Sports Day

Held at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

Today wasn't much better than Thursday.

In fact, it was a lot worse.

I'm just way too tired to explain everything, so I'll just give the highlights.

Opening Ceremony

In order of appearance:

Kadet Polis

PBSM

Band

Aidan

Adele

Xavier

Pauline

Puteri Islam

Pandu Puteri

KRS

All was going well for us. The tabit hormat was so nice. We actually had a chance to win it this year. But then again, I've never really been so lucky in competitions.

Pn Ann and the VVIP's speeches were so freaking long.

When we had to sing the school song, the most shocking thing happened.

Our commander fainted right in front of us.

It took all I had to not run or burst out in tears right there and then.

We knew all chances of winning had flown out the window when she fell.

Of course, we panicked. Who wouldn't? We kinda lost focus and got a bit disoriented. Lost marks there too. Probably.

After exiting the view of others in ramp 5, almost half of us started crying. We were so close. So close. 

But of course, we couldn't do anything about it. No one can really blame her for fainting. It's not her fault. We could never hate her for this. Well, at least I can't.

After the opening ceremony

We all tried to perk up for her sake. I  prefer not to say her name, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out who my commander is. Then we watched cheer together. And cheered for Kak Fathi in the acara balapan. =)

Sukantara for unit beruniforms was good. KRS got first place for that one.

Then, litter duty. >=(

That's not fair. All the unit beruniforms were supposed to help pick up trash in the stadium. Since the people here don't know how to walk to the trash can all along the staircases. Sriously, every staircase had at least 2 trash cans, and people still don't make an effort to throw away their trash.

In reality, only KRS marchers were the one who picked up the trash. Everyone else? They did absolutely nothing. It was so disgusting. And tiring. We were wearing the full uniform the whole time. As if our baju is cooling to wear. YEAH RIGHT.

Closing Ceremony

The results (for first place only)

House marching: Xavier

Placard holders: Xavier

Cheer: Xavier

Overall: Pauline.

I know what you're thinking. How is that possible? Xavier kinda sucked for the sukantara and the track and field competitions.

That's basically it. I'm too tired to continue with what happened after the Sports Day was over.

***Goodnight...***

Disaster

Sport's Day Rehearsal.

Need I say more?

I hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it.

So pressuring, so depressing, so frustrating, so tiring.

We didn't kawad right.

We didn't follow the tempo. Completely berterabur.

I don't blame Kak Hanis for merajuk-ing with us. I really don't.

But it still hurt to see her so sad. I feel really guilty.

I felt like crying when she spoke to me. The way her voice sounded was so...

I don't know what to do anymore.

On the plus side, I found out that you should never eat with Kak Nura around. =P

Okay, maybe that's not actually a plus, but its something that's not so depressing.

Know why?

She eats fast, so basically she'll just talk and make jokes while waiting for you to finish.

Because of that, I choked on my food about 3 times.

Never in my life have I taken an hour to finish a burger. But I still had fun.

I was light-headed from laughing so much. =D

Laughing all the way. =)

Well, Kak Hanis had us assemble at the pohon kemboja (since I have no idea how to spell it in English). She said that Sarah wanted to tell us something or other. But no, turns out she didn't. So all the people who had to pay for stuff paid, and some people got their stuff already. That's the sort of boring part.

After the juniors left, Kak Hanis wanted to see the seniors. Then we started talking about how all the other unit beruniforms start their practice earlier. 

PBSM started theirs at 12. 

KP starts theirs at 11 tomorrow. 

Worse still, PUTERI ISLAM is going to start their practice at 10.30! 

And we can't go out earlier because the teacher doesn't want to keluarkan another surat. >=(

How unfair is that?!?!?!

So, we all tried to serbu teacher at her desk. That was hilarious. Kak Nura wanted to join us, since she didn't have anything else to do.

We broke up into 2 groups, and went in from the two exits there were in the staff room. It felt like a special ops mission or something. We seriously couldn't stop laughing. =D

But in the end, teacher still wouldn't give in...so we gave up. Most of them went home, I stayed on with Erniza, Kak Hanis, Kak Wanie and Kak Nura.

