Joy of activites...

WARNING : This post may cause eye sores or irritation and other eye defects. Please turn away from the screen occasionally. Any uncomfortable to the eyes are not of my responsibilities.

Bismillah... Bersyukur kita ke hadrat Allah s.w.t. kerana dengan limpah kurnia-Nya pelajar2 TGB dibenarkan pulang bermalam pada minggu ni sebab cuti peristiwa sempena Makan Malam *Muafakat. Kitorang cuti la hari Isnin. Homework pun tak banyak. Nikmatnya hidup!

Anyways, these 2 weeks were full of activities and classes were dismissed early. So, for 2 weeks, school ended at noon. Hah, tak payah gasping, takde yang bestnya habis sekolah awal pun. Sama je penatnya macam sekolah.

♪ Type III Fair which was a presentation day for the Form 5's **SEM projects. We, the Form 4s were supposed to go to the exhibits and write 2 synopsis about the projects of each category; Scientific, Engineering and Innovation, Descriptive and Others. Yang ni, tak payah cite sangat la. Inti patinya, memang penat sebab pameran bukan kat satu tempat je. Merata-rata.

♪ Hari Anugerah Penghargaan Pengetua, similar to KGV's Anugerah Pengetua. Form 5 students who achieved the PNG of 3.5 and above were awarded. Time diorang naik pentas ambik sijil la part paling boring. Yela, yang naik pentas bukannya sorang 2 orang, more or less 200 students! So, sleeping is best solution to overcome my boredom. Then, when the last student went up the stage, the audience went wild with loud applause and cheers. Hehe, terkenang nostalgia kat KGV dulu...

♪ E-Night which was on Saturday night. It's a night where students sit back, relax and enjoy the performance by somehow talented students. The theme for the night was Masquerade, where students have to wear masks to enter the hall (or ball. Malam ni la yang ditunggu2 sebab time ni je diorang boleh bergaya sakan. Sebelum ni asyik terikat dengan baju kurung, seluar trek, plain t-shirt dan tudung berjahit tengah. So, malam tu, kreativiti diorang mencurah2. Topeng2 unik yang aku jumpa ialah Zorro, Phantom of the Opera, topeng perompak, yang pakai paper bag pun ada! And I noticed a girl who wore a Cinderella gown. Uuu... But then, I didn't bother to dress up. Malas la...XP

The night was kick started by a piano recital with the song, The Last Lullaby from the Twilight movie and the JB's Lovebug instrumental of piano and guitar. Membelai jiwa dan raga... Then the ***Azzariat sang I Believe I Can Fly, followed by a choir performance and a shuffle dance as the finale. Coolness! I didn't the expect the night will be rawking awesome!

♪ United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) which was on Sunday morning. Once again, no dorm inspection. Adoi, bila la nak sapu bilik tu... Habuk2 dah jadi dust bunnies dah. Anyway, UNGA ni sebenarnya some kind of conference by the delegations of 18 countries which represents 18 Form 5 classes, discussing on the topic, The Global Economy Meltdown. Tengok, tajuk pun dah gempak.

Each class representatives were to describe the economy of the country they represent and discuss with other representatives to solve the economy meltdown. Cuba teka negara apa yang paling teruk kena hentam? USA la, kononnya diorang yang sebabkan kejatuhan ekonomi global ni. Tapi, akak wakil USA tu, pandai patahkan hujah2 and she was awarded as the best speaker walaupun mati2 dihentam. Memang best la dengar diorang berdebat, macam kat Parlimen. English diorang pun power.

♪ Dorm spotcheck with my ****homeroom, Topaz 1. The girls got to visit the boys' dorm and vice versa. Tidaaakk!! Dah la bilik aku berhabuk! Tapi best jugak dapat lawat blok lelaki. Aku ingat best sangat la 1 partition 2 orang. Rupanya partition diorang macam cubicles kat office tu, cuma dinding tinggi sikit. Best lagi bilik aku yang katil kopak2 tu... Bila nak visit girls' dorm pulak, budak laki excited betul. Afnan kata bilik aku macam padang pasir, berhabuk. Kenyataan hiperbola di situ ye. Takde la sampai tahap boleh buat pantai kat situ. Huh...

♪ Sukantara to contribute points for sports houses. FYI, aku rumah Biru. Sukantara ni merangkumi acara 800 m, 100 m, lompat jauh dan lontar peluru. Every participation will contribute 1 point for the house and those who passed the limit will contribute 3 points. Somehow I managed to get 3 points for 800 m only. Haha... Alyani pulak memang kontra dengan aku walaupun memiliki kekedingan yang sama. She's a black belt holder in taekwondo, you know. Takpe la, setiap orang ada kelebihan.

Dah la tu... asyik online je. Homework wouldn't finish themselves. 2 minggu lagi nak exam pulak... Ganbatte!


