Besari sari bemalam malam ngenang lalu nanya dalam ati kebuah diri bangat kelalu menyati diri muai jam masau seput pagila lusa tau ngujungka pendiau melechut melusut melunggang tunsang.

Engka bakatu meh bala sekeda kitai mensia tak nemu ngakun jampat sebun sebun madahka diri ' I give up'. Naka penyamai meh kitai mensia tak ngetu nyeru madahka diri badu aku.

Anang tak meda utai nyamai ulih lalu japai," ku pesan indai yak aku kelia laban ti nemu agi bekalihka jaku enggau nyeruri nyadi sabar lalau ransi.

Penatai Tuansipol ti Baru.....

Penatai tuansipol baru di ambat kayu ru ti berintai tisi jalai rumbau enggai bebungai ti jurus bebungkung nadai lalu ngelambai pemulai Tok Janggut nuju menua tampak rita, Kuching kedua bali nama indu menua bahagian pertama. Andal gaga tuchum lelekik ketawa; sinu nyabak kekisi muai ai mata sayau rua sigi enda laban udah nemu, udah chukup umur bebejur mansang tuai nemu kuing kait sungkit peruk pelekuk tiap tiap iku kitai mensia ngiga palan alai nyangkaika pengidup diri ba dunya tu. We were prepared so much so understood when opportunities knocked that the demise of one was the rebirth of another! Aieeee macam itu kah dunia kita sekarang Pak Cik Jet? Nyadi kami ti udah mawa tu suba endang mengkang nyandang semengat enggau pengarap ngajihka diri ulih mulaika diri masuk buding baru. Ahhh bedau lekat pengangat berasai penat tudah burit tuansipol baru Cikgu Borhan Tahir duduk ngujika bangku kerusi ti nemu bepusin bepeling ngeliling nya alai bala anak mensia bepinta ngapil. I was the last one ngapil of course but to no avail..so I said the hell with it. I finally made up my mind, that in the next few remaining chapters I was determined to carve my name on the unforgetable chart baka Tum Jun ngupi lagu Pering Sinatera ' I did it my way' hahaha..haiaya sideway pun also can lah. Why not cannot cannot ku bala keda meh.

Tuansipol ti baru tu enda baka tuansipol ti udah. Tak nadai jaku meh bala bakani deka ngelala tudah siku ti baru tu..tak runggu gaya baka ensing di ujung rangkang; tak lu lu liu lubuk langkang. Hmmmm wonder what he had in mind??? Engka sigi baka well-read wise man managing by walking around kini. Bakatu meh saut iya nyaut tanya pinta bala kami anak malang keluar kandang suba. Sigi enda ulih meh iya ngemasukka bala kami tiga namely Mat Bond, Mat Sentul, enggau Mat Tiga Suku! Laban just laban ku iya rekumin pengajar bukai enda tentu manah didinga bacha iya tajapan kami baru betabi basa bekelala. Ya ya we knew from some few cikgi cikgu ti bisi madah nelai belalai enggai berupai ditemu sida bukai. Nuju those few..the only thing aku on behalf of those few can say now is terima kasih thank you, and I will carry the deed deedoo dalam memory kerubung untak aki gerubi. Tu meh nyuruh kami ngelala nemu who was wearing the pants in the house deh cikgu. The very unconfirmed thought was lingering in our crooked minds for quite sometime now..bammmm enda mukai mukai it came out unintentionally?!? Coincidence? HELL NO! Endang disangka meh tudah sapit tuansipol ti benama Siti Khatijah tu bisi ngamahka jari beresi iya dalam mangkuk bubur kachang. As far as I knew, we were just school kids tried-to-be-school-kids ti ngembuan pemanchal suah ari ti enda jai dipeda mata laban ti bemulut benyawa naka pemesai meletup baka rendai guring sida endu dara lawa; laban ti ngembuan ulah baka ti tampak rita nyelaik enda tentu baka enda pulai ari padang sekula. Back when I was a school boy, bemain tu ENDA MANAH laban dipeda ngachau pelajar. Enti enggai diambi ngarika sekula jai ga kumin sida iya ba saptiket keluar pemadu sekula ila, so they said! Tangkap dua puluh dua tu...enda salah salah ditelan mati indai; di lua mati apai! And what is the verdict now? 'Majulah Sukan untuk Negara' didn't mean jack shit to these people but yet each time nembiak bulih lumur ba lompat pagar, lompat kijang, lompat tinggi, lompat katak, lompat engkeruak, lompat sungai, lompat kepala, lompat jalai, lompat kera..hmmm these were the folks who so lightning quick to claim the moment and this, that and the other! "Ohhh student kamek iya..good ahhh so fast lah, boleh tahan ya," ku sekeda. TAI PAU punya mensai. With that dalam untak Cikgi, in Kuching we will meet again ya. Dulu kelia, menua Kuching tu meh penyinggah penyangkai bala mensia enti deka enggau betikika tangga dalam pendiau enggau pengidup. The retiring and grooming ground to the next level. Bula? One can hate me for that but true true lah me and we shall see! Baka ke diatu suba, Saptiket Tinggi Pelajar Menua(STPM) was my numero uno priority.

