Journey

As you know, 2010 is considered as one of my most important year in my life. However, I still unable to concentrate on my story and continue enjoying my life as if nothing happen at all.

I did try my best to put on my ears and eyes during the class, yet, I immediately get bored in a second or two due to the subjects have nothing to do with my future. On the other hand, I’m not interested with them either.

Maybe you’ll say, “Try to love the subjects la.” Well, then let me ask you, would you willing to attempt something that you don’t like? For example, if you dislike video game, why don’t you force yourself to play? If you’re afraid of height, why don’t you force yourself to ride on the roller coaster or play bungee jump?

See, it is just the same thing to me. I only pay my credits to English, which is the ONLY subject that can bright out my future. Besides, getting straight A’s in SPM doesn’t really mean your future would be as bright as a dazzling sunlight. People nowadays never cared about your “A”; they only care about “experience” and “talent”.

Some of my teachers like En. Ismail constantly annoy me in every single of his class. He believes that account is my only option for my future career. I’m not trying to be mean, but he is so dumb for thinking that way. More over, I don’t think he’s a good teacher anyway, because the more he teaches me, the more I hate the subject instead of loving it.

I wonder why there’s neither a literature nor creative writing class in my school, perhaps they couldn’t be found in Malaysia. The weird thing is, when we were told to fill in the SPM form, there are more than 40 subjects for us to choose, including the two that I wanted. I feel like total hopeless and helpless for continuing my education in this country…

Best Friends Forever ;)

Four and a half+ of high school life just passed by and said goodbye to me in no time. Now i only left another half year (if SPM days are accounted) to spend with my friends in school, especially for those who are my classmates. Oh God, how i wish the time would fly slower a little. Simultaneously, i also wish the time would boost like a rocket and end my high school life as soon as possible, so i dont have to meet those teachers or being forced to obey their stupid rules again.

I can tell that almost everyone of us are attempting to share and create happiness to one another. However, plenty of us like the Malay boys never learned the word of "friendship" or "appreciate". Those jerks keep upsetting us in every single time, especially at the poor sensitive girl friend of mine, Cindy. I always hope that one day, either me or someone else able to head shot them =.=

Anyway, i just wanna express my thanks to all of my friends like Wen Sern, Gold Fish, Cindy, Pai Kai, Cheng Yu etc who actually willing to spend their times with me. Not just that, each and everyone of you do had a very interesting and colourful characteristics which brighten up my life as well ;D

So, LOVE you guys and let's just hope our friendship wont be broken that easily.

Battle Royale Revision

So far, i've finished the prologue and chapter one for my very own version of "Battle Royale". Few days ago, i let my English teacher, Pn. Habibah to read the prologue of the story, i also requested her to ensure my grammar before i proceed to the first chapter. It turned out that my grammar is average XD

Some of the mistakes were not really my fault, though. It was the auto correct system which changed by itself . Look like we couldnt depend on the computer too much. Anyway, "Battle Royale" is my very first story that i share it to the public; most of them are my friends who were actually one of the characters in the story.

Malaysian
---------------
Some people were wondering that why i changed everything from Japanese to Malaysian, isnt that weird? To be honest, if i remain the Japanese style, i probably still havent finished either the prologue or chapter one. Because during my last attempted, i was so confused on the 42 characters that i created, i had no idea how to come out with a background story for all of them. However, using a real people as the characters in my story, make things much more easier and faster since im telling their truth story that actually did happen on them in real life. Of course, i've my own idea to make a connection between the Japanese and my version.

The Characters
--------------------
As you know, there are total of 42 competitors during the "game", but i'll mainly concentrate on the 6 main characters; Nina, Kenneth, Joachim, Christina, Lee Cheng and me. I'll introduce the 42 kids one by one throughout the story, so you wont get confused on all of them. There are 41 non-fictional characters in this story. However, i invented 4 fictional characters; Hiromi Yasuko, Haruna Yasuko, Kiyoshi Yasuko and Jeremy Teh Bon Hui.

Assigned Weapons
-------------------------
Once i let my friends to check out their weapon that they will acquire during the game. Some of them were satisfied with it, while some of them were disappointed as they didnt get anything and some of them were complaining about it. Let me tell you, the weapons that i assigned for the characters (or my friends) were not a casual planning. There's a reason for it. Not like i dislike this guy, so i give him a stupid stuff that doesnt even consider as a weapon. No, all those weapons have something to do with the plot and it might change in certain times.

Real Life Events
--------------------
Most of the things that i mention in the story are based on truth story as it did happen on me and other characters in real life. Including attitude, activity, relationship, ability, nickname, phobia etc.

Death
--------
This story is about killing one another off, of course major of the 42 students will be perished. To those people who i used as the characters in my story, the death might offence you. But by the end of the day, this is just a fiction novel, so dont take it seriously >.<

The Prologue
----------------
The opening of the story. Well, i'll briefly introduce several of characters in this part (most of them are the female students). It also mention about the "game" in Japan where the students are forced to kill one another until only one remains. If you had gone through either the movie or manga, you would have known who were the two students that escaped from the game in Japan. The story is set a day after the event of the original movie or manga.

Real life events that can be found in this part are;
~the painting and decorating stair cases program for the class 3A students
~A trip to Cameron Highlands
~when Yih Su, the class president, requested his classmates to stand up

Chapter 1: Kidnap
----------------------
I took this opportunity to introduce more characters in this chapter. Including "The Six Club" which involved Lee Cheng, Jia Hong, Kah Chin, Pai Kai, Tiong Hong and Chee Keong. Wen Sern and Shuhazlin, the class photographers. Lastly, Kenneth, one of the main characters. I've also expanded Hiromi's character where you'll learn about her past. Before i forgot, this chapter is entirely take place on a bus where the students and teacher are on their way to Cameron Highlands. So, this chapter is quite boring~

Real life events that can be found in this chapter are;
~the lively atmosphere on the bus
~"The Six Club" (although some of the members have been replaced)
~Kenneth's interest, gardening
~Wen Sern's and Shuhazlin's photographic talent/interest
~my interest, reading novel
