Transience

The third and final installment of the Lambda Saga. yes, those trying times of PMR. Most of the previous Lambda boys have moved out, Yusri, Zaaim, Izzat and Afiq Cipop have all gone to Alpha, Adib, Zul cool, che asim went to Beta. So, Amin, and Pikem rejoined us. Dani and Faiz Ezani as well, and the rest remained the same. At the beginning of the year, I was still getting used to the fact that Alia has gone to New Zealand, she wasn't with us, anymore. I volunteered to shop for class decoration items, I was like so enthusiastic at that time, and all the decorations were planned with Amin and Che Dah. I remembered staying back in class in the afternoons, not just to practice my public speaking, but also to decorate the class. We had to cut out sunflower petals from yellow paper and stick them to black disks. Then these sunflowers will then be stuck onto the walls. It was a lot of fun, and satisfying to see the results. Our rivals at that time was Delta and Alpha. that year,...

Well, it has been a few days since I last blogged, lost the mood to do so, and I have been a bit busy. The Sime Darby interview was alright. I made it past the group interview, but wasn't sure how I did for the online assessment, people have been asking me how it was, and I tire of explaining it. haha So, anyaway, today's post is about 2 Lambda. This was known as the Gorgon Era. Why? because there was this group of girls who were so tight, and they did the craziest things together, some of which sometimes teetered on the thin line between the Law and Outlawed, or are just plain loud. At that time, the girls were divided into two groups, the Goody-two-shoes, and the Gorgons. For the record, I belonged to neither, I was a lot closer to the Gorgons, although I did not participate in their escapades, well, (sometimes I did), because I was close to Alia and sat next to her. They earned the title due to a group of Form Five boys, who later we called 'power rangers...

I was just reminiscing on the times I was an emcee. Well, I had lots of experience emceeing, until I got tired of it. The prefects had to be emcees for the roll call and for special events, I couldn't remember when I was first emceeing. There was also one year, when it always had to be me who was to read out the Word Of The Day, and make announcements of essay competitions. I'm sure people were bored of me. the first time I went on the roll call stage was for the Brainstorming Slot (now the Public Speaking Slot) in Form two. can't remember what I spoke about. I had Brainstorming Slot twice this year, once for the debaters 'special'' on Sunday, and another for the spontaneous speech at the roll call. My Sunday brainstorming slot caused a bit of a controversy, because the principal, KJ heard me wrong. I was being my honest self, going on about I can't wait to leave the school, but even so I had many precious memories to leave behind. So, I was kind of praisi...

I haven't much pictures from this class, I have yet to have a camera of my own at that time. I actually felt bad about my previous post because in a way, it is a bit like badmouthing people, but I tell it as it is, that is what I feel and what I think, and yes, this is a place to vent, but bear in mind, they're not really bad people la. So today, I'm going to post about 1 Lambda . Brace yourself, it’s another long one. It all began when one fine day during the mid-year school holidays, my ma said that pa could get me a space at SMS Kelantan, yep, that was what she said. It was about a few weeks after my grandfather died. So, at that time, I was already comfortable at Seri Keramat, and I never thought of moving away, because I gave up hope on getting into a boarding school, and yes, Kelantan was far away, and I'm a little intimidated by their dialect, culture and fitting in. yeah, I know, anywhere I go, I'm always the oddball, but the initial bit of introducing...

Alphanz refers to the class of 4 Alpha and 5 Alpha. For three years I have stayed in Lambda with the same girls, and for the next two years I have stayed with the same girls and the same boys. Yep, of course Alpha was less eventful, and MORE QUIET than Lambda. I can swear ever since Form one, the Alpha class has its reputation for its quietness, and the only sound heard was the fan spinning. If you were in that class, not studying was a crime. With that reputation, people were often afraid or uncomfortable to go to this class. Yes, I was in that class for two of the final years. Thank God for Muja and Hanani who were the 'louder' bunch. I really enjoyed when the tables was arranged in groups in 5 Alpha, me, Hanani, Muja, Jannah, Nora and Amy were grouped together, and we called ourselves 'Block Kewangan' because Amy was the treasurer. At first, when I entered 4 Alpha, God dammit. I HATE that class very much. It was too quiet, and I hated the boys because they though...

