C 115, Hostel MPSAH
It was drizzling this morning. Still, I needed to hang my laundry. I hung them in the sink room, behind the washing machine. It kept drizzling till almost 7.30 a.m. So, no assembly! Plus, I had a teeny problem with my tudung.
We headed for our class… I had promised kak Mar to meet her there. She’d called while I was ‘catering’ the headdress. It was a pleasant surprise to see them eating nasi lemak brought by Kyairul. We had put our order on him yesterday… thus, I sort of devoured mine this morning even though I had my breakfast already. It was okay but he brought different ones than yesterday, adding cockles in the sambal.
By 8 a.m. we were on our way to the hall and arranging our stuff for the English Language Teaching Exhibition. Yes, it was done in a small scale but it was colourful with teaching aids from the other courses who are taking English-minor. However, what we didn’t understand was why were there theatre and puppet performances at the same time and the same place of the teaching aids exhibition? It was very much distracting.
Hafiz said he got ticked off by mdm. A for letting the puppet performance going on when there was a theatre starting. Well, our class is not even the coordinator of the programme but we somehow helped in its arrangement. Had to. Our guys were the ushers, so like it or not they had to go around carrying ‘extra loads’ along the way.
Then at 11.30 a.m. we heard that all the Muslims were required to go to the lecture hall as there would be a special talk in conjunction with the coming Ramadhan. Luckily Renu was conscious on that and reminded us when it was time. When we arrived, I would say there were not even a class full of students in the hall… We waited for almost half an hour and then it started and, well, it was worth it.
Fortunately I had watched both the main theatre performances; Oedipus Rex and We Could **** You Mr. Birch two nights before so there was no big deal missing the ‘Mr. Birch’ performance while sitting in the hall. But I must say, what a pity kak Yana didn’t get to watch ‘Mr. Birch’ as her ‘friendly friend’ was acting inside. :p
I told the B.ed Tesl performers that watching the performance was like fulfilling my wish list. I had read the stories during my varsity years but had yet to watch the performance till now. What a feeling! :)
The talk finished around 1.30 p.m. People were worn out and restless. Renu sms me telling McD has not deliver their order. Suddenly Ana offered to go to CS and take away from there. I accompanied her. So we had to let the cat out of the bag for her. We got over budget for the burgers. We ordered 16 McChicken and a Big Mac. We stay put with the order as we only realised about the price, which was different from what Renu and kak Yana have said earlier on the spot there. RM 4.50 McChicken and RM5 the latter. Altogether it was over RM80 plus the tax!? Aiyyooo…I think we need to cancel any party after this…
