Fifty-Eight
Went to the new madrasah today. Mona had to buy her books for next year. Everyone tagged along, 'cept for Aba, who had to go to work.
It's the first time I've seen the new madrasah. It's verrry high but verrry slim, which was quite surprising. It kinda blended in with all the other buildings around it. If the words "Al-Maarif Institution hadn't been written on the gate, and if Lily hadn't pointed it out, I would have never noticed it.
Unfortunately, we couldn't go up the steps and beyond. In fact, for some strange reason, the book sale was held in the carpark. Yeah, the carpark (staff only) was pretty big. Since my mum didn't need any help choosing the books, the rest of us took of.
Stuff I found out* The toilet is biig compared to our old one. There's a tempat air-wuduk inside, and nice sinks, and plenty of cubicles. Unfortunately, it was kinda dirty, but I guess I'm used to it already. I mean, it
is a toilet.
* The playground, or rather, the "Maarif Institution's Fitness Course" (I think that's what was written), consists of two monkey bars, two sit-up benches, and two pull-up-thingies.
* Water cooler masih ade! Sejuk!
* Cik Milah and gang pon masih ade! Which means there will be still be Mee Bakso and spagetti!
* Apparently, our salats will be held in the carpark (??)
* No cats. Poor cats.
Went to Shing Shiong after that. Or is it Seng Shiong? Shing Shong? Sing Song?
There was this mechanical, dancing Santa inside, shaking his butt and fake-playing the trumpet. You should have seen him! It was quite a struggle for me to not shake along with me, but luckily my sisters were there to hold me down while one of the workmen switched the Santa off.
Then went to Cik Sarimah's house to pick up some books for me next year. Unfortunately (quite a lot of unfortunatlies), the book were hand-me-downs. It wouldn't have been too bad, if the books hadn't had the words 'Siti Nur Hannah Hardy' written on the cover. Apparently Kk Han gave her books to her friend, and her friend never took the name stickers on. :P
Ellen's on!
