How To Find True Friends

8 Qualities of a Good Friend

From Jessica Stevenson, former About.com Guide

What are the qualities of a good friend? True friendships can start instantly but they take time to build. Here are a few qualities to look for when making friends as a teen -- and beyond.

1. A good friend is honest.

A good friend may not share every detail of every second of their life, but they do try to be clear about their intentions. This means that they try to present an accurate picture of who they are and of different situations. When something doesn't seem right, they let you know.

2. A good friend is fun, unique and interesting.

OK, this is a given, and probably the reason you became friends in the first place. But there's a lot to be said for chemistry and shared interests.As for fun, it depends how you define it: Some friends are fun because they're the life of the party, others are fun because they notice every strange little detail about a situation. Some people are fun simply because they see life like no one else does.

3. A good friend is attentive and adaptable.

A good friend is at least a fairly good listener and notices how little, day-to-day things affect you. They can't read your mind, but chances are they can usually tell when you're happy, sad, excited, shocked or upset. If they're aware that they're doing something that annoys you, they try to change their ways or at least talk to you about it.

4. A good friend is supportive of you and your goals.

Sure, your friend may think you're cool, but are they on the same page as you? Do they know what you want most out of life? A really good friend will know what makes you tick and help you become the person you want to be. They won't try to change who you are or drag you into situations that make you uncomfortable or put you at risk of losing something that matters to you.

5. A good friend is a friend you can trust.

A true friend won't try to steal your girlfriend or boyfriend, your job or your personality. They won't gossip about you constantly or try to damage your reputation. They will let you know when they're concerned and do their best to stick up for you when you're in trouble.

6. A good friend makes it clear that they care about you.

Different people may have different ways of letting you know that they care about you. One person may give you a big hug whereas another person might gently tease you. A big clue that someone cares is that they talk to you fairly often and, in general, know what's going on in your life and act interested about it.

7. A good friend sticks with you in good times and bad.

Loyalty is a quality almost everyone lists when asked what they look for in a friend. A loyal friend will stick with you when your new play is a flop, when you bomb the SATs or when your parents get divorced. If you move or switch schools, they'll do their best to stay in touch with you.

8. A good friend accepts you for who you are, even when you're being a butthead.

In friendship, being accepting goes hand in hand with being loyal. A true friend rolls with the punches as you grow and change and know how to deal with your quirks and faults.They are also patient with you when you make mistakes -- even big ones -- and learn how to forgive you when you hurt them. In other words, they treat you as you'd like to be treated, even when you aren't at your best

Best student spent more time on his studies than facebook

2011-03-29T09:42:00.003+08:00

KUCHING: One of Sarawak's top Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) scorers attributed his success in the examination to the way he spent more time on his studies and less on Facebook.

Jonathan Jong Jee Heng, 17, of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Green Road, who scored 10A+ in the examination, said he only spent 15 minutes on the social network website daily.

The son of a technician is among 36 students in the state who obtained grade A+ in all subjects.

"I'm not addicted to Facebook. I spend less than 15 minutes everyday to check on updates and information," he told Bernama when contacted.

Even then, he said, he normally checked on information about scholarship posted by friends on Facebook.

His schoolmate Karen Toh Hui Qi, 17, who also obtained 10A+, said her father Toh Poi Seng, 52, a lecturer, had been motivating her to obtain a good result in the examination.

"My father always reminds me to study hard to get a good result so that I can get a scholarship to further my studies overseas," she said.

Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort - BTTR

2011-03-20T08:11:00.004+08:00

MIRI: In a forest just 40 minutes by road from here is eco-friendly Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort (BTRR).

Nestled amidst rolling hills adjacent to Lambir National Park, it covers an area of 315ha.

Since its opening in 2007, the resort which is about 36km from here has become a popular spot for corporate team building, motivational activities, hiking, angling and other outdoor activities.

The latest attraction is a water park described by resort owner Henry Law Ing Hua, 60, as “the biggest in Sarawak and the only one in the jungle in Malaysia”.

There are two pools (one for adults and the other for children) with slides (13m high and sloping down for 36m), tunnel slide and mini slide for children.

Law said his ultimate dream was to build a resort city in the jungle, incorporating nature with minimal impact on the natural environment.

So far his multi-million ringgit resort has attracted myriad of visitors, from state leaders, government servants, corporate sector employees, and association members and students to church members and miscellaneous visitors.

On average BTTR receives about 10,000 visitors per year.

