Scho0linG dAys... PART 2

I remember my first day at secondary school. All the form 1 student will go through orientation week. We learned about the school compound, school song, and the school regulation. Not forgetting we make new friends. On the 2nd last day of the orientation week I was been called by one of the English teacher that apparently knew my father. At that time, I was getting ready to go back home. The teacher ask me to come to school in the evening for one audition. I was shocked because I was new at that moment. And of course I don't expect to be called for any thing yet. That evening I went to school as been told. There was so many people in the school hall. The seniors called one by one to go on the stage and express the expression they ask us in one sentence. The audition is to find new layers of artors and actresses for the drama competition. After the audition was done, I was told that I will be one of the drama club. I made friends with all of them and our friendship lasts till now. We had the drama competition among the schools to determine which school will represent the district to the state level competition. Our drama club came out with a script entitled "Jack and the Beanstalk 2". I held the role for Jasmine (the heroin).
The story is sort of the continuation of Jack and the Beanstalk. The difference is Jack and the Beanstalk 2 happens to the son of Jack, Jack Junior (JJ). JJ was not aware of the incident that happened to the father. He too got a can of bean from a friend. He accidently threw the bean outside the window when his mother gave him a fright. [During the competition time, they judges were shocked because the beans accidently thrown near them. hehe] The next day, the beans that were scattered on the ground grew into a big long tree that leads to way up into the sky. JJ was curious with the tree. So he climb up there and met Jasmine. Jasmine and JJ were from two different worlds. Jasmine was afraid of JJ at first because of their different looks. After meeting Jasmine that day and was frighten by Jasmine's father, he planned to make friends with Jasmine. He will climb up to Jasmine's world and play with Jasmine. Not long later, Jasmine told him everything that was happening in her world and came out with a plan to unite JJ's world (human world) and her world (giant world). The conflict arose after the incident JJ's father discovered the Giant's world. They went to meet the elder and the elements of the world; Fire, Water, Soil, Wind. 2 elements hate JJ's world because they said JJ's world had cause the chaos at their place whereas the other two support the giant's world. The elder's role is almost the same a a judge. He will be the one calming the elements there against fighting. JJ and Jasmine will meet the elder every day to discuss about the matter. At last, both world united with the great effort from Jasmine and JJ.

That was the story of the drama we played. To my surprise, we won the drama competition at district level. The state level competition was held at Muar District. We did more props before the State Level Competition. But we didn't win due to other strong competitors from few other districts. We were down. Our teacher told us not to for we had done our best to win this competition after a few years we had lost to one particular school in our district.
I was glad that we had won the drama competition that year because we gained lots more of experience at state level.

While the drama competition was going on, I was ask to join the debate competition. Our school was once represent the district to the state level during my sister's time. After that, our school barely made it to the finals at district level. It was quite frustrating to not be able to compete at state level. I was not expose to this competition. I was kind of blurr about what the competition was all about. Luckily for me I have a year to learn about debate. Since then, I was the 'important' one in the English club.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I was in secondary 2, I was someone that most of the teachers would rely on. We did plan to do a study tour to KL. I was the head of the tour. The activities were been planned and arranged by our music teacher. We went to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra(MPO), visit the HQ of LRT. Our visit to MPO was the best of all. We were told that we was the 1st group from Johor to arrive at MPO. A day before the concert, we went there and was told about the do's and dont's, history of MPO, and the performance that we were going to see the next day. The hall was so huge. There were sits for the VVIP's and so many more. It is like the ones that we will usually see in the TV. The feeling was unspeakable. There's no words can be associated with the feeling that we experience. After the performance, the conductor came to use and chit chatted with us. We even took a picture for our rememberence. In addition, our picture was been publish in a newspaper the following day. It was so remarkable. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The year I'm sitting for my PMR examination was a stressful year. So many things to revise and with the activities I was involved, I felt like the 24-hours wasn't enough for me to use. But thank God, everything went well eventhough we didn't win the debate competition. I was gaining more and more knowledge and experience. It was a not so great year for me though. ^^

lost hope

What job am I going to do when I work? How high education will I go? Where shall I go to pursue my dreams? When will I be very confident about my future?
Aaarggghh.... I'm sick and tired of all this? Why can't I get into anything that I applied?? Why must I be wondering what my future holds for me? Why!Why!Why!! I don't understand. My friends know where they were going to head to. What about me? Where am I going?

