TO KNOW IS TO LOVE: Our SAL Room

Update:

We were hung for a moment to have this room done and I'd been spying on the spots, getting ready to get dirty. I lost the photos of this room for the first time we opened the door but yeah, if you can imagine a storeroom full of broken furniture, waiting to be demolished and unattended for like ages, then you can feel me.

The first thing we did was, of course hunting for lifesavers! So we had our ultimate hero, Cik Din (our gifted janitor) as our first hunt and our diligent cleaners to follow after him.

That's Cik Din. ;)

So, here's the process.

We removed all the chairs and desks for painting. as we needed to use oil paints for that furniture, so it had to be done outside, under the sun.

Meanwhile, there's a cleaning session in the room.

We're so blessed that our former headmistress, Puan Zalinah Zubir, had sponsored two air conditioners, as the room would be even hotter especially after 10 a.m.

Pic: That's not Pn Zalinah, but, Pn Zailany, the mastermind ;))

That's Mr.Tony Ng, the boss.

Pic: The installation process was monitored by our Senior Assistants, En Abdul Hadi and En Zaini.

When the ambiance's cool and comfy, then, it's time to fit the rubber mat, so we could...

...fix the curtain.

Pic: Our headmaster, En Hasren sat together to install the curtain hooks. He said he used to do that since he's a small kid :) ) * Sitting on the chair beside him was En Hasmadi, the counselor. Next to me was Faizatul Hanum, a gifted yet talented PPKI teacher who provided 80% of the materials.

We decided to purchase some shoe racks but Cik Din said it was going to cost us more. Instead, he made one nice shoe rack for us.

Then, it's time to get the chairs and desks in.

The Blue Section (Multi-Function Section)

The Green Section ( Listening and IT Section [ PCs are going to be placed here])

The Orange Section ( Reading Section )

Some bookshelves will be fixed here.

We need decorations too, right?

Meanwhile, on the outside...

We also have this outdoor. En Hasren hoped I could let this spot to be utilized for the Story Telling section, but well, we'll see what we're going to do with this.

By the way, those huts were built by Cik Din...All by himself!
