THE SECOND CHOICE I hate the number 2 Because it’s whatI’ve always been Since elementary school I’ve walked on the grass thatis nextto the sidewalk I’ve walked behind a pair with joined arms I’ve sat alone in the back seat of a car I’ve been silenced during conversations with others “Well I-“I would say for the firsttime “Well I-“I would try again Ifigure third times a charm, right? “Well I-“and no one even glances my way I envy family in books and TV shows Because I’ve realized I could never form a friendship like that. Someone willing to die,for me? I can barely convince anyone to wantto hang out. So Iform relationships with the characters in books I idealize romance and love, in hopes it will one day fillthis void in my heart and this voice in my head telling me I will never be enough I pretend my eyes don’t glow green whenever I see videos offriends doing everything together I wantto be liked. I wantto be loved. I want everyone to stop leaving. I wantto be seen. I wantto be heard. And I wantto be someone’s world. Butthatisn’t realistic for a second choice.

AN EMAIL TO A FRIEND BY FATIN SAJIEDAH BINTI JAMALUDDIN (PRA U 2USM) From : Fatin Subject : Adventure Club's Trip to Cameron Highlands Hello Ain, How are you? I hope you are having a speedy recovery and are as fit as a fiddle now. I was feeling a bit crestfallen when you couldn’t join our Adventure Club’s trip to Cameron Highlands. The trip was an exciting experience for me. The weather was very cold and chilly. For your information, Cameron Highlands is a popular hilly region because it offers pleasant cool temperatures due to its high altitude. The places that I enjoyed visiting the most was the BOH Tea Plantation in Tanah Rata. It is because there were amazing landscapes and stunning panoramic views. Besides, the tea gardens were truly picturesque because I have taken some photographs with my friends. While watching the panoramas, I enjoyed a cup of hotsteaming tea and some delicious scones. Furthermore, the second place that I visited was the Lavender Garden. It was an opportunity for us to admire vibrant colourful flowers. There was a shop that sold lavender ice - cream and also strawberry ice - cream. I loved the taste ofthe softice - cream because it was mouth - watering. Yes, your father was correct in saying that Cameron Highlands is famous for its steamboat. It is because the food here is very fresh and tastes so good. I'm feeling blue that I couldn't go because my schedule was very packed. I also heard thatthe Adventure Club is planning another trip soon. I think they will be going to Pangkor Island next month. Let’s make memories. Really hoping that you will be able to join me for thattrip. Have a nice day ! Fatin 49
HOMEWORK IS ESSENTIAL FOR STUDENTS NUR AIN SYUHADA BINTI ZULFREE PRA-U 2UKM As a student, doing homework can give many benefits as it develops many skills in oneself. Even though students do notlike doing homework itis necessary for the students. Personally speaking, Itotally agree that homework is necessary for students because it helps the students to learn how to solve problems, develop time management skills and increase student’s self-esteem especially for examinations. First and foremost, homework can help students to learn how to solve problems. When the teacher gives homework that has many questions, we need to think fastto answer the questions. The more difficultthe questions are,the harder we need to think. This can make our brains to think differenttypes of ways to solve the questions. For example, when a student answers a math question, he or she willtry to think of a suitable solution to getthe right answer after a learning session in school. Hence without a doubt, homework can help students to learn how to solve problems which makes them smarter. Apartfrom that, students can develop their