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.

 Merdeka Celebration On the 19th of August 2020, SMK BU3 has held a Hari Merdeka Celebration. Only a few classes were allowed to be at the celebration since we had to practice social distancing in public spaces. The celebration was started off by making sure all the students were seated far enough from one another. Then, a doa was recited by a fellow senior to ensure everything goes well on that day. The headmistress gave a welcoming speech after that.  After the speeches , the first performance for the day was a singing perfomance by Jyllian Kok. Then , another performance by Sofia Narissa. Both of them were given a big rounf of applause for their wonderful performance. Then , all the students were asked to stand up and sing along together to a few famous patriotic songs such as Jalur Gemilang , Tanggal 31 and many more. Everyone had a lot of fun and were probably grateful to be a Malaysian !

Puan Azura’s Farewell

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 repres
