It seems like only yesterday that I left that place – since the wonderful memories are still fresh in my brains (mati la another present tense entry tapi disulamselitkan with those what we call – PAST TENSE! Die la bonda!). Yet the true fact is that I’ve left my Mara Junior Science College Balik Pulau, somewhat exactly 10 years ago…


Like I said – 10 years ago (and that is like, woo – 10 years tu! Meaning… yes… boleh la guess kan how old am I skarang ni, kan? LOL!). But the thing is that it is so amazing to know that it has been that long; 10 years, 10 long years, and in between those years, we have now yang dah jadi lawyers, mostly engineers and doctors, ade yang tersesat jadi air steward and showgirls – opps! (notice it’s Showgirl with an ‘s’? Sebab AM NOT the only ex – MRSM yang jadik showgirl tau! Sambil jeling Misyamierul nun jauh di Sarawak – die la u! Hehehe lariiiiiiiiii!) Lecturers, accountants, teachers, pilots, the list goes on actually. But no matter what you are, or what you have become, it all came back to this… ex students will always be ex students, no matter how much you tend to deny that fact. (seriously, the reason why I say such thing is because ade some of these ex-students, tah la – they admit the fact that they were once students of MRSM BP tapi masalahnya they don’t want to get anything to do with it – how ek?)

Personally for me la kan, I have been in contacts with most of my classmates (not all but most) and schoolmates back in MRSM through emails and phones most of the times. As a matter of fact, my ex-classmates, kitaorang dah pernah buat gathering, berapa kali dah ek? Mati la mek dosi lupa dah! Ok there’s once in KLCC back in ’99, once in 2003 just prior before my Miss Universe 2003 pageant, and then sekali lagi kat rumah one of my ex-classmate kat area² Ampang, ek? Tah – am not sure of the area but I definitely remember it was the last gath I attended.

Although we weren’t as close as we were once used to be, still, I’d have to say, the bond, is still there I guess. Time changes people, yes, I agree. But it will never change the memories all of us had when we were once called, MRSM/ MJSC BP students… (mati lah mek persis memberi ikrar Pengakap! – Eh, peNGAkap or peNGANGkap ek? Anyone? HELP!?)

Thanks to certain people outside my own class (ade la a few names, tapi the one name I have to mention here would be Sity Nurul errrr… is it Asyada or Ashada? – Die la me donno how to spell out your real name, gal! Sorry!), for inviting me to be part of the Ex Students Association i.e The Old Boys Society (NOW I really do feel old! LOL!). It all began couple of months back when Sity told me to join the Ex MRSM BP YG thingie and communicate through email. Sure, I guess – what harm can it bring. I’ve been in contact with my ex-classmates all the time. Spreading my wings and get to know my other schoolmates, dormmates, won’t hurt me I guess. Hehehe… So anyways, being part of the group of ex-students in one thing, but later, to be part of the committee for the ‘After 10 Years; The Reunion’ thingie -  that was like, “Owh wow – I AM important after all” LOL! Gosh – dumb blonde sangat! LOL!

I’ve been receiving emails day by day from these group and at times memang seronok reading email diaorang ni (mati la mek memula never participate in the group email!). And then when 2006 menjelma (kenapa tetiber when I typed the word ‘menjelma’ mek feeling Hari Raya ek?), mula la kecoh here and there about the gathering/ reunion selepas 10 years! (and suddenly me teringat – ade ke idak session menanam khazan peribadi setiap pelajar and akan digali bali selepas 10 years? Hmmmmmm… mek dosi lupa on that one! LOL!) And that’s when tetiber my name naik to jadi committee and specifically under the dinner and shows agenda. LOL! Honored, truly honored and at the same time, excited giler!

Emails after emails, meetings after meetings held back in KL (in which I didn’t attend any of it la kan of course), and after loads of discussions katanye, they (the committee) have come to a decision, February 25th, 2006 – diaorang nak datang MRSM BP and buat a small committee meeting katanya. And I was invited (suddenly, I feel like Cinderella… cam mana? Minus the step mother and step sisters and the fairy god mother of course! LOL!). I was really looking forward to it – I mean, let’s face it – after 10 years, meetin’ ‘em back, in MRSM – aiyoh! Seronok sangat!

And so after days of waiting, nah – February 25th menjelma tiba (AGAIN mek tetiber feeling Hari Raya – that word ‘menjelma’ memang sesuatuh la…). Diaorang (the committee members from KL mostly) drove all the way from KL malam 24th tu, and me jumpa dulu those yang duduk Utara on that day (ceh – sapo yang mek jumpa? Sah sah dua org sajork, and the rest mek jumpa on February 25h tu itself – LOL!)

