Truly, Madly, Deeply

Hi guys, memandangkan essay sebelum ni, dibaca oleh begitu banyak orang, aku dengan berbesar hati meluangkan masa lagi, untuk share satu lagi essay aku time zaman sekolah...
heheh...

Ahh, tapi ingatlah, Essay ni ditulis oleh aku yang berusia 17 tahun, waktu tu lah aku ambil SPM and dapat A+, aku yang sekarang (20 tahun), English nya agak berkarat...hahaha...sebab aku dah kurang membaca...menjadi pemalas setelah tamat sekolah = =", ish...ish...ish...

Kepada yang bakal duduki SPM, all the best! Sila jangan malas setelah tamat sekolah ya, jalan masih panjang.

Oh ya, essay ni merupakan essay titik mula aku minat English, semuanya disebabkan ni adalah essay pertama aku yang mendapat perhatian ramai (sebelum tu, essay aku sendu2 sahaja, tak famous)... Famous nya esei aku yang satu ni dapat dilihat dari sudut...jeng...jeng...
Esei ni masuk majalah sekolah! Nak tak nak, pelajar sekolah aku, dengan kata lain, 'membeli' eseiku ini...(kan majalah sekolah kena bayar, = =") - haha, walaupun begitu, aku tak dapat keuntungan pun dari sudut wang, hanyalah nama aku sedikit menjadi sebutan waktu tu...

Hahah. Merepek betul. Hmm, ni essay yang aku tulis untuk Ujian 1 Form 5 (sekitar March 2014)
dan soalannya berbunyi, tulis cerita yang ending nya bebunyi "We looked at each other and smiled"

...

Since the day I was born, I never thought about this thing seriously. It was not me to draw a longbow about my life, well, when it was the truth, how could I deny ? This thing might have change my everyday life, my attitude and even myself. To call a spade a spade, amazingly, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the changes it had brought in my life. Love.

...as the saying goes, "it's love that makes world go around", I totally agreed with this.

My final examination was around the corner. To avoid studying at the eleventh hours and a little-known fact about me : I hate to burn the midnight oil. I used to do the revision almost every hour. When I study, I glued myself. No one could change the way I did it. However, there was a time when the thing did not work like how it supposed to.

On that day, which wouldn't be just like every other day, I started my day as usual but finally my mother could change it in a blink of an eye. She asked me to help her to buy an ice-cream  for her when I was studying in my bedroom. At first, I said I could not understand the way she thought about this. For an ice-cream, I must left my study, my mother really thought that way ? When I told her, she said, "Time will tell, you'll thank me for this. Anyway, I'll treat you an ice-cream."

I was in low spirit, cycling my bike to the nearby shop. I didn't know why I help her as every time she asked me, I refused to help her and it worked. She would easily ask my brother to help her. When I reached the shop, I felt my heartbeat, beat faster than usual. I saw a boy. It was him. The person I love the most in my world.

His hair was neat and looked as if it was woven from the hues of midnight sky. His face, made me bear in my mind the face of my favorite actor, Lee Min Ho. Just like I was dreaming, all I could see was a handsome boy in a sapphire blue shirt under a white track jacket. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was so perfect, at least his appearance told me that and made me think that way.

He was choosing a book to be bought. Only a book. Like I was all into him, I knew that at that time I just thought, a guy with book seemed so cool! How I wish I know him! In a perfect way, mostly the way he did at all time in that shop, he paid for the book to the cashier. He stepped out from the shop elegantly and quickly rode his motorcycle to the place I might know.

After he went out from the shop, I made my way to home. I did not realize that I had forgot what my mother asked me to but at the shop. With spring in my steps, and the full of thought about him in my brain, I sang a beautiful love song and rode my bike to home. I believed that I smile from ear to ear along my way to home.

When I reached home, my mother might have realize that I wore a sweet smile on my face when she asked me about my feeling. Foolishly, I said I was extremely happy that I thought I had falling in love! My mother burst out laughing and said she would not take it seriously. My face turned red.

I went to my bedroom to continue with my revision. In my bedroom, out of sudden, I remembered that my mother did not ask me anything about the ice-cream. I couldn't barely stomach any idea about this. I went to ask her but she said, "I believe you have your own reason about this thing. Finally, the smile in your face had returned."

