Almost There!

I am not fully recovered from Chicken Pox. But I am almost there!
Maybe 3 or 4 days more. But I feel normal. I guess I will be dusting my books today after more than 10 days. Trust me... those days when I was sick feels like heaven. Because, I had nothing to do. Just lie down in my bed and read. No chores. I kind of miss it. Anyone would.
It reminds me of a comic story I read. It was in a 'Betty and Veronica' book. Betty broke her leg and even she feels the same after she recovers from it. She has to run many errands for her Mom. She has to clean up her room... Lots of chores.
But, yeah, every good thing has an end.

I have these marks in my face after the poxes dried. But unlike the 'Pimple-conscious' teenage girls, I went out to a Mall yesterday. Oh yes, I did! Actually, I am in the starting stages of being a pimple-conscious girl and I didn't want to 'show-off' my marks. But I forced myself. Because, we were planning to go for a movie.
So, yesterday night, I saw the movie 'Life of Pi'.

I am kind of confused after the movie, actually. That is because, I found two endings for the movie. One, what I thought that happened and another, what Papa said that happened.
The movie is of this Indian boy, who is following 3 religions, named Piscine Patel. He changes his name to Pi because his school mates make fun of his name and call him 'Pissing Patel'. LOL!
He is named after a French swimming pool, you see. His family has to move to Canada because of some government issues and they set of to Canada in a Japanese boat. The boat sinks due to a storm. But Pi survives and he is isolated in the middle of an ocean, in the deepest point of earth in a small boat with a Zebra, a Orangutan, a Hyena and a Bengali tiger named Richard Parker. The hyena, zebra and the orangutan dies. And only Richard Parker and Pi lives. Then its full of adventure, starvation, fantasy.
I feel, there is a lot of fantasy... thing you can't believe. I mean what do you think of a carnivorous island and water that turns acidic during the night. And sparkling whale?!

But the movie is good. The animation and stuff, its cool. This is the second movie that made me scream in the theater. Yeah... I screamed when the tiger jumped to the screen. The first time I screamed was when a snake jumped onto the screen in the movie Harry Potter- Deathly Hallows.
 I am looking forward in reading the book of Pi. I did read from another blog, of a tween, that the book is really inspirational. She has written a lot about the book, including a poem from the book. I guess its worth reading. You could also give it a try!

Excitement is bad for Health

On 18th of this month, I turned 14.
Yeah... it was supposed to be fun, exciting and all. But in my case, it was a lot opposite to my expectations.
You want to know what happened..? Well, here's what happened....

Another normal day at school. Waiting for the next teacher to come to the class and start her class. But my mind, filled with thoughts which were acting like monkeys, jumping around that little head of mine. I was waiting for my birthday like I was to become a Millionaire on that day. I started blabbering to Rahanuma about what was going on in my mind. I needed to go shopping for new clothes because, suddenly there seems to be a lack of mind-blowing dresses in my wardrobe. I guess it is like that for any other teenager. At the shop, all the dresses are so good. You buy one of those, wear that and go out twice, the dress now seems a year old! Well, after getting a new dress, I really needed a hair-cut. My hair is just too long now. What about foot-wear?! If I am wearing a Dress, I need the heels which goes with it... otherwise it won't look good. But I don't have heels because I don't find them comfortable. And I don't want to wear Jeans and Canvas shoes because that's what I wore last year. I want something different. Something different what my friends won't expect from me. Because, I claim to be a  tomboy (which I think I am losing touch with) and I am one, mentally, at least. But this time, I want to look like a girl, a real girl. Too much talking I did and too much excitement I had, about my birthday, that all I cared after that was looking good on my birthday. And I still remember word-to-word what I said "I am getting soooo excited that I am starting to feel I will be sick on my birthday and I will miss school!".

And you know what... I regret saying that. I have always been optimistic, I don't know why such an idea struck my mind! To say something so pessimistic! That too when my Birthday was so close that the number of days left could be counted on our fingers!
I guess you got the hint... yes... unfortunately, my great prediction came true. I fell sick. And this time, not the normal cold or cough... I am suffering from Chicken Pox!! And that's how I spend my birthday. Bed-ridden.
At least, I was in a condition when I could walk to the phone to receive those Birthday wishes.

Sir Isaac Newton found the three laws of motion.
And I found one, myself! Not on Motion... just a random one. Like a moral of this story. And here goes...

"Excitement and Good Health are inversely proportional to each other, especially on the cases of desperate teenagers."

That's weird

Just like any other human being, I opened the Google page today...again.
You know, when there is any special occasion, the style in which 'Google' is written will be related to that occasion. Its called Google Doodle. So today, according to my knowledge, the special occasion is Taylor Swift's Birthday. And when I opened Google, the Doodle was Birthday cakes. I put the cursor on top of one cake, and it showed 'Happy Birthday Malavika!!'. And I am like 'Today is not my birthday.. there are 5 more days left for mine'.

