Let me made this clear

I've been receiving, rather not-helping-comments from fellow visitors about me leaving MRSM PC. Obviously this issue isn't over yet. I'm already over this but I supposed my thoughts on MRSM are offending maybe? I don't think so. These are only MY THOUGHTS, I'm not insulting the institution or anything. This is freedom of speech! [honestly, this doesn't turn out right but whatever]

First and foremost, I'm leaving behind this MRSM thingy because it's already in the past and I want to move on. It was kinda... Not really bad but something that I will always remember. I'm moving forward now. I already made a blueprint of my future so enough about reminding me about the past!

These are my post tagged with MRSM. As you can see (obviously), this is the hottest and most commented subject in my blog. I want to comment with a 2-3 words on certain comments that I received in the last couple of months.

Sape kata ngaji memane pun sama ? Tipu je lebey. Ngaji kat skolah berprestij, walaupun result lekeh, orang akan pandang tinggi. Bayangkan dapat result cukup makan tapi grad dari M.I.T ! Whoaaaa ! MRSM memang established households name. Kalu setakat nama " kolej " melekat kat nama sultan, berlambak lagi sekolah lain kat bumi Malaya ni nama camtuh. Tapi MRSM bukan sembarangan aaar... berebut org nak masuk tapi tak dapat.

Orang akan pandang tinggi? Hello, what if you got expelled from let's say Harvard? I'm sure you will try hard to hide your face from the public. Beside, I thought our education system supposed to be same throughout the nation. So I don't think you'll get any special education at certain educational institutions. Plus, every students in Malaysia get the same chances in studying abroad.

The first 6 months or so at MRSMPC was terrible I have to say. The bullying thing, the whole new boarding school life, the whole new MARA education system which was so strange to me who were well adapted to the Kementerian Pendidikan's conducts.

I really understand what you felt.
Like you, I got 3.25 in the first semester there.

Yes!

So just leave me alone.

Life before and now

Yes, I'm back bitches! I took a break from blogging for a few week or months, I guess. So now, I'm back. What's up? Nothing much. Post-MRSM life has been very good although it is actually the same, like getting back to your normal routines. The experiences in MRSM have made me appreciate every moments I have in normal school (non-boarding school, non-MRSM, whatever you wanna call it).

Can I just state here how much I hate MRSM? Yeah, I hate MRSM. Remember this case where some students of MRSM were expelled? 15 students to be specific (the news at Bernama). Who says bullying cases don't happen in MRSMs? It happens all the time. We just can't believe the fact that it happens in a high-grade school like MRSM. I was in MRSM Pengkalan Chepa, one of the four best MRSMs around and the MRSM PC was the the third best school based on 2006 SPM exam results. But still, all these things that we thought shouldn't happened happen. UGH! My brain got cramped thinking about MRSM PC.

LOL! What a waste for me missing this fun time watching the pavilion of MRSM PC, located at the field. The fire happened two days after I left the school. So cool!

Anyway, MRSM life is one of my chapters in my life and I already passed it. The funny thing is the life I thought it was over continues. The Kolej life will never end, I guess. Bleh, I hate being very patriotic about my school.

After being super busy with drama when I was in MRSM PC, now I'm part of an F1 team. We make F1 cars in small scale. I'm the graphic designer and pretty much doing small things like marketing, merchandising and presentation. I don't actually make the car.

This is actually the machine where you make the model. We actually made it drilled some hole on the metal rod where it holds the wooden block. And as a graphic designer in the team, I came up with this logo. It's not official yet, but we're going to decide tomorrow.
The race is during early September that will be held in Alor Star. It is the north region level competition. After that, we go (if we are on the top 3) straight to national level.

Three words: NO MORE MRSM

I quitted MRSM and came back to my old beloved school; Sultan Abdul Hamid College. It was kind of a drastic and sudden decision I made to go back to my old school. Hell whatever, I am already heading for my second week in my old school. The thing is boarding school is really not my thing. I tried to be strong there for like four months, but I can't help it on the second week of Semester 2. On the first semester, I got 3.19 for my GPA which is pretty much okay. Don't want to talk much about MRSM... I just want to say that I hate it, seriously!

I created a lot of memories there for four months. Drama, new friends, exams, hostel... These are some of the things that I went through in this one of the chapters of my life. I am missing my friends there but then I can't make them the reason for me to stay. I'm gonna miss you guys! I had a lot of fun with them. This year would be the year with the most parties!



These are some of my friends that I made. More to come, not feeling well right now.

Good Times

Last week was the activity week for most MRSMs I think. I'm currently on a long weekend in Alor Star as there are two days of public holiday in Kelantan, but not in Kedah. Anyway, it's good to be back again in Alor Star. I had NO TIME checking my e-mails etc during past weeks as I was busy with my drama team and we already did our best at the Dramafest during Language Week in MRSM Kuala Krai.

