My Alma Mater

Hari ni, 16 Mei 2011, bersempena dengan sambutan Hari Guru, me and a few of my friends (zulfadli hanib, ayul, ain mohd) pergilah memanjat bukit untuk melawat Sekolah Menengah Sains Muzaffar Syah (a.k.a MOZAC)... It was my alma mater... In many ways, I grew up here (walaupun just 2 tahun je kat sini)...

So, having said that, my trip to my alma mater is a rather nostalgic one... I have been here many times since my high school years, especially since my little brother is now also a Muzaffarian, but I've never been here on weekdays when the teachers are all around... My last trip here was like 5 years ago time nak amek sijil SPM dulu2...

Nervous gak time nak gi naik mula-mula tuh, tapi sebab kawan-kawan yang lain tu bersemangat, so redah jelah... Sampai kat atas tu dalam pukul 11 pagi, tapi program hari guru dalam dewan still tak abes lagi, so kami lepak-lepak kat kantin...

Dalam pukul 11.45 pagi, program kat dewan pun abes, students and cikgu-cikgu pun bertaburan keluar dari dewan menuju ke blok-blok sekolah... Serius segan giler jumpa cikgu-cikgu pada awalnye, tapi cikgu-cikgu semuanya memang sempoi... hehe

Semua cikgu-cikgu yang dari zaman saya sekolah sini dulu still kenal saya n ingat nama, cuma kebanyakan diaorang dah lupa kitorang batch mana... bila sebut batch SPM 2004, still blur2 lagi, bila sebut sama batch ngan ahmad muaz (ketua pelajar) je, baru cikgu-cikgu ingat batch kitorang... Mungkin kena panggil batch kami dengan nama "batch ahmad muaz", terus cikgu-cikgu ingat satu batch... hehe

Mula-mula gi masuk bilik kaunseling dulu, jumpa cikgu zulindawati (kaunselor) n borak2... Kami siap disuruh submit butir2 diri untuk masuk buku personaliti ex-mozac terbilang... wow... rugi sape tak balik sekolah jumpa cikgu zulindawati... hehe...

Pastu, gi bilik guru pulak, jumpa cikgu-cikgu lain... Rasanya hampir separuh cikgu-cikgu lama dah bertukar ke sekolah lain, banyak nampak cikgu-cikgu baru yang tak dikenali, so gi borak2 ngan cikgu-cikgu lama jelah, yang baru tu tegur n senyum cukuplah...

Cikgu Ismail masih cam dulu, baik, still rasa close to him sebab dia HEM n ketua warden zaman dulu2 tu... Miss Ija, Miss Amesah, Miss Ivy, all the English teachers whom I was close with during the debating years... Puan Saripah n Cikgu Rosnah, masih sempoi cam dulu, cam borak ngan kawan lak... hehe... 

Cikgu Hassim pun still maintain, dan cikgu tanya saya "kenapa tak amek medik?"... hahaha... Saya dah abes belajar dah pun cikgu... hehe... 

Ustazah Norliyen (guru kelas), Ustazah Almarjaan, Cikgu Suriati (Fizik), Cikgu Saifudin (Kaunselor), Cikgu Hamidah (Add Maths), Cikgu Hanita (BM), Cikgu Azniza (BM), Cikgu Sazali (Chem), Miss Rachel (Bio), dan Miss Ho (Maths) pun masih kat MOZAC lagi... Maybe ada lagi yang tak masuk dlm list nih... hehe

Kenapa tak cerita pasal pengetua? Erm, sebab tak kenal... Pengetua ni masuk time kami keluar dulu... Kenal muka dia je r...

Lepas dah borak ngan cikgu-cikgu pasal future career dan pasal zaman dulu2, soklan wajib yang cikgu akan tanya adalah "bila nak kawen?" dan soalan2 yang sewaktu dengannya... Payah gak nak menjawab soalan ni... hehe... Lepas ni nak datang mestilah ketika menjmput cikgu-cikgu ke kenduri kawen sendiri or setelah berkahwin... hehe...

Tak lama lepas tu, cikgu-cikgu semua kena gi meeting... Budak-budak suma dilepaskan balik ke asrama awal, so kami pun amek peluang tu meronda-ronda ke sekitar kawasan sekolah... Gi amek gambar kat kelas lama, dan jalan-jalan ke asrama... Nah tengok sikit gambar-gambar...

