neither to brag nor show off

while doing my preperation in UKM, i.e 'kursus intensif bahasa arab' ,
ATM (not automated teller machine btw) held this essay writing competition for anak2 Angkatan Tentera Malaysia. So i told myself, "WHY NOT?". I wasn't doing anything at that time anyway.

Besides, the thing is with these essay competitions is, that not a lot of people bother, yet alone give a damn. so besides the name (competition), there's usually not much (competition).

tajuk dia lebey kurang cani >>peranan remaja dalam mewarisi tampuk kepimpinan negara'.... yes it was in BM. My sister Maryam Aliah who was to sit her UPSR (she got 5A's btw... so proud!) also submitted an essay. we both won! .click here She got 1st for her category, I got 2nd... huhu...

pikir balik, rugi x buat betul2.. i didn't put my full effort in it... huhu... apa2 pun syukur dpt jugak prize money dia... rm700!... result competition keluar when i was here... So prize money tu bagi je kat Abi.
But kinda x fair. Semua category prize money dia sama : 1st place RM1000, 2nd RM700, 3rd RM500. Peringkat UPSR dgn SPM, totally different. They sould 'up sikit' the prize money in accordance to the age of the participants. I mean, a 12 year-olds don't need rm1000! 18 year-olds do (betul ke?) but yeah, you get my point.... or is it me just getting jealous?

It's also true for many things.
ex: Exams, study sikit je lagi boleh score. but they say let bygones be bygones. no use sulking on the past.

the moral>> alang2 celuk pekasam, biar sampai ke pangkal lengan
