Clueless Cases (Chapter 5): The Case(s)

Cliff and the others waited without interruptions as Ivy explained the case from the beginning thoroughly and clearly, not missing any important detail. "Hailey Carmine," Ivy continued,"according to Mrs. Greene, had moved to Number 9 Dillway Lane for about three months now, and had been very private and secretive, rarely associate with other people in the neighborhood, but sometimes talked to her nearest neighbors. Nancy Greene, Mrs. Greene's elder daughter, who always buys the groceries, sometimes spotted Carmine talking to the grocer. She said they talked as if they were close friends." She spoke with the air of a real reporter. She had always been like that whenever she explained anything.  "That's it then," Kevin interrupted. "Mason's a suspect." This was a shock to them, including Kevin himself. They doubted it would've been Wyler Mason, the kindhearted and generous middle-aged gentleman who owns one of Clyville...

Happy Holidays!

Assalamualaikum, blog-readers! Alhamdulillah..we made through a wonderful year 2015! The year filled with laughs, smiles, tears, hops, fun, struggles, sweat, love, friendship, fights and everything. Just remember the happy experiences you've been through, and the next year will be better. Although it's nearly a week of the holidays, I won't bother to say, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! It was an amazing journey this year with all of you, friends or not, acquaintances or not, related or not, met or not, we're all a family and all of you had made this year amazing! A special thanks to my parents, making me the happiest daughter in the world, to my teachers who had been teaching me, making me more knowledgeable from time to time, and to all my family and friends, daring to accompany me in the ups and downs of an awesome year. I want to apologize to everyone I've made a mistake to. I probably didn't follow directions, or stepped on your foot, or sat on your hand, or s...

Alhamdulillah..Congratulations, Everyone!

Assalamualaikum, readers! Today is the day all year 6 students receive their results for UPSR and PSRA in Sri Ayesha. I want to say congratulations to every one of my friends (and people I've never met) no matter what your result is. The important thing is that you've done your best. And this is our topic in this post. To those who didn't achieve 5As and Mumtaz, it's okay. It is your effort we want to celebrate, not your results. Congratulations! You still have many chances to get better and try a different learning or study strategy. Have you heard of the youngest student getting a PhD? I can't remember his name, but he got PhD when he's just 23 years old! But he only got 4As and 1B in his UPSR exams. So don't worry if you have a bad result. It's not like it's the end of the world. And please, parents, do not pressure them if they didn't succeed. It's bad enough they got bad results, but you have to encourage them to keep moving f...

Clueless Cases (Chapter 4): Murder or Suicide?!

As fast as they could, the children rushed out of Cliff's room, leaving unimportant things behind. Cliff and Cleo ran into their garage to get their bicycles as Tyler, Kevin and Ivy ran along the road to their homes to get theirs. Despite being in a rush, Cliff had time to tell his friends to go straight to Dillway Lane without waiting for anything or anyone. Tyler ran back home with Kevin behind him. Ivy already sprinted in front of them back to her house. The twins hurried towards their garage where they found their bikes right next to their father, who was repairing his new convertible that had crashed into a tree driven by Aunt Julie last Sunday. He was really upset when he heard the news of the hood smashed to pieces along with the windshield while his younger sister (who had just got a license before the accident) was unharmed. So he decided to repair it himself as he "never really trusted any mechanics", according to Kevin. "Next time, Dad," Tyle...

Outings and Trips

Assalamualaikum, everyone! I am very sorry for the long, long, long pause without any posts. Yup. Last time I wrote here was on 14th of October. Well, to make it up to you, I will write a new post today (which I'm currently writing) about my outings and trips after my major exams and the American Mathematics Olympiad. National Museum First trip after the exams was going to the National Museum of Malaysia. It was a fun and tiring experience, wandering ins, outs, ups and downs of the museum while trying to finish the quiz given to every group of three to four. We all competed to find which group was the fastest to answer the test, although speed was not counted. All the groups searched for the answers in the four big galleries stuffed with things over time in Malaysia. Pictures and models filled the galleries with some kind of creepy aura. I had some trouble to deal with my group mates since they always get the creeps around the plastic skeletons and stuff like that. ...
