Exhaustively Taiping

I intend to fill up my blog with the story of Taiping last night but I was so tired and I sleep early at about 8:00 p.m. Yeah, I had to drive all the way to Taiping on Friday and come back yesterday after Zhafir finished his event.

On Friday morning I confronted this 'human' about his coming 'trip' to Taiping. I asked him is he going or he is not? He said he is but he will not bring Ita and he went with his friend who is suppose to bring Ita and Zhafir along with the other pupils who participate in Saintis Muda. And this 'human' also told me that his friend pass the pupils to other teacher and doesn't want to bring Ita along. This 'human' said they have something to do at Taiping (and I think it's not about school work, just to menambah pendapatan yang sedia ada dengan menipu orang). We had a very good fight that morning. The whole morning before I went to Taiping he didn't speak to me at all (and Ita), probably afraid because he must felt that he IS GUILTY. And yes, he met his own enemy because I'm a very loud person.

So, we leaved at 11:00, took Zhafir from his house and went all away to Taiping. The trip is not too long because I have Ita to accompany me although she took a nap for a while. We talked about a few teachers in our school who has a bad attitude. Sometimes we wonder if the teachers also talk about us because I also felt that I have a few bad attitude. (Ini kategori mengumpat nih)

We arrived at SMK Br. Burhanuddin exacly at 2:00. We signed up our arrival and straight to the hostel where the participant and the mentor will stay. Yoo bad the counter opened at about 3:00. Biasalah, Melayu punya janji and Melayu yang bertugas. The thing is, there's only one guy and three women who were on duty, and I though kenapa laa these women tak mula bertugas pada masa yang tepat? And again, biasa laa Melayu...sudah dicop tidak menepati masa (and malas). Tapi bukan semua laa...sebab nila setitik...

Ita signed in for the hostel but we didn't stay there because I couldn't. And the hostel is divided into to genders, so we weren't able to take care of Zhafir (Year 3 and the youngest son, manja but not ciwek). So we went to the hotel nearby (the oldest hotel in Taiping), booked a room with one queen bed and one single bed with a price of RM108 perday. Ok la tuh, Ita can claim for it.

The view: Sangat bising sebab dekat traffic light

Ita took a nap while Zhafir and I watched Spongebob and other cartoons. At night all of us went to Tesco. I bought some mags then we went for dinner. Kesian Zhafir, tak de selera because he was homesick but he was able to finished a bowl of claypot rice. After that, along our walk to the car park there's a boutique. FAIR LADY. Saje laa masuk and the dress are all very the pretty. I bought 3 clothes and Ita macam geram aje. She said duit dah habis, lagipun she bought a lot when we went to Pari last two weeks. She said, tunggu lah nanti nak beli sekali baju raya anak. And I have a reason to go back to Taiping. Tak de laa boring sangat balik rumah mertua kan.

Went back to hotel and Zhafir rehearsed his story for one last time. We went to bed early that night. The next morning, after packed up things we went to school. Long story short, Zhafir was the 16th contestant. Only Sounthern Perakians were able to tell story about facts and not cedok 100% from story books. Most of other contestant told story about animals and few of them about plants. Bosan kan?

The preparation

The results will be announce today (Sunday) so we do not want to waste our time. We decided to went back yesterday and before that I treated Ita and Zhafir KFC. Actually I wanted to taste the cheese macaroni. Well, sedap laa jugak. Ita, who was on diet...tarak nak diet laa dia!!! Then, Zhafir's family came and had lunch together at other table. They actually came to watch Zhafir but they came too late. So, they just came to picked Zhafir since he missed his mother so much and probably they went to the zoo after that (Zhafir's request).

Before leaving, I stopped at Starbucks to picked up a latte for myself as I had to drive all the way to Teluk Intan. Then, Ita's husband picked her at my house. Dah tak larat laa nak bawak dia sampai rumah. Well, I got a new machine (that arrived on the day I went to Taiping). An exercise machine...Huhahahahahaha!!!
