BESTARI 2022 A SCARY STORY IN MY SCHOOL Have you heard of the word ‘monomaniac’ ? Monomaniac is a person who is obsessed or who has enthusiasm in one thing. That thing can actually be a person, a place or something that is bizarre to be obsessed with. Well , in my case, it is a person. This incident happened to my friend, Batrisyia. She is the definition for ‘beauty with brain.’ Everyone in school, especially teachers knew her as she was the school’s role model every year. One day as we were having lunch at the cafeteria, there was this one weird boy who had been eyeing on Batrisyia as he sat alone in the shady corner. I tried to shrug it off, but soon it became worse. He followed us as we were on our way home. Since then, my suspicion had grown stronger. One day, Batrisyia came running and told me that the boy who was following her confessed to her and told her that he was obsessed over her for years like a monomaniac. After that incident, the boy did not follow Batrisyia anymore. We felt relieved. Unfortunately, things turned darker than I thought. The boy committed suicide in the school’s storage room after writing a gory hand written letter to Batrisyia. The most terrifying was the letter was written with blood. This traumatized Batrisyia since then. Her mental was disorganized and so had to be sent to a mental hospital. Until now, I feel devastated over her condition. I really hope one day she would recover from the traumatized incident. The lesson I learnt was if we found someone suspicious following or stalking us, tell your parents immediately. Do not wait until it is too late. NOR SHAFIQAH BT NOR AZRI
BESTARI 2022 A Scary Story In My School “Wais” I heard a loud voice calling my name. I turned around and saw my friend Amir chasing after me. “Wais can you accompany me to block C, I want to take my note book”. “Do you realise what time it is now?” I asked him while showing my watch. “Please man, I don’t want to fail this subject and all my notes are in that note book”, said my friend Amir sadly. Block C is a well known place in our boarding school as the most haunted place. Although I felt butterflies in my stomach, I still accompanied him because I know he does need to pass the class to go to the chess tournament. It was all dark in block C. The worst part is that his class was located on the third floor. We were not allowed to turn on the light because we don’t want to get caught by the security. So I brought my own flashlight. When we arrived at his class, he quickly went for his notebook while I waited in the corridor. After that we started walking back to our hostel. “Wow this is easier then expected”. I mumbled to myself. It was silly of me to think that it was all for tonight. When we were going down the stairs, every single light in Block C was turned off. It was pitch black. Suddenly I heard my friend screaming while pointing at our security guard running away from Block C. I told my friend to stay calm and to start walking back to our hostel. “Wais let’s sing to keep away the awkwardness” my friends voice broke this quiet night. “Stupid idea it is but I like it” I replied. “Oh we know we have come to die we know we came to die”. We started singing the old British army song. Suddenly, we heard a creepy voice, saying “Have you got what you came for?”. Without hesitation I ran for my life leaving behind my friend while screaming “Everybody for themselves!” When I arrived at my hostel, I went straight to bed and acted like nothing have ever happened. The next morning, I fell ill together with my friend. Both of us had to retake the exam after we recovered. I bet my friend is still mad at me. The lessons that learned were never go anywhere late at night and never trust your friend especially the one who is scared of ghost MUHAMMAD IRFAN UWAIS MOHD KHAIRI
BESTARI 2022 FIRST DAY IN A NEW SCHOOL A gentle ray of sunshine tickled my face as it started to peep out through the window. The deafening sound of my alarm clock woke me as I started to yawn. “The day is finally here,” I said to myself. I was extremely nervous thinking about how should I fit in with the other students in my school. It all began when my father got offered a high position jib by his manager in a new town. Without a doubt, my father accepted the offer and we had to move as well because of the long distance between his workplace and our house. As I got ready for my first day of school, my mum could see my worried face as she patted my head. “Do not worry, you will get along just fine with the other kids,” she consoled me. Hearing that, I felt a bit better. Then, dad drove me to my new school and advised me to just act like how I normally do. I nodded and immediately got off the car upon hearing the bells ringing. “Here we go”, I said to myself as I step into the school. There were many unfamiliar faces and everything was so new to me. As my steps were getting heavier, I could feel a gentle tap on my back. To my shock, Kyle, who is my primary school friend, is a student here! I was extremely grateful that we share the same class. As the school bell rang, he walked me to our class. My class teacher, Jennie was super nice. I introduced myself to my classmates and they clapped and happily welcomed me. All my pent up worries perished. During recess, with Kyle’s help I got to know the school better. As the last bell rang, we said our good byes and went on our own ways. It turned out , that my first day at school was not so bad after all. I made lot s of friends and the teachers were very helpful. I am super grateful that everything worked just fine in the end.

