Question 1: Marriage in different cultures leads to different perspective on bigamy, polygamy and monogamy. How do you react to this matter? What does the story present? Are those typical of today’s Malaysia?
In Islam itself, it encourages all those type of married. It doesn't means that men can married just like they want, but they need to follow all the rules and regulations. And for me, I don't care if my husband married more than one. He can married 2 until 4 if he wants but he needs to be fair and also he need to have a strong financial plan. It is the most important thing if my husband want to marry more than one. It is not beacause after he mrried another woman I want money as a conditon, but if does't has strong financial how he wants to feed his chldren soon.
The story of 'Mariah' represent about a man married with two women (polygamy). It shows how a husband wants to ask his wife to marry again but he still loves his first wife.
In Malaysia nowadays, most of women can't accept if their husband married with other women. They said that if their husband want to marry with ogher women it's shows that their husband do not love the anymore. That's why nowadays lots of devorces cases happen in Malaysia.

GENERAL ENGLISH 2: 8TH POST (TRAGEDY OF MY THIRD EYE)
Question 1: What do you think about bullying? Give reasons and examples.
For me, bullying is unacceptable things in this world. It is not a good thing to teach somebody or perhaps to treat people. I hate bullyer and I never be a bullyer altough I am an impatient person. People that make bully actually is kind of silly person. It is because they do it to people that is weak in a group. I think, thay only can do that if they re in group, not when they are alone. That is one of example that I can found. Another example as we can see in 'Tragedy of My Third Eye' short story, Ping was bullied by her classmate, Linda and Mugface.
Question 2: What does third eye represent?
'Third eye' represent of the unfair threat that Ping faced in her life. She got trouble in everywhere that she goes. In school,she always bullied by her classmate, Linda and Mugface. And her only one friend, May Yin also betrayed her after May Yin was persuade by Mugface to be Linda's friend. Mugface said that if May Yin be one of Linda's friend, they will treat her 'nasi lemak' everyday and teach her English.
When she at her house, she needs to face her madly aunt. Her aunt always scolded her and everything that she was done is not right for her aunt.

Question 1: According to Mason, " Deprivation is largely an attitude of mind" (pg53).
Discuss this quote by Mason & describe what deprives you?
For me, every people face with this situation. It depends on how they control this matter. What's deprive me? I'm not depriving anything actually. But, everytime I go to shopping complex, I always buy unecessary things. It's makes me deprive of money sometimes. I don't know how to control myself. And I think, I need to meet someone that can be my counselor and advise me how to spend my money wisely. Who want to be my money advisor? : )
Question 2: Mason also realizes that "How little is really absolutely necessary for life and even happiness". What was 'necessary' for Mason's life at that time? What is necessary for you to have in life? Why?
For Mason, he though that respecting each other is the most imprtant at that time. And for me, the most necessary thing in my life is love. Love pur parents, love our God (Allah), friends, teachers and people around us. If we love them all, we'll be love by people. Like people said, when we love other poeple, people will love us back.I really believe in that statement.