“To facilitate movements around the place we have built about 16km of road, and three lakes (with the biggest one about 12ha).

“We also rear lots of fish including the much sought empurau which we sell at RM600 per kg,” said Law.

He is one of those people who believes that if he takes care of the land it would be good to him. Partly for this reason, he feels most at home when he is at the resort.

This son of a farmer from Durin in Sibu has followed in the footsteps of his parents since he was a little boy.

Thus, in the resort he has a 50ha fruit orchard, free range chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep and deer.

The self-sufficient resort gets its own water from the hills.

“It is extremely clean and healthy water,” said Law, adding that as much as possible the resort tries to be prudent in its energy and water usage.

BTTR has 48 chalets, two hostels for about 200 guests, and a camping site that can hold about 500 people at any one time.

The 100 staff members are capable of taking care of an average of 3,000 visitors daily.

Law said for the coming mid-term school holiday, they have a special package for families - free access to the water park for those who have paid the normal entrance fees or stay-in package.

On ordinary days, RM10 is charged for each entry, which is paid on top of other charges.

Senior citizens above the age of 55 get 30% discount for a day’s visit or overnight stay. This is valid until May 31.

Besides the eco-friendly activities, BTTR will hold an international rock concert sometime this year with support from Sarawak Tourism Board.

Law said they were in the process of finalising the arrangements for this event.

The concert has actually been held for the last two years, but on smaller scale with patronage mainly from Brunei.

Oddly, despite the wholesome activities and impressive set-up, the resort has yet to attract many foreign tourists.

But Law is hopeful. He is confident that with more international flights coming to Miri, many tourists would eventually be attracted to the resort.

“We know we have certain attractions based on feedback from some foreign tourists who came to stay with us.

“They were impressed with our tropical rainforest and pristine environment,” he said.

STUDY SMART

2011-03-10T09:57:00.002+08:00

Study smart. Teacher Talk By NITHYA SIDHHU. thestar.com.

Good grades and goals can be achieved if one puts in enough time and effort.

MY students have been asking me how they can prepare themselves better for the coming public examinations. This being exam season, it is not surprising that tensions are running high and examination anxiety is at its peak.

Having studied and observed successful students at school, I can say this much. Free will can change anyone’s destiny. Discipline and hard work pay rich dividends. Desire and ambition can shape lives. Attention and focus shifts the axis. So, in order to do well, there are some simple things that a student can, and ought to, practise.

While I can offer you some guidelines, ultimately, it is the individual who decides which direction his life will take. With dedication and focus, even the impossible can be attained and dreams can be realised.

Pay attention

Here’s what a successful student does: He pays attention. Knowing when to pay heed is a crucial characteristic of the successful.

In class, when a teacher is teaching, the most basic thing a child must do is to listen. George Clooney, the famous actor is quoted to have said: “You never really learn much from hearing yourself talk.”

So, stop the chatting and stop the distracting self-absorption. Pay attention and make note of what is being said and taught by the teacher.

By lending his eyes and ears to the task at hand, a child can absorb a lot in class. In other words, do not defer learning. You would do better, if you learn as much as you can during the time a lesson is taught in class. Pick up the useful tips offered and remember them immediately.

Be disciplined and focused on what is important. So, set aside a daily time to review work and stick to it. This includes doing your homework and reading up.

Parents of successful children have usually ingrained this habit in their young ones from a very early age.

“No TV before school work” is a good adage to follow.

The child must learn to prioritise and understand his responsibility as a student. If there are academic tasks given, these must be accomplished first, before he accords himself any other privilege.

He optimises the use of his time. There are pockets of free time in every school day. A successful student does not fritter away this precious time.

He does as much as he can in whatever time he can find. In this way, he has more time to call his own. Weekends, in particular, are put to good use.

He thinks about what he is doing, plans his work and accomplishes daily goals. This is a form of self-motivation that weak students do not exhibit.

The successful student is always mindful of what needs to be done in a certain time frame and is conscious of the effort, resources and materials he will need in order to achieve set targets.

Make a list

A good thing to do is to write out a “To Do” list for every day, including the weekends.

Even our very own famous Chef Wan has said this before — “In order to be big, you have to think big. If you think small, you’re going to be small.”

A good student is not satisfied in doing just what the teacher has asked him to do. He goes beyond that, seeking a multitude of other exercises to sharpen his mind. He procures information not just from his textbook but also from other books, other teachers, TV, magazines, friends and newspapers. By varying his sources of knowledge, he learns more.

