Aku BuDaK SMI-Part 2

me on the left

3A 1B. That was my UPSR results. As I mentioned earlier, although the results was not so bad an I still can enter any residential school especially SEKOLAH AGAMA, but sorry to say laa..not interested. Except those two SBP schools as I wrote in Part 1, i have decided to stay in SMI.

1992

What a beautiful design!! That was my first impression on the magnificent building of SMI. It looks like an English/Gregorian medieval era castle. I was thrown into this 1A8 class. Unlike the primary, there was no APARTHEID and no classification of classes. There were 40 of us in this class. Each class the number of students were 40. So, there were 400 students for for each form and all together there were 2,500 students inclusive the Form 6 students. However, the Form 1 and Form 2 students were in the evening session as the school cant accommodate such a large number of students.

There are 4 Houses in SMI. The Red=Augustus; Blue=La Salle; Yellow=U Paul and Green=Patrick. These houses were named after the name of Brothers who had contributed a lot to SMI. The most prominent figure is Brother Ultan Paul. He died in 2000. My house was U Paul. I love this house. Coz yellow is my favourite colour. And during 1992, U Paul was a power house in sports. Great sportsmen came from this house. Go to hell with other houses. Hehehe.

My class teacher in form 1A8 is Mr. Loh Eng Seng. A tough man. He is my Math teacher. If we made a mistake or answered incorrectly, he will pull our side burns. Ouuchh..it hurts. Although his attitude was disliked by us, he was actually a nice and friendly man.

During form 1 I met new friends. Apart from SMI 1, some of them were from SMI 2 , La Salle school, SK Manjoi 2 and Poi Lam School. No wonder there were so many students in SMI. But its alright "the more the merrier". I got my new friends, among others Affendi Mohamad(still keep in touch), Azman Shah, Amarjit Singh( now a Datuk), Chai Kent E and few others. Lupa laa...hehehe.

The most exciting moment when you enter form 1 is everything seems new. There are more opportunities and more adventures. Students would like to try something new. The most exciting one is when you join a uniform body. I joined the PKBM(Pasukan Kadet Bersatu Malaysia). I dont know why I want to join Kadet. Maybe want to be tough or be a Macho Guy hahaha.

There was some tendency during my days. The Malays intend to join PKBM. The Chinese more to Scout. The Indians and others?? In between. Some will join PKBM or Scouts and some will choose others. My days with PKBM lasted for few months. Then I quit. The reason: BORINGGG!!! Have to kawad and kawad and kawad. PKBM was the last uniform body I joined.:)

Apart from studies the Michaelians are keen into sports. The most exciting event was the INTER CLASS FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT. Guess who were the finalists for form 1 class? 1A8 and 1A10. I played as a defender. In those days the concept was easy. Those who were FAT and BIG will play as DEFENDER. My class was the champions after defeating 1A10. HAHA..actually in the final we lost 0-1 but 1A10 was disqualified as they had filled in the suspended players.

Honours won by 1A8? Yeah...we were the champions for marching competition. The Commander or leader for the marching was myself. Unanimously agreed by the whole class that I should lead them to the glory. Or else I will be KENA MAKI. But how should i lead these bunch of guys? How to win the title? I came out with a suggestion, what if I do some gimmick? I proposed that we followed just like a band leader(what they normally call for band leader) did. We throw something in the air and catch it just like the band leader did. So, my friend, Michael Lee who was a band members thought me how to throw the stick and catch it. DAMNNN!! Initially it was hard for me to throw it in the air but due to everyday training it became easier and BERBALOI.
I still remember the applause from the spectators when I managed to catch the stick. HAHAHA...akhirnya tak kena maki. But the next two years we failed to defend the title.

Mm..what else to talk about? Yeahh the cross country...
The event that Michaelians love to do annually. We had to run from the entrance of the school to the bridge near Telekom(now TM) building, then ran along the Sg Kinta River up to the next bridge near Gunung Cheroh then returned to school. U know what? I discovered myself that I am into athletic. I managed to obtain 15th place out of 400 from 1 students. Wahhhh..Although I am big man but i have the strength to run. Yeaa lorrr...that time i was not so fat like today. huhu...
Then after found my new talent I joined the athletic club.The best thing about athletic club was that we can ponteng kelas and joined the seniors Form 3-5 in training.

