the importance of studying English

It is a big concern for teenagers nowadays as they are unaware of the important of english language as they ignore to learn it. Students' attitude towards the language is also crucial to make sure that these students can face future world better as it is an international language.

Although the government has repeatedly told the students of the importance of english language is, many students are still not bothered about studying the language seriously. There is still campaign that is still on to make sure the Malaysians become a better english learner which is 'Enchance Profiency in Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthen the English'. English is the most important and the most useful language in the world today. There are many reasons why you should learn the language properly.

First and foremost, it will definitely help you a lot when you want to further your studies. Almost all books in Universities are written in English. So, if you are poor in English, you will blow your chance for better education, or worse, you are going to have big problem studying in university.

The second reason why you have to learn English is that it will help you to get a job. When you go for a job interview, the interviewer will surely talk to you in English. The first impression you should give in order to success and have the job is, to respond in English fluently. Your chances of getting the job are very slim if you stutter while interviewing.

A good command in English will also help you do greatly in your job. If the company you work is actively involved with the international trade, you have to speak to prospective customer in English. Miscommunication might occur if your English is bad and this will put your company at risk and you will likely be dismissed if this happens.

Good English will help you when you travel. Every country in the world studies English. Even the roadside stall-holders in China can speak fairly good English. At least, some of the people you meet in other countries can understand English. This language is practical when you are lost in your trip. Communication problem will not occur if your can converse well in English. Inevitably, it is one of the languages used in airports in the world in making announcements. Knowing English well, therefore make travelling overseas easier.

Beside all this, entertainment is one of the major advantages you will experience if you are good in English. You will enjoy the best television programmes. We must admit that most of the best television programmes are produced by the American and British companies. High-self confidence influenced by the programmes will indirect inculcate in yourself if you are good in English. Quality time is worthily spend if you enjoy and understand the programmes.

Base from all the elaboration, I hope that students will realise the importance of English language is for their own future. Although it is a second language in our country, it is now a main language all over the world.

waking up at 5.30am..
assembly at 7am..
studying from 7.30am till 1,40pm
and another few classes from 2,40pm till 4.40pm
and more extra classes after asar probably till 6pm.
and prep as usual form 9 till 11pm..
sleep at 12 or 12.30am..

ya Allah, only God knows how tired am I.
but to get 9A's , I must to face that routine everyday. 

sometimes, i feel lucky to be that school.
well at least, I wont think about the phone, internet, going out for shopping.. because, i know,
I'm a student who must study till I get good result so that I could make my parents proud of me.

I cant disappointed my parents. They had sacrificed a lot to me. I know, getting good results probably wont pay off their sacrifice to me.

APPENDIX !

 a day before we are going to London, suddenly, my mom said that she has stomach ache.
at first, we thought it was normal. mom didn't eat for lunch, well yeah, I was pretty scared about it.
she went upstairs and laid on her bed.

Then I started googling , and I have no idea about it. then mom woke up and she guess, it might be appendix. the symptoms were just the same. she feels like vomiting and woozy. I started getting worried. my mom cant moved at all. 

she wants to go to the clinic, but sadly, there's only my sister and I, and we cant drive! 

all she can do was lying on the bed, i was by her side, i stared at her face, suddenly, tears streaming down my face. i cant stand it. I could feel the throb of my mother's heart. she's was sleeping, so i cried. but what can do she has maternal instinct, she then asked me, " why are you crying ? " and i said " nothing " she patted my shoulder and it just made me cry even worse. 

 my dad got back home , my sister and I were busy cooking for dinner. after magrib, we went to Damansara Specialist Hospital, wait, except for my sister and brother, they are not following. we went to the emergency place, my dad and I were waiting for a long time outside. probably about 2 hours. then dad approached me, and said " yana, mom is admitted in the hospital" , i swallowed the lump in my throat. " are you serious dad?" 


since its appendix, it need to be cut out as soon as possible, so, that night, my mom need to be operate, it freaks me out ! I'm waiting and waiting. I squeezed my hand together to keep them from trembling. the clock struck 12.15am, the nurses came in with my mom.

mom looked so pale and haggard.she can hardly breathe. i was scared ! "dahaga" said my mom wearily. but the nurses said, she cant drink yet. she's in pain until the nurse gave her painkiller. my dad and sister went back home, while my brother and I stayed with mom. suddenly, my teeth started to chatter, i was cold and the phone shows 4.30am, im wide awake. and my brother is still playing with his iphone. he went back home around 5am. I'm still glad that mom is fine. so, i flopped back onto my bed.

the alarm next to me jolted me awake in the morning. the sun was just starting to rise, shinning brightly orange through the curtains. I went to my mom, and she's awake. Alhamdulillah, she's okay :) she wants to go to the toilet, she i helped her, she walked groggily to the toilet.

she once told me, after the operation, she feels as if she's going to die, when i heard she said like that, it startled me out. my stomach twisted in knots.

and yeah, the flight must be delayed and we're going on the 20th instead of 18th. its good that we're going on the 20th. at least brother is going with us. 

today is 19th, and my mom is discharged from the hospital. alhamdulillah she looks fine, but a bit in pain. well i guess, i'll stop here since its 12.06am and im sleepy.byee :)

