but there was a twist in my story....

i just thought that my friend editted my essay really well and i didnt want to put it to waste so just thought of sending all three essays eventhough i wont win but i just wanted the judges to read it.. all this may sound stupid but i just didnt think twice and sat down that night itself and just hand it in through email...with this small note..

To whom it may be concern,
I’m sending in my essay that I wrote after being supported by my best friend and I’m also sending in the essay edited by a friend of mine and now I would say that the essay is his now because he practically edited everything but I just needed to hand it in after all his hard work of working on my essay. I just felt he really put all my thoughts in really nice and good words that I’m really impress and I just want you to read. It was the first essay where I wrote about a story of a girl who changed her life after she shifted to Kuala Lumpur. But when my best friend read it she laughed and said it was to typical and it’s a normal story that people have read before so I sat down writing the second essay out of anger towards my best friend and another friend edited the essay really well that I didn’t have the heart to send it in as my essay because now I know its not mine. It maybe my ideas and thoughts but the words are all his and I just want to send it in as a sign of thank you to Vikash Khandar for his support for standing by me and his willingness to edit my essay even though it was the whole essay that needed to be edited. He told me to send in the essay as my essay but I said no because I wanted to be honest and I knew it wasn’t my hard work. Thank you to my best friend, Jeanette Chang that persuaded me to write and try writing anything with the topic of Tomorrow’s World and this is what I thought. Thank you for your time.

gave a friend to edit the second essay..

just thought of giving my second essay to a friend to edit it and see what happen to it..it was a total different essay that im so proud of because it was a really good essay...