time management skills while doing homework. Different subjects have differenttypes of answer schemes. This is why students should be aware oftheir time management when doing homework. For instance, if students set a certain time period when doing the homework,they will improve their mental intelligence to do a job on time. Especially when the teacher gives a deadline to submitthe assignment. Homework can also make students be more punctual in finishing their task. Students should not do their work atthe eleventh hour ifthey do not wantto face the music. Thus, homework can develop time management skills in students which makes them more disciplined. Moreover, homework can also increase the student’s confidence especially during examination. The more homework given by the teachers make the student practice many differenttypes of questions. When the student has done many types of questions,they will be ready to face the examination. Some students mightthink homework is a burden to do especially during the holidays but atthe same time, itimproves their knowledge in something thatthey had never expected. An example is when the students are answering the exam questions, no matter how hard the questions are,they know how to give the suitable answer. As a result,they can pass the examination with flying colours. Therefore, homework can also increase the student’s confidence. In conclusion, even ifthe students are too lazy to do their homework,they have to think of the outcome of doing homework. So,they would not have negative perspective allthe time about homework. Many benefits can be reaped when doing homework. This is why homework is essentialfor students. 50
HOW TO LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE? BY NUR JAZIMA SYAMIMI BINTI JAZMI PRA U 1UM In my humble opinion, having a “me” time is the best way to stay healthy. It’s because you need time for yourself to chill and relax from the hustle and bustle of life. So if you have “me” time in your daily schedule, you can do anything without feeling stressed. Furthermore, you can also have better days ahead. For example, I love writing poems. When I am writing my poems, I can release all my feelings. It does not matter if I am feeling over the moon or down in the dumps, I can pen it all down in my poem. I do realize not everyone can understand my problems so having this “me” time of writing poems is a tremendous release of stress and emotions. In addition, my collection of poems can be a treasure trove of memories in my old age. Hence, I am killing two birds with one stone. HOW TO LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE? BY MUHAMMAD FARID WAJDI ISHAK PRA U 1 UKM From my point of view, we must avoid watching inappropriate materials on social media. Sadly, not many people have taken this seriously. Watching pornography and surfing dark web sites can destroy one’s mental and physical health. When this habit becomes an addiction, people will startto either feel disgusted or ashamed with their hidden secrets. Even the well-known Persian philosopher, Imam al-Ghazali has quoted, “To destroy man, show him pornography”. Therefore, I strongly believe avoiding this negative habitis the most effective way to lead a healthy lifestyle. 51
TITLE: TRAGEDIES CAN BE PREVENTED. NUR HIDAYAH BINTI MOHD ISA PRA-U 2UKM There are many tragedies that are happening around us. It may take many lives including our loved ones. Some examples of tragedies that may happen are accidents, kidnapping and others. People often say thattragedies can be prevented. I partially agree with this statement. I strongly believe tragedies can be prevented by getting enough rest before driving and be more careful. However, some tragedies happen because of other people. So, we cannot fully preventthe tragedies from happening. Firstly, tragedies can be prevented