Syakila: 14 years old Stateless Child
Giggles and Glitter: A Whimsical Journey with Lively Syakila and Her Ecstatic Friends!
Hi. My name is Syakila. I am 14 years old. I live at Bandar Ramai-Ramai with my family. My dream is to become a painter. I became interested in painting and drawing after discovering Pinterest. Because many of my friends are amusing, I constantly play at the market. We play together every day. We enjoy football, cycling and many more together. I always go to the market to play since that is where my pals go to play.
I once chased after an old man. People warned me that old man was insane, and that if we sang this one song, he would go after you. However, because he (the elderly man) did not leave his house one day, neither did my friends. I discovered that whenever the old man was there, my friend feel joyful. I felt the same way too. We were never bored. And today, no one dare to disturb the old man anymore. That is because he once attempted to hurl a hard wood at one of my friends. Also, no one attempted to sing the song that the old guy despises.
Hai. Aku Syakila. Umurku 14 tahun. Aku tinggal di Bandar Ramai-Ramai bersama keluargaku. Cita-citaku mahu jadi pelukis. Aku minat melukis dari Pinterest sebab lukisan dorang (1) sangat cantik. Aku selalu bermain di pasar sebab banyak kawan-kawanku yang lucu-lucu. Setiap hari kami selalu bermain. Main bola, main basikal, macam-macam (2) kami bermain. Aku selalu main di pasar sebab di situ seja (3) yang selalu ramai yang bermain.
Aku pernah dikejar oleh satu Pak Cik ni. Dia ni orang kata gila sebab kalau kita nyanyi satu lagu tu, terus dibubutnya (4). Tapi semenjak dia (Pak Cik itu) tidak keluar rumah, terus kawan- kawanku tidak keluar bemain sebab kalau Pak Cik tu ada, dunia kawan-kawanku sentiasa gembira. Aku sampai terikut sama kawan-kawanku. Kami tidak bosan. Sekarang tiada lagi yang berani kacau Pak Cik tu. Sebab hari tu dia sampai lempar kayu ke kawan-kawanku. Sampai tiada lagi yang berani nyanyi lagu yang dia ndak (5) suka tu.
