Not too long ago, we left the primary school to start a new life in high school..and in the process, be introduced to Add Math, zits and the need for co - curricular marks... but that's beside the point. Just yesterday, three of our group members were given the chance to revisit the place of our childhood (okay so technically we haven't exactly become adults yet but hey, who wants to get technical right?). Entering the primary school was like a walk down memory lane but Rebekah, Lisa and Rachel (that's me!) were not about to be deterred by the fond memories of primary schooling. With one objective in mind, we proceeded to have our first encounter with the Penolong Kanan Hal Ehwal Murid (PKHEM for short) of SK CGL. Gathering our courage, we knocked on the office door.
At first, we had hoped to meet with an ex - teacher because having been a former student, it would have been easy to build rapport. But luck was not with us and the fearsome Ms. Jenny stared us down as we crossed the threshold. Smiling politely (to be truthful I guess we looked kinda nervous) we advanced to her desk only to be greeted with a curt "Yes? What do you want?". Flabbergasted at this crisp greeting, we managed to pull ourselves together enough to mumble incoherently. Thankfully, Rebekah 'came to her senses' and hurriedly started to explain our part in the campaign and what it was all about. As we relayed our purpose and conveyed as best as we could, how the students could be involved in the campaign and how it would greatly benefit the orangutans, Ms. Jenny gradually lost her edge and listened attentively to all we had to say. After we had finished describing the project, the formidable dragon - lady gave us the thumbs up and encouraged us to start campaigning in the primary school A.S.A.P. Lady Luck had apparently smiled on us after all and we left victorious at having overcome another hurdle.
Today, we went to see the primary headmistress not wanting it to seem that we had bypassed her and gone only to see the PKHEM (boy, would that have been a fiasco). We had come at an inopportune time and interrupted an interview. Mercifully, our teacher, Pn. Gan stepped in and did the talking for us. Soon after that, she rejoined us to say that we had the been given the go - ahead from Pn. Mariani. All smiles, we did not hesitate to thank her and returned in haste to our Add Math class.
And thus, we shall be enlightening our younger counterparts about our campaign tomorrow. Being able to involve them will definitely be a major step in our operation.