Scho0linG dAys... PART1

My parents sent me to SK school which is near to my house when I was 7 years old. I remembered one incident that happened to me when I was in primary one. It's so embarrassing. There was one particular day that I went back to school after a week off due to my fever or chicken pox. I don't really remember what I was going through that time. My neigbour's granddaughter was my best friend. We will spent our time together playing games like cooking, and also study on our weak subjects. Moreover her mother was teaching in the same school. So I spent most of my time in her house.
*back to my original story*
The day I went back to school, I saw nurses came to school to give the students injection. I can't remember what injection was that for. Hehe.. SInce I was a young girl, I was terrified to see needle. I don't know why. I think I'm phobia with needles for no reason. I'm still afraid of it now.. Usually when the nurses come, I'll be the last person to be jab. I'll ask all of my classmates to go first. And of course my turn still come at last. So I will be looking else where when the nurse get the needle ready. Sometimes, if I get to a nice nurse, then she will talk to me to distract my attention from the needle. But it don't work for me. No matter what she say or do I will still have the fear in my head. The funny thing is that I cried when I got the injection. Haha... I can't stop crying. My friends all were looking at me. Some of them were laughing at me. An old friend of my mother who was working as the Guru Penolong Kanan there came to the rescue. She was being told by the teachers I guess that I was crying. So she brought me to call back home. My parents were buzy at that moment. So they can't fetch me. My brother and sister were studying. So she brought me with her to her class. I sat behind while she wazs teaching. Later, my parents came and took me home.
After that incident, my friends start teasing me for crying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I was in primary 4, the school provide the students chinese class. I attended the class with one friend (malay) and my mum's friend son (chinese). He's older than me 1 year. We attend the class together. Everytime we were in the class, we will find a place for all three of us. Whosoever reach first is responsible to find place for the others. When the teacher was teaching, the 3 of us will chit chat. Hehe.. The teacher would always stare at us because we were too noisy. *I can't believe a was so naughty* We had been sitting together, helping each other with the homework until one fine day. I had no idea what had happend. My mum came home and ask me whether I pak tor with him or not. I was shocked. At that time, we was so naive. Didn't think of anything besides being friends. Don't know how can the rumors came out saying that we were couple. Haiz. My mum said his mother went to school and complaint about the rumour. My mum also was shocked with the incident and came home quickly to ask me about it. Which in turn I was speechless, knowing next to nothing. From then on, my friend and me don't even talk to him or sit with him anymore. Even when we walk into each other, we will look elsewhere. Even when we were studying in the same secondary school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had been elected as a prefect from primary two till primary six. The teachers look up on me. And I hold the record of the longest time of being a prefect in my family. My brother and sister was a prefect when they were in primary six. Whereas, my youngest sister became a librarian only. My parents will always tease my siblings saying that they were not as discipline as I am. I will laugh at them most of the time and boast about it. The prefect chart will be dominated by the prefect in primary six. When I was in primary six, all the prefects bet who will going to be the president and vice president. The president was one bright student from my class (6Aman). We thought that the prson who will holding the post of Vice President will be another friend of mine (Nabilah). But our discipline teacher haven't officially inform who holds the post of the President and Vice President. As usual, the students will hear rumours about who will going to get that post and so on. The teachers were talking about it too. One day, when I was making sure that no student were loitering at the canteen with the other group members, the discipline teacher (Mr. Majid) called me into the teachers' dining area. He was eating at the moment when he ask me whether who I think should be holding the Vice president post. I gave a few names and reasons of my choices. He listens and then said, the teachers had all agreed to elect me as the Vice president. I was shocked. I couldn't believe that the teachers put such high expectations on me. I even told him that I'm not good enough to be the Vice President. He told me to believe in myself. He said that he knows I can serve the school well and hope that I will not turn down the offer. After hearing the reasons the teachers chose me, I accepted the post willingly and promise that I will do my very best. My responsibilities are no longer in my group only but the whole school prefects. Me and the President did a few new changes in the prefects board. We came out with new time table for every prefect during the weekly assembly. We put prefects in-charge for the MC, reading vow, reciting prayer and a person to make sure the PA system is working well. During the assembly time, the president and me will roam at each block to make sure no one was trying to escape the assembly. It was fun. Eventhough the responsibility was big but I enjoyed my work. I don't complaint about anything. I do miss my primary school. I hope I can turn back the time.

b0ring day

Today the weather is so hot. So nice if there's swimming pool nearby. :)

I'm still waiting for the maktab result to come out. If I didn't get it then I wouldn't know where shall I go. But it's kinda weird that I don't feel anything. I mean everyone sure will feel nervous before the result comes out. I don't have that feeling at all. Not a single feeling of nervous or what-so-ever. Haiz.....

Today there's nothing much to do. So boring..!!! Feel like going to the beach but the place is full of tents for the carnival. What to do...?? :(

Inexpressible

Today after sending my sisters to school, I went to the beach. The sea water was so beautiful, blue-ish green in colour. I like to sit and be mesmerized by the work of God. I can't really say it's beautiful because it was way beyond that. Unfortunately, I can't stay long.
When I'm down, the first thing that cross my mind will be "BEACH!!"
I don't know why. Maybe it is because whenever I see the sea, I'll feel calm and safe.
I'll surely miss the sea when I go further my studies...

my life after receiving my P license

The time of being fetch by other people is over. I am the 'driver' for my sisters now. After I passed my JPJ exam, everyone was asking about my P license. "When will you receive your license?", "Can you fetch us out?" ,etc.....

Everyone bombat me with questions every day without fail. Until the day I got my license of course. Starting from that moment, the scenario of my life after SPM which I had in my mind since the lat day of the SPM examination vanished into thin air.

I was kind of imagining my life would me very relaxing after taking the SPM examination. My daily chores would be cleaning the house, tidying my room, helping around in the kitchen and most of the time spending infront of the TV; watching my favourite TV series, drama, movie and music videos.*sigh*

The next day, around 2pm, I get a call from my sister asking me to fetch her from school and back to school at 5pm. I was scared at 1st because didn't even done any test drive with the cars avilable at home. So I called my father to fetch my sister home. Later that evening, I went for my 1st test diving with my dad using Kancil. My legs were shivering as if I was taking test with the JPJ. So my father told me the direction to go. I went to the Industrial area, the village where I was living in, Taman Wawasan, way to the school and then back home through the hill. I was so scared that I didn't exceed 40km/hour. My dad was so patient with me. :P

Then, I was assigned to fetch my two dear sisters back and forth to school. Not forgetting that I was heping my aunt with her business account. I will only go into the office after they come back from the shop so my working hours is like 1-2 hours daily. hehe.... Can I even consider it as working...?? ^o)

Later at night I will stay at my grandparents's house. After my last paper, I stayed at my grandparent's house. Accompany them because no one else were there besides the maid. Well I was the 'best' grandchild they could ever ask for. :D

I'll stay awake until aroung 1-2 am then only let my eyes rest. The other days were almost the same. But sometimes I will have to go out to my aunt's shop to help around if they ned help of course...lol
