i wanted to keep two different parts of my posting today and will do it about two times per week. and yes, i finally get to wear normal clothes to school. about the chemistry class, the lecturer said that by the end of the year only half the class will be present. they didn't actually drop the subject but we are allowed to choose if we wanted to attend the classes or not. the bad thing is we have to take an extra subject for one semester and that is moral. i don't really know why they call it a moral class but it is actually the malaysian history. the worst thing is the subject is in malay...... all the malaysian citizens have to take up the subject. we even need to pass moral to get our certificates.
every subject is divided into three parts which is the tutorial (homework time!), the lecture (boring speeches where the lecturer just come in and talk) and the lab work. if you don't do your homework nobody will care anyway, because the teacher just give but never receive homeworks. i like going to the lab though. our microscope alone costs about 3600 malaysian dollars. we have a new type of the pipette pump where you just need to push the scroller up with your thumb and press the soft button at the side to release the solution. and the labs are clean, clean and clean. mainly because the teachers keep complaining about the slightest stain in the lab! our chemistry lab even has a shower stand to clean of any acid when it is severely splashed on the clothes.
the thing that i don't really like about the school is the long school hours. true to what yoke khee said, my classes starts at 8 in the morning and ends at 3 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. maybe it is the newness of everything or maybe it is just my emo part, i actually missed md, i miss walking to the canteen with yoke khee, chai eng, supa, nisa, cheow wei, ying hee...... and a whole lot of people. i missed sitting together in the canteen with all of you and talk about boys and stuff. the most funny thing is i even miss wearing the tudung with you all and see the tudung droop down on our foreheads or seeing our hair jutting and poking out at the sides. haha now that i think of it, i even miss the hunger pangs that chuan ho puts us through while waiting for his belated meals... sorry chuan ho no offense!
everything's fine here, i even went shopping in the 70% sales yesterday in metrojaya. haha, grace will really scold me for not heeding to her advice but i only bought 3 clothes. i bought a black hush puppies shirt with a little puff at the sleeves and small flowers at the hem and 1 white sleeveless top from pop soda and 1 yellow t-shirt also from pop soda. and you know what i only spent about 20 brunei dollars for them. quite worth it because (bashfully) i have too much sleeveless shirts and only a handful of t-shirts. oh yea, and we can actually wear sandals and very very short skirts to school. but then being the good little girl i am, i wear long pants, t-shirts and spectacles to school. (this is when we say bu yao lian). haha...
