ALL ABOUT TENNIS!!!

TENNIS TEAM REUNITED. 

As months passed by, our tennis team reunited again in my grade 10 year. All of us improved our skills and we were trained hardly. We practiced by ourselves, bought new accessories and new tennis rackets. The new team was developed and like usual, we made a match. A match against our tennis players. This time, the team consisted of MD, Jaber, Antu, Juber, Bivob, Prabhdeep and me. 

PLAYED EACH OTHER TO DETERMINE WHO'S THE STRONGEST~

We played each other and well, wa lao, our tennis skills improved dramatically. I beat all of them except this strong guy named MD. His tennis skills were basically based on strength and offensive. Like the way he played. He smashed all the time when I tried to put in my defense mode. I was an analyzer, skillful, great thinker and a defensive player. I wasn’t a strong guy like him but I hit the ball on his weak spots. His weak spots were easily read by me but his strong hits made me hard to hit it back, causing me to heat drop balls and high balls. With his strong leg, he managed to jump and smashed the ball like a maniac! I lost to him. 10-6. He was declared as the Captain of the tennis team. 

PISSED OFF FOR NOT PLAYING SINGLES IN TENNIS~

That time, there weren’t any deputy captain yet in that year. As far as I know, they put me in 2nd Doubles like usual. What the Fuck was that? Why they put me in that position? They thought I was a soft guy who hit all the balls mad slowly and they thought that I would lose to my enemy due to my low strength skill? WTF was that? Yo, I thought and analyzed the enemy’s movement. That was why I defeated all you guys! How? I analyzed every movement you guys did! For god sake, I kept this secret within me and by the time you guys read this blog, you will know how I felt by that time. You guys just hit the ball mad hard but never went in! I played safe and all my balls went in. 

RECEIVED COMPLIMENTS FROM MY TEACHERS~

Many teachers who played with me like Mr. Rios, a former tennis player and Mr. Manie, a good tennis player, they thought about my skill and they acknowledged what I have in me. They said to me “Safwan, I like your defense. Wherever I hit the ball, you always return. You are like a solid wall. And the way you hit the ball, your ball weren’t fast enough but you hit the ball where the enemy can’t hit it. Very good of you”. See, I got this compliment from them but still, these players didn’t acknowledge what I have in me. 

WINNING IS NOT EVERYTHING. TRUST IN YOUR ABILITIES IS THE MOST!!!

They just think that the strongest must put in singles and must play against player who are in the same level. In addition, they always think that victory is the main key. Winning is quite important but as a tennis player, we should believe in our player’s skills but they didn’t! Not at all. Winning and winning! Thats their goal. If I was the Captain, I wouldn’t believe like that way. I believed in my teammates that they will win for sure with the skills they have. In addition, if a player with low skill skill managed to win against a skillful player, I will put that low skill player in a good position! Why? Strength doesn’t matter! The only thing that matter is the skill, the talent and the smartness within a player soul. Not just strength. Indeed strength is important but whats the point if putting a player who hits mad hard but his dumb and didn’t know the enemy’s weakness? 

ENTERED THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Well, we played all the matches against a few school and like usual, all my matches in 2nd doubles, we won.  In the Semi-final, we won in the doubles but we lost in the singles. That team, MD played 1st singles, Jaber played 2nd singles, Antu played 3rd singles, Juber and Bivob played 1st Doubles and Prabhdeep and I played 2nd doubles. That year was fun and a lil confused and a lil anger were filling up in my life because I disliked my position as a Double player. I prefer playing singles. Anyway, months passed by and I practiced more and more! Well, I tried to practice but many situations blocked my way. VACATION!

VACATION. TRAVEL A LOT OF PLACES AND MEET NEW MALAYSIAN FRIENDS~

My parents said that since we didn’t go to a few places and states, we should spend our breaks. In addition, my mom’s friends lived other states. Sometimes when they made an open house, we received an invitation to go there. Well, we went a few states such as New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, Philadelphia, Rhode Island and a few north states.