Then I clicked on it, and my Google+ profile opened... I was online at that time. Then, I scrolled down, and my birthday was shown as 'Dec-13-1998'. I don't remember when me saving my birth date as Dec 13th. I let that doubt stay uncleared. And I tried to change my birth date in G+ account before I forget to do it. I changed the 13th to an 18th... (and here's where the weird part comes).... and clicked 'Save' Button and they are showing 'Please enter a valid date'.

And I go '"Okaay... well, that's weird..". I tried 2-3 times, but it is still showing 'Please enter a valid date'.
I don't know what they mean by this 'valid date'.
It's irritating and I am like 'Dude, it's not Feb 31st, its Dec 18th!'

Why can't everyone be like that..?

Some weeks ago, Papa, Amma, My sister Anu and I went to Dubai Mall.
We went there to get a new shirt for my sister. But the luck was on my side! She did not get anything and I got a new top! WooHoo..!

Recently, Anu had gone for ice skating with our cousins. And she is loving it! So, she wanted to go for ice skating again and her wish was granted. It's not that I am scared to skate, but I don't like to do anything of that type without my friends. So, I thought I would go explore the book shop, 'Kinokuniya' and Virgin Mega-store. I went alone. You might think I am kind of stupid to not carry money with me. But I did not want to buy anything that day.
So, I was wandering through Virgin store and then I went to the book shop later. Inside, Kinokuniya, I saw a book of Taylor Swift! I got carried away by that book. I was flipping the last page of the book when i realized that I should be getting back to the Ice Rink. There was this window inside the book shop which faces another atrium of the mall and I saw two people; one playing the Grand Piano and the other playing the Violin. I wanted to listen to the music. That was my next destination.I wasn't so sure which way to go... But I wasn't lost. I found my way and I stood there listened to the music. Then again, the alarm in my head started ringing! I should be getting back to the Ice Rink. I turned around briskly, when I did not exactly hit her, but was nearly very close to hitting her. I took a step back and a 'Sorry' came out of my mouth in reflex. My eyes were fixed on the way I should go. That lady's voice is still inside my head. She rudely said "Watch, where you are going!". I, sincerely did not expect such a reply and I did not like it either. I didn't bother to turn around and walked super fast back to my family.

                                                          ***********************

It was dinner time! We were still in the mall. But that doesn't matter. The food court has ALL kinds of food. Papa is interested in trying out new dishes from different parts of the world. That day, it was German food. We bought our food and took our places. We were talking and eating. That's when a European family passed by; A lady pushing a pram, her husband carrying a cute little girl and two elderly people. This man carrying the little girl was passing by, by Amma's chair. Amma leaned to her chair and this man moved his hand. Both at the same time. So, by mistake, his hand touched Amma. Amma turned around to say 'Sorry' but before she could even open her mouth, he looked at her and said "Oh! I am so sorry.". Then he looked at Papa and said "I am really sorry!". He had such an innocent face. We said its all right. But he apologized one more time and only after that he left. After few minutes, they came back, maybe because they had taken the wrong way before... And this time,  he moved a bit far from Amma's chair and said "Safe distance", looked at  my dad and smiled. Then all of us laughed. They left and we were eating again.
I told Papa "Such a gentleman, right?".
Then I also told Papa, about that lady who I came across near the Musicians.

The world would have been such a beautiful and better place if everyone was like that European Gentleman. What is the point of being rude? What is the point of living with a frown in your face, when we can actually smile and live with the positive things in life? What do you lose when you say 'Sorry' to someone?
I am not saying that, that lady, should apologize to me. Why should she...? She didn't come and hit me. But at least a "It's all right" or a "Oops! I didn't see that coming" wouldn't harm or hurt anyone. It's just a suggestion.

Now,  think about yourself... are you like that lady or that gentleman...?
If suppose you are like that lady, would you take my suggestion... or continue to be 'yourself'?
The choice is yours... Now that you know how people you who have seen only once in your lifetime can judge you with those words that slip out of your mouth.... I hope you choose the correct option.

UAE National Day!

2. 12. 2012

Today is the 41st 'Birthday' of United Arab Emirates!
And I feel awesome! The reason is obvious : I LOVE U.A.E!!!

Last Thursday, we had National Day celebration and it was totally amazing. The dance was so good!

WE LOVE U.A.E.!!!

Girls dressed up as guys and dancing. It was so 'I-dont-know-what-to-say' type, in a good way. It was far much better than the boys doing do the dance... We had fun within the students. There was a Throw Ball match between students and teachers. And guess what? Teachers won!

Now, let me write, well....type to be precise, about U.A.E. I consider my self very lucky to be living in U.A.E. You know, surrounded by the 'World's Tallest' , 'World's Biggest', 'World's Largest' and the 'World's Longest'. Maybe, I am one of those 'World's Luckiest Teenagers'. WOW! That's a lot in the World!

