education is also one of the reason that lead to baby dumping. Most of the parents feel uncomfortable or shy when it comes to talk about sex. They assume that, their children will know everything when they became adult. They forgot that, childhood education is important. They failed to give clear explanation and give less response when the child ask them. At school, the teachers think that it is not their job to teach sex education to student. They also give the same excuse, feel shy and uncomfortable to talk. The children or the student obtain less information about sex. Therefore, when they grow up, they are curious about their opposite sex gender and they want to try having sex with them without using any protection such as condoms.
