A Famosa, we went to visit the crocodile farm. The way to go to crocodile farm was very
bumpy and need 2 hours to reach there. But we chat happily with each others so we don't feel
tired on the way to crocodile farm. I saw many species of crocodiles there, it's really
interesting! It helped me to exhanced my knowledge. We have also watched crocodilefeeding sessions. I wish that you can watched with me because it's really horrible that many
crocodiles get their food together!

TALK/SPEECH
A very good morning to our beloved principal, Pn Laila Mohd Noor, senior
assistants, teachers and friends. On this glorious morning, I, Gary Tan the
recipient of this years Best Student Award am going to give a talk on How
to Become a Successful Student. In my speech, I am going to share with you

some tips on how you can be a successful student.If you want to be

successful, you must set goals. Research shows that people who set goals
accomplish more than those who do not. In deciding your goals, ask yourself
What do I want to be? and What do I do to get there? Besides, you must
be motivated. When you are motivated you will have a strong desire to do well
and to achieve your goals. In addition, you must pay attention in class. Listen
actively and focus on what the teacher is teaching. If you have disruptive
classmates, sit in front of the classroom, away from them. Always ask
questions if you do not understand. Seek clarifications from your teachers or
your friends if you are shy to approach the former.Another important tip to
being a successful student is to be organised.You can use a planner or
notebook to write down all your assignments when they are given. This way
you will not forget your homework, dates of tests or projects. Remember, if
you are organised you will be well- prepared and you will have less
stress. Moreover, you must complete your homework on time. Homework
helps reinforce what you have learnt. It helps you understand and remember
the information. You must prepare well for exams. A successful student is one
who prepares for exams well in advance, and not at the eleventh hour. If you
study consistently, you will have ample time for revision.Friends, to be a
successful student you must have diverse interests.You should take part in
co-curricular activities in order to become a well-rounded person. These
activities help develop leadership skills and teamwork besides instilling
values like cooperation and tolerance. Discipline is an important aspect of our
lives. No matter where you go or what you do, you will be subjected to rules
and regulations. Hence, it is crucial that you obey the school rules.
Dear friends,What is success if you lack the common courtesies in life?
Remember,you must respect everyone. You must respect your parents, your
teachers, the school staff and also your friends. You must respect other
peoples feelings and opinions.There are also several things you must avoid if
you want to be a successful student. You must avoid wasting time. These days
many teenagers spend hours on social networks such as Facebook or playing
computer games. These are a waste of time and will not benefit you in any
way. Remember, Time and tide wait for no man. Also, avoid skipping
school. Some students feel that school is a waste of time as they can learn
better from their tuition teachers. This is not true. The teachers in our school
are experienced and well qualified. They are also experienced examiners and
they know how to impart knowledge effectively.I have to stop here. I hope you
have found my talk helpful. Thank you for listening attentively.

How Internet Affects Life

By:Syawalynn Zain

Nowadays, the use of Internet is increasing especially among

adolescence or more accurately, students. The Internet issue is discussed by
the adults and parents. Most of them are worried that the use of Internet is
dangerous to their kids. Some others said that Internet may bring benefits to
their children especially to those who will be sitting for an examination.
On my opinion, Internet has both benefits and drawbacks. First of all, let
me talk about the benefits first. As we know, Internet is mostly used by
students. By surfing internet, students can visit various websites to assist
their studies. The examples of popular websites are tutortv.com , unicliq.com ,
and tutor.com.my. They can visit the websites and revise their studies in more
exciting way. Some of them are free. Students can visit it anytime they want.
The websites also provide useful notes and exercises. At the same time,
students can get additional information that they cannot find it in books. For
instance, they can go to 'Google' or 'Yahoo' search engines to search for more
ideas to write an essay. In short, Internet provides vast informations and
knowledge which is very beneficial for the students.
Next, Internet also provides lots of social networks such as Facebook ,
Twitter, MySpace and many other. Through these social networks, we can add
more friends and make new friends. We can also know friends from other
country as these social networks are used internationally. Other than adding
friends, we can also strengthen our relationship with our friends and family
who are staying far away from us using Skype. We can see them in front of our
eyes eventhough they are actually far away from us through web camera.
Besides, Internet also offers entertainment. We canwatch videos of our
favourite artists by just one click through 'Youtube' website. We can also
watch favourite movies without paying. Plus, there are many artists born from
'Youtube'. So, fans can know more about the artists from Youtube. Meanwhile,
4shared.com provides tracks, videos and files that can be downloaded for
free! Internet users can enjoy themselves at anytime watching their favourite
artists' performance for free.
Internet doen not only offersbenefits for students but also to those who
want to gain more money. It also provides business opportunities. As for
example, mudah.my gives a wide room for surfers to promote anything they
want to sell. Through this, people with no job can gain money and support
their lives by doing the online business.
However, as I said earlier, Internet also brings bad effects to its users.
Firstly, it can encourage cyber crimes. Besides that, students who spend too
much time on Internet may neglect their studies and do not finish their
homework. This should be avoided as studies are important especially to
teenagers.
Although Internet can add more friends to our list, yet, it still can develop
anti-social behaviour. Not all of the users use Internet to make friends, someof
them only play video games or just sit down wayching videos on Youtube.

