It had been a very hectic time since school started nearly 2 weeks ago and honestly this is the first time I could ever manage to sit still and not falling back to sleep like I did the past days. And of course the first time I went on reading blogs since the time I updated mine. Along with other English teachers at school, we were busy preparing our pupils for the Zone level English Carnival. On Friday, we had 'solat hajat' event from 6.30pm to 11.00 pm, and on Saturday I was given opportunity to become a judge for the Storytelling competition level 1 for Bandar Zone. Sunday, again, trained my pupil who represents the school for the storytelling competition level 2 in the Pekan Nenas Zone English Carnival.
This is her, the pupil that I trained for months with the aid of her mother who also happened to be a teacher in my school and other English teachers. And this was taken before the competition in the teacher's common room.
Many thanks also to my mom who helped me sewing the kain sampin and show me how to make the tengkolok. We got number 1 for Public Speaking Level 2 and Storytelling Level 2. I found myself enjoying the task of sewing the beads at the sleeve and pocket, making a fake beard and bedazzling a plain sandal to this:-
Yeah, yeah so I have to stick some more of that stuff before the district level competition this Saturday. Hope we can make it this district level since there's another round for the competition that calls for an impromptu storytelling. For an English non-speaker at home, that is going to be tough. Wish us luck!
