Book Review

One Of Us Is Lying

The book that I chose to write about is titled 'One Of Us Is Lying' by Karen Mc.Manus. It is the first out of the two books that has been published in this series. This book is about four students suspected for a murder case that has recently happened within the four walls of their detention room. The victim is the creator of the notorious gossip app, and he died 24 hours before their secrets would be uploaded online. Everything depends on how far they'll go to protect their secrets from being exposed. 

I've read this book recently and I'd say that it is most likely the best book I've read. There's nothing I would change about the plot of the story. I'd say it's a slight combination of detective fiction, crime fiction and courtroom drama. Therefore, this book may be ideal for crime fiction fans. However, this book may also be unbalanced as different point of views of the story has been featured. The author's style involves multiple inappropriate phrases and scenes for younger readers.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend investing or borrowing a copy as this book has quality content. It was a very enjoyable and engaging read. It also shows the readers the importance of being understanding to others, especially when it comes to people who are different from others.

Puan Azura’s Farewell

 Like all good things, it will come to an end. In this case, our beloved Puan Azura has got to move away. On March 8 2019, Puan Azura was to bid farewell to SMK Bandar Utama Damansara (3) as well as her students. Puan Azura was an amazing Bahasa Melayu teacher as well as the head teacher of the librarians in our school.

After school has ended, all the fellow librarian and a few teachers threw a farewell party for her in the canteen. Everyone had joined in to help prepare a banquet of food in the canteen. Puan Azura was in tears when she saw all the librarians joyously celebrating her arrival. With a few of her tears, it brought some to our eyes as well. The librarians then listened to her speech though was muffled with a few sobs and was greatly moved by her.

As a representative of the students, I am proud to say that she was an astounding teacher through out my school life as a Bahasa Melayu teacher who taught me well and as a teacher who represented the librarians who brought us through thick and thin. Though our time with you was way too short to our liking, we will deeply miss you, Puan Azura.

SPM Result Day 2019

 On the 14th of March 2019 , the ex-seniors of SMK BU3 have revisited their school to collect their highly anticipated SPM results which they have been waiting since last year . Most of them came earlier than they should so they can greet their beloved teachers who have taught them a lot throughout the years.

  The students and their parents gathered at the basketball court which has been decorated with balloons and flowers . The principal of SMK BU3 started the ceremony with a speech to thank for all the hard work by the teachers and students who have thrived before SPM 2018 . Shortly after the speech , the students finally collected their results.

  Some cried and some were hugging their parents. Despite the amount of As they got , they were still proud of their results. Not to mention , the amount of students that successfully have gotten straight As for their results were 20 people which has broken the record of straight As SPM students for the previous years in SMK BU3.

  The day ended when all the students have collected their results. Overall , it was a good day for everyone.