5 Alpha, kelas lama, tapi sudah berubah kedudukan...

Surau dan pusat akses (xtau la apa tu, dulu bilik gamelan)

Far left - asrama lelaki, far centre - dining hall, far right - asrama perempuan

Dewan Muzaffar

Kantin

Blok pentadbiran etc...

Di antara 2 blok... Gambar diambil dari depan kelas saya time form 4 dulu... hehe

Penat berjalan-jalan, minum air kelapa kat kantin, sambil borak-borak... Update sikit pasal kawan-kawan lama... Ramai yang dah keje, ramai gak yang still tak abes lagi belajar (especially yang gi oversea) dan ramai gak yang dah hilang dari radar... hehe

Time zohor kami pun menuruni bukit Muzaffar pulang ke rumah masing-masing... 

Today is awesome, it was a great experience... And the reason I wrote it down is not for other people to read it, but mostly, for me, so that I can recall today when I read this post tomorrow, next month, or next year... 

Selamat Hari Guru to all my teachers, you guys are the best... Till we meet again...

My Fairytale Night

It has been 3 weeks since my graduation dinner at Swiss Garden Hotel, Kuantan…. I kinda lost track of time when I’m at home, just like how I lost track of my age when I left school, so pardon me for being a little too late to write some thoughts on the memorable night…

It was a night to remember… Being part of the committee, I don’t think I should praise or criticize the event, kena batang hidung sendiri je nanti kan, but like it or not, it was memorable…

So in this article, I would write on the things that I wanna remember of the night…

Swiss Garden Hotel, the venue of the dinner was quite nice… The hall was big and beautifully decorated according to the fairytale theme… The sound system was good… The buffet was delicious, although I only managed to eat less than a plate of the main course, a bowl of soup and some desserts due to my duties… The only downside was that they only gave us permission to use their hotel room until midnight, I kinda hoped that I could spend the night there… hehe

The performances during the dinner were entertaining… The opening video by rx6th sisters was the only fairytale-themed performance of the night… The poetry by abang Badri was heart-felt… The “Hantu Kak Limah” video by rx6th brothers was super hilarious to me (korang memang berbakat, mantap)…

The song sang by cagan n the gang was addictive, it kept playing in my head for a week or so… And last but not least, the performance by committees, which was not the best vocal performance of the night, but it was dedicated to our dearest lecturers, and I do hope they felt our gratitude to them…

The award-giving (king, queen, best community attachment etc) was not exciting for me, maybe because being PC, I knew all the results before they announce it, so maybe there is no suspense there… hehe…

The photography session was a photography session, how I do I comment on that... But I loved the informal photography session much more… The part when I took pictures of me and my friends using my w995… However, being an inferior camera to the sort of DSLR, some of the pictures were not-so-good especially in the dim lights…

Anyway, good or crap, these are the pictures that I have to live with throughout my life, because I don’t think I’m gonna experience this again in this lifetime… Nah tengok sikit gambaq2..

Che am, membawa buku ke mana2, even ke AGD... hehe

The sesi bersalam dengan lecturers was awesome… I wished that all lecturers came, so that we could thank them all and say our proper goodbyes…

The sesi bersalam among rx6th was sad… I did not say goodbye (I think), because I hoped that we could meet again someday insyaAllah…

I would like to wrap up this article with special thanks to my boss PM Matmin who trusted me, to my same-portfolio-co-worker atiqah ( n sorry if I disturbed your family time in the preparation of this event), to other committees from other portfolios (especially bunif who has been extra helpful), to my dearest rx6th friends, to the junior committees and to miss MC (who has been an excellent MC in a program with many last minute changes)…

I'll cherish the memories forever...

Mewakili Malaysia ke USA

Hmm, dah lama tak update blogspot ni... Hari ni saya nak cerita ckit pasal pengalaman saya dan kawan-kawan "mewakili Malaysia" ke USA... dalam Travian... hehe... (Translation: kami main Travian di speedserver US, against pemain-pemain dari seluruh dunia... hehe)

Apa tu Travian? Travian tu adalah game online yang berkonsepkan pembinaan negara bangsa (ceh wah)... Bila daftar je untuk main, setiap pemain akan di amanahkan untuk membangunkan satu kampung daripada totally kosong...  

