My school meme

Funny why Helen wants me to do a meme now. She must have forgotten that preggies are rather forgetful one. And regarding school too. Damn, one of the most traumatic event of my life. However, i managed to sail through in one piece. I'd better get going now....

How many schools did I go to?

All i know of was that i only went to Kindy at 6yrs old. Taught by a Miss Chan. Nowadays, kids start their education at 2, niamah. What the fark are their parents thinking of. That they can mould their child into some junior Einstein if they start them young enough? Till now, i still use the same old 26 letters of the alphabet and the numbers 0 - 9, no more no less.

Primary 1 - 6 at Marian Convent. Hated primary school days as we used to get hauled to the dentist every now and then. I have curly hair and the nurse there would pinch my cheeks and ask me that stupid question as to why my mom perm my hair every time i sit in that chair, tiuuuu. Cute chinese girls with curly hair must have been an extremely rare species i guess. If i knew my rights then, i would have hollered out "Child-abuse" the moment i see that hand coming near my face.

Secondary 1 - 5 at Main Convent, Ipoh. Turning point of my life was during Form 2 when i obtained my first ever red mark. Only short of 2 points to pass History, DNMCH. I begged, i reasoned to get that 2 points. CB teacher refused flatly. Have not much recollection of how i managed the rest of the few years there until graduation. Only regret, never played truant. How pathetic.....

College - Took up Graphics studies at Perak Institute of Art for 1 year and went to continue my studies at Saito Academy of Art in PJ. End of school.


Was I the studious nerd, or the last minute hero?

Very last minute person. Too lazy to study larr. Still pass what...


Was I the class ‘taiko’ (big bully) or the teacher’s pet?

Neither. I stick to my own small group of friends. I'd sleep through class or do friendship bracelet under the desk most of the time.

What was the biggest rule I broke in school?

Must have been not wearing petticoats. Chi9sin, farking hot weather, wear petticoats wohhhhhhhh. You see, our stupid uptight headmistress thinks just because our school's right opposite a boys' school, we all ought to behave like her, all prim and proper, ptuiiii.

Three subjects I enjoyed:

1. English - Easiest to pass mah. Sure win case.
2. Add maths - I've decided the moment i entered science stream that i'd ditch this for Art. So, i practically ponteng every add maths class..... bliss.
3. Art - An A1 definitely looks great on anyone's result slip, right. Ahhhh, me.... the great artist.

Three teachers that inspired me:

None that i can remember.

Ok, i've finished my meme. Hope you all had a good time reading this.

heyya Samm,

i've read yours & mavericks answers, and put mine on my blog too... just based on those three samples, it would seem that school & education during primary & secondary school was uninspiring for most of us... kinda sad, eh?

Cocka Doodle said...
