I Try!!

Back with a new post!!

I was cleaning my drawers today just to find some old memoirs, like the other day I found my slam book.. I keep on dwellin in the past! Today, I found my old report cards.. Nice comments, some nice grades too.. The one thing that really caught my attention was the printed poem at the back of each report card, "Try Again" which goes like



'Tis a lesson you should heed,
Try again..
If at first you don't succeed,
Try again..
which reminded me of my own poem, "I Try!!", I thought of puttin it up here, to save it..
Here goes;
Over the mountains,
Across the seven skies,
Where I haven't ever been,
Above tops too high,
I try,
To let my voice,
Be heard by you,
But I'll never know,
If you heard my cry,
I try,
Hope against hope,
That I'll find you,
If not in this world,
Then somewhere in the sky,
I try,
To be the person,
You wish to see me,
I'll never do the worst,
And bid you good bye,
And yet,
I try.
Wrote sometime in April, I believe..

First thing i look at when i hold my old report card is how silly i looked back then :) I then try to remember who my closest friends were in that grade. The Report Cards in our school came printed with a line "Keep it up!! Good Luck". It was nice when you were getting A Grades was kinda wierd when your grades were woeful.
Nice poem :) But..

To be the person,
You wish to see me,
I'll never do the worst,
And bid you good bye,
And yet,


It ends abruptly.. why is that

Hey I like the poem....my old report cards used to be so bad, we used to have to get my parents to sign ours but for 6 years I forged their signiture because I was scared of the beating I would get if I ever did show them.

My brother who is many times cleverer than me and 6 years younger started the school when I left, needless to say my mum was a bit puzzled why he had a report card every term and I had never got one. I told her it must have been a new thing they started when I left :blush:
Sarah said…
^ Ibrahim lol That's so funny. Wow, you actually forged your parents' signatures! lol

I wish I could find my old reportcards, I liked the comments my teachers wrote *blush* I have my 6th grade journal that I had to keep in class and some of things I wrote, my goodness, I can't believe I wrote that stuff when I knew the teacher would be reading it. I called some girl in class a butthead in my journal lol *hijabi*

LOL ibrahim.. for 6 freakin' yrs u forged the sig.. meaning that even if u got a good grade u couldnt show them..thats sad..

btw, Mom used to put the date below her sig. everytime she signed my reports, and I was matchin the date of rcvin the rep. and the date she signed, just a days difference. :d

Sarah, did u get penalised?? :!!!: heheh
Sarah said…
lol no, I didn't get penalized. But in one of my journal entries, I was very upset, because the teacher (Mr McNichols) had just rearranged our seating chart, and now I was in the VERY last row of the classroom, and it was pretty lonely back there. So I wrote journal entry after journal entry whining about how miserable I was back there, while everyone else was seated with their friends, I would go on and on and on about how unfair it was. His response? "Life isn't fair." lol... Ufff....

Good grades were very much a rareity for me during school so was not really a problem.....but shamedly I used to forge a lot of stuff....off games notes, sick days etc.....

salaam,

cool blog you've got going,

well we had these things called reviews, they'd come out three times in the year, some were ok others not so good, buts its the reports we got in primary school that were pretty interesting, like my younger brother in his reception report
"Muhammed, still shows great fear when asked to use a pair of scissors and glue as he worries he may glue himself somewhere.

my english used to be terrible and i was worse at reading so i'd improvise and make up stories, and worse still my teach actually wrote that down!

ibrahim, lol we've all forged sick notes, I bet your parents wouldn't beat you, they'd proaably force you to go to extra classes.

btw you write some pretty good stuff karachite, will comment on them indiviudally!

Maybe not beat...but is better they don't know. In my old old school I forged an off games note every lesson for two terms in a row...we used to play rugby and I hated it. I

Memoirs Reborn!!!

"Jiya, beta what do you think of this purple suit?," Zareena Begum asked her 18 year old Jiya. Jiya, who was busy ooh-ing and aah-ing at a mannequin drifted her her eyes away from the suit the mannequin wore to the purple sequinned suit her mother held in her hand. "Aww Mom, its awesome, btw, we never clash in our choices, do we??!!," Jiya replied immediately. And Zareena Begum beamed, "Still beta , its you who will be wearing it after marriage not me," she chuckled, and kissed her lovely and only child on the forehead. She was blessed, and Jiya thought she couldn't be more blessed. ****************************************************** "Jiya, did you try out that eye liner??," Zareena Begum was always worried about Jiya and her not so womanly ways. "Errmmm. No," Jiya hesitated. "But beta , you should try out, only one month left before I send you off to Asif's, what would Asif say??" "Mom, its easy..Asif?? he...

Serious Topic.. (kind of ..)

Hiii once again... ok, if you were asked how much do u detest when sumone hides something from you, delibrately, undelibrately, intentionally, unintentionally, and considering that that sumone is one of your really close associate.. on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being not at all, to 10 being all the time, how would you rate your detest for them..???? For me, it ought to be 9.999999, but since these are discrete no.s hence, i wont be ratin it 9.9999999.. :D lol on a more serious note, since its coming from sumone close, i'd say 9.. not 10, coz of unintentional behaviour.. need a good response.. take care.. byeeee...
