School break means time with the family, family and friends gathering which is a must to keep up with each other and also a time to get myself re-organize (physically, mentally and spiritually). The last day of school was such a drama (there were episodes actually). My school was so busy with Hari Anugerah Cemerlang and of course the TEACHERS had to prepare the pupils weeks before the day for performances. Mine was English Choral Speaking.

Your sites have certainly helped me a lot in generating and expanding my ideas as to adapt it to my school environment. That's all of my current update. InshaAllah I will post some pictures of the room and I really am looking forward for suggestions. Till then.
