Journal 1 (january)

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.
