One Fine Sunny Day




Assalamualaikum (:

Today is the third day of the Chinese New Year holidays and lemme tell ya, it ain't felt like a holiday. Why ? B'coz there's tons and tons of homeworks lying around waiting to be done and I'm stressed out about it. Well, kinda. As this is just January, I wonder how I'm gonna look like by the end of August, that is after the SPM's Trial State Exam. Like a zombie I think . Meehhh -,-

I also began to realise, I am seventeen (okay maybe not yet ) and another year older and hopefully, another year wiser. Although I must say, my physique didn't convince anyone that I am a seventeen years old girl. Maybe that I live in an all-girls islamic school and things like sports was not emphasised here due to space constraints. Nevertheless, I have nothing against my height. Merendah diri gitu ~ Hihihi :P

Maulidur Rasul is approaching soon and I must say, I really like the ads on TV9 where it shows people holding up a sign that's written our Rasulullah's noble attitudes and personalities. He is the best example of all humankinds. No matter young or old, we can all relate to and follow his personalities. Insya-Allah :)

So that's all today. I try to keep my posts short and simple. Like me ! :P
May peace be upon you.

Cross-countrying





Assalamualaikum (:
Hello people. My post today is about my school's annual cross-country race that was held yesterday. So uhm .. let's read !

So, this cross-country competition is my fifth time since entering high school. And it is also my final year as a Form 5 student. Sad ? Nope! Not one bit. It's just because I hate running so much.We've (that's to say me and the entire school) have been practising since two days before d-day, and I tell you, it's so hard to practise because it keeps raining and raining that entire week. The teachers themselves are baffled with this situation (not to mention quite happy too :) But against all odds, we managed to practise.

On the morning of January the 20th, I wake up feeling anxious but well-spirited to do my best in the race. As you know, or probably don't, I cannot eat in the morning because I'm afraid I'll puke :( But I also don't want to faint during the race so I forced myself to eat just one bite of toaster, and it tastes as if I'm chewing carpets -,-

When I arrived at Stadium Utama Kangar, I saw such various facial expression on everyone there. Some had that crazy-determined face to win, some had happy-go-lucky type of face, some looked as if they ate a little too much nasi lemak, and some were just neehhhh.. whatever! We started off with a quick warm-up session and cheered our team's song.

At the starting point, everyone was getting ready. I'm confident with my own strategy- jog and speed-walk continously. We started running,I was cool the first kilometre but the next were just the start of a horrendous journey. My feet started to burn, sweats were trickling, and my knees start aching but the most awful thing was my breathing was getting heavier and heavier, as if someone was squeezing the air out of my lungs. The only thing I did was to keep thinking positive thoughts and self-motivation.

The last 100 m to the finishing line was the absolute torcher for me. I mean, that's it, I seriously want to gave up, more than anything but then I saw a girl and she was the same team with me so I grab her arms and asked her to run with me. (haha I know its super embarrasing but its the first thing that came to my mind). So finally, finaalllyyy I'm finished! The race was over! O.V.E.R! Hahaha I never felt any happier.

Coincidentally I also became the MC for the prize-giving ceremony that day. I was a little afraid because its my first time handling a school event but I did it okay despite some mistakes I made. Luckily I had my free assistant, Asiah ! hehe no, she was actually my life-saver. She helped me a lot :) The cheering of 800+ people in the hall when we announced the winner of each category was just amazing! My school consist of four houses named Saidatina Aisyah, Asma', Nusaibah and Siti Khadijah. And this year, team Nusaibah won the main prize. The scream was ear-splitting and it goes on for about 30 seconds. Congrats -,- (insincere haha)

So that's it for my post today. Pretty long huh? If you managed to read all of it, I want to say ; I love you 1 2 3,Terima Kasih Daun Keladi (:
