Tunas Puteri In Action
Posted on 2008-Jul-2 at 10:06
Aliya is in Persatuan Tunas Puteri for her co-curicullum activities. It's every Wednesdays like today. The school made her put down three options and slotted pupils in where the school deems fit. Beats me why! I thought that if one has great interest in something, one should be given the chance to explore that. Nope. Not in our schools.
Anyways.
Week 3. She came home or rather I had to pick her up from school after her 4:00pm - 6:00pm Tunas Puteri, proudly announced that they learned how to .. *drum rolls* BRAID their hair. Okay! *brows slightly frowned*
Week 8. The night before Aliya was gathering teaspoons from the kitchen to bring to her Tunas Puteri meeting and guess what they did. Teatime!
Hmmm.
I'm slightly disturbed here. I was in Pengakap i.e. Scouts during my primary years and I went camping, tied knots and cooked mentah rice on fire. And not to mention, learn how to generally survive in the wild. Not that I'd have the slightest chance of surviving it, anyways. But I digress.
Tunas Puteri isn't cheap either. We had to buy the uniform with its many woven stickers and buttons and stuff and all they learn was how to make tea and make braids. Dang! I think they should learn to self-defense or fox jumping or obstacle training or even sing such motivational songs.
Ah well.
