The World Maths Day Epidemic @ Cempaka Damansara, Malaysia by Ambassador Alexis L
March 3rd, 2010 | 
Author: It’s your friendly neighborhood Malaysian ambassador here (or just Alexis, really) and here in Cempaka the World Maths Day fever has reached dizzying heights.
I’ll have you know that our Mid-semester examinations were put on hold just for World Maths Day. For two whole days.
Nice, huh?
Well anyway, since the competition officially started we’ve been tapping away nearly non-stop. Right now we’re in the school hall, cluttered together with our laptops, and we’ve been playing and playing and playing and I think by tomorrow we’re all going to go slightly mad, but still we’re quite enjoying the process.
I think I’ll show you the pictures so you know what I mean.
Up onstage we have our own personal scoreboard for keeping track of our highest scorers:
And here are some of them World Maths Day-ing:
Some of us are even staying back in school till seven today and tomorrow to compete. That means 11 whole hours of nothing but World Maths Day.
Can you say Epidemic?
Projected just above us is the official world maths day rankings scoreboard, and we’ve been creeping up slowly to take our favourite places (namely, top and all the ten spots below it). Our sister and brother schools, CILC (cempaka International Ladies College) and the Cheras Campus are also competing alongside us, so watch out for us, the teams from Cempaka schools – aiming for a winning streak for two years in a row.
Till the next post (sometime soon!)

Hi, Alexis.
I am the mom of 7 home schoolers in Maryland, USA. My family is competing in the World Maths Day and having a blast. We were reading your article… while the server is down and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it!
Good job. You can check out my posts with pictures of the kids competing on my blog.
Congratulations and good luck!

@Kevin: We miss you man! Thanks!
@Admin: Yeah, it is. And that’s just the “Team A”s of each year; the members of the “Team B”s are outside in various classrooms!
CEMPAKA WILL BE NUMBER 1 !!!!!
Good Luck guys!!
Ex-cempakan here. Was part of the F3 Team A last year that got second!
Is a pity that i can’t help you guys to smash the record again!
And GOGO Cempaka! You guys can sure sweep the top 5 spot again!
Go Cempaka Damansara!
This is fabulous to see!
I have been in Schools in Singapore this week and they have all noticed the Malaysian Flags and the Cempaka name in the leaderboard. You have put your school and your country on the map in a big way!
Congratulations Alexis!
Seriously, that is amazing. Never seen anything like it.