He practices the art of balance. His time is, therefore, divided into periods of work and relaxation. After an hour or two of concentrated work, this student will usually do something else to relax his mind.

He is aware that the mind needs rest, and he accomplishes this by engaging in some physical activity or a game.

Some students just sleep or listen to music. Or, take a ride on a bike. Essentially, their bodies and mind are not wound tight. They learn to handle stress.

A good student usually seeks out mentors and guides. Somehow, successful people realise that learning is best done when it is skillfully guided by those who are more knowledgeable or wise. Thus, they spend some time each day in the company of such people.

Unafraid to seek help, they make the most of the mental wealth and the wise ways of others who are superior to them.

In the Beijing Olympics, Mongolia got the chance to celebrate its first-ever Olympic gold medal — a win proffered by traditional wrestler Tuvshinbayar Naidan. He won the gold by beating Kazakhstan’s Askhat Zhitkeyev in the men’s 100-kg class.

When interviewed after his victory, Naidan said:“The first thing I thought of was my parents and my coach.”

See what I mean?

You need mentors to be successful. They are the ones who train, guide, nurture and mould you.

Remembering all this will help make you a successful student. Good luck and happy studying.

new perodua Myvi

2011-03-07T23:23:00.005+08:00

Perodua’s new MD Aminar Rashid Salleh unveiled toUtusan Malaysia that we can expect a new Perodua Myvi somewhere around April 2011, with a Myvi SE to be launched a couple of months later around June 2011. He also revealed that a new 1.5 liter variant of the Myvi is in the works. This makes sense since they are already making the transverse-install front wheel drive 1.5 liter 3SZ-VE engine for the Alza, why not put it in the Myvi?

Apparently the new Myvi will have a new look. It’s actually about time for the Myvi to be refreshed, so Perodua is pretty much on schedule for a typical 5 year lifecycle with a facelift in the middle. The Myvi was launched in May 2005 and after 5 years, time for a replacement in the first half of 2011. If you remember, in mid-February we saw the Myvi’s Japanese cousin refreshed with a new look. Frankly, I don’t expect the Myvi to look 100% like that model as with each new rebadge product, Perodua has been moving away further and further from the JDM model’s exterior and interior.

I feel Toyota/Daihatsu has been slowly moving their JDM models to target specific niche markets with very tailor-made products. They have so many little cars based on the same platform over there in Japan, and from the marketing material of the new Passo/Boon, it’s quite obvious that the car is now targeted towards young ladies. In Malaysia, the Myvi is a unisex mass market car, so I’m expecting both exterior and interior styling to differ significantly in the details, while generally keeping the same shape.

Look at the related link below to find out more about the new Passo.

MAXIS profit increases

2011-02-28T18:30:00.005+08:00

Malaysian mobile phone operator Maxis Bhd reported a 21 per cent increase in quarterly profit driven by higher revenue from data services, and warned of further pressure on tariffs and operating margins from cut-throat competition.

Income from data services is expected to be the key growth driver for Malaysia’s telecom operators this year as the country’s broadband usage remained low at 55 percent of the population at end-2010.
“The driver of revenue growth for the foreseeable future is from the increasing demand for wireless broadband, internet access and other non-voice services,” said Maxis, Malaysia’s second biggest mobile phone operator by market capitalisation.
Maxis posted a net profit of RM610 million for October-December, up from RM503 million a year earlier and slightly above the RM609 million average forecast of three analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Net profit for the full year was 2.3 billion, matching the 2.3 billion ringgit consensus forecast of 25 analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters, led by higher income from data and wireless broadband services.
Regional telecommunication companies are facing a rapid decline in traditional fixed-line phone services and are having to spend more to win back customers.
Maxis’ mobile subscriptions rose by 14 per cent to 13.9 million in 2010, with prepaid and wireless broadband up by 1.4 million and 330,000 subscriptions respectively.
The company said it would pay a final dividend of eight sen per share.

Professionals and top execs set for huge increments

2011-02-28T10:33:00.004+08:00

PETALING JAYA: Professionals from the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, accounting and finance industry, banking, logistics and sales have a lot to cheer about this year – their salaries are set to rise by as much as 30% compared with last year.

The Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2011 for Malaysia has revealed that a wage increase of between 5% and 30% would sweep across these industries this year, partially influenced by inflation rates and market conditions.

