Feb Week 4

Ever since last year, I have already been excited about the English class drama for Form5. After going through many problems, our drama was over. We started the script early because we thought that the actors and actresses would need lots of practice. Our first meeting was in January at Starbucks. Only 6 people showed up that day namely me, Sze Yuin, Jia Yin, Pei Ming, Esther and Zhi Hao. I was quite disappointed with the fact that not many people showed support at the beginning. In the first meeting, we thought of the plot of the drama and decided to go with the good versus evil theme. On that day, we have decided on the characters and who would be playing the roles. But of course things changed along the way and ended up fine. Weeks have passed until the script was completed. Things even got a little messy because of uncooperative people. Not only that, some even demanded for a main role. Because of that, many new characters were created to satisfy them. I even had a little argument with my dear friend. 

two weeks before the drama competition, Mun Yan, who was supposed to be the actress of Bridgett was busy with her swimming competition so I became Bridgett for awhile because according to my friends, I can act as a bimbo chick. Not that I agree. But overall it was a fun experience and I really enjoyed acting. The next week everyone was practicing really hardly because the competition is only a few days away. They all did really well in playing their parts.

On the day of the competition, I was feeling very nervous for everyone even though I only play the part of supporting Vladimir, the villain. When the drama started, everyone did well as expected except for the prefect from another class who messed up the music. Even though some of the lines were wrong, they managed to form their own sentences with the same meaning. I was really proud of my class that day. We took pictures as a class after our drama. This drama has united our class into one big family. I can feel the unbreakable bond between us that day. This is really something I would remember for life and this is how I want my senior year to be like. I love my class 5 Belian.

Feb Week 3

This week, the exam timetable was out. I am not prepared at all to sit for the upcoming test. I promised myself to start studying next week and I hope that I will keep that promise. In school, I got to act as the character Bridgett in our class drama because Mun Yan was busy with her swimming competitions. It was a fun experience indeed. The most exciting thing of the week was rocking out at Avril Lavigne's live concert, The Black Star Tour at Stadium Merdeka with my friend.  

Me and my friends arrived at Stadium Merdeka at about 5.30p.m. and waited for one and a half hour before entering the stadium. We hurried to the best seats we could find and enjoyed the music by the DJ while waiting for the pop star to show up. It even started raining but we managed to get raincoats so we would not get wet. Not too long after, Avril was on stage performing all my favourite songs . I danced and sang along to all the songs ignoring the rain. Too bad all good things have to come to an end. After the concert, I bought some of her fabulous merchandises there to remember the concert forever. I only got home at about 12.00a.m.. I was still feeling excited when I got to bed.

Feb Week 2


This week, i got to go on a vacation because of the public holidays on Monday and Tuesday. I went to "Pangkor Laut Resort Spa Village" for three days and two nights. On Sunday, I had to wake up at 6.30 a.m. to begin the journey to Perak. After a long drive of 3 hours, we reached the jetty and handed our luggage for the people in charge to bring aboard the journey. We took a speedboat to the beautiful island. The ride took approximately 15 minutes. I somehow wish the ride would take longer because I was really enjoying the breeze.

When i stepped on the island, I could feel that soft feeling of the pure white sands on my soles. It was amazing. I just could not wait to swim in the crystal clear seal waters. We hurried and unpack before having lunch at a poolside restaurant. The meal was very satisfying. I had a dish called spicy meatballs. After that, I hopped into my swimsuit and took a ride to the other side of the island which consist of the finest beach on the island. I really enjoyed myself there. The three days of my vacation I wish would last longer. But unfortunately, my wish never came true. School was back in no time and I had to be serious in my studies once again.

Journal 2 (Week 1 Feb)

Feb Week 1


Just a basic week of school with all my friends. On Monday, me and my friends went to try the food at "Duduk" cafe after school. The food there was not bad at all. They even have brownies which I love. After that we went back to school to attend the chess and scrabble club as usual. I finally got to win a round of chess. After chess club I had to rush to my additional mathematics tuition at "Teliti" tuition centre. I was a hectic day but I still enjoy it otherwise. On Thursday that week, me and my friends went to this new physics tuition together. The lesson helped me a lot but I feel uncomfortable there sometimes because of the unnecessary sick jokes made my the tutor. But overall I think the tuition is helping me in my studies so I will be attending the lesson for the year. I hope after putting up with all these I will manage to get an A+ in my SPM examinations.

Crime At The Polar-Ice Cap

By Tan Li Ling

At about 12.15 p.m. Saturday, there was a fight that took place at the polar-ice cap. I was required to follow the Marines from the ship to rescue the victims. As I approached the glacier, there was two tractors moving on an unsafe land. One tailing the other. When the tractor stopped, we heard a gun shot coming from the tractor. A man that got shot was lying on the freezing cold snow which was poured with blood. The man fortunately survived the incident. Not too long after, a man from the vehicle started attacking the person who shot the man and managed to kill him after awhile. Unfortunately, the criminal escaped with a hostage using the tractor but fell into a crevasse. A scientist hurried over and dropped a rope then jumped  down. The hostage was rescued and the criminal was no where to be found. The crevasse was then closed up leaving the criminal inside.

January 2012

Its a new year ! yeah ! It is senior year for me. But nothing much has changed from last year

because all my classmates are the same. Most of the days of school were filled with piling homework of every subject which causes me a headache. Plus tuition on the side. What a combination. I guess this year is more stressful compared to last year because I will be sitting for SPM at the end of the year. For the moment, I am still not studying much. I prefer to enjoy my senior year before starting to focus on SPM. I am not too sure if that is a good thing though. It might be a little early to think of prom but I can't help but feel excited for the one night that will bring all the seniors together for a memorable time. Furthermore, the school's senior drama competition is coming up. My friend, Sze Yuin was elected as scriptwriter. We all worked together to get it done. But sadly we did not get much response from the rest of the class. I hope they be more enthusiastic about the drama or else it just won't do.

Besides that, Chinese New Year has been a very enjoyable week for me. Besides having my closet filled with new clothes, I got to celebrate it with all my beloved family members. On Chinese New Year eve, I went back to my father's side hometown which is located at Padang Serai, Kedah. I immediately hugged my cousins, uncles and aunts the moment i saw them. I really missed all of them. That same night me and my family had a family gathering with more than 90 relatives. At 12.00a.m. we lit the whole sky with fireworks and firecrackers that sounded like an exploding atom bomb. It was so unimaginable to see them ignite the sky right before my eyes. It was really awesome. The next day, which was the first day of Chinese New Year, we visited my mother's side hometown which is in Penang. We received numerous red packets from our close relatives. I really enjoyed the meals prepared by my grandaunt. Especially her scrumptious yam cake. Yum yum ! After lunch, we went to The Gurney Hotel with both my father and mothers' side of relatives. This year is extra special because my cousins from all over the world have the time to return to Malaysia for the celebrations. They came from Taiwan, Singapore, Australia and even London. We had 3 connecting suites plus 2 basic rooms to fit our family which consist of about 38 members. It was really a party worth remembering. For dinner, we had barbecue using an electric grill in the hotel room. We even covered the fire alarm to prevent the smoke from setting it off. Chinese New Year is really one celebration that i look forward to every year. Unfortunately, the week was gone in the twinkling of an eye.

After Chinese New Year, school is back. Again ! Me and my friends attened a new physics tuition known as Mr. Phang. It was rather heart-pounding as he kept throwing questions us. I only managed to answer a few questions. Me and my lovely friends also finished our add math 3D project which is a barbie doll house. It was very tiring but the result are satisfying. I hope to work with them soon again. Wish for many more great moments in the future.
