SBP days made bearable

I have a hankering to do some post on the past. So I guess I will scrap something up regarding the SBP days.

Gah! I hate my SBP.Especially the rules. I hate there's a schedule when we need to study , when to wake up, when to play, when to watch TV. It was driving me insane. But it is partly my fault, I thought it was going to be fun. Hah! Padan muka sendri kan. But its not all bad. I just hated the schedule when to do this and when to do that. Macam the warden felt if left to our own devices we would have organize a Pesta Buih and trashed the whole dorm upside down.

Anyway, I feel like just mentioning a few things, the day to day stuffs that we went through. As sometimes we raked our memories of the truly good times and bad times we have of a place, we completely forgot the ordinary, nice day to day stuffs that we go through which makes life in the boarding place tengah-tengah tempat jin tendang tu more bearable.

Cream Crackers Galore
After Isya' we would drop by the dewan makan for some biscuits and Milo. If there is no biscuits or we don't feel like hanging out at dewan makan, the cup of Milo would be brought to our dorm room and we would melepak la di tengah2 dorm beramai, with balang cream crackers and biscuit Marie, bergossip. It would be an even more bising if it is nearing the end of semester and we must finished all those cream crackers. So even more balang of biscuits in the middle of the dorm, with even more time spent laughing and giggling over stories or gossips.

Letters
When you have a boyfriend in another school, letters is such a nice way to keep in touch. I used to write insanely long letters. 6 PAGES LONG in average! He used to say that he loved receiving those. But then he dumped me. So tah la? Prolly he hated it. Heh. Anyway, he used to write quite long letters too, and at the end, there would usually be some nonsensical babble written. I showed them to my friend and she helped me figure out those stuffs as it is written in code kinda like 1 4 3 is I Love You. Yeah. *snickers* Corny. Whatever.

But receiving those letters was the grand highlight of the week. You never know if you would receive the letter because the wardens were filtering letters sent to students to make sure no hanky panky is going on, so any suspicious letter would be simpan by the warden.

The Prep Time
I hate those prep time. But I also love them because this is the time that I usually go to the next class to gossip. Usually nearing the end of prep time when people would get a little bit restless, the students would then go from one class to another to just joke around, gelak-gelak and be completely annoying to those goody 2 shoes yang asyik "Shhhhh" even when someone cough. And yeah, I don't study much during those prep time. Bile warden or the teacher in charge datang, mula la semua bertempiaran lari. Especially kapel-kapel yang jumpa discreetly di depan class or tepi tangga ituuuuu.

Balik from bercuti
Its not exactly fun to be back from home and face the strict regime of boarding school life. But the highlight was when the kids brought back home-cooked/made food courtesy of their mother. Bile malam/petang tu masing-masing kumpul all yang mom dah bagi, Nasi Ayam, Ayam Sambal, Nasi Lemak and all that to have a mini feast on the dorm. Each tasting a lil bit of everything. I also remembered one of my friend; I think Kureng, (we called her Kureng, her name is perfectly lovely) whose mom always gave her this REALLY ULTRA DELISH homemade pineapple jam. It was incredibly gooood. We finished her jam in about a week, slathering it generously on our cream crackers.

Okay, those are the few ones I could think of and the post is getting a tad bit long anyway. I think Shu and Aidil would have a few things they would agree or disagree on what they think was fun on the day to day life during SBP kan kan kan?

my mrsm days are filled with mean people. hmm, maybe i'm also mean to people. but thats beside the point. the point is, people are mean to me. but the chicks are nice though. but i was a nerd... well at least i've got this nerdy self image, but i guess other people might see me as a somewhat a problem dude. i hear those kinds are hot with chicks. but heck i don't get as much chicks attention back in those days (not to say that i get more chicks attention later on in life... wife don't count cause she don't have a choice). well at least i didn't get to send letters to chicks. but hey, the most memorable thing from back in those days would be the smell of fungus. yeah, everytime i smell this certain musty fungusy odor, i recall my mrsm days. and of course bad memories tend to fade with time, replaced with only the good ones. but truth is, those days aren't kind. if given a choice to go back to those days, i think i'd tidy up my room and draw more. and learn to play football. oh and be more wary of so called friends. i think one of them actually stole my walkman. sheesh. some friend huh.

Taqi:
How are they mean to you eh?

Fungus is rampant at boarding school. Tho I dont exactly remembered the smell.

Oh and our SBP prohibit the use of Walkman, which totally sucks. Oh, and light fingered disease was also rampant if in boarding schools.


