Pn Phang On The Kill
what is she up to now?

PETALING JAYA- A glorious day for the six students of 3B2 was ruined by the all so famous copy-this-rangka-karangan-or-die teacher Pn. Phang (thunder at the background). These six poor, tragic students had already sensed the impending doom as Pn Phang who is gonna be known as PP after this line stepped into the peaceful classroom. With the green melay workbook in her hand, she motioned for the six sutdents to stand. It seems that they have somehow cross the border for the buku nilam record, which is pass a hundred books. The students cringed. This wasn't looking good. they now had to read SIX different books in the week, which means four more days left for them to read the SIX books. What a ridiculous thing to ask of the students to do, expeacially when PMR is drawing closer by each passing day. That wasn't the worse part, oh no, theres something FAR WORSE than that. They have to make a review for the 100 books they claimed to have read. The students gasped, they havent done a SINGLE review yet, and she expected them to finish it in most 4 weeks. What did PP think they were? Machines? Kiss Goodbye to the time they need to spend studying, sayonara to the time they have for play, aurvoir to the time...to well, sleep! and the worst part is, they have to report to her. ANY other teacher would have been better. FAR better. those poor students. and to think i am one of them. Sympathize with me.

Nie Paper Not To Be Judged
efforts gone to waste

PETALING JAYA- Brenda had only finished the printing and pasting of the paper at 7 and school had already let out at 6.40pm. Brenda couldn't do anything, she had tried her very best to finish it in time, but the best she could do was 7pm. The group members prayed that their paper would be accpeted, all their efforts to be put to waste? that's just wrong, SO wrong. The very next morning, some of the team went to look for the teacher in charged and begged for the paper to be accepted. The teacher declined. She was sorry but she couldn't take it for it was unfair to the other teams who passed it up on the dot. She even complimented the paper saying it was good and had a fair chance to represent the school. The team members had no choice but to accept their sad and cruel faith. tears were seen streaming down Michelle's face, she had put in SO much effort, perhaps even done more than the rest of the team. brenda's eyes were watery, she too had done SO much. stayed up editing the paper, doing the perfect layout, pestering people to do stuff and getting cold responses, was THIS her payback? it just couldn't be right. Even the editor himself almost burst out crying. he apologised for everyone's efforts were now in the drain. no one was to be blamed but ourselves. The team swore to take part again next year and win!