1993

The second year in SMI makes me more understand of being a Michaelian. Last year we didnt have juniors as we were the youngest one. But now with the presence of the newly admitted form 1 students, we were the seniors and it was the time for us to bully the juniors hahaha.

Being a Michaelian, we had been thought to do well in study. This to maintain the good name of the school. As a Michaelian, outsiders used to believe that the SMI students are well verse or fluent in English. This assumption is not 100% true. Some of us during school were not that good in English. We used to speak BROKEN ENGLISH. But somehow we gradually became good due to the hardwork of the teachers in teaching us.

History was my preference. Maths and Science were not my interest. I did well in history. Hard for me to understand Maths although my class teacher who tought me Maths, Mr. Tan Lee Kuai tried to make me and my classmates love the subject. Mr Tan was a nice teacher. His appearance impressed us. His hair and clothes reflects the 70's era. He still maintain the image of John Travolta. Long sideburn and bell bottom pants were his image during that year. But during my recent visit and got to meet him, his 70's look has been fade away.

This year I had been appointed as an assistant monitor. Being an assistant to Chai Kent E who was the monitor. Well, normal routine to take care of the class and wish SELAMAT PAGIIII CIKGU....(IF MONITOR WAS NOT AROUND).....

As an assistant monitor we were required to attend a leadership course. It was held at La Salle center. Nearby primary school field. That was the first time I went to the center. This Centre was the home for the Brothers and during that time it was the residence of Bro. Vincent Corkery and Bro Ultan Paul.

In the film Goodbye Boys, La Salle Centre was the LOKASI PENGGAMBARAN during the scene of PROM NITE. I still remember that hall. It was the place where the monitors get together during the course. It was a one day occasion. Games and motivational talk were held. Well I just followed the event although a little bit boring and made me YAWN...
but the best part of it was th MAKAN TIME....BBQ...made me KENYANG....

Back to what happened in school and my class. Well..we resume class as usual...from monday to friday...went to school...listen to what teacher said...normal routine...
No Uniform Body...No Society joined...BUT for sports ..YES...Athletic Club...
I was quite disappointed as no RUGBY thought to the juniors in the evening...NO RUGBY TEACHER to teach us...as Mr. Choo Ah Chye was in the morning session....
I did not represent my school in any sports....well it was a hard competition between the students to represent the school in any sports....only the best qualified....
BUT..in this year...the most memorable event which was still remembered in my mind was the 100m final for FORM 2....
I managed to qualify for the final as during the prelimary round only 8 runners turned out....
so...these 8 runners automatically qualified.....
the results.....LAST hahaha.....

Thus...nothing much happened is this year but we were getting close among the classmates...we get to know each other more deeply....but Thank God...our relationship was not beyond abnormal...hehehe....we were friends ONLY....

THE END OF PART 2....NEXT..COMING UP...THE PMR YEAR....

GILA....

korang nak tau tak bila start aku menulis puisi dan sajak2...rasanya lepas sekolah...
masa masuk MATRIK UIA....dalam thn 1998...

puisi pertama aku tu berjudul GILA

Gila ..
Orang Kata Aku GilaTapi Aku Tak Pasti Aku Gila
Atau Gila-Gila

Gilanya Aku Esok dan Semalam
Tapi Yang Pasti Aku Tak Gila
Untuk Selamanya

Kata Orang
Tanjung Rambutan Tempat Orang Gila
Tapi Aku Lihat Orang Gila Ada Di Mana-Mana
Di Parlimen, Di Hotel dan Di Gelanggang Pertaruhan

Ramai Tak Suka
Sama Orang Gila
Bau Busuk Dan Hodoh
Tapi Aku Lihat Ramai Orang Mulut Berbau Hancing
Keji Sana Sini Tanpa Batasan

