SRJK (C) Kwang Hwa - 6M Class of 1990 20th Anniversary (1/5/2010)

It's 20th anniversary!!!
Gosh, time flies!!
We left our primary school for 20 years already.
1st May 2010, we were having our 20th Anniversary Gathering.
The organizer sets 1st May will be our gathering date every year.
So that people will have less excuses to be absent for the gathering (1st May - Labour Day).
We went back to our primary school to have a walk and refresh our lovely childhood stories in the school.
Our school has changed a lot.
There are 2 new huge buildings.
The old classrooms, library, hall, staff rooms have been demolished.
Left only our s0-called new building during our generation (standard 5 & 6 building).
Their new pupils' life have been upgraded.
They have at least 6 fans in a classroom and even fans in their toilets. (unbelievable huh...)
Below are some photos taken on that day.

Our Old School Hall (has been demolished)

Our school backyard has been changed to a nice field.
Last time was just like an abandoned land with sand only.

Another view from our school backyard.

A view of the old building (last time was our new building) from backyard.
Ground floor is the canteen.

The space for us to line up last time (in front of the canteen) has been changed to a nice garden.

A few artistic arches in the garden.

Our 6M classroom. Our tables are still in used.
But the classroom has been converted to Bilik Kemahiran.

Another pictures of our tables.
Good quality of material can last more than 20 years.

The New School Hall

The school hall consists of 3 badminton courts whereby our old hall had only 1 court.
The shuttle cocks can always hit the ceiling due to the hall was too small.

An eye sore of the school.
This classroom is in the new building but look at the cleanliness.
What a shame for the pupils do not know how to take care of the school property.
Do you notice a small white board on your left.
The board is used for jotting down what & when is submission of the homework.
Serve as a reminder purpose.
Our very very old Cocoa Tree.
She is still there with good condition.

Another view of the old building.

Look at the canteen now.
Nicely renovated with colourful benches and good lighting system.
Last time we were using broken wooden benches.
Our picture taken at the canteen.

At the 2nd floor of the old building.
That floor used to be our standard 5 classrooms.

Our classroom 6M.
Last time we had 6 classes for each standard - M (Merah), K (Kuning), H (Hijau), U (Ungu), B (Biru), J (Jingga).
Now they have another 2 more - E (Emas) & P (Perak)

Our picture taken at 6U due to 6M classroom was locked.
Our friend here was complaining the duster was badly broken and said that he'll donate 1000 duster to the school.
Most probably an empty promise. *laugh*

The wooden rostrum has been replaced by a stainless steel one.

6M Classmates

Only 3 ladies of 6M attended the gathering.
Hopefully next year's gathering will have more participants!

My TV is BACK!!! (6/4/2010)

My TV was out of order on the first day of Chinese New Year, 真是大吉利是!
Few days before, my DVD player was down.
What can I say, 鸿运当头.
We missed all the good programs during CNY, SIEN!!!!
1 month plus without a TV in our home.
Brought for repair mid of March and finally came back this week.
Now I know, life without a TV is fine for me.
But life without a PC (with Internet connection) then my life will be miserable. ^_^

MY LIFE AT DE-GARDEN (11/1/10 - 7/2/10)

After the discharge from Pearl Maternity Hospital, I was sent to De-Garden Confinement Center for a 1-month stay. At first, I really got home sick although my hubby came to visit me & my baby everyday. Later on, I got used to it already.

My life at the confinement center was quite routine: eat, sleep and feed.
Chinese believes that a lady after delivery cannot take bath for at least 12 days.
We have people cook for us, do the laundry for us and taking care of our babies.
What else can we do at the center?

We have 5 meals per day:
8:30am Breakfast
11:30am Lunch
2:30pm Tea Break
5:30pm Dinner
8:30pm Supper

It's really hard to loose weight during the confinement month and also it's not advisable to be on diet on this particular month.
Chinese will eat a lot of herbs to recover the body and all the herbs are the heaty type.
My body was not used to the heaty herbs so my nose was bleeding a little bit.
This is so called 虚不受补.

This confinement center has wifi provided.
We can go online any time.
However, my hubby only brought me my notebook after 2 weeks.
His concern was I must spend my time to rest for the 1st 2 weeks as he knows that once I go online I'll be spending my time playing games.
He is right actually.
I understand his concern is for my own good.

Luckily I have nice room mates (Seok Foon & Sarah) to chat with, not that boring.
Not only that, I know new friends like Xuang Xuang, Yuet Kit, Josephine, Esther, Xiao Qi.
We had mama talk and stories sharing.
Miss the moment actually.

Another activity for the mothers is suntaning the babies (those who got Jaundice).
See the pictures below.




I'm sharing some pictures of my confinement center and you can see the environment of the center. Quite comfortable & clean.

My Baby 9/1/2010

This day is one of my important day in my life.
After 9 months of pregnancy finally I met my little girl this day.
I was bleeding on the 8/1/2010 around 11:30pm.
Then my hubby took me to the hospital as according to my gynae if I have any sign (bleeding, contraction pain or water bag burst) I need to go to the hospital.
At first was still OK, my mild pain started around 2:00am until 9:30am when the doctor decided to break my water bag to accelerate my delivery.
By then I started to suffer the serious contraction pain.
That was killing me, no kidding.
I can't get a word to explain the pain I was sufferring only the mothers will understand it.
I was sent to the labour room around 1:00pm.
Trying hard to push out the baby but unsuccessful due to no energy after sufferring the pain for more than 10 hours. Then the gynae helped to vacuum out my baby with my push effort.
And finally, my baby was delivered at 2:33pm.
What a big release!!!
My hubby was beside me all the time.
He was so hurt seeing me suffer like this.
I thank him for giving me the supports, love him very much!!!

Please meet my little one

KIM CHI STEAMBOAT (2/1/2010)

We were having steamboat lunch on the 2nd day of 2010.
Nothing special to celebrate but to try out the Kim Chi steamboat.
We invited a few friends to have the steamboat together.
Normally we'll have 2 types of soup base, chicken/vegetable soup or Tom Yam.
This time we put Kim Chi instead of Tom Yam.
We were having Korean Chef Kim Chi for the soup.
It was spicy enough for our taste bud.
Yummy!
You may also try Kim Chi steamboat during the Chinese New Year reunion dinner as the CNY is around the corner.
For those who would like to try out the Korean Chef Kim Chi, please do not hesitate to leave a message.
