Exactly.....what a week.The week started off with a feeling of suspense as the teachers were going to return our exam papers.Every one seemed worried about their results.......but many just hid them with happy discussions about the World Cup matches.This is how I fared in all the papers:
BM.....or for those who don't know......Bahasa Melayu.......I was pretty delighted with the results as I don't usually score much in this paper.
English........for the first time in my life,my BM marks are higher than my English marks.I was quite careless in the essay,making a lot of spelling mistakes.....which cost me dearly.
Mathematics and Additional Mathematics.......nothing much to say......a few careless mistakes here and there....but I was satisfied.
History......I love this subject but maybe I need to prepare more for it.I didn't understand a few questions.....which cost me dearly.Luckily,I only lost a few marks because of this.
Moral.....till today,I still wonder if Malaysians will change if they memorise moral values and sit for exams.To me,it doesn't sound logical at all.Nevertheless,I have no choice but to memorise the meaning of the values just to score in my paper.The marks were OK......so girls.......boys have good moral values instilled in them too.
Science subjects....Physics,Chemistry and Biology......I was a little disappointed but my optimistic nature worked very quickly after I had received marks.I'm now determined to learn from the mistakes I've done this time so that I would not repeat the same thing next time.
Well....my marks were OK this time.I am satisfied but determined to improve the next time."Report Card Day" is next week am I left wondering about my mum's response once she sees my results......till then I'll just be patient.
I feel pitiful for some my friends who didn't do so well this time.They looked so sad,speechless and some were even devastated.It's OK guys......there's always time to improve.Try your best next time.I'll help you if you need it.Just take this tip..........Do you know what the biggest room in the world is?......It's the Room For Improvement...........

Prince Of Persia:The Sands Of Time
I had been waiting to watch this movie ever since I saw the trailer before watching 2012.The trailer looked so classic and I always love movies which have elements of Middle-Age history and warfare......and of course not to forget magic.I always love movies with magic.The interest for magic occurred in me ever since I watched my first Harry Potter movie.And I still love magical elements in movies till today.
It had been a tiring day that Thursday.I had training in the morning.....mini-hurdles exercise.This particular exercise needs a person to use his or her explosive muscle strength in the legs to complete the exercise well.It requires power,control and body coordination.I was exhausted but I didn't want to miss the movie because I had already made a promise to my friends.
Since it was a week day,both my parents had gone to work.I had to go to Aeon myself......walking.I didn't mind the 2-3 km walk because I had done it so many times.Many would think that I'm crazy but I just ignore them.My legs were very painful....but I took the walk as a kind of training for me.
Once I reached Aeon,I was shocked to see so many teenagers in the shopping mall.Every corner I turned,I was saying "hi" to some one.I saw some classmates....a few school mates......one or two tuition mates and one athletics friend.And not to forget.....I saw some of my ex-school mates.....some left school after Form 5-Wee Jin and Izzat......and I think I saw Jessica....but she looked a little different...so I wasn't really sure if it was her.It was like going to school again....
We.....Eong Wei,Thaven,Manish and me met up at the cinema.Manish was a surprise inclusion to our outing.We invited him to join us because Thaven said that he was feeling very bored at home.It wasn't a bad idea as Tim and Teju could not make it.
The movie was great indeed.As I said earlier,I was really fascinated by the mix of classical Middle-Age story and a little magic.It's basically a story of how a member of the royal family tries to overthrow his brother as king by going back in time.To do so,he needed to obtain a special dagger that could turn back time.The main hero would run away with the heroine to protect the dagger.The story line was OK,but the fighting scenes and graphics were pure class.I really liked the movie.
As usual,we headed off to the arcade after having our meal.We played the same games again.......but never once felt bored playing them.This time,it was even more fun as we were given to access to "deleted scenes in movies".I think you might have just understood me.Actually,we saw a guy riding a toy horse while trying to win a game.It was very funny and many people were laughing at that guy....but he really didn't mind.In the end,his competitor,a girl proved that she had more power than him......*laughs*.....
As the watch flashed the numbers 6.15,I knew that it was time to go home.I bade farewell to everyone and headed back home.It was another great outing with friends.......a very funny one I can say.I'm not sure about our next outing.....but I really hope that all my friends would be able to make it the next time.........a Pen Club reunion would be fantastic............

