High School

It has not struck me yet that I am already in form five, a senior. Back then when I was in primary school, I always looked up to the secondary students in light blue pinafore and dark green pants and thought that it would be a long more time before I would wear that light blue uniform. Those five years felt like yesterday. 

Secondary school life has much responsibilities and molding processes. Even though there are many stressful times where I have to complete piles of homework and projects, there were fun times too where I can look back at and laugh at them. I found the co-curriculum activities useful to see where my strength and weaknesses are. It helped me sharpen my leadership skills and gave me confidence.

 

I was told by my seniors and sister that I should enjoy my high school life as much as I can as life gets harder as I get older and move on to university but I found it hard to be true as I thought I still have lots of time in school. Well, its not too late to realize that I have only 10 more months in this school. Even though I am happy to start a new chapter in life, it saddens me that I have to leave. I hope that the coming months ahead will be fruitful ones and that there will be no regrets at the end of the year.

Reaching Out In Times Of Need

The recent floods in mid December was one of the greatest calamity in Malaysian history. The locals of Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang lost many of their belongings and homes. It claimed the lives of many regardless of young and old. Little children became orphans and many loved ones were lost. This tragedy caused much grieve not only to the victims but also to the other citizens on Malaysia. As the saying goes, when one part of the body suffers, the rest of the body suffers. People from different states and organizations came together and offered help and support to these states regardless of race and religion. Not only basic necessities were donated but emotional support was also provided. The Malaysian government also made efforts to ease the burdens of the flood victims by distributing the BR1M aid earlier than the planned dateline. 

This disaster has thought us all not to take for-granted whether it is our love ones or comfortable lives that we have.
