Stories My Mother Used To Tell Me

'So when I was in Form Five, right, there was this bunch of girls who were very aksyen (= ostentatious. Even the word ostentatious is ostentatious.) one you know. There were a bunch of them who never wanted to be in my school, but were forced to be there because there was no more space in Main Convent.'

'I remember all these girls lah, coming to school in their Mercedes Benz and all that. They always formed a clique and were always very hidung tinggi (literally, high nose = proud) one, don't layan us one. They never speak to us because they think they're too good to be there in our school.'

'They were very rich lah, so after SPM they all went overseas to continue their studies. Some went to Australia, others went to UK. We had no choice but to stay back here and study locally.'

'I think that's why it's the secret ambition in my heart, you know, to send all of you overseas.'

Oi, don't so stress la, little sis! Don't boil soup from your notes, they make better sardine substitutes for assam laksa fish.

And 155cm is a good height to be - good things come in small packages tra la la la!

Have fun studying. You will miss it once you work. (Not really)

Am sitting in the library now, my only window to the outside world.
I am super duper stressed and wondering whether I should boil my notes and make soup outta them.
This is the kiasu spirit of a Convent girl speaking.
Besides the fact that they were ostentatious, and now produce kiasu girls, don't forget they produce girls with a mean height of 155 cm.
So, Convent girls suck.
Don't send your daughters there.
