MEMORY IN ZS by Tengku Nurlina

Monday, June 20th, 2005

Can’t resist this piece i read in Nolee’s blog.. very well said..

Memory in ZS

The place where we grew up..
ABC.. to poems writing..
123 to 12×12=144
saya awak..to aku mung..
ladybird books..to ahadiat akashah..
from nursery ryhmes to KRU songs..

We were there to learn..
We were there for fun..
We were there coz we were suppose to be there..
but We were loving it..

stayed back for no reasons..
participating in every school activities..
with all the efforts..
with all our hearts..
never asking what was the returns..
For we were just having fun..
enjoying each and every moments..

Remembering such moments..
bring smiles to our faces
no matter where we are..
who we are..

You are the reason ..
who we are before..
who we are now..
who we are tommorrow..

Zainab satu sekolah kita~~

My Speech for Reunion

Saturday, June 18th, 2005

Assalamualaikum dan selamat datang saya ucapkan kepada Yang Amat Dihormati, Tuan Haji Nik Abd Razak Nik Salleh dan Puan Hajjah Sabariah Ibrahim, Yang Amat Dikasihi, Cikgu-cikgu dan Yang Sangat Disayangi, Rakan-rakan Seperjuangan sekalian.

Terima Kasih kerana sudi meluangkan masa untuk menghadiri majlis yang amat bermakna ini.  Saya pada mulanya merancang sesuatu yang lebih besar, tetapi disebabkan komitmen belajar dan kerja, ramai yang terpaksa menolak untuk hadir pada hari ini.  5 years ago I’ve promised we will have a Reunion with teachers, today the promise has been fulfilled.

Tenang-tenang air di laut,

Sampan pukat mudik ke hulu,

Hati terkenang mulut tersebut,

Bila teringat masa dahulu.

We’re gathered here today to be reunited after more than a decade furthering our studies to secondary and tertiary level and leading different lives.  On this momentous occasion, ZS Alumni wil be lauched simultaneously with ZS Alumni official website.

N6_9ZS Alumni is founded to be a platform for former students to network and also for old time’s sake.  Everyone who is present today will automatically be the first members of the ZS Alumni and also the pioneers.  ZS is indisputably the best primary school in Kelantan, and one of the best in the country.  So I believe most of former ZS students are doing well now, and it is the Alumni’s role to bring together all these ex-girls of this glorious alma mater linked together and keep us in touch.  When the Alumni grows bigger, the school can look us up for assistance, maybe handling leadership programmes, fund raising and etcetera.

Our long term goal is to be as strong and influential as Malay College Old Boys Association, or famously known as MCOBA.  I know the idea sounds far fetched, but MCOBA is already 75 years old, we are just starting a new Alumni with a new Vision, TODAY.  If I don’t live to see the day materialize, I hope the future generations will carry the torch for me.  But I do hope that ZS Alumni will already be making its existance strongly felt and has a lot of active members by the time SK Zainab (1) celebrates it’s Gold Jubilee in 2011.

Next year my youngest sister, the 8th in the family will join ZS.  This has proved our loyalty and believe in the school and if my father has sent 8 daughters there, it would not be a surprise if one day my daughters will attend Zainab (1) as well.

ZS has moulded us to who we are today.  We are where we are and who we are because of the strong fundamentals we had been given during our Primary years in ZS. Terima Kasih Cikgu, kerana bakti yang bukan sedikit, Terima Kasih Cikgu, kerana banyak bersabar dengan karenah kami semua, Terima Kasih Cikgu kerana mendidik dengan penuh rasa tanggungjawab dan kasih sayang.

Setinggi-tinggi penghargaan saya ucapkan kepada pihak sekolah kerana meminjamkan LCD Projector, Lily yang menjadikan website Alumni satu kenyataan hanya dalam masa kurang dari 2 minggu, Nolee yang tidak tidur semalaman kerana menyediakan multimedia presentation dan rakan-rakan yang lain (u know who u are) kerana turut membantu menghubungi rakan sekolah yang kebanyakannya tidak ada di Kota Bharu. 

