9 Things All M’sians Will Remember From Their Year-End ‘Cuti Sekolah’ Days

Ang moh people have their summer breaks, but we Malaysians have our year-end cuti sekolah, which is pretty lit too! If you remember those days, it was during this entire month each year that we got to sleep in and do things we don’t normally do on school days. It was a great time to be alive! And because we got to enjoy this holiday at the end of every year while we were in primary and secondary school, we obviously made some pretty good (and some not-so-good) memories. Here are some you might remember:

1. Getting bored out of our minds after just the third day of cuti

We love our holidays and being able to sleep in but it can get quite boring at home when you have nothing to do and nowhere to go. Sometimes, we would get so bored to the point where we would throw a huge tantrum.

2. When our parents signed us up for extra tuition classes

Especially when a major exam would be coming up the following year, there was no way we could run from these extra tuition classes. What a waste of our holidays. </3

3. Being glued to Astro all day, every day just watching Disney cartoons

This is why our parents had to sign us up for extra tuition classes…

Can you blame us though? This was one of the only things we could do at home since our parents didn’t let us go out that often.

4. Begging our parents to let us visit our friend’s place

Holidays are always more fun with friends around, and when we were younger, that was all we wanted to do. Spend time with friends, and play hide-and-seek or ice-and-fire 24/7.

5. Deciding that we’re going to be productive and do a bunch of productive things but it never happens

We often told ourselves we’ll finish reading that book, or pick up a new hobby like calligraphy, but it almost never happens.And then when school starts again, that’s when we actually try picking up that new hobby but then we complain that classes are getting in the way. Padahal, it’s our fault for not doing anything during our time off.

6. Visiting bookshops to buy next year’s workbooks and buku latihan

Shopping is fun and everything but not when you’re buying workbooks for next year.

7. Getting so bored that we start rummaging through our parents’ stuff

We looked for anything that intrigued us: Fancy clothes, heels, make-up, hair gel, you name it. Holidays were so incredibly boring that it made some of us want to “explore” new things, like our mum’s cosmetics, for instance. Bad idea, bad, baaad idea.

8. That tragic moment when we saw “balik sekolah” uniforms and shoes on sale

That’s when you know that your holiday is coming to an end. It goes without saying that this was easily the worst part of every single one of our year-end holidays.

9. Christmas!