They will only sit and ignore what is happening around them. The worst thing
is, they may not realise that there is an earthquake out there! This anti-social
behaviour may leads to health problems. The users will just stay at home and
sit in front of computer and this will cause them to be lazy couch potatoes. It
will also lead to obesity.
Next, most students will not attracted to surf knowledgeable websites,
but wasting their time on other non-beneficial things. Wasting timeon Internet
can cause students to neglect their studies. Not only time is wasted but also
money. With the uses of more electricity non-stop, utility bills may increase
dramatically. We just not pay for the electric bills but also internet monthly
bills.
The conclusion is, everything has its own benefits and drawbacks.
However, it depends on how we are using it. If we spend more time using it for
benefits, we will get positive effects. But if we use it more to non-beneficial
things, we will get negative effects. So, it depends on you.

REPORT/TRIP
Integrated Leadership Camp
The Co-curricular Unit of SMK Setia recently organised an
Integrated Leadership Camp at Perimbun Resort, Cheras, from 2729th July. The objectives of the camp were to instil leadership
qualities and improve teamwork among the 50 participants who

attended this camp. The activities at the camp were handled by

several youth leaders from a local university. All participants,
presidents and secretaries of the various clubs in school, had
gathered at the school hall at 2pm. From there, they were taken to
the campsite in two buses. They were accompanied by five
teachers, including the senior assistant of co-curricular affairs
Puan Ng. Upon arrival at the campsite, they were given a briefing
by the facilitators. Then, they were put into groups and asked to set
up tents. By 7pm, most of them had accomplished this task
successfully. After dinner, the participants had to engage in their
first group activity. They were required to come up with names and
theme songs for their groups. The second day of the camp was
much more hectic. The participants had a rigorous exercise
session which involved aerobics and jogging around the campsite.
Then, after breakfast, they had to display their survival skills. In the
afternoon, the participants had another round of physical activities.
They engaged in canoeing in the nearby lake. The night
programme was the most interesting. Participants had to take part
in a night hike. There was only one activity on the third day of the
camp ? the feedback session. The participants rated the
programme highly and hoped that it would be held annually. The
leadership camp was a huge success because all participants
showed tremendous support by actively participating in all the
activities throughout the duration of the camp.

REPORT-INCIDENT

Principal, SMK Bukit Tinggi
Title : Charily Run 2013
SMK Bukit Tinggi annual Charity Run for 2013 was held on 18th September. The
event was originally scheduled to start at 6.30 a.m. but the flag-off only took place at
7 a.m. due to the rain. Like the past years, the run started and ended at the school

field.
The purpose of this year's Charity Run is to raise funds for the local orphanage.
Participants were charged a RM15 registration fee that includes some mineral water
and a t-shirt.
The entire route of the run was 10.5 kilometres. A total of 578 students throughout
the school took part in the event. Nur Amalina from Form 5B came out first, followed
by Boon Keat from 5A, second and Ganesh Lingam from 4D, third. The winners
were presented with medals and hampers by the President of the Parent Teacher
Association, Datuk Rahim Mahmud.
While the event was successfully completed, there were some incidents that
occurred during the run. Two participants lost their belongings. Both of them left their
bags at the side of the field despite being repeatedly reminded by the organisers not
to do so. Participants were advised to leave their belongings in the hall next to the
field where there were students on duty. Fortunately, they only lost small amounts of
money and some snacks.
Apart from that, some participants also sustained minor injuries. This was due to the
fact that they did not do warm-up exercise before running. As a result, they suffered
cramps halfway through the run. They were immediately attended to by the medical
team on standby and recovered after a short rest.
From this year's event, it is clear that there are still room for improvement in the
organisation of this event. For example, more refreshment stands should be made
available throughout the course of the run. This will ensure that participants are well
hydrated while running. Besides, more volunteers should be brought in to control and
direct traffic where the route meets with the main street. This will ensure the safety of
the participants as well as the safety of road users passing by the area.
