Kluang High School Raya Celebration 2013

Posted by Unknown × 08:05

Assalamualaikum and greetings.

It's not too late for me to wish my fellow viewers Salam Eid Mubarak. This year marks the second year I celebrate the Eid as a school teacher in a small district of Kluang, located in the heart of the southern state of Johor. The name of the school is Kluang High School and it's a very renowned school in the district; ask everyone you bump into when you come to Kluang about my school and the initial reaction mostly would be "Ahh, that school..."

Last year's celebration was pretty interesting, as it was my first year in the school and I was just about to get to know the people and the culture. Briefly speaking, the school has the culture of winning in everything, as the motto "STK Always Lead" speaks for itself. Everyone in the school are bending over backwards in making sure the motto is being upheld and well-known all over the district and probably over the state and the country. During that period of getting to know each other, many friends, co-workers and acquaintances have been made, and I believe I have found my second family here.

However, it might be weird for some people as the family that I have found here in this school are built around students. Take a look at this picture for example.

Some would call them students or girls. But, they are my friends, family, and yeah, girlfriends. They called themselves as the 7Pinx...you know, girls with their fondness of the Kpop singers and stuffs. Well, mostly the jambu-looking boybands like the SuJu, EXO, Big Bang, you named it. They have stuck with me together through thick and thin, high and dry. We would go for movies, bowling, karaoke, pizza, your call; we always stick together.

Iqbal and Redzman

These two mischievous boys are my sidekicks, friends and also my basketball duel partners. When others hate them for their previous history, I picked them up, motivated and made sure they stood up high and proud. There are two more sidekicks not in the picture; Alif and Najib, not really sure where they were this time, probably spying on their crushes, haha...

Well, enough with the rambles, just enjoy the pictures!
