The Speech

The weak and frail girl was invited to deliver a speech during the introduction night of the school. The girl did what she could, she prepared her script and braced herself, hoping not to reveal her nervousness on stage. She was afraid that she would stutter and gave in to her fear. It ended well. All hail to Miss Rowena for nurturing her into a speaker who can talk bravely on stage.

The Student

There was a student who had very high expectation of herself. She hoped to score the highest marks in all the courses she was enrolled in. But little did she know there would always be somebody else better than her. She felt depressed, unwilling to embrace reality. Nothing can stop her tears. 

No one can stop her tears, but herself. She realised that the only way to satisfy her expectation would be to work harder than ever before. You stand up at the place you fall. This is the golden rule of the universe. Nobody can help you to achieve your dreams but yourself. Strive harder, do your best and hope for the best. Remember, great success does not come with little effort. Small people can also do great things. 

The Girl

The girl, who has a lot of things on her mind.

The girl, who is both the Head of Division of Wushu and the Secretary of Chemistry Society.

The girl, who was forced into becoming a committee member of the Mandarin Librarian Unit.

The girl, who has a lot of pending tasks and assignments.

The girl, who is deprived of sleep.

The girl, who has insomnia almost every night.

The girl.

Gasping for breath, yearning for rest.

The girl is exhausted.

The Fall

It was a quiet and starry night when a sudden weakness engulfed me and the strength in my legs gave away. Starting to fall in a forward manner, my left knee involuntarily knelt down, hoping to protect my body from making contact with the rough ground. Instead, my left knee took the toll. The moment the flesh embedded into the jagged and uneven tar road, blood gushed out from my knee. Oh, it looks terrible, I thought. And indeed, upon closer inspection, the wound had the size of an old 50 cent coin, while at the same time, I noticed tiny tar fragments and specks of dust sticking on my seemingly serious wound.

The First Impression

It has been five days since my arrival at Perak Matriculation College. And if you ask me to enumerate about these few days, I would say, they were hellish but in the same time, exciting and thrilling.

What have I been through? Endless morning exercise programs and games, and when there are games, punishments ensue. Well, these interesting games were designed and organised by our seniors.  Not to boast, but de facto, I wholeheartedly felt that the games were flawless and enjoyable. I really loved them and look forward to every morning session during the MBPP (orientation) week.

The seniors are just like our elder brothers or sisters. If you have any inquiries or even dilemmas, you can just ask them without feeling shy. They would explain and share their experiences happily and willingly, well, except for questions like whether they are still single or not. They are friendly, and I really love all of them.

And I really enjoyed the moral sessions, where seniors explained things related to academic and co-curriculum. And the talk by Mr David? Wow, awesome. I have never seen the teachers in my previous schools to take such interesting initiative to remove the gap between teachers and students. You know what? The lecturer, the LECTURER, sang the song Let It Go in front of us, with cape, fake snow and, what's even more astonishing is that he even danced according to the official music video! Can you imagine that? I was so dazed and shocked that I thought I forgot to breathe. Interesting, very interesting.

I went to bed at 11.00pm and woke up at 3.40am. For your information, the morning sessions were held at 5.45am. If you are late for even a minute, oh dear, you are done for. Punishments. As I had only 4 to 5 hours sleep, I slept like a log, in contrast to those who still couldn't get used to the bed here.

Lastly, I would like to use this opportunity to express gratitude to our lovely and amiable seniors. Thank you for what you guys have done for us and good luck in your university days. Arigatō!

My Hobby, Again

I resume playing Heroes of Order and Chaos again, since I am not studying right now, I do not need to worry about the consequences of engrossing in that addictive game. Firstly, I like taking the role of support, aiding my team's fighters and mages. In fact, I am pretty good in using fox, whose role is to heal its teammates and buff them with protective spells. However, you must be able run fast, since healers are always targeted in a war.

Secondly, tank is my favourite too. Maybe I like supportive roles? I like using fish since it is a daunting task to kill it as it has almost unlimited amount of health point.

Thirdly, I like both fighters and mages equally. I used to like offensive heroes but now I don't feel like playing them as most of the players like using them. Therefore, I have no choice but to use guardians and supports to balance to team.

My Favourite Heroes
- Scoundrel
- King Reega
- Lebmont
- Equellia
- Ihaelryna
- Migrove

And I am not a professional player nor a ranker since I just play to pass time. That's all.

A New Journey, Another Story

I am going to enroll in Matriculation College soon, and I have mixed feelings about this imminent trip. Excited and frightened at the same time. Am I able to overcome the trials and tribulations of this new journey? Do I have the ability to fend for myself?

Anxious and afraid, I am. But I will still proceed with it. There is no point making baseless assumptions before I see things for myself. I will never know the sweetness of the grapes if I declare that they are sour even before tasting them. So what, go for it!

Someone asked me that whether I will feel homesick or not.

I replied, "I will only know it if I am there,"

You will never know unless you try it.

But I am sure that I will, just as the rest of the boarding school students. The life there might be thrilling and intriguing, however, we will still miss our parents and siblings at some point. So, when this happen, I will make sure that I drop my mother a line through Whatsapp and call them when I have free time on my hands.

So, what to do now? Help my family members with chores willingly. I certainly do not want to leave a bad last impression to them.
