While I was standing on duty at office staircases during lunch just two weeks ago, I had a very sudden, very shocking epiphany.
It went somewhat along the lines of, “Oh man, everyone who’s coming up the stairs who isn’t a teacher is younger than me!”
I must confess, I felt rather old. I mean, all my juniors were nodding and smiling and asking for permission to go to the toilet from me, and it felt as if I were some sort of teacher or student counselor or a big figure of authority. Now that really packed a punch (rather like Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes) as the realization that I had to sit for SPM this year dawned - finally.
So, as you can see, school life hasn’t quite sunk in properly for me yet - and it’s February already. Here I am, still pining desperately for holidays like the Na’vi people pine for E’wa.
If you’re not getting my movie references here, then you most definitely are missing out on something. Go check out our Review section for reviews on Pixar’s ‘Up’ and ‘Panoramal Activities’ and watch out for our Avatar and Sherlock Holmes reviews, which are coming soon. Recent movies have been a blast, as you will find out from our movie reviewers.
Besides that, we have an overview of cricket and a football season review up in the sports section, with more to come. Expect a great number of football articles, as our writers hype up the upcoming football tournaments. Some of our fresh new form 1 members have written about the new students and their new experiences in form 1, while some of our older members have written about the Golden Globes, Global warming, and about Jazeman Jaafar, who paid a visit to us in January for a short assembly.
Altogether, January has been busy but February brings the promise of swimming gala, and so our dedicated writers will bring news of champions this month. Updates will be different this year as articles will go online individually as they are written instead of all at once, and the newsletter has a few new sections coming up - so do visit us from time to time to have a look-see.
In the meantime, if you do have any queries or comments (which are much appreciated), do approach me or contact me at leeyuexiu10@cempaka.edu.my. My team of writers and I are glad to serve. We wish you all a happy and prosperous Chinese New year, and also since it falls on the same day as Valentines Day, Happy Valentines day to all! |
