Alhamdulilah, Ee managed to secure a CGPA of >3.6 upon completing Asas 1. This is not to say that students with pointers less than mentioned are not smart. They are equally smart, only that they are excelling more at non-academic aspects of their education.
The Majlis Anugerah Pelajar (MAP) ceremony was held at the UKM Bangi campus. It was less than a 20-minute drive from my hotel. However, parking spots were scarce. This is expected as we have parents from all levels of study coming to celebrate their children’s success. The phone connection here was equally bad. It was so hard to get a signal. Or maybe the hall was built with a system that intercepts all forms of phone signal. If that is the case, I am not surprised, as this is a centre of high-performing academicians. Apart from giving out scrolls and plaques, there were also performances from students, like singing and dancing.
My husband was not able to attend MAP as he had ongoing work commitments in Bangkok. The ceremony was completed by noon. We headed straight to the highway after that to Melaka. On the way, we stopped at the new RNR Seremban for prayers and lunch. The surau was so beautiful. There were loads of restaurants and food trucks. Ee wanted to eat A&W’s coney dog, so we ordered that. Then, we bought Boost Drinks to sip on in the car on our way home.
Once we reached Melaka, I changed into a more comfortable attire. The plan is to walk over to my MIL’s house, which is within walking distance, to pick up my daughter. She had to sleep over at her cousin’s house the night before since she still had school. The next day, I brought them out to dinner at this fantastic new cafe. That will be another blog post.
