"Hey, Dan, wanna go for basketball?" his friends asked him after the school bell rang.
"No guys, I've got something to do, urgent." he replied and rushed out of the school before they could persuade him.
Just as he stepped out of the gates, he heard the voices that made his spine freeze. It was them, again. "Man! What do these girls want??" he gasped and started to run. He heard the two girls shouting at him as he ran. "Hey boy, the good-looking one, you there, do you want to go cycling with me?"the first girl offered followed by the second "Or, we can have a date, between you and me, only me, at the cinema, we'll watch a love story and share popcorn?" Running non-stop until 2 blocks away, he finally stop to turn, how relieved he was to NOT see any moving shadows. He continued walking along the pavement, a little out of breathe after escaping from the girls that has been stalking him for 3 days in school. He took a small piece of paper from his pocket and studied the diagram with blotches of ink from a very bad quality pen. "Turn left at the first junction, then walk on until the apple tree? Ken, why can't you just remember the address..." he mumbled to himself.
After about 15 minutes, he finally reached the house with a garden filled with beautiful flowers and at the corner stood a very old tree, it's branches stretching out to form a shade of green. He went in front of the door and gave a knock. He waited for quite sometime and wondered if there was anyone in. Just when he was deciding to leave, he heard the door knob being turned. The door opened and in front of him stood a girl.He was stunned by her eyes twinkling like the stars in the night sky. "Hi," she paused, studied the guy in front of her and continued, "judging by that luggage of yours, are you looking for a place?" she asked and welcomed him into the house. "Yes" he answered and went in with his luggage.
The girl went to one of the cabinets, while taking out a few plates, she introduced herself, "I'm Mellisa, and you are?" He said he was Daniel and looked around the house which was filled with new furniture made of fine oak."You can put your stuff at that corner. Come have a seat, would you like to have Chinese tea?" she asked as she took a teapot with delicate carvings on it. "I'll try, I've never had tea in my life" he said remembering that his uncle fed him Chinese tea when he was 3 years old, which tasted so bitter that he doesn't even want to try any beverage with the "tea" word, but this girl was so sweet that he could not refuse. He sat down, took the teacup and tried drinking a sip. "How is it?" Mellisa asked while taking out a plastic container filled with muffins. "It has a strong aroma," he said, still not liking the bitterness of it. "It's too bitter for you, your face says it all" she laughed a little while handling him a muffin. "Thanks. Um, Mellisa, about renting a place..." before he could finish his sentence, Mellisa said, " That, Daniel, you'll have to go upstairs and turn left into the art room, you'll find her and ask all the questions you want. I'm going to the backdoor, you'll go yourself." He wondered who's "her" but didn't ask Mellisa as she looks busy. He went upstairs, hoping that he'll finally get a decent place to stay after sleeping 2 days on a wooden chair in the school library.

Bahan Lisan Untuk 2009
Selamat pagi saya ucapkan kepada Puan Jacquilene dan rakan-rakan sekalian. Hari ini, saya akan membincangkan “Cuti Sekolah Yang Bermakna”.
Cuti sekolah adalah paling menyeronokkan untuk pelajar-pelajar, namun, adakah cuti-cuti sekolah kita pernah memberikan kita “keseronokan yang sebenar”? Kita sering menghabiskan cuti-cuti sekolah kita dengan tidur, makan, tidur, makan dan menonton televisyen. Sebenarnya, cuti sekolah boleh menjadi sangat bermakna kepada kita.
Kita hendaklah merancang cuti kita. Jangan biarkan cuti anda “dikuasai” oleh tidur dan kebosanan. Aturkanlah kegembiraan cuti anda sebelum anda mula bercuti lagi. Sudahpun beberapa bulan kita ke kelas dan bertungkus-lumus dengan pelbagai ujian peperiksaan. Inilah masanya untuk menyenangkan diri kita, dari segi mental dan fizikal.
Selain itu, kita juga hendaklah menyelesaikan tugasan-tugasan sebelum cuti bermula. Kita hendaklah memastikan bahawa semua tugasan sekolah sudah diselesaikan. Jika perlu, peruntukkan masa pada awal cuti khusus untuk menyiapkan semuanya. Janganlah kita menangguhkan sehingga penghujung cuti. Selepas tugasan telah selesai, kita dapat menikmati kelazatan bercuti dengan spenuhnya.
Ketika bercuti, kita perlulah meluangkan masa bersama keluarga. Kita dan keluarga mungkin sudah begitu lama tidak dapat bermesra dan bergembira kerana sibuk dengan tugasan masing-masing. Apa salahnya kita meluangkan masa untuk bersama keluarga? Rasailah “kehangatan” bersama mereka. Mungkin bunyinya remeh sahaja, tetapi suatu masa nanti, pasti anda akan merinduinya.
Cuti sebenarnya sungguh bermakna untuk hidup kita. Kadangkala satu perubahan besar berlaku semasa cuti, bukan semasa musim persekolahan. Terima kasih.

Eliza (13.Mar.2010)
She was there, just like the first time they met. She was so beautiful, glowing in the rays of the sun. She spread out her magical wings, without saying goodbye, she flew out...he smiled as he watched her...for the last time...

It was such a beautiful morning, the sunlight danced with the morning mist, she opened the window and the air was filled with the scent of the flowers in the garden. She picked out a lovely dress and went downstairs.
She stood in the middle of the house, she remembered, she was alone.

"What do you mean?" the girl with the wavy hair asked, tears rolling down her eyes.
"I...I can't stay here anymore..." he said, not turning back. He opened the door and went out into the cold dark night.
"Are...are you alright?" the girl with the straight, long hair asked her.
"Eliza, how...how...what am I to do?" she sobbed. She tried to comfort her, but she ran upstairs and took her bag.
"Eliza, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry I gave you so much trouble. Goodbye." she said before leaving the house.
"Mellisa..."
"Mellisa, don't leave me..."
"Don't leave me alone...please"
Eliza stood there, she couldn't do anything, she felt helpless, it happened so fast. She went to bed, crying under the blanket. She lost her friends, she felt lost in this world, this world that was suddenly filled with so much darkness...

First Monthly Exam In A Decade
Just finished the first monthly exam...
Malay
We have the same (well, 50%) questions as the form 4 students, imagine...what will happen when the results are out...
English
Just hoping I can maintain my result.
Chinese
Teacher, please don't frown when you're marking my paper, instead, have a good laugh(?)
Maths
One of the students had to go out for a competition, so he finished the paper one day earlier. He said it was easy, child's play!! I don't have any confidence for it...
Additional Maths
I would say it went smoothly, but...let's just say, I'm quite a careless one
Biology
I'm doomed...(I'm fine....I don't want to go to the ICU)
Chemistry
Ma'am, please don't look at me like that....
Physics
Well, I didn't study properly, but the paper...the sentences just feel weird...
History
Doom...I say, doom...
Moral
It was okay, but I don't know about the marking system.
Civic
Yahoo! I'm a storyteller, hope people will like what I tell...(ya, rite....hope the teacher won't blow up)
