back in school....
met noorliza at the bus stop at abt 1030am. straight went to the school compound. got to go thru the arrogant security guard. went to the school general office and was glad that the school clerks are still working there - kak arfah and kak zaiton. kak zaiton somehow recognised me and started to reminise the times we went to trengganu trip in 93. hehehe.. and what a mischief i was. saw mrs haridass in the office and managed to chat up with her. she was my form teacher when i was in sec 5. and gosh... she still look the same. not a year older too from the last time i saw her way back in 1996 when i took my O levels results.
unfortunately, cikgu zaiton and cikgu hamzah were still in class and cldnt come down to the office. they will only be free at abt 3pm.
so, both of us went to tanah merah as i need to make the payment for the chalet at safra resort. it was a long journey. why i actually agreed to take up that place?? tempat jin bertendang seh. the place is nice tho. quite serene, i'd say. after making the payment, we went back to toa payoh hoping to meet the cikgus.
reached back there at abt 2pm. made a call first to ensure the cikgus are free. well, cikgu hamzah was, but cikgu zaiton went off already. managed to chat up with cikgu hamzah for a while. he actually asked me to come back to school and give a motivational talk especially to the normal academic and technical classes.... oh gosh... crazy man... hahahhaa... how can i even motivate ppl??
well... the trip was worth making tho. am still glad to be a part of the school - non vi sed arte - not with force but with skill - that's the school motto.
and here's the school song.....
faithful and strong here together we stand
building our future with youth from our land
serving our school with hearts pure and true
sing we our motto that echoes anew
non vi sed arte not with force but with skill
all to the task we our duty fulfill
helping each other where'er there is need
forward to glory our school we shall lead.

wow, i actually was singing to the tune of the song. didnt expect to remember it tho. hahahhaa
anyways, i'm still a part of beatty secondary school. that's the place where i went in as a small kid who didnt know anything and left the school as a mature teenager who knows a lot of things.