BESTARI 2022 FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL It was the 30th December of 2018, I was preparing my luggage and my items for my first day in my new residential high school in Kelantan located at Pengkalan Chepa. I packed up all my stuff and went outside the house to be picked up and sent by my father. I was a bit excited but rather curious about the new school. When I arrive, I quickly headed into one of the dorm I was assigned. Seeing as the dorm was empty, I realized I was the first person that came. It had 8 double deck beds, 2 windows and only 4 ceiling attached turning fans. I was a bit disappointed about the dorm being a bit too crowded and had very little room for privacy. Nevertheless, I cope myself through it and accepted it as an obstacle in my life. Fast forward into 2 months later where everything became chaotic. Lots of students were making complaints about leaving and dropping out on purpose. The new batch of students had so many issues. They were very troublesome and lacks major discipline In experience, I had my money stolen two times and was bullied so much I became famous as a laughing stock for the school but in a harshest way. I was shamed for doing something on a daily basis and even for something that doesn’t happen or exists. My innocent soul had to cope through 3 years of pain and struggle in my opinion in the worst place in the world A lot of my trauma was made from that place and I will never hope to return nor do I want to see it again. The school lied about everything. They lied about their big budget, the standards, the cleanliness, how much they care about the balance between religious and academics. They treat me as if I’m worth as a pebble on the road side meant to be kicked around and stepped on I’ve learnt the biggest lesson in my life is to never let anyone take control of your future even if it’s a family member. I’ve wasted three years of my life and childhood learning nothing but coping day and night constantly. I expected a good life of an average student adventuring through science but was met with an underperformed school so strict, it can be compared to prison and juvenile center. My disappointment is immeasurable and my mind and thoughts were ruined. IMAN HAIQAL SYAAWALUDIN
BESTARI 2022 WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF STUDYING ABROAD？ Studying abroad has always been a popular desire for students wishing to learn a new culture and to improve upon their language skills of their destination's mother-tongue. There are both many boons and banes of studying abroad. These range from financial burdens to excelling in a new language. Let me begin with discussing the disadvantages of studying abroad. First, the parents will be overwhelmed with a large financial burden. Travelling is not cheap, and on top of that, the cost of living can be outrageous in the foreign country. In addition, the student might become more frustrated with themselves. This is partly due to their lack of language skills or maybe the extreme cultural differences. On the contrary , there are numerous advantages. The foreign- bound student will develop a more open-mind to other cultures, all while they are able to experience travelling around the world. Also, the student will create a higher level of independence and will have many opportunities to improve their language skills. Often times, college credits can be earned towards their degree at some universities. I was never given the amazing chance to travel abroad during my school years. So even though I would miss my family and friends during the holidays, I would love to been given the opportunity to travel abroad and to study. On top of the many advantages listed above, I could make new friends and business contacts for future jobs. Networking is a vital when it comes to competing in the job- market of today. Who knows, one of the people I meet through my travels could be my open door into obtaining my dream job! To summarize, studying abroad has some highly desirable aspects, but it also has some less desirable aspects. It is a difficult predicament to be in, but the positives far outweigh the negatives when it comes to this specific situation. A lifetime of knowledge while being fully immersed in a language is far more beneficial to me in my future than the possibility of missing my family for a short period of time.

