Last Trip

Assalamualaikum.

Yesterday my lovely lovely sister and her husband brought me to Genting Highlands. It was some kind of last trip before the new semester of  school starts. I was really excited because it's been a long time since I last came to this cool place.

We got off from the house at 10.40 am and soon arrived at Genting Skywal at 11.52 am. We decided to take the cable car for fun. However, it turned out that the queue was really really really, long. We spent about an hour just for queuing for it. I think it's a mistake that we went to Genting on weekend.

We bought the tickets for the outdoor and indoor theme parks. As soon as we entered the outdoor park, I rushed myself to one of the cool games there called Space Shot. 

I actually been longing to get onto this ride because the last time I was here, I wasn't allowed to ride it because I didn't reach the minimum height. Ohh sorry for being short I was just a little kid wanna ride this uh! But it's okay, now I've ride this and it's a real heart-throbbing experience!! It started as normal as it could like we have to sit normally on the seats and buckled everything up for safety. Then, the thing went slowly up till it reached the maximum height which was I guess about 185 feet. Almost like 18-storey building!! At the highest peak, we could see almost everything from the theme park to the back of the hills. It' very incredible!! The thing stopped for about a few seconds and suddenly without any warning, it went down so fast that our freaking butts were jumped up and kinda flying and it's not normal and I was so freaking scared and it went up and down, up and down for several times. I closed my eyes so tightly during all these ups and downs. I wasn't even scream or anything. Just sat there quietly and hoping it would stop as soon as possible. And it did stop, thank God!

Next ride was  a very awesome roller coaster called Corkscrew.

Oh my God, this ride was so awesome that I didn't stop screaming from the start until the end.  It went off so perfectly like it went up slowly and steadily to the peak, then suddenly went down and I was like "Oh my God, this is not funny this is not funny!!" so many times. Usually, a roller coaster just has one turning point where the passengers will turn upside down once. But on this Corkscrew ride, there's two turning points!! Which I wasn't aware of before I got onto it. It's just ridiculously fun!

Soon, we went to the indoor theme park. We rode a few cute harmless rides like the slow reindeer thing. Hahaha that was good actually after the long fast rides. And we filled up our tummies with Burger King and wandered around for about an hour then we went back to the cable car station. It's such a relief to see there were only two lines of people queuing for it. Honestly, the cable car ride at night was a lil bit scarier than during the daylight. Plus, with the dense fog outside, we couldn't see anything, what's there in front and at the back of us, we couldn't see a thing! Just blur.

As soon as the car engine started, I slept along the way until we reached home. It was a tired but a super  wonderful day!

Dear Saba

Dear Sabarina  binti  Azzizi,

        Assalamualaikum. Saba, I've been reading the entries in your blog recently. I knew you wrote about me and some of our friends too. I know you were hurt. I know. I'm sorry that our friendship became like this. I don't know what's the main reason anyway. I don't know how this happened. Frankly speaking, I seriously missing our old moments. From 2009. Yes, 2009. It's okay that you're mad of me, of us. I know you feel humiliated and betrayed. To be honest, NIR and I actually do talk about you sometimes. We're missing you! We're missing our friendship like in 2010. We were so bound together. I don't know what happened in 2011. I was separated from all of you. That year, I feel betrayed. Yes, betrayed. By my own, best friends. I don't know if that's the reason we are all separated in our own ways now. I am not sure. I want you to know that I never want this to be happened. But it did. And I'm sorry. I really am SORRY. We planned to stay together forever, but we didn't. We plan, but Allah decides. It's okay, we're still friends, right? Until then.

I love you, Saba.

PMR Results

Assalamualaikum.

Hello.

On December 19 2012, which make that a few days ago, the PMR results came out. I can never tell you how nervous I was the day before I got the results. I couldnt stop thinking, worrying, scared, frightening about the day. I thought about a lot of things. "What if I don't get the straight A's?" "My parents would be very devastated" "Teachers would be so surprised, and worse, disappointed of me" "People around me will be talking behind my back like OH MY GOD, Farah didn't get straight A's for her PMR?! OH MY GOD!! What a shame she's brought to her family!" 

All the thoughts kept on running jumping squirreling in my mind like a big tornado! And at the moment, I realized I COULDN'T CALM MYSELF. AT ALL.

Another story is about my friend. You know, we have our own Whatsapp Group since August. And there are 5 people in the group. A week before the PMR results were announced, one of my friend left the group without telling us why. She just left. Without any response to all of our questions. She just disappeared. Just like that. At first, I was kind of annoyed by her antics of ignoring us and not replying any of our messages. At one point, I had enough!!! I stopped talking to her. I thought if she wanna talk, she'll talk. A few torturing days later, she came back. We were thrilled, to be honest! She explained to us why did she leave. She was having some kind of panic attack about the results. She scared that she might be the only one who would not get the straight A's. We were really mad at first, because we thought that she's not the only one having the panic attack, we were too! But we didn't leave!!! However, we let the thing slide away and never mention about it anymore.

So, the day had come! The results day!! The results came out at 10.30 in the morning. That morning, I tried so hard to calm myself. It was not really working. I recited a lot of prayers because I was soo soo sooo scared. I could really feel the blood in my body became hot and almost exploded. My mum accompanied me to school. As soon as I arrived at school, I went to my class's table and saw my beautiful class teacher, Puan Nur Aziah. She's holding the result slips. GASP! Tears running!! Nose getting wet!! Hands getting cold!! Okay calm down calm down! Suddenly, my teacher said,

 "Farah, congratulations, straight A's for you!"

I couldn't help it! I couldn't help it! I burst into some kind of baby cry and saw my friends Ilham, Marsya and Fara. I saw my mum crying tooo. I saw her tears running down her cheeks. It's so beautiful. I shook my teacher's hands and thanked her. A LOT. Then I give my mum the tightest hug that I could give to her. 

Alhamdulillah! I was soo soo soo glad that my friends and I got straight A's for our PMR exam! All of my classmates got straight A's except for one student. He got 7A's 1B. It's okay, we've tried our best. Alhamdulilah. 

On the way back home, I thought about all the efforts my friends and I gave for the exam. All the tuition classes, quiz in Whatsapp, extra study group after school, all of them! And now they are all paid off! Alhamdulillah.

Thank you Allah. Thank you ma abah. Thank you teachers. Thank you friends. Thank you everyone.