Kak Hanis wanted us to teman her to go tempah the name tags and buy the KRS stuff. We didn't want to go home just yet, so we agreed la. But before we left, Kak Hanis and Kak Nura wanted to practice keluarkan suara first. Kak Nura's voice was easily heard form far away. That, I'm so surprised. But Kak Hanis's voice was less audible, but it was okay la. Just a bit serak. Not like her normal voice.

Because it was going to rain soon, in fact it was already, slightly, we were off to Campbell. We got on the bus and got off at Sogo. Then we tempah the name tags first.I don't know why, but we were so jakun there. There were so many things to drool and wonder over. It was sort of essential that me and Erniza followed anyway, because it's probably going to be our jobs to do this next year. =/

After that we went to Campbell. There also we were so jakun. But the jakun-ness only applies to me and Erniza la. The seniors weren't jakun at all. Well, except Kak Nura at the name tag place, of course. =) That was both embarrassing and funny.

Then we parted there, because Kak Hanis has to wait till 6 to get the name tags. at that time it was only 4.10. No way was I waiting that long. So I walked in the opposite direction with Erniza and Kak Nura. We walked, and talked about stupid stuff, and laughed uncontrollably. Oh yes, good times, good times.

On the train at Bandaraya, they sat on the floor. They say its more comfy than sitting on the seats, though they were completely empty. I didn't follow, mostly because I was getting off after one stop, but also because it was just too embarrassing for me.

All that happened after I got off at Masjid jamek was like my normal routine. Nothing interesting happened.

I had ketam for dinner. =)

Bye.

Stupid stupid stupid STUPID!

I really think I can't cope this year.

I know it's not really much to handle, but it feels like I'm going to explode sometime soon.

Firstly, my homework. Lately I've been getting sick a lot, and I'm not really sure why. I can't come to school, because it's usually viral and I don't want all my precious classmates (pfft!) to get sick. Cause then they'll all blame me.. ='(

So, because I can't come to school, I'm not quite sure what all of my homework is. When I ask, no one gives me complete details. So I get lost. Then I can't do my homework without questioning every time whether I'm doing it right or not. Then it starts to pile up. Lagi la I nak siapkan how? The order of doing it also not right.

Secondly is kawad. If you read my earlier post, I won't have to type it all out again. So, lemme just get to the part I haven't posted.

I have tuition on Tuesday and Thursday. Supposed to be those days la. But kawad is on Tuesday-Thursday. So I decided to take Tuesdays and Fridays for tuition. That way, I only have to leave early on Tuesday.

The problem is, I just tak sampai hati to leave! What more, I have to rush there in less than 20 minutes. You think that's so easy? I might as well run down the hill and end up tripping and rolling down like a ball. =(

So tuition on weekdays is stressing me out a lot. But I need the weekends to finish my piling homework! That, and I need more sleep.

Thirdly, these stupid exams! Plus the Sport's Day. They're all so close together! Seriously, we have no time in between to rest. Why couldn't they be weeks apart instead of days? Wouldn't that be so much easier for everyone? Not just the students, but the teachers and administrators too? Is that really so much to ask for?

Haish. I must look like a dead/depressed/angry zombie by now. I think everyone does. =/

My life kinda sucks, but then again, it doesn't.

My feelings are so mixed up now.

Sometimes I'm unusually happy.

Then I'm depressed for no apparent reason.

Then I'm so super malas all I can do is rest my head somewhere and stare blankly into space.

Then all I wanna do is complain. About absolutely everything.

And I mean everything.

I guess I can pick out why. I feel malas and depressed during certain subjects.

After school I've got kawad practice. Then I'll be both happy and aggravated.

Why I'm happy:

1. I can hang out with my seniors. (Form 5)

2. I am one of the seniors. =D

3. I get to give commands to the juniors.

4. I actually have juniors to call my own. ^.^

5. Just laugh in between the practices. Then try so hard to be all serious in the sad attempt to be 'disciplined' but really tak jadi in the end. So we just laugh. Then kena denda. -.-'"

6. I get to hang out with Erniza, Ain and Najwa (who's actually in KP) at the canteen until 5 something.

Why I'm aggravated:

1. Sports Day is next Saturday, and the squad is completely out of practice.

2. My juniors won't listen to a word I or anyone else says.

3. Maybe they do actually listen, they just don't want to follow it.

4. I have no idea what to do to make them more semangat-ed.

5. For some reason I feel a fraction of the burden Kak Hanis feels for the kawad thing, and that's already a huge burden as it is.