BESTARI 2022 The First Time When I think about the first time, I think of the things we could have done with our time When I was yours and you were mine Indeed, we had all the time We were neighbours when we first met Peeping from our little house Though my memory grows faint Nevertheless my love has never wavered Time passes by since that memory We have new ones to share Some are extraordinary, some are mundane, Some don't even seem fair To be without you is an ache A feeling of seeing you in all things and colours I know we have our own journey, to fulfil our own destiny All I want you to know is I think of you in every breath I take However, it's just a false hope I will flourish in my quest to live on, And I know you'll do the same We are unjustly apart, Only to realise how much we need to be together
BESTARI 2022 I'm still wearing the watch that you gave Even though we're apart, I'm still missing you But I can't tell you because it is so complicated Do you feel the same way as I do? It's been years And somehow, we unexpectedly bumped into each other Tears welled up in your eyes And I felt like I'm the worst person on Earth There were times I thought to myself It was never too late To start anew You started running I felt like crying As we were eye to eye. You said there was no use of trying I tried begging. But you said that I had become annoying You let go of my hands, falling. As my heart started shattering
BESTARI 2022 You, yes you alone could radiate warmth and happiness in my life However, you made me realise that I was only building castles in the air I thought you were A shoulder I could cry on For you, I was nothing but a burden My world went crumbling endlessly It is not wrong to have high hopes, but it was my fault To put my hope at the wrong places Alas, my hope should be toward my Creator alone Days and weeks have passed, But I am still thinking of you You, I can still recall that have always been there for me But now I try to erase the memories The first time in my whole life to forget of your existence It is suffocating, but at least I am trying Even though I don't know Where you are at the moment, My heart is searching for you and will always do I've never felt like this for anyone but you Nevertheless, I have learnt That love sometimes comes like a dream, And leaves like a nightmare By: NURUL IMAN MAWARDAH BINTI MUHAMAD ZAKUAN. 3 KEKWA
