Nembiak sekula ku kitai..dini dini pan alai nudukka diri bejaku enggau bup pemantup seranyat penyayat tulang penemu ti tau nyuruh begeliga megai menua pengidup diri empu..semua bakatu. Tanjung Lobang, enda dikelaungka, laban ti nadai nembiak biak agi ari pom empat, nyuruh sekula tu bisi nyelai mimit ari sekula bukai, enda mega ulih nyeliahka diri ari pengawa anak mensia ti dikumbai kitai raup gama bintang muga bujang enggau dara. Jai enggau manah tu nadai dikira laban pengeka, pengisin enggau pengeransing kitai sama sebaka. Nyau jegak gak gak kalat kalat baka ukoi kaka; nyau jegit git git endu dara benung, dara biak, dara bungas bekijap mata. Ti bedau nemu -deka nemu; ti udah nemu nyau balat udu.

Ahh din utai tu belalai..di puchuk tapang nyengkau langit berenyang..dia di emperan ti ngimbai bingkai tasik besai ku urang...ditiki meh labit manyi madu midang; di rembang semerang meh tasik pasang raya begelumbang.

GR, glad you didn't.
Gerubi D,
You are right on one aspect - Favouritism ! Yes somehow it really does seem to exist. Yet I shall not call it a favour towards some, including toward myself, because I was not personally close with The Merciful & nor received any special treatment from Tne Compassionate either. Basically, I was being tolerated per se. Maybe it was the 'Gentleman' side of me that are more obvious to the MC Adi. Maybe I was not 'openly naughty' and not showing any sign of 'defiance' OR just being seen as the 'coolly mischevious' type. I do not really know. I wish I knew though.
Yes, my Scholarship was never taken away nor my status as a Boarder ever in doubt, especially during MC Adi reign. It was during Khatidjah & Ahh, Ahh days.. so I was trying to keep a more low profile existence then. That however does not mean the mischievious side of me was ever restrained one bit. It was just being done at a time or place when it was least expected. Haha !
Well, D we were mischevious till the end. Remember our final Night in Koley, that was 10th Jan 1984 ! WE went out, yea...even the ever so gentleman Nelson was with us that night & we came back dead Drunk. I am amazed now, on how did I manage to drive without ever hitting anyone that night when we went round and round the compound shouting our lung out ! Remember only the Guard at the gate dare to approach us that night, trying to politely restrain us from being too wild !
As to the matter on 'coupling', the most lasting funny incident I can ever remember happened to a couple in 1982 (when we were in L6). In that case the fairer gender just had her Driving Licence and was granted by the parent to use their family car. She however went out right away with her partner right down to the beach during low tide. Maybe too preoccupied they both did not realize the tide came, so the car was stuck almost half-way down the sand ! That ended her the luxury of using their family car to the school, ever ! Remember the story Gerubi D ? But please do not name names, even if they may laugh at it now. By the way I did went out with this particular lady when I passed through Miri in 1986,(with her parent permission - that is true too) as a friend though !
Well, Gerubi D, those are memories to us now...the good & the ugly ! All in one and one in all....
Thats all for now.
Unggal Joe, aduhhh ehhh agi ingat ga kaban neh! Ukai nama kaban, enggai enda nyebut serta nyengkubang favouritism laban bangat kelalu mayuh utai tau nyadi ari favouritism tu..ba sekula enggau ba jalai pengidup besari sari. Enda alah tumbakka serta digalun kitai bakanya aja, enda pia? Some fed off it well while some nyadi victim of favouritism..the humane side of us tetap ngenang maya malikka belakang. Ketuchum aku macha kumin nuan...but aku agi ba 1981 stage tu; bedau ngalih nuju taun ti nangkan eh. Agi ingatka nembiak nama Nubli? Enti tua bakatu can you imagine where we would have been? Jangka aku dianjung urang begulai enggau "that" singer ba Kuching suba? Few others..bala sida Hasbi, Wan Igau, and Stephen Lalo deh? Nadai action taken at all!! Nganti aku nampung pejalai pendiau ti manchal ba renggat ti bukai meh kaban! Enggi aku tak nyau enda ulih nikal ngagai gentleman ehh..nya meh as I have said earlier..udah kamah sekali tusah endar deka muai daki meresi diri..tang mai penyamai maya bisi ampit ngajar enda lama di Kuching ya. Huhh Siti Khatijah..lutor now..grapevine saidlah..di Limbang dinga aku..Bolhan Tahir, EO ba Simanggang..agi dia? I tried to see him personally the last time I visited..after I found out from Basri ba Jabatan Pendaftaran..Guess who else??Judas Lingon was there too!!
Ya sir, I remember..ingat aku sapa urang ti tepuruk ba pasir nya! I was always somewhere lah..Why we had to stay over bisi udah dalam runding for future blog kaban..system in question nya, but as I have said, still too far ari nya aku tu ahh. Ahhh kemaya Tanjung dipenyadika mai nembiak lower level masuk? I bet it changes the whole game!!!! Never had a chance ngabas tembawai lama ehehehe. I must admit, I learned a lot though!
Keep me straight kaban..enti bisi limpang..tikalka baru eh. Soon, bala bukai like Pergis, King, James, etc,...can relate lah. Nguji get in touch with Berinan Mail dulu tu...somewhere ba Australia ku petunggal aku siku.
Nice video GT, brought back alot of schooltime memories! I remember during my younger secondary days when I would find little notes from the "guys" wanting to be "friends" in my desk or in my books or passed on by their younger sis who happened to be in the same class! You know at that age; you're not really into 1 to 1 kind of thing. You'd rather go out in groups? Some of the guys were alright when they receive no response but there was one in particular who took it very personally when I showed no interest. He was a senior, so after he left I received this very nasty letter from him , so angry that I had never responded to his advances! Well, he was a coward-he should have said to my face all those things instead of waiting till he had left the school right? This was one character! Guess what happened to him? Someone in passing was talking about him and said that at one time he used to work in a bank but committed big time CBT and had fled to a country faraway to avoid prosecution. That's what happens to cowards, nothing good in my books.
But of course there are nice memories, many good friends, again no boyfriends for me in school. Nice to hear of the others' escapades on Luak beach,courting couple's losing pieces of clothing etc! Falling off/breaking log branches while trying to make out etc. This one related first hand, so cannot be wrong! I laughed till I cried I tell you, when hearing all these stories again during our reunion, more than 20 years later! These were the good times, some were braver than others. I think it was easier for people like Tony & I to stay good friends till now because we were truly friends at that time. Good reflections by Joe too.I enjoyed reading his comments. Happy reminiscing everyone! Be good & happy for the persons that we are today.....
Podgee maamm..I couldn't help it..I just couldn't help it but grinned when I first encountered the video..long time ago that was. But ya, I like old George Strait. Can I name those you mentioned?? I bet I can put two and two together hehehehe. I didn't have the luxury to get acquainted but with a few lah..like I have said..I was probably too darn third world ugly or probably just simply an unfreakingwanted species..hahaha. Coupling wasn't something we folks could ran away from lah..specially at those ages..College back then was perfect environment!!!Just couldn't control that raging hormones ya. It's really funny now..I just wonder if any of those couples became husbands and wives later in life! Hahhaha Podgee maam..I was brave but I didn't get anything out of it hehehhehe..no just kidding lah. Curiosity kills a cat right?!!! Haiyaaa yaya yaya..those wild bunches.