Purty much encouraged and determined by the minute aki gerubi. Engka tu meh ngajar aku tu to forget I won't and to forgive hmm langkah dulu bangkai aku..Tajapan bakanya, jaku mesan pemacha ti benung duduk di bangku sekula..anang mayuh leman anang ngelaban laban pulaika pemedis kita empu aki gerubi and some few udah ngasai dulu kelia deh wai bala anak rebak baru. An experience is ineffable and truly personal, and Aki Gerubi can only share and describe. Maya kitai ngemansangka diri dalam pengidup, baka tua ngumpul ngembuah buah ti udah mansau labuh ke tanah deh peneleba dalam pengingat bakatu lalu endur alai tua betunjik bepanggai ngeringka pendiau. As we travel through life, we garner few peak experiences that stay with us and continue to enrich our very existence.

Ngerichau Munyi Semalau Pagi...

Sekumbang pendiau ti udah mawa baka semawa rindang petang; terua rua anak ampang, naka meh pemayuh akal masuk kerubung pala ti di kumbai mensia anak urang alai nanam buk panjai bejagang tuchang.

Nadai ngawa laban utai udah..Nya lapa deh! Tajapan bakanya asai enda nyamai, kami anak sekula maya tu kelia udah nemu tuju juluk ati laban ti udah bebulu memagang enti ditela dipeda geganjang!

Amai mayuh penumbuh sida ti megai pengawa dia; mayuh penemu nembiak di perinsa betukar bela.

Nyau betuntung nesau begusung sida begau madahka bisi sabjek baru tu tadi ti benama Sastera!

Joke aside folks, this new thingy wasn't something we prepared for since our inception, since our sixth form initiation! New field, new ball, new game and of course new name in STPM! Bahlah..terima kasih was all that could be said laban mayuh, naka pemayuh bala kami ti agi beterangap thus pengerabang ngeli jarang enda meh ulih pelalaika. Ku bala sekeda meh tu meh Sijil Tinggi Pendiau Malaysia lalu sekeda bala tu suba ngumbai tu Sijil Telu Penyu Malaysia; however, we at Tanjung Lobang bisi mega jaku siti ti naka dikena bala..ku kami tu meh Sijil Tai Pau Malaysia since 'tai pau' was second to our mother tongue ba Tanjung Lobang...widely spoken! Then there was this cikgu ti ngumbai STPM tu Sijil Tidak Pandai Malaysia mega. Whatever it was, it is, and it will be..kami ti bebitau bekedayau mawa pendiau tu unfazed deh laban nemu penentu iya endang either or. Pas enggau pil enda meh dikira laban we were guineapigs ready to be sacrificed and prepared to be slaughtered! Aki gerubi enggau kaban iya dua iku ti udah di buai tu enda ngira utai bukai deh, ngatika diri laban tu meh peluang, siti peluang sekali diberi alai mutar nikalka pendiau diri ti dikumbai jai enda anchi anchi.

We all thought so lah! Amai meh tuansipol Adi Badiozaman Tuah tu betukar menua tempat kerja ehhh.

I didn't do it; neither did he although we had the artistic ability to forge it! Ulih nuan nanya Cikgu Naimuddin our batik teacher yang disayangi ..tried tried we with wax on kain belachu putih berseri besinar tengahari under that little pondok semak coconut tree!Yea yea yea I know who did it and what else didn't this big mouth, a social pest, a menace to society, a harmony-hazard little lachau rock lizard know!!!!

Ya ya take that crown ari Putit nya; however, no clown clown around just because the two of you were acquaintances?!? Your time to step up to the plate ya.