BESTARI 2022 林纬哲 LIM WEI ZHE （5 bunga raya） 《网课的利与弊》 现今的疫情开始肆虐，导致学生们无法到达课堂上课，所以老师们开始下载一些应用程序 如腾讯会议或者是钉钉进行教学。网课便开始铺天盖地的席卷了全国的学校。无数家培训 教育机构推出了各式各样的网课，无数中小学子投身其中。而关于这场网络授课的风潮， 引起了不少的争论。 首先，网络授课是为了保障了同学们的学习进度，使同学们不在被疫情的影响下耽误学 习。现今只有网络授课是疫情下对教育的一种补救。那些中五的学生们，即将面临他们学习 生涯中的转折点那就是面对大马教育文凭考试，网络授课可以使他们继续学习，以全力应付 他们的考试。 网络授课却要考验学生的自制能力以及积极性。这是因为老师和学生不在一个空间里， 老师无法观察到学生的学习状况。学生是否在学还是在装学？甚至只是进了网课完全没听老 师讲课反而跟朋友玩起游戏；有些学生甚至利用网络考试的漏洞来作弊。网络授课的好处有 多少？只能依靠学生的自制力来决定。 网课还在一个程度上给了老师和学生们不少负担以及压力。首先是学生，从来没有接触 过网络授课的教育，学习氛围很难形成，而且很容易被身边的事物打扰而不能专心学习。学 习习惯也很难养成，这是对学生的一种考验。然而老师们，正如网络上所说：一夜之间从实 体教师变成了线上主播。各种功能都需老师们自己探索与摸索，网络课程的课件制作比学校 课件制作难上加难。在学校不常回答问题的人，在家便不常回答问题了，而且还会找各种各 样的借口用于逃避老师问的问题。学生们会说自己的网络不好甚至有些学生还说自己的手机 都是跟家人共享的，所以无法上网课。除此之外，老师们也惩罚不到那些扰乱课堂次序的同 学，管也管不着。而在学校那些自制性较差的学生，网络授课就等于给他们延长了假期。表 面是在上用电脑网课，背地里却用手机点开了游戏。 其次，最重要的一点，便是网络授课自然而然是依靠电子设备来完成的。同学们和老师 们都需要对着电脑一坐下就是一整天了，这导致眼睛容易疲倦而影响了学生和老师的视力。 但从全局出发，学校人流量较大，学生防范意识不强，疫情当前，只有网络授课也确实响应 了“停课不停学”的号召。 总而言只，网课拥有有不少优点，也有不少缺点，只希望同学们都可以自己提高自制力，把 握好网络授课的节奏，全力以赴应付接下来的考试。在这个突如其来的网课，它虽然改变了 好多学生的计划，但只要我们初心不改，逆流而上，顶峰相见 。考生们加油！！
BESTARI 2022 呂姿萱 EZANN LEE ZIXUAN（5 seroja） 《毕业快乐》 夏日阳光温暖，风也温柔，树影婆娑，蝉鸣肆意。现在呢，是傍晚五时，我 还是一如既往的听到了那个熟悉的铃声以及熟悉的跑闹声，不过这大概是中 学生涯中最后一次听到了。 夕阳的光线照射在我的位置上，把橙黄色的颜色反映在我的课桌上，看了 眼时钟，在心里默默倒数着时间。因为一个小时之后即将会结束了我的中学 生涯。时光飞逝我的脑海里，慢慢的回忆起了五年前的我。那时候我刚到这 间学校时是多么的懵懂和憧憬。没想到那么快转眼间就五年过去了。然而， 我也从一开始初来乍到的小学妹成了现在小学妹们的学姐；从一开始的不熟 悉校园环境到现在的轻车熟路。当然，这中间包含了很多很多有趣的，难忘 的故事以及经历，也可以说是一个少女的成长经历。 毕业?其实什么是毕业？在我看来，毕业其实就是一件喜事，就是恭喜你已 经成功拉进了与山顶的距离。这时，我们要收拾好我们的情绪，然后呢就要 跟中学时期的朋友告别以及跟学校告别，并且谢谢他们五年以来的陪伴。之 后，就要收拾好心情再继续以及努力地把这座山爬完。因为，毕业就是过完 这一阶段属于你的篇章，然后再继续开启下一个属于你的篇章。 这时，我看着桌上老师分派回来早已堆积如山的试卷和作业本，再拿着那 个我们曾经不想再看到的课本，之后再看着白班的那四个字“毕业快乐”以及 转头看了身边那个跟你同班5年的同桌。真的好奇怪啊，明明曾经那么讨厌他 们，为什么现在居然会不想要离开他们呢？好奇怪啊，明明之前一直在期盼 着放学，为什么现在并不想听到放学的铃声了呢? 我再次拉回思绪，慢条斯理地收着那堆积如山的作业本和试卷。如果真要 形容我的试卷数量的话，那可能就好比海里的海水一样深不见底。同时，我 的同桌正在我耳边叽叽喳喳的感慨着他与我相遇到相知的过程。老实说，其 实我在学校的生活并不是很惊艳，但它还是在我的“篇章”里增添了很多不一 样的色彩。在这里面遇到了很多朋友、老师，甚至还认识了很多不同种族和 文化的异族同胞，也学习了很多知识，也是时候对这间学校，对我可爱的朋 友们，对我尊敬的老师们说声再见了。 当然，身为学姐的我很想要向那个2018初来乍到的我说声，你辛苦啦，经 历了这么多一切都会值得的，也谢谢你一直以来快快乐乐地过完了这个“篇章 ”。 那个让我不舍的铃声还是响起了，我看着很多和我穿着一模一样的毕业服 ，心里不由自主感慨了起来。我也很想对他们说:“毕业快乐，有缘再见。”
