And Another Batch Leaves MCKK

Today should be the final day for Class of 2010, the last SPM paper was yesterday (if I am not mistaken).

They will walk (or had walked) the gates for the last time, looked back and cried (well, some of them. Most of us did cry like hell when it was our turn almost 16 years ago). I didn't know why we cried so badly the last time.

Perhaps the realisation that we would not meet each other for a very long time (that was proven wrong. We see each other all the time, except one or two who had gone into M-I-A status. But our lives revolve around our batch - something of a bliss and nightmare to the wives. Bliss because at least they know the company the husbands are with. Nightmare because these damn husbands just refuse to grow up, ha ha).

Perhaps because we were very sad to leave the school (ha ha I think even this one was proven wrong. It wouldn't be long before each batch that leaves the school forgets the promises they made about going back and making the school proud. We all get sucked up into the rat race).

Perhaps because we had to say good-bye to the special someone (yeah, but you did this way much earlier before SPM started and the juniors left. And the concept of "betik" was too clandestine and considered an aberration back then to have manifested itself so publicly on the last day we left the school).

So why did we cry?

I don't know, I guess we were just boys.

I truly missed MCKK and the batchmates in the first year I left, although the missing part was ameliorated by a bunch of batchmates who went to the same school/UK with me for A-Levels. But it did take a while before I could get my focus on something else. Of course, once you get your eyes on something else, you never looked back.

I see the same thing with each batch that leaves MCKK in the last few years.

In the first few months, they cannot detach from MCKK. They'll find every excuse to be back. They'll commit to anything, even sleeping in surau just to be a part of an MCKK team (he he).

Then, they'll get on with their scholarship/college application and all will apparate (to use HP's lingo) in a second. They get sucked into the new thing so quickly and they will move on very quickly too.

Such is the inert nature of human beings. We resist change. Change will come at a heavy price and it will be resisted at all cost initially, because we fear the unknowns. We prefer the milieu we are familiar with.

But change will come nevertheless, it's a journey upon which this Earth has been ordained.

Observing a bunch of MCKK boys leaving the school year in and year out, I am convinced that even the boys in a remote school in Kuala Kangsar observes this rule.

To the boys of Class of 2010, just as I wished every batch before you - may you do justice to the heritage you carry. You owe it to the heritage to build upon it and bring new heights to everything we have stood for. Be the change you want the others to be, lest we forget what a folly it was to sing it from out heart each Monday morning! Good luck.

Selamat Kembali Hj Botchap, AJK Keselamatan Internet

Selepas berbulan2 kami merindui jari-jari chubbynya menekan (ke memetik?) papan kunci komputer, akhirnya minggu ini Hj Botchap telah kembali berkhidmat dan menceriakan kembali Male-ing List.

Sebenarnya Haji Botchap tarik diri sebentar sebab nak bertapa selepas perang saudara dengan seorang lagi AJK Keselamatan Mailing List yang juga kaki pukul Mentula Ingens di sesawang, iaitu Abu Usama. Dua-dua budak Md Shah, dua-dua kaki batak karipap, dua-dua memang kaki pukul ha2.

Kehilangan Haji Botchap bertapa meresahkan ramai orang, sehingga ada beberapa perbincangan serius mahu pergi mengadap Haji Botchap di tempat pertapaannya dan kembali melindungi batch dari anasir Internet (yaaah! Kami semua setuju dengan Shahidan Kassim dan Samy Vellu bahawa Facebook & Twitter mengancam keselematan negara, jadi perlu ditutup dan siapa yang menyalahgunakannya perlu dihumban ke ISA - sila lihat Nota 1). Alhamdulillah, Haji Botchap punya kesedaran yang tinggi jadi tak payahlah dia dipinang (ha2 nanti dia datang bawak mee jawa pakai samping labuh, naya kita), kembali secara sukarela ke Male-ing List, iaitu tempat maki hamun Mentula Ingens.

Kepada Haji Botchap, ada serangkap pantun:

Sini karipap sana karipap

Mana nak sama karipap dalam poket

Sini bulat sana pun .... (ha ha satu2nya perkataan dalam kepala aku yang boleh ritma tak boleh letak sebab terlalu lucah ha2)

Mana nak sama Haji Botchap yang sembunyi karipap dalam poket!

Selamat Kembali Bertugas Hj Botchap, moga cepat jadi Pengarah besar2 supaya tak de orang Johor boleh datang ugut di kaunter nak komplen dekat Tuan Pengarah sebab Hj Botchap selalu mengular (kah2).

Anak2 Itik di Pesta Hoki USM

1) Kalau KNO ada ni, KNO mesti sedih tp KNO sibuk dngn nehi zendagi di Pakistan, jadi tak dapat menghayati kisah ni.

2) Masa kitorang mula2 buat Mighty Ducks Project dulu2 (ha ha), salah satu objektif kita nak bagi budak2 ni games exposure. Jadi tahun pertama tu, kitorang bawak budak2 ni pergi USM Open. Ha2 giler mahal and budak2 ni sayur, tapi apa nak buat kena lah berkorban (kononnya masa tu).

3) Lepas tu tak pernah bawak budak2 ni pergi USM Open, sebab kitorang rasa banyak lagi yg budak2 ni kena belajar as a team. Tapi sebenarnya, tujuan bawak pergi ke USM Open semua tu bukan nak suruh menang sangat, tapi sebab nak bagi diorang rapat as satu team, barulah nanti bila dah keluar koleq banyak cerita yang boleh dikongsi, banyak adventure. Macam tu baru yengko & baru speret koleq (he2).

4) Lepas tu boleh buat Blog Citer Bell sebab banyak sangat citer lama2 yg boleh dikongsi (bukn je ngn kitorunk, tp dgn semua orunk).

5) Nak dipendekkan citer, budak2 yang ada (Class of 0711) telah mengusahakan sendiri untuk pergi ke USM. Koleq bagi kebenaran untuk diorng pakai nama koleq & balik practice masa cuti, tapi yang lain diorang kena settle dan pandai2 sendiri.

6) Jadi 8 orang first team (kecuali Haziq & Mirza) ni pandai2 lah sampai sendiri ke USM - cuma sampai2 di sana, ha2 tak de tempat nak menginap. Asrama KBS yang kitorunk book online dah penuh, jadi tak leh duduk kat situ.

7) Akhirnya budak2 ni duduk apartment kat Vistana (ha2 gler class pi main Pesta Hoki USM duduk Vistana, orang lain duduk kat masjid je ha2). Diorunk kumpul RM100 setiap sorunk utk bayar semua, so kira OK lah biar diorunk rasa penat lelah as a team, pakai duit sendiri untuk main hoki & tak de org dewasa yg nak supervise diorunk. Kitorunk boleh hulur sikit2 je lah nak tampung duit belanja mana yg patut.

8) 17 sampai 19 Disember ni (minggu depan), budak2 ni datang join tournament Uniten lak. Ha2 bersedialah korunk nak bagi diorunk jadi homeless kat rumah korunk.

9) Menang kalah belakang kira, yang penting budak2 ni dah pandai berdikari, ada usaha sendiri nak balik training (dulu kitorunk buat training masa cuti sorunk pun tak datang, sekarang dah balik sendiri sukarela). Ni yang kita panggul Yengko and UniteFect!

10) Budak2 ni lah jadi harapan kita supaya diorunk perturunkan speret koleq yang tak berbelah bagi ni kepada juniors dan Insya Allah dalam setahun dua lagi, bila dah jadi old boys, bolehlah sambungkan balik koleq coach budak2 hoki. Tak mahu dah game hockey sayur and luput sampai nak pupus sebab terbengkalai.

