Composition Writing

Today, my friend (Stacie) told me that my blog is very ‘deep’ bcoz I use a lot of bombastic words. I replied her with “hahaha”. Anyway, I have to thank her for reading my blog (even though mine is not the popular 1) and giving me feedback. =)

Conversation above stirs up my memories of primary 6. I had Chinese Composition as an individual module at that time and my class teacher always dissatisfied with my Chinese composition writing. As what she had expected, my name did not manage to get into the ‘7As’ list for UPSR bcoz of that subject.

I decided to turn over a new leaf when I entered high school. I harvested my grains only after sowing and nurturing for 2 years +. My Chinese teachers like my works but not my Malay guru. I have come out with a conclusion, “YOU CAN’T PLEASE PEOPLE”. My Chinese compositions were being used as references for my classmates and even juniors. One of them was even being added into convo magazine. What happen to my Malay compositions?
You might see them inside the recycle bin for papers.

Even how hard I had tried to throw in “bombastic” words or sentences in my Malay essays, I would only receive this comment from my guru, “I still can’t see your improvement”. According to my guru, my writings are as plain as pure water. It was tiring to prove my guru wrong. Why should I push myself so hard to become No.1? A theory from my friend, “100% is A, 80% is also A”. It makes sense in fact.

Frankly, I was discouraged by my Malay guru when I was told that my Malay would not help in adding number of A for my SPM. “Do the best I can”, I murmured. Three months later, in the result slip, few words below my name, Bahasa Melayu – A1.

We tend to prove others wrong when they doubt about our ability. Thus, we are living for others. We just have ‘one life’. Live for yourself! (A motto that I usually whisper to myself)