Gila Crazy Atau Apa Bahasa Pun
Ia tetap Gila
Kalau Aku Gila Semua Orang Gila
Tak Siapa Boleh Kata Mereka Tak Gila
Sebab mereka Pun Gila Macam Aku

hahaha...tapahapa puisi aku ni...tapi dapat jugak masuk majalah Law Society masa kat matrik hehehe

:::TITANIC....kapal yg karam tahun 1912:::

:::Fraternity Futsal:::

semalam ada futsal yang dianjurkan oleh SMI OLD BOYS(SMIOB). Bersempena dengan cuti CNY, dijangkakan ramai yang balik. Futsal kali ni bertemakan ABANG vs ADIK....batch 90an lwn 00an....
news pasal event futsal ni dah merebak sampai ke smi facebook group..selain drp blog rasmi SMIOB....

aku bertanggungjawab utk menjayakan event ni...kalau aku tak dapat dtg apa pulak kata bebudak lain...aku ckp mcm ni sebab semalam kereta aku..abg aku nk pinjam...ada hal emergency sket....aku dah le gelabah...mcm mana nak g main futsal ni...

so mesej punya mesej....member satu batch aku, MIOR (btch 96) yang juga org kuat SMIOB dapat le kasi aku tumpang...mior memang aku respect...komitmen dia dgn SMIOB memang bagus...walaupun dia sibuk dgn keje dia sbg lawyer dan sibuk dgn gerakan2 nasionalisnya especially utk org Melayu...dia masih ade masa utk futsal walaupun dia ngaku dia injured dan takleh main...dia dtg jap nak bagi skongan moral...walaupun masa tghari smlm dia baru saja sampai Ipoh dan malam tu jugak nak gerak g Kl...semangat MICHAELIAN...sungguh aku respek

cerita pasal futsal....alhamdulillah berjaya dilaksanakan. ingtkan btch adik2 yg ramai..rupanya tak disangka2 budak2 bcth 90an yg ramai...especially btch bwah aku...btch 98...dan yg lagi meriah futsal ialah dgn kehadiran Michaelians2 dari kaum India yang turut join...sayangnya member Cina tak dapat dtg..ialah raya pertama CNY....mana nak dtgnya....

so pasal game....walaupun dah makin bertambah umur tapi budak2 btch 90an masih lagi mantap dari segi skill dan fitness walaupun berat badan dah naik....dan apa yg begitu terasa adalah apabila perasaan begitu teruja dapat jumpa balik junior2 dan senior2...dan bersembang apa yg diorang tgh buat skrg..dan cerita ttg kisah zaman sekolah...nampak keceriaan di setiap wajah Michaelians yg dtg....ada yg dah lama tak jumpa...sekali jumpa terus nak keep in touch hehehe

actually tujuan futsal ni adalah sbg salah satu xtvt reunion SMIOB dalam mengeratkan hubungan antara senior dan junior dari pelbagai batch...kami gunakan sukan sbg satu medium utk merapatkan persaudaraan di antara Michaelians...tak kisah sama ada ko melayu, cina, india atau apa2 bangsa...as long as ko adalah budak SMI.....

InsyAllah aku dan kawan2 aku dalam SMIOB akan teruskan xtvt2 sebegini dan harapan kami pada tahun ni adalah utk menganjurkan the 1st SMIOB Futsal Inter Batch Tournament pada thn ni. Satu tugas yg tak mustahil dilakukan dan satu tugasan yg mencabar. Dan kami akan teruskan perjuangan demi memartabatkan nama sekolah dan diri kami sbg seorang Michaelian...

Once a Michaelian Always a Michaelian.....

:::Naik Bas:::

ari tu aku saja buat giler. dah lama tak naik bas aku tetiba nak g naik bas g jalan ipoh. g sorang2..bus stop belakang umah aku je.
selalu nak g mana2 naik kereta..so bila naik bas rasa kecik aje..hehehe..kalau kat Kl naik pengangkutan awam takde masalah sebab org keje pejabat ramai malas bawak kereta...kalau kat Ipoh ni lain sket....org akan nampak pelik...elok2 ade kereta naik bas...

yang aku discover bila naik bas:

1. dah ramai pendatang asing indon/bangla/myanmar/nepal/vietnam naik bas..org ipoh makin lama dah ramai tak naik bas...

