January 1-31st

Year 2012, a year which will end my schooling life as well as determine how will I fare outside.

Thus my wings are clipped,

Only looking at the blue sky,

Whenever my head starts to dip,

I try and try until I can fly.

What a month it was. A start of a brand new year, new class and many others. To me however, I feel that the start of this year quite depressing. It is because two of my good friends had to leave Malaysia and it'll be a long time since I'll ever meet up with them again. Nevertheless I will strive to improve myself in order for them to be able to call me friend. 


Anyways, enough of the depressing stuff, I had myself a new hairdo as my friends have noticed.

Before

After

And this is the product of it.

For the beginning of the year, it meant that tuitions and curriculum activities have again started for students in SMKDJ. Among these curriculum activities, I was anointed as the head of the chess and scrabble club as well as the head of sports in my school house 'Hebat'. Thus, many responsibilities were thrust towards me and I had to make sure that I carry it out to the letter. I hope my new year's resolution has not yet wavered as I continue to pursue what I want in life.


In school, several things have changed since last year. Such as the transfer of Encik Khairul or more commonly known as 'Mr K'. I feel that this is quite unfair as my friend Emir is still in SMKDJ but the father is transferred to another school thus making it inconvenient for both father and son. Anyways besides that the food served in the school canteen is sadly the same since last year. I had hoped for an improvement but it was not forthcoming and so I go without eating recess everyday. This isn't such a big issue to me because I usually go for prayer meetings with my friends from CF.


One thing I dislike is music made by drums alone. Recently, I went to KLCC for a concert which my mom had gotten complimentary tickets. The concert was a great show and I liked it but what I did not like was after the concert when we came out. There was a lot of drums staged in the middle of KLCC and my mom wanted to watch it and so we stayed for a while. And for that short while, I have come to dislike drums played alone. You see, when drums are playing, I feel that my blood begins to boil, and my temper becomes short, in other words, I felt angry at who or what I do not know. All because of that incident, I feel that I do not want myself to become like that and I dislike drums for making me so. 


Onward to the next topic : Chinese New Year.  This year's harvest was pretty good but I cannot say for absolute certainty that it beats last year's crop but anyways I'll just be contented with what I have. For this year's Chinese New Year (CNY), I went back to Sitiawan where my hometown is located. There I met my grandfather and my other relatives as well. My uncle took us to his prawn/fish farm where he reared fish and prawns which was usual and wanted to let us fish but unfortunately, all the big ones were recently shipped to be sold by the workers. 

Lastly, as my entree comes to an end, I hope that everyday I wake up will be a blessing and not a curse. I pray that I will feel this way whether or not the emotions within me such as love, hate, happiness, sorrow, etc continue to fester. At the end, I will do my best to conquer them and come out on top. 

Life is full of complications,

Throughout the many living nations,

So why not make things simple,

All with a smile and a dimple.
