Naturalist: Mockingbird's habitat

The mockingbird's habitat is in open country with thickets, farmland and desert brush. They live in places ranging from the Canadian border down through South America. I think that the mocking birds live in Maycomb due to the fact that it is very similar to their natural habitat. Mocking bird do not like people to desturb their nests and Maycomb is no densely populated. This explains why mockingbirds would want to live in Maycomb. Maycomb is a argicultural country, thus there is a lot of farmland, which is similar to their natural habitat. Some animals that can live in Maycomb would be the racoon and squirrel. They can live in Maycomb as Maycomb has a lot of trees and there is a lot of plants for the animals to feed on. Maycomb is not a urbanized country and thus almost any type of small animal can be found there. I think most, if not all tropical plants could be found in Maycomb. This is because the Maycomb is an agricultural country and is not very developed and urbanised yet. This also means that Maycomb has thick dense forests. Maycomb receives alot of sunshine throughtout the year, this will enable more types of plants to survive. Maycomb also has alot of water due to the amount of rainfall they receive. So, most tropical plants will survive in Maycomb.

Multiple intelligence quiz

As you can see, I am a interpersonal and naturalistic person. This means that I learn best when doing work with others and outdoors. However, I am not a logical and linguistic learner. This means that I do not learn well with words and numbers. I feel that the Multiple Intelligences test is very useful as it allows people to know how they learn best. Thus, people would not have to put themselves at an disadvantage as they will know how they will learn best. This test is also free. Thus, it will be accessible to everyone. However, there are a few disadvantages to this test. A disadvantage would be that some people would lie during the test and thus will not get accurate results. Another disadvantage would be that there are not enough questions to really determine a person's learning abilities. An example would be that for the interpersonal type of questions, it did not cover all the fields involving people.

Chinese New Year

I just finished celebrating Chinese New Year. During this time, I was very busy as I had to collect money from relatives :D and interacting with cousins etc. So, as usual, I went to my grandmother's house in the morning at about 10am. When I was there, we took our usual family photo and had a sumptuous lunch, which had abalone, sea cucumber, pig tendon and a lot of other good food. This year, my grandmother actually opened 6 cans of abalone! Then, we went to my great-grandmother's and grand uncle's house to visit and collect money :P. After a whole day of visting, we went to my maternal grandmother's house to visit her and then finally back home to rest for about 1 to 2 hours. Then we went to my aunt's house to eat steamboat. The second day was not as hectic and we visited the temple my father goes to as he noes the abbot there. To my amazement, the abbot actually hired a lion dance troupe. My ear drums almost popped when they started banging and clanging their instruments, so I heaved a sigh of relief when it finally ended. After reaching home, my mother cooked instant noodles for the whole family to eat. Then, my sister and i had to do our homework as the teachers gave alot of homework during the chinese new year. :( I then went to my grandmother's house to eat steambout. Usually, in previous years, I will gamble with my father's family and i will usually earn abot $120++. But this year, I gambled alot lesser as my luck was not very good. However, i still managed to make about $30+. :S Instead, I borrowed my 9 year old cousin's gameboy SP and played pokemon emerald. And to my surprise, it actually turned out to be quite fun! So, thus chinese new year turned out to be quite fruitful and I rediscovered a old game. :D

The seriousness of H1N1 and the precautions we can take against it

Do you guys know what is H1N1? Some of oyu may know while some of you may not. So, let me define H1N1. H1N1 is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus. H1N1 has mutated into various strains including the Spanish Flu strain. Let me tell you something more interesting. The 2009 swine flu outbreak is an epidemic of a new strain of Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 identified in April 2009. It was thought to be a mutation (reassortment) of four known strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1: one endemic in humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in pigs (swine). H1N1 has been spreading around the world, even Singapore has over 1000 cases and the numbers are growing more and more rapidly day by day. There has been 94512 cases and 429 deaths around the world. Recently, someone died of H1N1 in Singapore. It was a 49 year old man died on Saturday afternoon. He died of a heart attack, contributed by severe pneumonia and H1N1 infection. The victim also had diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. In order to prevent ourselves from catching the H1N1 virus, we have to follow some safety precautions, like: 1. Taking your temperature regularly 2. Go to the doctor if you feel unwell or have a flu 3. Do not to crowded places 4. Do not share things like utensils, cups, toothbrushes etc. without washing them throughly 1st If you take care of your health and follow the precautions, you are most likely to be safe. However, you cannot take H1N1 lightly. It is a very serious problem and there is every chance of you getting an infection. Please leave your comments. Yhank you.
