A severe flood

It had been raining for a few hours. Strong wind. The sound of the wind sounds like a ghost hunting for you.

Not as bad as this. Thank God. 

I was in the church having my youth service when my mum receive a call from my dad saying that water is starting to come in to our house. Not again. It had been quite some time since the last flood occur in the vicinity where we live. This is the first flood for this year. Yeah, happy holiday with a yellowish water in your house. Just great. Not.
It's quite a disaster but thank God it's not as severe as those in Thailand. The water level rose up till my ankle. The rain water was awful. It's stinky and yellowish. I was complaining to my mum about the location we are staying. Why can't we move to a better place instead of staying in this kind of house where we need to face this disaster. She said we are consider as fortunate. There are lots of people who are worse than us. They do not have a place that can be called home. At least, we have a roof over our head.
I need to learn from my mum. Despite her hardship she faced in live, she doesn't complain (well, not much) yet she faces it boldly.

Luck

Defination of luck: Success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.

"Good luck!" was what I said to him for his SPM but he answered me confidently, "I do not need luck."
Luck...is it something that can be trusted? Does luck even exist? I truly believe there is this such thing called luck. On the other hand, we cannot trust it all the time.
Take this instantly, some people are so unlucky, they were born with diseases while others are not. Or maybe this, you won in a lucky draw. This shows that you were lucky.
I mean there are luck on this earth right? Just that you cannot fully depends on luck let alone during your examination. In exams, it all depends on your hard-work and effort that you put in. I totally agree with him that he don't need luck in his exam. Maybe wishing someone good luck are only main for those who didn't study at all. Honestly, I don't like others wishing me luck in my examination either but I don't have any idea why did I said that to him. After all he's the smartest student in our school.
Maybe a sentence of encouragement like:  
All the best...

Lucky Clover

God bless...
You can do it...etc. will be fine. 
By the way, we are not suppose to live my luck alone but by our principles and we live for God. 

Blessings of Good Luck
May you be blessed with abundant fortune and luck,
May there never come a time when you have to sulk.
I wish everything always seems to work in your favor,
I wish that you may fulfill all your aims and endeavours.

And when on days you really don't know what to do,
May lady luck keep shinning up bright above you.
Good luck to you.

An unfogetable day

It's Friday and guess what? I'm so exhausted and my 'batteries' are flat out-dead. Okay, that's not the point that I want to bring across.
Although I'm tired but today is the happiest day that happened this month and a day to remember.
Remember I told you that we kinda play chit in our exam? Miss Rachel found out about our dishonesty. =(
We confessed our 'sin' to her but not all were willing to do that. Probably they didn't saw the questions.
We were considered as the lucky ones because we were not given demerit marks and we can still register for next year (Form 5). The case was a closed case. No punishment for us except we need to clean those dusty windows which had left untouched for 'thousand' years. (nah..just joking about the years) The windows were extremely dusty. The dust was about 1cm thick! We cleaned the windows patiently despite the dirtiness of it.
My school band held a farewell party for Form 5 students. The Form 4 students were in charged of this party. So after the cleaning, we hurried to 1B. I was in charged in one of the station game. The band members were searching for us, high and low. They really show great team work when they were playing the station game.
After that, we had MacDonald for lunch. Yum...I had Fish-Fillet Burger. Everyone had a smile on their face, laughing away at some jokes, chatting around. Seeing them eating together, made me feel happy. They are my family. They are the ones I spent my time with during the suffering and tough time when we were under the hot sun practicing for hours just to complete our formation. Just watching them, can eventually 'fill' my hungry stomach. I hope this band will always work as one. I pray their spirit wouldn't die off easily to face the path ahead of them though Form 5 students will be leaving soon. I also hope that they had a great time in that party and hope that our seniors would always have a special place for us (the band) in their heart. I wish all Form 5 seniors good luck in their upcoming exam- SPM. All the best! I believe you guys can do it! ;-) 

A special poem just for Shan Tao Band:

Under the hot sun, 

Sweating together for the run.

Facing the battle together, 

That is our motive. 

Never to give in to difficulties,

That is our spirit.

Happy times, 

We shall laugh together.

Sad times, 

We share our sorrow.

No matter what happen,

We shall be one. 

Shan Tao Band is the Best!
