Let me share with you some stuff about my school. :) Firstly, THE TEACHERS ARE GREAT! :D Seriously, NO LAZY ONES! So awesome! I was so happy when I first realised that the teachers ACTUALLY guide their students and not SIT at their tables to make their chairs hot. I'm not saying in my old school there are NO hardworking ones; there is, but very few. They just want to finish their syllabus as quick as possible so that they have more time to sit down and relax.
And I'm not in the science stream in my school. Okay, fine, I am, but we don't go by S1 and S2 or something. We just go by names - not alphabetical. If you're on the KBSM stream, the classes are 4 Alpha, 4 Beta, 4 Delta and so on (cannot remember anymore :P). If you're on the IGCSE stream like I am, the classes are 10 Sigma (first! :D), 10 Theta and 10 Kappa. Yes, there are only three IGCSE classes. :) I'm in 10 Sigma. Subjects I'm taking for O-Levels are English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Add Maths, Business Studies and Accounting. Two additional subjects which are not included are Malaysian Studies (a combination of History and Moral) and PE. And the only subject I'm taking for SPM is BM. WTH, right? If I get an A+ for it, it seems like I've only gotten an A+ in SPM while others are getting 17A+'s and stuff. Pffft.
So, the school rules. SO. VERY. LONGGAR. -_- They don't need to pin up their fringe, just make sure their fringe is not covering their eyes; can use any type of hair accessories as long as they're in shades of blue, black and white. AWESOME, RIGHT? :D And their SOCKS, walao. We have to wear school socks, but they don't care if your socks is over your ankle or not; you just have to WEAR it. LOL. They're prefects, right, judging from this week, I think they only have to go for duty during assemblies only. SO RELAX! :O
Speaking about assemblies, we don't sit according to our classes. We sit according to our forms. So, the youngest (Form 1) is in the front and the oldest (Form 5) behind. And the Form 5s have the chance to sit on chairs - those auditorium ones - 'cause they're the oldest in our school (don't include the teachers lah). Okay, so on Monday I went for assembly, there's this girl behind me who stretched her leg so long that she keeps kicking my butt. I turned around to look at her and she looked back at me stupidly. YES, STUPIDLY. I think she doesn't have a brain that's why she can't think. And zero manners. *rolls eyes* I hope not all Sri KL students are like that. Screw her.
The funny thing is, we have to write policies/rules and regulations at the back of our exercise books. Like, "1. Do not use correction tape/liquid paper." or "7. Draw margins on every page of work." and even "12. Respect yourself and others." LOL. I think it's really lame (and a total waste of time and energy and money and trees) but the teachers say they want us to write that down so that no students will ask them anything because everything is already there. Quite smart also lah. :]
And the way their teachers teach is so... kindergarten-ish. Nothing like the teachers in Kwang Hua teach - a world of difference. o_o Here, the teachers don't say, "Take out your textbooks and turn to page..." They say, "Take out a piece of paper. We are going to do an activity." What I'm trying to say is, we do a lot of practical work here and less writing. I might even say some of the "activities" are irrelevant to the subject. For example, our Chemistry told us to write down the words mouse, tree, laugh, rain and train, and then form a sentence out of it. I was like, "For what?" She did explain in the end lah but I still think it's nonsense. LOL.
Oh, yes! Our uniforms! Gone were the days of wearing white shirts and blue pinafores... *sniffs* Our uniforms are kinda... special. On Mondays, we (girls) wear a white shirt (like normal ones) with a tie and a dark grey skirt. The rest of the week, we wear a white (some are yellow; mine's white) polo-looking tee with thin black stripes and the dark grey skirt. Oh, and black shoes with black Sri KL socks for everyday. I know it's weird; it doesn't even look like a uniform! When I go to the A1 tution centre and walk into the class, everyone will look at my uniform. LOL. Fei Ya didn't even realise I was wearing a UNIFORM. She thought I had become so sporty and was wearing a polo tee. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
The air-cond in my classroom is really super duper cold. My lips cracked and my skin is so dry. Zero humidity in there, I tell ya. We can bring our jackets/sweaters to school but because I forgot to bring it to school, I had high fever. Great start. -_- And from Monday to Thursday, we have to sit in that class until 3.40pm (school ends). Mondays aren't so bad as we are wearing the white shirts and all; Fridays aren't so bad, too as we leave school earlier (12.50pm); the rest of the days are murder. D: I heard that our headmaster is going to sell school jackets (maybe blazers?) to students of Sri KL 'cause of the chilly atmosphere in the classroom. SO COOL! :D
Ah, the food. We have two recesses! :D :D :D We don't need to pay the food as we already did (included in the school fees); we just have to take a tray and line up. BTW, the food from the first recess (tea) is really... unappealing. My brother says the food "no hope already". LOL. The second recess is longer 'cause it's lunch. I will not say the food is awesome but it is definitely better than the food from the first recess. And the students from every form have recess together 'cause you know why? The school only has 1200+ students (and the headmaster is so proud of it until he announced it during assembly?). D: Compared to Kwang Hua, that's like a tenth (or maybe not) of the students there! So few!
