Results..

Today, I was so happy. Firstly, I got to know my 3rd and last Sat's practise result(before the real one)and it was unbelievably good.. I got 5A for Literacy.. For all that hard work that I showed; going to booster lessons (kls tmbhn), I finally achieved to get to the highest level.. In spellings, we were asked to spell very difficult words but I managed to get full marks which is 20/20. In Maths my teacher told me I got level 5 but I'm not sure what was it..(5a or 5b or 5c).
Finally I got a headteacher award.. And it says....

HT award for Academic Achievement

Name: Abid Yunus

Reason: Since joining our school Abid has shown what an excellent pupil he is! He approaches all learning with enthusiasm and enjoyment. He quickly demonstrated his mathematical skills and was subsequently put into the top group where he has thrived. he has a real determination to do well in all subject areas.As a result he has made a great progress in his written English and is an example to all of the rewards hard work can bring. Well done Abid! Thoroughly deserved.

Secondary School

Yesterday, I was so pleased when I received letter from Bournville Secondary School telling that I am in the waiting list for that school. I didn't have to defend to get a place in that school and that is really a good news. I didn't know what exactly abah wrote in the appeal letter. My best friends here who is Anas and Muhammad I is also going to Bournville. Some of my friends were saying, "Why don't you just take the offer to go to Shenley Academy..You can make new friends"

But I've already got a place in Bournville so I won't care about Shenley anymore...

Spring

Its looking to start being spring in Birmingham or Selly Oak.. Every Sunday, I use to go to play football at Selly Park. When I was walking I saw yellow and purple tulips in the field. That was one proof that shows that spring is near. The second reason is it is sunny everyday (well, most of them..) and also quite hot. I know in Malaysia it is SUPER HOT!! The temperature is like 31- 36 degrees celcius. And I also heard that some of my relative was having fever!! >_<. Well here its looks as if its going to be spring.. Thats all I can say..

Snow!!

About 6-7 days ago, it was snowing heavily. The snow started from early morning and finished in midnight so it was snowing for a long time. The next morning abah said the that there was a very thick layer of snow in our back garden. I hurried to the curtains in my bedroom and opened it.. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was white all over the back garden. I was so eager to play with the snow. Then, abah let us go to the back garden to play the snow..We bulid this kind of snowman's head with fabulous details of his face. Then abah told us to go inside to perform our Zuhr prayer..

Lamb Chop.

On Wednesday night Abah was going to cook lamb chop for us. Abah bought the mutton ribs from the halal section in ASDA and told the butcher to cut it into thin slices. But instead the cut them differently like what we thought it would look like. It looked like bones and Abah said lets just make lamb chop. Abah prepared the lamb chop and the coleslaw and salad and potatoes and the brown sauce. It was so delicious and abah told us to take the picture decoritavely.

My Football Boots.

On Friday morning, I woke up and went downstairs. I was waiting for my new football boots that I bought from Ebay on Tuesday. Then, I went to the kitchen. And when I came back I saw my dad giggling. I didn't know what was so funny. Then Abah got a "stuff " on his hands. It was actually my football boots. I knew it was coming so I was really happy.

Adidas +F30

On the next Sunday, Abah's friend invited us to play football at the park. So i told Abah I wanted to test my new football boots. We went to the park at 4pm and played football. Abah's friends haven't come yet so we just played football by ourselves. But after a long time waiting, we decided to go home because none of Abah's friend showed up. My boots were ok and I... like them.

Prefect!!

2-3 days ago, Mrs Croghan told my class about new prefects. Many peoples in my class are prefects because they have been in the school starting from September. So they've been prefect for along time..When Mrs Croghan was going to call the new prefects name out, I was always praying and hoping that I will get picked as a new prefect. Then..... Mrs Croghan called my name and I was ever so happy.. I always wanted to be a prefect because prefects are like good peoples who help support the school. Today I got my prefect badge in the assembly. Mrs Chamberlin who was the headteacher called my name out first. She called me, Yunus. I didn't go to the front bacause I thought it was someone else. Then I realized Yunus was my second name so she might have made a mistake. I knew it was me 'cos Mrs Croghan had told me I was going to be a prefect so I just went to the front and got my badge.. I am very2 happy..