The take-home salaries could, in fact, be much higher as these figures are exclusive of bonuses, other benefits and allowances.

Highly-qualified employees with five to 10 years’ experience are expected to benefit from this salary increase as firms in these industries are scrambling to hire and retain the best talents.

“The job market has gradually moved to become more employee-driven. Some firms are even willing to offer premiums to attract good local and foreign talent with niche skills,” Robert Walters country manager Sally Raj told The Star yesterday.

“Salary reviews can range from 5% to 15% depending on market conditions.

“The real jump in salary scale can be seen among sought-after talent – going from 10% to 30%,” she said.

For example, a 29-year-old top investment banker with some six years of working experience can earn up to RM180,000 per annum on his basic salary, she added.

Robert Walters, which has a presence in 20 countries, is among the world’s major professional recruitment consultancies.

It is to release the findings of the survey today.

According to the survey, the banking sector will see the biggest salary boom as the wage bracket for investment bankers with five to eight years of work experience increased from RM180,000 to RM288,000 per annum this year, compared with RM157,000 to RM240,000 last year.

Private equity bankers with the same number of years in work experience also saw their salaries upped from RM160,000 to RM264,000, compared with RM126,000 to RM240,000 last year.

In the ICT industry, software, voice and network engineers are expected to see up to a RM5,000 increase in their annual earnings and business application specialists, up to RM10,000 this year.

In the accounting and finance sector, cost controllers and auditors may stand to earn up to RM10,000 more while wages for account managers in charge of taxation and pricing may make some RM20,000 more.

Kuala Lumpur - among the world's top cities

2011-02-25T20:48:00.001+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: It comes as no surprise to City Hall that Euromonitor International has ranked Kuala Lumpur fourth among the world's top cities visited by tourists.

In an effort to promote the city further, City Hall will continue its efforts to attract locals to participate in events organised to promote tourism.
One such effort was the Formula One Malaysia Cultural Festival held at Bintang Walk during the Formula One 2010.

During the event, local dancers taught tourists how to do the joget lambak.

This phenomenon occurs when water that seeps into the Earth is heated by magma; molten rock located beneath the surface of the Earth.The Earth’s pressure then causes the water to again rise above the surface, forming a natural hot spring.

Some of the hot springs sites in Malaysia have become tourist destinations with fringe attractions and facilities such as souvenir shops, hotels and restaurants to accommodate visitors fascinated by this natural wonder. The restaurants on site are equipped with changing rooms for traveling visitors.

TOKYO RENTS ARE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE

2011-02-23T23:17:00.001+08:00

Rents are on the rise in Asia spurred on by strong economic growth among most of its economies, according to the latest accommodation reports published by ECA International. Tokyo is the most expensive location globally for two-bedroom rental property. The Japanese capital is followed by Hong Kong (3rd in the global rankings), Singapore (5), Seoul (15) and Shanghai (24).

In Singapore, the recession along with a wave of new housing hitting the market prompted rental prices for an unfurnished two bedroom property to fall by approximately 17% in 2009, according to the report data. However, this pattern was reversed last year when rents rose 15% to US$2,810 a month. Singapore rose from 6th to 5th position in the overall ranking.

"The rebound in Singapore has been driven by a general recovery in house prices along with increased demand," said Lee Quane, Regional Director, ECA Asia. "Assignee numbers are up again in Singapore following falls during the economic downturn. This has placed pressure on rental accommodation, particularly in areas popular with expatriates."

"Land in Hong Kong is already expensive due to the lack of space," said Quane. "Additionally, low interest rates, high liquidity in the market and a shortage of supply have contributed to pushing rents up."

In Karachi where a two-bedroom apartment is on average 17 times cheaper than in Tokyo.

SNAKES A TOURISM ASSET TO PERLIS

KANGAR, Feb 20 (Bernama) - Snakes, some of which can be venomous, will continue to be promoted as a tourism asset to Perlis.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Md Isa Sabu said the people need to change their mindset about snakes and make friends and not enemies out of them.

"The snake park opened in the early 1980s is the largest in the country," he said at Perlis Snake and Reptile Park in Sungai Batu Pahat, near here Sunday.

Md Isa was happy that the park's management had lined-up various programmes to attract more visitors to the park.

Meanwhile, Perlis Snake and Reptile Park manager Tengku Nooriah Tengku Mahmud said the park is home to 382 snakes from 29 species.

Some 200,000 people visited the snake park last year while 250,000 are expected this year.
