10th Reflection

Worst luck that happened in my life is when i was 13 years old. On 2006, i am a form 1 student at SMKG2. The school is new, so there are no hostel occupant, no occupant at teachers apartment, no security that guard the front gate, its just new. So, this is what happen. The school's bell is ringing to show that its time to go back home. Its was 4:30 pm, all the students go back to their own home while i'm waiting for someone to pick me up. After a hour, no one came up and the number of students who are await for their bus are decreasing. Firstly i don't feel terrified, because i know that someone will pick me up. Then, i wait, and wait, the clock shows 6:10 pm. I started to feel worry, and its just the two of us that left at that schools, me and my friend, Zie, who i still didn't know her that time. We chat for awhile, and then her transportation has arrived. I become alone at the school, its dark and scary. I decided to wait until someone shows up. The clock shows 6:30pm, and still no one shows up. I was thinking, that if i stay a little longer, i might be in danger. So, i decided to walk home. On my way to the highway, a lot of guys just finished play football, they're on their way to the Yayasan Sabah's hostel, which is near with my school. So i'm scared that if something will happen, but they're nice guys. As i'm getting closer to the highway, i started to cry. Along way to my home, i cry, and cry. Suddenly, from the other side of the road, some car honk at me, as i see the car, i was relief, it was my mom. Then, my mom picks me up and she asks me what's wrong, why am i crying. I just told her, i was scared, that's all. Moreover, my mom ask me if my brother came to pick me up from school, and i just confuse. On our way to home, we saw my brother stay at the park chatting and laughing with his friends. My mom pissed off, and open the window, shouting at my brother, angrily. So, we were at home, and my brother quickly come home. He was scolded by my mom. Lastly, i found out that, my mom tells my brother to pick me up from school, but he doesn't do what he was told. I hate that day.

This is the best photo that brings a lot of memories. This photo was taken at Wisma Pertanian, Kota Kinabalu on 15th April 2012. That day is our special day to show our talent, because it is a Talent Day that held by our college, Cosmopoint International College of Technology (CICT). There are a lot of boy band, and for your information, it is only us that girl band joined the competition. At first, i thought that they will be booing our performance, but its out of my thought. All of the audience and the participants were surprise, enjoy and feel entertained by our performance, which is we never thought it would be epic. Surprisingly, the result is so not fair, because of there are 3 categories but only 3 prizes for all of the categories. It was really disappointing, yet we're not that upset because, the prizes were never pay for the sweet, enjoyable, and epic experience that had been etched in  each of our memories. Thank you for my team, TEAMWORK, for all the efforts we have made together. I will never forget this, because it was the first time that i perform as a band, a girl band.

I might say, I was in the butler and baker type of learners, because i still depend on someone to guide or tell me what to do and sometimes i think what is in the book is right. I need someone who have more experience to guide me. So, i need to think clearly and stand up for my self, thinking maturely, that no one will be able to help if i didn't make any decision all by my self, because one day, we will be alone and facing tough problems. So, just have a faith on yourselves to stand up and keep forward.

       The conclusion are, people always blame nature for their own poor planning. They have cut down the forests and built their homes right in the middle of gullies and natural drainage, and when something happen they'll curse Mother Nature. Unlikely when a volcano blows, earthquake, and large meteorite , that's what called natural disaster. So, don't try to compare man-made disaster and natural disaster, because it proves that human are really not thinking clearly.