LESS PRACTICE ON TENNIS DUE TO ASSIGNMENTS, QUIZZES AND TEST~

 Anyway, my tennis practiced didn’t go quite well. School, exams, tests, quizzes and assignments were in my 3rd year life. Well, I didn’t play tennis for 4 months lol. From November till March. The first week of April, which was the month of Spring, I started to practice and regain my skills. Sadly when the time I played the matches against my teammates, all of them were awesome and very very good. I asked them how they get better. They bought new expensive rackets and new strings. With those stuff, putting a lil energy would make all their hits moved faster. Wa lao, I felt shock! My racket was a crappy shit! Cost $60 lol. My friends bought their rackets more than $100! Anyway, they get better because they practiced during the summer and during the fall. No wonder they get better. Hahaa=D 

SAME DEFEAT WHEN PLAYING AGAINST THE CAPTAIN, MURSHED MD

Well, I played the matches and just like usual, I lost to MD lol. That time was kinda weird lol. My teammate named Jaber who played 2nd singles beat MD but when the time I played against Jaber, I beat him. Wa lao, what was my weakness? Is it strength? Is it skill? The answer was strength. My strength wasn’t good enough lol. The reason I won against Jaber was because I hit on his weak spots and the reason I lost to MD was because my strength wasn’t strong enough compare to his level. I entered the gym and strengthen my hands, my forearms, and my body. My body increased its muscular system and I was tough. Not too tough but a fit player=D My hits were getting faster and my defense increased dramatically as I practiced and trained more=D.

         THATS ME AFTER GOING TO THE GYM~

NEW FRIENDS, NEW CLASSES AND NEW SPORTS

MRS. HEFFEZ CLASS, A COLLEGE TEACHER TEACHING IN HIGH SCHOOL

Anyway, in her class, she pushes us to the limit in English. Even though I was in the Intermediate level, she gave us poems, novels, exercises and books to read. All of these stuff were High School Standards but when it comes to her teachings, her teachings was in a College level. They way she talked, the way she expressed, the way she acted and the way she wrote on the blackboard, everything were College level! Wa lao, I was a 15 years old back then and learned the College way? Wow. That is why the education in US is the best in the world. I mean one of the best.

NEW FRIENDLY FRIENDS WHOM I TRUST THE MOST

Well, that year, I met a lot of friends. I can name all of them but I will name the friends I was very close with. Well, they were Muaz, Rifad, Tareque, Nithin, Shelsy, Bushraa, MD, Salman Khan, Emmalee, Tarek Ahmed, Alejandro, Sonet, Marven, Prabhdeep and Gurvinder. These were my best friends when I was in grade 9. 

MY ATTITUDE CHANGE FROM SHYNESS TO TALKATIVE. JUST A FEW~

My attitude started to change when months passed by. My shyness started to disappear lil by lil and talking to girls weren’t a problem for me=D. That year was the year I changed the way I talked and acted. A big changed huh? From a shy kid to a talkative one=D.  

COMPETE WHO'S THE SMARTEST IN MATH AND OTHER SUBJECTS. NERD!!!!!

There were a few of my rivals named Prabhdeep and Muaz who wanted to challenge me in Math A. We challenged each other to determine who was the smartest in that class. I LOVE THAT CLASS. My math teacher was Mr. Rios. He was an awesome math teacher and I would never forget his teachings and his kindness towards me. He was the one who guided me the entire school and accompanied me when I was in trouble and alone. Thank you Mr. Rios. I will never forget you. Anyway, these rivals of mine were very competitive. They were smart lol. We challenged and did every test and wa lao, I always get in the 2nd place. I scored 115, Muaz scored 130 and Prabhdeep scored 107. So yeah, actually, the total was 100 but additional 30 marks for students who wanted extra credit and and extra points for the test. I couldn’t believe that Muaz always get everything right! All his test were 100s. I always get like 2 or 3 questions wrong. Not wrong. It was my final answer that was wrong. My formula and my calculation were right but my answer was wrong. So basically, I got half marks for that. 

NEW ATTITUDES STARTED TO REVEAL. NO MORE SHY SHY^_^

Months passed by till Spring and then Summer. My attitude changed dramatically and I had a lot of friends especially hot chicks. Hmmmm=]..

