Quite few weeks back, I stumbled on a video on youtube. A documentary on high School
in South korea :
Interesting.....
Well, I only got the gist of South Korea's highschool by reading information available on the net. Basically, their schedules were like this:-
got from (here)

wash the face. Then clean the room and take roll call.

I'm not doing a research on Korean Highschool's life, so I wont get into details on that. It just that when I watched the video, I kinda got myself a super VVIP seat on a private jet plane. Destination: Keireen's HighSchool Day. *Sigh* I miss my highSchool day.
The history went like this...
(1998)At first, I went to a normal public school at SMKJ3. But after a month or so, I've got an offer for the second intake to study at SMKASR (ex-sharodzian here yall!). It's a boarding school. An All Female Boarding School at that!. And I do know that my dad exhale a BIG breath of relief's sigh when I got the offer. Not because I'm an unwanted child to be send away mind you, but because when I was in SMKJ3, I was sooo into the Sleep/Play AfterSchool Club that I barely did any studying. =___= Tho in my defense, those 1 mere month at SMJK3 was a fasting month. A fasting month!. what do you expect? Woke up, took sahur, get ready to school, walk to school, class begin, walk back home. I dont have energy energy left...that's why I took afternoon nap. Besides, the school was just started and I am in my "Re-Adjusting" mode. Kinda..
Anyway, I moved School after Raya Break. Leaving behind my first un-requited love. *Blush*. Ho My.. I still remember after me and my dad took/drop necessary documents at the school's office(SMKJ3), I sit at the backseat in my dad's car, my dad drove off away from the school's parking lot towards the school's exit gate where I saw bunch of late-arriving students lined up while prefect in-charge wrote down their names..... And that's where I last saw him.Sitting on the black-yellow-striped-brick with a solemn face(sleepy face?).....Yep....The picture will forever etched in my Memory Album.My Precious Memory Album ^ V ^
. . . . . . . .
way off topic....... but anyway, I got into my new school and, "Re-adjusting" mode were turned on once again. Anyway, looking back, my schedule and the korean's students schedule, I dont think there's much different. I think..... More or less. I guess... It's highschool...what do you expect? The stress and pressure are always exist among exam takers. But that's another entry altogether...
Below are my school's time table. More or less coz It's been more than 10 years since...........Anyway, I think every boarding school in Malaysia would have this kind of timetable(more or less anyway). Kinda....???