*Muafakat lebih kurang macam PIBG
**Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) --> setiap pelajar/kumpulan kena buat projek ikut kategori pilihan. Lebih kurang macam projek universiti, perlu ada kajian dan mini tesis perlu dihantar. Masa Pesta Type III, setiap projek akan dibentangkan dan diadili.
***TGB MJSC's nasyeed group but I'm not sure about the spelling.
****homeroom ni macam keluarga angkat kat MRSM. Every homeroom consist of 12-15 students and a teacher advisor, a.k.a mak/ayah angkat.

Headaches, Fevers, Colds...

Tadaima! I'm home! Missed my room, my bed, my bantal busuk... =p 5 weeks livin' the hostel life were like a year! How can I survive for another 2 years?? DX Baru 2 minggu kat situ dah demam selsema. Huh, konon nak merasa tinggal kat asrama, merungut pulak aku... Bukannya apa, hostel life seemed fun when Ayah told me about his back then. Hakikatnya, kontra ya amat! There's rules everywhere I go. Cara susun baju dalam almari pun ada peraturan. Betapa hidupku diselubungi peraturan... Kat situ, akak2 BADAR sangat strict pasal aurat. Tang tu aku tak kisah sangat. Tapi yang paling aku tak suka, late bedtime and early rise. Early as in 5 a.m. Akak BADAR pulak akan jadi siren tiap2 pagi. During my first night, aku fikir jugak, akak2 ni takde keje lain ke jerit2 pagi2 buta?

Bilik asrama pulak taklah segah nama maktab ni. Katil dan almari yang antik yakni berkopak-kopak, tilam yang sangat "empuk" dll... Tak nak la kutuk maktab sendiri. Bilik aku jugak tu. Selesa la, 1 bilik 4 orang. Everyone has their own personal space.

But, the best things about MRSM TGB are my roommates and classmates. Sporting and happening-lah senang cerita. Tapi nasib aku "baik" la tahun ni, Faiz is once again my classmate. Budak2 kelas aku panggil dia bapak. Haha...memang jodoh dia dengan panggilan bapak... And once again, I'm the AJK Keceriaan. Hehe...hancur la kelas tu nanti. Btw, aku kelas 415, aka 4O. Nama kelas guna nombor/huruf je, yela kelas ada 18, kering otak nak fikir nama kelas. Fortunately, the teachers didn't have drowsiness aura, except for my Maths teacher. He reminds me of my Form 2 Sejarah teacher. In class, I'm sitting between Alyani and Afiqah (Fiqa, your long lost twin? Muka pun lebih kurang je...). In front of me are 3 funny yet annoying gents, Luqman, Afnan and Afiq.

Homework? Loads! Sehari takde homework tak sah. Sampai kalau hari tu takde homework, aku akan rasa gelisah sebab maybe ada tapi tak ingat or something's wrong with the teacher. In MRSM, not having homework is not normal. Presentations? In 1 week, there's at least 3 presentations. Hah, ambik kau. Nak sangat duduk asrama. But then, it's a good practice for self-esteem boosting. I can feel that I'm better at speaking in public. Yeay me!

Orientation week

This week was fun+boring. The boring part is when the HEP, BKPs and the counsellors gave their speeches, welcome wish, blah, blah, blah... Btw, BKP stands for Badan Kepimpinan Pelajar which have 5 units, Badan Wakil Pelajar, Lembaga Disiplin Pelajar (more like prefects), Badan Dakwah dan Rohaniah aka BADAR, English Motivation Committee and Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya. Anyway, ex-Georgian Muhzani and lagi sorang tak tau nama dia are one of the EMC and PRS tau. =D (cricket sound) Did I just bore you?

Ok, moving on to the fun part. On the 3rd night, the BWPs arrange a game. The story goes like this. During the semester break, a staff was murdred and the BWPs were the suspects sebab diorang je yang tinggal kat maktab untuk program kepimpinan. So, each class have to investigate and find out the suspect, the crime scene and the object used to murder. List of suspects, crime scene and objects were given. Setiap crime scene ada BWP yang jaga dan kitorang kena tanya kat BWP tu sampai la dapat jawapan yang betul. Yang kelakarnya, masa kelas aku pergi kat bilik dobi, ada group of abang lepak2 kat situ. Kitorang nak pergi tanya, pastu tetiba je abang tu bagi jawapan. Kitorang tak percaya sangat sebab takkan senang2 je die bagi jawapan. Tapi masa tu kitorang dah putus asa nak teruskan, so kitorang balik ke dewan nak beritau jawapan. Tengok2 betul jawapan tu... Haha, mati2 kitorang ingat abang tu tipu. So, my class was declared as TGB's Young Detective. Free2 je dapat. XD

That's all for now. Banyak lagi nak cite ni, tapi nanti panjang2 sangat korang tak baca lak.
Till then. =)
