my English, my secondary school life.

It is the third semester I take English paper to fulfill my University courses required for unit collections. Seriously, I don't like language because I don't have a good basic. I born in a ordinary Chinese family, speaking "pure" Malaysian Mandarin and learning all in Chinese until I stepped into secondary school.

I had a hard time in learning Science in English, Mathematics don't give me a trouble because I am still able to answers them by looking at the keywords and also numbers. Therefore for the first year in secondary, I am so quiet in the class. XD

However, everything changed while I enter Form 2, our class teacher knew my problem in English, she put me in between two classmates whom cannot speak Mandarin, Ranjeni and Beatrix. I sat beside them for a year and had no choice but to try to use my lousy English, often mixed with Chinese to talk to them after got ignored by my friends at the opposite (Tzyy Ning and Kak En, as they want me to learn to speak too).

As a result, not only I am learning the English, at the same time Ranjeni and Beatrix also on their way in learning some Chinese as I always lost the words in my brain and come out with those Mandarin words. Trying hard for me to explain what I am trying to say out.

So at the almost end of the year, I can still remember vividly during the parents' day when my dad came to class and met Puan Choo, she told him about these. But I told her, the plan for me to learn to speak is not totally success as the end result is Ranjeni can speak Chinese already and can understand more while we speaking in Chinese. (Puan Choo got a shock! hahahaha)

But since then, at least I am dare to speak out, although by using mostly the broken Malaysian English, with the Chinese Slang. Year by year, until now, when you in the situation you will just feel the used of it. But after come out from the secondary, when the language is needed, I am really appreciate my teachers and friends that have spend so much efforts on me, gave so much patient to try to listen, gave me the braveness to speak out, although with a lot of grammar mistakes.

Indeed, I miss the secondary school life again, my friends and teachers that we always had fun together, learning in class, performing on the stage, playing the traditional musics together, celebrating others birthday, and not to forget, doing all the crazy stuff together. This is us, our memories that do not fade although we have become so far apart with one another.

In class, I learned English from all of you.
In Music class, together we learn the music theory and play,
In Choir, we learned the songs and I did learn some new words from it too!

FRIENDSHIP between us will not come to an end. I hoped. Missing everyone again!!
