Back to School

Well, this loudspeaker is about to sound once more across Malaysia when school starts NEXT Monday! Yes, to the groaning & moaning of many kids across Malaysia - holiday is FINALLY over!


Yes, all these doors & windows to classroom will be opened soon and once more the hallways of schools all over Malaysia will be echoing with the "sounds of learning"...


It has been a while since I last stepped into a Secondary School...


Though this one isn't my old Secondary School, but the environment is still familiar. O boy, so much good & wonderful memories... ya, especially the school canteen... yes, I can already imagine all the chaos & screaming comes Monday... :)


Yes, today is school registration day for my son who will be a Form 1 student this year! O how time flies!


Err...no...that's not HOW Malaysian High School is like...


Nope...no...neither does it resemble any of THAT! Thank God!


Ours are waaaaaay better! ;)


Before registration, parents gotta check out WHICH classroom are the kids been assigned to. This could be a very STRESSFUL moment for some parents. You see, in Malaysia, classrooms are usually ranked by "grades". Let me give you some examples:


Typical class "A" student...


Typical class "F" students...

So you can see why the STRESS...



After that, all parents need to quickly report "duty" at different stations to submit all the relevant forms & pay the required fees...


It was good to know some of my son's old classmates will be classmates once more!


Until then...the kids still have one more weekend to ENJOY!