Going through the History of U.A.E., we get to know that, U.A.E. came to existence in 1971, when 6 emirates joined together to form a country. Later, in 1972, the Emirate, Ras-Al- Khaimah also joined the U.A.E. It's a very much developed Arab country. Anyone would just love it here! It's not a place filled greenery, but the Government's efforts to bring that bit of greenery to the country deserves praise.
The whole country is filled with the National Flag of U.A.E. and decorations from last week. I bet everyone was eagerly waiting for today! I guess, there is going to be fireworks in the capital, Abu Dhabi... And that is really, totally, worth watching! Let me end this post, by saying it once again :

                                               I LOVE U.A.E.!!!!!

I gotta feeling

The topic of this post may give a wrong conception that this post is about Black Eyed Peas. But it's not.

Last to last week, my Father's brother (I call him Cheriyachan) and family from Singapore, came here, to Dubai for a visit. They left last week. And it feels really uncomfortable now.

It's a nice feeling when all of us are here together. My cheriyachan has two kids : Sidharth (Sidhu) and Neharika (Neha). This is post is about something that I never felt before. It is actually, a very great feeling and I would like to share it with all of you...

I feel it is natural to fight with your siblings. But, being with siblings is a very different feeling. I realized that some weeks ago. I still remember the date, November 10th. It was a Saturday and I sleep till the sun's rays attack me eyes. It was really comfortable on my bed under the blanket, when the A/C is switched on and it is a holiday. I woke up but did not get out of the bed. That when I realized, someone kissed my cheeks. I smiled with me eyes closed and looked at who it was. It was my little cousin sister, Neha. That day, everything went good. It was so sweet of her to kiss me and make my day! A kiss from a cute girl in the beginning of a day... Who wouldn't love that..?! I felt like a sister loved by her... It was a good feeling.
And during another night, we were travelling through the city, returning home after a tiring day. Sidhu was sleeping and he was sleeping, leaning his head on my shoulder. I could feel a source of joy in my heart. I felt like a responsible elder sister. I don't know. I never felt this way before. Never before.

And they day the left, we went to leave them in the airport. After we reached the airport, and when it was time for them to leave, my dad and cheriyachan hugged each other so tightly. I nearly brought me and Shruthy (in between, she also joined us in DXB) to tears! It was such a wonderful sight!!

Then I started wondering why I always fight with my sister... I could stop fighting... I am finally understanding why Papa always tells that I should me more nice to my sister and be a role model to her.
Think about it... and hopefully you will also feel the same.

Students Can Change Teachers (Part-2)

This post is the continuation of the previous post.
So to understand this post, first please read the previous one.

So... I ended the previous one by saying that 'the war began...'
So this is how it looked like : All students astonished, Nice ma'am working, Scarf ma'am frowning, Druti and Rahanuma smiling.
Ma'am asked Druti "Are you the naughtiest girl in the class?". All of us smiled at each other knowing the answer. She replied "Yes ma'am". Yes, our guess was right. Then Ma'am asked "Why were you making that noise?". Now Druti and Rahanuma said "Ma'am, because, there was an awkward silence and we didn't like it. We wanted to change it, that's why we made the noise.". Then Ma'am asked "Don't you know the rules of the Library? Don't you know that you are supposed to be quiet?". She still looked angry. Now, at this point of time, something that none of us expected happened. Druti said "Ma'am, May I give you an advice? Please smile Ma'am. You will look good. Your face will glow". Now, there was an awkward silence. Rahanuma and Maryam told Druti to stop. They said enough is enough. Don't say anything.
Now Ma'am asked, "Is that why you made that noise..?". Suddenly one teacher came inside and started talking to the librarians. So, the scarf Ma'am told Druti and Rahanuma to go and read the rules (The rules were written on a chart paper and it was stuck on the wall).

They read the rules and noticed that the rule telling to maintain silence was the last one on the list.
Once the teacher left, the break was over and we are back to our talk show. Rahanuma said "Ma'am, see ma'am, the rule asking us to maintain silence is the last one. So we have to first follow the first rule and only at the last we will maintain silence". Then Ma'am asked, "So if that rule comes in first, will you keep quiet?". "Yes Ma'am" said Rahanuma and Druti in unison. "And look ma'am, it's written here that 'All students must return the book after one week after the book was issued', and actually, there are students who doesn't return their book ever and the library doesn't even notice it. And even if they notice, some students lie that they lost the book and they just have to pay maximum Dirhams 10/- even for a book which costs more than a hundred dirhams". Ma'am said "That was how it 'was'. It is not like that now. It's more strict".

Now Rahanuma said "Oh...Okay Ma'am. But listen to this Ma'am, 'All students should show their library card if they want to issue a book'...Ma'am I don't even have a library card!". We all laughed. Ma'am asked "Why you don't have library card?". Rahanuma said "Ma'am, the library lost my library card!". This time more louder laughter came from the students! That was a good answer. I did mean to offend the library or the librarians, but that is the truth...And we cannot do anything for that.
And then what finally happened was that, we all got new library cards and the librarian actually smiled!!
We were so happy! That was a very nice library period and we changed her frown to a pretty smile.

