am, the highest number of cars and motorcycles were recorded with 1000 and 500
for cars and motorcycles respectively. This could be due to the fact that people are
rushing out to their workplaces.

After that peak period, vehicles seemed to lessen to about half of what it
were in the first period with 500 and 200 for cars and motorcycles respectively.
These amounts were further reduced to about half again in the period of 10 am – 12
pm with 200 and 100 for cars and motorcycles respectively.

During the 12 pm – 2 pm period, the number of vehicles skyrocketed to a

whopping 900, 400 and 75 for cars, motorcycles and buses respectively. People are
going around for lunch at this hour, thus the great amount of vehicles.

pm period as most commuters are already back at their offices for work. The 4 pm
– 6 pm period marked the final peak period where people headed back to their
homes with 950 and 500 cars and motorcycles respectively.

The number of public buses was somewhat consistent throughout the 12 hour
study with a peak of 75 at 12 pm – 2 pm. This could be attributed to the consistent
service provided by the company.

 A survey was done on five subjects to see how well students performed. It
could be observed that girls scored better marks than boys in Mathematics with
85% and 75% respectively. This could be due to the huge amount of exercises that
they have done.

Girls scored better than boys again in the subject of English Language but the
boys scored more marks in the Malay Language paper. This was contributed by the
large number of Malay speaking male students in SMK Impian.

In the History paper, the girls did much better than the boys with 78% whilst
the boys only scored 42% in average. Again, the hardworking girls outdid the much
lazier boys. The same feat was repeated in the Moral paper with the girls
outsmarting the boys yet again.

The highest marks scored by the girls were for the Mathematics paper whilst
the lowest mark scored was for the Malay Language paper. They boys, however,
scored best in the Mathematics paper whilst they got poor marks for the History
paper.

To conclude, it can be seen on average that the girls did better than the boys
in this monthly test.

44% majority of correspondents choosing it. This could be due to the low price that

choosing it. This was because many students liked eating thin crust pizza as
opposed to thick crust.

Chicken had done in the past such as their free ‘Teh-Tarik’ for early birds.

popularity could be due to the fact that this is the holiday period for students.

the months where exams are just around the corner and school life starts to

teachers. This was due the fact that the first semester holidays were in these
months. The girls were not too enthusiastic about this period of the year, which
could be because they would not be able to meet with their friends for some time.

The beginning of the year, marked by the months of January to March, is not
too popular with the boys because they have to go back to school after a long