NEW CLUB I ENTERED, TENNIS TEAM~

I entered this team. A tennis team. The team were okay and friendly. I met new friends and a new teacher. The teacher was my tennis coach named Mr. Chattoo. He teaches Earth Science (kinda like Geography mix with Science) and well, he slacked too much. He gave us ideas, facilities, advices, treatments and strategies during the game but one thing he was lack of, his teachings in tennis skill. Wa lao, all of us learned how to hit properly by doing a short practice but well, we believed that practiced wasn’t a good idea. We went to a few website like YouTube to learn how to hit the ball properly. In addition, we went to the gym to improved our muscular system especially for our hands and our legs. We improved because we did it by ourselves, not from him. Either way, this coach was great but pls, don’t slack off too much, ok?=P.  

A GREAT TENNIS TEAM CONSISTED OF WONDERFUL AND TALENTED PLAYERS

Well, tennis was a sport that was so famous in NY. Wherever I went and chilled outside, I always see a tennis court almost every town lol. Tennis was quite popular. In my grade 9 year, I entered this tennis team and were taught to play by a few seniors and the tennis captain named Saboor. He was the tennis captain and he played pretty cool. Sadly that year was his last year in that school. He played first singles lol. Anyway, I learned and entered the gym to build up my muscles and my stamina. The tennis season basically started in the Spring season. Well, I played, practiced and a day had arrived, a match tournament between tennis players in that club. Well, the seniors definitely win their matches because they were awesome and undefeated. 

PLAYED TENNIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND BEAT MY SENIORS~

The best part was when the seniors had to play each other. Wa lao, they played man good like professional and the way they hit the ball were fast. Putting on defense, they hit high balls instead so that they could get ready for the next attack. Suddenly, my time had come. I beat everyone including my friends lol. Hahaha. Damn good=D. And then, the time had arrived. The match between me and the seniors. Wa lao, I couldn’t believe that I beat my Captain. The score was 10-5. I felt mad tired but I was happy because I beat the Captain. And then, my match against the Deputy Captain, I won just like that. 10-3. Wa lao, I was so freaking excited and everyone were shocked that I managed to beat them even though I was a beginner. My coach, Mr. Chattoo came to me and asked me a few questions on how I’m good I am. Well, I told him that I used to play tennis before. Not for long, just a few months and I quit to become an Athletic.

                     

                                        ME WITH MY TENNIS COACH, MR. CHATTOO

HIGH SCHOOL LIFE IN NEW YORK

NEW LIFE BEGINS IN HILLCREST HIGH SCHOOL

The High School i went was called Hillcrest High School. This Hillcrest High School consisted of many students coming from different countries. Which means, a lot of immigrant students who were willing to study lol. The school also has a lot of students who were American citizens. American citizens doesn’t mean that the people should always be white people. Black people were included too=D. I would like to inform you that I am NOT a racist type. I like to be friend with anyone, no matter what country you came from, you guys may enter my friend list=D. 

FREE SCHOOL REGISTRATION. NO PAYMENT!!

Anyway, to register was easy. There weren’t any registration fee lol. We just showed our passport and our purposes in NY and thats it. Filled up the student application form and I’m a High School Student. The US Government sponsor lol. Hahaha. That was easy. Well, before I entered the class, there was a test. An english test lol. Quite simple one. An English teacher gave me a topic and she asked me to write an essay in front of her. My sis and I did the essay and she read ours. She said the spelling needed to be changed because we were living in NY, not in Malaysia. Malaysia followed the british system while NY followed the US system. The spelling part, I needed to change lol. Then, she thought for a long time and decide to put me and my sis in an Intermediate English Class. Wa lao, Intermediate? I put everything what I got. Everything what I learned so far in English and they put me in Intermediate? Wow, I bet the English over there was freaking high lol! 

GOT MY HIGH SCHOOL ID CARD. CLASS BEGINS!!