2. tiket dah makin naik..dulu mase sklh puluh2 sen aje...

3. stesen bas ipoh masih lagi mcm tu..lama giler dowwh stesen bas ni sejak zaman filem hitam putih lagi...

4. bas dah tak lmbt mcm zaman dulu...setiap 10 minit ada bas...efisien...

5. aku ingt nak g yik foong masa hari CNY....tapi tutup lak...tapi kawasan area yik foong..super kinta/market ipoh...penuh dgn pendatang....mana org tempatan ni....

6. kawasan pekan baru dan pekan lama dah jadi port pendatang....org2 ipoh ramai lepak kat kinta city....ipoh parade...

7. teringat zaman masa naik bas masa sekolah...perrghhhh 12 thn yg lalu...

tapi tu lah sometimes bila naik bas kita akan terasa mcm kita ni dah jadi rendah martabatnya...dgn erti kata lain MALU....

tp sebenarnya ia mengajar kita bahwa kita tak akan selalunya berada di atas...kadang bila kita naik bas kita akan dapat menilai semula kehidupan kita...dan melihat dari kacamata org2 yang tidak ada transport....

mcm aku...mengajar aku jugak yang kadangkala kita kena tgk kehidupan org yg tak bernasib baik mcm kita...

dan pengalaman itu yang akan mengajar kita utk mencorakkan kehidupan kita dgn lebih bagus di masa hadapan dan agar kita tidak terlupa bahawa hidup ini ibarat roda...kadangkala di atas kadangkala di bawah....

Gadis Melayu...

Habis dah Gadis Melayu....pemenangnya boleh tahan...sweet mukanya...daripada 5 finalis si Aida ni yang menang....

Komen:
aku dari start rancangan ni aku tak pernah nak tgk...sebab entah aku rasa macam program ni satu lagi program realiti yang tak berfaedah....tapi mak aku yg selalu tgk...selalu berebut....aku nak tgk movie...atau cerita lain...tapi sebab org tua nak tgk..takpela biarkan...aku tak tgk pun...aku terus kuar rumah jap...lepak dgn membe....

Gadis Melayu ni umpama versi Miss Universe...tapi dalam konteks dunia Melayu yang penuh dengan budaya dan sopan santunnya....setiap minggu kononnya ada tugasan..belajar silat..memasak..menghormati org tua...perlu ke semua tu ditunjuk?

Untuk tujuan apa...untuk beritahu kepada umum inilah dunia org melayu sebenarnya....yang dah lama hilang...atau inilah ciri2 wanita melayu yang sepatutnya menjadi pilihan lelaki....

persoalannya di sini kenapa semua finalis dan peserta ni kebanyakannya yg cute2 dan lawa2...di mana perempuan yg muka mcm tembok pecah...yg gemuk mcm enot...adakah tak ada langsung perempuan2 sedemikian yg layak utk menjadi gadis melayu....

as my fren said this program is a hypocrite program...is it?

for me...memang ada unsur2 hypocrite sebab kalau tgk semua perempuan prog gadis melayu ni control lawa dan jawapan2 yg dijawab di atas segala persoalan yang diajukan adalah jawapan yg sebenarnya tidak sebenar2nya mencerminkan siapa diri mereka yg sebenar...

mcm kawan aku ckp letak hidden camera masa prog ni..baru dapat tau realiti kehidupan mereka sebenar...maksud kawan aku tu bukan nak tgk gadis2 ni tanpa pakaian....tapi lihat pergaulan mereka dgn kawan2 dan semasa prog dan dari situ kita dapat lihat their true colours....

so nak tak nak kita tak boleh lari yg prog ni sebenarnya tak ada bezanya dgn Miss Universe...cuma ya lah takde pakaian mandi....but at least dlm miss universe they show who they really are...

tentang persembahan finalis masa final...bagi aku so-so aje...sebab nak kata mereka berlakon dgn baik...tak buat dgn sepenuh hati pun....tak menjiwai watak sangat....konsep persembahan aku tgk sama aje...nyanyian...puisi...main alat muzik...berlakon..semuanya ke arah hiburan....