When I heard that from her mouth, tears began to fall from my eyes. I locked myself in my room. This time, I had learned something about myself. I felt my mother's love towards me and I thought about my attitude all this time. I realized that I was wrong about the way I used to live my life and how I refused to help my mother when she asked me. I thought about what kind of face I had showed each time I refused to help her.

"It is me who never smile ? Am I ?" Seriously, deeply I thought about it and after a while I decided to ask for an apology from my mother.

"Change your way, everyone deserves to have a second chance, turn over a new leaf, and Bob's your uncle", my mother said those words to me. In that second, the pieces of my life that had been falling apart fell back in place. Everything that was wrong just righted itself.

By the next day, once again, my other asked me to buy her an ice-cream. This time, I was willing to help her! We had a little conversation for a while and this gave my mother a chance to beat around the bush about my feeling yesterday which I foolishly told her - about I was falling in love with an unknown guy. That mysterious guy. This lead me remembering about that guy. I was thinking of him again.

By the time I reached the shop, I felt nervous. He might be there again in that shop, but, who wanted to buy a book everyday ? With hope he would be there, slowly I entered the shop and...there he was!

This moment, I saw him looking for an ice-cream. It was fated, I was going to buy an ice-cream too. "This is the best day in my life, I decided to help my mother, and God sent me this guy. God gives me the chance to butter both sides of my bread!", I thought in my heart. I went to the place where that boy was busying to pick an ice-cream. I could feel my heart raced while I was watching him.

He looked around and caught me watching him. I looked away, but it was too late. I tried not to smile, but I was embarrassed and that only made me smile more. He didn't seem to notice. Quickly, I picked an ice-cream for my mother and at the same time he picked the same ice-cream too! I nearly burst out laughing but I just smiled meaningfully. We looked at each other and smiled.

....

Hahaha...aku rasa aku zaman dulu aku memang suka berdrama...apa ni...cerita sal beli2 ice-cream... agaknya aku tengah mengidam nak makan ice-cream kot time jawab ujian ni dulu = ="

Ha, aku letak tajuk ni "Truly, Madly, Deeply" sebab  cikgu bi aku suruh aku letak tajuk esei ni kalau nak masukkan dalam majalah sekolah...waktu tu, "Truly, Madly, Deeply" merupakan lagu favorite aku...hahhaa...so, aku letak je lah.
Dan, untuk versi majalah je, aku letak nama Lee Min Ho tu, versi asal yang aku karang, takda la nama Min ho...aku buat begitu sebab zaman dulu, aku peminat fanatik Min Ho, jadi, waktu tu, aku nampak peluang nak promote nama dia dekat majalah sekolah, so, aku manfaatkanlaa...

Hahahahah.

...

Aku nak bagi quick tips kalau nak tulis essay dengan baik.
First sekali, nyawakan cerita anda. Cewwah....nyawakan tu...perghh... = ="
Hmm, maksud aku, describe la sikit. Elaborate. Jangan bagi essay tu tak ada jiwa. Tambah2 kalau tulis cerita. Contohnya, macam ni :

Adik duduk di atas kerusi sambil makan ais-krim.

Hmm, nampak ber 'nyawa' tak ? Takkan. Describe la sikit.

Adik, kanak-kanak girang yang tak mampu senyap asyik menggila, akhirnya mampu duduk senyap di atas kerusi antik berwarna coklat setelah diberi ais-krim vanila, perisa kegemarannya untuk di makan.

Hahaha...ada 'nyawa' kan ? Watak adik tu, bila describe dia girang blablabla, nampak la dia bukan watak dongeng, kerusi tu pun...setelah cakap antik blabla, nampak la, realiti kerusi tu camna... dan ais-krim tu pun...dapat bayang la, warna putih sebab perisa vanila.

Hee...tapi, please la...tu contoh sahaja. Jangan pulak terlalu over nyawakan cerita anda.

Tips kedua, hafal idioms.
Yeah, idioms buat cerita anda lebih menarik...kalau aku dulu, aku fikir idioms apa yang aku ingat, baru aku karang cerita...dengan kata lain, aku akan pusing2 jugak cerita aku tu, sampai aku boleh guna juga idioms yang aku hafal tu...
Hahaha...

Contoh, macam dalam esei di atas, aku ada guna, "Bob's your uncle" kan ? ha, aku belajar idiom tu time tengok interview One Direction (sebab aku minat gila kat 1D) so, aku try2 gak nak guna...hahaha...

K, bye!

Thanks for reading this. Moga bermanfaat.
