So I quickly get ready that I hoped I'll be managed to reached school in only 45 minutes. But unfortunately, I have to wait until my brother finished bath.

So when I done with Iron my clothes and ate my breakfast, the school bus leave me because I was late for only 10 seconds.I have to be calm because the audition started about two and a half hour so I just followed my neighbour to send me school. He is a very slow driver plus we stucked in jammed and it took us about 1 and a half hour to arrive. When I reached school, in order to participate the Choir, we must bring the form and as I get into the door I realized that I didn’t bring my school bag,so I could not take part in the audition. It’s not just that, I didn’t hand in my homework and the teacher asked me to pick up rubbish surrounds the school and there's one of the senior in the school bullied me and in my deep heart said ‘what a worst day i’d been thru bullied and as I failed to participate the audition that i'd waited for a long time.’

They are my new friends that I get to know when I stayed in Kuala Lumpur last two year and eventhough I might know them for such a short time but it felts like we've been friends since childhood. The real fun that I had that time was the best feeling in my life.
