Haflah Rehearsal

Sorry I ddn't post anything yesterday. I wanted to, but I had no time. Btw,today I just had the Haflah rehearsal. And..... I got to know what awards I got! But.... I forgot. Hee X3

Anyway, as I said earlier, I had the Haflah rehearsal. There were some of my classmates too, like my BFF Zakirah, Nabilah, Dini, Sukainah and even Hakam. He iss the only boy from my class that was invited to the Haflah :D :D :D but there were some other P5 boys too. -.-

I arrived at school at about 7.50 am. I decided to have breakfast at school, but all the food stalls in the canteen was closed. To make it worse, the only money that I had was a 2-dollar note and a 20-cent and 10-cent coin(that makes 30 cents). Since the fruit machine(the only machine that could accept notes TT.TT) was out of order,the other vending machines can only accept coins, and obviously NONE of the drinks cost 30 cents, I couldn't buy anything. I starved >< and to top it all off, my friends weren't even there yet!

Okay, I had to admit, that was a terrible morning to start with. But then... at 8.15 am, Nabilah arrived! I was like, YAY! Finally I have a trusty companion xD and 5 minutes later, Dini arrived! I was even happier. 2 trusty companions are quite a great deal, y'know!

We didn't know what to do, so we decided to go to the canteen. At the canteen, we saw the Al-Irsyad Satya(the Irsyad's Bandung division)students(secondary) and some of the Sec 3 students from our school eating together. They got free food and drinks :( and we didn't. So we(okay except Nabilah, coz she already had breakfast at McD before coming to school) had to starve. At least I had a banana before coming to school ><

At about 8.45am, Zakirah arrived. She said that she had been looking for us since like, half and hour ago. We quickly went to the auditorium for the rehearsal, since it was already 9 am.

At the auditorium, our seating arrangements were arranged according to the sequence that we were going to come up on stage. I had to sit in between Sukainah(yay!) and a P4 SL boy (><). Zakirah sat on the other side of Sukainah, so we still got to talk to each other. Okay, we talked to each other like, most of the time. xD

Then, the rehearsal started. It started off with the emcee's speeches or whatever blah blah blah, then there was the principal and guest-of-honour speech. We were lucky that both those people weren't there, coz if they were, we would have to listen to their "inspiring" speech -.- Anyway, after the speeches were over, there was the Qur'an recitation by the 2 boys, Darwish and Danniesh, which almost made me sleep xD not only me okay! And no offense xD xD

After that was the Sec 4 girls' choral reading. Okay, I guess. and then it was.... the moment that all of us had been waiting for!! *Drumroll* The.. Primary Students' Prize Giving Ceremony! :D We had to line up in order on the stairs, and come up to the stage when our names were called. When it was my turn, I felt soo awkward and nervous. But I got over it quite soon, though.

And.. the Primary Students' Prize Giving Ceremony was over, then there was a performance, and then there was the Secondary Students' Prize Giving Ceremony.

There was this abang(that means 'elder brother' in english) that got a lot of awards. He got the First in Standard award, First in Class award, Best in Combined Science, Mathematics, Arabic, Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. There were so many that I couldn't even remember! And by saying 'so many', I seriously mean it. There were sooooooo many awards that almost everyone were like, 'Wooow!' and the text were so small coz all of them couldn't fit if it were bigger. Plus, he got highest in STE!

Then there was the Khalifah Fil-Ard award, which was awarded to 2 graduating students, Kakak(or 'elder sister' in english) Raudhatul Jannah and Abang.. something. Heheheh sorry >< I guess I forgot his name. SORRY!

Then.. we had a break, and after the break the rehearsal started again. It was pretty much the same, though - so I don't have to write about it :3 and we finished at 12.15 pm.

After the rehearsal, I went downstairs and waited for my parents. My parents arrived at 1 pm, and took me to my mom's friend's house to drop something and then my dad dropped me , my mom and my brother at the Bedok Public Library.

At the library, I borrowed 2 Asterix comics, a Manga Shoujo guidebook and an Amber Brown book by Paula Danziger. After that, we went home.

P.S. I know the middle-to-last part of this story was kinda boring >< I was too lazy to write it properly X3 hee!

Be right back!
