Please answer the question.

Assalamualaikum,

Well, a year has passed and where in the world are we now guys? (you know the questions are asked especially to SPM 2010 mainly from MJSC KKB). For most of us, yang ambil SPM 9 subjects and science stream lah kan, 8th December 2010 was the last day in school dengan mengharungi Bio paper 1, 2 and 3. Then kita semua get ready to say goodbye and farewell to all of our memories together in the school. For most of us, 5 years. Living in boarding school is a great difference than hidup budak kementerian pelajar sekolah harian. They don't get to feel the bond that we created among us for years and years. 



You know, parents can only know what you are telling them or what've they heard somewhere. The teachers knows what they have been observing and listening. Kinda like the kids that grows up in front of your very own eyes. But these kids, now a young adult, spent a whole lot greater deal of time with you. Yelah, bayangkan. Bila bangun dari tidur, the first one you see is not your family or your teachers (well sometimes wardens yang kita nampak dulu. Dengan rotan di tangan. sebab kita bangun lambat) but your friends. 

And it's kinda normal to think for their kebajikan as well. Kita akan kejut mereka bangun tidur dan berusaha sehingga berjaya, then pergi siap-siap, keep in mind all the time in the bathroom you see a lot of them too. Then, kita akan go to breakfast (if sempat), then pergi roll call, then naik atas ke kelas untuk tunggu teachers (sebab kelas kat MRSM KKB atas bukit). During all that time, the one we cari first thing in the morning are our best friends, then we talked and talked and talked sampai berpisah went we need to go to class. Imagine that when you are living with your family, especially dalam big bathroom like we went to. Seriously, no one is singing out loud when you are in the shower; tak payah tunggu turn kat sink; tak perlu risau bila keluar dari shower, friends gonna smack your back with a handful of sabun.

Tak cerita lagi bila kat kelas you get to see all the girls, then turun minum pagi, potong line or beratur ikut peraturan (well, coz  makan free and normally orang tak eat breakfast), beli addtional food di koperasi, naik balik kelas and then segera berlari nak lunch cepat just so that boleh tidur kejap before prep. Then naik atas again (after kawan kejut and mandi) and buat homework or ada C.O.S., then turun bawah and go straight to room, tukar baju and hangout. Then makan malam (kalau rajin or lapar gila!), then mandi and go to surau for compulsory Maghrib and Isya' prayer. Lepas tu prep malam. Speaking of prep malam, kalau ada pengumuman prep malam dibatalkan.... MEMANG HAVEN

Well, I'm thinking of the baju we guys wore during those time. Baju kolar tucked-in and slacks and kasut, baju melayu with or without butang and slacks and sandals, and bags yang pakai pagi petang siang malam. Gosh! I missed those days!!

Now, we come again to my first question: Where are we now guys? Are we still the same guys yang main-main masa buat experiments? Are we still the same guys yang go to teachers' lounge just nak aircond or nak jumpa dengan cikgu to ask question or just nak berborak? Are we still the same guys yang pagi petang siang malam carry the same burden and running to the same goal nak kan yang terbaik for big examinations? Are we the same caring friend yang tolong kejut, tapau makanan from DS, amik buah lebih, celup gelas dalam tong air, minta kuah lebih and things like that? If we are not, where are we now guys?

Kat mana mentaliti kita sekarang? Masih inginkan keseronokan dan kebebasan macam yang kita nak time F5 dulu? Masih berada di tahap yang sama dengan ilmu yang kita dah gain selama 5 years in high school? Take Bio for example. Ilmu yang kita tungkus-lumus belajar dulu tu, masih di tahap yang sama... atau dah berkurang? BM, kita masih berusaha nak buat karangan dengan bahasa bombastic dan idea bernas? Do we really care dengan ilmu yang pernah kita gain? Kita pakai tak? Apply tak dalam hidup sekarang? Itu belum cerita dengan ilmu yang kita gain lepas SPM. Ada kita tambah ilmu Physics, like on radio active dacay, and whatsoever just to make sure dia tak hilang? Ada kita bercerita mengenai Kerajaan Agraria and Kerajaan Maritim yang kita belajar time lower form and upper form? Ada?

How about our devotion to Islam or your devotion towards your own belief? Time nak ambil SPM dulu, solat berusaha tak tinggal, siap solat sunat hajat and rawatib bagai. Puasa Isnin Khamis kalau boleh. Baca Al-Quran at least 3 pages a day. Baca doa before belajar (siap meaning and pujian kepada Allah and Rasulullah lagi). Give greetings and say thank you to yur teachers or lecturers whenever they come in or go out. Baca Asma' Al-Husna pagi-pagi. Sebelum masuk dewan peperiksaan, baca doa. Bila nak langkah masuk, langkah kaki kanan and tawakal. Ada kita buat lagi hari ni? Ada kita buat semua tu? or ada, at least, kita still buat most of them? Ada?

So again, where are we now guys?

Finally! An Update.

Assalamualaikum,

Masya-Allah! Setelah 3 bulan blog ini tidak berpenghuni (bukan dari segi ada orang jenguk atau tidak) akhirnya malam ni muncul post baru yang tak seberapa. Basically semuanya sebab Fatin Nazirah Asnan punya kerja. Habis dia post pasal kucing kat blog dia and aku pun rasa macam nak ikut juga menulis. And actually, aku dah tak berapa ingat macam mana style aku menulis dalam blog ni dulu (boleh je study balik kan?).Masalahnya aku malas So, kalau cara aku menulis dalam post ni dan dalam post-post yang akan datang itu berbeza dengan cara dan gaya aku punya post yang dulu-dulu, sorry lah ya.