Ada yang sudah berpindah ke luar Kelantan, ada yang masih menuntut di luar negara, ramai yang sudah tamat pengajian dan memasuki alam pekerjaan, dan menanti tawaran kerja, masih ramai juga yang masih menuntut seperti saya, dan semalam, Farah Wahida dari 6 Putih selamat diijabkabulkan, yang pertama dari 6 Putih yang mendirikan rumahtangga.  (siapa tahu mungkin ketua pengawas akan menyusul selepas ini.. tungguuuuu….)

Today’s Reunion is very special because it has been almost 11 years since we left Zainab (1).  The presence of beloved teachers who had taught us more than a decade ago is really touching, many has stayed with ZS and I believe that Sir Mahisham who has transferred to other school still thinks that ZS is unequalled.

Sesungguhnya batch UPSR 1994 memang unik, kerana kami ialah Batch pertama bersama Tuan Haji Nik Abdul Razak.  Pada tahun itu jugalah, batch 1994 memecahkan rekod selama 7 tahun dengan 47 orang mendapat 4A (kalau tidak silap saya).  Saya bangga kerana Batch UPSR 1994 adalah perintis bagi sesuatu yang sangat penting dan bermakna seperti ini.

Selepas perasmian, multimedia presentation akan diadakan untuk mengimbas kembali zaman kanak-kanak.  Gambar-gambar yang akan ditayangkan adalah yang berjaya kami kumpulkan dalam masa 3 hari.  Jadi saya harap tidak ada yang terasa jika tiada gambar mereka di dalam slides nanti.

Sekian sahaja ucapan saya kali ini, semoga majlis hari ini diBerkati Allah dan memberi kenangan indah buat semua. 

Kalau sehari selembar benang,

Lama-lama menjadi kain,

Kita bertemu berbincang-bincang,

Itu ini dan lain-lain.

Kalau ada sumur di ladang,

Boleh hamba menumpang mandi,

Kalau ada umur yang panjang,

Lain kali ketemu lagi.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Miss Tan : The BEST English Guru Ever

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

No, I’m not getting the "Trump fever" of referring everything as the best though it’s really not.

Tan Choon Bin taught me English when I was in 6 Putih, as well as my sister when she was in 6 Kuning.  My batch was the last before she retired.  She made us memorize everything from Present, Past, Past Participle, to antonyms and synonyms to writing poems in cursive.  That explains why I’m so freakingly particular with grammar but I think I rusted a bit these recent years my grammar’s not as perfect.

I haven’t had any problems speaking English for quite some time but when I was face to face with Miss Tan after ELEVEN years of leaving ZS, I was actually very careful in choosing my words as not to give her any hint that I’m now comfortable speaking rojak English most of time.. heheheh..

She declined to attend the reunion, as she declined ALL invitations to any school-related functions.  She’s done with schools and now currently happy travelling around the world with her sisters, whom, if I’m not mistaken, are not married as well.

She was glowing when talking about her numerous trips to China, her adventure inside the pyramid in Egypt, the excitement of Europe tour and how boring New Zealand is.  She looked healthy (we guessed she’s around 66) and actually said Tai Chi is stupid.  "Tai Chi is nothing, people doing it feels they are a cut above others because they remember all the fancy moves but my brisk walking up and down the stairs in school was what kept me healthy and fit, not the stupid Tai Chi."  That’s the closest I can quote her.

She said she’s happy to learn that her students are doing well (was delighted when I mentioned Kak We’s doing MESL) and said the magic words… "I’m glad you speak very good English", apart from telling me and Nolee we made her day by visiting her.

Even though I was quite frustrated she turned us down, I was (still am) actually happy, or rather, ecstatic to hear THE guru who gave me the strong fundamentals in English Language approved of my English.  She’s the one who made my day.  Miss Tan, I will never forget you as long as I speak English.  Cheers to you!!!