My second edited essay: Tomorrow’s World
“God, not another one of those” and giggles, are amongst the reaction that I got when people read my essay on the “Social problems faced by youth today”, which was rightly based on drugs and smoking culture amongst the future generation of leaders. Despite the insufficient support that I gained from a certain group of peers, it is an undeniable fact that most of our senior generations have always had this niggling thought on the increase in rate of immoral activities within our age group, the pencilled leaders of tomorrow. This thought have constantly been scrutinized by them, with the introduction of various laws being amended to avoid a disastrous future that might await our race if these issues aren’t solved now. Therefore, the social issues that our generation have accepted as a mere part of our lives are actually a terrible wound that will have to be healed as soon as possible before it turns fatal.
Our generation have taken these issues ever so lightly in the face of reality. We may split ourselves, the human race into two major categories, the first revolves around a group of people who not only are well liberated but know the importance of education and the second rotates within a bunch of people who although are well educated, intend to not fully utilised the gift and status that they may acquire through their education background towards a more healthier future. I am not hinting at this bunch of people to buckle up and move forward in life because not everyone are meant to attain extraterrestrial success, instead, stand up and get noticed in their effort to improve and make our world a better place to live.
Why do we try our best to reduce our countries self esteem and respect in every possible aspect, when we ourselves never took the effort to stand up and make a difference and thrive on the foundation that our fore fathers laid all those years ago during our independence era? Isn’t this irresponsible act anything but an act of foolishness and insensitivity? Rather, I would like to reach out to all my fellow Malaysians to stand up and work hand in hand to bring our nation to the fore fronts of success in every aspect possible.
A worrying number of people think that sending their children overseas for higher studies will make them better people at the respected fields that they have chosen obviously had their reasons with all due respected to the international education methods, but why aren’t we giving a second thought at completing higher studies in our country? This issue have always raised more questions then answers with the thought that perhaps we need time to build a trust in products that are mothered in our own backyard but if someone doesn’t start a cycle, we will continue having an introvert mindset towards our education system and respected teachers. Mindset that strongly believes in the success rate of overseas courses for higher education compared to the higher education provided by various institutions in our country will force most Malaysian to looks elsewhere for opportunity, bringing a downfall to everything our education system stands for. Therefore, a strong reformation in the mindsets of most Malaysians are needed now and more then ever.
We have always had a lingering doubt even in the very people that we have entrusted our security matters as well. Our doubts have extended towards the capabilities of our Police and RELA personnel’s, so much so, we are even willing to break the rules that our set forward by them for our own security to vent our disbelief in their ability. Where is our community, our generation, the so called leaders of tomorrow heading towards? Perhaps the time has come to plant a note of fear in our community towards the rules and regulations, so that we would strongly abide them in the future as our last resort in combating crimes and instilling peace and harmony in our country.
We may have been trying our level best to improve the facilities available in our country and our government have tried to the best they could offer, but we have still not attained a high standard on these facilities. Despite having lots of transportation facilities that range from Light Rail Transit better known as LRT, to the in town bus facilities such as Rapid KL and Rapid Penang busses, we have forgotten our own moral values and indulged in our own leisure, so much so, we have stopped offering physically impaired people who need to use the seats more then us while travelling through this vehicles. So is it wrong to say that we need to change ourselves first before we could collectively move forward.
Apart from that, we have always looked upon our country lowly and always looked highly on western countries such as the United States of America, but why aren’t we striving to work towards building a nation that the world we look upon highly? This route is fairly simple that we just merely need to follow on the path that our fore fathers used to achieve independence and improve our countries reputation in many other field and criteria’s. We have always been proud of our independence and our collective battle towards the formation of Malaysia, where every individual was treated as an important part of the society. All we need to do is follow this route and build strong bond within our society and the rest will fall in the right place. Why condemn about our politicians? Why not stand up and make a difference by any means we could? We have to follow on the principal to walk the walk and talk the talk. We shouldn’t just let things go and expect others to create wonders after wonders in our country while we continue to ponder on the habit of pointing fingers because for every instance that we point a finger at someone, three fingers are pointing right back at us.
Every human being wants to make money and this has made us very ignorant towards our own social surroundings. For an instance, we don’t bother to even take the incentives to meet our neighbours regularly as we have embroiled ourselves in our day to day lives ever so flamboyantly; moving that much closer to attaining success, but this route has drastically disabled ourselves to differentiate the right from the wrong. I of all people would accept that money does a lot of bidding on our day to day life, but why do we have to be so engrossed in a mere piece of paper? Suddenly the feels like a huge stretch of road on a highway where every single vehicle is moving at such a high speed that not one soul is bothered to slow down and take notice of the beautiful life that surrounds them. Don’t we think that we are missing so many things in life by being ignorant towards our surroundings? My rant may sound just a petty talk, but we should try and glance back for a second on where are we heading towards and think of all the minor details in our lives that we have considered being inconclusive to our overall life. Do we need to make the necessary changes in our day to day life? Should we contribute in building a better surrounding? Do we need a stronger balance to move forward or are we perfect as we are? We seem to be talking highly on the green pasture that tomorrow will bring through our visions and goals, yet we are very much stuck in our current surroundings and have failed to progress at high rate. Therefore, lets all walk hand in hand to a better future rather than merely making plans for it.Let's begin a cycle of practicality in our quest for success.

then i sat writing my second essay...

then i sat down writing my second essay because like i said before the first one was boring....but obviously this second one was not editted yet...it was just a rough idea about things la...