6. There's an ujian kenaikan pangkat for Corporal in March, but I think I might not be able to go.

7. I just hate that we can't extend our practice time just because teacher doesn't want to supervise us for an extra hour or something.

______________________________

Intervensi just passed.

I should be happy about that, right?

I am, kinda. A bit. But guess what.

Another exam is right after our Sports Day next Saturday!

Isn't that just so stupid? We just finished our exam, then we have another one after a week.

Does the school administration want the Form 3 and Form 5 students to crack under a whole lot of pressure and stress?!

And so early in the year too.

Don't be mad at me if I'm overly complaining about this. It's my blog, my opinions. So shut up.

I actually have a bunch of stuff to vent out about, but I'm just not in the mood. That, and I'm too tired and sleepy to make sentences that make sense right now.

Sick. AGAIN.

I have no idea who to blame for getting me sick again. I was sick just 2-3 weeks ago. And now I'm sick again. I didn't go to school today, and so I missed sukantara. And guess what? Xavier's last. Though that probably isn't completely my fault. I mean, what was I supposed to do? I couldn't even force myself to get up and eat, though I was almost starving to death.

So you can't blame me for putting my health first before Xavier's standings.

Today I managed to finish studying the form 1 syllabus for history. That's basically it. I haven't started on anything else. Now I have to go. Study, study, study for intervensi next week.

Wish me luck! =)

KongsiRaya Party

Today was so crazy and chaotic, all I could do (besides laugh for no apparent reason) was look at everyone (at least those who got high with carbonated drinks).

Early in the morning, I had to rush. Why? My alarm didn't go off at 5.40. Turns out I accidently set it for 5.40 PM and not AM. And so, I ended up waking up at 6.15, and that's only because Kakak went up to check on me. If not, I wouldn't have woken up in time to catch my bus. And it arrived in front of my house at 6.40. I only had 25 minutes to get ready. I skipped breakfast at home and ate a piece of banana cake at school.

Last night, I stayed up until 12 something baking my brownies for the jamuan. I made two batches, one for the class and one for my family. One was hangus. I kept that one at home. It's not presentable enough for my teachers, am I right? Anyway, the hangus one tasted good, too. A bit bitter, but crunchy. Not so sweet. Ideal for my parents' taste in desserts.

I so bersungguh-sungguh to bring my books, but then, we didn't learn anything at all today. Not that I don't appreciate Pn. Nancy giving us an extension for the party, but couldn't she make up her mind yesterday? What a waste of energy.

So we started getting ready at 9.30. Susun-ing desks and chairs, putting food on the main desks. Everyone started to take their plates, forks, spoons and cups. But then, half of our forks and spoons were missing! So Jasmin and Raveenaa went to the canteen to buy some for the rest of the class.

If we wanted to be polite and courteous, we should have waited for our teachers to come to our class first. Not eat before them. Its just so rude. So, at first, we waited. By 10.30 we were really hungry already, but the teachers were taking forever to reach our class. They had to go to every class's party. That's a total of 26 classes, including the form 6s. Miss Sara eventually reached our class first nearing 11.

By that time, more than half of the class has started eating already. But me, Fiona, Kit May, Nadhra, Alini and Kanimoly didn't eat first. Me and Fiona ate after Miss Sara came, but the rest waited until Pn. Jamilah came before they took a break from layan-ing the other teachers to eat.

Everyone was promoting whatever was home-made. Or whatever was good to eat. The most popular was Dian's muffins. It finished relatively fast. Jasmin's cupcakes and my brownies were popular too. Pn. Masniah was promoting my brownies to the other teachers. =)

One even asked for the recipe. But I'm not sure whether she was just joking or not.

When it was 11.30, a lot of the teachers had gone already, and only a few came in to see what there was left.

