Holiday De-cluttering

Just came back after a 5-day break in peaceful Taiping. Back to reality. Clothes not washed, dirty floor, cluttered tables and disorganized room....So, decided to attack each task first thing in the morning. Could not sleep thinking about all the work waiting for me. So, I put the clothes into the machine and while it chugged its way along, I re-organized my bathroom and room. Decided to change my bathroom shelf with my room shelf to make way for my handbags and other stuffs. Took the opportunity to throw some things and rearrange the stuff into containers. Then, came down to attack my table and sort out all the papers and files...Took nearly an hour to gather all my pens and stationery into one spot...Am surprised to find that I have so many red pens and I am still buying them..sigh..and I wonder whatever happened to the pen covers. I bet the floor swallowed them up each time it falls because i cannot recall sweeping away any. By this time, I realised it was almost noon and I haven't even taken a bite of real food except for a biscuit and coffee. Broke for lunch and my bones are screaming.....after five days of gardening and walking about, i am paying for it.

State Drama Competition 2009

Congrats to DZ for representing Batang Padang in the state drama competition. I just want to say that I am very proud of them. It was not an easy climb. When we won the district, it was really difficult to raise the game. PPD wanted us to improve our act, make it longer and etc but we were short of money. Luckily, our principal gladly approved some funds for us and we managed to make some more props. Then, some members wanted to quit as many teachers had scolded them for taking part. I told them that the teachers mean well as they were worried about their studies too. I had not wanted to take the exam classes as the actors but I had no choice as 4 Zuhrah was involved in science and maths fair as well as carnival. We also could not practice during school hours. Everything was done after school....So, I really salute the students and Mr Edmund for hanging in there even though we had so much self doubts...And to Jabar, who had to walk a few kilometres back home to Kg Balun, I salute thee
I must say that DZ rose to the occasion. Everyone did well even though there were many obstacles. Just before we went up stage, the computer would not start and the background could not be hung...i just whispered a prayer and voila...everything went on as we wanted...the computer started and we had our background , no one forgot their lines, timing was fantastic...the judges said that everyone spoke very well and they were very surprised...kampung school ma....
So, if anyone asked me whether it was worth it, I would say a thousand times, yes...cos if we did not try, we would never have known that we are right up there and we should have more self-believe. We always feel inferior when compared to Kinta and LMS but this time, we were right there as well....So, when I was told that we were the top four schools selected for consideration, I was ecstatic and I felt like crying.....for joy...
Never ever let anyone tell us that we are not good enough, people....DZ boleh!!!!!