11) Kudos kepada Bapak2 Itik, walaupun kita dah tak de nak tengok budak2 ni jadi dewasa, tp mungkin sebab kita dah tarik diri lah diorunk dah belajar jadi dewasa :-)

Politik Dalam Mentulas

Brace yourself for this - I am not sure whether it's a sign of mid-life crisis and we are just too bored and too lazy to do anything more useful; or we have the penchant for turning anything serious to comical.

Mulanya begini:

Epit:


Tuan Prez, Kepala Budak & Fellow MI,

Adalah saya dengan ini memaklumkan saya dan Mpro akan menghadiri Majlis MCOBA Annual Dinner 2010 yang berlangsung di Istana Hotel pada 12 Disember 2010 akan datang. Kami telah mendapat dua tempat percuma, ditawarkan oleh seorang MCOB yang minta namanya dirahsiakan.

Semoga pemergian kami direstui!!!

Terima kasih.

(Nota: batch ni memang tersangat jarang pergi MCOBA Dinner ha2. Sapa-sapa yang pergi selalunya kena berhempas pulas justify yang dia tak mengkhianati semangat UniteFect!)

Chibiok:

semoga anda mendapat keberkatan dlm majlis tersebut

Ein:

adakah di s sponsor oleh XXX?

Epit:

Tidakkk!!!!!

Chibiok:

adakah budak2 batch XXX yg sponsor??

Epit:

apa ni Kepala Budak? tadi doakan keberkatan, sekarang dah question sapa sponsor. tak baik la cam ni.

(Epit dah panic. Saat ini jelas Epit cuba menyembunyikan sesuatu. The dagger is out ha ha)

Ezam:

Beliau cuma mewakili bapak2 budak yg lain bertanya. Tak salahkan?

Abu Usama:

Kepala budak tak mahu ada unsur2 rasuah, sbb tu dia tanya.

Epit:

Tapi bukan XXX atau sesiapa yang berkaitan dengan XXX.

Bukan sponsor yang jadi isu di sini. Aku hanya nak maklumkan kami akan meneyrtai program itu. Tak mahu nanti dikatakan beralih arah kepada YYYYY.

Rough:

errr kita kena tahu sponsor sapa.

sbb kalau yg sponsornya XYXY, maksudnya epit & mpro telah menjadi trojan horse dlm MI.

ini cobaan memecahkan MI.

Abu Usama:

Konek depa berdua perlu di kasi!

Epit:

saya akan dedahkan pada masa dan ketika yang sesuai.

Rough:

sah2 trojan horse.

lepas ni dia akan buat komen persoalkan ketokohan Pres kita. Lepas tu dia persoalkan nama Mentula sbg lucah.

ini perancangan besar YYYYY nk pecah belahkan kita.

epit kata nak dedahkan pada masa yg sesuai, sama mcm zaid kata nak resign tp effective di masa depan.

corak trojan horse.

kah3.

ckp je la epit.

Ezam:

Kenapa menghukum.

Ada bukti ke Gadap?

Mana? Mana? Haha

Rough:

bab2 pegang & tekan konek, gadap x perlukan bukti. ada peluang, tangkap & ramas je ha3

Mattop:

abis epit kena pressure...

Epit:

aku ada masalah la pulak ni.

dinner tu sabtu ni, aku kat Sg Petani. aisehhhh...tapi sponsor kata hari Ahad 12/12...

Kak Ramlah:

Hmm... Tetiba kan, Pit. :-D.

(Eyh, I pun boleh buat cameo jugak tau..... )

Rough:

ha3 ada kah ini cara epit utk menyelamatkan diri dr mendedahkn sapa taiko di blkg trojan horse?

epit decide mengundur diri sbb x berani, tp dari ckp tak pergi, dia kata dia confuse date. kah3.

Auzir:

adakah kau rasa epit akan keluar batch dan buat batch baru Raf?

Ada sambutan tak?

Chibix:

Epit tgh karangkan pengakuan bersumpah dan mencari rumah selamat di London. Berita terbaru diterima. Adakah ini benar epit?

Ein:

ahahaha... epit sudah tertekan!!!! ... err, gadap, cuba ramas telur dan konek anda sendiri. telur dan konek org lain jugak ko nak ramas. hahahah!

Rough:

aku rasa sah epit akan keluar batch. dia tngh call semua kawan2 baik dia untuk keluar batch, buat batch baru.

budak2 utagha, korang kena ingat epit telah abandon korang. so jgn cuba2 nak join batch baru epit.

yg kelakarnya, mpro yang sblum ni nak bersama2 epit, skrng dah diam. aku rasa dia akn pledge support kepada Mentula & Tuan Prez, maka keseorangan lah epit.

ha ha sapa sponsornya epit?

Auzir:

aku rasa epit patut meletak jawatan... ini untuk megelakkan batch kita dari perpecahan....

aku akan hanya taat setia kepada tuan prez saja..hehehe

Ezam:

Epit ajak NS chapter sekali.

Aku akan tg pandangan akar umbi.

Auzir:

kalau epit betul2 setia sama batch..aku cadangkan dia buat open table nasi arab kat jalan ampang..

ada beranik?

Hucs Je:

aku nak join batch epit...nanti bila aku masuk utk timbalan pres, tak menang, aku akan suggest epit tinggalkan batch baru dia , bagi org lain memimpin....contohnya aku..

mcm pernah ku dgr konsep kurang ajar begini

Hucs Je:

cakap pasal nasi arab, baru2 ni epit suruh aku belanja nasi arab sbb mintak no tepon DR Khairel Rafezi.....adakah ini style batch 94 (baru) ? komisen tak setimpal dgn effort?

yeah..mari pressure epit!

Chibix:

Itu adalah petanda2 awal pemerintahan batch baru. Komisen adalah budaya tolong-menolong.

Auzir:

pyan..aku tela mengisytiharkan sokongan pada tuan prez kiter...style ini sudah lama diguna pakai oleh ahli batch..epit antara orang yang selalu kena belanja...

tapi pepehal..kita masih belum dengar epit menidakkan berita2 hangat yang dikeluarkan kebelakangan ini..

Chibix:

Kita tunggu PC dari epit tak lama lagi. Tuan Prez juga menyepi. Kenapa? Adakah ini budaya politik baru MI.

Abu Usama:

Terkini: epit sedang buat PC di Restoren Perantau Putrajaya sekarang. Lihat gambar ni!

Mattop:

muka tengah pressure ke tu?...

Syed Khalid aka Tuan Prez:

Hubungan antara saya dengan Head Boy dan Timbalan Head Boy adalah baik dan mereka juga telah menyatakan sokongan sepenuhnya kepada saya.

Namun, faktor kepimpinan adalah hanya cara untuk merelaisasikan matlamat, bukannya objektif utama.

Tiada soal siapa yg pres, siapa yg timbalan head boy. Kita sepakat. Membawa berkat.

Chibiok:

Ni mcm pernah dgr je. Tup2 lepas tu tangkap pakai UTK dtg rumah. Then buat tuduhan. Hermmm. Jgn ada kes liwat sudahla.

apa kata tuan prez dgn situasi kini ... adakah ini disebabkan campurtangan oleh pihak pembangkang aka anasir luar, atau budak2 batch XXX..??? Saya disini dgn ikhlas menyatakan sokongan saya kepada pucuk
pimpinan tuan prez selagi tiada kemungkaran berlaku di atas kerelaan tuan prez

Auzir:

keadaan semakin meruncing nampaknya..adakah akan kedengaran suara2 yang menggesa batch kita dibubarkan? Adakah kita akan dipaksa join batch baru Epit atau batch XXX suatu hari nanti?