cuba lah mereka bersyarah ke...berpidato ke....atau tunjukkan sket keintelektualan mereka...atau sememangnya penonton memang suka elemen2 hiburan especially org Melayu kita....

well....satu lagi program realiti yang matlamatnya hanya nak cari perempuan cantik..yg boleh diketengahkan dlm entertainment industry....bagi aku gadis melayu hanyalah metafora....kerana gadis melayu sebenarnya adalah gadis yang memelihara maruahnya...dan tidak dipertontonkan wajahnya utk tatapan dan undian orang....kerana gadis melayu yang sebanrnya adalah gadis yang tahu akan peranannya sebagai khalifah Allah di muka bumi ini....

gandingan adlin dan afdlin mengingatkan aku kepada gandingan p ramlee dan ar tompel....memang serasi dan lawak bila digandingkan.....

Lee Chong Wei menang lagi...

Yesterday Dato Lee Chong Wei Won again. This was the second title for him after he won the Master Super Series. He won the terbuka Malaysia after defeated Park Sung Hwan of Korea with 21-14 & 21-13

He won without the appearance of Chinese players. Would he be the champions of if the Great Wall players were there? In the previous tournaments it seems LCW failed to beat Lin Dan although he was the World No 1 during the game against the Olympic Champions.

LCW must prove to the fans and to the world that he deserves to be in the No 1 spot and no one could take his place. In doing so he got no options but to beat the Chinese players especially the mighty Lin Dan.

All England and World Championship titles must be grabbed by him to make the Malaysian fans proud of him.

For the doubles pairs, Khoo Kiean Keat and Tan Boon Heong, they must keep up their good performances. Do not repeat the horrendous performance which leads the criticism against them.

To Khoo, make us Michalians proud of you. Remember the day when u came to the school to receive the honours from the Michaelians? As a Michaelian you can do it and against the odd to achieve success.

The only Malay doubles, Fairuzizuwan and Zakry, you guys show rapid improvement. Follow the footsteps of Razif and Jailani Sidek.

Thus, Malaysians still can rely to the players to deliver success as we are still among the best in the world.

Damn U ISRAEL!!!

The Palestinians are at the moment were in grieved after the fucking Israelian soldiers attacked their soil and killed the innocent people including the children.
See the picture below.

This little girl has a marvellous future waiting for her but it seems that she will not be there. Her life was taken by the explosion which turned her house into pile of rubble. What is your thought and feeling when u see this picture?

What the United Nation has done to stop this horror war? And what have we done to save our Muslim brothers and sisters from being executed by this arrogant Zionist? Do we have to be like OIC...doing nothing but just keep silence and act as nothing happens? OIC= Ohhh I Seee.........

America? This super power nation foreign policy remains as what it is although the leader changed...

What can u do to help the Palestinians?

Erti Persahabatan

Bila aku dengar lagu Metalian( Kumpulan Rock Kapak 80an-Vocalist namanya Tana) "erti persahabatan" ni rasa best pulak lagu dia. Melodi dan liriknya memang berkesan dalam hati. Tapi pelik lagu ni tak pernah famous pun. Setahu aku penyanyi dari Singapura, Didi Cazli iaitu anak didik M Nasir pernah menyanyikan lagu ni. Alaa..Didi ni iras-iras penyanyi kegilaan org Singapore, Taufik Batishah. Cuba hayati lirik;

Saat gembira tertawa, saat berduka kita sama-sama duduk bermuram durja
Kita saling memerlukan menghormati satu ikatan
Itulah.... ertinya persahabatan...

Adakalanya terkasar bahasa
Tapi kita saling memaafinya
Pahit manis kecapi bersama
Bersatu hadapi segala

Bersamalah teman kita hargai mahkota suci ooo....
Bersamalah teman kita harumi ..istana erti persahabatan...

Berkekalan hendaknya kemesraan di antara kita...
Seandainya tidak lagi bersama...semat kenangan mengusik jiwa...

Korang nak tau tak? Lagu ni dijadikan lagu tema oleh budak2 Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman (STAR) Ipoh...especially bila time mereka nak berpisah setelah 5 tahun hidup bersama sebumbung dan berkongsi suka duka bersama....memang kena le dengan liriknya...boleh menangis ooo dengar lagu ni....