Well, I received my High School Id card and I entered my classes. Owh yeah, all my classes were the same as my sis lol. Hahaha. Idk why but well, all the classes I had when I was in grade 9 (freshman year) were the same as my sister had. We were kinda different and many people asked a lot of stuff on us. Like “How are you?, Where did you came from?, How can you speak English so well in a short time? Why are you in this school?” kinda like these questions all the time. Well, the best part was we came to our class and after the bell ring, we have to move out lol. Like in Malaysia, we have to stay in our class, right? and the teacher will come, am I right? But in NY, we have to move around. Each class is like 45 minutes and when the bell rung, we have to move and get into our class not more than 5 minutes lol. If you come more than that time, probably the teacher will lock the door. If the teacher is ok, you will be able to get in but the teacher will ask you a few questions like “Why are you late? Do you have any letter that made you late?” Kinda like that. Hahaha=D. My sis and I managed to enter all the classes on time. 

TRYING TO FIT IN DURING SCHOOL TIME WITH OTHER AMERICANS~

During the lunch time, this one was tricky. Damn, the canteen was so crowded and a lot of people talking shits, cursing each other, friendly fight and hitting someone without any reason. Luckily my friends were there so I chilled with them. Well, I was a nice, kind and shy guy lol. Not too fashionable and the way I dressed was kinda like a simple guy with no matching in colors lol. 

FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH MEALS. hehehe. NO NEED TO PAY~

Well, to get the food in the canteen, we needed to fill up the lunch form. This lunch form allowed me to get the food free=D. Like in Malaysia we have to pay all the time but this canteen, Wa lao, every food was free except the vending machine lol. They only part they give us the food for free if our father’s income was less than $2000. If more than that, we have to pay a quarter everyday lol. That will be $0.25 a day. My dad’s income was more than $5000. So yeah, looks like we had to pay lol. Well, paying $0.25 was nothing but the food were great!. You get to choose any food you desire=D. For the breakfast meal, a chocolate milk will be compulsory and you can choose any meal you wanted for breakfast. Ummmm….like pancakes, waffles, bagels, doughnuts, cereals, fruits, toaster bread, yogurt and much more! All of them were free lol. The 25 cent was for the lunch. The meal for the lunch were basically like milk (of course!), choose either french fries or onion rings, cheese pizza, hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken rice, curry chicken, chicken/fish nuggets, beef steaks and fillet o fish. 

STUPID MUSLIM PEOPLE EAT HARAM FOOD. HATE HATE HATE!!!!

Well, since I’m muslim and couldn’t eat non-Halal food like meat and chicken, the only thing I can eat were cheese pizza, fish nuggets and fillet o fish lol. That’s all. Well, my other stupid muslim friends who didn’t care about Halal or not, they ate lol. To be honest, that wasn’t right and they weren’t the perfect muslims. They just don’t care lol. Well, to know the difference between Halal and non-Halal is that Halal food are food that were slaughtered gently at the animal's throat in the name of our god, ALLAH. For non-Halal, they killed with machines or hands or anything just like that without saying anything. For example, a cow. To make its meat Halal, we would make a small deep cut on the throat at the same time, we will cite an arabian language and later, leave the cow the way it is. Let the cow move for the last time and all of a sudden, blood will come out and by that time, the cow would stop. That is what you call a gentle slaughter=D. Wa lao, change topic!!!!!. As for my muslim friends, they said "dont worry. We can make the food Halal. You want to know? First read Al-Fatihah and POOF, already Halal". Damn~. I felt speechless and told them that is the wrong way to do so but they dont care of my advices. Huhuhu

NEED A PASS NOTE TO GO TO THE RESTROOM

Anyway, my classes started at 8:01am and ended at 3:36pm. Kinda long but it was alright for me.=D For the bathroom purposes, you need to get a pass from your teacher. Last time when I was in Freshman year, which is grade 9, I asked my teacher for a permission. I left the classroom and then, she called me to enter back the room. She was my English teacher. Her name was Mrs. Heffez. She used to teach English in a College in France but later became a teacher in this school. I didn’t know the reason but she was a great and awesome teacher. Anyway, she said to me “Mr. Safwan, are you out of your mind? Why did you leave the class like that after I’m not finish talking to you?”. I said “Umm, the only thing I wanted is to get your permission. I need to go to the restroom straight away. It’s an emergency.” Later, she said to me while smiling “Owh wow, you don’t know the school rules?”. I said “nope, not at all”. She said “Well, if you want to leave the classroom, you need a pass. A pass slip. This pass I’m holding is the pass where you can go out of this class for a short time. I will sign this pass and I need your sign too. You may go to the restroom now. Bring this pass along with you. Many security guards walk around to catch any students who cut classes. If they see you in the hallway, show the pass to them and they allow you to walk. If you wander around for a long time, they will catch you, take your ID and bring you to the discipline room at room 161….and believe it or not, I’m one of the discipline teacher”. BLOODY HELL, I felt shocked lol. I thought she was an English teacher but wow, a discipline teacher too? Wa lao, that even make me more scary lol.