Dila:
I am a bit more active during prep petang. A bit only. Time malam slalu aku tido. Hoh... What do you expect when you wake up kids at 5 am kan?

Oh, homework selalu dibuat dengan frantically sehari sebelum balik asrama kan....

1)mostly, i agreed with you especially ~ "Gah! I hate my SBP.".. :p likely bcz we went to the same ones? :P

2) one of my letters did stucked with the warden. (itu yg aku tau la.. yg tak tau ntah ler) ceit. ape la dia nak buat pun.

3) prep.. hee is my sleeping time. evening ke, nite ke. time riadah, sibuk buat homework. ntah ape2. adra selalu kena woke me up. tapi buku dah siap bukak semua, in case warden dtg. pastu balik hostel lepas prep, turun tangga gelap kat bukit tu dgn mata terkebil2. huh.

what i like abt the sbp we went, other than I made a lot of nice friends, that the school&hostel is much cleaner than my prev. other than that.. erm.

haha...

About the letters, I used to write longggggg letters yang macam journal dah and posted it to my "pen pal" back then. Guess what? Normally I will received even a longer letter from him... kirenye sape yang consistently dpt surat every week tu mmg agak glamour la :P

pasal all the schedule tu, I need it actually... sbb kalau x pasal ade all the time table tu, haram aku nk sentuh buku... saye sungguh tak berdisiplin, sbb tu sy terpakse masuk SBP utk stadi...huhu

Shu:
Hehe.. tu la. I think why I hate my SBP is that most of the teachers sucks. Except for our English teacher kan. Sume stok nak merajuk , meleleh2 air mata je.

Have to agree that our SBP was clean. Most of us memang jaga kan toilet. Rarely nak sinki tersumbat. or tah hape2.



Sue:
Hehe.. Best kan tulis surat. Its like a journal pon, you write sikit sikit actually. Bile ade free time, tulis. Then end of the week, masukkan sume tu in the envelope.


Aidil:
Hahaha... siapakah itu yang selalu berjumpa di tepi tangga antara Kelas Intan dan Baiduri itu...

Aku pon dah lupa.

Dils said…

Hoh! KO SKODENG? hahaha

I hate my schooling days. Benci sampai I blocked some of the unpleasant memories, benci sampai I told myself that I would not let my children go there [unless they really want :( ]

Satu je yang aku suka, the friendship yang last till now
Dils said…
Oh I agreed. Aku takkan kasik la anak-anak aku masuk SBP. Maybe STF (haha) TKC, SSP, well at least those schools got good teachers kan.

Some of the teachers there, have zero experience, no enthusiasm and have no interest in students but only themselves. Budak-budak pon bole nampak mende2 camtuh kan. Those teachers membuatkan aku tamoh jadi cikgu, cause I don't want to be them.

CNY trips like many other before me

So, I had finally made it to Cameron Highlands after 17 years last I had step there. Nothing to say much here because I am sure many of you had gone there and know your way and experience more than me. As I make the trip , reached there morning and going back late afternoon. Before even reaching Cameron I needed to make scenic stops to go to the restrooms.  Above picture 1: Ridiculously 3 cute same colored cats whom were mewing quite loudly and is just so cute I wish I can adopt them all. Above picture 2: A lovely sungai that make me wish I can dip in tapi tak sempat sebab nak gi Cameron.  Above picture 3: A ridiculously lovely view from my toilet stall. I doubt there is a more scenic views in a toilet stall anywhere else.  We reached Cameron at 10 am, after departing from KL close to 6 am. Massive jam ok. Memula rase nak patah balik je. Tayar bas tercabut, jam. Kete rusak, jam. Kete kena saman polis, jam. So we didn't make it in time to my husband's favorite br...

New arrival

I have delivered a healthy baby boy! Currently am dealing with all the new stuffs associated with new mother, breastfeeding woes, sleepless night, murderous tendencies at 3am towards little one. So a bit late in updating. In short, I gave birth to this little bundle of cuteness at 5.37pm on the 3rd of August 2012 on my 38th weeks. Unexpected ( somewhat ) delivery ni, as I have to be induced and later gave birth to him via c-section. EDD 14th Aug, and sepatutnye also I was suppose to be induce today instead last week, tapi mende nak jadi. As long as semua selamat. Anyhow will update more later. In cat news, Bobby kena stay at the vet due to lung infection. :( Sedihhh. Hope he gets better soon. Tak tahu how it happened, but it does and hope kucing lain tak kena.
