My Gurlz Rocks-Night of the soulful princess

After the Hari Guru Peringkat Daerah ends, I drove straight to my grandparents house in Tanjung Gemuk. Feeling a bit sleepy, well I slept at 4.00am the day before, enjoying myself chatting with my friends, I took a nap. Around 4 pm we started our journey back as my parents need to attend a "kenduri arwah" and myself needs to attend a meeting.

I received a sms reminding me about the Srikandi night held on the same night. Yat also called asking either I am going or not. I don't really wanna to attend the meeting so I agreed on attending the Srikandi night. Remembered my students had asked me to dress up, I decided to wear my green baju kurung kedah with a black slack, a green and black scarf tied at the back. Put on some make up (in a hurry). I offered my princess to join me, she quickly agrees as actually she was very sleepy. Even as I put some eyeshadow on her she nearly fell asleep. She also puts on her party dress.
The princess and me

When I arrived at the hall, I was quite surprised, few tables had been rearrange as runaway. Heheheheheheh I knew that there is a beauty competition and it really looks like a beauty pageant set up. Other girls (bigger girls - form 3, 4 and 5) had dress up as well, still in their baju kurung and tudung, they put on make up and they look beautiful. The opening start with a group of girls dancing and at the same time introducing the finalist of the Busana Muslimah Beauty Pageant.

The finalist

Izah (right) won the tittle. She is our head girl!!

We could see their talents and at the same time we could see that they are under extreme pressure. They let them self loose that night and we supported them (well Yat and I do...). Staying in a boarding school is not an easy thing. I remembered my younger days at school, luckily I was in a girls school so we could let ourself loose easily. In a coed school it is totally different and plus this school is more to religion oriented.

Iman...the winner of the singing competition. She's one of my A star students.


The night ended with a hindustan joget lambak. Just after few teachers left, Yat and I joined them. I had the chance to walk on the runway (on the students request) hehehhehehe. I had a great time. Now I know my gurlz rocks!!

ps: I told them, next year they need to add another category/competition... for teachers!!