TOO MANY NYPD POLICES GUARDING EVERY FLOOR IN THIS SCHOOL

When I entered the school, there were many NYPD security guards that guard the school. Well, I found out that my school was on the top 20 crime school lol. Hahaha.

NEW YORK CITY, THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEP!!

HEADING TO NEW YORK

The moment I entered the big car provided by the Tourism Malaysia, I was like happy because I’m going to another country. Well, happy indeed but sad at the same time. My beloved friends will be leaving my sight and new friends will appear. My family entered the High Class Seat of MAS Airline. Damn, each of us cost like around RM10, 000 per ticket^_^...Staying in NY wasn’t a surprised for me but the most shocking part was the duration of time living in there. 4 YEARS MAN!!!. I have to live there 4 years. Wa lao, that is long lol. To go to NY, there was a transfer. From KL, Malaysia to Stockholm, Sweden. That will be 10 hours lol. Later, waited for an hour and continued our journey to Newark, New Jersey (located near NY) for 12 hours. In total, 23 hours lol. Bloody hell, that was long. Hahahha=D. 

SAFELY ARRIVED AT THE NEWARK AIRPORT

Anyway, when the time I arrived the Newark Airport in New Jersey, US, we were greeted warmly by my dad’s friends who worked under him. They were Aunty Norizah, Uncle Mie, Aunty Nurul, Aunt Mary, Uncle Rahim and Uncle Saeed. They greeted us by treating us in this luxury Turkey Restaurant. Wa lao, the food were big and expensive. I didn’t finish my food lol. I ordered beef steak at that time. After that, we went to our hotel room and stayed there for a week. Wa lao, the bed was big especially the room. That was the best part but the worst part was the sound. Bloody hell, NYC was noisy every hour lol. No wonder the tourist book said that NYC is the city that never sleep. Hahaha=D. 

BORING LIFE LIVING IN A HOTEL

So yeah, I slept late and wa lao, the prayer time was different lol. Basically Isyak in Malaysia started at 720pm but in NY, it started at 1145pm lol. Wa lao, that is mad far lol. Since then, we ate a few snacks and eating like Malaysian food were kinda hard because we couldn’t find any store that sells Halal food. Well, we just bought biscuits and light snacks just to fill up our stomach. Bread was included too=]. After a few days, we found a Halal store but it wasn’t a Malaysian one. It was an Arabian one. Next we found other Halal Stores  that were owned by Pakistan and Indian people. We bought a lot of stuff especially meat and chicken steaks. Thats why. 

ENTERED OUR NEW FIRST HOUSE AT FOREST HILLS

After a week passed by, we moved to our new house. A classic brick old house lol. Sorry but I don’t have the picture of that house. For me, that house wasn’t good after all. We stayed there from June and moved to another house on November lol. That house was okay, it’s just that the third floor didn’t have hot water lol. It had only cold water. I couldn’t take a shower with a cold water in a cold weather! Wa lao, very annoying with that floor. Furthermore, that third floor has 2 rooms and each room has a big space. I took one room and the other was empty. Damn man, that floor was freaking creepy lol! Every night, sound and weird noise will happen in the other room and since I was sleeping alone in my room, the temperature changed from warm to FREAKING COLD EVERY NIGHT! Wa lao, how in the world that happened? I looked at the house thermometer and it worked like usual. Since I heard weird sound, I freaking went back to my bed and covered myself. Bloody hell, that creep me out. 

SLEEP WITH MY LIL BROTHERS DUE TO WEIRD NOISES AND COLD TEMP..

