My School (Entry 3)

A picture of my school.

          I studied at Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Kampung Raja. My school is in a kampung environment. Before arriving at school every morning, I often see paddy fields all along the road. My school is very near to paddy fields and fruit orchards. The paddy fields and orchards belong to the villagers so I often see them working in the field.

          Apart from that, there were always food stalls in front of my school so I often heard people chattering or watching television in front of the school. There were also bell rings from the ice cream truck whenever he went past our school. At recess we often went to the school gate and the ice cream truck would already wait us there. In addition, even though my school is on a kampung, it has always been lively and full of people as it is located on the main roads of our kampung.

          Being in a kampung, my school was not a big school and all the buildings were painted white. Each block only has two floors in each. The building was filled with flower and small shrubs that were placed at the corners of the buildings. I love my school for its beautiful environment and surroundings. There were strict rules against vandalizing school property. I feel like it was necessary and a good move to preserve our beautiful school. My school was always clean and beautiful.

          My school always smelled of fresh air because it was surrounded by nature inside and out. They were rarely any air pollution due to being in a kampung, not much vehicle was present. The student used to get to school by the school bus, riding bicycles or even just walking. Sometimes it would smell like fresh food being cooked due to it being near to the food stalls.

A woman: Oh dear, actually I'm from Indonesia. I came here to visit my aunt. She is critically ill.
Me: I understand your situation and I am willing to help you. Do you have the address of your aunt's house?

A woman: I do have it, here it is.
Me: Your aunt's address is at Kampung Cendana Putra. Listen carefully. First, you must take a taxi from here. Right now, you're at Jalan Tun H. S Lee. Continue going straight until you see a traffic light at the crossroad. Then, turn right and continue straight ahead until you cross the first bridge at Sungai Senja. After you cross the bridge, continue straight ahead and turn left at the T-junction. You will pass Ahmad's Supermarket on your left at Jalan Ihsan.

A woman: That's quite a long way.
Me: Yes of course, because Kampung Cendana Putera is quite far from the town center.

A woman: I just knew about it.
Me: After you pass Ahmad's Supermarket at Jalan Ihsan, turn left and go straight until you cross the second bridge at Sungai Mentari. From there, you'll have to cross some railway lines at Jalan Raja Muda. Afterwards, at the second traffic light, turn left again. To get to Kampung Cendana Putera, you must cross Kampung Tuah. Kampung Tuah is being just before Kampung Cendana Putera. At the entrance of Kampung Cendana Putra, you'll see lots of food stalls. Then you will be sure its Kampung Cendana Putra.

A woman: Thank you for your kindness on giving the directions.
Me: You're welcome.

Me: I hope so too, and I hope you will get to your destination safely.
