A pity Chinese student

I had finished up reading a Chinese novel this morning, it was a romantic fiction. I was feeling so good when I closed up the last page of the novel. I scarcely remembered when was the last time I read a Chinese novel. Since I entered into secondary school, most of the that I read was in Malay language and English language. Every time I went into a bookstore, I just picked up the Malay and English books for the reason read more to improve my languages other than my mother tongue. You see, out of the twelve subjects, there is one and the only one subject is in Chinese language. That made me Chinese was not as good as it used to be and I felt that it's lagged behind, sometimes, even a simple word, I can hardly remember how to write. So it is very true that practice make perfect.

You know, it's pity being a student taking chinese in my school, there are no particular classroom for the chinese lesson. The teacher and students are responsible to find the class. What make thing worse is, our school do not have extra classes. We study in everywhere, almost all the classrooms in MES (when the classroom was empty), library, laboratory and computer class. I think we haven't been forced to study in canteen for time being. Haha... Sometimes, we will have to shift to another place while the lesson is still going on because XX class students have to study in this laboratory, can't they go to the other laboratory? Why on earth they want to lock the other laboratory? I really hate this kind of disturbance. I think no one will diagree if I say we are like the nomad in the school.

It's not over yet ~

Finally, I get to drop some lines here. It's holiday now! Yea... Well, my trial is not over yet, still have to sit for BK, so I have to back to the exam on the next Wednesday after next. Yea... I still have to do Sivik and PJK test but I will not touch those book, it is unnecessary and unimportant (because it's not in our SPM), for Sivik, just answer like what you did in moral test, as for PJK, just tembaklah. Guys, how's your trial? Mine, was just plain bad... it's really frightening to think of the result. BUCK UP! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Elaine today! (It's Elaine Pak, not Elaine Khong)
 
Nothing special about school life recently, as you know, is on trial and we were just busy filling forms and forms. Well guys, enjoy your holiday... For those who want to do revision, GAMBATEH! 


A prayer as we are preparing for the exam:   



“Lord, give me peace as I open my books and notes.
Grant me a clarity of mind as I prepare for BK and other subjects in my SPM.

Give me insight and wisdom to understand those things that are not clear.
As I read and learn – this is a part of my discipleship.
If I am tense, worried and anxious, I ask for your peace and calm.

Let my mind be rested, my body energized
And my spirit inspired for this exam I have to take.

Give me peace and confidence to do my best.
So that I can reap the rewards of my study.

Be with my friends too
So that they can do well in their study and exam as well.
Christ the Lord I pray,   
Amen."

Gimme a BREAK

We have a short break for today because we don't have to sit for exam on Friday. With Jiin's help, I manage to find two sets of music sheets. I already fed up with non-ceased revision so just forget about the revision and practice.

Today is unusual

Could you imagine that on the first day of your SPM forecast exam, your school was flooded due to the heavy rain in the morning? The exam hall was usually a dead room, quiet, still, everyone was studying very hard at the very eve of the exam, all of us delved into the books and no distraction could shift our attention. But today was different. As I say it was raining cats and dogs just now, many parts of TM was flooded they say, same to our school. Low landscape, bad drainage system, MES had always become MES Lake. You can see fishes, eels, toads or snakes if you are lucky, or unlucky.

The further I went in the school, the deeper the water was. It was soppy when the water got into my shoes. Then I sat in the exam hall and watched the people passed through the corridor, luckily the water didn't flow into the hall. The exam was bustling. I found that 95% of the students walking in the water in their shoes, only 5% of them walking barefoot in the water with their shoes in their hands. This 5% students are smart. I guess no one is willing to wear a pair of wet shoes throughout a day. Ka Man and Vikhna even more clever, they stepped on the chairs, and move another chair to the front to do the walking, three to four chair they used I guess ( Kaman, correct me if you see this) like the game we used to play in the Sports Camp.

The hall was damp, wet and it was more merrier than usual. Well, just imagine 50% of the candidates went through they exam without wearing the shoes! We did! What a joke!
