Celebrating Independence Day in Wadi Sofia

Today is the celebration of Malaysia’s Independence Day. We have speech from the representatives of each country. The duration for each speech is 3 minutes only. Here the order: Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, India, China, Tanzania, and Sri Lanka. I am the representative from Indonesia. It is good to have a preparation with the students behind the stage. We share many things about studying, living in boarding, school, dreaming, and many more. We do have lot of stuff to be discussed later. Then, Datuk closes the celebration with awesome speech. The point is we have freedom to work hard better than before.

            

 After that, Datuk shows us his private library. He had been collecting his magazine since he was in 12 years old. His first magazine is Time. Not only Time, he also collect other magazine, his notebook when he was in elementary school, and all good reads. Can you imagine? He did take care all of his collection properly. 

 

Wadi Sofia: Weekend

29 Agustus 2013

In Wadi Sofia, weekend starts from Friday until Saturday. Because I have no class in Thursday,
I stay in the resource room to study the preparation for teaching such as lesson plan and so on. I also observe our friends teaching on different classes. I have another job, it is making the speech for the celebration of independence day next Sunday.

At the night we go out to buy Roti Tempayan. It cost only RM 1. If you buy with the beef curry sauce which  costs RM 2, it will be RM 3. The taste of the sauce is same with the sauce for Roti Canai. But, Roti Canai is made with egg while Roti Tempayan has no filling. I prefer Roti Canai than Roti Tempayan. But still, both of them is delicious hehe.

We have a vacation today. Start from Pengkalan Kubor, then pantai Sri Tujoh, the next is KB Mall and then Pasar Cik Ye. 

We should just bought chocolate in Pengkalan Kubor. Because other things except the chocolate has higher price than those in Indonesia. The most lovely chocolate I bought in Pengkalan Kubor is Ferrero Rochero and Hershey’s. I supposed to bought the Beryl’s one. Since we've been planning to go to The Chocolate Factory in Kula Lumpur which produces Beryl’s, I cancel it. 

The next is Pantai Sri Tujoh. It is the famous beach in Kelantan. I'm playing in then sand of the beach, drinking Lychee Ice, and enjoying the sea breeze while eating the shells.

After that we go to KB Mall. I use this chance to take our money from ATM. At first it was a failure although there are master card and cirrus written on the board. Then I try use the Bank Simpanan Negara and I success take my money. In KB Mall there are such things like Matahari or Hypermart in Indonesia. The Pacific is a KB Mall’s version of Hypermart and Fashion Outlet Store (F.O.S) is that of Matahari. I bought a very cute foldable umbrella in Guardian since I have no one in Surabaya. It is the red angry bird umbrella and it costs RM 8. Cheap ya, hehe. Then I’m falling in love with the lime top in F.O.S and I crazily bought it in RM 49. Kyaa. So far, KB Mall is quite good if the location of the surau is not suck. I spent half an hour just for struggling look for surau’s location that actually is out of the mall. The direction board is also can not be trusted. Sigh. 

Then we spent the rest of the day in Pasar Cik Yen just for dinner. I’ve gone mad to go around this market since the price is so so so cheap then that in Pengkalan Kubor. Grrrrrr. In this market I bought nasi with ceker ayam, it is RM 3. So far this one day vacation is fun enough. But not that awesome.