2 Months..

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

At first it was the BEST 2 months in my life ever

And it was the 2 months I’ll NEVER FORGET

Then it was the BEST MISTAKE 

Then it was my FAVOURITE MISTAKE

But now it’s the 2 months I WISH I NEVER HAD

Sabun MAY

Wednesday, June 15th, 2005

I wanted to shower.. but there weren’t any soaps around and the bottles of shower gel i saw a few days ago has gone except for one. And it’s empty. How am I suppose to mandi-lah?  I went out of the bathroom wrapped only with towel and went down to call Mama and while dialing i saw an unwrapped (new) soap somewhere in the room next to the staircase.  It’s "MAY".  I fail to remember when was the last time i use "MAY" soap but I think i vaguely remember there were lots of mini "MAY" bars at my beloved late Ninda’s place.  So I took it and off to the bathroom i went….

If you treat him nice, he’ll say you’re in love with him

If you don’t, he says you’re proud

If you dress nicely, he’ll say you’re trying to impress him

If you don’t, he says you’re from the kampung

If you argue with him, he says you’re stubborn

If you keep quiet, he says you have no brains

If you’re smarter than him, he will lose face

If he is smarter than you, he is great

If you don’t love him, he will try to possess you

If you love him, he will try to leave you

If you don’t let him kiss you, he’ll say you don’t love him

If you let him kiss you, he says you are cheap

If you tell him your problems, he says you’re troublesome

If you don’t, he says you don’t trust him

If you scold him, you’re like a nanny to him

If he scolds you, it’s because he cares for you

If you break your promise, you cannot be trusted

If he breaks his promise, he is forced to do so

If you smoke, you’re a bad girl

If he smokes, he is a gentleman

If you do well in an exam, he says it’s luck

If he does well, it’s brains

If you hurt him, you’re cruel

If he hurts you, you’re too sensitive

Guys, how on earth can we girls trust you?  You’re so unreasonable, unreliable, unrealistic and unbelievable!

DAMN PERFECTIONIST

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

I know i’m a damn perfectionist.. and i wonder how i can be such a perfectionist when my own bed is actually a mess (i place all my stuff around me so that i won’t forget they actually exist, coz once i keep them neatly i can’t be bothered to touch them again).

Bloody perfectionist.. is that the reason i dun have a boyfriend? hahahah.. i dun really care anyway.. not like i’m making anybody’s life a hell, am i? and i’ve met too many losers recently i dun think i really want to be in any kind of relationship with guys..

this reminds me to Esoh’s baby tee which i like so much i contemplated on snitching it.  It’s black in colour and has a white factory icon and the caption reads: Stupid Factory - Where Boys Are Made… Brilliant, huh?!

Treasure i found in my own room

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

I was scanning the book shelf, looking for my old autograph books that i thought i put there.. and i did found some.. and other stuff that i haven’t touch for years..

I found a locked autograph book.. so i picked the lock with a needle and succeed in opening it.. yay!! and oh my!! the stuff written inside by friends and cousins are totally hillarious!! I’ll post the excerpts later.. and i couldn’t contain the hilarity i called Mek Na, Nolee and Jijiey and read the stuff to them.. hahahah… Jijiey denied writing any of it.. huehue.. wait dahhliing.. i’m soooo…. gonna show them to you!

Then it dawned to me I’ve been having a passion for writing since primary.. I did write a lot of things, crap mostly I guess, but I kept all of it.. and I still have the essays I wrote in school when I always got really good marks…

I didn’t really realize it before but now i do.. i’ve been doing lots of things not related to what i’m majoring now. Coordinating events, emceeing, networking, writing.. lots of people have been telling me i’m in the wrong course.. but heck, i chose CiMA so that i can be called a professional, and doing stuff not related to Accountancy actually makes me Jill of all trades, am i not..???
