                   In academic goal, I wanted to succeed A's in every subject. But I only get at least 3 A's, some B's, and some C's. But I will study really hard to achieve more A's and to make my family proud. And I could help my father's work and to help my family while my father is away. If my father died, I would still help him to succeed his work and to help my family. 

                   I have learned some lessons in ISKL and it helps me to refresh my thoughts. It was really easy when I took the test that I have already learned. The teachers had also explained very well better than my old school. I am also pleased that some of my friends helped me to answer the question that I don't know. The teacher had teach us very well and shows some skills to us.

                   I want to learn more history in humanities and in humanities is my favorite period because it was interesting. I also wants to learn more experience to learn more things from the library. I also like to do an experiment in science because it is fun and interesting. If I don't know some lesson that I don't know, the teachers are so helpful to help me. There are a lot of things that I need to know and to become really smart.

                   I want to make more friends to be really kind to me. I also need to improve myself in studies and paying attention in every period. I need to improve my vocabulary because my grade went down. In the next 6 month, I will ask my tutor teacher to give me a challenging test. I also want to enjoy the moments at ISKL.

Post Discussion Reflection (Nov 24th)

The discussion that we had today was really interesting and it amazed me. It has changed my thoughts about Supeet, as I thought that the snake bit Supeet's eyebrow, but I made a mistake about it. Actually, they said that the snake spit its venom to Supeet's eye and that was how he got blind. I was grateful to know what really happened to Supeet. When my group asked us the question that they made, I contributed a lot of answers. I was really confident in contributing my answers and I was also proud of myself. And I feel that I can answer more. I had really tried my best to answer more interesting answers to my group. I had also listened to them very well and it was really interesting. We had discussed about Donovan, the boss of the poachers. We think that he is a cruel person because he killed a lot of elephants by commanding his poachers to do so. He wanted to find Jacob's father and force him to tell the location of the big elephants. He wanted to do so because he wanted to be rich, as a person was waiting to buy the ivory from him. He tried to trick Jacob because he is innocent; by allowing Jacob to go into his plane for losing the poachers. 

Post Discussion Reflection (Nov 17th)

In our discussion today, I chose my favorite passage as the part where Supeet saved Jacob from the fire. It's my favorite because if Jacob was not save, that would be the end of the story of Thunder Cave. My least favorite part of the story was when the elephants were killed by the poachers. I think it is so sad and I felt angry that people could do such a thing. One of the student spotted the word 'Thunder Cave' in page 150 of the book, though I am not too sure is it a real cave or just a name given to something. Someone asked what would happen to Jacob if Supeet did not help him. I would say that he will struggle to survive or he might just die of thirst. My friend asked what would happen if Jacob never went to Kenya and did not stay with his cousin. He would have been sad and lonely. When asked, do I have any connection with the story, I felt I do, in some way. Like Jacob's dad, my dad is away to other countries for work most of the time but I am definately luckier as my parents are still together, unlike Jacob's where they are divorced.   

Post Discussion Reflection (Nov 10th)

In todays discussion, Mr. Thomas asked the class which are their favorite and least favorite passages. My favorite passage is the one that tells Jacob gave a hug to Taw to thank him for making his bike. It was a nice gesture and it makes me like the passage. My least favorite passage is when the thieves hit Jacob when he tried to get back his bike. The thieves had already done something bad by stealing Jacob's bike and they made themselves look even worst by whacking Jacob when he was just trying to get back what belong to him. During the discussion, someone posted the question about how we would feel when someone stole our bike. I think I would be really angry and report it to the police. If I saw my lost bike in a warehouse, I would make sure to let the police know about it and get the thieves arrested. The Kachina Doll that belonged to Jacob's father raised a question about its symbol. Some said it might be a symbol for good luck. When I was reading the book, I thought that the owner of the pawnshop was just giving a chance to Jacob to go to Kenya. But I was wrong. According to my group, the owner was sorry for Jacob because his mother has just died so he added another $100 for the things that Jacob pawned. After the discussion, I realized that Jacob was not a coward as I thought he was initially. Now, I think he is a boy that never gives up on what he wants to achieve until he achieves it. 

Post Discussion Reflection (Nov 3rd)

 During this week's discussion, someone asked how would we feel if our mother had died the same way as Jacob's. Many of them said they would cry for a whole day. I think whole day would not even be enough. Some of them raised the question about why did Jacob's father allowed him to use a dart to shoot the deer in the zoo since he knows for sure that it is not a right thing to do. It makes me wonder as well. It never had crossed my mind. Some of them suggested that maybe he didn't wants the job anymore and did not mind getting fired as his heart has already set for Kenya. Someone asked why did the mum actually married Sam. I was surprised that someone answered that it is because she wanted more money and wanted someone to take care of Jacob after Jacob's father left. My initial thought was that they were truly in love with each other. This response had opened up my thoughts and I think it can be true that she married Sam for the sake of money. After the discussion, some of my thoughts about Jacob's mum has changed. I now view her as a mother that would do anything for the sake of her child. I guess that Jacob silently wished that both their parents are still together.

What I Discovered.

I discovered that I was a good soccer goalkeeper when I was in my previous school.

I was in grade 2. It was soccer practice day. All my friends refused to be a goalkeeper for our team. So, I volunteered myself to be the goalkeeper although I have no experience being a goalkeeper. I dived, jumped, ran and did everything that I could to save each ball that was kicked towards me. I was exhausted and out of breath at the end of the game but I managed to save several goals in the match. My friends praised me for being a good goalkeeper. 

From that day onwards, I practice soccer as a goalkeeper. I love playing soccer very much because it is fun and I feel most confident with myself when I am in the field playing soccer.

What Am I Going To Be

I want to be an archaeologist because I would like to discover some prehistoric times and the ancient human's culture. I would also like to discover humankind and how they survived themselves in the past. I would love to discover their weapons and their old clothes made out of the prehistoric creatures. I realized that it is very difficult to discover it but I believe that I could find it. I feel that it is a great discovery when I find it.

Me, myself & I

My name is Asuka and I'm twelve years old. I'm from Japan. My mother is Japanese and my father is Indian. They are kind to me and I love them. I also have a brother and a sister. They always fight with each other. But the most important thing is that we are a happy family. My favorite activity is to play soccer. It is fun. 

The last three books that I've read were 'The Adventures of Tintin' by Hergé, Mr. Midnight by James Lee and Perishing Poles by Anita Gancri. The last movie that I watched was TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. For my academic goal, I want to score A's in each subject. I wish to have a lot of friends.

My favorite vocation memory is at Pulau Pangkor. I stayed at Pangkor Laut Resort. I enjoyed watching the sunset at the beach and taking pictures of hornbills there.

Five words that can be use to describe me are tall, clever, handsome, short haired and tanned.
