Haha, thats a good story ck, yeah I remember that. Come to think of it, I wonder why I never got caught covering u guys....
My school days will always be something I treasure be it in Seaport or VI.
As for my time in Seaport, the highlight was definitely making friends, meeting "interesting" teachers and basicaly learning more about myself. Being Ketua Kelas wasnt always easy for me you know. The teachers keep finding somebody to put the blame on, so its always me. But at the same time, its a huge lesson in character building. Interesting stories? hmmm, well there is one:
I remember all of us didnt finish Razak's seni work, so all of us lepak in front of the scout den lol. I mean we were just talking and sitting down like nobodys business.
-Theres also this time, when school ended, Mardiana and I plan to walk back home together, but when I met her in front of the school CK and the gang was ready to tease me, making stupid jokes, and wisteling when we started to walk. Omg, this is so embarassing to tell.
PMR? haha, PMR is a big joke, I remember studying very little, and a week before the exams like ck said, we were still lepaking at pyramid.....Sleepovers was held at my house and at night we lepak at mamak. Usualy its Ck, me, farouq and harmeet. We talk about everything.. remember we ordered like belambak giler air kosong? lol
All in all, Seaport thought me a lot of things. But mostly the friendships I developed is simply unforgetable. Truth be told i love Seaport more than I love VI.
When it comes to my times in the Victoria Institution, its a actually a love-hate relationship. I can't hate the school, my father is an ex victorian, so was my grandfather. The school till now still maintain their traditions, and the students they produced are very proud. The school instill the students with egos and that you are the best among the best.
The only down side is, theres the projek bola ppl where these students are taken from various school not for their grades but because of their footbaling skills. They I believe ruined the school.
Interesting experiences in VI? Hmmm, yes, I remember in between classes, my friends and I would go behind the classes (the classes are big u must understand) and smoke. Sometimes behind the scouts den or the cadet's room. I remember, I didnt eat anything yet for breakfast, they offered me a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and yes u guessed it, i puked. lol
Oh yes theres also the time when a teacher called me up saying I was chosen to deliver a speech to Tun.Dr Mahathir when he visited the school. The whole speech is just basicaly an ass licking lecture about his achivements. The best part of it is when I get to meet and take a picture with him. i shook his hand and he told me it was a good speech. You have no idea what I felt back then, it was like my dream come true. I also got a sijil signed by him. Then theres also playing rugby againts RMC, which my senior sampai patah kaki. They were fearsome i tell u. We lost though.
Hostel was a huge character building lesson. I understand now why ppl who grow up in hostel are so close to each other. I mean standing up to seniors needs numbers, u need friends, u definitely cant live without them. We use to sneak out, go to CCs or go to Target where we played snooker. Sneaking out from hostel 2 oclock in the middle of the night, let me tell u was one hell of an experience. I went through a lot of bad times in Hostel, but now, thinking back about it, I love every moment of it.Overall VI was a place where I actually had Malay friends. I thought the non-malays there was sombong and arrogant so I didnt hang out with them. I also mixed with in with a lot of bad crowd. Lepaking in the middle of the night in KL, is seriously no joke. I told myself to never travel that path again. VI is full of traditions, pride and being the best, I enjoyed it nevertheless.
The thing I realized is that, its not the schools you go to, or what environment u were in, but its the people that you meet is what makes your school days interesting. They are the ones u meet everyday. When people tell you they miss their school days, I think what they really mean is that they miss their friends.
I guess, everyone needs to be loved, noticed and accepted.
