MALIVANI II

By
 
 
 
Today it wasn't normal at my house. It was the D day. My day. My bags packed with my NEW everything and a wooden 'box' as the school requested.
 
And there I was, making faces to my brother, laughing at him that he didn't have any new things as I had.
He just starred as if to say "woiye baby sis I just wish you knew what awaits you"
But I didn't care, I was going to UKAMBANI school, with my new SHOES. I'm going to beat them all in exam, those kamba kids. Exam results was my pride, more so in Mathematics. So I'm going to show them. I kept telling myself.
 
 
The whole ride from Wote town, where I put on my NEW uniform on, was silent. Not one word was spoken. We all kept our thoughts to ourselves until we came to a stop.
That's when I realised we were parked outside the school's gate. I turned to my parents just to confirm they are going to sleep in the school compound too and they did. Bingo! I had totally nothing to worry about.
 
BETTER YOUR BEST the school motto
 
 
I felt a rush of excitement as we pulled into the parking stall. I then grabbed my luggage quicker than you could say kangaroo and headed towards the school.
We walked towards the school and I was impressed. The school was a square shape and huge. The dorms were separate from the classes. They had some beautiful well done green grass on say projected areas, I think for learning purposes. There were maps on it. Made of clay.
And so I realised it's then that I was having a good look at the school than earlier when I had come for the interview.
 
 
We headed towards the Administration block.
A plump lady in a blue dress stood at the front desk. She was the school matron. She packed out my belongings for inspection to confirm I had everything intact.
After a short chit chat at the headmaster's office, he handed me to the school matron as my parents bid me goodbye remaining behind. It didn't add up to me as I knew I'd see them later.
 
 
I was taken to the dormitory and introduced to my new bed. Crap! I only knew of double deckers but these were triple ones!!! How did the centre one manage? None of my business though since I was given the bottom one. At a corner.
She then took me to my class. I sat at the very behind desk. With a boy! This sitting arrangement though. His name? Kariuki. Phewx! Kumbe not all of them were kambas. Good thing. I thought to myself.
 
 
A bell rang and it was the supper time where i didn't bother myself as I was already full from my usual, fries.
Back to class for night preps that ended at 9.00pm, which I cannot account for.
 
 
I went to the school matron. "I want to wish my parents goodnight now before I go to sleep."
Ha ha ha! Please lemme just laugh here. Say goodnight to my folks? In person? At a boarding school? In UKAMBANI? Did I even understand the whole concept about boarding schools?

Her face went blurr for a second then murmered something like, "nikanaata na kana kaa mbaituni?!"
You wonder why i remember? Because I'm KAMBA too.
 
 
SASA KUMEKUCHA!!!

how cute the grass looks

DRY WINE

By
When someone tells you they are experiencing dry spell, it simply means they have just realized they haven't had sex in a while and want to change that probably because they think you are the best option they could have.  So run, and run fast. Well, unless you want to hit or be hit by it. Haha!  Well well well, public opinion is extremely a mutable thing. we can go out to feel pretty We all know that you are most likely to meet people through friends and friends of friends and that you also have to get yourself out there. we could choose to go with our boyfriends But bars and clubs seems to offer a better chance of getting noticed, flirting and touching to build sexual attraction more so short - term sexual goals. By the way, Would you get yourself into a relationship with someone you met in the club? Actually, I'd say you are too judgmental if you consider all the girls in the club to be sluts. ...

CURE TO MY SMALL POX

By
I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had small pox. My second semester in campus and it is all the time I needed to know the class genius or as you may please chopii, the party animals,  the know-it all, back-benchers, class representatives, mean lecturers, dean of students (this one I knew since my day one, keep your dean of students close cause you never know...you might graduate with first class honors without knowing it haha!) , entertainment arena, the lecture halls, master the timetable, master my students' registration number and master the art of smiling. - Yes, smiling. I believe smiling can get you anything. So I get to interact with some students and filtered out some to form a study group to help with the assignments and discuss on "tough" units. Here, they have CCTV cameras in the examination halls. Okay,not functioning ones. But wait, why incur such an expense in installation? So Yes, very much functioning ones. But ...

WORKPLACE LIFE

By
You spend most of your life at work. It is therefore better to be positive and friendly and enjoy working with those around you than being negative and dislike your co - workers. Positive relationships help you become happier in life, you also feel and act more positive. THE BETTER OUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE AT WORK,THE HAPPIER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE WE ARE GOING TO BE. Make sure you are not inadvertently making your office mate crazy with your personal habits. for instance, some people need to work in complete silence while others enjoy background music. It is important to understand and respect others for betterment of good working conditions. BE KIND: In your free minute or during your short break, engage with your colleagues and see if they need help with anything. They will definitely, at one point, reciprocate and thus improve your working environment. If you make an error, do not be quick to blame it on someone else or try to hide it. Acknowledge your mistake and m...
