Earlier this month, we have distributed flyers to each class for the competitions and we
have gotten great reception from the students. The theme for this month is
FRIENDSHIP. We hope all of you will enjoy reading it.
One smile can start
a friendship,
One word can end a
fight,
One look can save a
relationship,
One person can
change your life.
: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FR IEN DSH I P?
Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more
people. Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an
association. Friendship has been studied in academic fields such as
sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and philosophy.

THURSDAY,14 JAN –A group of SMKAPians went to
UNITEN to watch what they described as a “great theatre”. Based on our interview,
they said that the theatre was a fascinating experience. The theme of theatre is
Black and White while the concept of the theatre is Epic and Dramatic and true to
its name, epic and dramatic it was!
Four groups joined the competition which are Alla Fonte, Majestic, Myste-
rious and De Chaplin but Alla Fonte was the only one who successfully attracted
judges’ interest. Our interviewees revealed that it is because there was a character
named Stella who was acted by a man but the actor did it very well and made the
huge hall filled with laughter. “I did not feel sleepy at all because the theatre was
really fun especially when it comes to the musical part, ”said one of them.
Two students from our school were lucky because they won gifts from a lucky draw there. From the theatre, now they realise that
riendship is very important in our life as a human beings. Last but not least , they really hope that SMKAP will hold a similar theatre compe-
ition and any other interesting activities.

SHORT STORY
WORLD’S GRE TEST TRE SURE
WRITTEN BY: NUR SYAHIRA BT MOHD
BIDU -4AB-
With an empty mind, I contin-
ued my walk along a sparkling river. I
could barely hear any voices calling for
me. But, I kept walking. Without know-
ing my true destination.
* * * *
When I woke up, I found that I
was lying on my bed. “What’s with that
dream?” I thought to myself. Suddenly,
I could hear someone enter my room
and I clearly saw my friend, Anna. She
stood there, not able to come into my
room. Her face was so pale and due to
her red eyes. I assumed that maybe she
was crying. “Anna! Are you okay?” I
asked. But there was no answer. After
a few seconds, I saw her eyes became
teary again and she hurriedly walked
away without closing the door.
* * * *
I tried to find my friend but
she was nowhere to be seen so I made
sure to find her later. When I realised, I
was already standing in front of my
house. The scenery of my university
really made me shocked. My univer-
sity, which was known for its happy
and joy students, today all of them
were spreading a gloomy atmosphere
and for no reason, my eyes became
teary. Suddenly, “Students! The time
has come!” because of the announce-
ment, all of the students were heading
somewhere quickly.”Where are you
going? Someone tell me what is hap-
pening!” I shouted to the crowd but
there was no answer. “Why are all of
them ignoring me?” I muttered. I don’t
know why, but as a the time passed,
my head became dizzier without know-
ing I was slowly fading.
* * * *
“What happened to me? Help
me!” Without knowing anything, I hur-
riedly ran towards my house to ask for
my friend’s help. I tried to open the
door but I couldn’t feel it. And, I finally
understood. I know the reason of the
gloomy atmosphere, the reason why
Anna was crying. The puzzled had
pieced together. I realised that I’m al-
ready dead.
* * * *
Now, my head was throbbing
in pain. I could see a picture of myself
running across the road before getting
knocked by a car. I saw my own body
lying motionless on the road. At that
time, I saw Anna running toward my
unconscious body, begging for help. I
cried and I tried to hold her, but I
know that I can’t, anymore. And my
world became pitch dark.
* * * *
My body was shaking in fearwhen I first open my eyes. This place is
a cemetery. I saw many people includ-
ing Anna, crying, because of my death.
The words “Forgive me” was being re-
peated by her. At that time, I didn’t
know why but I felt very happy to have
them around me. I felt very thankful to
be able to meet them.”Thank you and
it was not your fault, Anna. Don’t be
sad, my friend.”I slowly said. My heart
ached when I saw Anna putting a silver
star-shaped necklace on my
grave.”Sorry for taking a long time to
find it. I will miss you, Sarah and please
forgive me” said Anna and she walked
away with in tears. My tears ran down
my cheeks and I really wished that I
can hug her for one more time.” I will
miss you!” I murmured.
* * * *
SARAH: Anna! Did you see my neck
lace?
ANNA : Your necklace...the broken
necklace?
SARAH: That’s right! The star-shaped
necklace. Have you ever seen
it?
ANNA : ... I had thrown it away along
with the garbage...I’m sorry,
Sarah.
SARAH: You threw it?
ANNA : Sarah !!!
With that, I quickly headed
outside. I could barely see a pile of gar-
bage across the road. With that, I hur-
riedly ran across the road. My mind
was too occupied to realise that a
speeding car was heading toward me.
We received only a few entries this time around but of them all, this essay from NUR SYAHIRA BT MOHD BIDU won us over.
Thank you to everyone who participated and we hope more of you will be sending us entries in the future.

POEM
FRIEN SHIP
I was happy,
When I am with you,
When I feel wrong,
You were there,
To calm me.
I just want to be good,
Only for you my best friend,
Let me show you,
How I am proud,
To be your friend.
I know you’re,
Bored of getting,
An ear with,
Nobody to care,
So just grab me,
To leave this painful situation,
My friend,
I will help you,
As long as I could.
I will take care of you,
As my sister,
You’re everything to me,
That I see,
You make my life,
Full of happiness,
Thank you my friend.
My heart is getting cold,
Nobody wants to cheer me up,
If I was sad.
I only have you,
My best friend.

When you’re up,
Your friends know who you are,
When you’re down, You know who your friends are.