Basically, kena bangunkan kampung, menakluk kampung lain, buat tentera, serang dan pertahankan kampung daripada serangan musuh...

Camne nak bangunkan kampung tu jadi lebih maju? Mula-mula mestilah kena upgrade resources (ladang tanaman, lombong besi, kuari tanah liat dan kawasan pembalakan) dulu... Bila ada sumber-sumber ni barulah dapat majukan kampung, buat bangunan-bangunan canggih dan bina tentera...

ni paparan berkaitan resources yang perlu di upgrade...

Main game Travian ni xde la untuk suka-suka release tension jek, banyak pengajaran yang boleh dapat daripada game ni... Sesetengah pengajaran tu even boleh membuat kita lebih memahami realiti dunia kita...

Salah satu pengajaran utama yang saya pelajari adalah teamwork... It is almost impossible to survive alone in Travian (quoted from The Taskmaster)... Kerapkali kita akan memerlukan pertolongan bila kampung kita akan diserang oleh musuh dan kita juga memerlukan pemain-pemain lain untuk sistem pertukaran barang (barter trade)...

Jadi penyelesaian terbaik adalah dengan join mana-mana alliance... Alliance yang saya join kat server US tu sangat interactive, bila ada ahli-ahli kena serang, leader alliance akan inform kepada ahli-ahli alliance yang lain dan akan coordinate pertahanan di kampung yang diserang tuh... 

Sebagai ahli, bila kita tengah aman dan banyak tentera tu, hulur-hulur lah bantuan kpd orang lain, hidup ni ibarat roda, we never know bila turn kita kena serang plak kan... And yes, bila saya kena serang, beribu-ribu bantuan saya dapat... hehe

3 kaum yang boleh dipilih, setiap satu unik dan ada kelebihan masing-masing...

Pengajaran kedua adalah negara yang cepat maju adalah negara yang aman makmur... Sumber-sumber setiap negara adalah terhad, kalau negara tak aman, sumber tu mestilah diguna untuk menguatkan ketenteraan kan, pembangunan will take a back seat... 

Kalau negara aman (kurang diserang), sumber-sumber boleh diguna untuk memajukan negara, tapi kena juga pastikan aspek ketenteraan terjaga, spend sebahagian sumber untuk upgrade tentera dan pertahanan, kalau tak bila kena serang sia-sia je... 

paparan bangunan2 dalam kampung...

Bila difikirkan, kita sangat beruntung hidup di Malaysia yang aman damai, sumber-sumber ekonomi kita boleh digunakan untuk memajukan negara (berbanding negara cam Korea Utara)...

Banyak sebenarnye pengajaran dan manfaat permainan ni, tapi rasanya dah cukup panjang cerita dah, bosan plak kalau panjang sangat... hehe

Neway, saya dah berhenti pun mewakili Malaysia di speedserver US, oleh sebab time constraint dan exam pun dah dekat, berhenti jela main walaupun hati sangat berat nak meninggalkan 3 kampung yang penat dibina daripada scratch... 

Sekarang ni kami main kat speedserver Malaysia plak, relax ckit coz pemain pun tak begitu agresif... hehe

Ps: Grafik game ni sangat simple, dan boleh dimainkan even guna internet yang merangkak2, tapi yang best adalah game ni sangat interaktif (online kan)... Don't judge this game by its graphic ok... hehe

Btw, post ni bukan nak promote game kepada sesiapa, just reminding myself of the good times I had playing there, the helpful alliance-mates that I had and all the interesting new things I learnt there... :)

Jawapan untuk soalan yg ditanya dalam interview SPA Pegawai Farmasi U41

 

Saya pun tgh nervous gak sebenarnya utk interview esok, saje post ni utk kurangkan nervous sikit... hehe...

Gudluck kepada semua yang akan menjalani interview esok dan lusa... Jawab dengan cermat k...

Yang dah lepas interview hari ni tu, sori x sempat nak wish utk korang... Hehe... Wish "selamat berehat-rehat di bilik" jelah... Hehe

Dream Vacation at Bukit Gambang Waterpark

Last Sunday, we went to Bukit Gambang Waterpark, Kuantan... It was hot and sunny, the perfect weather to enjoy outdoor activities...

