My Secondary School Days

Again i continue.

As the king of the house, i thought my late dad was an army like dictator although he's a school teacher. What ever he wish or said resembles "I'm always right!" or "I always know what's right or wrong!" Yeah, he's a teacher...what else can i say.


As his eldest child, i was told to set examples to my siblings... the good examples off course. Neeeooooo... that's not me... I seldom set good example to them. Up to Form 3 in Pasir Puteh Secondary School, Ipoh i was a good samaritan due to religious studiest & scouts practices. Like one Malay saying, "Step on the ant, but it didn't die".

But then come Form 4 after SRP exam, i got transfered to ACS Ipoh due to the availability of Science Stream classes there...yeah i'm a science guy. ACS Ipoh the boys only school. aaaahhh... watta memory.... Full of "barbaric" memories.... hahaha.

I took the school bus at 6.00 am, but it's not an ordinary school bus... It's the dark red MGS Ipoh school bus. What is MGS? Methodist Girl School.. What? A school bus for girls? And its a 60s Bedford bus with gorilla face like front grill. "This has to be a joke", i thought... I'm going to a boys school but boarding on a bus for girls?

Well, aboard this bus the boys sat far behind & the girls filling in front... it's been like this & always be like this. At 6.30am then the worst part happened. The chinese bus driver took us to the girls school & asked the boys to get off the bus too... Whaaaattttt?? Aren't i be going to ACS? Why here? Luckily my good buddy Yeop (nickname) explained why it has to be like this. Aaaahhh, it's a transit point which we have to wait for the blue ACS bus... another gorilla face like front grill bus.

Yeop told me he's been using these buses since Form 1. At that time i was in Form 4 & Yeop was in Form 5. "My goodness", i said to myself. "What a splendit view around here....girls and girls everywhere...", again i was astonished. Then Yeop point at one girl & told me that girl is half Mat Saleh (half Caucasian) & she's his girlfriend. Then the girl smilled at Yeop... Wow! He really nailed it... a half Mat Saleh girlfriend!! Then he started pointing to other girls.. most of them r sweet & beautiful.. and he started saying that, that, that, that, that and that, and also that r his girlfriends...

Wait a minute... How come so many girlfriends? Even i don't have any (back then). Well, that's Yeop that i know... He's like a magnet among friends... So easy to be friend with him & hard to dislike him. What ever words comes out from his mouth, brought laughter to who ever communicate with him.. I thought that's the key to tackle people, especially girls... Make them laugh till they get stomach ache... hehahe haha