Now, my class. The people are okay lah, quite friendly but just a few. There's this girl I particularly dislike 'cause when I speak to her, she doesn't answer. And when she actually answers, she doesn't have any eye contact with you. She's the rudest person I've ever met. Irritates me A LOT. And her attitude is just plain snobbish and very spoilt. I don't think I'll ever get close to her; such a weird person. A real despo (I hope you know what I mean by that). And in every class, there's always an Ong Kah Shin and a Chong Eu Meng. :P The girl sitting beside me is another Ong Kah Shin. She's also a new student and she was previously in Chung Hwa Independent High School. She took the UEC exams and the PMR exams and for both she had straight A's. I was like, WHOA. And she's in her school volleyball team. DOUBLE WHOA. An all-rounder. o_o
The Chong Eu Meng of my class is very funny. Our English teacher told us to introduce ourselves and use one word to describe ourselves. So, he said, "My name is something something something and the word that describes me is not a word; it's an acronym." We were like, ohh-kayy. "And that acronym is DSLR." We blinked at each other and the teacher said, "Well." LOL, awkward moment, man. That Chong Eu Meng really loves photography. When our class teacher asked us, "What theme do you want for our class?" and he said, "Can we have it as photography, please please please?" *speechless* Even in Facebook, his name was set as Canon Nikon Chua. LMAO, even more of a photography freak than I am.
Anyway, my class has a German (I'm not sure whether it's true or not as he looks Chinese), an Indonesian, an Indian (very sweet girl :3) and a Malay; the rest are Chinese. I have no friends yet but I hope I'll have some eventually. There are some of them which I already know (they're from my primary school) and when they first saw me, their eyes were like THIS big. *shows a big 'O' sign using the thumb and the index finger* Yes, THIS big! O_O Like an owl's. ;) HAHAHAHAHA, so funny. Well, at least I have Yvonne in my class. :)
Oh, and our exam system (only for the IGCSE stream students) is sorta... different. We don't have monthly test and stuff. Our monthly test is the daily work teacher gives us and some random pop quiz, which means we have to DO our homework and hand them in ON TIME or else marks will be deducted. I mean, REAL marks. Not play-play ones. o_o SO HARD! HOW ARE WE GOING TO SCORE? :( FYI, I've just taken my first test yesterday. English, forty marks. It's just the first week of school and we have our first TEST. And we were informed about the test just TWO days before it took place. What the crap, man. -_-
So, I think that's about it. I actually have more to tell but I couldn't possibly type them all out here. I miss all of my friends so much. :( Every night, I dream that I'm still studying in Kwang Hua. Put on my blue and white uniform, having classes in 4S2, laughing out loud like nobody's business... And when I wake up, it'll dawn on me that it's just a dream. In reality, I'll never wear a blue pinafore to school again, never going to sit at my seat in 4S2, never going to laugh with friends when we go to the canteen... I feel so lifeless. :( I think I'm going to cry. Someone please HUG me.
I MISS ALL OF YOU!!! x'(
Well, if I can't change the fact that I'm already there, I'll just have to accept it. Don't worry, I'll creep in to Kwang Hua once in a while, so expect me, alright? :P Oh, and here's a glimpse of being in Sri KL.
Uniform worn on Mondays.
My school badge (that doesn't look like a school badge :P).
Uniform worn for the rest of the week.
School socks which are cooler than Kwang Hua ones. >:P
PE tee and shorts. Yes, I'm in the Blue team. Go Blue! :D
School badge on the PE shorts.
School exercise book. What was I thinking to choose an Add Maths book for a picture? ==I shall post up more pictures next time. BTW, don't call my house/send me anything; I've shifted. :] So, basically, you can't contact me anymore. HAHAHAHAHA, bye bye world!