We arrive there around 11.00am and started enjoy ourselves... I played everything (except the kiddie pool) at least once... 

There are 5 water slides there, one is the longest, one is the darkest and one is the fastest water slide. Then there is a family slide (one buoy can fit 5 people) and another slide where you slide on a mat and race with your friends to reach the bottom...

I "flew" when riding the racing-mat-slide, which made me feel much much lighter, because at first they said that heavy person might not experience that... Hahaha

It was a blast, a dream vacation... As I lay afloat on buoy on the calm beach, I feel calm and relaxed...

Then we went for lunch at the cafe there... I chose nasi lemak while the others chose western food... Turns out my meal was the most cost-effective one compared to the others... Note to self (and others), don't order western food there, membazir duit jek, the food protion is small...

That is as much as I'm gonna share with all of you, other things will remain as secrets (just among us who went there together)...

Enjoy some photos which I managed to capture before the end of our trip (there is only few photos because all of us are enjoying ourselves that no one wants to sit around and take pictures)...

At the entrance

Me... gambar berseorangan sebab pemilik kamera kan... hehe

Ni gambar semua orang except Uganda (sciencess) coz dia yang tgh tangkap gambar ni...

Kaunter tiket

Dah masuk di dalam.... Berjaya seludup minuman masuk ke dalam... hehe

Just so that we won't forget the date...

Video ni menunjukkan Qayyum menang dalam perlumbaan waterslide (untuk kali ke berapa ni)... Tempat kedua helmi R n ketiga Uganda... Yang lain-lain dah berhenti main time ni sebab penat... hehe

To all who have not been to Bukit Gambang Waterpark yet, I strongly recommend you to go there... For those who have been there, let's go there again shall we.... hehehe

A birthday to remember

I had a great birthday last friday... Thank you so much to all my family and friends... 

Especially to those who stayed up until 12.00am just to wish me happy birthday, those who gave me birthday presents, those who wished me happy birthday (and happy belated birthday), those who put aside some of their time to celebrate birthday... and those who treated me to free meal on my birthday (and the few days after that)... 

Thanks a lot guys... :)

Ps: Birthday saya tahun ni bertarikh 11022011... cantik plak kan date ni, macam mirror image... Tq Amir Ibrahim, ko sorang je perasan kut... hehe

Pagi-pagi dah gi dating tepi tasik

Ish ish ish, budak-budak zaman sekarang dah advance, pagi-pagi dah gi dating tepi tasik (Tasik Taman Bandar)... Sila tengok gambar kat bawah tu... hehehe...

Kejap je diaorang dating, pastu saya dan abu pun join (kitorang sampai lambat ckit), so dah tak jadi dating lagi r, dah bertukar jadi picnic berempat kat tasik Taman Bandar...  Hehe

Mula-mula kami beli breakfast dari "foodcourt IM2"... Memang banyak pilihan makanan breakfast kat sini... Pastu kami pun pergi ke Taman Bandar...

Kami duk picnic makan breakfast atas jeti kayu kat tasik Taman Bandar... Pemandangan di situ menyejukkan mata, suasana tenang, dan cuaca plak nyaman dan tak panas plak pagi tu (Alhamdulillah)...

Bestnyer makan beramai-ramai sementara ada masa bersama lagi ni... Yelah, bila dah grad nanti mana ada masa nak berkumpul camni lagi kan...

Tak kisah lah walaupun rasa agak lambat untuk buat aktiviti camni (yelah, dah graduating year baru nak buat), at least PERNAH buat... No regrets... :) 

Enjoy the pictures kat bawah ni...

Dating 2 org tepi tasik

Abu dah join, so technically bukan dating lg r... hehe

Banyak nyer breakfast... Untuk 4 org ke nih? hehe

Penganjur program... Tak ajak,,,, hahaha

Dani, Me and Helmi R

Pembaca doa (bg gambar spesel sorang2)... hehe

Jeti kayu di tasik Taman Bandar

Ps: Lepas ni sape-sape yang berminat boleh la organize program macam ni, cuma kena buat dalam skala kecil la, coz jeti tu tak mampu nak menampung 80++ orang (satu batch) berpicnic atas tuh... hehehe