Divya's fries were still there. And there was a lot. So a group of us (me, Fiona, Kit May, Nadhra, Divya and Jasmin) took it aside, put a whole lot of chilly sauce on a plate and started eating them. Kit May ate the most. Soon Nadhra left the group to join another one, (one that had had enough of eating) and Fiona, Jasmin and Divya ate a few only. So all that was left was me and Kit May. We finished more than half of the fries. That was seriously a lot of fries. I was so bloated.

Then Jasmin and Kit May drank a lot of drinks. The most popular mixture of the day was F&N Fruitade + Strawberry. Green + red = purple! What a nice new colour formula. It actually tastes good. But I only had one glass of that. They had like, 3-4. Sonia also was like that. Mellissa drank straight from the Coke bottle. Divya... well, I don't know how much she drank, but she was so off during the lion dance. She and Kit May couldn't shut up about the lion's cute shiny ass. That word came up a lot. I'm sick of it already.

Then we had to clean up the class and susun the desks and chairs back. Dian brought her new camera. I played with it a lot. =)

Since she preferred to be in the pictures instead of taking them, I ended being the photographer. I took pictures for a lot of people. It was fun. I wanted to bring one, but it was with my dad.

And so, that was the end of the KongsiRaya party. A lot of people were high and bloated. Thousands of pictures were taken. Tempers flared, laughs were echoing eveywhere and so on. Dah lah, I'm too tired to try to be poetic.

Bye bye!

It was not my day

Well, today pretty much sucked.

First of all, the bag was heavy.

Why?

List of items brought in school bags:

1. 6 English books

2. 5 BM books

3. 3 KH books

4. 2 sejarah books

5. 4 Maths books

6. Baju and seluar pj

7. Boots

8. A whole lot of papers.

Early in the morning already, I wanted to cry. My back hurts now. I can't keep my back straight anymore.

Guess what? Teacher didn't come for English! What a waste of energy for me, carrying all those books up so many stairs. Oh, and before we even got to class, the pintu at the Form 3 block was locked. So Sonia and me walked through the other way. I almost literally fell backwards on the stairs. That shows how heavy my bag was.

The rest of the day was fine, then the bell rang and a lot of people went home...

But not me.

1.30-3.00 : I had kawad practice (forced to join)

3.00-3.30 : I had to rush down the hill and on the train to get to tuition. I was late by 10 minutes.

3.30-5.45 : Tuition. Science today, we learned the human reproduction system. I was dreading this day. I can understand why Mr. Simon would be taking about such obscene things. According to him:

Don't be scared. we are leaning Science. That's all.

Oh yeah. Science was all we were leaning...not.

But it wasn't so bad. Then, it was time for BM. Cikgu Rahim took the opportunity to be super extra perverted today. Sice I didn't have Kit May sitting beside me to talk to, I kept on writing this on my paper: Why, oh why, oh why?! I hate this so much. Why does he have to be so perverted?

and so on.

And the girls behind me were so loud! I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't see since I sat at the back. The consequence of being late for class.

In sejarah, I almost fell asleep about 10 times. I had no one to help keep me awake.

In the end, it was raining when it was time to go home. I brought my umbrella, but I was just too malas to bring it out of my bag. So I just walked in the rain. That was nice. =)

When I reached Setiawangsa, it wasn't raining anymore, and I was happy about that. But my bag was still heavy so i was hoping that Kakteh and Abg Mut would've gotten home already. They weren't. Where were they?

Pavilion.

So I had to walk home. Felt like crying then, too. I talked to myself alot on the way back. I have no idea why. Then I started scolding myself. Intan, stop talking to yourself! People will think you're crazy. Just shut up!

That was what I was thinking the whole way. But for some reason, I couldn't stop talking to myself! Mostly I was just saying how miserable I was at the time. I bought some pisang goreng, too. Felt like eating something. It was an impulse I couldn't control.

Once I got home, I played with Zara, ate the pisang goreng with her, watched Upin and Ipin (I know, that's bizarre.) and finished my KH homework on the dining table. Now I'm here, and my neck can't seem to be able to support my head any longer. I'm gonna go lie down now.

Oh yeah!

Today, I believe, is Izzudin's birthday. So, if you're reading this, Happy Birthday! =D