After a month staying in that room, I moved and decided to sleep with my two lil brothers. Their room were in the 2nd floor lol. My two lil brothers. The fourth one is Izzuddin and the last one is Nazreen. Both of them looked like twins but they aren’t. Both of them born in Perth but they aren’t Australians. They just speak their dialect but not pure Australians. They always fight each other for their interest and believed it or not, my youngest brother is much taller than the fourth one. Hahaha. Weird but it’s a fact. 

MOVED TO A NEW BIG HOUSE. BIG HOUSE!!!

Anyway, after I moved, this new house we went was awesome and very big=D. It has 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a living room, a family room, a wide space basement, study room and a big dining room/kitchen room lol. The house was okay and much better than the other one. The worst part was since it was big, we have to clean the house lol.

SHOCKING NEWS - MOVING TO NEW YORK!!!

SURPRISING NEWS FROM MY DAD


Anyway, after I became 15 years old, I received a news. On Saturday morning when my two lil brothers were in their tuition centre, my parents called my older bro, me and my sis. We sat in the living room with our parents and looking each other like a staring contest lol. We laughed and smiled later on. Hahahha. We laughed without any reason. Wa lao, we sat like a freaking important meeting lol. By the time we sat and smiled later, my dad gave us a freaking news. He said “Abid, Adham and Syahirah, I received a news from the Tourism Malaysia. As you may know that my office will be moved to another country. Do you remember the time when we used to live in Perth, Australia?”. We said “Yeah, we knew that part. Why?”. I said “I hope we’re going to Japan”. My sister said “England is the best”. My older bro said “Nah, Australia is much better”. My dad replied everything with a “no” answer lol. So, my dad said “Well, my office had changed to another country located in the west. That country is United State of America (USA).” Wa lao, I felt shocked and damn, that country is far lol. Anyway, I felt surprised and asked my dad where we would live over there. He said that we would live in this state called New York for 4 years. I even felt shocked much more and felt speechless. Then my dad said “The only people that will go are all of us except Adham. He has a big exam paper called SPM. So after he’s done with that paper, he may come later on. Anyway, we will be departing on June 1st 2006. So Abid, you may skip your PMR because if you stay and take PMR paper and bring along to NY, the school would not recognize your result. For you Syahirah, you are in Form 2. So you have to come. Well, this is the plan me and your mom decided already. Starting next week, we have to pack up our stuff and your belongings.” Wa lao, I received this news on April lol. We have one month to pack up lol. So yeah, we packed up and went to school like usual but in an unemotional way. Why? OMG, I’m leaving my friends again. What’s good was that? Huh, last time I left my friends in Australia and now in Malaysia? Wa lao, traveling, meeting new people and new culture, new place, new house, new weather, new stuff and new friends. 




SAD, QUIET AND SPEECHLESS 


In the end, I thought about this and when I went to my class, I kept quiet and didn’t talk at all. My friends were wondering why I felt quiet. I lied to them. I didn’t tell them the secret yet. I kept to myself.


ITS TIME TO REVEAL THE SECRET


Until around the mid-May, I told them and my class teacher, Mrs. Marhaini. I told everyone and they were shocked! Wa lao, they gonna miss me freakin much. Not the girls lol, I didn’t know them quite well coz I was a shy guy back then. All my besties like guys were shocked and hit me around like a pinball machine and asked me for a reason. I told them everything what happened to my dad and they felt wow! They asked me to stay but I replied with “no”. My dad asked me to go lol. Well, I had no other choice but to say goodbye to them on my 2nd last week on Malaysia=[. I brought my camera that time and took a lot of pictures with them=D. Hahaha.

Anyway, the last week had arrived and I wasn't in that school anymore. For the last week, I finished packing up my stuff. One of my friends called on Sunday that Monday was the picture day for our class. Which means, taking a picture=D. Wa lao, this is my time! Since I had one week left, I went to school late just for the picture lol. By the time I arrived, all of them were shocked. hahaha=D. They were like "Abid, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to go to NY by now?" Wa lao, I said to them "Well, I'm moving this Saturday. I have plenty of time before I leave. Beside, today is the picture day, right? I came here just to take a picture. A picture with you guys=D." My friends were surprised and they start hitting me like I was a nerd and innocent guy lol. Then, a student came to our class to mention that it was our turn to take a picture. Well, we did. We took a picture and it wasn't good lol. Owh well, that picture was my life. My life in Malaysia before going to NY.

