Sediakan payung sebelum hujan

Itulah nasihat yang sering disebut orang-orang tua.

Entah tak tahulah atuk/nenek/moyang/buyut/orang tua mana yang mula menyebutnya, tapi ikut sajalah nasihat ini kerana ia sesungguhnya amat benar, dan anda akan benar-benar terasa kebenarannya jika sebelum keluar rumah sudah ternampak awan begitu sarat dan berat, tapi bila keluar dari kereta untuk naik LRT pula anda tak ambil pun payung dalam kereta, dan setelah sampai ke stesen yang ditujui, hujan turun mencurah-curah dengan selebat-lebatnya.

Dan sekiranya di stesen LRT di mana anda turun itu terdapat kedai atau kiosk yang menjual payung, beli sajalah tanpa berkira-kira sangat harganya RM15.90 sekaki yakni lebih kurang sama jumlah harganya dengan 3 kaki payung yang anda tinggalkan dalam kereta, kerana berapa banyak payung pun yang ada dalam kereta tidak akan dapat membantu anda ketika itu, dan anda akan benar-benar terasa kekesalannya saat berebut-rebut teduhan payung kakak warga Indonesia yang anda bernasib sedikit baik terjumpa di tengah perjalanan dan boleh minta tumpang sekaki sebab kebetulan menuju arah yang sama tapi tetap kuyup sebab terpaksa  banyak mengalah kepada tuan empunya payung, dan akan terus berasa kesalnya di saat setelah memasuki bangunan yang kering dan nyaman semua orang memandang serong kerana anda seorang yang basah lencun dengan air menitik-nitik dari hujung baju dan tudung sehingga anda terpaksa beli baju baru dan bersalin pakaian terlebih dahulu sebelum boleh bergegas ke jualan buku murah gila sambil risau-risau khuatir buku-buku menarik yang diingini semua telah habis diambil orang..

Nasib baik berjaya jugak beli buku hingga 10 buah..Hoh!!

Masterji

 

Congrats Hajar upon your conferment of Masters award! :)

You're the second Masterji in the family after Mak, and this is surely inspiring to us. Moga-moga the rest of us will follow Mak's and your steps, or maybe even go further.

Mak and Ayah were extremely happy to be able to attend the convocation ceremony, and also for the traveling together to London, Paris, Italy and Edinburgh.

stf 959 reunited!

In the contact details card which Muniza asked us to fill up during the reunion, there was one difficult question.

Iya betul susah..anak Rom pun berkerut-kerut nak menjawab nih

Owh..ok,,actually there were 2 difficult questions. The first one, sequentially, was "I am _________ at __________." People got a little confused at first as it could be just anything from "I am flabby at the stomach" to "I am such a drama queen at our high school reunion" to "I am in love at first sight" to "I am a murderer at large" or simply "I am mad at Moon for making us confess things to her!"...before some smart girls figured out that the right answer was supposed to sound like "I am a CEO at the biggest company in the world". Huhuuh..

But the real difficult question in question was "Write down one incident that you remember happened in STF". Man...everybody was kind of went blank looking at that question. Was it because after a whole night  of chit-chattering, screaming, posing, cam-whoring and laughing your heart out, your mind just won't function right,, or was it because when you have so much memories, be them good, bad, funny or scary, your mind would just blend them all together and store it at a small piece of your brain that when people ask "How was your schooling years?" you can only recall it as "the superb 5 years of my life!".

Almost gave up, I just simply jot down "too many!" at first.

But then, considering Moon's effort to compile this contact book (ceh ceh ceh! ;p but seriously Moon, we're thankful of your brilliant idea and efforts), I forced my brain to think of one, and decided to write down whatever incident that crossed my mind.

So the incident that I forced down was "sports day". But surprisingly, after writing that, suddenly all the memories throughout the 5 years spent at STF came gushing through my mind like water flowing rapidly down the stream, that I felt like I almost choked trying to spell them out in words.

"sports day; escape prep petang pastu kena tangkap dengan warden pastu kena prep kat Bilik Warden; kena kejar dengan bapak beruk sampai depan Dining Hall; datang lambat senaman pagi pastu kena duduk kat luar tennis court; escape P.E dekat Gym pastu kena tangkap dengan Cik Ramlah pastu kena lari netball court 12 round; stay-up kat Dining Hall; round compound; hockey practice"...but damn the space on that card was limited! But yeah, Moon asked for 1 incident only after all..

What a school life it had been!

Years gone by and counting, all those now are just sweet memories that may not immediately come up when recalled, but they surely will stay someplace in your mind that maybe on some quiet days, they may just resurface at their own will and bring smiles, laughters or even tears to you.

This lovely Rina's photo is fun!

thoughts

I'd been thinking about her these few days.

So when I caught her on Facebook the other night, I hailed, "Hey ho!", and told her that I kinda miss her.

And she told me that she'd been thinking about me too lately.

Yeah, I do believe that when you're thinking about someone, there's a highly good chance that one someone is thinking about you too, with or without you knowing it.

And this often happen among friends.

Zan and me.
