The Uncertain Future

I kept wondering the same things over and over again lately. My mind always thought of the uncertain life that I am going to have in Malaysia soon. Why would it not stop thinking? I definitely know it would be different from the life that I had have in Glasgow where life is easier to go through. It must be much harder. But I kept thinking about it. When I think about frightening things that might happen in Malaysia, some happy pictures pop up in my mind. It cools me down again and stop thinking about things that are uncertain. The pictures of what I always imagined, my family in Malaysia would greet me with happy smile and glad that I am with them again always made me smiled again. I always wanted to go back to my home country and I believe that is the better place for all of my family. I wonder how many times that I have mentioned to my mum that I missed my grandparents, my cousins, my uncles and my aunties. Sometimes I also wonder, am I the only one that is missing them? Do they miss me? Most of the time I answer myself that they do miss me but the other thought is still curious. How do I know for certain? After all, nothing is certain.

When I packing the stuff at home, my mind is always thought about things. I tried to do my best when packing things because I always believe that they are worth a better place like our home in Malaysia. I imagined lots of things that involved every single things that I have packed. Where would I put this and that? Would I use it right away or not? When I imagined the lovely house that were waiting to be decorated in Malaysia, I would say you will be the most lovely house in the world because my family have worked very hard for you to be decorated. And one day, my family would seat together on the sofa corner in the living room, talking about how lovely you have become. We would laughed, smile and talked for hours without a single sad thought. Like we often did here where we would watched movie together while eating crisps. It felt much better than going to a cinema. I wonder if my dream would come true? The dream of being happy together as a family no matter where we are and whatever tests that we have to go through.

No one know how the future would turn out to be. It might turned to be as you expected or the other way round. You just do not know for certain.



The series of The Lord Of The Rings have been our favourite of all when we had a family time.

Memories of Sekolah Malaysia Glasgow

Bowling at Xcape!

On the 21st of July 2008, Monday, I met at our meeting place, Xscape with my companion sister, Zakiyah. I was a bit late. We were supposed to meet at twelve pm but I arrived around ten minutes past twelve. I saw my friends were already waiting. There were Charlotte, Eleanor and Katia. As soon as I saw them running towards me, I was so happy and was jumping with joy. I wonder why? It was three weeks ago that we last seen each other; not very long ago. But, I felt that it was ages since I met with them.
Just before we go in to play bowling as planned by me and Charlotte, Eleanor gave me a birthday present. It was a lovely blue hand-made necklace made by herself. I knew that she always very creative and very good at cooking and art.
Bowling was very new to me. I still remember the first time I played bowling and it was last year when I was fourteen. Pc Nazri and Mc Azizah asked my family to join them playing bowling one day. I never hit the bowl until the second game. Pc Nazri and Mc Azizah never stop teaching me how to play and because of their kindness, I played rather well on the second game. Since that time, I always think that bowling is fine even if you can play well or not.
Same as my other time playing bowling, I missed quite a few and hit a few. I think I striked 3 times that day. Charlotte got the highest score amongst us but I don't think I can say she was good at bowling. It was just that Eleanor, Katia, Zakiyah and me were very crap at bowling compared to Charlotte. After the first game of bowling, at about 1 pm, we had lunch. I bought fish and chips and Charlotte bought crisps. We shared the food amongst five of us. It was very fun, just eating the lunch together.
We continued bowling for the second game. I thought I done much better than the first game. Charlotte still at the top and I got second. Well done me, I must say. We went to a 'sticker machine'. I do not even know what it is actually called. We had to put one pound in the machine and it took pictures of us in front of a screen and printed it off as tiny wee stickers. I never took pictures of silly faces, so, I was a bit clueless how to act. All I ever do was just smile the smilest smile I can and try to look as beautiful as I can but never silly ones. That day, in front of the machine I
