VLD Week #2

Me: Quan

My Father: Phan thi Chi

My Brother: Uncle Tan

My Mother: Ah Soong

My sister: Aunt Binh

Dear Winston,

Today was a very horrible day that you don’t want to be in my place. The day where I should escape from Vietnam to Malaysia because Vietnam is now a communist Country. Well, you know my family, we all hate communism. I don’t know how to get out from Vietnam, but I have a brilliant idea came from my brain to steal a boat named lucky dragon. Everyone agree to steal the boat at night because it’s dark and its hoard to be noticed by anyone.

Stealing a boat from the guards that watching the boat everyday is a very hard thing to do. But If we had a good plan, we sure we will get the boat. The first thing that we are going to do is me and my father will climb like a monkey under the jetty so the guard wouldn’t notice me at all. After I reached near the boat, I will go in to the boat and raised the anchor. As I do this, my mother, sister and brother will quickly go to the sandbank and wait till I arrive there. The tides push the boat towards the sandbank to pick my family and escape Vietnam safely. The good thing is the boat is drifted to a right place or not we will be in trouble.

The plan goes really well until a strong man with an olive-green hat came towards us. We all are shocked and paralyzed. We couldn’t say a single word. When e gets a better look of that guy, he was actually a sailor who owned the boat. This man is named Captain Cu and he was very dirty and smelly. Despite his ugly face and terrifying teeth, he wants to help us to go to Malaysia. I don’t know why he wants to help us, but I remembered that he is bored of living in Rach Gia and hates the communist. So it turns out this guy will come with us to leave Vietnam and go to Malaysia.

VLD Week 1

Part A

Dear uncle,

I just got very terrible news about my family about the government accused us from doing something wrong. The government will separate us in the next day, but I refused to that, instead I will leave Jakarta before the separation happens. I am really sorry that I can’t surprise you for your birthday, but I wish the best luck for you. I don’t know that this could happen because I know that I did something wrong, however my actions it not very horrifying until the government wanted to separate us from each other. So I got no choice to leave Jakarta as soon as possible. We can still contact each other by using Skype or messenger in the computer.

In this type of conditions, I usually feel normal, but instead I feel very frustrated about the plans about leaving this country. I mean if I got caught red handed, I will be doomed forever, but if the plans worked I can stay in the new country and live like nothing just happened. I expect the new country would accept us and has a lot of educational school for me. I am still thinking if I need to change my name or passport or even my family’s name. The most important think of all is I should pray to God to help me and guide us the righteous way. When I pray to God already, I feel relief that God will help us throughout the escape mission. I feel extremely nervous because I haven’t done this before in my entire life.

I really want to go back to my homeland and visit u, uncle and rest of my family. I don’t want this to happen to us. I mean can this happen to another family rather than us. I hope you can keep our money in Jakarta safely and help grandma and grandpa if they need some help.

                                                                                                                                                Sincerely , Andrew

Part B

I would feel the same as Quan because when something bad happens to me or my family, I still be tough and fix things right. I don’t quickly feel nervous or unsure of making a decision. I can be a very great leader to the family because I can lead the family easily. If one of my members pass away, I don’t cry and just keep it in my heart.

Project #5 - Biography

Mulyana Kasim (c. 1962-present), Father

There is lots of heroic, wise, and hardworking man in the world like superman, Barack obama, etc. But my dad in my opinion is way better than all of those. Is name is Mulyana Kasim. In 16 August 1962, he opens his eyes for the first time to see the world. He was born with two sisters. He lived in Jakarta near the continent of Australia. He is the best dad that I have.

            He own a company called” harry jaya Sejati” which they produces big cold storage that is used in a restaurant. This job is really important to him because it’s not quite hard, but gives lots of salary to my dad, R 20 000 000 million per month. Without the help of that money I can’t afford to go to school in IICS. He also had some problem such as when a car hits his car in the middle of the road. Instead he goes to his office using a motorcycle.

            Other than working in a company, he joined the military forces for 2 years. He and his friends love to ride tanks. Sometimes in the weekdays, he had some free time and that free time is used to go work out his muscles in the gym. Now he already has some big muscles.

            He really loves his mother because his mother always helps him when he doesn’t know what to do anymore and give him some good advice about life and work. When he is sick, he likes to go to his mother first rather than going to the doctor.

            I really admire my father because he never gives up and he keeps getting forward until he achieves something special. My uncle used to say to me,” Your father has a nice personality, big luck, and never gives up. He likes to help his family when in danger and gives money to you when needed”.

This biography teach me a lot of lessons. Now I know that my father is an important person. Without him, I can't buy stuff or go somewhere. He also become my hero.

Project #3 Bible Story

Me and the Ark

            I was on this journey to save all mankind in the entire world. How cool is that. But before, I tell you the whole story, I want to introduce my children Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

            It was started when I saw how arrogant and evil man is. Well not for me, I am a righteous man, God’s follower. In a sudden, I heard God’s voice that God was going to swept mankind off in the face of the earth. I was surely terrified that I was going to die too. God then told me to make this gigantic ark to safe my wife, kids, and some of the animals. I was also being told that is should be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. I was really surprised that God had told me that.

            The next morning, I was getting started to make a monstrous ark and honestly I don’t even knew how to built one of this. But oh well. I worked every day, every night, without any hesitation and I worked until the very last drop of my sweat.

            Finally, the ark that I build four hundred and thousands of years was finish. But suddenly, a drop of water comes out from the sky, and then a drizzle, and then massive water comes out from the gate of heaven, falling to the dirt of earth for 40 days and 40 nights. I quickly gather all my family to the ark and I told them to bring their favorite animals. I cruise the ship 24 hours, without taking a rest. I was really exhausted, but what can I do. The frightening water hits my ark from left to right and right to left, and the thunder was roaring like it never roar before. It was nightmare for a normal human being.

            At last, the gate of heaven was closed and there was no more rain. Our hearts were now filled with joy. I stepped outside for a better look for the view. I sent some dove that I already trained to check whether it was still flood or not. I waited several more days until a dove came back with a freshly lucked olive leaf. That was the sign that the flood was already drained from the earth. Then I saw this double beautiful rainbow coming out from the sky making the happiest time of my life.

           

Word count: 408         Genesis 6-8


1. The first thing I did is read the whole story of Noah. I choose Noah because he helped his family and some of the animal from the giant flood and I thought that he plays a big role on this survival mission. After I read the whole story, I chosen only the part where he made the ark and save the animal and his family. Then I summarize it with my own word and uses the first point of view which I became Noah. The part that I leave out was the one rest of the story other than the 'Survival mission'.


2. Becoming other person is the most difficult stuff. I mean I should be somebody else that is not me. I am trying to be what I am not. I should have the same feeling and attitudes as what Noah's have and that is really hard.


3. I think that becoming someone else is also fun. I know that it's really difficult, but I can learned how someone's feel . I can know how that person feel about this..., about that.... Everything!
