Seventy-who-knows-how-many
I'm in the school lab right now.
It's the school's fun fair today.
And at the moment, I'm having a blast.
I better talk about it now while everything's still fresh in my head.
I arrived at around 1130 with my 'rents, Mona and Nina. The sight that greeted us was amazing. The place was teeming with people at first sight; but upon entering the canteen/carpark area I saw that there a whole lotta more people in there. Only 1130, and the place was beggining to be swarming with people! There were mostly food stalls down there, but further down the back there were also stalls selling clothes and offering games for kids (I saw an adult playing that candle game too, haw-haw, so cute).
First I met up with Su and Fathin and Mardhiah and Syuhada (who gave me a surprise half-hug, I don't know what you call it). Then I went off, naturally, to the Western food stall. Yum!
With Mona and Nina at my side, I scanned the table. So many choices! Soup, foldover or the shephard pie?? I took my time deciding which food to buy - which turned out to be a big mistake.
POP! A teacher appeared beside me out of nowhere.
POP! A cameraman appeared right beside her.
Right then and then I decided to leave immeadiately. Danger is always, ALWAYS afoot when a teacher and a camerman simultaneously pops right beside you. I know. I've had experience.
Just as I was aboutto grab Diabolical Duo (Mona and Nina, not the teacher and the cameraman), the T stopped me.
"Come here!" she beckons. Uh-oh. Picture time.
I did my best to escape, but to no avail. I was trapped the moment she beckoned for me, and the only way to escape was to take the picture with here.
Harhar.
I had to pose with the T and pretend that I was scrounging around for food in the greatest interest, which wouldn't be a problem if not that cameraman was there.
Then the picture was taken, and the deal was done.
As soon as she had her back turned to me, I grabbed the DD and ran.
After that, the three of us went up to the 5th storey where the exhibitions were held. There I bumped into Mus, Hud and Zahira ("We pasted the pictures," they said; I'm very proud of them). We (me Mona and Nina, not me Mus Huda and Zahira) went to all the exhibitions, which were cool.
(Later on we found out that you could only go up to level 5 and into some of the exhibitons in a group of 10 people, but what the heck)
Went back down, bought stuff, saw stuff, saw people, met up with people. Halfway through, Mona lost her Hello Kitty purse, and we had to go all over the school again to look for it. In the end, we found it at the Dedication Area, where some kind old soul had deposited it (thank you, kind old soul). The whole looking-for-her-purse thing was too much of a drama for Mona and she burst into tears in the middle of the search. Poor kid. Lucky for her, she has a great sister (alright, alright, there's no need to roll your eyes! I'm just kidding).
After thaaaaat,
more touring...
more going up and down...
more buying stuff (coughfoodcough)...
I also hung out for a while with my younger cousin, who's Sabrina's age (that's Primary 5). He's a really
cool kid - seriously. One look at him and ou think, "
cool". My dad sent him off to that motorcycle ride thing. Initially, Sabrina wanted to go on that ride, but unfortunately, she was born the wrong gender, so she couldn't go.
My cousin was real thrilled about the ride, although he tried to act
cool about it (I swear, when he got off that bike, he was all slack-faced with his arms crossed, with that"yeah I think that was bloody brilliant, but I'm too
cool to say it" look. Majorly
cool. And hugely hilarious)
Now I'm back up here. I've met up with lots of neat people, so it's been a blast so far. I'm staying ehre till around 5 because
some dork my sister wants me to wait for her, but I'm ok with that. I mean, as long as I'm able to stay here, I should be okay.
Cool.
