My Journey

Ivy woke up early as always the next day, admiring the yellowish red sun rays stretching across the horizon and deep in thought. She turned around as she heard a knock, and Mrs. Plyde shuffled into the room. Her mother was still in her violet silk nightdress, her hair was wild and messy, and she had black circles around her eyes, showing lack of sleep. Ivy gaped, staring wide-eyed at her mother's unusually unkempt appearance. "Is something wrong, Mom?" she asked, a bit worried. Mrs. Plyde sat heavily on the bed, clearly exhausted. "Did you hear it last night?" she mumbled, her wide terrified eyes glued to the wall in front of her. Her skin was as pale as her dry lips, which were quivering a bit. Ivy could hardly hear her mother's soft voice. It was as if she was talking to herself rather than Ivy, but she could make out what she said, making her quite confused. Well, sure Mrs. Plyde was a light-sleeper and wakes up at any loud noises, but she n...

Night fell on Hilder Street, sending cool mists into the starlit sky. A crescent moon hung among the rows of twinkling stars as Cliff plopped himself on his bed, dressed in his pajamas. Just like any other night, he took his mystery notebook from his bedside table; a book that he had been using to write mysterious things that happened in town. Every Friday night, he would jot down the weird things that happened in Clyville, mainly mysteries. He wrote: No mysteries this week. Hope next week will be different. It's been a week since Cliff and his gang solved a mystery. They had been waiting, keeping a lookout for enemies, reading newspapers, watching the news on television and asked people all around town for mysterious happenings. Still, they couldn't find any recently. It might be strange for a group of youngsters to go search for crimes to solve, but it's just what they're interested in. Cliff closed his notebook and a yawn escaped his mouth. Withou...

Assalamualaikum everyone! Thank you again for the continuous reading of this blog. As you already knew (probably), I have just finished the UPSR examinations this week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It was pretty tough, but I could say that I managed to answer most of the questions confidently. For Bahasa Malaysia, I have a little problem at the words with many meanings - and I know I was wrong - but the others were fine. For Mathematics, I didn't have a problem except when I miscalculated on some questions and spent too much time recalculating them until I barely had time to finish (but I did and didn't have any time to check the paper). Science wasn't hard in Section A, but I had problems with the inferences in Section B. Luckily I remembered the notes I made (and found). English was quite easier than the other subjects. In fact, I even needed an additional paper to write my story in Section C. Above all, the aptitude test was the most challe...

Assalamualaikum and welcome again everyone. Alhamdulillah, my friends and I are back to being friends with no ard feelings and no more fighting nor dramas. Thank you for forgiving me. Today, I have something important to say. Of course, you must have known from viewing my older posts (and my age) that I am one of the young candidates of UPSR and PSRA examinations. Yes, the UPSR examination is just around the corner - which is the next day after tomorrow, 8th September 2015! Time flies faster than you'll ever expect. The first second you were just entering year 6, and then the next second you're going to sit for the big exams! We have been learning in primary school for six whole years, and now we will be tested with all the knowledge we've gained. We have been getting ready for the exams, and we still are, when there's still time to spare. We prayed and prayed to Allah for calmness and focus. I would like to thank all the teachers who are there for us. Teac...
