Freakin' adorable, to say the least.

Books aside, Hello there, Weekend!

When was the last time I blogged? This week's been eventful! I don't know where to start. I'll try make it short.

Nothing much happened on Monday and Tuesday, on both days after recess, we were busy practising our script in the hall for the much anticipated competition the next day;

HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY, AHMAD KAMIL!

Truth be told, I really didn't know what to expect of Catholic High. Never once have I passed the school, so I assumed it was some remote school hidden somewhere behind buildings. I was partially right. It's placed behind two blocks of shoplots, but it's not what I'd call remote. Er, student population of more than 3000? And many on the waiting list? Remote, my ass :( The school is simply huge. It has three halls (that I know of), and I'm not surprised if all three are equipped with air-conditioners as the hall we used for the competition was, to my delight, air-conditioned. I'm not sure how to describe the hall, but it's pure amazing (and big!). They've got four curtains on the stage, in two shades of blue and another two in different shades of red. The field is big, and their bookshop resembles an actual bookshop, if you know what I mean. It's located right beside the canteen, my oh my, do you really want me to get started on that? It deserves a paragraph of its own.

First off, the canteen food. They have a wide variety of choices ranging from snacks to tummy-filling meals - safe to say, all priced below RM2. I can't help but compare their selling price there and at Sri Aman. Wait, here's something from Angela's blog :

"They sell many types of finger food like sausages, nuggets, fish balls, fried crab sticks and many more for RM 1 per stick. Our canteen sells those too, but the food is colder, smaller and shorter. Our school sells 5 halved fish balls for 1 buck. They sell way more for the same price. And then, the popcorn chicken. One cup roughly the size of the cup they use to serve fries in our school of WARM and appetising popcorn chicken costs 1 buck. We pay 1 buck for a bunch of COLD, wilted fries. As for the sandwiches, I admit to paying 40 cents for one slice of buttered bread with a piece of cabbage in between served in metal trays. Oh, imagine how elated I was to find 2 slices of bread with sardine on one of them and scrambled eggs on the other! I felt so stupid for supporting my canteen food at that point.

Finally... DRINKS.

They sell fresh juice. We sell 250 ML bottles of juice for RM 1.80. They sell unopened 600 ML bottles of root beer for RM 1.90. We pay RM 1.20 for a cup of diluted root beer of the same brand. They sell packet drinks at RM 1. Our canteen sells them at 50 cents higher."

Yes, I know, I can't come up with my own version of price comparison :D Here's the link to the full post by Angela Chong Wan Zhen :) She's good with words, eh?

The food and drinks sold at Catholic High are so reasonably priced; I guess it has something to do with the amount of students studying there. They probably get more than RM3000 profit per day, no? Just assuming as I think it's crazy for one to not spend money there. I bought potato wedges and chicken popcorn for RM1. They were hot, too. Two slices of sandwiches for the same price. I spent RM2 at Catholic High 8) Yummy. Oh, need I mention the fact that we took up quite a lot of Ksherah's camera memory and battery to camwhore endlessly throughout the whole day? Girls.

Oh, right. However, the main purpose I was at Catholic High was not to survey the school or the canteen food. The choral speaking performances? Hm. La Salle, Taman Sea, Catholic High. 3rd, 2nd, 1st place respectively.

SMK (L) La Salle was good, they talked about language. English vs. Manglish and yes, their jokes really were funny. Even their entrance was unique and good. Their conductor was given the title as Best Conductor - his tight pants probably did the trick.

SMK Taman Sea's composition was very, and when I mean very, I do mean VERY similar to ours. Even their greeting and ours were nearly the same. Sigh.

Catholic High. No comment :( Their sound effects were magnificent and they were so loud (God knows how many times they rehearsed in that hall) and clear. They talked about war. Yeap, war. Smart, man, their choice of title.

There are other performances that I vaguely remember, just not so sure of the school. I swear to you, we weren't that bad okay. We were loud. Bah.

What an angel.

HAHAHAHAHAH

I GOT MY JAPANESE RESULTS AND I DIDN'T FAIL!

You have no idea how happy I am. I actually got an A! It's a really low A, like, 80% -.-

As pathetic as this may sound, yes, getting my Japanese results really did make my day!

I completed all my homework that was due today! *Applause,
Gotong-royong was actually really fun, to say the least. Left Bilik Jahitan A "sparkling clean", as promised ;) Sang old songs with Aqila, Karyna, Pik Leng, Angela, Aqilah, Seri and Jo Ee. They're cool ♥

Seven colours of the rainbow, just for kicks. Never knew how to differentiate indigo and purple.

Went to the PRS room half an hour before school ended, cleaning window panes with Aqila. Laughed about all the motivational posters on every wall,

"Di mana ada kemahuan, di situ ada A One!"

Smart. PRS meeting was alright, I left early for a little bit of Blue House training. I GOT MY FIRST LETTER FROM MY GA! You have no idea how happy I am :')

Had handball today too, the weather was so hot. So, so, so hot. Was tiring. I got in the team! Yay. Anyways, Mommy's meeting ended later than it was supposed to, she fetched me at around 6pm. While waiting, was talking to Izzy, Shiro and Iqffa outside school!

"You tau, dia ajak I main rugby!"

Hehe :D Ooh, and I'm starting to like cats again. Munchkins, winks.

So many things make me mad nowadays.