Pandangan tuan prez amatlah dihargai. Kami yang ikhlas hanya menurut perintah tuan prez.

Chibiok:

keadaan semakin meruncing diluar sana ... contoh terbaru Jita ... beliau terpaksa meninggalkan tanahair dan MI2 semua ... adakah ini berlaku kerana ada unsur2 ugutan atau paksaan ...??? dan desas-desus
terbaru ... Abu Usama akan bersekongkol dgn YB Epit ...

kita perlukan isu yg baru utk mengalihkan perhatian2 pihak luar dan media dlm hal ni ... mana gambar2 amoi2 simpanan tuan IR kita ..

Ein:

hmm.. epit takde hal. dia ada contact kat apco bole spin baekkkk punya. hahaha!

AKHIRNYA EPIT TAK TAHAN KENA PRESSURE DAN TUNDUK JUGA....

Epit:

Tuan-tuan,

Sudah2 lah memberi tekanan kepada Tuan Prez untuk mendapatkan sepenuh penjelasan menegnai perkara ini.

Sejujurnya, yang menaja saya dan Mpro adalah Sdr Afza, bukan YYYYY, jauh sekali XXX!!!

Tapi keadaan terlalu menegang ketika ini. Mungkin saya perlukan Boboe untuk mengendurkan ketegangan.

Harap keadaan kembali pulih seperti biasa. Kesetiaan saya tetap kepada Tuan Prez dan kudrat saya tetap untuk kelangsungan Didee sbg Kepala Budak.

Sekian, terima kasih.

Ein:

epit terlalu tegang... boboe juga di carinya. adakah gadap tak layak utk mengendurkan ketegangan?...

Chibix:

terima kasih dgn penjelasan deputy kepala budak. tapi kenapa Afza pilih Nadzrie?????? sesungguhnya kita perlu mangambil iktibar dalam perkara2 begini ...

Abu Usama:

Aku sanggup jadi macam saifool! Liwatlah saya, nanti saya tak basuh xxxxx 2 hari dan dahi kasi lebam sikit supaya nampak lebai.

Chibix:

Afza, Nadzrie, Boboe dan Epit .... apakah ini?

Auzir:

Saya mewakili MIs yang confused, mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kpd saudara epit kerana telah cuba memberikan penjelasan atas perkara yang serius ini.

Tetapi alangkah lebih baik kiranya penjelasan di buat secara sua muka. Saya cadangkan saudara epit buat open table nasi arab di jalan ampang untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini once and for all.

Boboe:

kalau epit boleh convincekan rozita che wan jadi ketua Wanita batch baru nie, dgn segera aku akan join.

(selepas itu, discussion menjadi terlalu explicit, private dan lucah untuk disiarkan di sini ha ha).

Makanya, lessons dalam politik berdasarkan gelagat Mentulas, dalam setiap kumpulan/parti itu mesti ada:

1) Yang tak berapa jujur dan ada sesuatu yang disembunyikan - Epit

2) Yang senyap2 akan lari when the goings get tough - Mpro

3) Kaki pukul dan kaki pressure - Chibix

4) Kaki pow cari peluang nak buat komisyen - Auzir

5) Supreme leader yang nampak cool tp belakang2 hantar kaki pukul - Syed Khalid

6) Kaki lucah yang boleh manufacture macam2 cerita lucah - Abu Usama

7) Pelakon lucah yang boleh menggadaikan apa2 asalkan harganya tepat - Bobo

8) Tukang sorak & tukang api - yang lain2 ha ha

Musim Betik

Morrison's Academy: after breakfast on Sunday, the Brits went to church and we continued playing cards

On the way to London from Scotland: one of the Easter breaks (looking at the weather ha2). Please don't mind Fadli, he had just discovered Churchill's V-sign

Favourite past time during breaks: congregating at Jita's place at Earl's Court and cook. Cook and eat and sleep (I think we were doing kuih ketayap this time, Chamat mengidam)

The disastrous picnic at Ulu Kenas a week before SPM. Disastrous because while other candidates in other schools were panicking for SPM, we went for a picnic oblivious of the gravity of it. Unsurprisingly, we crashed baik punya in SPM ha2!

This is a season for betik.

At any particular time of our life, there would have been some people whom we are very close to. In MCKK, you tend to be close to different people (or groups) as you grow up. For example, I was close to Radin when we were in Form 2 because we hardly missed going to town together. It took us more than a decade to be close again, though by any standard (current MCKK standard) I can declare Radin as my betik with head high (ha ha).

But there are also people who are a constant in our life. They were there from the very beginning and somehow our path keep crossing. As you are tested in life, they were there all the time, unwavering in support and sympathy. 

I am lucky because I picked up many of these people in my life since the first month I was in MCKK. There are those who had been close to me ever since that first few months and we had known each other so much that it only requires a flicker of glance to guess what annoys us; or what pleases us. These people know they are and I don't have claim them betiks too (ha2, that's blasphemous to the very concept of betik).

Surprisingly, I was never close to Jita in my five years in MCKK. Yes, we were in the same class in our final year. Yes, we were in the same English set since we were in Form 2. But we were never close and the only part that distinctively stands out is his buying the whole 5 Sc 1 Big Mac meals closer to SPM (ha ha).

But we ended in the same school for A-Levels, in one of the remotest places in Scotland. There was no train or bus stations, only bus stops to take you to the nearest train/bus stations. It's the equivalent of Karai, a small clusters of housing for pensioners (and a boarding school in the middle of it ha ha).

Getting stuck there was an impetus to look for something else to occupy ourselves, otherwise we would be dead. Jita found it in a girl friend. I found it in writing, so we continued the publication of Mindweb, a bulletin for Malaysian pre-university students destined for UK universities. Mindweb was started by Azraai Bahari Nasruddin, Scholar of the Year 1992. It was a way for us to keep connected and we distributed the bulletin to Malaysian A-Level colleges as well.

I have the habit of saying yes first, then figuring out the how later. There was one great obstacle in managing a publication when you get stuck in a place like Crieff, because none of us has a PC/laptop or printer. The school facilities were outdated (this was before the internet/PC age). A cikai PC used to cost about GBP1,500 if I am not mistaken; that's about RM9,000 by conversion.

Luckily Jita came to the rescue because he just had a laptop, as a birthday gift from his dad. It was a very thick and heavy Olivetti laptop (ha ha who would have bought an Olivetti laptop nowadays), but it was a state-of-the-art those days. I was ever grateful that he allowed me to use his expensive laptop almost 24/7 to produce a bulletin which he initially didn't have any interest in (ye la, dia dok pakai laptop mahal main Sollitaire!). He was also kind enough to buy a printer, so that I could print ha ha (what's the point of finishing everything when you cannot print!). Many times he would help me dealt with the local photocopy shops to get things printed (that was among my first lessons in economics ha ha, using the service of a small business without an economies of scale was stupid, it was twice more expensive to produce Mindweb in a little Scottish town than what Azraai had done, closer to London).

That was the start of a very long and fruitful friendship, centred on trust and loyalty. He played along when I dragged him into UKEC, taking the most sensitive post of Finance (because he could always top up if anything happens, kah3). His family apartment in Earl's Court became our official bed and breakfast, there were times some of us would bunk there for weeks (Chamat that is, my stay was always shorter he he).

In my darkest hours in the UK, I would run to him for distraction. We do not like to speak too much of what was personal to us, being boys means you would just want the company (and the free bed and breakfast ha ha) and skirt the obvious issues altogether.

