Such a Boring Holidays.....

Tomorrow is the 1st day to school after a week on holidays starting 22nd August..
It was a very boring holidays ever.. Nothing exciting to do, nowhere to go..
Maybe bcoz the muslims are fasting, including me! And
Whatever it is, fasting is fasting.. Life must go on.. Hope the coming days will be more exciting although we have to study and study.. Adios..

Holiday Happy!

HUH! We have another long rest this year. Ladies and Gentlemen, spend ur time wisely. Wear ur masks when u're out. Not forgetting, Happy Fasting Month for Muslims, And Happy Birthday to Jiha(27/8)!

The proper way to wear a face mask.

The proper way to wear a face mask.
Posted on May 6, 2009 by Jean 
In an earlier post about my office issuing masks and thermometers, I posted a photo of myself wearing a mask. Today I learned that I was wearing the mask the wrong way. Let me show you why.

I was wearing the mask the right way in terms of pulling it over my nose, crimping the metal nose piece securely, and pulling the bottom of the mask down over my chin. But...

What I did not realise was that there is a right side and a wrong side to the face mask. Most face masks have a coloured side and a white side. The coloured side should face OUT while the white side should be next to your face when you’re wearing the mask. Hence, it should look like this and not like my negative demonstration above:

Ah. Better.

As for how long you should wear the mask before throwing it out, the recommendation is eight hours. But if you’re a mouth breather, and your mask gets all moist and disgusting, change masks more frequently.

State Drama Competition 2009

Congrats to DZ for representing Batang Padang in the state drama competition. I just want to say that I am very proud of them. It was not an easy climb. When we won the district, it was really difficult to raise the game. PPD wanted us to improve our act, make it longer and etc but we were short of money. Luckily, our principal gladly approved some funds for us and we managed to make some more props. Then, some members wanted to quit as many teachers had scolded them for taking part. I told them that the teachers mean well as they were worried about their studies too. I had not wanted to take the exam classes as the actors but I had no choice as 4 Zuhrah was involved in science and maths fair as well as carnival. We also could not practice during school hours. Everything was done after school....So, I really salute the students and Mr Edmund for hanging in there even though we had so much self doubts...And to Jabar, who had to walk a few kilometres back home to Kg Balun, I salute thee

I must say that DZ rose to the occasion. Everyone did well even though there were many obstacles. Just before we went up stage, the computer would not start and the background could not be hung...i just whispered a prayer and voila...everything went on as we wanted...the computer started and we had our background , no one forgot their lines, timing was fantastic...the judges said that everyone spoke very well and they were very surprised...kampung school ma....

So, if anyone asked me whether it was worth it, I would say a thousand times, yes...cos if we did not try, we would never have known that we are right up there and we should have more self-believe. We always feel inferior when compared to Kinta and LMS but this time, we were right there as well....So, when I was told that we were the top four schools selected for consideration, I was ecstatic and I felt like crying.....for joy...

Never ever let anyone tell us that we are not good enough, people....DZ boleh!!!!!

A Fantastic Experience

Yesterday was a remarkable day for the drama team of SMKDZM as this was the first time in history, our drama team made it to the state level English Drama Competition. The competition which commenced at 8.00am and only finished at 1.00pm was participated by ten schools (from ten districts in Perak) which were grunting and grinding their way in the notion of representing Perak in the national level competition in Penang. It was definitely a tough competition as all the schools were equally good. But, as you all know, in any competition, there would only be one winner.
Eventhough the results didn’t favour us, we were very satisfied as we put up a good fight. For us to get fourth (we only rehearsed for two days, believe me…) among ten participating schools was definitely an achievement itself as the top three schools were superb. King George V (represented Larut Matang-Selama) bagged the first place, leaving SMK Sentosa (represented Kinta Selatan) as runners.
The Georgians 7 months of practice surely paid off when they put up a mind-blowing performance, with amazing props and a unique story line, which was also awarded the best script. I’m sure they will make Perak proud in the national level competition.
On the other hand, the 1st runner-ups (who were last year’s runner-up for the national level competition) were not satisfied with the results as they expected to grab the first place. There was another drama going on backstage as that school wanted to hand over a ‘Surat Bantahan’ to the organizing team. But, in my perception, they shouldn’t have taken it too seriously as the judges did a good job in choosing the best team.
Whatever it is, our drama team is very thankful to Sir Edmund Yeo, Teacher Jenny and all the teachers involved, for their concerted effort in training us until we achieved a contented victory. Not to forget, I would like to thank all the team members (Kit Yin, Pavaani, Thava, Jabar, Pei Yii, Darshany, Guna, Narenth, Siva and Vel) for their wonderful cooperation in putting up such a good performance yesterday. I will surely miss the enjoyable sessions of training with you guys…
I hope next year we can at least represent our state for the national level competition. This wish will definitely go on my vision board.
BE AWARE OTHER TEAMS… DZ WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR!!!