BESTARI 2022 许蕙棋 KOR HUEY CHYI （5 Bunga Raya） 《走进乡间》 田野里的稻草黄澄澄的，路上的小草绿油油的，太阳的光芒撒在水面 上，让这个场景变得很生动，让我移不开眼。这是我初次走进乡间的感 受。 这个学校的年尾假期，我与家人决定与旅行社的人一起前往乡间。导 游在巴士上兴致勃勃地描述着乡间的人事物而我在一旁看着乡间的景色 。初次见乡间的景色，给我的第一感觉是很美好的。不负众望，当巴士 走进乡间时，我看见了一座座高山，一道道小河和很多片稻田。天空里 ，乳白色的云朵挨成一大片，慢悠悠地飘动着，就像是田野里吃草的羊 群。这般景色，让我感觉我好像踏进了梦幻般的只会出现在故事里的世 界。 到达民宿，我和一群一起来乡间的人们收拾好行李一同入住民宿。我 所住的房间是靠近这所民宿种植的地方，只要我往窗外一看就会看到各 种各样的种植物，草莓，蔬菜，等等。我打开窗户，突然，一道暖风袭 来，房间本来冷清清的温度瞬间暖和起来了。外头的树木随风摇摆，树 叶仿佛在跳舞。我收拾好东西，导游便在外边叫我们一起出去走走吃东 西。 我和家人在最后边走着，我在小路上看见农民们正在劳作，和这片他 们劳作的成果的场景。我偶然间想到了一个南宋古诗，《乡村四月》，“ 绿遍山原白满川，子规声里雨如烟。乡村四月闲人少，才了蚕桑又插田 。”路上居住在那里的人们热情的与我们打招呼，我还吃到了当地的食物 ，味道与在我居住的地方截然不同，让我胃口大开。最后过了几天，到 了我们大家即将离开的时候，当地的人一同送我们，我看见大家的眼神 都很依依不舍的。 最后我们回到了巴士，在回去的路上，我发觉我的心境不一样了。在 我居住的地方总是在快速的行动着，让我感觉如果我停下来放松下来就 是一个与他人不同的现象，最后导致自己身心疲惫。然而，在这次走进 乡间后我感觉我的身心都得到了一定的放松，疲惫的心情也全然的消失 。再放松的情形下，我做事的速度也提高了。 我认为人们必须要适当的放松，多去旅游，不要整天呆在家，或者一 整天工作。我们应该要让自己放松，以取得更好的成果同时也能让自己 心情愉悦，不会感觉疲惫。
BESTARI 2022 姚惠珊 YEW HUI SHAN （5 Bunga Raya） 《你的对手永远是你自己》 人生短短几个秋，我们没有必要因为一些挫折，生命中的坎坷又或者是败给了他人而 感到失望以及难过。唯有记住那一份失败的感受，才能激发自身的潜能。何况，我们的对 手不是别人，而是我们自己，这是因为一山还有一山高所以自我突破才能以他人对抗。 就好比我们输了一场比赛之后，觉得对手的实力太强了，又或者是看到了优越的对手 之后瞬间没了最初的自信，冥冥中感觉自己比不过。反之，又或者赢了比赛之后，觉得自 己仿佛赢了全世界似的，甚至还有一些人还会觉得自己可以以一敌百，而导致得意忘形。 此刻，心态是我们的核心。我们要知道，我们的对手一直以来只有自己，未来也只会是自 己。我们赢了别人也没什么好光荣，我们反而是要继续前进，一直不断超越自己，以拿到 比此刻还要高的成就；输了之后，我们要超越的对手也还是自己，你超越别人没用，有可 能别人已经把目标放得更高更远了，而你的努力，也不可能会让你超越未来更好的他。所 以，和之前的自己做比较以及把自己当成对手，才能够真正促使自己进步。 举个例子，才刚刚学会走路的小孩，他们不可能会知道他们的对手是谁，他们也不可 能会知道完成之后会得到什么成就。那时候的他们没有认知，然而他们也只懂得跌倒之后 再次爬起来，再次战胜自己前一次学习的成绩。隔天，他们再次学习走路时，就会再次的 超越昨天，并且抱着一颗永不放弃的精神，直到行走得平稳。连小孩都把自己当成了最大 的对手，以及在面对任何一次失败时都带着永不放弃的精神。小孩都一直保持着自己的初 心已经目标，但是比他们年长的我们却不是这样的，我们已经把自己的初心慢慢的遗忘以 及自己的目标也不稳定，甚至有一些人还会在败给他人之后就放弃了，并觉得自己不可能 会达成。 然而在日常生活中，也是如此。我们就拿烘焙来说，我们在一开始学习的时候，也不 可能一气呵成以及在第一次学习就能够完成得像专业的烘焙师一样，把蛋糕做的十全十美 。如此一来，我们何必和别人做比较，甚至把别人当做自己的对手呢？难道，我们的技术 能够比得过专业人士吗？当然，如果我们不断地超越自己的话，在将来的一天还是有机会 能够超越他们的，而且他们肯定也会有不足的地方，也不可能一直都是那么地完美。所以 ，我们怎么能够把除了自己以外的人当成对手？ 我们要知道，这个世界上有很多人，也会有很多人都在努力以及奋斗。我们如果把所 有人都当成对手的话，我们得到的成就和赢来的荣誉也只是别人短暂时光达不到的成就。 而且，有可能只是他们发挥失常之后才会得到的结果。这样一来，如果他们发挥得很好的 话，是不是我们又不如别人了呢？如果是这样比来比去的话，我们会赢得开心吗？或者是 我们的生活会有乐趣吗？ 在我看来，只有不间断的超越心中的自己，那时候不管是输赢，我们肯定都会拥有了 足够的满足感，甚至还比赢了别人还要开心。所以，别太在意别人的成就以及把别人当成 了自己的对手，这样是不值得的。所以我们要活在当下而不是忙碌的把自己融入进人以人 之间的攀比以及竞争。只有自己才会是自己最好的对手，超越自我，这样我们做任何事情 的时候才会变得有意义。