My second essay: Tomorrow’s World
When someone reads my essay they say “ oh it’s so the typical normal story of drugs and smoking” and they give me the laugh that obviously means a thousand words but damn it this is the stories that is worrying our countries older generation about us the younger ones who are going to be their tomorrow’s world. They are worried with the rate of social problems that is arising in our country and what is going to happen in future if things do not get under control. So problems that we think is the normal usual problem is the problem that we need to really get rid of and do something with our younger generations otherwise it will keep on lingering on.
The teens these days take things so lightly. We have to kinds of people who are educated and know the importance of education and also the kind of people who maybe educated but yet don’t want to make a difference in their lives by working hard to achieve something in life. I’m not saying a world has to be full of smart people who know what they want in life and work hard because if that happens then no one will lose. But we hope for a world where people try their best to make this world a better place to live in.
Why do we want to condemn about our country when we ourselves are not making any difference to it? We condemn other people’s courage or willingness to make a difference but isn’t that making us seem like dumb people? Instead we have to help them out and if everyone gives a hand wouldn’t this country be a country to look up upon?
Parents think sending their kids overseas will make them gain new experience and obviously the education system is way better but here I say again why aren’t we giving chance to our Malaysian teachers to educate our children? Maybe we need time to develop our trust with Malaysian made products but if we don’t start the ball rolling then we will just continue the fact that we may have good teachers. Always we just say “ Oh going overseas is much better because they education better. Study in Malaysia sure no hope for job options.” So if our own Malaysian companies don’t give Malaysian graduates priority for jobs then obviously people will continue looking for options out of Malaysia and so how do we settle this kind of problem to change people’s perceptions on Malaysia education?
We don’t even trust our own security force like the police and Rela and instead we go against them so much and don’t even follow rules. I have friends who park wherever they like and they are not even scared of summons. Friends who steal people’s summons just to avoid getting a new summon. So what’s happening to our country if our younger generation is doing all this mischievous deeds? What’s going to happen with our tomorrow’s world? There is the need to arise the fear in us towards the security system then the country will be more under control which is obviously lower crime rates and more peace among community.
In addition we maybe trying to make facilities in our country better and I know our government is trying their very best but we are not helping it to be the best it could have been. There are so many kinds of transport in Malaysia like the LRT, Rapid KL buses and KTM. If we can’t even offer our seats to the disabled people then where has our entire moral gone too? So is it wrong to say that we need to change ourselves first before moving forward so rapidly.
Besides that we always feel small about our country and look at other countries like US but why can’t we help our country to be looked up upon by others? The same way we achieve independence and outsiders feel safe in our country and we are proud of that because we can accommodate to people so same way we have to achieve a lot more in other field. Why condemn about our politicians? Why not stand up and make a difference in any way we can? We have to start the principal to walk the walk and talk the talk. We can’t just let go and we expect wonders to happen in our country and never have the habit of pointing fingers at people instead analyse our own mistakes first.
Everyone is towards making money and this has made everyone so ignorant about their own surroundings. Example we don’t even know our own neighbours because we are just to busy with our own lives and trying to touch the sky without looking back at any point in life to analyse right and wrong. I know money talks but why be so money minded and forget to look around? Suddenly everything just feels like the world is progressing so fast and no one stops for a second to be nice. Don’t we think that we are forgetting so many things by being so ignorant? Aren’t we forgetting the love and bond of our family, the poor that may need a bit of our help financially and morally, the friendship between difference races, gaining knowledge in different fields compared to the one we are already familiar with ?
I don’t know all this may sound petty but just sit back for a second and think that are we going on the right path to build our world? Do we need to make any changes? Should we give a hand to make our world? Do we need a balance in our world or should we just move on and create our own world were everything is perfect? We talk highly about the tomorrow’s world but here we are stuck in the current world with nothing to be proud about. So just let’s all hold hands and change what’s in front of us and make the best of what we have rather than making plans for future which may not be there. And don’t you think that changing the current will make the tomorrow’s world a better place to live in? Let’s all think and be practical about the world.

im so bored..

hey just dropping by to write since im at home doing nothing..im down with stomach ache and gastric and just went to doctor to get medicine..just took my lunch and just felt i should post up something so ya im gonna post about the essay i was suppose to send for a competition but end up not doing it becuase it was too lame and boring la...

