He has always been interested in finance and dreamt of running his own company. Ray was already working and saving at a young age. When he was 12, he helped his uncle sell fruits at a night market once a week, at weekends and during long school holidays. His uncle paid him RM20 for a full day’s work. He earned between RM5 and RM10 if he worked for several hours. Ray never spent his money on food or toys. He saved it all in the bank. A few years later, he did garden work or errands for his relatives and neighbours. They paid him RM10 an hour. Even though he was making more money now, he saved eighty percent of what he earned. Saving became a habit for Ray. As a result, he had the freedom to buy large items when he was a young adult, without going into debt.

I’m more careful with my money now. I save half and use the other half to buy the things I need.” Ramesh receives a fixed sum every month but Ai Ling’s pocket money is not fixed. She is 14 years old and her parents give her RM40 every month. “But I can earn more if I do extra chores. The other day, my mother paid me RM15 for painting my grandmother’s front gate. However, I do not get offers for extra chores every month,” she says. Ai Ling is a good saver too. She never spends any of the extra money she earns. Her goal is to save RM30 every month. Suhaila is also 14 years old. She gets pocket money from her parents too but she is interested to earn more. “I get RM50 a month. I only have RM10 left every month which I deposit into my savings account. But I really want to save more,” she says. When I asked Suhaila how she plans to increase her savings, she said, “Here is my plan! My mother runs a small food business. She sells cookies and pies. She gets a lot of orders during the festive season, so she employs extra workers. I can work for her and get paid too. I hope she agrees.” I wished Suhaila all the best. I got started on my article the same day I completed my interviews. Among the three, I was very impressed with Suhaila because she is enterprising. I hope her plan works.

Exploring Kota Bharu Today is our last day in Kota Bharu. After having breakfast in our hotel, my father drove us to Pasar Siti Khadijah. This famous market is only a five-minute drive from our hotel. The ground floor had stalls selling fresh produce. We did not buy anything. The stalls were neatly arranged and filled with colourful fruits and vegetables. It was a beautiful sight, so I took a lot of photos. The stalls on the second floor sold spices, grains and snacks. My cousins and I bought some fish crackers. After that, we headed to the city centre to visit two museums. First, we visited the Kelantan State Museum. Then, we went to the Handicraft Museum. We spent over two hours at these museums. The exhibits were informative and interesting. Since we were still in the mood for handicrafts, my uncle suggested we visit a batik centre to see the batik-making process. Watching the artist draw a design and then paint it was fascinating. My cousins and I painted pieces of fabric with designs too. There were shops selling handicraft in the same area, so we did a little shopping too. My father bought a batik shirt for himself and a batik skirt for my mother. He also bought a traditional kite for me. After an early lunch, we went to Pantai Senok. This beach is known for its many thin, tall pine trees growing in rows in the sandy beach. My cousins and I took a lot of photos standing among the pine trees. We walked around the area; there were many shops selling local snacks and handicraft. My father and uncle bought more fish crackers. We had dinner at a seafood restaurant and then, returned to our hotel. At 8.47 p.m. that night, we left in the night train heading back to Gemas. PENERBIT ILMU BAKTI SDN. BHD.

Making Friends Through Sports My family and I moved to a new city late last year. I was not happy about it. I was leaving my friends, my school and my old way of life. But my father got a better job, so we ended up here. I was not looking forward to going to a new school. I would be the outsider. It would be a lot of effort to make friends let alone find good friends. It all seemed too much. But I did not have a choice. My younger sister was excited about going to a new school and making new friends. I did not want to dampen her spirit with my lousy mood. Everything was a blur on the first day. My class teacher introduced me to the class and I sat at the back. When the bell rang for recess, one boy invited me to join some of his friends at the canteen. He showed me around and after I bought my food, I sat with them. After a brief introduction, they started talking about football. I listened at first and then, someone asked me if I played. “I used to play for my school,” I said. Then, my classmate said, “We play in the field at Taman Gembira at weekends. Do you want to join us?” “That is where I live! Okay, why not!” That Saturday, I met my classmates and the others at the field. I felt awkward at first because they were a close-knit group. I listened when they talked. I watched when they played. But when I got in the field and started playing, I felt different. They were my teammates, not strangers. It got easier talking to my teammates off the field. We shared a common interest now. As the weeks went by, I felt like I was part of the group and my teammates became my friends.