All these are my classmate's and my point of view. This is something that happened and now, we cannot change it. If I think from my librarian's side, maybe, this and the previous post might be a little offending. If you also feel that way, I am very sorry. Maybe, our actions offended the librarian. But, I take this chance to tell you all that this was unintentional and not meant for.

Students Can Change Teachers! (Part-1)

I, never before, actually thought about this topic.
But experience talks... and here is an incident that happened last to last week in our Library period.

Last library period was on a Wednesday, I guess. And we all were in the hectic mood of exams. Everyone had at least 2 books open in front of them. Rahanuma, Druti, Ramya and I, were sitting in the second table. I was helping Ramya with some Math problems, Druti and Rahanuma were talking to each other. Rahanuma was actually Multi-Tasking by completing her notes, talking to Druti and at times solving our Math doubts.
There are two librarians... One who always wears a scarf ( I will mention her a the 'Scarf Ma'am') and another one who doesn't wears scarf (She will be the nice lady, because, she is a nice Ma'am).

No one actually likes this scarf Ma'am. The only thing is that, she never smiles and she doesn't even allow us to talk. We are supposed to sit quietly in a library but for us it's a place for all the talking thing to do. The old librarian doesn't care how much ever noise we make. So, we used to like going to the library. Duh! Now, let's get back to 'scenario' of the library last to last Wednesday. Druti was bored and started making a weird noise. Rahanuma enjoyed it and she also started making the same noise. At first we thought, the librarians has not heard the sound...yet. They made the sound again, and I look around, and I see 29 pair of eyes staring at our table. They made the sound again and this time we heard "Who made that noise?" from the librarian's table. I wanted to laugh like anything! But I tried to act as innocent as possible ( after all I did not do anything!). I realized my acting skills are not too bad. But Rahanuma and Druti were supposed to get Oscars for that moment. They looked like as if they did not even hear that weird noise! Everyone looked around. Pin drop silence. Librarians back to work. Now again they made the noise. And again and again.

This is when Druti noticed that the librarian without the scarf (who is the nice Ma'am) trying to find out who is making the noise from the reflection of the 52" smart TV in our library (I know I am showing off!). She found out that it is from our table the noise is coming from. Even after knowing that the librarian understood, Druti and Rahanuma made the sound again. But this time, the nice librarian said "The noise is coming from the second table".
Now the scarf ma'am stood up, and told "All of you stand up!". We all slightly smiling at each other, stood up. I again pulled out my acting skills and tried to look as serious as possible. But Rahanuma and Druti lost control and started smiling. The nice ma'am said "I guess it is that girl making the noise", pointing at Druti. "Come here", commanded the Scarf lady. Druti smiling very nicely, went to the librarian. It doesn't matter for Druti because she has gone through this a lot of times before and it's a daily routine to get it trouble. And that's exactly why I like her!

"Stand Here!", came the second command. At this point of time, Rahanuma raised her hand and said "Ma'am even I made the noise". And she also went and stood there... Then, the war began!

To know what happened next, Stay tuned or come back later!

Exams!

Next Sunday is the first day of my ever first board exam.

Its not fair! We are just 9th graders... Not in 10th yet. But still  we have board exams. Last year, 9th graders did not have board exams. 

I don't know how it going to be. I hope its going to be easy. 

The response from most students in my class after seeing the sample paper for maths is "Fainted on the spot.". Wow. That's a great response. 

I don't know what I am feeling. I am not tensed but yet I am. I don't know what it means, but apparently that is what I feel.

I am depending upon the revision that is going to take place this week. 

Papa will come from India tomorrow. He will also bring my grandmother with him. 

YEAH!

Then in November, Papa's brother and family will be here. If lucky, even Shruthy will come!

Can't Wait!!

After a long time...

It's a long break that I took.
School reopened like 3 or 4 weeks back. I'm enjoying in class!
We are having our assembly next week. I am com-peering with Druti.

We had our KHDA inspections are over. Some people will come from the municipality and inspect our school. I guess we did good. They said we did.

Today something funny happened in the bus.
Oshi became a BIG Directioner! Y'know, One Direction fans!
She was talking about One Direction in the bus. She always does. Today she said something about Niall loving Nando's restaurant. So this half cracked girl in my bus, Twinkle said "OH! I love Nando's! My mom puts it in chicken!"
-Awkward Silence-
Then all of us just started laughing like anything!!! Twinkle also joined, I don't know why.
We were laughing at her stupidity and she joined... LOL
She didn't know it was a restaurant... She could have just shut her mouth and sat there rather than making a fool out of her self.

Anyways, thanks to her, we had a good laugh.

Last Day.. :(

Today was the last day.
Now, we have to wait for 2 months to see each other again.
It's summer vacations!!
I'm going to India on 9th July.