HIGH SCHOOL IN MALAYSIA

PREPARATION BEFORE BECOMING A TEENAGER


A year passed by and I entered my form 1 class. Well, before I entered that class, my family brought me to a few shopping mall to buy my new uniforms, new shoes and new books. Well, I didn’t know how much my dad spent for me but I bet he spent a lot of money lol. Thank You dad=D. Anyway, I bought my uniforms in a mall called KAMDAR and bought my shoes in BATA. Hahaha=D. I remembered everything lol. As you may know, my memories regain when I lived in my house for a long time. The more I lived, the more memories I get especially the past ones=D. So yeah, after I bought everything, I chilled, played soccer with my friends and finally the day had come. My form 1 class. I entered this new school called Sekolah Menengah Bandar Tun Hussein Onn 2 (SMKBTHO2-Bandar Tun Hussein Onn 2 secondary school).




SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEBANGSAAN BANDAR TUN HUSSEIN ONN 2

This school was freaking big and everything inside it were brand new. Which means that I was the first student, I meant was other students who registered with me at the same year were the people who studied in that new school. That school was launched in the year 2004 and yes, I entered that school in that year. I entered this class called 1 Creative. How did I know? Well, I saw a lot of people in a crowded area and when I checked it out, there was a list on the wall. I tried to find my name and I found my name under the 1 Creative list. I attended the assembly, sang the national anthem, hearing a few speeches from the headmistress and her assistances and well, followed my class teacher. I didn’t know no one lol. Well, I knew my friends. They were in the same school but not in the same class lol. So yeah, I entered this class, get to know each other and studied straight away. Owh yeah, before that, we did like some democracy shit lol. We have to choose people to determine the leader, the assistant, the secretary, the treasurer and staff members for our class. Our class teacher gave us a few speech and just like usual, taking our attendance. I was kinda shy lol. 

KINDA BEST YEAR EVER - 2004 - IMPROVED MY DRAWINGS~

That year wasn’t great at all but a lot of jokes happened in that year. Why? Because I had a few friends who made crappy jokes. One of them was my very best friend named Syafiq Salleh. Wa lao, he was damn funny and sometimes he acted stupid but still, he was a cool guy. Now, he is a great and kind guy=D. In addition, that year was the year I started to learn to draw manga and anime. My best friend named Imran Bin Murad drew a few anime stuff. His drawing was splendid. Beside, him, Syafik Salleh and a girl named Sophia Haron also knew how to draw anime and manga. Wa lao, they were fantastic but in my opinion during that time, sophia’s picture was the best, than Imran and later Syafiq. Either way, they were good in drawing. That is why that year, I started to draw anime. Imran and Syafiq taught and gave me a few tips to draw a perfect face. I wasn’t expert like them but I tried. 

CREATED OUR OWN SOCCER TEAM FILLED WITH SUPERSTARS!!!!

That year was good and in the end that year, I entered this soccer team made by my friends. My friends called all his best players who played for the boroughs(daerah) and the states. Well, I was a great soccer player but I wasn’t interested in playing for the boroughs and the state. I entered and played with them. It was cool though. We represented as BTHO team lol. Sometimes when we met our friends who came from a different place, we would negotiate with them. Like for example, BTHO team against Alam Damai team. Alam Damai is a name of a place lol. Owh yeah, when I entered this team, I got my first soccer boot. It was an Adidas brand. I bought an Adidas Predator Soccer Boot.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN SEPAK TAKRAW!!


Furthermore, my skills in this “sepak takraw” team had improved pretty well. Last time in that year, I get to enter the tryout. Tryout for my sport team called Suaindah (colored green). I entered this team and I was chosen to play that sport against other sport teams-Suakasih (yellow), Suarasa (red), Suadamai (Blue), Suasana (purple). My team was Mustaqim Izhar and Danial Rosman. We were the best and we only lost once lol. Well, lets move on. 




2 INNOVATIVE - TOP THIRD CLASS OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL!!!


The next year, I entered my class called 2 Innovative. This class was filled with smart students. Wa lao, how in the world I managed to enter this class? My average wasn’t good enough. I got like 60 sth lol in percent. That means that I wasn’t smart at all. When I asked my friends in that class, almost all of them, their average were more than 70% lol. 




