Been awhile since I updated this blog... not much has happened since, just been really busy at work... (sigh)
But today I was on leave. Yeay!! The occasion?? To attend my girls' Performance Day... a hari penyampaian hadiah of sorts.
Maira got 3rd place in class, so she received a class placement prize. She was actually 2nd in class this final semester, but only 60% of the final semester exam marks were considered for final class placement... 30 % came from the first semester exam and another 10 (I think, not so sure on the percentages) from akhlaq, homework etc.
Misha finished 6th in her class, so tak dapat apa-apa laaa... I think I need to put more pressure on the girls, la... I admit I've been quite laid-back in my attitude when it comes to their academic studies lately. Bad mom!! Too late now to nyesal, right?? Well, to give credit to Misha, she didn't do too badly I suppose. Her average was 90%, still A kan?? Just need to be better and better next year. 90% is not good enough!!
The Performance Day also saw 4 teams competing for the Best Performance... macam talent show la... these 4 teams were the top 4 out of 15 teams which competed earlier on.
The PA system was awful... especially during the Primary 3 performance. The children had to repeat, repeat and repeat the first half of their performance... kesian. I think it affected their performance. Well, then again not really. They were still really good. What was affected was the marking by the judges. The head judge, former teeny-bopper from S'pore Maizurah did comment that the judges looked for a 'short and sweet' performance -- one that was not delayed by technical hiccups... hmmm... not the children's fault what if the PA system was bad. Really bad. B-A-D bad!! Ahh well, to me personally the Primary 3 performance was the best and it was pretty obvious too from the applaud they received from the audience. So, they won in my books. Did I mention Maira was in the team?? Heheh... by the way they emerged second runner-ups...
Tomorrow is the class par-tay!! Yeay!! Makes me wish I was still in school. School holiday = tak yah bangun pagi pergi sekolah. Misha especially still can't get over the concept why working people don't have long holidays like school holidays. Hmmm... work holidays?? I wish!! :o)
Of course school party have to bring food, kan?? After lunch outside, we came home and baked two types of muffins – Oreo muffins and banana muffins for the school party. Of course, riuhlah my cute kitchen when the girls take part in kitchen activities hehe. Hmmm… as I’m typing this, the aroma of freshly baked muffins still lingers on (I belum mandi!!) hehe…
Ok lah, before I go hit the showers, here are some photos to break the too-much-text (ramblings) in this post!!

The photos snapped by Misha. Mommy too shy to stand in front of the stage and expose backside (badside??)to everyone!!