by getting enough rest especially before driving. Some tragedies especially road accidents happen when the drivers feel sleepy or tired while driving. They might not have enough rest due to overload of work or do not have proper hours of sleep. Most accidents happen at night. This might be due to micro sleep while driving. For example, most accidents happen during festivals like Hari Raya or Chinese New Year. People have long hours of journey and have to drive for many hours. They do not stop at the rest areas like the RnR and continue driving eventhough they are tired. Thus, indirectly some of these tragedies like accidents can be prevented by getting enough rest. Next, tragedies can also be prevented by being more careful. This is especially for women or mothers. We can avoid tragedies like kidnapping or murder from happening. For example, there was a case a few years ago in Malaysia, where Nurul Nadhirah was reported missing after her mother let her go to a nearby shop to buy instant noodles and eggs.Surprisingly, she was 5 years old when the tragedy happened and she was alone at that time. The poor girl was kidnapped and murdered! Her mother thought when the shop was nearby their house, it was safe to let her child go there alone. Hence, tragedy can be prevented if we are more careful because we do not know what will happen in the future, as the saying goes, it is no use crying over spilt milk! Thirdly, some of tragedies cannot be prevented by ourselves because it may be caused by other people. For example, the tragedy of Malaysian Airlines (MAS) MH17 that was shot down by an air missile. It was shot by the Ukraine army near the towns of Torez and Snizhe. Nobody thought that the crash would happen and it could not be avoided because it was such an unexpected tragedy that will be remembered. Therefore,the crash of MH17 became a tragedy that could not be prevented by ourselves because it happened due to other people and thus, it was out of our control. In conclusion, some tragedies can be prevented but not all. We must be aware of what is happening around us. It is because if we are aware of our surrounding, we can avoid the tragedy from happening as the saying goes “better to be safe than sorry”. 52
《两家分界间的童年》 ⽉⼄ 还记得⼩时候邻居家特别有趣。 ⼩时候邻居家养了两只鹅和⼏只鸡，我每天早上都会被邻居养 的鸡和不知道从哪⾥传来的诵经声吵醒， 然后充满怨念地把头深深埋进被⼦⾥⾯再次⼊睡，等再次醒来已经太阳晒屁股了，这次是被太阳和被⼦ 热醒的。 早上起来吃了早餐，我就会出去院⼦那边看隔壁家的鹅和⼀直 “咯咯”叫不停的鸡。有时候那⼏只鸡会啪 啪地扇着翅膀，试图⻜起来，结果它们就“跳”来我家了，还不能⾃⼰再跳回去，⼀到这个时候，它们就 叫得更欢了。它们⼀边怪叫⼀边在我家院⼦跳个不停，还在我家院⼦⾥种着的⽼树下不停刨⼟，随地拉 屎！结果就是在我家院⼦被搞得鸡⻜狗跳乱七⼋糟的时候，我笑着看它们蹦跶， 然后爸爸把它们给抓回 去过后，我⼀个⼈哭丧着脸把满地的泥⼟和那群臭公鸡拉出来的屎收拾⼲净。 天知道鸡屎到底有多臭！⼀颗鸡屎就可以媲美⼀⼤坨养⽜⼈家 放⽜过后他家⽜在我家⻔⼝拉的粪了！这 让我从⼩就对屎充满丰富的认知：壁⻁和兔⼦的便便没有味道，猫咪的有⼀点臭，⽺不会随便在我家⼤ 便，鸡屎永远是最臭的，⽜粪它拍⻢也赶不上！ 每到这种时候我就会对那⼏只臭鸡格外怨恨，然⽽这⼏只鸡的 恐怖程度还⽐不上邻居家那两只鹅！每天 天亮以后不⽌那群鸡会乱叫，连那两只鹅也会开始捣乱！两只鹅时不时⼤叫，时不时在我跑去观赏的时 候⽤头撞那⽤来隔着两家的铁⽹，那两只鹅当时已经是⼤鹅了，甚⾄⽐当时的我都要⾼⼤，它们⼀直啄 着，冲撞着铁⽹， 看起来像巨兽，两张鹅脸在我看来实在⽆⽐凶狠，好像把铁⽹撞下 来之后就要跑过来咬我⼀样，看起来 特别凶狠恐怖。直到有⼀天， 那两只鹅还真的快把铁⽹撞倒撞坏了，邻居才赶紧加上⼀层东西套 住那铁 ⽹，让⽹牢固⼀点，只是那东西还是阻挡不了两只⼤鹅对我 的热情，它们仍在每天乱叫着冲撞铁⽹，⽽ 我每天还是⼀边⼼惊胆 战着它们的狠样，⼀边笑着看它们冲不过来的样⼦。 邻居家还种着好多树，⼀些是花树，⼀些是果树。我不认得那 些花是什么花，不过看起来实在美丽极 了，各种姹紫嫣红的花在不同的树上盛开，有的是粉⾊的，有的是⼤红⾊的，每朵花都是不同的形状， 不⼀样的美丽！邻居家的树总会⻓到我家来，不过⼩时候 的我知道采花不好，尤其是采别⼈的花不好，所以我只是看着欣赏， 没有把它们采下来戴在头上，做成 花环，或者⽤稚嫩的⽅法尝试提 炼花瓣那美丽的颜⾊，再加上花朵没有太多玩法，所以我就渐渐⽐ 较少去欣赏它们了。只是，果树就不 ⼀样了。虽然我知道偷采别⼈ 的东西不是很好，但是我还是敌不过肚⼦⾥的馋⾍，偷偷拔了邻居 果树上 的⼏颗⻰眼甜甜嘴。 邻居家种了好多种果树，有⻰眼树，⾹蕉树，红⽑丹树，还有 ⼀些种在更深处的其他果树，不过伸来我 家院⼦的只有⻰眼树和⾹ 蕉树。我只拔了⼏颗⻰眼，并没有拔⾹蕉，⼀是因为⾹蕉⽐较⼤根， 也⽐较稀少，偷拔⾹蕉感觉⾃⼰特 别缺德，⼆是因为它们看起来还 没熟，三是我并没有特别喜欢吃⾹蕉。我拔下了⼏颗⻰眼，依稀记 得好像是拔了五六颗的样⼦，三颗给 了妈妈，三颗留给我⾃⼰。拨 开⻰眼上薄薄的⽪，饱满甜腻的果⾁在⼝中喷着汁⽔，整个⼝腔都 充满⻰ 眼清⾹的甜味，我连喝了⼏⼝⽔才把甜味冲淡，留在⼝中的 只剩下⻰眼的清⾹，还有⼀点偷采⻰眼的罪 恶感。后来因为罪恶感 的原因，我之后嘴馋只会找找地上有没有从树上掉下来的新鲜⻰眼， 再也不偷偷采树上的⻰眼了。 邻居家和我家之间的分界是我的童年，分界间有看起来⾮常凶 猛的⼤鹅，只会跳来我家却跳不回去的肥 鸡，⻓到我家来盛开的美丽花朵，掉到我家的甜甜⻰眼和已经枯了的⾹蕉树树叶，还有各种常⻅却也好 看的不知名⼩野花，以及我家那已经快⻓到邻居家那边的芦荟，跟⼀个看热闹不嫌事⼤的那个⼩⼩的 我。 这是我的童年，我的回忆，我永远也不会忘记分界间这些有趣 的⼩事物，它们是我最质朴，天真，平凡 ⼜可爱的⼩故事，其中还带着⼀点⻰眼那甜甜的滋味。 53