During our time in PETRONAS, somehow our paths kept crossing as I dragged him from his comfortable life in Kerteh to the corporate centre. As I left PETRONAS and had to clear all of my life savings to pay back, he came to the rescue while waiting for me to make a new financial arrangements.

It has come one full circle and we came to a junction when we have to pursue the next phase of our life. I chose the unpredictable, the road less traveled as it is a calling.

Jita is leaving for a posting in Australia today, he's bringing his whole young family with him. A PETRONAS posting is usually 3-4 years long, but I do not discount that hearts may change and new doors may open, so it remains to be seen whether he will in fact come back after his posting.

I had wanted to organise a farewell dinner for him but had been busy, in the end due to miscommunication only Mattop who turned up for the cancelled dinner (ha2 reputasi yukengkaungongme aku lives on! Raja kincing). Well, Jita will be back soon, so will organise a proper one.

Over the last 5 years, all of my closest friends from the original UK clique had left the country. Fadli is never back in the country, the closest is Singapore. Chamat has been stationed in Beijing for quite a while. Fazurin had left for US since 2006 and is based there ever since. Madad never came back and I doubt that he will, now in Geneva. 

And now Jita leaves the country too. 

It's a sign of change. My heart feels heavy and I don't look forward to it, but we all have to move on in different directions in life.

May the bond that had held us all these last 2 decades will be there, so that when we meet next (or when we are in need of that honest companionship), it is not difficult to re-ignite.

Bon voyage Jita and good luck. You will make a great father and husband.

PS:

I guess I would have missed his flight. He sent a short SMS last night telling me that he banked in his zakat for me to pay in Terengganu. Also a zakat portion to go to MCKK. Very kind indeed.

MI di CICM Responsibility Run 2010, Bukit Jalil

Kegilaan terbaru MI terhadap acara larian masih berterusan dan tidak menampakkan sebarang tanda-tanda menyurut. Berikut laporan Deputy Prez KPTC untuk satu acara larian hujung minggu lepas.

Salam.

Ni report larian CICM Responsibility Run Bukit Jalil 2010 10KM.

Kehadiran KPTC kurang memberangsangkan. Yang ada cuma aku, Syam 'd Ketakman, dan Kicap.

Larian bermula tepat pada jam 7:25 pagi.

Route agak menarik, lalu depan astro, dan sekeliling Stadium Bukit Jalil.

Actual Distance: 10.61 km (Mengikut Garmin GPS)

Masa:

Jures - 54:14 m (Position: 101 / ?)

Syam - 1h:25m (Personal Best - 15 minit kurang daripada Mizuno Wave Run)

Kicap - Injured plantar fasciitis (terpaksa jalan sepanjang 3km).

Overall good nice run. Amoi untuk didakwah pun agar kurang. Mungkin diaorang dapat mengesan ketidakhadiran Abu Usama dalam larian ini.

Sekian, dilaporkan.

Jures Yahya

Habislah korang semua. Syam dah fit balik. Orang pertama yang Syam kejar lepas ni mesti Badut sebab Badut confident boleh memang 100m lawan dengan Syam (masa Syam berisi itu hari  la!!!).

Selamat Hari Lahir Kepada Radin Mastopo

Hari ini hari lahir Radin Mazlan Radin Baharuddin.

Hari lahir Radin ni mesti akan diingati sampai bila-bila sebab masa 1994 dulu, Graduation Day jatuh pada hari lahir Radin (sehari lepas SPM habis rasanya). Jadi lepas satu batch dah dapat Sijil Pingat Emas (kah3) dan nyanyi lagu koleq buat kali terakhir, kami pun pergi ke kantin (yang masa tu masih lagi di bawah, bukan di atas macam sekarang).

Rasanya Radin & Ikram kongsi tarikh lahir yang dekat-dekat, jadi ada kek untuk hari lahir Radin & Ikram masa tu. Setiap tahun bila sampai hari lahir Radin, ingatlah hari terakhir sebagai budak koleq tahun 1994. Kami nangis sampai bengkok cobong hidung ha3.

Aku memang rapat jugak dengan Radin dari F1 lagi. Masa F1, Radin bedmate Joe, so duduk depan katil aku. Muka Radin innocent (tak de perkataan bahasa Melayu yang boleh describe innocent, takkan "tak bersalah" kot) giler masa F1 ha2, tak caya suruh dia scan gambar2 F1. Sama2 duduk kat Dorm E so selalu dimangsakan dengan prefect dorm yang tahap kegilaan dia dah.... (kena tanya Doc Moto, dia ada PhD dalam semua perkara bersabit ID ha2).

Banyak2 firedrill masa F1, ada satu firedrill yang mesti ingat - sebab malam tu, kesalahan kitorang adalah memain2kan nama Radin.

Yang bersalah - of course Wonggek la, mula2 dia dok bising "astaga wa gelebek nyeng was stepek wek" lepas tu aku rasa dia jugak yang awal2 pelopor Radin Ajinomoto, Radin &%^$$## dan macam2.

So malam tu prefects tanya Radin dia terasa ke tidak orang main2kan nama dia. Ha2 bila ingat2 balik, rasa innocent sangat Radin jawab dia terasa jugak sebab orang dok buat joke pasal nama dia.

Masa F2, Radin selalu keluar town ngan aku sebab kitorang je yang suka makan kat Rahmaniah, orang lain suka makan kat Saudiah. Kira selalu keluar town sekali masa F2 - kalau zaman sekarang, dah boleh claim betik dah ha2 sebab aku rasa antara yang aku paling rapat masa F2.

Then F3, aku rasa Radin kat NH kot jadi puppies he2, so mula renggang sikit sebab kitorang kat West Wing kena bergelut ha2.

By F5, semua dah bawak diri masing-masing dengan segala masalah cinta masing (ehem2), so walaupun satu house (dia Dorm 19, atas dorm aku) tapi tak rapat sangat. By F5 pun, orang lagi habiskan masa dengan budak kelas.

Anyway Radin pi Australia, aku pi UK. So balik2 aku rasa pi wedding dia in 2003 - itu antara wedding terawal aku pi. Radin pakai baju hijau muda kot? Ha ha (kena cari album gambar ni).

Masa tu aku tersesat di meja satu kumpulan makcik-makcik yg stylo & sempat berborak/flirting lagi. Masa tu istilah cougar tak wujud lagi, kalau sekarang sah2 makcik2 tu dapat nickname Cougars.

Somehow Radin banyak tolong in everything yang aku buat these last few years, especially jadi resident designer untuk semua program and logo2 Mighty Ducks. Radin and wife pun tak pernah miss reunion.

So aku pikir2 balik, kira kalau kat koleq dulu ada ala2 betik, lama-lama mesti rapat balik gak kan? (Ini untuk membantu Epit justify semua benda2 berbaur kontroversi selama ini). Macam aku dengan Radin he2.

Last-last sekali, dah alang-alang buat cerita macam ni and kat koleq aku tak pernah declare apa2 (selain main declare, itu pun tak pernah lawan La'ba Raja Declare batch), aku dengan ini secara back-datednya ingin mendeclarekan bahawa Radin dulu betik aku kat koleq. Ha3.

Selamat Hari Lahir Radin, moga mas & keluarga sihat sejahtera dan diberkati Allah.

Ini gambar isteri Radin & anak dia :-)

ps: Tema betik kali ini sebab aku baru dapat tahu sorang budak koleq yang kitorang jaga all this while buat confession dia ada betik. Kah3. Aku tak tahu nak response, but I guess he needed to get it out his chest ha2.

Good Luck for SPM (and Life!)