And there's a lot of holiday homework. Something that we all hate.
Druti is so excited about going to India. Me too!
This time, my cousin, Shruthy will also be there and so it's going to be SUPER fun!!
Yeah-Yeah!!
The bus was amazing! We had bus party. It was more like girls v/s boys fight! Opening the coke bottle was a mess!! It was Oshi who opened it. So, what can we expect?
It was fun anyway...
Can't wait to go to INDIA!!!!

RHNM's B'day

Thursday, 14.06.2012, was Rahanuma's Birthday!!

We gave her a surprise birthday in school!
It was awesome...!!
We made her a card of triangle shape. Hehehe...weird? Because that's her favourite shape. LOL.
We stuck pictures and made a really good card.
We bought her red converse. And it fits her perfectly!
Neethy and Mariam bought yummy chocolate cake. That was the best!! It was so creamy and so mouth watering! And so TASTY!!!
Azzah baked a chocolate cake by herself and brought that also.
Druti bought Puffs from Caesar's. 

Rahanuma was really happy. We could all see it from her face.
We wished her 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' in a very cool way!
I just wish her birthday is not only once a year!
HEHEHE!!

Me and Poetry

Hey Peeps!!

Guess what?!
I'm going to start writing poetry!

I have written two till now.
But sadly, can't find those two. I have to search my old books.
I also have a book full of poems. I think that could help me. I'm even searching the internet for tips on writing poems. Papa will bring me a diary,hopefully. I can start writing in that.

But on what al topics will I write??
I need some suggestions. You can help me too. Please write your suggestions as comment.
I will try to write and upload it, here, in this blog.

APD finally over!

That's a looooooooong break that I took.
It's been a long time since I blogged.

APD got over. May 9th and 10th was Annual Prize Day.
1st day, there were some technical problems. But Thursday it was really good.
I couldn't;'t take any pictures... If I had I would have uploaded some.

May 11th was my Grade 2 Trinity Keyboard Exam. I guess I did good.
The scales were good. Exercises were good too. But I guess there was some slips in the song.
Anyways, I already started with my Grade 3.

As all the excitement is over, I guess I will be getting back to studies.
Well, I should be. It's Grade 9 after all..!
And guess what..?
I got my 3rd scholar badge..!!! 

Everything back to normal!

Things are going good after all.
Guess what?! Rahanuma is back to Dubai!!!
YAY!!
And, she is in my class and sits right next to me! And we have lots of fun!!
9-D is fun actually. Well, its turning out to be fun. I made new friends: Mariam, Ann, Zainaba, etc etc etc...
I like our class.

Annual Prize Day (APD) stay back started. I'm participating for choir. I guess I should try solo.
Let me think about it. I'm not so sure about my voice.
Anyways... APD is cool!

Nothing new happening... Will update as soon as something happens!

New Beginnings

My 8th grade results are good. A1's in all subjects except for English which I got A2.
And, I am going to get my 3rd scholar badge.
But, we didn't get our school magazine!! Oh No!! I so want to see it! I wonder whether my picture will come in it. That would be cool.

By the way, School reopened on 1st April. I'm promoted to grade 9-D. Well, it's an 'okay-okay' class. Not much fun like 8-D. It maybe because it is the first week and all. And the worst thing is that, the shuffling is so bad!!
Our class teacher is Mrs. Premy Shashikumar. And we have all awesome teachers. But, there is something missing. There's always something missing. Maths classes are always fun! I love it! Now, I'm in 9th and all, I got to study hard. Give more concentration. Science seems kind of boring. The classes drags so slowly!

My bus also changed. And, the new bus is so silent! Not at all like our old bus. The old bus used to be so loud and noisy! And I enjoyed it! The girls in that bus are also not very frank and social. I hope it all turns out to be good later... I'm sure it will.

Everything that begins well, end well.

8-D \m/

Tomorrow is PTM (Parent Teacher Meeting)
I can't wait for it... Not that I am over confident about my results but I just want to go to school again.
26th will be the last day I will be getting into that room, that room as 8-D...
I miss my class SO much..!! I hope we don't get shuffled... And I have a sensible reason why our class shouldn't get shuffled. It is that, our class is a pure Malayalam class. So I guess it will be more convenient if all of us are in the same class. The second reason is that, our 8th grade batch has made the most problems in the history of our school. And compared with all the other class, our class is the less naughty and most decent class. So, if the classes get shuffled, the whole batch becomes naughty! That is much worse! So, better we don't get shuffled.

