Life as a nomad . . . .

Annyeong



I can't remember how long since it started. The only thing I remembered is I'm wearing baju melayu to school called Tabika Islam Kuala Pilah, when I'm 5 years old. Not much I can say bout that school, only the thing that I remembered is beside that school is a Christian kindergarten. Being kid, we love to fight between this two schools, but too bad, most of the fight between kids in my school and that school is bout teasing each others religion. I'm not racist nor terrorist or religiosist (got this word kah?), neither do they, we're just young boys who don't know anything yet (both oso think to defend their religion by saying it is the right one). Thinking bout it is quite funny, I mean sometime but here I still want to say sorry if I ever hurt anyone during those time. My religion didn't teach us to talk bad bout other religious :)

Next thing I remembered, I'm wearing a red and white grid pattern of collar t-shirt to school. It is my kindergarten time where I go to Tadika Kemas Kuala Pilah. This is the time where I learn how to sing Row Your Boat and Twinkle Little Star song. Too bad, that's the only two English song I know. Mary Had A Little Lamb also I don't know until now . . . .





After finished my kindergarten, I enter Sek Keb Kuala Pilah. I got a same class with my cousin (due to certain issue, he's not going to kindergarten). I was so happy because he is my only closed cousin and we're on the same class. Too bad, those happiness last for not too long, 3 days after I started my school, our family moved to Kedah where my father continued his degree there. That's the end of my life at Negeri Sembilan, my dear state . . . .

I lived in Universiti Utara Malaysia for three years. Maybe that is the reason I can adapt well in university life because I grow by looking at university students life. So many students came to our house to do assignment with my father. There, I go to Sek Keb Dato' Wan Kemara for three years. Those of the time that I realized my talent and interest in drawing when me and my friends decided to create our own comic. Too bad, when I'm just about to finished my first volume of the comic, our family moved to KL as my father finished his studies. That's the end of my life at Kedah, my childhood state . . .

Life in KL is pretty hectic. Jam here and there. Smoke here and there. Place that I lived is at the border of KL and Batu Caves so we can choose either to put Selangor or Kuala Lumpur in our address. I went to Sek Keb Taman Koperasi Polis. I heard that school received the best KL school award in 1997. Well, I don't really care that much. I just want to start find friends as soon and much as possible. But came from Kedah really put me in depression for the first week in school. The whole week I got teased because of my Kedah slang. Demmit, 3 years at Kedah really changed my Negeri Sembilan tongue. At the same time, I also attended to Sek Agama Batu Muda. 2 schools in one day. Fuh . . . God bless me. After finished my primary school, I entered Sek Men Keb Batu Muda. Very fun time for me where every morning me and my friends ride a bike together to school, eat together and yada yada yada. It is a new school who just opened and the most senior in that school is Secondary 3 students. Too bad, those fun time again not last to long where a month after I started my secondary school life, I got an offer from boarding school at Negeri Sembilan. That's the end of my life at KL, the most fun place for my childhood . . .

I started back my life at Negeri Sembilan. Entering Sek Dato Abdul Razak really put me in an awkward position. I honestly hate that school. But as one of the top three school in Malaysia (during that time), my father see no reason to let me leave that school. 3 months of begging (+ crying) to let me change school have no effect on him. I even purposely make my exam result getting the last place in whole school just to show him how bad that school is. But, which father don't know their own son? Passed my PTS exam, getting full A from UPSR, he knows how smart I am and I cannot fool him. So I gave up and started to enjoy the school, joining curricular activities, follow seniors to go hangout, go camping with my club, yada yada yada. Too bad, 7 months in school and when I'm just about to enjoy a life as a boarding school student, my father got offer to move to Sabah. Since it is too far, my father gave me option to follow him and I took the offer. Again, I end my life at Negeri Sembilan and moved from that state . . . .

Inside the plane, me and my siblings were discussed bout how Kota Kinabalu look alike. Seriously the only thought came to my mind is that I will go to school by boat and our house is the long house type. Again I stressed here I'm not racist or what, it just a pure thought came from innocence 13 years old boy. When we arrived, we're so shock. Kota Kinabalu is well developed. In fact, I think it is way better compared to Alor Setar and Seremban and Ipoh. I entered Maktab Sabah from July 01. I don't know why, but I really loved that school since the first day I step my foot on it. The most thing I loved bout this school is this is the first school I managed to stay more than 3 years. I started from form 1 and until I graduated. After graduated, I got an offer from Labuan matriculation. I thought that the next point in my life will be another Borneo area. But, things happened. I won say this is "too bad" this time, because I feel that this is like my most luckiest time I ever had, I got offer to study at Perak. So here, end of my life at Borneo, the place that grew me up to become a good teenagers.

Universiti Teknologi Petronas. Where I spent 5 years of my life, studied to become a person that lived in a real world. Before I come to Perak, I thought UTP will be inside deep jungle. Why? Because I never really went to Perak before. I got past by few times through highway and your guys know that the only thing we can see beside highway is tree, jungle and green things. But thank God, UTP is not in the middle of jungle. In fact, it is in the middle of desert where the temperature I can say not lose to middle east countries. On the end of 2008, where I prepared to go back Borneo (where my home supposed to be) for my end semester break, mom told me that our family is moving to a new place called Kelantan.

On the way to Kelantan, the only thing I can see outside the aircraft window is drop of waters, in a huge amount. It is raining heavily in this state. Moving to Kelantan during end of the year is not a good idea where it is raining non stop. Sometime for 1 day. 2 days. Can even rain non stop for whole week! When I still trying to adapt to the state, the time came for me to start my internship at Selangor.

Malaysia Airlines. I can't describe how much I loved this company. How much fun I had during my time there (and how much claim I get hehehe). Everything just went perfect. In fact, too perfect for me! I can save money, can go to work late, can go back to my village any weekends I want, can go play hard with my friends every week! But 8 months indeed is short for my small heaven time. After that I went back to UTP and graduated from it year after that . . .

5 months lived at Kelantan, kind of make me insane. It's not like this state lame or what. The state is fun, foods are everywhere. It just, I've no friends here. All of them either working or living at another places. People like me who have no one day without hangout with friends, living in house just with internet really like . . . I don't know how to explained. Many people asked why I don't just go to KL hangout with others? To juniors, senior good advice here is, save money as much as you can. You will need it a lot after you graduate. No saving == become a good boy and stay at home. For sure I won't stay long here as my family will moved to Terengganu somewhere in this year. Haha I don't know how come my father got Terengganu.



So, after Kelantan, where do I head next? Do I just blindly follow my family to Terengganu? Or maybe other places. I still wondering about it until yesterday, but one magic letter solved the riddle of my life on where I know where should I go after this . . .





It is exciting to moved from one place to another places, but it also feel tiring in the same time. Hope everything will go well for me at my new place then :P
