school

Finally, after the long break, school started around the 4th of January here in Kuala Terengganu. Now I walk every morning to that building named Chung Hwa Wei Sin (except on rainy days where I desperately try to find any transportation to school – haha). My place is located in “Blok D” (is it Oo??), class 5 Alpha in a corner at the back – far away from the fan -.-! Sometimes a wind breeze comes to visit me - luckily xD.
As I have to take the mid – year – exam (and my German school wants to see the results. ._.) I have to study. Well, “my studying” here is not to be compared with mine in Germany. The other 38 in my class seem to be very concentrated this year…(remembering last year shouting, walking around etc.). Besides the fact that they’ll face their final exam, SPM, in the end of this year, I guess they have “begin of new school year motivation”.

Our school is divided into 4 houses, i.e. every student belongs to a house.
- yellow for RUSA (deer)
- green for GAJAH (elephant)
- blue for SELADANG (wild-ox)
- red for HARIMAU (tiger *miau*)

This reminds me to Hogwarts (Harry Potter)… they even have the same colours xD. We also try to collect points for our houses for instance on the sport day (10th of February).
Another one is the “Joggathon” (endurance run of 4km – jogging xD), which was on Tuesday. Last week we began to practice for that day.

(..Die meisten sprinten davon, bleiben stehen und gehen ein Stueck, um dann wieder loszusprinten xDDD. Ist ganz lustig. Die Kerle fuehlen sich auch nicht wohl, wenn sie ein Maedchen ueberholt und dazu noch ein „orang putih“ bzw. „Mat salet“ (weisser bzw auslaender).. wie auch immer.)

I was the 2nd girl ...*freu* (habe also Punkte fuer Harimau gesammelt :D)! Next day they asked a few students to run for CHWS at KTS (?). So yesterday we gathered at the main gate and took the bus to SMK Bukit Besar. I guess all schools from Kuala Terengganu came to this competition with their best students. Finally, after 7 km, our school was quite good represented: One boy arrived as the 10th in his group (L18...kerle unter 18). The girls in the category P15 get the 2nd place for the group..thus it appears that they were also good individually..can't remember their places. P18, we won the 1st prize for the group ..*happyhappy*.
We all get a place under the 25th. I won 8th prize and another girl the 3rd...she was really good!! The first 15 students of each category are qualified to run for Terengganu. But I can't :(...because I'm not Malaysian.
So I'll keep my fingers crossed for the other ones :).

Next week we have Chinese - New - Year holidays :D...something of a rarity here...haha!! I think I have more holidays than school in M'sia. So tomorrow I'll be following a family to Kuala Lumpur.
...without camera :(. It would take 3 months (!!!) to repare it -.-"...don't have so much time to wait for my camera. So I guess I have to buy a new one or whatsoever.

I'll wish you all nice CNY celebration next week :D.