Now, I will tell about my class.
Our class, is not very good when we look through Academics. But, we enjoy each and every second together. Not all teachers has good comments about our class and frankly saying, our class teacher has never become a class teacher of a naughty class like ours. We make LOT of noise and NEVER is in our seats!
I remember the first problem we made. It was when we all wrote on our uniforms because it was the last day in that uniform as it was going to change. We didn't write anything illegal. What we wrote was all lame things like 'I will miss your shirt' etc. But, compared to other classes, more students from our class were caught. In 8-D, Rahanuma, Liya, Neethy, me and many others were caught. And we got scolded a LOT! And I can't believe we cried for that, Actually I didn't cry. Others were crying, and I wasn't. I felt weird so I faked some tears...Hehehe!
Then, once, our whole class together were playing the game 'Concentration' in English class, before ma'am came to the class. It was going really well till ma'am came. She got inside the class with a smile and she got to know that we were playing this game. Then, started the fireworks! She said that this game is played by students of 4th grade. She said 'I understand that you girls need entertainment but you shouldn't have done this in my class'. And as a punishment, we had to sit in our arms. Funny, eh? And the weird part comes when everyone else said their arms were paining when mine did not.
Then comes another day, when Liya bought Vermicelli to class to eat. It was some period and our teacher was absent. So, another teacher named 'Mary' came to our class for substitution. Me, Rahanuma and some other girls were sitting in a group and talking and laughing and making lot of noise. That's when I noticed that Liya and Megha were missing. I looked around the class and I saw them both sitting together in one corner of the class. I went next to them and asked what's wrong and I saw that they were eating!! No wonder they were so silent!! I took some vermicelli to eat and went back. I told Rahanuma this. She just jumped up and started hogging the food. And Mary ma'am saw that. She caught them and complained to our class teacher.
Then, all small problems for the class average going very low for some class tests.

All those days... AWW!
I'm going to miss it so much! All I can hope is next year becomes good. But, I'm sure it will never be better than this year.

Farewell Rahanuma

Day before yesterday, Rahanuma left to India forever...

And yes, we all are heartbroken...
In the morning, I called her and at that time, we both were laughing and talking.
But when she called me in the airport, I just couldn't control myself...
I just burst into tears!! I couldn't talk... So, Amma took the phone from me and she started talking with Rahanuma's mom.

And now, they are in India... I can't still believe it...
But I will keep in touch...
I have her India number... So I will call her and plead her mom to take internet connection in India...

I MISS HER SO MUCH!!

I miss all the good times I shared with her, I will miss her calling me everyday and scolding me as I never call her...
I miss her 'kya hua tera vaadha' and the way she gets excited and hyper! I miss her EVERYTHING!!
Its just so bad...
I hope I can see her again, and I know I can and I will.

Vacationzzz

As usual...
Everyone is feeling vacations are BORING!!

The problem is that... everyone is going to India...
Its going to be a little lonely around here now. Can't have hangouts either...
Well... I guess I should go buy some new books. Maybe, go out with my friend, Oshi and buy some.

I'm so excited to go for the movie 'Hunger Games' which is releasing on March 23rd.
But I am not sure if I am going for the movie... I want to.
Today is the second day of my vacations... And it is not SO bad.

Umm... I don't know what to write...
So... Catch you later!!!

Exams Over!!!

WOW!!
Now that was one slow week!!
After all it was exams!!

Papers were not so good but not so bad...
Today was the last exam and it didn't as well as I expected it to go.
Now 26th is Open house!! Oh No..!!

Anyways... today was the last day of 8th grade and I am very sad.
8th grade was one of my best years!!!
I'm so going to miss this year!!!

Drama

Ahh...it's been a long time since I blogged.

There isn't much to tell. Oh...wait! There are things to tell.

Last to last week, Rahanuma was playing Basketball and she fell and sprained her leg. For one week, she had to put the bandage and now, she is wearing a black supporter.

She is fine now...

But, bad news coming!

She is going to India forever!! Before the PTC day itself she is going. Today was the second last day of our this academic year... We don't want to get shuffled or we don't want anyone to leave the school. 

And, I myself, may leave the school this year.

Ahh...forget about that.

Today, we had our Merchant of Venice drama. Not the full drama but a small scene of the drama. Azzah was Portia, I was Nerissa and Neethy was Prince Arragon. Everyone liked it. I guess, we did do a good job as we had only one day to organize everything.

We have been practicing for a long time. But we took a longer break too. So, we weren't so good with our acting. Ma'am announced that our drama is going on stage a bit late. But we did do a good job.


Rama Priya ma'am said it was brilliant! Some other teachers also came and said it was good.
8-C girls told our SST teacher it was awesome!!
We are so proud of ourselves! 

My super Essay!!

We had our CASE exams Sunday (Maths) and Tuesday (Engish).
It was not so bad...but not so good.
There was an argumentative essay to write on the topic "The Art of Letter Writing should be revised".
I wrote a big essay and I don't remember half of the thing that I wrote....But yes, I do remember writing about the Lokpal Bill. I wonder how that came in my head at that time!!

