New Life, New Goal, New focus.

I'm beginning a new journey. A journey i can't explain yet must be gone through. soon what's life of mine will be what will be .I'm also starting to write for the current living situations in Malaysia.

This is the first phase of the short story:
I'd like to share with you a story of a standard 4 student
let's call him Gim Kut
His father is a constructor
After school Gim always finds himself by the school bus waiting alone because his other friends has been picked up by their parents and school buses earlier

and he just sits there staring at the endless passage of cars through the highway as he await his loving fater or mother to come and get him home.

The wait was always long winded. as he wait and wait his stomach growled and he finds himself wandering to the school cafeteria which just happened to close, and he howled to them" tunggu, boleh jual sikit roti kepada saya, lapar lah" but the tauke said" dah tutup dah, pergi lah lain tempat." " anty tolonglah, i saya akan tangung GST atas roti pau tu" And the aunty look at him with pitied eyes and said" Sudahlah lewat ni, belum balik lagi ke?" "Belum anty, Bapa saya kerja lewat lagi, terpaksalah saya makan roti untuk petang ni lagi"
"Kesiannya, naiklah bas sekolah sama sama kawan kawan yang lain kan senang?"
"aduhai anty, memang dah diberitahu kat ayah, tapi tiada bas yang berjalan sebegitu jauh."
"oh, begitu rupanya, saya kena tutup kedai ni, you jaga dirilah, boy!"
" terima Kasih, anty"
As Gim strolled away towards the bus stand with one hand holding a red bean bun to his mouth, he wondered if things could change for him one day.

Hoping for a change in his life, Gim urge his father to allow him to work part time to save up for the latest Video game in store.
"No! absolutely not!" said his dad " Your performance in school is still too low for you to have any additional activities!"
"but dad, THe latest game is on sale, GTA 5 and everyone is talking about it"
"No buts, no means no, Untill your performance in school is satisfactory, i won't have you talking anymore nonsense of games"

And with that note, Gim stradled his head low and walk lowly to his room.
tired and fatigue he looked at his report card on his table.
" what's wrong with these results" said to himself. I'll bet many people score these marks"

To be continued...