I had planned to call Pojan and Shahir for quite a while, since by comparison they could have been the worst treated senior debaters in the last seven years. Things did not work too well with the establishment and more often than not, they stood their ground. In the process, many incidents that in my opinion were not fair happened and we were not there to back them up (or cheer them up, the way we used to). They cannot be blamed if they feel they were abandoned.

I made a decision at one point to risk severing the relationship that we had with the boys for the bigger picture. Along the way, many people paid the price and one of the groups most affected was these boys.

Usually before they go for their SPM, they would have received cards and postcards wishing them good luck. Their batch would have gone through a full weekend's worth of scholarship and career workshop - outlining the steps and possibilities they will encounter once they leave the school. In previous years, we even made occasional visits just to cheer the boys and distracted them from the pressure of SPM.

Pojan and Shahir did not get any of that, though they deserve every bit of it. Even the SMS became very occasional as we all move on in different directions.

Overwhelmed by a sense of guilt (and the need to retain some portion of the past as we move forward in life), I made a call to both of them last night (ha ha partly to entertain me in the massive balik kampung jam).

So much has changed. The school has changed. The few people who were instrumental in the collage of memories for the last 7 years would have moved on too.

Most importantly, Pojan and Shahir will move on too.

But there was an air of optimism about everything.

There were a few good news from MCKK. The boys seemed to be a lot more at ease with the new openness and hassle-free approach (and I hope the information and updates I receive have been accurate). The Form 3 batch managed to get a 3rd rank in the whole SBP based on their PMR-trial; so hopefully we'll hear some good news by the year end. The Form Five was ranked 12th (according to them) based on the SBP trial, also the best so far (the best result since 2004, if I can recall, was 2006's at 18th). I just hope they don't screw up the way we did when the trial results were very encouraging (somehow MCKK boys have the tendency).

The rest of the chats were about them (for once). Shahir wants to do economics and all geared for it. Pojan will be taking the accounting route and will end up in the UK (that's his plan). With both planning to be in the UK, the debaters family will have quite a gathering in 2-3 years down the line (note: their career decision has got nothing to do with me or others ha ha, though of late we only produced one engineer and two doctors, the rest are all economists, accountants or lawyers ha2).

Anyway I wish them (and Class of 2010) good luck.

You will have an opportunity to finally fly away and choose the path of your life, as you like it. Choose carefully and responsibly as there are cause and effects for everything we do in life. Make us proud and come back as responsible citizens who know where our place in the society is.

Our time is up and by now we can only watch from afar.

But there's a thing called telephone :-), so always pick it up when you need to revisit the past.

Leftovers of Mighty Ducks: Deepavali With Coach

Mighty Ducks feel a memory of the distant past, though the last Mighty Ducks' game that we cheered for was only in July.

But the last few weeks had been able to rekindle whatever we left behind with Mighty Ducks. Last weekend, some Bapak Itiks decided to go for seafood dinner in Umbai, Melaka. I happened to be travelling from the south so managed to drop by to join the crowd. I know that the real intention was to escape the wives (ha ha) since none of them came with the wife, but it was a good time spent catching up after the patchy few months of Mighty Ducks.

The boys seem to be doing quite well too. The school, under the new HM gives a lot more attention and unlike the last few years, the boys had managed to enroll into a few tournaments themselves. They lost a penalty flick (again) to SERATAS at UPSI Open a few weeks back at quarter final and they'll be joining the USM International Open in December. This is the first time they rejoin the tournament since we first brought them in 2007.

I stumbled a collection of photos of the boys visiting Mr Pala for Deepavali. I had always dreamed of the time when openness will be part of MCKK culture again - I guess it's slowly becoming a reality.

It's about time to find time to pay a visit to Mr Pala, he's the only one left from the Mighty Ducks crowd!

More photo's from Syahmi's Facebook here.

KPI Blog Dll

1) Sebenornya, akses ke blog ni telah diberikan kepada 2-3 orang yang lain.

2) Tapi hampeh, KPI tak naik jugak.

3) Aku akan bertanding untuk gulingkan Presiden Batch Tuan Syed Khalid AlJuned atas kegagalan dia memenuhi KPI blog batch.

4) Tak ingens lah mentula kita macam ni.

It Comes One Full Circle

The United Kingdom Executive Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC) was a union of Malaysian students societies in universities throughout the UK. I can't remember the current number of memberships, but at its height it counted 44 societies from 44 universities in the UK as members, roughly representing 10,000 students. 

UKEC is sentimental to me personally because it was the work (and brain child) of (among others) the late Adlan Benan Omar (Class of 90). Together with other pioneers (including Harmiadi Don Rahim, also Class of 90), UKEC was formed in its nascent form in 1993.

I remember the summer of 1994 when Ben was back in Malaysia and we had a long chat about my plan after school. By that time, I already secured an Esso scholarship to US to become a geologist (ha ha nasib baik!) and my mind was already tuned towards that. A weekend with Ben, somehow we made a promise to each other that I would end up in the UK somehow and UKEC played a central role in it - because the plan was to bring me directly into UKEC.

The rest, as they say, is history.

The first 7 chairmen of UKEC were all budak koleq, so much so that at one point it was used against UKEC (some quarters alleged it as an MCKK old boy network ha ha):

1st: Adlan Benan Omar (Class of 90)

2nd: Eqhwan Mokhzanee Mohamad (Class of 92)

3rd: Harmiadi Don Rahim (Class of 90)

4th: Hilmi Yusof (Class of 92)

5th: Rafizi Ramli - 2 terms (Class of 94)

6th: Azri Nache - 2 terms (Class of 95)

The chain was broken in 2001, when the chairmanship was finally passed to a non-MCKK. It went through its low moments (as any organisation should be) before picking up again to reach its height from the mid 2005 onwards.

I had asked a few people from Class of 2005 to consider running for UKEC as they settled down in the UK, but I suppose life took a different turn for most of them.

In the end, perhaps realising that it would have meant a lot to the late Adlan Benan that finally another MCKK  old boy takes the helm of UKEC - Sdr Farquar Haqqani (Class of 2006) had been working his way up the UKEC ladder for the last 2 years.

Alhamdulillah, last weekend he defeated 2 other candidates to be elected as the next UKEC chairman - a small matter to most but most sentimental to some of us.

Hopefully it's a sign of many things to come, from the Classes of 2007 onwards who will be in the UK :-)

Good luck Haqqa, this is a way of saying congratulations for all the trials and tribulations thus far.

Qadha: Perutusan Aidilfitri oleh Tuan Presiden Mentula Ingens

Sungguh yengko perutusan ini, aku terlepas pandang ha ha. Selamba pakai semua video yang aku upload dulu, then combine dengan voice over ha ha ha.

Text penuh:

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullah hiwabarakatuh.

Alhamdulillah. Bersyukur kita ke hadrat Alllah SWT kerana dengan keizinanNya jua maka pada hari ini dapat kita bersama-sama menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. Batch Yengkoz kini sudah 16 tahun lebih setelah keluar koleq.

Syawal adalah satu mekanisme yang baik untuk kita kembali mengeratkan silaturrahim.

Rasulullah SAW ada bersabda yang maksudnya: "sesiapa yang beriman dengan Allah dan hari kiamat maka janganlah dia menyakiti tetangganya. Dan sesiapa yang beriman dengan Allah dan hari kiamat, hendaklah dia memuliakan tetamunya..."

Kita seharusnya menggunakan peluang ini untuk mengunjungi Yengkoz 2, saudara-mara, handai dan taulan agar mereka mengenali antara satu dengan lain yang sekaligus akan mengeratkan lagi ikatan silatulrahim.

