04. Do you think money and what you own makes a person important?(09/29/09)

I think money and what we own do not make us important. In my opinion, I think our value is the most important thing for us as a human being. For example, money and what we own is just the assets that we own, they may not last forever in our life. On the other hand, value that we have will follow us whenever and wherever we go. It shows our personality in the society. A person with good value is always respected by others, and this person may be very poor. In the opposite way, a person with lots of assets but he or she does not have a good value, other people will obey or even hate him or her.

03. How would you describe the average the person in your country and what he or she believes?(09/22/09)

Most of the citizen in Malaysia are Malay, and follow by Chinese and Indian. Malaysia is an Islamic country while all Malays are Muslim. They were Muslim from the day they were born. They have no right to choose which religion to follow but only Allah. Most of the Chinese in Malaysia are Buddhist, and they believe in Amitabha and Kwan-yin. Besides that, some of the Chinese are believe in Allah, God or other spirit. Due to Malaysia is a multicultural country, there are many ethnic groups; therefore, in Malaysia, there are many religion and many believes. In this case, Muslims are the most percentage, and they are followed by Buddhist and others. On the other hand, there are some Malaysians don’t believe in any spirits but themselves. They believe in their own strength.

01. Difference between UWEC students and students in my country(09/08/09)

After my first week at UWEC, I found that all the students here like to go for a party. They always held a lot of party which we can meet with many new friends. In my country, students will go for classes and tuitions. They don’t attend party too often, and they have to pay for the food and the activities. In the other hand, I found that students at UWEC can always attend parties for free.

Besides that, I realized that all the students at UWEC are very friendly. They will smile to a person who they don’t really know, but in my country, this environment wouldn’t happen. All the Malaysian wouldn’t smile to a person they don’t know. They will just talk to their friends but not a stranger.

On top of that, I found that students at UWEC enjoy a lot of sports. They play a lot of games and sports especially outdoor sports. Students in Malaysia don’t experience four seasons a year, as there is just summer for whole year. So, I think this is the main reason why Malaysian students seldom play outdoor games or sports.
