RITE OF PASSAGE

The Malay marriage is a regal affair. The bride and groom are treated as king and queen for a day. The pre-wedding meeting between the bride's and the groom's parents will determine the dowry that is to be given to the bride as well as the date of the solemnization. This may be as early as a year before the wedding itself so that arrangements could be made in advance. Often the wedding is held on one convenient weekend so as to accommodate relatives who live far away and to reduce costs. The henna application ceremony is held prior to the wedding. The bride's palms and feet are 'decorated' with the dye from the henna leaves. Sometimes this is followed by the costume changes and the bride and, less often, the groom will don different clothes for photography. The raised dais will be beautifully decorated for the purpose

Guests are invited to partake of a meal on Sunday. This is usually held in the void deck of a housing board flat so as to accommodate the large number of guests invited. Besides cutting down on costs, holding the feast in the void deck also enables the guests to view the bridal chamber and the sitting in state ceremony often held in the bride/groom home. The wedding preparation is often based on the got cooperation among friends and relatives, for which the Malays are most well known for. Again in Singapore, simplicity has given way to tradition and requires that such tasks be undertaken by caterers.

ACADEMIC WRITING

My brother’s wedding was an interesting ritual.. The ceremony started with “akad nikah” or marriage vow, which was overseen by the imam in front of some witnesses. The most challenging session for the groom was the "akad nikah" time where the groom was needed to express a verse in order to marry the bride legally. This was the most rerrifying time for the groom which would make the groom's hand sweating all over and there were butterflies in his stomach for sure. Then, other event in the wedding day was the” bersanding” ceremony that might take longer time depending on the number of guests and family members who wished to partake in the “tepung tawar” session. The guests were served with various kinds of food and also “bunga telur” as token gifts. The ceremony finished with photography session among family members with the king and queen of the day. The ceremony resembled in the Grand Continental Hotel. Plus, turquoise was the theme colour for this ceremony. Moreover, there were six guests for each table per serving. A part from that, the symbolic object tied between the special spouses of the day was two jewel rings. It represented the symbol of love through their marriage. The My brother's wedding is most interesting ritual that I never forget in my life.

My impression, the product can give me become beautiful and my skin looking fairer, smoother and firmer to the touch. So, every day I will collect my money until enough suppose I buy the product. But after I tried the product, the result gives me disappointed because not suitable with my skin. So, now I will never trust any advertisement just for its it image.


When I was 7 years old, I learned a great lesson from my parent. That was the day when I was riding my bicycle. Every day, my favorite activity is riding a bicycle. I will ride my bicycle with my friend around the village. Sometimes, we will ride bicycle in high speed or maybe speeding in a race between us. My parent always advise me but I never listened to their advises. For me, I had a lot of fun doing whatever I like with my bicycle.
One day, when we enjoyed in a race. Unfortunately, my bicycle has punctured. To make it worse, I couldn’t handle my bicycle properly. Suddenly, my bicycle went straight to the drain including myself. It was a painful moment for me because I had severe injuries all over my body. It was an unforgettable accident. What I have learnt from this incident was as a child, we must listen to the eldest especially our parent because they have their own reasons on why they prohibit us from doing that they don’t like.

my experience with flow

My flow of life is very complicated. It gives me varies experiences to what I am now. I started my first education in primary school at Kuala Nerang, Kedah. I was an excellent student among my other friends in primary school. I got A’s in every subject that I took in the examination. My parent was very proud of my result. But, after I was in secondary school, my performance in study began to fall apart, I was not as excellent as I was in primary school. My result for PMR was so disappointing. I had disappointed both my parents. I took it for granted and never looked into my studies after every class that I had attended. It made me felt so bad. Sometimes I felt like giving up. But my parents never scolded me for that, they always gave their full support and encouragement to me in order for me to move on with my next life especially in education. For me, I had my own principle in life. “If no pain, there’ll be no gain, once I fall, it doesn’t mean that I’ll fall forever. But it’s the best start towards success and glory.” After I got my result for SPM, it went out well. My result was in flying colors. I got 11A’s and I was the best student in my school at that year of SPM examination. I was honoured by the headmistress, Madame Rafidah. She was the one who was so overwhelmed with excitation after she knew about my result. After all, she was the one I met when I failed for my PMR examination. She never wanted me to loss spirits in studying. Until now, her words have never slipped my mind and it is always unambiguous. “Aim high and go for it, never turn yourself to failure.” She always gave her full support as if I was her flesh and blood daughter. Aiming high and hard working had been very worth it to me. Everyone has their abilities to gain success including myself. Once in a while, we can’t run from making mistakes in life. For me, mistakes are also the heart and soul of success. But the most important thing is that, I had learned from my mistakes and that had made many differences in my life. Plus, I have successfully proved that I also have the ability to be success just like anyone else in this world.

Enjoying in work are interesting and attracting. It makes me feel so curious to know about their secrets. What I learned about the secret of happiness in work is so unique. When I read the article about the experiences by Tiffany G, Brian F, Chris M, and Diego C, it is proved that every work must have a factor to be happy in any works that we are in. I like to describe a story about Brian F. He said that, “I have the best job in the world, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’m an archaeologist, a discoverer of people and places from the past. As a child, I was crazy about ancient people such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Mayas, Aztecs, and Incas. In college, I majored in archeology. I have a great love for things from the distant past, from hundreds or thousands of years ago. Sometimes I find a piece of jewelry such as a ring or part of a necklace. I stand there with it in my hand, and I think, “I am the first person to hold this in three thousand years. Sometimes I discover broken pieces of an ancient bowl. I carefully clean them and put the bowl back together. It’s like a puzzle. I focus on it so hard that I forget everything else. I’m not aware of time and I have no idea of the hour. I look up at the clock, and it is five hours later. It seemed like only minutes. Every day, I’m thankful for my work. It’s more than my profession. It’s my life.” From his stories and experiences above, passion in one job is vital and it plays a vast role for the factor of love in job. In my opinion, Plus, we have the passion to continue in doing what we love most in our lives. For example, if a person I learned that the secret of happiness in work discovers our talent, passion, and strength. Everyone has their own talents. For example singing, sewing, baking or maybe dancing. So, we have to use our granted talents wisely. It’s good to know about our own talent so that we can enjoy our lives beneficially is into medicine, the career as a doctor will perfectly suits him or her. Passion also plays the main factor in order to gain happiness in work. We can look into Brian F’s story, he is very passionate in his profession, so it is not uncanny if he enjoys his job. Besides, strength also plays a factor in order to achieve happiness in jobs. Strength is important in the world of social intelligence, kindness, honesty, self-control and the ability to work in a group. According to Martin E.P Seligman, it’s especially important to know our strength. Everyone has certain strengths. We can choose to use them or not just like the talents that we have. How are they different from talents? In Authentic Happiness, Seligman explains that strengths are moral characteristic, it is the abilities to know what is right and what is wrong and to choose right. We can all build on our strengths, and we can all acquire new ones. In a nutshell, passion, talents and strength are a great combination in order to feel the happiness in work.