Syawal adalah tanda kemenangan dan kejayaan melawan hawa nafsu, godaan dunia, sikap membazir dan boros.

Tidak merugikan jika kita bersederhana dalam menyambut hari yang mulia ini. Perabut tidak semestinya diganti dengan yang baru manakala permaidani tidak perlu ditukar dengan rekaan terkini.

Jagalah pemakanan kita supaya apa yang dimakan tidak memudaratkan kita kelak. Mungkin amalan berpuasa enam patut dipertimbangkan.

Kepada mereka yang melakukan perjalanan di Idul Fitri ini, samada untuk pulang ke kampung halaman mahupun menziarahi sanak-saudara dan handai taulan, berhati-hatilah di jalan raya. Adalah lebih baik kita tiba lewat sedikit daripada terbabit dalam kemalangan semasa dalam perjalanan.

Assalamualaikum. Selamat Hari Raya."

Tuan Syed Khalid Al-Juned, Presiden Mentula Ingens yang yengko

College Round Up August 2010

With the end of the Mighty Ducks Project, there would not be too many reasons to go back to MCKK. The project ended poignantly, especially knowing that Mr Thaman would be leaving Malaysia for good for a voluntary work at a children's hospital in India.

He wrote a long letter expressing his feeling since joining us in the project. Initially I thought I wanted to publish the letter here, but it's personal and in the spirit of letting the bygones be bygones, I decided to keep it private. Suffice to say that he was sad and I felt bad to have dragged him into all this, late into his retirement.

So Badut and I made a last trip for Mighty Ducks to say goodbye to him in August. We spent a couple of hours chatting - mostly about how this and that boy had grown up, or reminiscing the early days. There is nothing that we can do that can pay his and Mr Pala's kindness, but I take comfort that things will be better for MCKK hockey after this even when we are not around.

To one of the greatest and most dedicated teachers who passed through MCKK gates - thank you very much Mr Thaman, you taught us more than just hockey. You taught us tolerance, discipline, kindness and hard work.

The boys may not appreciate these values now because they had been under a different regime for a very long time, but one day they will look back and thank you, as much as we are grateful to you now. May you find peace in your work in India and we pray that we will meet again.

Badut & Mr Thaman

We also took time to tour MCKK ground (perhaps for the last time, for a very long time).

Things are changing, we notice the old surau is being modified. From the look of it, it may become a cafeteria, so after all these years koleq boys will benefit from a properly built cafeteria (though I still prefer the kapet yang berupa garaj bas). Maybe there will be a new generation of Makcik Kapet and Noni Kapet!

The new IB buildings at the back of the old surau are also taking shape fast. I cannot comment on anything (ha ha), nanti ada orang terasa kah kah kah, but it's good to see some progress on the ground.

Our time with MCKK is over, as we go along there will be less and less updates like this. 

We can now only offer prayers, hopefully we'll make MCKK proud in different ways now that our time on the ground is over.

Modification taking place, it looks as if there'll be a food counter?

Siri Gambar Vintage KNO: Big Flood 1993

Untuk mencapai KPI bagi tahun ini, aku ambil jalan mudah dan copy & paste dari email dalam batch net ha ha!

KNO:
ni ada satu gambar vintage
banjir besar di kuale. melimpah air sungai perak ke lembah.
ezam kurus siot

Nik:
Bochap kah itu?

KNO:

Doc Mot:
Kenapa aku tak ingat perihal banjir ni ???

KNO:

Doc Mot:
Mana boleh .. kalau aku nampak tarikh tu dengan betul .. banjir tu masa kita F5 tu... aku tak kena confinement masa F5 .. 

Wong:
Ala..Syed Moto sepanjang tahun kena confinement pasal locker selebet....

Qadha: Siri Mentula/Yengko Menakluki Dunia

Siri Yengko/Mentula Menakluki Dunia berterusan walaupun Noni bercuti seketika:

Yang ni Gadap & Epit masuk lari-lari, kegilaan baru Mentula Ingens lepas tertubuhnya Kelab Penyokong Tegar Chamat (KPTC) dengan beridolakan Ayah Cha (Chamat) dan menyertai marathon di seluruh dunia:

Yang ini pula menjawab soalan kenapa Fadli tak kahwin lagi, atau kenapa Epit asyik berduka akhir-akhir ini:

Tapi Ja memang betul-betul kahwin dengan awek Jepun, susah payah aku ngn Bobo dok ada fantasy nak kahwin ngn awek Jepun, tengok-tengok Ja jugak yang berjaya:

Satu lagi berita Mentula menakluki dunia ialah pertunangan KNO, jauh-jauh dia balik dari Islamabad nak bertunang, tapi aku tak berjumpa cari gambar.

HucsJe pun sedang menakluki dunia di Oslo (I think) tapi tak de pulak gambar dia. Errr HucsJe, mana gambar kau beraya rumah aku this year?

There And Back Again

It must have been ages.

The last posting was at the start of Ramadhan and as was with all the other things in the last one and a half month, the target for ucapan raya Warta KPKM missed by a mile.

I always said that life is what happens to you while you are busy planning other things (well, not my original quotation, I was so touched watching Mr Holland's Opus and the theme featured prominently in the movie. In fact some of us must have fancied ourselves as Mr Holland throughout those years doing The Mighty Ducks Project - Note 1) .

I digress, this is what happens when you stop writing for a while.

Anyway, life took a very different turn in mid-August. I tried my best to plan for things around me, but sometimes certain things cannot be anticipated at all. Many people asked why I decided to go for it, especially knowing my tendency to shy away from amanah, because once you give your words to carry it you have to climb a mountain to do justice to the amanah so entrusted on you.

I blame 99% of the decision on MCKK.

There's a notion called duty that MCKK is so good at inculcating in us. We grew up with this heavy notion on our shoulders, that it is our duty to do what is asked of us, or what is right when no one else was around to do it, no matter what our personal feelings are. It's the notion of duty that makes some prefects in Kuala Kangsar become monstrous, it is also the same notion that made us braved the night to deliver the best Speech Day's exhibition ever (well, plus the chance to spend time with the juniors, NGA TA etc., but that's just a side dish).

So some of us ended up in what can only be best described by Frodo's foolish offer to carry the ring to the mountain:

"I'll do it, though I do not know the way"

In all probability, he would be killed in the enterprise and it was a mission destined for disaster. Yet while hardship and pain awaits at each junction, there are times when the fate of the many is decided by the smallest and most unexpected, for life is also about the pureness of heart and intention, not always about the strength and might.

With that naive hope, so I embarked on the next adventure. I am pretty sure that the wounds will be great and it takes time to recover, but as long as it is not a mortal wound, I am reminded of Fazurin's nonchalant speech to the debaters in 2006 that what does not kill us will make us stronger.

As much as MCKK values compelled us to make erratic and unexpected decisions that others may shirk away from (given the circumstances), MCKK world also provided the most comfort in the lonely journey. I am grateful that I am surrounded and assisted by the ablest and most dedicated juniors, whose commitment breaks my heart knowing that they have to carry part of the burden unwittingly due to the association with me.  The batchmates who rally the support - either financial or material beings - remind me of why no matter how far we choose to travel, no matter how big is our adventure; our roots are here and we shall always be back here. 

The blip in the last one month is a glimpse of what may yet to come. This is my burden and there is no other way, I have always known that the last 6 years would not last forever. I am glad that we made the best out of the time, to recreate friendships, to fill the void of growing old with a modicum of laughter and memories. One day we will fall back to those crucial 6 years as the period that binds us as strong as the 5 fulfilling years in MCKK had been - so that whatever or wherever we choose to traverse this Earth, we will not lose way with each other.

