Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Qu Nur Fatehah. You may call me Qu. I am 13

years old. I’m studying in SMK Dato’ Bentara Dalam. My hobbies are cooking and reading. During the

weekend, I always read my favourite novel. In the evening, I will try to learn new recipes.

Everyone has a best friend, including me. My best friend is Adawiyah Adleen. She is also my classmate. She is a nice and helpful girl. She always helps others when they need

help. I want to be a teacher when I grow up. I hope my ambition

will came true.

• My favourite food is chicken rice. Once in a month, I would ask mother to cook the delicious and tasty chicken rice. My favourite drinks is guava juice.

• My favourite subject is Mandarin. When I was 7, my parents sent me to learn Mandarin. Now, I can speak Mandarin fluently.

I LOVE MALAYSIA.• I love Malaysia because Malaysian are kind and

caring. They always donate to people who need help. When there are floods, many Malaysians help the victims. We also send money when there are famines in other countries.

• Malaysia is a peaceful country. Most citizens follow the laws. We do not have to worry about wars. All races live in harmony. We respect each other’s customs. We even celebrate festivals together.

THE SAD AND HAPPY MEMORIES IN MY LIFE

THE SAD MEMORIES…

When I was 11, I lost someone that I love, my mother. My mother passed away when I still young. She had a cancer when she was 32 years old. My mother passed away at the age of 35. I love my mother so much, but now she is gone. Nobody can replace my mother. However, I believe that my mother will always be with me in my heart.

THE HAPPY MEMORIES…

My happiest moment happened on 21 January 2009. It was my birthday. My grandmother bought me a big present, it was a teddy bear. The teddy bear was so cute and I like it so much. The next day, my aunt brought me to Genting Hingland and Cameron Hingland - two famous tourist attractions in Malaysia. I enjoyed my time with my cousins. It’s was so fun. I hope I can go there again.

• Malaysia is a harmony country, there are many festivals that we celebrate in Malaysia. For example:

• Muslim celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri. They celebrate it after fasting during the month of Ramadan. The day begins with special prayers. Children show respect to their elders by seeking forgiveness.

• Hindus celebrate Deepavali. This festival usually takes place in October. Many Hindus light oil lamps to brighten their homes. They also use coloured rice to make beautiful patters in their houses.

• The Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year. It is celebrated in

January or February. Every family has a reunion dinner on New Year’s eve. On New Year’s Day, children receive red packets known as ang pow. Some families hold a lion dance.

• The Kadazans in Sabah celebrate the Pesta Kaamatan after the rice harvest in May. They hold ceremonies to honour the Rice Spirit. The people celebrate with food and dances. They also choose the Harvest Queen called Unduk Ngadau.

• YOUNGEST TO SCALE MT. EVEREST

Ahmad Reduan Rozali and Muhamad Muqharabbin bin Mokhtarrudin, both aged 22, scaled Mount Everest on May 16, 2004. They reached the summit at 11am, after a 4-day treck from the BASE camp.

• THE FIRST MALAYSIAN AT THE NORTH POLE

The first Malaysian to walk to the North Pole are Justin Read and his older brother Gerald. They walked over 111 kilometres when the temperature was 30 degrees below freezing point

• THE STRONGEST HAIR AND THE STRONGEST TEETH

The late R. Letchemanah had the strongest hair. He used his hair to drag a Boeing 737 jet plane for 16.85 metres. V. Rathakrishmann surprised his spectators when he pulled a bus. He used his teeth!
