Harmony day 2009

Harmony day is a celebration held on 21 of March each year. They celebrate it because Australia has different cultures living together in harmony.

In TAFE we have celebrated it together. We went upstairs in building A to a big room, the conference room, and while we entered they gave us badges and stickers. Then we sat and listened to a teacher who explained what we would celebrate. She gave a ribbon roll to the first row to write on any word, even if it was in our language but the roll didn't reach us.

There were four people from other classes who spoke about their experiences when the came to Australia. The first of them was an Indian man who has been in Australia for four months only. Then two Chinese women spoke. A Lebanese woma stood and said that she wanted to talk , when she finished they all clapped strongly for her . Actually I spoke with her after the celebration and said to her that she was great and she told me that her words were coming from her heart because she really loves Australia.

By the way, there was also a Chinese woman who played with a Chinese instrument. She played a Chinese slow melody which was wonderful.

Then we sang together the Australian anthem. After that we sang a song " We are many but we are one" It was so nice to sing together. At last we had breakfast and a drink, then we returned to class with Rosa . Really it was a great time we spent together .

Funy story

Hi every body. Today I want to talk about a funny thing that happened to me when I was 8 years old. I was walking to school with my older sister Rash. Every day we had to walk through a public garden, a big area, There were many big dogs in the far side of this park. These dogs were homeless and dirty. Actually they were a sleep all the time, That is why we made fun of them every time we saw them. That made me brave to have more fun of them . My sister said to me "don't go near them !you may get hurt ". I used to shout at them and laugh. Then I said to my sister "see ! see! they are very funny . I think even if a cat walks in front of them, they wont do any thing! will they ? hahahaha". Then I turned to them and said "Miaow .....Miaow.....Maiow" Try to make my voice like a cat's voice. In this second all things changed? All of them woke up and you can't imagine how angry they became? and their eyes looked straight to me and Rasha. I was so a fraid that I found my self on the other side of the long garden because I had run as fast I could. When I turned looking for my sister. I found her standing against the dogs blocking the way between them and me and looking to them with strong eyes . She was never a fraid. That why the dogs returned to their place.

I looked to my hand ! Where is my bag? Oh I run without it ? I was Such a brave girl! I learnt from this allot of things. That I must be good with these animal because they are strong but they don't hurt us so i mustn't hurt them . And the other things I learnt from my sister were to think about the others not to be selfish when I run and leave my sister alone which was standing to avoid the danger and save me. I was a child but I didn't forget that.

Famous buildings

Hi mate. Today I was thinking about a new idea. I well write about famous buildings and monumental from a different places and with a different view point. And tell you about an important thing for each building. For example. I will write about the Opera House in Sydney. But I will tell you some thing I suppose you don't knew, about the acoustical solution on it .and the problems which appear on the interior design where they used a false celling to solve it . What you see? should I do it our not?.

Eventual day

Hi every body today i wan publish an email I've sent to my sister Suha talking about yesterday which was an eventual day . Dear Suha Where are you? Long time no see. I miss you sister so much. Oh by the way, Suha, you won't believe what happened. You knew "Husein"Mazin's uncle, didn't you? Oh he died last night He was a young and strong man and he had good health. I was surprised when Mazin told me. Ali had called to tell him the sad news. Actually Mazin was freed. Because when Ali called, Mazin was busy that Ali left a voice message telling Mazin "call me as soon as possible". Mazin said to me "my heart is telling me something about my father. He is very old and sick and may be he died ......" then he stooped talking and called Ali immediately . Mazin was so surprised to hear that he felt so sad. He loved his uncle a lot. I was trying to calm him down. So please Suha tell our father. He must go to them and stand by his family at this hard time. OK Suha, have nice day and take care of yourself. Don't forget me and keep in touch.