Certainly there will be adjustments. At the beginning, there was even option that the blog had to be restarted from scratch, but we have hundreds of postings here that are too valuable to confine to the bin of archives. So this will stay and Noni Kapet will be around for many years to come - somehow we'll manage and it'll be more fun to keep everyone guessing on which Noni doing which post.

So as the title suggests - I will be away for a while but I will always be here, because my heart is here. Those who keep coming back to check for an update, please do come back. It's only a short while before I complete the journey and be back again.

Welcome back everyone, sorry to have scared you.

NOTE 1

Mr Holland has got nothing to do with trying to be Holland's big brother, ha ha ha.

Ucapan Raya Ala Warta 2010

As we greeted Ramadhan, it is customary to repeat the silliness of Ucapan Raya Ala Warta for 2010. I have in my possession the special editions of Warta KPKM for 1992 - 1994 (courtesy of Q Class of 95) which I will scan to show how silly it was back then; and how even sillier it can be at this age.

The target this year is 500 ucapan! Last year we hit 327 :-)

I don't have time yet to scan and edit a few photos/old Warta, so for the time being you have to put up with recycled clips. I will do a new one by Aidilfitri this year (hoi Noni mintak raise la macam ni, banyak kerja laa).

Selamat Beribadat Sepanjang Ramadhan & beyond 

dari Class of 94

Ha ha KNO pressure straight edit gambar!

Markah Terbaru Sukanterer Inter-House

Waaaah pressure betul jadi tukang update blog batch ni. Lambat sikit je kena marah wooo.....

Berikut adalah markah terkini Sukanterer inter-house dengan event2 yang aku sendiri tak paham (contohnya: Agenda Dominasi Dunia).

For the record, aku dah protest sebab imbangan points kepada pemenang individu & house semasa bowling terlalu berat sebelah, sehinggakan Idris yang tercorot dalam semua acara tiba2 menjadi saingan utama sebab ada 2-3 kaki bowling dalam batch tu.

Lepas ini kena panggil batch meeting (tp tanpa ucapan2 ala2 "caleng pakai sabun itu acidic") untuk cari jalan yang lebih equitable.

Futsal Padu & Spender Koyak Tahap Kronik

FROM PRESIDENT'S DESK

Saya ingin melaporkan kejadian tournament futsal yang disertai oleh:

Team Merah Kuning

Idzam Noor

Syam

Sheppe

Pokpek

Mior

Cheebix

Fitt

Wong

Gadap

Syed Asrul

Ayien

Team Hitam

Toy

Kalai

Capoe

Mache

Hairul

Faz

Jasman

Fadhil

Azwan

Radin

(maaf, aku mungkin miss beberapa orang di sini, tapi aku dah reference dengan gambar dlm FB)

Team Merah Kuning telah melayakkan diri ke peringkat akhir plate manakala team Hitam melayakkan ke final cup.

Antara penjaring utama untuk team Merah kuning ialah Fitt dan Cheebiks. Chibsfrieskies telah digelar "Prolific" dan beliau juga telah menawarkan diri untuk menjadi Head Boy.

Sayangnya, kerana kekurangan nasi, Team Merah Kuning tewas di final.

Pada final game plate, team Merah Kuning tewas nipis kepada team 95. Tiada kemalangan ataupun friction antara team, malah permainan penuh fun ala-ala gig di tepi pool suatu masa dahulu.

Antara penjaring pasukan Hitam ialah Kalai, Faz, Capoe, Mache, Hairul, Fadhil.

melayakkan diri ke peringkat akhir cup, team Hitam sebelum itu menang dengan batch 85. pada final melawan team 92, perlawanan sepenuh masa berakhir dengan gol 2-2. sepakan penalti masih lagi buntu. terutama apabila seorang player yang suka celebrate melampaui batas, termiss sepakan penalti. Ditemuramah selepas permainan "Aku nervous sebab James nak jumpa aku lepas game".

Akhirnya, bala batch kita bermain spirit of the coin telah datang dalam bentuk balingan coin yang telah menentukan kekalahan. Oleh kerana tendangan penalti kedua penjaga gol diselamatkan, kemenangan ditentukan oleh toss coin.

Walaupun penat, kami semua gembira.

Friends forever...

Hanya 3 orang sahaja (Kalai, Pokpek dan aku) yang join makan di Kedai Pelita kerana tournament habis lewat dan kebanyakan dah buat plan dengan bini.

Aku tak berapa ingat tapi kalau yang lain boleh tambah, silalah.

p.s: Saya main dua dua team. "Sbb I am the president"

NOTA KAKI SEBENAR

Grammar, punctuation dll oleh Presiden Yengkoz Mentula Inges memang hopeless, nasib baik hokdok membanggakan.

Peraturan Tetap Mendapatkan Markah Untuk Rumah

Setelah dilemparkan pelbagai tuduhan mengenai kredibiliti dan ketelusan, Epit yang merasakan dia disamakan dengan SPR (ha ha dia memang ada cita-cita nak jadi pengerusi SPR, lagipun dia memang cuba tackle anak Pengerusi SPR sekarang masa di koleq) mengisytiharkan peraturan tetap pemarkahan agar jelas bagi semua:

"Fellow Mentula Ingens,

izin aku clarify sikit mengenai mcm mana nak earn points.

ada beberapa cara:

1. melalui pertandingan-pertandingan yang dianjurkan e.g. bowling, etc. dalam perkara ini, markah akan diperolehi melalui kehadiran dan juga kejayaan dalam pertandingan. (penyertaan 10 markah setiap sorang; markah kejayaan ikut persetujuan/SLA antara organiser dan Presiden)

2. melalui sumbangan kepada usaha menaikkan nama Mentula Ingens e.g. menyertai Futsal MCOBA, Bowling MCOBA, etc - ini kita bagi markah penyertaan 10 markah setiap sorang. syaratnya penyertaan hendaklah dibuat atas nama Class of 94/Yengkoz/Mentula Ingens. kalau menang, mungkin boleh petition untuk dapat markah lebih (tertakluk kepada persetujuan Presiden)

3. melalui sesi unaitfeckt - yang ni dapat 10 markah setiap sorang. untuk sesi Unaitfeckt, tak perlu poster Yengkoz Wuz Ere. syarat yang perlu dipenuhi: minimum 6 orang dan disertai oleh sekurang-kurangnya 3 rumah yang berlainan.

4. melalui acara Yengkoz Wuz Ere - ini tak kira berapa orang, sorang pun boleh, takdak orang pun boleh. janji ada poster yengkoz wuz ere. dan tempat2/acara2 menarik. yang ni dapat 10 markah. (wong paling expert dlm bab ni)

yang korang selalu confuse adalah kaedah 3 dan 4.

sebagai respons kepada kontroversi markah larian sekarang, aku selaku penjaga markah merasakan layak dapat markah di bawah kaedah 4. kami tangkap gambar dengan poster Yengkoz Wuz Ere di khalayak yang ramai dalam satu acara yang disertai oleh 5000 orang."

Setakat ini tidak ada bangkangan yang nyata - kesemuanya menerima walaupun ada desas-desus wakil Md Shah masih tak berpuas hati kerana kesemua penjawat awam dalam batch datang dari rumah Leman ha ha. 

Berdasarkan peraturan tetap pemarkahan ini, kedudukan tidak terkini (SPR batch macam SPR Malaysia jugak, lagging nak update lambat gler mendaftar hari ini anak aku masuk koleq baru nak update) markah antara rumah (masih dipanggil Sukantara walaupun aktiviti haram ada kena mengena ngan sukantara ha ha) adalah seperti berikut*:

* nampak sangat Jures tak de kerja, boleh buat benda ni dalam masa setengah jam ha ha.