Wednesday, I was going down to the clinic to check on Rahanuma because she fell and sprained her leg in the break. At that time, some 8-C girls came to me and said "Dude! Your essay is just amazing!!! Ma'am loved it so much..!". I didn't believe them cause I thought they were being a bit sarcastic.
I went to the clinic, but Rahanuma had gone home already.
Then I went back to class. So another 'Malavika' in my class came to me and said that Rama Priya Ma'am (english teacher) was searching for me.
I got so scared! I called Megha with me and went down to the lobby, where she was waiting for me. She called me close and gave me a BIG hug! And she said these two line "You made me proud" and "You made my day". OH..! I was so happy to hear that..!! She said my essay was brilliant and she needs a hard copy of it so that she can put it in Zodiac, our school magazine.
Then in class also she praised me. She said my Essay is 'out of this world'. I felt so proud!!

Thursday also she praised me so much in class. She said my essay had the exact format and she was giggling while reading my essay cause it had humorous parts and she didn't correct any other paper for the rest of the time so that she wouldn't spoil her mood.
You see, its not very easy to get a very good appreciation from her.
Not that she is partial or anything...She is an amazing teacher and she knows our capabilities.
She expects that from us. You show your capabilities...she will love you for the rest of her life! 

Glob-ex Results!!

Today, they announced the Glob-Ex results!
We, didn't have so much of hope. Because, our Class Teacher, Blaicy Ma'am, was talking to us like that.
But, don't know why, all of us got a bit of hope in the assembly. We expected a 3rd position at least...

They announced that 7-B got third prize...
Oh No..!! Suddenly all of us became sad... We were saying, If no third prize then nothing at all!
Now, for the Second Prize, Ma'am said "8.........D!!! "
I looked in all four direction and screams "8D, 8D, 8D, 8D!!!!" It was our class!!
I know, we didn't get 1st so I don't need to be so excited but I just couldn't control my self!! I jumped on Neethy and were all clapping and howling so loudly!!!
I guess no other class cheered so loudly. It was because we didn't expect this much!!

1st prize was bagged by 8B...My English teacher's class.
Well, they did deserve it...They were speaking in Spanish it seems...

Anyways, I am really excited about this!!
But....The trophy was a bit small... (?)

So Cold...!!!!!

Papa told me to start reading Newspaper. We can't subscribe for any newspaper. Because, even if we do, we will have to subscribe for 1 year and maybe we won't be here in Dubai, for that long. 

Anyways, Papa said Amma to go out and buy the newspaper everyday...

And today is the second day. I didn't read today as I was little busy. But I did read yesterday.

I read that the temperature in Europe is -30 degree Celsius!! I have no idea how people survive. Speaking of surviving, many people died. About 300 or so. I went and told about this to my classmates. And they were saying they also read about that and in Gulf News, there was a picture in which the a car fully covered with snow!! Here, it's not even a bit close to -30 degree and everyone says it freezing. I guess the Europeans, if they come here, they will be sweating!! In class, no one allows the A/C temperature to be below 22. 

What can I say...it is cold!!

New Ipod

Wow!!
I got my new Apple Ipod Touch!! I am so excited about it!! But the thing is that, I don't get to use it!!
But, whatever it is, I just love it!! I need to get a cover for it.
Anyways, I downloaded Itunes to upload songs to the Ipod. And now, I have all my favorite songs.

Can't wait to show off with it!!
Papa downloaded 'Talking Tom' to my Ipod....Now Amma and Vava, always laughing because of that!
But, have to admit, it is Cute!!

Anyways....have to do some more things to the Ipod...
But, shouldn't waste my time on that...
EXAMS COMING UP!!!

Glob-Ex!!

Today was Ah-Mazing!!!

I mentioned about Glob-Ex in some of the previous posts...Now I'm going to say what it actually is.
Glob-Ex is an exhibition held in our school every year for students from grade 5 to 8. Each class gets a country and we are supposed to represent that particular country in our class in our ow way...Our country was Ireland.
Ireland is a very superstitious country and its where Halloween was originated.
So, Rahanuma and me, were the WITCHES!! It was so much of fun with the face paint!!
I loved the entrance..! We don't have so much of hope for winning. Because, the judges came so unexpectedly that we were not very prepared. But we just don't care as we had loooots of fun!!

The small kids got scared looking at Rahanuma's and my face...!! And it was like as if we got lots of fans..! They jumped onus and were taking pictures!! The worst part was in the bus when everyone was staring at me and screaming!! But I just loved it..! We had dance and we called all the people who came to our class to dance with us...
And the best part was that, we didn't have any choreography for the dance. They just made up some steps and did some kind of dance. But it was again, FUN!! Everyone started calling me a witch!! Hate that..!
Amma got scared looking at me when I came back home..!
Wish I could live that all again or that day never ended!!
This was the best Glob-Ex of all time!!!

An Unexpected Sleep-over...!

I couldn't stay back on Thursday because there were no buses and I didn't bring a letter and as Ma'am said only own transport students can stay back.

But, yesterday, I went to Rahanuma's house to make a model. Hamna also accompanied us. I reached there at 10 : 30 and only planning happened till lunch time. We ate lunch from Rahanuma's cousin's house. Food was really good. Exactly when we were about to leave, Hamna reached Rahanuma's house. She came, and we started doing something. Well, finished it a bit...Now, we just have to spray paint it and stick the main door.