My first essay: Tomorrow’s World
It was chilled Friday night; I went out with a group of new friends that I had made in the last three months or so in school. Due to the nature of these individuals who had an open mindset, a strong bond grew amongst us, an inseparable understanding that made me feel at ease around them. This adventure took a twist into my life when my daddy was offered a promotion, which required him to move to Kuala Lumpur. This offer was also extended to us with a choice to move along with him or decide to stay put in Ipoh. Hearing this news, I almost jumped in excitement with a huge expression of joy mixed an eagerness to finally feel the famed city life that besotted most people around me with college life, hence, independence staring right at my face with the end of secondary school looming around the corner. In short, it was an easy decision to make, an easy yes. My eagerness to start a new leaf of my life as a city girl overshadowed my worries of having to meet new people and make new friends virtually on a day to day basis. Staring at the future, it gave me courage to face all my fears and was all set to make the adjustment that most wish they could go through in life as nothing else mattered now.
This new phase of my life as a city girl started with a new school almost immediately, and the past three months moved in a blink of an eye as everyone around me geared towards the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia or better known as SPM, I was more interested in getting to know as many people as possible. A famous mind once said that the more, the merrier and that was what I was actually trying to achieve, moving into uncharted territory by making new friends and the added pleasures that followed with it such as the famed co-curricular activities and the famed night life of Kuala Lumpur city. My social lifestyle and extra curricular activities didn’t bare much of a problems in my parents mind as I had always been an all rounder from my early days, thus I was given my freedom to fully express my interest in sports and music. Isn’t this a true example of an ideal student? A student that is always looked upon as having a strong virtue in life.
Hanging out with this new bunch of friends, all this started slipping one by one through my fingers like sand. My priorities started shifting from a virtuous life towards rock music, gothic fashion and looks, loitering around during school hours in shopping complex, attending illegal races and many other unhealthy activities. Senior lecturers started keeping a close eye on me and also talked to me at length about the problems that I had gotten into as the sudden change in me had undone all the good name that I had earned thus far.
I knew it was happening but didn’t take it seriously because I thought friends are my everything and studies can wait and I will have time to catch up with it in no time before SPM but obviously that wasn’t happening like I had planned instead, I got too much involved until it was hard to get myself out of it because I started forgetting my belief’s and joined them in their unhealthy activities like smoking, drinking and stealing. But how did all this get into me at this rate, even now as I sit and look back, I ask myself these questions?
I guess I just got so much attention around my friends and loved every minute of their company and my parents were always so busy with work so friends was just the best way to get away and have fun and learn new things but sadly the things that I learn weren’t worth learning. I know everything sounds so typical like a normal house problem, of parent being busy and their child slowly slipping away with bad peers but sad to say this is what that’s happening in majority of our families in this country which has reach to a scary and fearful stage.
My situation got really bad that I don’t know why I didn’t think that I am committing to a mistake and I needed to get back on the right track. Maybe for a second I may have thought of stopping but told myself why stop and worry so much, I am not getting caught for it anyways, parents are not saying anything to, my friends are doing it too and I’m finally having the fun of my life as in I was always the example student that always did the right things and now that I got to try something new so why not be a bit wild and explore this new lease of life.
So there I was smoking and drinking like any other kid on the bloc and being in the group but things got really out of hand when I tried drugs in a club one night despite being underage to even enter the club but that one dose made everything feel like heaven and it felt great. Started lying to my parents about things and continued my bad deeds and continued feeling the pleasure and thinking it’s the right way to follow.
Months pass by just like that and by that time, things really got out of hand and one point came where I just got caught by everyone at once. And like the proverb goes “sepandai pandai tupai melompat akhirnya jatuh ke tanah”. It was my parents, teachers and friends who caught me, helped me and sent me to a rehabilitation centre and get myself back on track. My friends also were advised by their parents and all of us had to learn it the hard way.
I just had to differ SPM for that year and get myself back together and repeat my last year of school after the rehabilitation process had been complete. Parents, family, teachers, friends were very angry and disappointed in me at first and were very sad that they let my slip away, but then they gave me full support to get back to where I was meant to be and it really meant the world to me. I fell really hard and learnt my lesson the hard way. I never want to go back to that path again. I guess it was just a wrong path that some people take in their life and mine had to be this way.
So SPM results were out and I did really well like I was suppose too and got a scholarship to pursue my studies in the UK to complete my A-LEVELS and a double degree in Law and Psychology. I have become such a matured person now and I’m so proud of what I have achieved so far in life and maybe the mistake I did made me grow stronger as a human being. Now I’m back in Malaysia and I want to help young teenagers to get to the right route in life so they do not get into the wrong peer group and teach them the importance of achieving something in life. I’m consulting students from school to school and trying to get them to understand the importance of education and maybe its not all about academic, it also can be a skill that you pick, but u have to be the best at what you do and make sure you can do something out of it bring unparallel success.
I may not be able to change all the perception of teenagers in our country but I hope my past could open their eyes to life and I really hope slowly I will be able to make a difference and sip my way through every mind and make a difference. I don’t want to be ambitious but everything is possible if I work hard and work my way through and hope many youngsters will join me and help me in my program. And I just want to reduce the rate of social problems that has made parties worry.
I really want to make this divergence because these teens are going to be our Tomorrow, which is going to rule our country which will make a variation and making us proud of where we are live, while people standing and looking up upon us.
