Double Joy for Manchester

Manchester has a double celebration as both United and City have reasons to celebrate. United have won a record 19th Premier League title after a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers. Wayne Rooney scored a penalty to seal the title for United after Blackburn goalkeeper Paul Robinson brought down Javier Hernandez in the penalty box. Meanwhile, City won their first silverware in 35 years when they edged Stoke 1-0 in the FA Cup final, with Yaya Toure netting the winning goal in the 74th minute.

Inhumane Act

I'm referring to the bully case that happened recently. I really pity the victim for being bulied by her classmates. At the same time, the way she's being bullied is totally inconsiderate. How could her friends bully her just like that? Did she do anything wrong or offended them that she deserve such a ordeal?

Certainly, the bully case has caused outrage from many people. The nation wouldn't have come across such a case if the video clip has not been circulated. I am in a total shock upon discovering such an act which I deem as inhumane. How could her friends treat the girl like that? I really don't understand. Perhaps there is conflict between them, but they shouldn't have bullied her.

Now the 4 students is paying the price for what they've done. They all are suspended from school for 14 days. I'm not sure if this is an ideal punishment for them, but I think they ought to be punished even more severely for causing trauma to the victim.

There is a follow-up story saying the students have apologised to the victim for doing such a thing to her. I'm not sure if the girl would be willing to accept their apology, but even if she does, she'll never forget for the rest of her life that they've traumatised her before.

I seriously hope that this would not happen anymore. Speaking the truth, I have never bullied any of my friends before. Neither have I been bullied before.

听妈妈的话 (Listen to Mother's Words)

It's Mother's Day today. And I discover the lyrics of the song by Taiwanese singer Jay Chou, Ting Ma Ma De Hua (Listen to Mother's Words) is very meaningful indeed.

小朋友，你是否是很多问号
为什么别人在那看漫画
我却在学画画，对着钢琴说话
别人在玩游戏
我却靠在墙壁背我的ABC
我说我要一台大大的飞机
但却得到一台旧旧录音机
为什么要听妈妈的话
长大后你就会开始懂了这段话

长大后我开始明白
为什么我跑得比别人快
飞得比别人高
将来大家看的都是我画的漫画
大家唱的都是我写的歌
妈妈的辛苦不让你看见
温暖的食谱在她心里面
有空就多多喔喔她的手
把手牵着一起梦游

听妈妈的话别让她受伤
想快快长大才能保护她
美丽的白发幸福中发芽
天使的魔法温暖中慈祥


在你的未来
音乐是你的王牌
拿王牌谈个恋爱
唉！我不想把你教坏
还是听妈妈的话吧
晚点谈恋爱吧
我知道你未来的路
但妈比我更清楚
你会开始学其他同学在书包写东写西
但我建议最好写妈妈我会用功读书
用功读书怎么会从我嘴巴说出
不想你输所以要叫你用功读书

妈妈织给你的毛衣
你要好好的收着
因为母亲节到时我要告诉她我还留着
对了我会遇见周润发
所以你可以跟同学炫耀
赌神未来是你爸爸
我找不到童年写的情书
你写完不要送人
因为过两天你会在操场上捡到
你会开始喜欢上流行歌
因为张学友开始准备唱吻别

Sleepless nights

I don't know why I can't sleep well at night during the exam period.

Ever since I return to Kampar after attending the Easter celebration at CGBC Ipoh on 23 April, I've been experiencing insomnia. I couldn't sleep at all, even though I tried persuading myself to go to sleep.

Perhaps I'm a little bit anxious whether I'm able to do well in the final exam. But I was calm and didn't feel nervous at all for the first 2 papers. In fact, I don't know why I could sleep well on the night after I took my first paper but not the rest of the nights.

Due to lack of sleep, I felt tired during the day and wanted to sleep. But I kept reminding myself that I have to keep myself awake and do revision. I prayed hard that I am able to survive the exam period and sleep well after the exam is over.