According to budak STAR asal usul lagu ni dinyanyikan bila mereka sedang tunggu keretapi nak balik kampung kat Stesen Keretapi Ipoh(dulu2 mana ada highway, tak siap lagi) sekitar tahun 80'an...sementara nak tunggu keretapi mereka nyayikan lagu ni...selain daripada lagu ni mereka juga terkenal dgn cheers mereka(mcm budak koleq) dgn lagu2 sepeti rouse up, when the star, dan byk lagi....dengar cerita cheers dah tak popular di sekolah tu kebelakangan ni....

Tapi walaupun STARIANS selalu mendendangkan lagu "erti persahabatan ni"...aku rasa lagu ni bukan hak milik mereka...tetap milik Metalian(nama brutal tapi lagu jiwang karat)...

MICHAELIANS pun boleh nyanyikan lagu ni jugak walaupun kami tak hidup sebumbung tapi berlainan bumbung....cuma kami belajar waktu siang aje satu bumbung..tapi waktu malam kami tak tidur sebumbung....

Lagu yang bagus dan indah melodinya memang akan diingati dalam sanubari....dan akan jadi siulan bagi mengingati kenangan terindah bersama orang-orang yang disayangi.....

p/s -nak dengar lagu ni cari aje dalam youtube ataupun mp3..dan download le.....

hehe lagu ini kutujukan utk rakan2 Michaelian aku, kawan2 seuniversiti, kawan2 yob4ever, kawan2 Aizat FC dan kawan2 yang masih mengingati akan persahabatan kita.....

AkU BuDaK SMI-Part 1

Aku seorang MICHAELIAN. Sebab aku bersekolah di ST. MICHAEL'S INSTITUTION IPOH. Short formnya SMI. Aku bersekolah sejak aku umur 7 tahun sampai le umur aku 17 tahun. Bayangkan selama tu aku bersekolah di situ. Most of my childhood i spent my years there. Berak, kencing, peluh aku semua di situ.

Masa sekolah rendah aku di St. Michael 1. Yang membezakan 1 dan 2 hanya pada dacingnya. Satu kaler kuning manakala 2 kaler putih. Dan lawaknya setiap tahun dan setiap penggal kena bergilir-gilir sesi persekolahan. Selalunya bulan Januari sampai bulan 5 SMI 1 sekolah pagi dan SMI 2 sekolah petang.Dah seronok2 sekolah pagi kena pulak tukar petang. BOSAN!! Darjah Satu aku di kelas biru sampai le darjah 4.

Masa darjah 4 aku dilantik menjadi pengawas. Biasala jadi pengawas kena jaga kelas masa cikgu meeting, jaga tempat2 yg di kawasan sekolah especially masa sekolah belum start dan masa rehat. Kalau kena jaga kelas senior darjah 6 memang teruk le. Kena buli. Gila apa kena jaga abg2 senior dua thn lebih tua. Tapi senang aje, report kat cikgu pengawas. Senyap le abg2 senior yg konon nak tunjuk samseng padahal masih hingusan lagi huhu. masa darjah 4 juga aku X-Cident. Aku jatuh masa main kat Taman. Tangan aku terhentak kat longkang. Tak patah tapi pergelangan tangan aku terhiris. Doktor kata nasib aku baik. Sikit lagi je nak kena urat nadi aku. kalau tekena urat nadi dan terputus, maka aku dah tiada lagi di dunia sejak 1989. Syukur Alhamdulilah.

Tahun 1990 masa aku darjah 5, SMI 1 buat polisi APARTHEID dan DISKRIMINASI. Dah elok bersama sejak darjah satu kena pulak tukar kelas. Berpisah le aku dgn kawan2 rapat masa tu, Azlan Fairuz, Frederick Fernandez dan juga Liew Kah Wei. Kah Wei aku ingt lagi dia kena cekak kolar baju dgn pengetua JIT SINGH(paling dibenci sebab garang sangat). So aku ditempatkan di kelas 5 MERAH. Ikut ranking kelas merah kelas yang ranking ketiga kurang pandai. Yang tersangat pandai HIJAU. Second pandai, BIRU. Dan yang paling tak pandai kelas KUNING. Entah apa tujuanpoihak sekolah buat begitu. TAK ADIL!!