My Results

2 days ago, my teacher, Mrs Croghan told me my SAT's paper results. Firstly I thought it was the literacy result but it was actually the maths result. Some of my friends got 5A which is a very good score. I got 5B for my score.. Some people will start to be confuse when I say it is a good result. Actually the system in UK is different than the system in Malaysia. At Malaysia 5A is the best score. Here, in the primary schools there are 1-5 levels. Level 5 is the highest. And in level 5 there is 5C, 5B, and 5A. And in spellings, I got 20/20 which is full mark. I'm really happy with my results...

Special Mention Certificate

Those certificates were awarded to me during my first month in the school.. What a motivation.....

The next day we went to Eden Project which is about 40-50 miles away from Newquay Travelodge I think and it took about 1 hour and 30 minutes.. Firstly we stopped at Stonehenge but we didn't get to go in b'coz it was raining and the costs to go in there is about £40.00 which is a bit expensive because in wang ringgit it will cost RM 200... So we just took pictures from outside the gate..

..it's actually outside the gate.. hee..hee

Stonehenge...

Soon we arrived at Eden Project. I was so shocked when the front gate was closed because on the brochure it says "We are open on:- 23rd of December.." And then a white, tall man came to us and he said.. " There is still some ice on the road and we are trying as hard as we can and we expect to open at half past eleven.. So we find a place to park and we just waited until half past eleven.. Later we went to the front gate and saw some cars queueing up already..

EDEN PROJECT
We then got to the Eden Project's parking area and we went to the main entrance. When we was walking along the path we saw this.......

A wooden horse..(how creative is that!!!)

We then entered Eden Project.....

We went down the hill by using a truck. Someone drove us there.. When we entered one of those domes we saw an ice rink.. Luckily my brother and me got to play ice skating and it costs £5.00 each person..

INDOOR SKATING!!!!!

.This was our 2nd time we skate but this ice rink seems to look a lot more bigger than the 1st ice rink that we skate on.. Shamefully we did fall sometimes and it hurts because we fell on hard ice.. Atiq was really eager to play and he was crying because he didn't get to play .. So Abah told me to stop for a while and let Atiq have a go at skating.. Anas always had to hold Atiq because he couldn't balance himself.. But then he had enough and gave the skating shoes back to me and I continued skating..

Ithink i'm going to continue later because it is quite late and i'm sleepy so tarah>

Today, Wednesday 13th of January 2010, my school is closed due to heavy snow. The same thing happened again today. Snow started to fall heavily last night and it is still snowing now so there will be a thick blanket of snow on the ground. I'm planning to play sledge and snowball fight with my two brothers. But it is too cold and early to go outside.

LOBSTER 2008

In 2008, my father went to the supermarket to buy some fishes. But when he came home, he brought with him 3 big lobsters. When he was at home i was still sleeping so I didn't have any pictures of the lobsters with me. By that time my little brother, Atiq, was awake because he used to wake up early in the morning on weekends. He was so brave because he holded the lobsters with his hands without fear that the lobster might bite his hand.

Any mistakes please comment :d

Cornwall

On 22nd of December 2009, my family and I went to Cornwall. Firstly we stopped at Lampeter which is in the house of my father's friend and slept over for a night. The next day we went to Swansea and slept again for a night. The next morning we started our journey to Newquay. The journey took three hours. Then we stopped at Newquay Travelodge. Here is a picture of the scenery at Newquay Travelodge parking.

P.S.The Newquay Travelodge is exactly above ALDI which is a huge supermarket.

The best snow day

Since yesterday snow started to fall and stopped today. I was so eager to play slide and make a snowman. So I went to the park this morning and I enjoyed playing with the snow.

The First Day At My New School

On the first day of school, in Raddlebarn Primary School, I was very nervous. I was wondering which class i'm going to be in. I'm looking forward to be in the same class as Anas is in. Anas is a Malaysian boy. He is the son of my father's friend so we meet quite often. Later the headteacher brought me to one of the year six's class. It was Mrs Croghan class. When I entered the class, 6C , I look around the class to see if Anas was in the class.

And then, I saw Anas smiling happily towards me. And then I saw an Indonesian looking boy. His name is Mohammad Firdaus Iqbal.He is also aMuslim. Afterwards, Mrs Croghan shows where i'm sitting for the time being. I was sitting on the same table as Anas is in. That was even better. Later on, somebody who sits next to me who is Adam showed me where the toilets and the dining hall are.


At 3.30 we pack up and line up to go home.When I went out, my mother wasn't there so i went to the back and i saw her, holding my little brother's hand. I went to her and kissed her hand. Soon we walked home together.........