26th morning tu, aturcara was supposed to be – 9.30am, berjumpa di Maktab. ADO? NAN ADO! 9.30am katanya kami jumpa for breakfast in Bukit Jambul area. LOL! And it was such a wonderful feeling to jumpa these peeps – Ustazah (gelaran kitaorang panggil this girl, although her current profession bukannye Ustazah pong! LOL!), Syita, (plus her friend), and Ameng (with the wife), Faiz (also with the wife), Kit, Pechai, Fahmi (whose wife joined in later), Rizal (who came with me), A-an (who apparently tak dapat join sebab had to go to Taiping) – hurmmm who else ek? Tu jer la kan? Ade me left out any names? Tak kot rasanya…

After breakfast kitaorang proceed terus ke BP ikut jalan Relau. The journey took us another 20 minutes or so (the way Syita and me drove, kitaorang sampai within 15 minutes sajork kot) through the steep hill and winding roads, across hutan tah pa per. And by the time our cars masuk Pekan Kongsi, just before making a left turn masuk ke Pondok Upeh area, our cars slowed down, and smiles automatically terukir on each faces. Yeap – memories. Although dah nampak banyak perubahan and perbezaan here and there, still – banyak things yang masih remained as it was once before. The road heading towards MRSM, the mosque, the houses around – semuaya masih sama… Thank God Rizal and me tak nangis dalam kereta. LOL!

And by the time kitaorang sampai depan entrance MRSM – lain jer feelingnye. It’s hard to explain with words, but it was definitely different. Gembira bercampur teruja?

As we moved masuk ke MRSM and menuju ke area foyer, kitaorang can see students everywhere (well, obviously since it was a Saturday and most students will be around kalau tak outing, kan?) Nampak gaya cam banyak student perempuan. Could it be students lelaki semua outing? UPSET!!!! Hiks! But upset mek sekejaps jer when later I found out that nan ado students yang outing, except kalau parents datang bertandang and bring them out. Sweet – but it’s like so ultimately different dari time kitaorang dulu. Well anyways am here not to dwell perbezaan dulu dan skarang sangat. Hmmm – abih tu am here for what ek? *Garu² dagu… hiks!*

So anyways kan… we met one of our P.E teacher dulu, Encik Ismail (er… kan?) who so happens to jadik Penolong Pengetua now. (err… kan?) Aiyoh! Die la me donno facts! LOL! After a quick tour around, we had our meetings and what not (tak perlu la me kecohkan pasal content meeting tu. Bukannye tak der ex-MRSM BP students yang membaca blog ni. Kang kalau mek reveal in here, silap² diaorang baca, dahhh pecah lobang. Dah tu, confirm committee members ketuk kepala mek! LARI!)

We were there like for the whole day rasanya – sempat tour the whole area. True, banyak berbeza dari dulu. Namun, masih ade bende² yang tetap sama. At first I was like thinking – was it me, or memang betul the place has gotten bigger? LOL! Sempat jugak me and Rizal and the rest pusing² area dorm. Which I apparently prefer the old dorm. Walaupun temanya nowadays the dorm looked somewhat newer and ‘whiter’… hehehe – still, the old style definitely defines the word DORM. Nowadays, the dorms all semua nampak cam ward hospital sajork! Seriously!

The whole day sana – tak banyak kami jumpa cikgu² lama. Most of them either transferred ke sekolah or MRSM cawangan lain, ataupun they’ve retired ke ape ke. Owh and we had our lunch kat Cafeteria also – the place I used to had most of my meals (yer yer, I skipped meals kat Dewan Selera – hehehe!) Guess what? The Mak Cik and Pak Cik yang runs the café – masih sama!!! Although the Mak Cik wasn’t around la kan since she went to this kenduri or something. The Pak Cik was there, but I doubt he remembered me, the student yang always makan nasi goreng with bawang! LOL!

Snappy² pics pong a lot – as you can see la kan! I think the only purpose of this entry is to show pics yang dah mek snappy² I think? Owh well – whatever it is, mek had fun during the meeting/ small gath thingie.


I was close with Ustazah, Syita, Rizal, Fahmi… Pechai, Kit, Faez, Ameng – although kite kenal back then but I doubt we were as this close and friendly, KAN!? Hehehe – enjoyed every bit of the moment bermeeting dan bertekak dengan korang during the meeting! LOL! And am REALLY looking forward for the “ONE NIGHT ONLY” Reunion thingie – AIYOH! Could that be the night’s name!? Hehehe…