Tapi entah macam mana di penghujung tahun tu Cikgu Kelas, Cikgu Noraini kata aku layak masuk kelas HIJAU. Kelas nerd huhuhu. Yang dapat masuk hijau, seingat aku...aku dan regis ArulRaj.

Tahun 1991 darjah 6 masuk le aku dalam kelas nerd ni. Yang aku masih ingat budak 6 HIJAU ni, Azlan Fairuz(jumpa balik mamat ni hehe), Soffan, Shamsuriani, Zunisyam,Hasmardy, Low Thang Siang(aku dgn dia kena sepak dgn cikgu kelas, cikgu Hamid sebab aku kejar dia keliling sekolah sebab dia kutuk aku ), Loh Wai Chew. Yang lain tak ingat. Kelas ni sebab ramai nerd dan budak pandai dalam bab sukan memang kantoi. Lawan bolasepak je mesti kena belasah especially dengan kelas kuning. mana taknya low Thang Siang keeper hehe. Aku selalu main defend aje hehe. Tapi seingat aku Thang Siang not bad jugak main keeper.

Masa darjah 6 aku ditawarkan untuk menjadi Ketua Pengawas SMI 1. Tapi entah kenapa aku tolak tawaran tu. Aku cakap aku tak ready. Mereka kata nak lantik budak melayu jadi ketua pengawas. tapi fikirkan balik rugi jugak aku tolak tawaran tu. Setelah menolak tawaran tersebut, aku cuma dilantik jadi penolong ketua pengawas. yang jadi Ketua Pengawas, Chee Kin Ghee. Damn!! difikirkan balik RUGI betul. Cikgu pun satu, nak lantik, lantiklah, jgn offer. Once ada offer there will be a rejection. Make it as an order or a command. Of course I will obey.:)

Gila beb. Kelas 6 Hijau ni power gila bebudaknya. Masa kelas 5 MERAH aku boleh dapat no 2 dalam kelas, masuk kelas HIJAU aku NO 2 jugak tapi dari belakang. Rasa kerdil sungguh. Tapi tak apa semangat nak skor semua A dalam UPSR tetap menjadi matlamat utama.

Tibalah masanya. Dah minum berapa byk botol air penawar. Nak terangkan hati bila jawab soalan. Periksa UPSR masa tu kat Dewan Sekolah Menengah. Periksa dari hari Isnin sampai Khamis. Subjek BM(pemahaman), BM(penulisan), BI dan Matematik. Lepas habis exam....HOORAAYYYY...merdeka....

Selang beberapa bulan kemudian, results UPSR keluar. Aku dapat 3A 1B. Matematik aku dapat B. Kawan-kawan lain ramai yang dapat 4A. Hancur harapan aku nak masuk sekolah berasrama penuh terutamanya Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman(STAR) atau Malay College Kuala Kangsar(MCKK). Sedih tak dapat Matematik A. Tapi tak apa, menanti aku pada tahun berikutnya, adalah ST.MICHAEL'S INSTITUTION IPOH. Tak jauh, sebelah aje. Bezanya aku tak dapat dok hostel. Dok rumah.

Berakhirlah kehidupan aku di sekolah rendah. Di saat itu juga aku berpisah dengan kawan-kawan aku Azlan, Zunisyam, Shamsuriani dan budak Melayu yang lain. Mereka masuk SBP. Azlan masuk sekolah agama kat BOTA. Yang tinggal teruskan perjuangan di SMI Soffan (kecewa mcm aku gak dapat 1 B, tak dapat pergi MCKK, tapi form 4 dia dapat jugak jadi budak koleq.)

DAN SMI MENJEMPUT AKU DATANG PADA 1992.....