We were listening to songs, talking and doing the model all at the same time. It is so funny to see Rahanuma and her elder sister, Rumaanah fighting!! I just loved the way they fought!!
After a long time, Hamna and I didn't want to leave Rahanuma's house. We called Amma and Papa first. They refused at first, but they said they will call back. Okay..fine...we had hope.
Then, we called Hamna's parents. They allowed her...When she was allowed even I wanted to stay.
Later, Papa and Amma also came to Rahanuma's house. They talked and talked. Then we were about to leave, but, Rahanuma persuaded them ad even I was allowed!! I didn't know what to do.
I mean, it was so unexpected and when I looked at Amma's and Papa's face, I felt sad and didn't want to stay.

But, I wouldn't miss my chance. I stayed. It was so much fun when we went to sleep. Rahanuma's younger sister, Khairah wanted to sleep with us, which of course we won't allow. But we fooled her and slept together. Rumaanah joined us. Then we started talking, talking and TALKING so much!!
I said "Dude, today is a friday, ghosts will come...and its 12 am now! " I knew that won't scare anyone, but I simply said. Rahanuma was so brave, she said " I don't believe in ghosts, and I am not scared. I am very brave." I don't know why, but I looked at Rumaanah, and she signaled me to keep quiet. I got the idea! She was trying to scare us. She was incredibly silent and I couldn't stop laughing. But the others, their tube light didn't flicker. Suddenly from no where Rumaanah jumped up!! WOAH!! All of us got scared!!
It was hilarious! Rahanuma's mom heard the noise ans she came up. She thought someone was crying! We heard the door being open. We all acted as if we were sleeping...Which was not enough to fool her mom...

At last, we slept at 4:00 am in the morning and got up at 7:00 am. Only 3 hours of sleep. Telling the truth, I was very fresh!


Oh...I almost forgot. Today is Rumaanah birthday and Tomorrow, Druti's! 

Nothing Special

Nowadays, nothing special is happening.
We have our ASSET exams going on...English is over.
Tomorrow, we have Maths... Everyone who registered for ASSET wants to get unregistered...!!
Some of us will be staying back tomorrow for GLOB-EX. Even I want to. But, I can't as there is no transportation available. But, I may go with Rahanuma. She said, she can take me to her house, straight from school and then leave me in my house after spending some hours with her!
Hope I can go. I have to ask Papa.
I don't think I can...Maybe on Friday, he,himself will take me there...
Whatever it is, I just want to go!!

A total Mess!!

Today, I had the best fun of my life!!

I was laughing the whole day...!! Especially in the 4th period. Ma'am was absent, but I was doing my English homework. We had to do dialogue writing. It was between two people of our choice talking about Thane cyclone. I finished mine and we were returning from the fire drill trial. My friend, Liya, without me knowing, took my rough book and started reading it aloud!!

I went to snatch it from her and we started fighting. Not with words...it was a fight! And Megha came in between. Someone pushed me and I was on the floor.And Megha was telling I kicked her and she was moaning and laughing. By that time Liya threw it to Rahanuma and she started reading it aloud. My hair was a mess and I jumped through the chairs to reach Rahanuma. She got scared, she screamed and ran. Then I pulled her scarf. So, she threw my rough book to someone else. I went to reach her, but someone came and pulled out my hairband. But she gave it back to me.

At last, I saw my rough book. It was with Megha. I took it and opened it...but there were no pages!! Only the cover of the book she gave me. Then somehow I got my book back, I tore my answer paper and threw it.
But it was so much fun!! We were laughing the whole time and Liya said at last "We wont get cancer now, because we laugh so much!"
Lame, I know!!

First Day

Our vacations got over.
Today, was the first day...I literally forgot about coming to school today morning! But, I didn't miss my bus.
It's been a good day.

English period, Ma'am advised us to not goof around and be very serious in our studies as many exams are going to come like, CASE, Asset and Summative exams.
She also told us to not gossip and not to care about "who ran away with who". Just mind our own business.
What I most liked was when she said ''The person who taught others to gossip should be shot!''

Well, I'm going to take her advise and start hard working. I will complete my home works in school so that I can review and revise at home. In class, we were thinking about making a 'Study Club' in class. Don't know if it will work out...But we got to try...And we will.

2012

I know I'm one day late....but still...

It's new year...!! It's 2012...!
Well, I didn't make any resolution...
But I did make a resolution for the year 2013...It is to watch the movie '2012' and laugh!!!

We saw the fireworks in Burj Khalifa...It was beautiful...!!!
Hope 2012 is going to be a good year...
Well...i just got one resolution...
Papa and Amma told me reduce the amount of "Awesome" I use in my blog...
Even I feel I use lots of "Awesome"s and I'm gonna reduce it.

Once Again..

HAPPY NEW YEAR...!!
