Everyone has their own wfavourite sport and so do I. My favourite sport is table tennis. I usually play table tennis during my free time and I think this is the only sport I am good at. Yes, table tennis is just like my signature sport. Table tennis is my first in list because it has so many benefits.

One of the benefits of playing table tennis is it can improve hand-eye coordination. This is because when you play table tennis, you will have to catch the ball so quickly. Think of it, the standard size of the table is 153cm x 275cm. It is so much smaller than a badminton or a tennis court. Therefore, you have to be very focus and concentrate to the ball's moves and quickly and counter your opponent's attacks.

Besides that, playing table tennis can also improve mental acuity. People keep saying that doing puzzles can improve mental acuity. Well, so does playing table tennis. If you are playing a high-speed game, the speed of the ball and where the ball is placed at any moment of the game is going to help you develop and improve mental acuity. This sport is grat for students like me as it helps to improve agility and mental alertness.

There is a lot more reasons why I choose table tennis as my favourite sport. One of them is we can play it wherever we want. I do not mean inside the bus, of course but at least we do not have to go to any available court to play table tennis. For example, we can enjoy this fun sport in our backyard as long as we are willing to buy the table. I think this three reasons are more than enough to justify why I love playing table tennis so much.

Any animals makes great pet. That was what I thought.

One day, when I was building a new chicken coop with my father, our neighbour came visited us. Cik Ani is an old lady. She was pretty impressed by our new coop. We greeted her nicely and had a sip or two of tea and talked about our chickens.

Not long after that, Cik Ani invited us to her house to have a look at her cute rabbits. She had nearly twenty rabbits. She offered me three rabbits; one buck and two does only for RM60. It was a great deal actually. The next day, I brought my RM60 in my pocket and bought the rabbits from her.

Now, the two does have given birth to a total of twelve bunnies. However, five of them died. I was so sad because those five died when I was in my campus hotel. The another seven are growing healthily now and honestly, I cannot wait to finish this semester so that I can go home and play with those adorable bunnies.

As an SPM ex-candidate, I can tell you that during my high school years, I always wanted to finish my SPM examination and graduate from high school. However, when the time got closer, I started to feel like I do not want to leave school.

I just could not imagine that the moment I answered my Biology Paper 3 is my last one hour and a half in my school hall. The paper was tough, but we were all happy because it was our last paper. Till today, I miss being in my school uniform. The most precious thing I learnt from schhol is happiness does not come from what we get but from oue effort and struggle to get what we want.

If you ask me, "Do you miss your teacher and friends?" My answer will be of course, I miss them and I miss the time when we all strived together to get good results too because it creates the best, colourful memory in my school life.

My thought about life after SPM is you can do what you want, you are now free but one thing to be kept in mind always, the real life is very challenging, so be prepared to go through it. It is not my intention to scare you about the real life out here but my advice is appreciate what you have now, when and where you are now because time slips so quickly and do the best for your future.

Today, I watched a video titled "Muslims vs. Jews... Are We The Same?" by Drew Binsky, an American famous solo traveler who had traveled around the globe. This video is one of his old videos that he had uploaded on his YouTube channel but since I have not watched all of his videos yet, I decided to click on this video.

Firstly, in this video, he states that, as a Jew, he did not really like Muslims when he was young. This is because he was raised up with prejudice against Muslims. Umar, his new friend, suprisingly, experienced the same thing! The only difference between them is that Umar did not like Jews and Drew did not like Muslims. To this point, I really can relate their situation with mine. I grew up with bad impressions of Jews too but as I grew older and older, I finally realised that there is no such religion in this world that teaches its believers to sow the tree of hatred inside themselves because this will finally lead to war.

Jews and Muslims had been through a dark history when the zionists first invaded Palestine in 1948. This had triggered hatred on Jews in the heart of Muslims. Moreover, our third holy site, Al-Aqsa mosque is in Jerusalem, Palestine. However, it is unjustifiable to label a whole community only because of an act of a group of some. Thus, not every Muslims is a terrorist and not every Jews is a zionist. Good Muslims and Jews are still good people.

Plus, being nice to others is a very simple common sense thing that everyone should be able to understand and practice it on a daily basis. Becoming a nicer person is not as hard as you might think. There are things that you can do to show love, empathy and kindness in your everyday interactions with others such as helping others, being honest and avoid being overly critical. These acts of kindness should traverse everything on its way, including religious barrier.

There are many things in this life that can make us feel happy but I am certain that different people have different things that can boost their mood up.

To me, one of the things that can make me feel happy is looking back at photos and scrapbook albums. It brings me back to my old days when I was young. Everytime I do this, I am always yearning to be in the past. I always do this with my family, cousins and sometimes with my friends. Looking back at old Eid photos with my cousins and grandparents in my hometown reminds me of how wonderful those days were. I cannot be any grateful than being in those days back.

Not just that, getting good results also makes me happy. I love learning something new and always look forward to improving myself especially in academic field. Good result is a good indicator to that. I remember when I was in high school, I aimed for 11A+ and did my best in SPM. The result was astonishing! I get 10A+ and an A in my SPM. Although I did not achieve my target, which I think I was daydreaming too much, I am so happy for the result. As the saying goes, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars". Since I have already planned to get into the Quran studies and leave the pure science field before SPM, I wanted to create the best memory I can before involving into a brand new course.

Different things make different people happy. What I have just mentioned is what makes me happy. Lastly, I hope that everyone in this world is having a nice day today. Even if it is not a good day at all, remember that rainbow comes after the rain.
