Today's a beginning school day for everyone studying in Malaysia. I woke up early, very excited, and went to brush my teeth and bath. Then i changed into my new school clothes and went down to drink my milk. Father was taking some time but i waited patiently. And at last, off we go saying goodbyes to mom, who was in the kitchen preparing her own office lunch. Its was drizzling. We left from house early, so these no jam on the road, hardly any cars around. When dad drove me to school, the school compound was totally pitch black, only a few guard lamps on. I was thinking today is not a school day yet, but dad assured me it is. So off he goes to work, leaving me in the canteen for it was still drizzling and i sat at the canteen bench with few other early arrivers. Out of nowhere, came suddenly a whole big bunch of students arriving and hugging their "long-time-no-see" friends and laughing, some even cried. Then Wei Rhys, a 1E classmate of mine came and asked me to his what class did i went to, and it turned out i was going to be in 2B, the second best class in my school. A few of my other 1E classmates come along and we sat at a old favorite canteen table of ours and chatted while waiting for more of us to arrive. Then we saw many of standard 6 students , who were just were turned into our new form 1 batch were kind of lost, like we were when we came to the school for the first time. Some were even shorter than Rhonwyn! (No offense,Rhon.) And they were cute. Then the bell rang and we went the line up in our own respective new classes. It sure was noisy, just like last year, maybe even every year! And the teachers began to give long speeches, about new students, new teahcers, new classes, and asking the students to keep quiet in between. And we sang our school song, Negaraku and the Rukun Negara. Finally we were sent to our new classes. I sat in the very front, with a prefect named Tan Yin Qin. And we were fast making friends then. Our new teacher gave us some exercise to do, just top warm us up for the real term classes. And Mr. Bong, who was my Chinese teacher in form 1, teaching us Maths this year. Hooray!! :) And he gave us the first chapter of form two math. It was quite easy, for it was similar to decimals we learned last year. And then the last school bell ranged and our whole class packed up for home. It was a nice way to start school terms, and tomorrows gonna be more exciting. I better remember the whole class names first, just for start of making friends.
