Term 1 Week 8

  Monday: March holiday is just around the corner. This is the last week of term 1. We have not recieve our literature exam papers until the start of term 2. Ms Malyanah came into our class and went through the sonnet part 1 with us. She taught us about the unrest and rest in each syllable.  However, she did not went through much that day. Our class was very noisy and Ms Malyanah was really upset on our class as she had to scream to quiet down our class. Thus, time was wasted. Ms Malyanah gave us another worksheet on sonnet(part 2). It is on the words that Romeo used to describe Juliet's beauty, and Ms Malyanah taught us the definition about it. She only managed to went through some questions with us as our class was noisy and she had to pause and give us a scolding. I think that our class should be more discipline and responsible so that we would not waste our precious time. If this continues, we might waste time for make-up lessons to recover the time we wasted on scolding us. This would give other teachers a bad impression on our class.

 

 

 

 Friday:  Our class was quieter on Friday. Ms Malyanah managed to go through all the questions on sonnet(part 2). After that, she gave us a worksheet. It was seperated into three parts on both sides on the paper. I was wondering if it was a brochure. Then, Ms Malyanah instucted us to fold it into three parts, as expected. It was a brochure!

  Ms Malyanah insrtucted us to get 10 different expectations of their partner from 5 girls and 5 guys from our class. My expectation was ridiculous, but i have many, so i picked one that was not common. I wanted my future partner to be handsome, devoted, caring, 'hot', soft, tall, muscular and must be a japanese. Being japanese was not a common expectation in our class, so I picked that expectation. I know it was ridiculous to some people. I want my future partner to look like my idol, but he's just a fictionless character. Ms Malyanah then told us about greek's opinion on love. The lowest level of greek opinion of love is Eros. Eros is passionate love or longing. The second level of love is Philia. Philia is mostly brotherhood and friendship. This invloves loyalty to friends, family and community. The highest level of love is agape. Agape is a divine, unconditional and self-sacrificing affection. This is the highest and purest form of love.

  Our March holiday assignment is to complete the brochure assignment. We have to fill it up. We have to write about what our religion said about love, a love peom to our loved one, the lyrics of a love song, and 5 qualities to maintain a successful marriage. Lastly, I would want to share some songs on what I think about love.

This is a japanese song.

The lyrics (translation): I repeated it for a long time. I made you sad for a long time.
I must have hurt you. Now I still cannot move.
Why is it so painful to touch you?
I think it is because I was afraid of making the same mistake and losing you.

I tried to recover the unforgettable days to stay close to each other.
You hold my hand without asking anything.

Even if you don't love me tomorrow, I must love you as I do now.
Even if you don't see me tomorrow, I must love you as I do now.
I will walk together, the future not promised
It keeps walking together, to the future in which you are…

I love you so much that I forget any suffering.
My heart feels pain every time I count the days we cannot meet.

The loneliness is piling up. Please don’t cry alone.
Even if we are so far away, we can believe each other.

I wish to smile as it is. I don’t want you to hurt yourself.
I don't want to repeat such feelings, which have kept fading each time.
Even if you don't love me tomorrow, I must love you as I do now.
Even if you don't see me tomorrow, I must love you as I do now.
Please, only look at me. Please, don’t let our hands separate.
I will walk together, the future not promised
It keeps walking together, to the future in which you are…
