Hi everyone. “Welcome
to My Life”
.
As everyone knows, I am now in Malaysia. If you don’t, then now you know. I have
been living here for two years now since I came back from the US. Everything
went as planned here. You know… the climate, grandparents, the neighbors and
everything… except the school. You see, I thought the school here will be full
of cruelty, discomfortness, punishments and all those sorts of things. Instead,
I found schooling here was exceptionally great. Of course it wasn’t so great of
having scolded by teachers and having to wear uniforms, but besides all that, I
like it here. I finished school now so I have time to tell you all about the
school I went to.
Chapter 1: The School
The
school’s name is Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Abdul Samad. I don’t know if we can
convert names to English language though but if we could, it would be National
Secondary School of Abdul Samad. Hehe… Anyway, It’s located in Pulai Chondong,
Kelantan. I thought of going to different school in Machang, but decided to go
here since it’s near my home. Besides, I wasn’t accepted to attend to other
schools. LOL!
I was in
the class called 4 Alpha when I was in form 4 and 5 Alpha when in form 5. Same
name of classes without the number 4 and 5 with the same students in them so
it’s technically just one class. I don’t mean to brag but the class was
supposedly for the smartest students in the level. So that would make me as one
of the smartest students. LOL! Anyway, they chose me to be in the class because
I took biology when I was in the US. If it wasn’t for the biology, I wouldn’t be
in that class at all. I don’t know where I would end up in, maybe the lowest
class.
Chapter 2: The Teachers
The teachers are
surprisingly nice, or at least the ones who taught in my class are. I don’t know
about other teachers. They’re all women except for the Ustaz that taught us
religious stuff. The first year of schooling here was the hardest. You see, the
school here starts in January. I came to Malaysia in the mid of March. So I was
really far behind other students. Chemistry and Physics were gibberish to me. I
didn’t understand anything. In the midterm exam, I got number 24 out of 27,
which I thought was ok for me as a new student. Hey, I was new but still managed
to get 3 other students behind me. So that means, I wasn’t the stupidest person
in the class. However, as the time goes by, I finally caught with them. In the
midterm exam of the second year of school, I got number 6 out of 27. I don’t
know if it was me getting smarter or the other students getting stupider, but
hey, not bad huh?
Chapter 3: The Students
This is like, my
favorite part of the story. As you already know, there are 27 students in my
class; 12 boys and 15 girls. It’s funny how the girls always outnumber the boys.
Anyway, I’m just going to focus on male species in my class. Girls didn’t do
nothing in the class except talk to their own species and answer questions from
the teachers. There is also a story about us which was written by a former
classmate of 4 Alpha. I can’t remember her name but it was written in Malay.
I’ll show you later because I have to go to Terengganu first to get the book.
It’s hilarious if you understand Malay. Anyway here’s the list of the students
in the Alpha class with their nickname in parentheses. Don’t mind the order

made fun of Zulhazam. But you know, joke in a nice way.
o
Really great but sometimes he can be arrogant. Sometimes as in
really really not often. I’m not trying to make him look bad but sometimes it’s
sad when he just ignored me. Okay… here’s a story which was witnessed by not
only me, but pejo as well. You see, we three went to a place to talk after
attending a feast by one of our friends, Kamil, I was riding with Pejo and Jeme
was by himself. Then he said he was going to get a friend of his called Pipi
which means “cheeks”. We told him we wanted to go along so we followed him. Then
when we reached Pipi’s house, Pipi got on the bike with Jeme. And went away from
it and was speeding. Well, the bike I was riding couldn’t go as fast as he can
so we lost him. Not even goodbyes… Can you imagine that? Pejo asked me in a
humor sense, “Siapa kawan dia masa dia tak der pipi?” which means, “Who’s his
friend when he doesn’t have his cheeks?” Well, it was a rhetorical question so I
didn’t answer instead, we were laughing out loud on the bike! It was so funny at
the time. But he’s a really nice guy though and I like him a lot. This kind of
stuff happened like once every 5 months.
v
Faizul
o
Aka Pejo
o
A really nice guy and really funny too
o
Always come to my house for sleepovers on invitation of course.
He never asked to sleep at my house. It was me that was doing the asking. Keep
your mind clean because I asked him to certain reasons like keep me company when
my grandparents are out of state, helping me with my studies or just for fun
when I invite other friends too to just chat and waste their time.
o
A smart guy. Specializes in Mathematics and English
o
A naughty guy too. He always talked and played a lot in class.
o
Involved in an accident once. Broke his jaw I think. He crashed
onto a truck. I thought he was going to die but he was thinking fast and was
crawling under the truck without getting injured badly. It’s like the Malay
