Sabah Was Where The Memories Started - Shlle Anak Joseph

Sabah was where the memories started. My teammates and I went there for our tennis ranking tournament on an Air Asia plane. AirAsia provided good service which satisfied us because the food was delicious and the cabin crew was friendly. Our trip took about a few hours. After we arrived at the airport, we hired Grab cars to take us to our hotel in Kota Kinabalu.

When we arrived at our hotel, the staff served us with a smile and helped us with our luggage. The apartment we rented was pretty, tidy, and big. I really liked the place where my teammates and I stayed at because the place combined hotel rooms and apartments. The rooms were at the lower-levels, near to the swimming pool, while the apartments were higher up and we could enjoy the beautiful scenery.

My teammates unpacked our stuff and took a break. In the evening, we went to a nearby supermarket to buy some groceries. During our trip to Sabah, we could cook in the kitchen provided in our apartment.

At the tournament venue in the next morning, the tennis courts were in a good condition. We registered to confirm our participation and were so excited to meet our opponents. Some of them were friendly while a few were not. Nonetheless, we were happy because we could have a healthy tournament together.

I got third place in the double and single category which came with a nice medal and certificate. My teammates and I shared what we had, laughed, and enjoyed the game even though we did not win the tournament.

A notable moment was when we saw a young man wearing his traditional clothes. The clothes were unique, pretty, and attracted many people. We approached and took some photos with him immediately.

In conclusion, I hope that, after I get my own job, I can go to Sabah again. Sabah was a wonderful place and I had a very interesting trip. In addition, the people there were very friendly to visitors. As a result, this was an unforgettable trip for me.

Shlle Anak Joseph is a unique name given by my daddy. Sometimes, it is hard for people around me to pronounce my name at first. My sport is tennis. Our head coach’s name is Stevie Din and his assistant is Resa Billie. My ambition is to be a great teacher and an excellent tennis coach, just like Coach Stevie.

Life - Adriana Ingram

Every one of us needs to move on. As the saying goes, “life must go on.” Some of us even have suicidal thoughts, but there must be one thing that keep us from doing it. It could be our family, or someone that we love. A lot of teenagers get depressed, just like one of my friends. She was only 12 years old and she had a lot of problems. They were caused by her family and school. I felt sorry for her. Sometimes I sit on my bed on a rainy day and ask myself, “what is the point of me living in this world?”, “why am I here?”, “does my friend like me?” I would repeat these questions in my head for hours and hours. But then I remembered my parents! My family! That is the reason for me to live. Besides that, everybody has their biggest fears. Do you know what is my biggest fear? My fear is being in a plane crash and also a monster might be hiding under my bed. Well, that is just my imagination. I want all of us, the young generation, to move on, go forward and never ever look back. There are a

Playing Tennis In The USA - Hii Shieng Wee

Hi guys, I'm Hii. I come from Sibu, but now I'm studying at SMK Tabuan Jaya. Going to a foreign country has always been my dream because I wanted to see the outside world and feel the difference between other countries and my own. The story started from June 2019 when I received an invitation to enroll in SMK Tabuan Jaya from my Kuching-coach Stevie Din. Because of my work hard and respect, Coach Stevie helped me get into a program to go to Florida in the United States. When he told me this news, I felt very incredible and excited because I could realize my dream. In August, my Sibu-coach took me to Florida, because I was still a minor and too young to go abroad alone. Our flight started with my hometown in Sibu to KLIA1 to Hong Kong to Los Angeles and finally to Florida. When we arrived in Hong Kong, we had 5 more hours to go until our connecting flight, so we ate at the Hong Kong airport. After that, we went to Los Angeles. When we arrived in Los Angeles, we still had a fligh

A Part-Time Job I Want - Audrea Flennysha Jackie

For the upcoming school holiday, I have decided to take on a part time-job while waiting for my SPM result. I choose to be a baker and I want to work at Taka's bakery shop that is not far from my neighborhood. Very few people want to be bakers and have a part time-job there because they love eating, not baking. Another reason why I choose this job is I love baking. Since the job is not a struggle, I can learn more about baking during my shifts which are 9 to 10 hours each. For me, baking truly keeps me fulfilled, free, and energized. As the bakery is near my home, getting there will not take an hour or have traffic congestion problems. Being next to Farley Mall, some customers stop by the cake shop after they have finished shopping at the mall. In conclusion, I hope that many customers will come to the bakery to buy some cakes for their loved ones. Delicious food can make people happy. Through this part time-job, I can save up my income for a rainy day. ---------- Audrea Flennysha

Journey of a Lifetime - Erika Vallensia

Life is one word that comes with multiple meanings. It has lots of problems that you need to face every day. Full of ups and downs, it also has many blessings. To some people, life is hard, cruel, and merciless. Those people see life as a punishment throughout their entire lives. Do not worry about it though! All these problems that you are facing make you strong; it gives you courage to stand alone in the future. You all know that life is also full of moments of joy, pleasure, and success. Comfort is punctuated by misery, defeat, failures, and problems. For your information, no human being on earth who is strong, powerful, wise, or rich has not experienced struggle, suffering or failure. Life is full of paths. It is your own decision to choose the right one. You must work hard to get what you really want. Life is as interesting and wonderful as the stars in the sky. Without a doubt, life is beautiful and full of celebration. There are days when I suddenly feel all alone, not belonging