My writing:- the last time I wrote about MSL is when I sent to Ipoh Echo for them to publish my article. Masa tu aku puji pemain and Steve Darby. Tapi itu dulu. PERAK 2009 is different from that Liverpool chap era. This writing I post kat blog SMIOB and yob4ever.com

Malaysian Super League 2009 will raise it's curtain on Saturday, 3-1-2009. The 2007 & 2008 treble champions, Kedah will entertain Selangor at Darulaman stadium for the Charity Shield match.

The Perak team under the new management, coach and players will begin their first match against Kuala Muda Naza at home. As a new young team, the newly appointed coach, M. Karathu ( former coach of SMI in 1988) said in the media that the young Perak team is a new and inexperience team. The Perak team collapsed after the departure of the almost 90% of players including some of the seniors to other state teams due to the failure of the old PAFA Management to settle the 4 months arrears of the players salary.

There is no hope for the team to win any trophies, but the objective is to stay and be among the top 10 teams in the league. Perakians are known for their passion and love towards football. The fans whether in Perak or in the Klang Valley will go to the stadium and support the team. Anywhere you can find Perakians sometimes wear the Perak team jersey to show that they are proud of the team. No wonder Perak fans were recognized as the Best Fans for two consecutive years in 2007 & 2008.

Gone are the days of Steve Darby's typical English game. His game plan 3-5-2 approach was not suitable at all for the Perak team. The fans know it and they refuse to come to the stadium at most of the game for last season. No major trophies won under his 3 years stint in Perak.

His predecessors, Tony Netto and Karl Heinz Weigang achievements were better. During these two most successful coaches era, Perak game was a worth to watch. Their "samba" style and fast pace as well as short passes game were admired by the fans. In those days the stadium was packed with fans regardless the outcome of the game.

The stubborn chap Karl Heinz Weigang gave us the 1998 and 2000 Malaysia Cup title. The Latin Old Man Netto gave us the 2002 & 2003 Divison 1 Title ( now known as Super League) and won back the FA Cup title in 2004 after lapse of 14 years. Compare with the former ESPN pundit achievement? Steve Darby now is the assistant coach helping the former Sunderland manager, Peter Reid who is now the head coach of the Thai National team. In the recent concluded AFF Suzuki Cup 2008, Reid and Darby failed to lift the cup as the Siamese were beaten by the Vietnamese in the final. The Cup-less syndrome suffered by Perak for the past 3 years has now affected the Siamese, as the last time they won the cup was in 2002. A good news for Malaysian national team.

M. Karathu is known for his fast game approach. Who can forget the night we sunk the Red Giants in 1990. We were trailed 0-2 in the first half but suddenly the history was created. We won the first FA Cup that year after defeated Selangor 4-2. Karathu was then the head coach. Never say die attitude and the high fitness level were the key of the Perak 1990 team success.

Basically, M. Karathu prefers to use wingers to create goals. For him, fitness training is a must. Some of the seniors in SMI had gone through training under him when he was the coach for SMI in 1988. And it was a "No Relax" training. Only the best can survive the tough training.

Michaelians are also passionate with the football. Inter classes games were used to be held and playing at the school field. Those who have the skills and won the heart of the coach will be selected to represent the school. And Michaelians are known for their love to the Perak team. When you go to the Stadium Perak to watch a football game, you will meet with other Michaelians, seniors and juniors. Even for those who are not able to come especially the old boys who reside in KL, they will send SMS to other Michaelians to ask about the results update. That is the spirit we need. And may the spirit continues for this coming Malaysian Super League. Come on Michaelians, do as what you usually did. Go to the stadium and support our state heroes.

Support the Malaysian football just like we love the English League football. At least we can see the local football game live from the stadium rather than we just see it on TV for a game thousand of miles from us. Brave with the players. The team that build from the ashes.

KEJOR YOB KEJOR

The Perak team songs ( The rythm similar to When the Saint Goes Marching In...)
This Song usually sing by the fans before the start of the game, when a goal scored and at the end of the game....

Ipoh Mali...Ipoh Mali...Ipoh Mali Talak Sombong
Ipoh Mali...Talak Sombong
Ipoh Mali Talak Sombong....

Happy New Year 2009

Selamat Tahun Baru kepada semua.

May all your dream comes true.....