MET TWO AWESOME ANIME DRAWERS!!


That time, there were two cool students who knows how to draw anime too=D. They were Aizat and Safuan. Bloody hell, their drawing were marvelous. Never saw how they drew lol. Much different than Imran and Syafiq. They drew rough anime like naruto and gundam and other rough anime series. They were good and they taught me a few stuff. To be honest, that class was boring. I sat at the back of the classroom, did my work and read but I wasn’t reading at all. Hahaha. I was drawing instead. That was how I improved my drawing skills. Everyday I drew and drew. No stop. Just draw and draw. Well, the day had come. I started to be like them. Draw a few anime pictures like Naruto. They all said to me that firstly, I have to copy the picture I wanted to draw and later when I get used to it, don’t look at the picture. Visualize and create something new.

Well, this picture above is the picture I drew lol. Kinda okay for me and I satisfied with it. Indeed I was but now, it’s just a collection in my anime folder. I have tons of pictures now but hey, all of them weren’t naruto stuff lol. I drew different pictures every month. 


3 OPTIMISTIC - TOP SECOND CLASS!!!^_^ DAMN SMART I AM~...


When I entered my third year, I entered this class called 3 Optimistic. This class was okay but a lot of fun than my 2nd year. This time, I was 14 years old, about to be 15 years old. Wa lao, even though the class was better and I met new friends, but still the subject increased. The number of subject increased and the difficulty in Malay also increase. BLODDY HELL, that even made me scared! I was suck in Malay especially “Simpulan Bahasa” and “Peribahasa”. Idk in English lol but for me, it was hard. Well, I managed to meet new friends, played soccer like usual, studied for the big exam, PMR and chill. Well, meeting new friends means a lot of male friends lol. Girls, ummmm, I was a shy guy that time. Hahaha=D.

STANDARD 6 - AWESOME MOMENTS

NEW COMPETITION AHEAD - SEPAK TAKRAW

A sport event called “Sepak Takraw”. The school organized a game for this event for classes against classes. I entered the event and well, we lost. I meant was we were almost there but we lost to 6 Anggerik. My team consisted of me (a high jumper), Umar Bukhari (a great sepak takraw player) and Zaid (a soccer player who played for the state). For my opponent was 6 Anggerik consisted of Mustaqim (a high jumper and a soccer player who played for the borough), Faqih (a soccer player who played for the state) and Emir Asyraf (a talented guy). Wa lao, we lost to them but it was a good match=D. 

UPSR, HERE I COME^_^

After this event, the UPSR month had arrived and before that, I studied man hard and entered many tuitions just to improve my Malay, thats all. Well, not many tuition centre, just a few lol. The UPSR exam paper consisted of 5 subjects. Malaysian Studies, Malaysian Essay, English, Mathematics and Science. I was kinda panicked and nervous when I get that paper on my table. My heart started to beat so freaking fast and my body started to tremble. My mom gave me a holy water called “zam zam” water and that water was cited with the surah Al-Fatihah read by my mom and my dad. Before I took the exam, I drank it and started to do the paper lol. I did my best and well, I got 3As in the Malaysian Essay, English and Math, 1B in Science and 1C in Malaysia Studies. Wa lao, I did a great job but compared to my cousin named Nadhirah, she has all 5As. She’s freaking smart and her IQ was freaking high. As a result, she got something she really wanted. A cool cellphone with camera lol. For me, I didn’t get anything. I got an adidas predator soccer boot wore by David Beckham.  Well, my standard 6 was over and a new life began. A life for me to enter my High School=D. New determination, new friends and new resolution. Nah, I don’t think so. Hahahaha.

MYSTERIOUS GIRLS WHO LIKED ME

When I was in Standard 6, there were 2 girls who liked me. One girl was from 6 Cempaka and the other from 6 Anggerik. I didn’t know them nor talk to them but their friends came to me and mentioned about them towards me. I felt weird but owh well, I was a shy kid back then and you know when it comes to girls, I’m weak in that part. Hahahha=D. Dont know them quite well but they had a few feelings on me but i was too weak in love. huhuhu..thats why im single~
