How I survive those years

   "Don't cry because it's over, smile it happened" - Dr. Seuss

     Everyone has their own  story to tell. Give them a journal, not even a blank piece of paper left for them to write their stories. The story may vary from the deepest pit of darkness until the joyous one. So, here I am, writing a little piece of what people say, a tiny bit of my experience going through a tremendous, hectic year.

    It all started in 2011. I was studying at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sultan Sulaiman 1 at that time in my fifth grade. If I ask my friends now, whether they believe that I was once an athlete and was-and still-very passionate of playing netball, I am sure they would laugh at me, well, I understand looking at how my body looks like now. Yes, I was once elected to be in MSSM Terengganu team for national level. This is when my story gets interesting.

   I was the youngest one to be chosen to be in the team. Imagine to be away from my family which was in Penang when I was such at a young age and could not engage with my family through a phone call for 2 and half weeks. I didn't know how to make friends at that time looking at the age gap between us, team members.

   Somehow, through ups and downs, I managed to get through it. I had a little fun though because my coach knew how to enlighten us by bringing us to the Penang Fun Fair Park! That was my first time ever going there. I didn't get to experience that many of rides, but I managed to ride as the picture below (because I don't know what it is called):


I had so much fun riding it. But time was not on our side at that time so we had to get back early. It's okay though. At least, I got to ride something.

   Alright, let's rewind to my original topic. A day after going to Penang Fun Fair Park, we had a netball tournament. My position in the game was a goal attacker. Thanks to the Lord, my team, at least won 2 out of 5 games. We didn't make it to final, though, but we were more than being so thankful because our opponents' match were far than our reach. Here is the photo of us after the match:




 
  Come to the peak of my story, this is how my story goes like. It was hectic but nevertheless I had fun too. That's all. Thanks for reading!
