Most fruitful break

I have my 2 weeks break start from last last week. It is a good timing actually as the first day of break is Ching Ming. But who expect there is a maths competition during the holiday. So, i have to waste rm21.90 x 2 = rm43.80 to go back to kl and go back to kuantan again just for the sake of Euclid Mathematics Competition.

This is not the main point here. I thought this holiday would be the same past holiday. Boring, same routine everyday, just stay in house and go yum cha with my friends. Luckily, it turns out to be a very interesting holiday.

I want to take back my SPM original certs. And i choose a very unique day to go back. It is saturday. But saturday usually don't have school right? And so co-incident, that saturday has school. At the end, i meet more teachers than students that day (can't blame the school, sabs students famous for ponteng-ing on saturday).

I have a chat with a lot of teachers. From GPK to discipline and prefect teachers, from ketua panitia to my f1 teachers, from retiring teachers to new teachers but i don't meet the new pengetua as i don't know her at all.

As usual, some of them have forgotten me where am i heading after this. Same thing again, once i say out South Africa or Afrika Selatan or Nan Fei, they are taken aback and laugh. Nevermind, i get used to it already.

For teachers that already knew i am going to South Africa, they ask me to take back some diamonds for them. Got red diamond, blue diamond, black diamond even blood diamond. I don't know what the hack is blood diamond, but i remember there is a movie called Blood Diamond.

And the quote of the day is from highly respected English teacher in Sabs or maybe in whole kuantan, Puan Rusnah. She says

Hey, you looked older now. Last time u have baby face!!

Now i only know i had baby face last time. =.='''

But, I take it as a compliment!!! Thanks teachers!! Your blood diamond will be sent to you!!!

I meet a lot of teachers. Mr Yong, Pn Rusnah, Pn Gan, Mr KC, Pn Tan, Miss Quek, Cikgu Che Rekiah, Pn Phang, Cikgu Ishak, Cikgu Roduan and lots more (i have forgotten most of my teachers' names....sorry...)

It is a lot of fun meeting these teachers again. No more the tense feeling that had drawn an invisible line between us. What left now is the mutual respect and gratitude from me to all the teachers. Terima Kasih Cikgu!!!

And i visit the whole school again as if i were a very great alumni just came back from somewhere else. Visit class by class. And see some friends that i have not met for a long time. Koo ko, gol tiang, shwu teng (actually i not very close to her last time but now it seem closer, weird huh), teo sir, my pengawas juniors, han nan (maybe wrong spelling), billy, yong qian, hui ling and lots more (i lazy to think anymore)

But so unluckily that day all the monitors have to attend one seminar (konon-konon seminar). That's mean i not really have a good chat with 2 of my best pals, ang and chee hong. When there is a gain, there is a loss. But i know we still have lots of chances to be together.

At the end, it seem like the most valuable item i gained from this trip back to sabs is friendship and priceless memories and not that single paper of SPM cert.

Another climax of this break is i meet someone that i have not seen for more than a year. She is wan ching. Last time i met her was during Hari Kecemerlangan dan Anugerah (something like that la). Ei, no, it is not more than a year, it is almost a year. Haha.

Ok, still that demure and naive as last time. No big change except become more joyful and change her hairstyle. And thanks for her punctuality, i almost sleep in Oldtown while waiting for her.

I visit Teluk Chempedak, the must go place for every 游子. The place that can remind me i am still a Kuantanese deep inside my heart. Yes, KL might has the best shopping centers and clubs and eateries, but Kuantan has the best beach. Undeniable, TC always be the best place to relax, rewind, take a deep breath and run away from the hustle, bustle towncenter and hectic studying schedule.

Oh ya, almost forget this. Luckily, i also meet some of my St John juniors....siew ean, hui chien and mei hui. And suddenly pop out ivan. A very pleasing night for me. Enjoy some laughter with them.

The day before i leave kuantan, i go clubbing. Where else if not the only club i manage to find that does not need to pay cover fees. But, so sad it disappoints me. I don't find the clubbing ambience there. It is more like a pub or karaoke for me. Except people here are younger. But i think their Carlsberg is not that poor. It is more plain than usual. Hmmm, anyone also feel the same thing as me everytime clubbing at After 7?

I become a bad boy this time. I teach one of my best buddies to consume alcohol. It is not a good deed at all. And this unlucky victim is Bentley!!! Luckily he does not drunk after drinking one small glass of Carlsberg. But i think is because of modified Carlsberg making him not drunk.

I watch Arsenal Vs Chelsea after clubbing at a mamak stall with him. More and more memory rush to my brain. I remember last time with my friends watching football at mamak stall. Although it is a distant memory, but i still can feel it. The excitement and passion still remain in my heart.

It is saturday night. I am going back the day after. As the night slowly walking away and dawn is nearing, i know that i have to back to reality.

I have to face the truth. I still have very important exam to face in 3 weeks time. No more entertainment and pleasure time for me anymore. Have to work hard. No pain no gain. Bitter first, sweet later (先苦后甜).

But for sure, these 2 weeks break is the most remarkable break i ever had. Thanks for everyone for entertaining me during my break. I will cherish it and treasure it forever.

THANKS!!!