** arahan - sila click ke atas rumah masing-masing di carta pai untuk mendapat pecahan markah (in case ramai yang macam Fadli tak paham ni sebenarnya flash embedded dalam posting)

---------------------------------------

Seperti biasa, mesti akan ada spin off apabila nama Yengkoz disebut di mana2. Berikut adalah petikan perbincangan yang telah diminitkan, dengan memadamkan nama supaya ini tidak digunakan untuk menjejaskan kerjaya politik, ditempat kerja atau memberi alasan isteri menghukum tidur di luar kerana malu dengan suami:

"amacam, sapa nak update kat MCOBA?... hahaha 9296 pun sama?..
bagi aku, kuda or burung.... i think i like Yengkoz better... or better still "Not Enuff Teaching"..."

"Big Dick Yengkos!"

"YengkozUnaitfekt??"

"Ir Gadap = BiggezDixYengkoz"

"camne batch ni masuk koleq ?
7882 Crotalus Siamang/Koteless"

"ni eunuch ni, mcm laksamana Cheng Ho.."

"r*fizi batang berjuntai"

"ala yengkoz wuz ere dah le"

"berjuntai bunyi macam lembik.... batang menegak laa"

"apa2 nama yg membayangkan konek aku besar, aku setuju :-)"

"aku rasa cadangan kau tidak dipersetujui.
aku rasa btach kita kena ada nama yg berkaitan dgn yengko + konek, let me google what's latin for konek!"

"ha ha ha aku dah dapat:
aku cadangkan nama batch kita:
MENTULA INGENS
meaning Big Dick in Latin!"

"i thot penis is latin?"

"mengikut research aku, penis is an english word derived from a latin word meaning tail.
But Mentula is a latin word specifically for penis. ha ha"

"YENGKOZ letak kat depan"

"Klau jepun konek=chinchin"

"YengKonekDaiyo!"

"kena konek besar...konek kecik tak main la...."

"Yengkoz Mentula Ingens. Satu undi drp aku"

"Mat Top batch Ketiak Licin aka DeArmpit Le Bald."

"Versi Arab - I'SHOBAH DZAKARUN KABIRUN maksudnya Yengko Konek Besar."

"Ahhh lega betul mentula ingens aku selepas baru sekejap menjalankan tanggujawab malam jumaat...steady aku!"

"kau dah masukkan 3gp kau ke ... yg tunjukkan kau punya mentual tu power sgt ...."

"Bukan mentual. mentula"

Maka dari situ bermulalah trend baru memberi ucapan/memulakan hari2 seperti:

"Fellow Mentula Ingens!" atau

"Greetings Mentula Ingens" atau

untuk mengejek sesiapa yang penakut, komen seperti:

"Mentula minimus la kau ni" yang bermaksud "konek kecik la kau..."

Disebabkan perbincangan nama batch ini, semua emails telah bertukar menjadi lucah walaupun asalnya thread dimulakan dengan serius. Contohnya, cadangan supaya satu kaukus perniagaan dengan saling membantu akhirnya dihijack menjadi adegan ranjang Tuan Presiden Yengkoz Mentula Ingens (Syed Khalid AlJuned) yang menyalahgunakan kepala surat rasminya (ala-ala skandal kepala surat di Kelang ha ha) untuk mengelap sesuatu yang begitu scandalous melibatkan Raja Betik & Betiknya (tidak dapat dinamakan kerana sang bini mungkin membaca ha ha).

Mulai hari ini, batch yang tidak boleh diajar ini menamakan batch kami

YENGKOZ MENTULA INGENS 

(Latin), atau

YENGKONEKDAIYO! 

(saduran Jepun oleh Hj Tchap yang bahasa Arabnya pun merangkak), atau

I'SHOBAH DZAKARUN KABIRUN 

(saduran Arab oleh Ir Gadap, aktivis anti-bidaah yang paling banyak memperkenalkan perkara karut)

Semuanya membawa maksud yang sama iaitu (sila rujuk perbualan di atas, kalau diulang2 nanti blog batch kami naik jadi top rank dalam carian Google untuk kategori lucah Melayu). 

NOTA KAKI

1) Trend mencari nama dalam bahasa Latin ini menjadi kegilaan di MCKK dahulu. Batch kami merujuk nama-nama bahasa Latin ini (atau bahasa-bahasa Eropah yang berbaur Latin) sebagai nama kapir. Semasa mula-mula naik Form 3, ada jugalah beberapa orang yang tergila-gila mengukir nama kapirnya sendiri. Yang paling konsisten walaupun mendapat reaksi yang kurang baik adalah Hansen Derova (seorang teman dari Sungkai). 

Walau bagaimana pun, disebabkan oleh kegilaan bermain-main semasa Form 5 (semua benda kami main, jambu, betik, kucing, bola, kayu, ranting, telefon semua kami main) sehingga lupa untuk mencari dan mendapatkan konsensus nama kapir bagi batch kami.

Lagipun selalunya nama kapir ini dipaksakan ke atas sesuatu batch, oleh sekumpulan yang agak lantang dan dikira berhaluan kiri (bertentangan dengan sang pengawas yang berhaluan kanan). Disebabkan kumpulan berhaluan kiri di batch kami terlalu ramai (ha ha), atau pandangan satu batch memang liberal dan anti-establishment (sehingga ke hari ini), tidak timbul persoalan satu kumpulan perlu meletakkan label kepada batch untuk menobatkan pengaruh dan kekuasaannya.

Ditambah pula dengan kegilaan bermain-main, batch kami tidak pernah ada nama kapir sehingga ke hari ini dan konsensusnya adalah nama kapir itu bidaah (ha ha menurut Ir Gadap, yang hampir semuanya bidaah).

Untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan terutamanya di kalangan murid tua generasi baru atau murid MCKK zaman ini, yengko bukanlah nama kapir atau nama batch. Di zaman 90an, yengko bermakna samseng, iaitu lagak berjalan sambil menghayunkan tangan seperti pendulum di belakang dan tidak mengendahkan sesiapa seperti dunia ini dia yang punya. Samseng-samseng yang yengko ini selalunya berjalan menghadang jalan dan junior terpaksa berjalan perlahan-lahan dan takut-takut dibelakang (ha ha).

Yengko mula kami gunakan sebagai bahan ejekan sesama sendiri, untuk menunjukkan betapa sayurnya batch ini - sudahlah tidak pandai, tidak reti diajar kemudian samseng pula.

Namun, konsensus dalam batch ini juga mengakui bahawa alat kelamin kami semuanya besar-besar belaka.

2) Petikan perbincangan hanyalah melibatkan 10% dari keseluruhan email yang dihantar. Email-email lain tidak sesuai untuk dipamerkan, terutamanya kerana banyak perbincangan juga melibatkan nama batch-batch lain ha ha ha. 

Cuma konsensusnya adalah mereka yang bersusah payah mencari nama kapir ini bagi batch lain perlu diberikan sekalung tahniah, kerana sebelum pertengahan tahun 1990an masih belum ada internet secara meluas.

Maksudnya mereka perlu melakukan kajian mendalam menggunakan kamus latin, atau menggunakan Encyclopedia Britannica untuk mencari nama-nama tersebut. Kemudian barulah batch-batch selepas kami mula menggunakan Altavista, atau Yahoo dan lain-lain agaknya.

Tahniah kepada semua kerana berjaya mencari species ular, kuda dan beruk dalam Latin. Ooi Guan Kok pasti bangga!
