Ahh, School.

This is a copy of the version that i wrote at my blog. You can view the original one here.

Federal Territory day [ also known as F.T. day ]

For Tengku day, eh, Lee?

2nd February 2009

After a month of tutelage in KL, I finally got the chance to go back to SMK Alor Akar. Since my school got the FT day holiday and it was on a Monday, I decided to visit my old school in Kuantan. Might as well spend another day in Kuantan since it was a holiday.

'Pas Pelawat'. Saw others wore 'em but never had the reason to wear one. Now i do.

Objectives:

• Get Leaving Certificate.
• Get Co-Co Certificate.
• Get Oral Certificate.
• Mock the Guys.

Upon arival at the front gate, I told the guard of my objectives and I was let in. Before passing on further inside, I collected the Pas Pelawat and walked to the 'Bilik Guru'. My heart beat faster with nervousness and the feeling of leaping into the unknown.

Stepping into the 'Bilik Guru' and I was thrust into a world filled with nostalgia. I saw Cikgu Normaziah, my wonderful BM teacher, there at her usual spot, by the back entrance of the 'Bilik Guru'. She looked puzzled at first to see me before her face lit up in a smile and asked how I was.

Ahhh, how nostalgia ruled my soul that day. After collecting and catching up with Cikgu Normaziah, I met the other teachers there as well. Finally, I was able to meet certain teachers like Cikgu Razak, Uztaz Ifzam and Mr. Teo. I wasn't able to meet and thank them for all that they thought me on PMR-Result-Day.

 After meeting the teachers, I headed to the Canteen as it was the Lower Secondary recess period. Met up and caught up with the now-Form-3s. Ahh, Jocelyn, we meet again. Met up with the rest as well. Sharmin and the gang, Maey Synn, Ashley, Suthesan, Vasuki and the rest as well.

The bell soon rang signifying the end of the Lower Secondary recess. No matter, we chatted on till it was time for them to go into class and time for the Upper Secondary to prowl the Canteen for whatever food was left. I went in the direction of their class to intercept the guys, though apparently THEY intercepted me. 

"MELAYUUUU!!"

Ah, Danesh, school is just not the same without your flamboyant SELAK-ness. Met up with JW, SK, Lee, Nafiis, Aruni *again* *cough* and others before we walked to the canteen. Our journey there was interrupted when SK, Lee and Nafiis were called into HEM's (Hal Ehwal Murid) room. No shocker there. While JW and I waited outside, I caught up with Luqman, Azanan, Nadzmi and Iqmal.

Apparently a lot of the guys got SBP or so? Well then, Kudos to you guys. As soon as The-HEM-Called-Ones got out of HEM's office, we went to the Canteen. 3 years of me cursing the food at the Canteen and this year, the year I'm not there, they changed canteen operators. I quote Jo, "Where is the fairness in this world?". At the canteen, met up with the other guys.

As of every beginning there is an ending. The bell soon rang and the guys had to go back to class, I tagging along to send them off. Before leaving the Canteen, I finally got to meet up with Quek and Chuan. haha.

"Eh, why are you here?"

Never get tired of that question, I tell you. We then left Quek to eat with some other guys since he just got back from some Geography meeting. As we arrived at the block which was where the Form 4-mers' class was located at, I met Bernice, Shirley and JY. There, we chatted a while and caught up.

As we went to the upper floor of the block, we found out that Aruni, Bernice, JY, SK and JW's teacher were already in their class [ they are in the same class -> 4 Cekal ]. So i bid them farewell and it was the end - for them. I walked on to the end of the corridor to do some final Selaks and say my goodbyes to the rest. I passed 4 Cekal once more, on my way back.

However, it was not meant to be and that there was a last SELAK to be done. As i was about to head to the front gate, I finally caught up with AlVin. Apparently, he just came back from somewhere. So we went up to his class so he could take his Physics books as he was late for class. So i passed 4 Cekal again. JW and SK were obviously not paying attention in class and saw me pass by. Ah, there the LAST SELAK act for the day was upon me. 

Nazim: What class do you have now?

AlVin : Physics at Physics Lab.

Nazim: Okay. Let's go this way. Lalu their class.

Again, I passed 4 Cekal and SK and JW were starting to Selak at my passage. Ah, the joy in which YOU must stay put in class while I pass by undeterred. No Selak should end so fast, and so it did not. As i was coming down, again, I met Quek. He too came late and had to take his Physics book. Again did we pass 4 Cekal, this time our party included Quek. Ah, the faces of SK, JW, Aruni, Bernice and Jy. All whom tried to control their laughter while we walked past their class AGAIN and AGAIN!

Nazim: Quek, lalu that way. We kacau them.

And so we did. Luck smiled upon me and we met up with Aiman. Another of Quek and AlVin's class who has yet to take his Physics book. As before, with an additional member to the party, we passed by 4 Cekal to the uncontained laughter of SK and JW upon seeing us pass their class for sixth time without being scolded by the teacher. After taking Aiman's books, again did we pass 4 Ceria upon Quek's suggestion. 

Quek  : Eh, Physics lab over there, right? We have to go that way. *smiles mischievously*

Nazim: *laughs* Please don't be immature, Quek. Want to lalu their class AGAIN ar?

And so we did. The LAST PASSING by in the LAST SELAK act of the day. This time, nearly the whole class who found out about our little trick laughed as we passed their class yet again. True to ourselves, we passed their class for the eighth and final time to go to the Physics Lab.

There we parted and I headed my way back to the front gate and off from that place filled with nostalgic memories. My co-conspiratirs, Quek, AlVin and Aiman, I thank thee. Goody bye, SMK Alor Akar.

P.S. Still waiting for my Leaving Certificate.
