today is a big day. even bigger than my birthday. its the outstanding award day (prize/certificate giving day) of my former high school! finally, i got a chance to meet my school friends, seniors and teachers!
what's more that make us proud when it has been launched by ms mabel s muttiah, a sessions court judge in kuala pilah, negeri sembilan; whose also a former student of the school (1978--1982). its good also since "only officers from the education ministry are allowed to officiate at school functions to prevent such functions from being politicised". go here to read more about this. besides that, the school can invite more of their old girls in the future as there are quite a number of them who have succeed in their career. alas... we had a guest of honor who was very punctual, whereby previously we have to wait for quite some time for the datuks or datins to arrive. do correct me if i am wrong.
the function was scheduled to be started at 9 am. but since mabel reached the school at 8.45 am, it started right away. she was very good in her well prepared speech. she even told everyone some of her fond memories of her beloved school. surprisingly or not, she also called her sains rumah tangga (home science) [now ekonomi rumah tangga (household economics)] teacher puan ramlah, who is still teaching at the school-- "mana puan ramlah? puan ramlah, where are you? i know that you are somewhere in the hall".
fyi puan ramlah taught me too! ;)mabel will be coming down to her hometown again on 10 may 2008 for our OGA' committe member meeting. can you all imagine that people-- although she's busy with her high class career, but she still know her responsibilities. i do not think that its easy for some people. do you know that, before mabel became of what she is now, she used to work in supermarkets, gas stations, also as a minah dispatch, to accomodate part of her university studies expenses in england back then. so basically like the usual sayings-- "achievements started from the bottom line".
actually i was down with a slight fever and toncilitis since yesterday evening. i didn't have the energy to do anything so i went to bed very early last nite. and this morning megat was very surprised when i told him that i was going to the school's function-- "i thought that you are not feeling well ma. ohhh... i know... you still wanna go because you love your school?". tau tak pe... hehe...
so as usual i had my oatmeal for breakfast, after i send megat (only, cuz puteri didn't have to go to school);
then got myself prepared for the function. i reached there by 8.25 am. when i was about to go home, an auntie whose also teaching there, told me that many of them said that i looked 'vogue' today. eh... i was not feeling well ler... you could see it yourself from my appearance. i also forgot to wear my earings! wargghhh!!!!... i was even kept myself quiet mostly... hah! tak pe ler... vogue pun vogue ler lol...o yea... wish me for a speedy recovery ya... i hate getting sick. the last time i got sick was like few years ago!
coming soon... history of my school!
