Today I went back to KL from Kota Bharu by car with my father. I just arrived my house at 6.15pm. When we arrived at Lipis, there was a police road block. The policeman asked my father to pull over and my father did. The policeman told that we were speeding 117km/h. My father was very angry and lectured the policeman. My father was travelling at normal speed even the old Proton Wira overtook my father's car on double lines. Lorry which has very low torque also overtook our car. We were only speeding for a few seconds and other cars was fast too. But the policeman do not want to listen to my father, he still going to write the summon to my father. Alot of other cars was speeding and I am really sure that the police only stop a few cars at random. A few cars overtook illegally on double lines but the police did not stop them. My father told the policeman not to write the summon but the policeman said that if he does not write the summon, his boss will scold him. He said that our car has been captured on camera and he must write a summon.
My father said to him he don't care about that, he said this is so unfair because he was driving very carefully and saw alot of other cars overtake dangerously but did not stop by the police. My father also said to him that he has being paying thousands of summons since he travel to Kelantan every week and he don't have money because he is retired. But the policeman still continues writing the summon. My father said he don't mind paying the summon since he was speeding but he hates that the police was being unfair to him. My father pleaded again many times to the police not to write the summon but he said our car has been already recorded by the speed trap machine. So my father ask him to use the speed trap machine and there will be no need to write the summon. Then the policeman gets fed up and he says OK. I do not know whether the police going mail the summon or not. But it just ended like that. My father was very angry!
I think the police is not being fair because they only stop the car which is new and branded cars. Like my car, it is Land Rover Freelander. They do not stop old and cheap cars like Proton Wira or Datsun Bluebird even tough they were speeding and overtake illegally. They stop the cars like Toyota Camry, BMW and Honda Civic. But I don't say that the police is not good, the police is good but they were unfair this time. I am sure other people were also angry like my father and cursed the police many times for making peoples life difficult.
Usually, cars from the opposite side of the road will flash their lights if there is a police road block ahead but I don't know why no one flash their lights to warn us about the road block. So we did not get the summon at last but maybe they will mail it to us later.
Tomorrow I got Mathematics 1 and Prinsip Akaun 1 exam. I am not ready and I am very scared. OK! that's all from me, see you guys later.

Yup, I agree it would be a good practice for you to improve your essay writing by keep on updating your blog. But at the same time, you need to read a lot too. Make it a habit to read short articles in newspapers or your favorite english magazines. Try not to think in Bahasa Melayu when writing coz you tend to translate them and the whole sentence will sound awkward. I'm not a good writer myself. I grew up by reading Enid Blyton a lot. That's why my English was not that "high-level". I admire Itah, I think she writes very good. Get some writing tips from her. Ilah writes very well too. OK, keep it up. Keep on writing. Be careful with your grammar.e.g. "he doesn't care...", "he has been paying...", "my father said he doesn't mind...", "my father asked him...", "the policeman got fed up and he said OK", "they were speeding and overtaking illegally..", just to name a few.....Ok, Arif, still have time to improve. Good luck!