Guess what? We got 2nd place with THREE AWARDS and they are Best Director, Best Costume and Best Actress. Who is the director? Me! :P We had some problems along the way and everyone decided to promote me as the director. It was very tiring though, but I'm laughing now after what we achieved. Our adviser was very helpful, most of us are first-timers so she helped alot. I don't have much to say after my last post. It was alot of fun working as team, doing fun stuff.

These are some of my drama teammates. The photo was taken after our performance at the competition. Some of them are still in their costume. I don't feel like writing about our drama now.

We had our lunch during one of our training sessions. We ordered some pizzas from Pizza Hut, it was pretty cheap I guess. Two large pizzas for about RM35, it was a good deal.

Enough about drama, I did have some time to join the Activity Week back at PC (Pengkalan Chepa). This photo was taken during night market by the students. Every class had to set up a booth at the night market. We sold fruit cocktail, sweet corn in a cup and sardine and tuna toasts. It was fun too, especially when our booth was crowded with people.

Good times!

Home Temporarily

Waa...! It's good to be back in Alor Star, back to my own lovely bed where I can do whatever I want IN MY OWN PRIVACY. Can you imagine living with another 60 boys?? I had to anyway because it is a boarding school. I made my decision so I have to face it. I arrived in Alor Star at about 4.30AM yesterday via bus. I wanted to take the plane but it was too expensive and I had to overnight at LCCT before my connecting flight to Alor Star.

How's life there? The cons are winning over pros. I wanted to go back on my first day there but it went well after that and I eventually 'fit in' with boarding school lifestyle. I am still struggling with the people there, especially with the Kelantanese because I can't understand a word they were saying so it's VERY hard to mix and make friends with them. But still, I made some new friends from Kelantan and they are very nice people.

I actually like all the faclities there, like Internet kiosks, self-service laundry, mini store etc. All you need is money, then only you can enjoy most of the facilities there. I heard that before we (the new intakes outside Kelantan) came here, the self-service laundry was something that students rarely use. Now, it is a hot stuff! The mini store has everything you can imagine including a cafe which is a rip off. A plate of Nasi Lemak is RM2! I thought Kelantan supposed to be very cheap.

I came there alone, I'm the only Alor Star boy there ;( There are few students from northern region but the number is not as much as the number of students from KL. There are so many KLites.

I'm going back this Wednesday or Thursday... ;(

Hello from MRSM PC

I've been trying very hard to get online and write to my blog, so I made it. Things have been going pretty well but I'm alright. It is very hard to know the fact that you are few hundred miles away from home. I'm pretty much a homesick person but I didn't know that until I came here.

I got A BUNCH of things to tell but I got like ZERO privacy to write since the computers are located like along the stairway. I'm going back to Alor Star this 8th of March and I will write more as soon as my ass hit my room.

Going to MRSM PC

All the comments on my last post made me think about on going to MRSM Pengkalan Chepa in Kelantan. The verdict is I'm going there this 21st of January February [sorry!]. I just don't know what to say. This is my only chance to get away from my family, be independent and start my own life in a boarding school. The offer letter came with a mile of list of things to bring while studying there. I already started the preparations yesterday by doing something that I always do best: SHOPPING!!

I went to shop in Alor Star with my grandma and sister. They were very useful when it comes to shop :P Anyway, I bought a lot of things like polos, track pants etc. But I still have a lot of things to buy like toiletries etc. I guess I'm pretty excited going there. Yesterday, I spend about RM500, bought cheaper stuff that I usually would buy so I got myself a good amount of stuff. It was a plus for me as the Chinese New Year sale is going on at the malls. I will probably going to the malls again this weekend.

Just now I went to the hospital to make an appointment for my medical check-up. It's an requirement and the appointment is on tomorrow at 8 AM. Wish me luck!

Congrats! I'm in dilemma...

:D Pretty excited about getting an MRSM boarding offer. But the sad fact I got MRSM Pengkalan Chepa in KELANTAN, one of the rural states in Malaysia and I think Pengkalan Chepa is quite a distant from Kota Bharu, the capital state. I was very excited to know the fact that I got the offer then I went from that to the valley of dilemma... Should I go or not?

If I go, then I'll leave everything behind including my friends and my beloved school. If I turn down the offer, I'll be missing a chance in a lifetime. My whole family is telling me that I should NOT go, due to the fact that it's very far away and the school is located in a not-so-modern place. Yes, they got the point and I thought the same. However, (hell!) it's my only chance on going to a boarding school. I kinda like want some changes in my education life. It might be bad, but... Yeah, it is going to be bad. Probably no Internet (which mean no blogging, e-mail etc), bad food, and no more shopping!

According the their website, the requirement is at least 8 A's so I take that as MRSM Pengkalan Chepa is a nerd school. Few of my friends called me last night, they said they got offers from northern region MRSMs so they are not that far from Alor Star. I'm (currently) the only one who got an offer from Kelantan! I'm supposed to be in school right now but the doctor gave me one day off because of my fever. I guess I should check with my friends tomorrow and see whether they wanted to go or not.
