How To Become An Ideal Friend

Its not easy becoming a friend or making one because a friend is not a state of mind. Its real and its in your face. A friend is someone who makes your life worth its while a little more than yesterday. While everybody has their own definitions of a "friend", the long and short of it is we all need friends to make our lives better. We at "The Holiday Spot" value our friendship as much as you do and would like to share our ideas of how to become an ideal friend with you, for if wasn't for you we wouldn't be where we are today.

Honesty Is The Best Policy...
In friendship "honesty" is the key word. One should always be honest to his or her friends.
Don't overlook their faults, even if you have none for you are his friend!
Praise them honestly and openly.
Say you're sorry, when you hurt your friend. Don't let them assume it.

Give More Than You Take...
Be there when they need you or you may wind up alone.
Love them unconditionally, that is the only condition. Make them feel special, because aren't we all special?
Never forget them, who want to feel forgotten.

Be Supportive...
Cheer them on, we all need encouragement now and then.
Encourage their dreams and aspiration, Life seems almost meaningless without them.
Your words count, use them wisely.
Use good judgment.
Wish them luck, hopefully good.
Examine your motives before you "help" out.
Just be there when they need you.
Really listen, a friendly ear is a soothing balm.

Forgiveness...
Forgive them for, "To Err is Human", and you just may end up making the same mistakes in course of time.

Keep The Faith...
Have faith in them. For, there is no love without trust.
Zip your lips when they confide in you.

Express Yourself Clearly...
Know when they need a hug, and couldn't you use one?
Offer to help, and know when "No thanks" is just politeness.
Quietly disagree, noisy No's make enemies.
Verbalise your feelings.

Have Fun...
Get together often, misery loves company, so does glee.
Talk frequently, communication is important.

Enjoying your friendship is the order of the day. So it's not what we call a friendship if you don't feel right.
Always remember a friendship is worth it when you are able to enjoy the amazing relationship with no holds barred. It's a mutual bond for life that you cant give up.

PRESENTATION SKILLS

SAY WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SAY
SAY IT
SAY THAT YOU HAVE SAID IT


A good presentation basically consists of three main parts:
  • an INTRODUCTION
  • a BODY
  • a CONCLUSION
NOTES: Introduction is the first impression of the content
Conclusion is the impression that will stay in the audience's mind the longest

REMINDER : Audience analysis- study your audience before the presentation-how much do they know? what are they interested in?

IMPORTANT: Plan, write, edit & rewrite your speech/text

I'm going home...

I'm going home,
back to place where I belong,
and where your love has always been enough for me..

I'm not running from
No, I think you get it all wrong,
I don't regret this life I chose for me..
But these places and these are getting old
So I'm going home
Well I'm going home...

Hye, and yes its' me, Aishah again..why always me and where is everybody?Hmmm..maybe i just got plenty of free time compared to other..that's ok anyway..by the way that's is not the point..

Actually today I'm going back home..to Melaka the historical city of malaysia..hehe..My elder sister is getting married this Saturday, and as I'm the second child of my parents, so apparently, on that day (and a few day before the ceremony) I'll be the busiest person in the world (exaggerating...). I wonder, what does it feels to handle a wedding ceremony since this is the first time our family handling this kind of ceremony. Problem(s)?? I really, really wish we don't have even once but that impossible. Even so, all that I hope that no matter how big the problem might be, we can solve it without stain the ceremony (am i using the right word there??stain..If I'm wrong, do correct me). Well, mistake help us to be prepared in the future. Ok, gotta go. Please pray for us so that our ceremony go on as smooth as possible as planned..Bye..

p/s: The song just want to mention that I'm going home..Not that I' getting tired living here..n for the video group assignment, we'll post it later.
