CNY Holidays Activities

Assalamualaikum...

How's your Chinese New Year (CNY) Holidays spent? It's a 7 days of holidays and there are a lot of things can be done within that 7 days. Mine could be called a "semi-holidays". Hahaha. By looking at the word, I think you'll understand what it meant.

Softball Training
Since the tournament is this coming Tuesday (31 Jan.), the school softball team was having our training session on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. We spent about 3 - 4 hours in every training session to ensure our fitness and readiness to face challengers from other schools and retain our championship that we had last year.As a defending champion for this year, we ought to put a good fight in both categories, boys and girls. Therefore, any gaffe is not an excuse for us.

Even it was raining during most of the training hours, I was still getting darker. That was when I realized that it is not the hot makes us dark but the sun rays.

Camping
22 - 24 Jan., Scouts Movement of Kuhara High was holding an orientation camp for the new members. There were about 90 participants camped in the Kuhara High School Field. I spent two nights sleeping in my 'bungalow' tent peacefully. This yearly event was really meaningful and nostalgic for me as I was also once a new scout and I always remember my first camp.

What was special about the camp this year is, we had a 'free firework show' on the first night because it was the eve of CNY. About midnight, we were surrounded by the glimpsing fireworks. Since we were camping on the field, we could see every fireworks fired from some housing areas nearby the school area.

Weddings
I attended 2 wedding receptions. Mr. Ahmad Fairuz and Mrs. Fakhriyah's reception and Mr. Nasaruddin and Mrs. Masliani's reception. Both newly wed were looked astounding. I wish the marriage will be last forever and brings happiness in their life.
That was how my CNY holidays mostly spent. Other that those above, I spent most of my time at home. In front of this computer, I did a lot of web browsing for information, FB-ing, playing DoTA and Ninja-RPG and reading my students' blogs. How about your holiday? Till tomorrow then...