I don't bother elaborating much, besides if it were an individual post, it would be too short. Otherwise, I'm just too lazy to elaborate, it would definitely sound report-ish since I'm not really emotionally attached much to the events that follow. Damn delayed post if you ask me. First up is the collaboration with MARA PC on Biology phase 1. Next is phase 2 next picture is from the discussion with Syed Putra. God, there were so many discussions, especially during my time as a prefect. I got so sick and tired of it! p/s: I'm trying out the new updated blog post editor, so it my posts may not look as pretty because I'm still getiing used to it, but man I love the huge-sized pictures, although it does make the page look a bit crowded. hmm..

This is post number 188. I first started this blog after UPSR, well, actually my dad made it for me, and it was called Nana's World. Back then, it was filled with self-written poems of innocent issues, and fully in proper English. It had no pictures, because I haven't got a camera then, and the layout was the green Mr. Motto blogger template. I can't imagine how people can get bored with their blogs, I totally love blogging, sometimes I want people to read my posts, while some other times, I just need a place to vent, or to share stuff so I don't forget. I wonder how long will I be keeping this blog. God knows. Will I delete it someday?...oh no...never Anyway, today's post is about.... the SPM days hahahha...no, 'm not going to write about the exams, that's the stressful bit, that is, when I'm doing the exam, and right after the exam, otherwise, it's kind of relaxed. No kids around, no duties, and prep is optional if there are no teachers, well, I ma...

One of the few times we get to experience temporary 'parole' to get a breather, after weeks of homework and classes. Usual destinations: the red cybercafe or Pantai Timur in Pengkalan Chepa, or a walk around KB, the new Parkson recently opened, but it's nothing short of another lepak area, very similar to KB Mall, and a lot of creeps hanging about. I've rarely missed any outing chances, and during Cikgu Abdullah's time, asking for outing is very common among students, even if it was just for no reason, I do it a few times, yeah, I know, that's like 'salah guna' kelebihan, but well, that was then, way back in 2005, 2006. In Form Five and Form Four, I didn't even dare volunteer to go outing to buy stuff for any special events, may it be for class decorations, or for KOT, for that matter, although I was forced to go outing once for KOT. The usual attire would be the blue batik, the get-up that most of our students loathe because it was, I guess, kind of...

Jejak Cemerlang, or Majlis Restu Ilmu, whatever you want to call it, it took place at Renaissance Hotel on the 15th of November 2009, three days before SPM. So, we weren't suppose to be caught up in the festivities. The food was great, mainly because I was hungry, but it was a bit on the sweet side, cepat muak . Performances were great, unexpectedly, although we faced many problems in getting the show on the road. Omar sang Miley Cyrus's The Climb, Kappa and Gamma-Delta came up with sajak, each in their own style, featuring Amin, Ada for Kappa and Nizar, Nani, Faiqah, Suni, Hajar, Sunatrah and Eti. The Gamma-Delta sajak left us in stitches. Alpha-Beta came up with a drama featuring Nora and Aman as the leads. The director, Izzat said that it was inspired by Freaky Friday. So anyway, for the event, me, Lukman, Syau, and Aiman were put in charge of the slide show. We did our work in three hectic days, the show was short, but luckily we made it, all thanks to Lukman, who's the...

This is Sensei Ahmad, the new PK Ko. watch out if you're wearing selipar jepun, he'll be out to get you. Well, raya celebrations have always been boring at school. Nothing much going on, just sweating it out in the hot hot crowded hall, listening to speeches and a few performances, and then we eat mostly raya cookies, and are then left to roam about, taking pictures. Sadly, my camera was broken. Sob, sob. These were from other people's cameras. Anyhow, end of post for raya. More to come. =)

well, this is one of those bittersweet moments I've ever had in Faris. brace yourself for a LONG one. For one thing, I was never given any posting at all during my primary school, and certainly not as a prefect. I was a prefect in Form 3, and due to that, I had to forfeit two postings: one as the ahli lembaga koperasi, and secondly as the school librarian, a posting which I coveted so much! Truth be told, I felt like a miss fit. I didn't belong in prefects, and I wasn't suppose to be one. The story goes like this........... hurm... It all began before Muja, Me, Syakir, Nafis, Aiman and Afiq left for the KWN finals in Form 2. Cikgu Paridah called me in secret, after she was done with all the interviews with the Form 1 prefect candidates. She asked me wether I wanted to be one, and of course, I said yes, although I knew the 'risks' of being a prefect. I may not live the life I had, but I was desperate to get out of my old dorm, to be getting an extra credit. However, ...
