Malaysia Day
Today is Malaysia Day and its the first ever time in history we are holidaying for the sake of it. Suddenly I felt threatened by the existence of the date. My Merdeka Day memories are at the brink of being rewritten and the pride of Merdeka girl is at stake.
Yesterday I finished buying necessary equipments for the Science project, and also photostating worksheets for the kids, and also paying the credit card debt. The dancing group progress is slow, since UPSR is happening next week the kids have little or no mood to train. I on the other hand is worried about their costumes.
Anyway I ran away from home temporarily. After everything I got home, bathed groomed packed and went to Baby's place for a stay over. We had Chapathi for dinner, and I'd say that was the finest curry I've ever had. At night we went for a Mamak with his friends, then having a good night sleep at early 11pm.
The next day I woke up at 11 (shamelessly) only to find all the family members have awaken and had sweet potatos for breakfast. Lunch was porridge with Gingko. Then in the scorching hot afternoon we went to Klang to buy a Fitover shades, which is so cool its love at first sight. Then it was a stroll at JJ Bukit Raja, asam laksa at eng ann, and back home for a snooze.
After dinner Baby's mom prompted us to visit some cute puppies at the neighbours. I saw 6 puppies which are absolutely adorable, scurrying around yelping joyfully at strangers, one I even held in the arms, OMG so fluffy and warm. Gosh I wished I had time and energy to rare one.
Later we had a second helping at a malay neighbour's house, eating tomato rice, curry chicken and prawns. It was the first time I felt wholesome as a Malaysian citizen. A great lesson for me to start being less discrminating and afraid of other cultures.
Around 9pm I head home for tomorrow's battle. I will be facing a Pencerapan with GPK at second period, a meeting with Guru Pengawas from other schools, and a period with kids bringing their fishes, and lastly standard 5 BM at center. Fingers crossed I'll nab it all good.
