I went to my alma mater, during my friday lunch break at work,
to invite my beloved teachers to my wedding end of the year.
Was supposed to be joined by Jelot, Fatty, Apoo and last minute, Inarah and Nerk! But being doctors they are, had to cancel last minute due to time constraint and Fatty had last minute meeting.
So it was just me and my sister, and later, Nerk, the most mischievous kid in the batch joined us! The funniest thing that the teachers said was, actually every school need a girl like Nerk to spice things up in school life :) totally agreed.
I really had fun meeting the teachers...catching up stories and all. As HKL is quite nearby to the school, they were thrilled to know that me and Jelot are currently working there. ( no more long que for check ups and meds! they said. ) They were really surprised to see Nerk and they insisted us to go and say hi to our beloved warden, Ustazah Einee who is now a headmistress in another school.
And yes, they still couldnt believe that me and my sister are SISTERS! yes, she's the tall and slim one ;) She was in Saphire house/dorm , I was in Ruby.. She was a basketballer, i was a netballer. .The only time that most of the teachers that we are sisters, was when my dad, the same dad went up to the stage for our PMR and SPM result ;)
back to story of my school.
Though there were only 8 teachers that i know of, still in that school, but all of them had become principal, vice principal, head of departments and senior teachers. Moreover, the name of the school is different, (well MY school, Sekolah Seri Puteri, KL has been moved to Cyberjaya,and now its Sek. Men Sains Seri Puteri in KL.) though i dont see the point of moving the school and replace it with another new school with name skolah yg lebih kurang same?! what were they thinking?!.
i still strongly feel that 5 years in that small piece of land with small number of girls are better than 2 years of school with big number of girls in a small land, or 5 years of school with big number of girls in a big LAND!
I never went to Cyberjaya, but my sister did during her final year of school. but both of us ( and the teachers!) agreed that we prefer the old surrounding with the old tradition and the old place..
i still feel that the kolam ayer place is my place. The place that i grew up for 5 years with my friends, and taught me to be what i want to be. The place that i spent most of teenagers time day and night! The place that i truly miss and have shaped me to be what i am now.
thank you Allah.If i had a daughter, i wish i could send her to SSPKL.. from form 1 to form 5. .
experience the same experience that i had.
but i know that fact that..
there is no more 5 years of SSP KL!! sadly.
