This wil be my last year in school . How time flies . Only yesterday i remember walking into class on the first day of my secondary school life , thinking of all the amazing new experiences i was gonna go through ,  all the new friends i would make and so on . Well , it has been one heck of a ride . But as the saying goes , life does go on , whether we want it to or not . The next thing i'm looking forward to , after SPM of course , is college . The major question mark in my life though , is my job . But first of all to get a job , i must attend a job interview .

     This is where a lot of people , not only from Malaysia , but from all over the world , struggle to grasp the concept of a job interview . First of all , you need to confirm the time and date of your inteview . With that in mind , find appropriate clothes based on the dress code . For guys . a suit and tie would be just nice  whereas for girls , a blazer with  skirt and a shirt should be just fine . After that , you must read up and do your research about the background of the company . With this , you will be ready for any questions asked regarding the company during the interview . Lastly , be there on time and mind your manners at all times .

     With these few steps , a job interview , which may seem stressful at first , will become a piece of cake . Just make sure to stay by these steps and you will do just fine on any interview .

     Nowadays in Malaysia , road users have other issues to be worried of other than the usual threat of accidents . Road bullies . These people , or should i call them animals , have been around for the past decade or so , but only now , have they decided to show their true colours on the roads in our beloved nation . Although they claim they have perfetly good reasons for commiting their acts of violence , the endless recordings by other road users or pedestrians have proved otherwise . In general , road bullying can be defined as an instance in which one road user threathens , be it by hand or by using weapons , other road users . In most circumstances , these incidents occur after accidents , where the road bully gets out of his car to violently confront the other victim(s) of the accident .

     Road bullies should be duly punished for the crimes they've commited . The question that has has been weighing on everyone 's mind though , is what kind of punishment should be dished out to them? In my view , they should not only be given lengthy prison sentences , but also given additional punishments , such as community service or in really severe cases , public caning .

     This will teach them the importance of always being nice to others and not just simply threathening whoever they wish . From this , they will be able to move on in life and lead a better life in general due to the valuable lessons they would have learnt from the consequences of road bullying .

Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. In trying to please everyone. they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.

There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, whether it is in the form of coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end, like other drugs. caffeine only leads to more stress. A better way to deal with stress is to exercise: Research has proved that physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. Making sure you get enough sleep is also an important way of avoiding stress and of staying healthy and full of energy.

Another way to avoid stress is by managing your time effectively. It is better to do a few tasks really well, than lots of tasks badly. Know your limits and try not to take on too much. Finally, If it all gets beyond your control, don't panic or get hysterical. Find the time to sit down quietly and breathe deeply for ten to twenty minutes. Do this regularly, and it will help you calm down and put things into perspective.

Well nowadays at school ,  things have been a lot more differen than they usually are . The biggest difference is that , SMKDJ HAS REVETED TO A SINGLE SESSION SCHOOL . Haih . Gone are the days where we could just take our own sweet time to walk down to the canteen to buy our food because nowadays with over 200 students in the canteen at a time , it is almost impossible to buy food , find a place to sit , and finish our food all within 30 minutes . As if that wasn't enough , some of our favourite stalls , especially the roti canai stall and the drinks stall have all been taken  away from us . And now , they have got even better stalls with amzingly high prices . Haih . School these days have just become too much to deal with . From too much homework to an extension of schooling hours , almost eveything new implemented this year has gone against the wishes of all the students . The only patch of sunshine amongst all this darkness is that the co-corricular timetable has also been rectified , not only reducing the allocated time for each activity , but also helping the students getting it over and done with every week as soon as possible . Thank god that this is my last year in high school though , so i only have to bear with all these nonsense for only a few more months....

     Well I was born on the 4th of December in the year 1998 . Little did i know that on this very day , so many important historical events have taken place , some of which have changed mankind forever . For example , in the year 1110 , the Syrian harbour city of Saida surrendered to the Crusaders . It went on to become the centre of the Lordship of Sidon , which was an important lordship in the Kingdom of Jerusalaem at that time . 

     Furthermore , the Treaty of Paris was also signed on this very day further down the road , in the year 1259 . This treaty was signed between the king of England at that time , King Henry III and the French King , King Louis IX . This important agreement finally managed to end years of conflict between the Capetian and the Plantagenet dynasties .  

   Other than that , the Byzantine general Belisarius managed to complete the conquest of Sicily ,defeating the Ostrogothic garrisonof Syracruse , thus ending his consulship for the many , many yeasr to come on the 4th of December 535 . This conquest served as the base for the upcoming war against Italy , which they were doomed to lose . 

     As you can see , the 4th of December is indeed an important date in world history . From the many interesting events that occured on this very date , there are many valuable lessons to be learnt . First of all ,  we must be brave and courageous in everything that we do or aim to do in life , be it in studies or in sports . Last but not least , we have to dream big , because only then can our dreams come true . 

Floods continue to affect the Malaysian states of Sabah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang after further heavy rainfall. As much as 255 mm of rain fell in 24 hours between 21 and 22 December in Kuantan, state of Pahang. Earlier today the Malaysian Meteorological Department issued a high level warning for heavy rain in parts of Peninsular Malaysia.Flooding first struck the region over 1 week ago. Since 16 December, four people have died in Kelantan and one person is missing in Pahang state after being swept away by flood water whilst attempting to cross a river in Sungai Lembing.Currently 20,468 people have evacuated their homes in Kelantan. Over 6,000 people remain in relief centres in Terengganu.In Pahang over 3,000 have been displaced. Kuantan is the worst hit district, with 1,623 people being housed at 20 relief centres. Malan district has also been badly hit and over 1,000 people have been displaced there.I really feel sad for these people as they have laugh almost everything in life except for their loved ones , some of who have also perished.We should really consider donating any items needed such as clothes and food and even money to really help the citizens in these flood ravaged states.

  Citizens ravaging in the waters to search for items of importamce.
