I was born a kelantanese 49 yrs ago...Alhamdulilah still bernafas walaupun kekadang terasa semputnye..I would say I'm still okay because some friends of the same age as mine has so much health problems..InsyaAllah I hope and pray dapat tengok anak-anak berjaya dalam kehidupan pun dah kira okay lah tu..
3 years ago my daughter got a place to study architecture at UTM,Jalan Semarak.It's been awhile we've never came crossing to that area. I was raised in MINDEF and that very same university, PULAPOL (Pusat Latihan Polis)was there eversince..The boys scouts and girls guides camping ground was no more there ( they've changed it to Selera Semarak ).The swimming Pool pun dah takde dah... my first primary school (RRRS) Rifle Range Road School was still there after which we were transfered to Sek Ren Jen Keb Inggeris,Jalan Padang Tembak satu just opposite the road to make do with the increasing of population. Mana taknye..anak-anak tentera..anak-anak polis aje dah hampir penuh satu sekolah...Apalah khabarnye cikgu Som ( guru agama ).I'm one of the student educated in a multi racial English school after merdeka.
Dulu..we can just walk freely aje dan rasa dekat pulak tu from one place to another. Rasanye ada shortcuts everywhere to reach Datuk Keramat,Kampung Baru and hot springs, setapak.Tapi sekarang nie...rasa macam jauh lah pulak.
One shop that was still there (behind UTM)is kedai Ah Tong. I'm not sure whether Boh is still leaving at the same place or becoming a businessman as he always said he wanted to be when he grew up (those were the days).
Those days ( 1967-1972 Primary)when the school held sports day, all parents came. I was in Rumah Hang Tuah (yellow)AGAKNYE...ada perbarisan lagi you... and everyone took part. Very enjoyable. We love all our teachers (although) some were garang but their garang is not the kind that could create hatred...teachers and students could sit under one roof with greater interaction among us in a "cool" and presentable manner.
Those were the days...those were the days...

ReplyDeleteThru' to the words..our parents dulu-dulu sanggup bergolok bergadai to let their children kesekolah,to university and to overseas and they were very supportive with whatever the school requested.I remember those days..every students in regards to their background status received bubur gandum...susu kotak..and many more...but these days it's entirely different...