Penang Trip
About a week ago,my family went for a trip to Penang.......Malaysia's food paradise.And it does live up to it's name.There was food at almost every corner........many types of food.The food ranged from Chinese to American with one or two restaurants offering Middle Eastern cuisine and European meals.I tried to try the various types of food as much as I could and I was always very full by the end of the day.
Gurney Drive.........is the centre of the food business in Penang.It is known nationwide for the variety of food sold there.I was shocked to see how big Gurney Drive was.In my whole life,this was the first time that I saw such a long stretch of food stalls........all in one place.My family managed to get a place to sit in the crowded place.I tried out the food that was most widely associated with Penang.......the asam laksa.It was OK......I liked the soup......although I didn't really like the noodles.After having some "sotong bakar" ,I headed off to the mamak stall.
I think you must have guessed.........for what else.........obviously to kick start my World Cup campaign.The biggest football competition in the world had returned after four years.As usual,I was supporting Argentina.It is always nice to kick start the World Cup with a big crowd.My father and I each bought a drink and watched the matches till 12.00 and then returned to our hotel.
I also managed to watch Karate Kid in during my trip.Jaden Smith is really good at acting especially while making his jokes.The crowd were very lively and they laughed even for the smallest jokes during the movie.Overall,it was a very great movie to watch.
Although my family didn't really visit any of the interesting places in Penang,I still enjoyed the trip because I had fun and found an escape route from my usual lifestyle.It was relaxing and I'll surely return next time.......maybe after a long time because I want to discover the beauty of our country in other places as well..........

Memories Of The Past II
About a few weeks ago,it was Teacher's Day.There was a celebration in my school with lots of activities for the teachers.That's when I suddenly felt that I missed my primary school teachers a lot.The atmosphere........their dedicated teaching.......friends and so many things.......I remember them very well till this day.The most unforgettable one will be the last day at my primary school..........I still remember all those sad faces.....sobbing and unwilling to be separated from their childhood friends.
Well,that day had passed a long time ago and the feeling is still fresh in my heart.So............I decided to go back to my primary school to pay a visit to my teachers.But......there was a problem........to get into the school compound.The guard is very strict and does not allow outsiders into the school compound.
Luckily,I met my teacher who was walking to school at that time.He managed to take Simon,Thaven,my sister and I into the school.We wished him Happy Teacher's Day and went to look for our old teachers.
Our teachers were delighted to see us paying them a visit especially on a special occasion like that.My teachers remember me very well because I make sure I visit them at least twice a year.One of the teachers had told us this "It is so nice for you to come and visit me again.I feel so nice to see my old students again".Her words really touched my heart.It made me realise that a simple visit to someone can make that person very happy.
When I first joined my second primary school in Standard 4,I had this English teacher.She was strict and practically terrified every student.When I saw her on that day again after a long time,she didn't look like the strict teacher at all.Not to forget,I can still remember a lot of things that she taught me back then.She was one teacher who had helped me to improve my vocabulary.
One more teacher that I'll never forget is my discipline teacher.He was tall.....big sized.....loud....and obviously strict.I used to be scared of him when he taught me in Standard 5 and 6.I would make sure that I finish the homework given by him.Now.....I'm about his height and he talks to me in a very friendly manner.I surely wont forget all my other teachers who had helped me a lot in achieving many things during my time in my primary school.
I also took this opportunity to walk and look around my old school.I realised that I could easily touch the roofs of the pathways which seemed so high back then.Memories of playing "catching-catching" flashed back in my mind as I walked past the area in front of the Standard 4 block.Even the basketball hoops seemed so low when compared to last time.
As I walked away from the school's compound,I felt disappointed that my time in the school had to end so fast.I know that I'll be back sooner or later.I also realised that I will feel the same thing in the future when I finally leave school after SPM.One thing is for sure.......the last day of SPM will be the saddest day of my entire life.................

Post-exam Feelings
Well,my mid-term examination just ended yesterday.I was quite relived to be free form the stress due to exam pressure.It wasn't very stressful but I'm just not used to even a little stress.Whenever I feel stressed,I just seem to find a way to get out of it..............through the holes and cracks that shed light in life.
My friends still wonder and ask me about how I actually handle exam pressure.They always see me so relaxed before papers when everybody else is so busy with last minute revision.I don't know why but I just can't seem to get the mood to read in school.I just take exams as something not very significant in life.Most parents would disagree because their children's SPM is the most important thing to them.My parents say the same thing too.I understand their concern........but the truth is..........life has so much more to offer.
Now that the examinations are over,I feel relieved to have some extra sleep.Although I'm used to getting only a few hours of sleep everyday,I know that it is not good for health.........so it's time to sleep this holidays.
I'm also feeling quite bored now.Holidays are always the same........boring .......boring ........boring. Many would disagree with me but I just don't feel the fun during holidays.I prefer to go to school and enjoy with my friends.
Happy.....happy.....happy........That's exactly how I feel now.I have resumed training and I'm much more determined to excel next year.My coach had changed our training program so that we can improve a lot to face the tough competition next year.I'm surely going to use this holiday to push myself further.It is very tiring to train after school.I always struggle to put up my best in training after school.So,I'm going to use this holidays to get really fit.
To kill my boredom,I still have my Moral folio to do.I've decided to complete it together with other homework during the first week of the holidays.Hope I'll achieve my target.I just hope that the two weeks will pass like running water in a river so that I can resume my normal life as soon as possible.Till then,I've just got to be patient.........
