Today, while I was cleaning up my drawers, I found my old CFS stuff, i.e, files, notes, exam papers, timetable, slips, guidebook etc. And then all the memories started flooding me.
I remember, it was 18/07/07 when I first stepped in CFS IIUM PJ. AMF was so full of people, and I didnt know anyone. Then I saw Anis, my friend from high school, and it turned out that we were taking the same course. Lega, ada jugak org yg dikenali. I was placed on the 4th floor of ZC. I remember whining everytime I was climbing the stairs each night after taaruf ended.I didn’t bond with my roomates, ’cause I’m a bit reserved I guess. In the room all I like to keep to myself. Until now I don’t like to ‘bond’ with my roomates. To me a room is a place for me to be alone, for some privacy.Malas nak bersembang. I like to be in my own world sometimes.
When class started I knew no one, and every one seemed to know each other. The only person I knew is Anis and Ain. Ain coz she had the exact same schedule as me as we’re the only 2 people exempted from English from BEN 2nd intake. Yeah, I got 2nd intake. At first dpt PASUM, but tak pegi. It turned out English classes started earlier, that’s why they knew each other already. I think that sem’s timetable was the best ever. I had no class at all on Friday, and on Monday my first class starts at 11. So I always come back on Monday mornings and go back on Thursday evening or Friday mornings. hehe.
I was neighbours with a lot of classmates; Sabrina, Hazirah and Muffin. We always wake each other up for 8am classes. hahaha it’s quite amusing. When a class is cancelled, Hazirah would knock on my door and inform me. But later I found it tiring to climb up 4 flights of stairs, so I moved to Anis’ room on level 2 (illegally of course!). It was just above the convenience store, so every now and then I would go down and get myself boxes of Rocky, or some ice cream. Best!
The few people I was close (i.e. having multiplex relationship :p) with were Anis, Mira, Ain, and Muffin. I hung out with Ania and Mira a lot, and Mira was dating Muk, an AED student, so I hung out with some AED students as well. haha. Budak2 BEN diabaikan sementara. I remember one time Ain texted me to come to her room, she was having a “parti biskut“, as she put it. haha! Banyak biskut dia. I always lepak with Muffin on the ZC stairs at night, eating Tiger biscuits with Milo or Nestum. Best gila, angin sejukkk.
All my core courses are with Group 7, the 2nd intakers. :p There were only 2 guys, Iqbaal and Abu. I loveee people from Group 7 !! I liked Mdm Mum’s class best, I never skipped it. Mdm Adibah is cool too, but I got a warning letter from her. haha. Doink. The most hated lecturer is “Makcik CELPAD”. She was a bitch, but she’s okay now. Oral Comm class was the funniest. I also likes Intro to HS class with Mdm Anisah. She was so kind & soft spoken. So sweeet ;)
Malam2, mesti pegi lepak at either Juta or Aroma. Chicken chop & watermelon juice jumbo kat Aroma marvelous gilaaa. Worth every cent. :D Kalau nak rasa mapley indoor, gi Juta. Bila order siap je, nanti ada makcik ni kuar jerit order tu kuat gilaaa, sampai semua org tepuk tangan. hahaha! Farah said one time, she ordered Nasi goreng kampung pedas gila, and the makcik actually called out “nasi goreng kampung pedas gila“. Haha. The best breakfast is at U Cafe. Cafe ZC pun best gak, the lauk for lunch was top notch. It was cheap plak tu.
Of course, I had my share of rule-breakings. 3 times I went out with Anis at night, who brought a car. We were caught only once. Another time we went to The Curve with Anis’ car, wearing jubah and baju kurung. Keluar je gate terus bukak. haha.
Oh yeah, for my 17th birthday, Anis, Mira and Muffin surprised me in the room :D but tak jadi sgt coz the night before we surprised Anis for her birthday. haha. Fasting month was fun. I skipped a lot of classes (especially Arabic), but I’m a smart truant. haha. I would text Ain or Dalila to sign the attendance for me, or tell the ustazah I’m sick. padahal tido dlm bilik. Penat gila. sampai tak puasa pun sahur. org yg puasa tak sahur, yg tak puasa sahur. haha.
Raya was short, since the final exams were on the 4th day of raya kot? I remember, the night before my first paper, something happened and I was devastated. So devastated that I couldn’t concentrate on my exam and cried during it. haha. mesti orang igt paper tu susah. It was Arabic. My result was alright, was 0.03 away from Dean’s List, but I’m still thankful (considering the state I was in during the exams). My result was historic, coz that was the only time I got a C! hahaha bodoh. Drama plak tu. Dang. It scarred my transcript.
I miss PJ. But Nilai was better. Gombak is… okay. Will continue with CFS IIUM Nilai soon ;D
uish panjang gila memori ini!
I think this is for my sis ;p
Mama, in New Zealand, this has already expired.