So, basically, aku sedar aku mula tak ber-blogging sejak aku masuk Institut Pengajian Tinggi (IPT). Kalau ikut hasrat hati waktu nak masuk bulan Julai dulu tu... memang nak je aku tulis di Facebook dan kat sini. Namun, disebabkan aku nak berahsia dari seseorang ni, jadi tidaklah aku beritahu exactly how my life was like at that moment. And aku tidak mahu pula bercerita mengenai apa yang aku ambil dan bagaimana perjalanan hidup aku mengharunginya secara terbuka dan terang-terangan di sini, atas harapan untuk membiarkan dia tertanya-tanya. Aku pun dah penat dengan fact bahawa dia tahu kehidupan aku tetapi aku tak tahu kehidupan dia. Satu, benda tu tak adil. Dua, tak pula aku sibuk nak minta tahu macam-macam.

Maafkan aku kalau post kali ini tak went viral atau bukanlah post yang menarik minat anda untuk bertandang ke blog saya lagi lepas ni. But, just to clear things up, actually there are a lot of things that I always wanted to post in here. Like literally a lot! I've been jotting down tittles of the posts and made mental mind maps about what am I going to write... but procastination took over. So, here I am, giving an excuse to my readers. Punya lah lama dan banyak tajuk-tajuk, sampai aku dah lupa tajuk itu untuk apa dan tajuk ni untuk apa. 

Briefly about my life for the past 5 months, aku sekarang hidup bersama satu kelompok rakan-rakan yang begitu diversed. You see, when I am in MJSC KKB, they are all the ones that I have and get. But once I was out (not neglecting the fact that I  have been missing them so much for the first 6 months after SPM), aku dah TERluaskan aku punya circle of friends. TER ya, not intentionally... rasanya lah.

Today, aku ada friends from Sabah because of PLKN. Tak kisah lah I made more Sabahan friends than Peninsular friends ke tidak (which means aku tak ramai kawan PLKN kat Semenanjung. Kalau ada outing ke apa ke di KL, fat chance lah aku diajak). But having Sabahan friends are great! Baru-baru ni, I got the chance untuk bawa two of my Sabahan friends yang ketika ini tengah study kat KL and Shah Alam naik roller coaster. That was their first time and I hoped they are looking forward to naik other roller coasters after this.

Today, aku ada banyak friends dari Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK). It is interesting to get to know them really. Yelah, selama ini aku duduk dalam MRSM where the students consists of boys and girls, but being MCKK students, semua orang tahu mereka ini hidup lebih 2 tahun dengan boys only (well, that sounded so wrong). Lebih-lebih lagi MCKK tu boarding school. So, to get to know their lives dalam MCKK memang best. Infact, En. Shafie (Ahmad Firdaus's dad) did mention something like "Budak-budak MCKK ni bagus untuk buat contacts when you dah grown up. Because mostly, diorang lah yang pegang company-company kat Malaysia ni", when we came to rumah Ahmad Firdaus untuk dinner or something a while ago.

Today, aku ada friends dari latar belakang yang unik dan asing dalam kehidupan aku. Aku pun tak sure macam mana aku boleh jadi friends dengan mereka ni. Maybe sebab duduk sebelah dalam kelas; or maybe sebab dia jenis yang paling bising dalam kelas (which means dia must be opening up to us, which made everything a lot easier); or maybe mereka memang jenis yang suits aku. Right now, I am happy to have a friend yang macam Azlan Zainal Abidin but a little bit naïve which is good sebab that means dia belum rosak and I hope he'd still be that way; I have a friend yang rupa dia macam Misha Omar (but my sister kata muka macam MatLuthfi90) yang mampu mendengar dan menerima macam-macam tanpa giving the slightest clue yang dia mengalami kesusahan..... until the very end; I have a friend yang a bit slow in action and reacting but dia suka smile... and everyone suka someone yang suka smile kan? So lantaklah dia a bit (just a bit ya) slow in reacting ke.. apa ke.. as long as dia senyum, everything should be fine.

I know those paragraph sounded weird. Well, aku bukan jenis yang meng-approach orang untuk buat kawan. But to have the chance to know them right now is great! Banyak yang aku belajar and banyak memories aku aku share dengan mereka ni. 

Aku juga dah banyak buat kerja-kerja production short video which all of them are music videos. Biasanya aku tukang arah-arah orang (nampak sangat yang aku ni bossy dan bajet bagus), pegang camera (sebab aku nak capture apa yang aku envision) dan sometimes buat video editing . Kalau nak tengok my videos, boleh buka Youtube and cari TheRyuuYamashita or click di sini dan tengok. And I helped making another 4 videos actually. Satu for pertandingan di IPT (which ada conspiracy theory kenapa kami tak menang), satu for my group punya music video untuk Oral Communication (OC) class, satu I helped this other group for their OC and satu  for extra credit music video for OC. Semua boleh tengok di Youtube.

So, dengan kehidupan di hujung tahun ni, I really understand apa yang budak-budak Form 5 rasa. So I'll be posting some tips and advices from my point of view in certain things macam PLKN, scholarships, interviews and life after those. Hopefully lah kan. And I'll be updating you guys about my life more kot, atas sebab-sebab yang bakal saya terangkan satu hari nanti. So, basically this is it. To those yang keep checking my blog sepanjang 3 bulan hoping to find a new post, terima kasih banyak-banyak sebab anda sanggup check my blog walau tiada apa-apa pun. To those yang baru jenguk-jenguk, welcome and I hope you can explore my writings and my blog sebab ada tabs kat atas tu yang I'm pretty sure tak ramai pakai. Again, thanks.