FRIENDS

friends, yeah. my best friend during kindergarten was Naimi Amni Aziz. She's cute and fair. I still remember, we were playing Totally Spies but there's only two of us. She is Clover while I'm Sam :D

now, let me introduce you guys Noor Liyana Khasim and Nur Afifah Ary. They're my best friend. But sadly, Afifah moved to Kajang. so, there's only Liyana K and I left. but still we're very closed. what unique about us are, our names are almost the same, Noor Liyana and Nurliyana,  :) we're TKRS, KUNING, KESENIAN & KEBUDAYAAN. Well, most of them are almost the same. Liyana K is just the nicest friend I ever met. but, apparently, we're not as closed as before since I'm now studying in Gombak Integrated Boarding School.

so, of course, I need to find another new best friend. for me, they're all strangers ._. I only have my sister, but then, how long am I going to be by her side ? so, I found Aina Nursyahmi. her eyes are so small or SEPET   >< ngee :D we're in the same dorm and she is so MANJA ! okay, whats unique about us are, we're born on the same day ! 30th August 1998 ! i can't believed it.

2012, Aena and I were not in the same dorm anymore, how sad. Aena is in 2Al-Farabi class while me 2 Al-Khawarizmi, sadly, there's only eight girls in my class, while other 19 people are boys. I was like, whatthefuck is this ? I have no friends at all ! but then I have Shao. fyi, he's not a chinese okay. he is an actor ! hahaha, cant believe it huh ? wait, I think I'm out from the topic, am I ?

So, after a few months in that class, I met Nurin Wafa Ramlan. honestly, my first reaction about her was, OMG, she is so fierce, (penolong ketua kelas la katakan :p) one day, we changed our position in class, and I was sitting beside Nurin. I dont know how, but out of sudden, we're so closed. since that, I started to believe her and mostly told her about my life and same goes to her.

then something crossed my mind, I was like, why I didn't met her on the first place ?
Nurin Wafa is really really a good friend, she is hard working girl.
I'm just scared losing her, and I really hope that we'll be in the same class next year. :)

ISTANBUL

"OMG! Dad is going to bring us to Turkey !" and yeah still remember that I said that when I was standard 6. We went to Turkey like, on 17th December 2010. 

We were waiting in the Golden Lounge like 6 hours. No, there was no flight delay. It is just that my dad decided to go to the airport early. Our flight is at 12.30am, I was so sleepy. 


As soon as I got into the plane, I slept for like 4 hour until my sister woke me up for breakfast. From Malaysia to Turkey,it took about 8 hours. 


Finally, we arrived at Turkey International Airport. We waited outside for our guide traveler called our car. It was cold that time. 

My dad took a pent house. It was cool and just perfect. 
What special about Istanbul is, the Blue Mosque, Spice Bazaar, Grand Bazaar.

Our first breakfast was, Turkish breakfast! Honestly, I can't eat those food at there, same goes to my other family member. So we decided to eat at Thai Restaurant and it was pretty expensive ._.' 


We were in Istanbul for a week, and my mom told me, that we have Turkey blood. cool huh ? :p


The next day, we were on the cruise at Bosphorus sea, it is a strait that forms part of the boundary between Europe and Asia. It was windy, and the weather was just nice.


The sixth day we were there, we went to Bursa, Uludag. It was kinda like a mountain. We must took a ferry to go there, and there was snow ! We went up to the mountain and the road and tress were all covered with white fluffy snow. Sadly, we cant go higher, because of that heavy snow. So, we stop nearby at a wide place. The snow was very fluffy and the weather was -5°C.


I was the first to make angel snow. it was really fun! you should try it! Then we 
were throwing snow ball to each other. sometimes it hurts. Then we made snowman
with Aunty Derya ( guide traveller) I thought, making a snow man was easy, but
 I was wrong. It was so hard and probably you'll get backache. 
Dad and mom went to a small restaurant since it was pretty warm inside with
 the heater and hot teas.

The weather was getting heavier and heavier. so, we decided to go inside as we 

were freezing. 

how I miss Istanbul , it had been 2 years , I didn't get on plane. in shaa Allah, dad 

will be taking us to London end of this year. so, hopefully there will be no obstacle.
 I really want to go there.

LIFE IN BOARDING SCHOOL

So, as I promised you guys before, I will post about life in boarding school.

I've been living in boarding school since I was 13 years old. yeah, it was kinda tired studying in boarding school. you must wake up at 5.20am or 5.30am. the assembly will start at 7am and the class starts from 7.30am till 4.40pm. but there a short break between it. and in the evening, after performing your asar prayer, you are free. you can go to the field, basketball court, or just stay in the dorm. normally, the boys will conquer the whole field while the girls normally stay in their dorms.

and after isya prayer, we will go to our class, doing homework or probably, do a study group. it starts from 9pm till 11pm. Before we sleep, it is a MUST, reading al-mulk in the dorm. then, we can sleep. we normally sleep for 5 or 4 hours. eyebag is our accessories.

living in a boarding school has it own pros and cons.
 PROS :-
lots of opportunities
more classes
smaller classes
lasting friendships

cons:
have to be more independent
more responsibility


but i think, it is more to pros.
