Whales : An Innocent Death As the gentle giants swim through the sea, Not expecting a thing, A sharp metal object is heading their way, And they feel a sharp sting. They don't know what happened, But they feel a lot of pain, The innocent creatures, Are pulled up by a chain . Now they've figured it out, They know what's going on, A whaling harpoon has hit them, A massive violent gun .

Meaning, we did not have to attend any of the classes but we were given tasks by our lecturers and presumed to be done during that week. As for Dr. Izaham's class, he had given us a task by attending a seminar called as Malaysian Education Dean's Council which was held at DK500.
