School Competitions

First , wanna update on Anastassia's choral speaking. Sad to say that the decision stays. I'm upset although Anastasia has resigned to the fact that it's a goner. Anak dah boleh let go tapi mak still geram lagi ni. But too bad, I cant do much about it. Tapi sorryla ye, my faith towards the system dah gone, malasla nak cakap apa2 lagi.

After this, if there's any announcement about the emphasis of koko keluar paper, I tergelak ajela.... boleh kan?


Well, on a cheerful note, I met Mia few days ago. Dia wakil sekolah in Choir. Although her school didnt win, it was a good attempt as it was their first try after several years tak masuk Choir Competition. Yang menang is the school that Mia was supposed to go if Mia tak dapat SBP dulu. (and her primary friends punya school) Their peformance was superb, memang an eye opener for me. Infact the entire Pesta Muzik was a new experience as it was the 1st time Helena tengok competition sekolah menengah.


I was impressed to see the tarian tradisionals and tarian rakyats performed by the competing schools. To me it was even more interesting than the ones showed on RTM or TV3. (hehe, Im not joking) Ada part2 yang I rasa tak sesuai pulak untuk school kids but, well tarian melayu memang ada usik mengusik antara lelaki and perempuan kan.... Well,I really had a great time, it was very different to the primary competitions that I always frequented.


Anastassia hasnt been so lucky lately. She entered a colouring competition lately but didnt manage to win. Well, she didnt really do well in the colour mix, so her painting did not stand out. I consoled her to make this a lesson, and make sure she doesnt do the same mistake again, esp in the next drawing and colouring competition scheduled in June.

Puteri also took part, since she's a first timer, we did not expect much. Although she did not win, but her colouring was quite good. Ada 2-3 orang dok mengadap dia color from the time she starts sampaila habis, Puteri was amused by the attention. She could have win too, tapi her background tak cantik. I have to get Anastassia to teach her how to do background with crayon or water colour. Puteri buat pakai pensil colour aje utk background.....


Anastassia was chosen for both Choir and Pertandingan Bercerita, but had to let go one acara as it was held on the same day. She was also chosen to take part in the National Robotic Competition which will also clash with another competition, so kena let go satu jugak. Kesian pulak tengok dia.


Yesterday she was so down, because dia lambat register for a KL trip with her schoolmates, sebab dia ingat dia taknak pergi because she wants to enter a Rekacipta Competition (held the same day). But when she found out that her invention is very costly, and dia tarik diri sebab no time to invent benda lain, dia ingat dia bolehla pergi KL trip tu, and just found out that dah tak ada tempat. Mmm......
