My First Day at School

It was my first day at school. To be precise standard one. To be more exact standard one at SK Kota Warisan. I was very excited that morning that I woke up very early. Ummi had prepared simple breakfast for me. It's for energy and stimulates healthy brain. She told me.
Wore my baju kurung and tudung, ready for school.

There were so many parents at school waiting for their loved ones to experience the beginning of formal education. Including my parents too.
Everything went smooth. No fear no tears..Just one funny incident when I went to the wrong classroom that created panic situation. I was supposed to be 1 Ikhlas but accidentally followed a wrong teacher that ended up to different classroom. Ummi was searching for me in 1 in Ikhlas to make sure that I was doing fine, but was shocked and surprised not to find me there. Ummi was even more terrified when the teacher was not able to find me in any of standard one classrooms.

Where did I go? Suddenly, in the middle of the search, ummi saw me sitting next to the open window in the opposite classroom. Gotcha..you were in the wrong classroom girl..but I insisted that this is my classroom because here is my friend sitting next to me. Yeahh..right..your friend during pre-school may not be the same classroom now. So I switched to my real classroom. I didn't know that had created such a tremor to ummi and abah.;-)

I overheard ummi's conversation with abah that my batch was the first cohort for KSSR. I'm not so sure about that acronym but ummi mentioned something of UPSR. Well, never mind. Still too early to figure that out.:p

The day ended so fast that I didn't notice it's time to go back. Anyway, it's really fun and enjoyable day for me. I guess there are more to explore.;-D

Hi-5 Bread Factory Visit

I love bread.Especially the smell of bread when ummi bakes bread.This time I wanna share with you my visit to one of the nation's famous bread factory - the Hi-5.The trip was arranged by ummi for her group of students from Hong Kong who came recently for a short course.It was Friday and we arrived at the factory at about 11.30am and unfortunately we haven't had our breakfast yet..!Therefore, the smell of the bread was very irresistible and suddenly my stomach got very cranky.Upon arrival (they only entertain trip by appointment only),we were showed the video of the history of bread and its evolution.I quite not really understand what it said,hehe..but from the videos I knew that bread has its existence since very very long time.Next was the best part.Journey to the bread museum..but wait..!Before you can really enter the museum, we have to shout loudly..HI 5!(remember the late P.Ramlee's movie..ya inseng matakaji semarang ngiseng) sort of..and the door OPENS..!!


Watching the video presentation


Hi-5..!Hi-5!Hi-5!..and the door to the museum opens..P


camera was not allowed but ummi managed to capture few photos discreetly..sshhh..


In medieval Europe, bread served not only as a staple food but also as part of the table service or table manners.

had fun playing with the bread dough..its real!

At the end of the trip, we were brought to the bread shop where we can buy all sorts of breads, cakes and snacks under the brand name of hi-5 or silverbird. We were also given a bag of goodies each with a loaf of hi-5 bread and few other breads. For me this trip is certainly very informative as I learned a lot the whole thing about BREAD..! Thumbs up hi-5!

MY FIRST TRIP TO UK

My First Trip to UK

They say ‘Journey of a Thousand Miles Begin with a Single Step’. Yet it is so true enough because I learnt my first step in the UK! It took me far away to learn to walk ;P. I was one-year old when I had my first trip to the UK. I could still remember that tiring endless 12 hour journey by flight. There were four of us including ummi, tok wan, wan zah and of course cutie little me. ;P

I was told now that the trip was to attend uncle DD’s graduation for his tahfiz which he had successfully completed with flying colours. He studied tahfiz (memorization of Al-Quran) at Darul Uloom in UK. We went there for about 16 days and the weather was not so cold but still I was shivering.

Apart from attending uncle DD’s grand event, we didn’t miss the must-see places in London such as The Trafalgar Square, The London Bridge, The Big Ben, The London Eye and also not forgetting to hop on the double-decker bus. Owwhh..we also took photograph at the red telephone box-the icon of England designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1920.
