Back in high school, I used to hate it when people asked me which school I go to. I mean, I didn’t wanna waste my saliva telling them the full name of the school because it’s such a long name (and they probably won’t recognise the name anyway). And I didn’t really want to tell them ‘Kolej’ either because it sounds like college (well, technically it is la) but it’s not a college college…. as in.. it’s still a secondary school. Confusing huh? Don’t ask me why it’s called Kolej because I can’t remember why either.
So, if you’re curious to know which school did this *ahem* elite *ahem* student come from, I came from KOLEJ TUN DATU TUANKU HAJI BUJANG MIRI.
Woah such a mouthful. To be completely honest, I kinda forgot the full name a few months ago when someone asked me o.O
Anyway, yesterday I picked Fakhrul and Nash up because I needed help with my camera and together we went back to Kolej. It’s been at least a year since I’ve been back there and I was completely dumbfounded at seeing how much everything has changed!
It’s like a freaking town by itself in there!
A really, really, really small town but still a town.
Now, time for photos!
I’ll start with the same old, same old.
Does this place have a name?
Basically most of Mdm Yeoh’s projects were still kept intact la.. they still had the mini waterfalls and stuff. But I think the Petronas Twin Towers Replica had been removed! Poor Mr Lim :S
Yay! I went back to my Form 5 class! Haha I almost forgot that I was from 5 Yakin too wth. Walked past 5 Tekun and 5 Cekal and was like.. this doesn’t feel right. 5 Yakin rocks woohoo. (although I spent a lot of time at 5 Tekun too wth)
Same old rundown classroom.
I was looking around the place to look for any marks I might have left but couldn’t find any. Maybe I didn’t leave any marks behind. But Nab sure did!
Contengan Nab #1
Contengan Nab #2
Contengan Nab #3 =.=
Oh! The bus is still the old one
I think.. it looks new but I think it’s the same.. I mean, it LOOKS the same.
And they still have a lot of these random proverbs stuck on random corners of the school. I am still not over the fact that they erased the very pretty mural we painted which said “procrastination is the thief of time”. We spent so much time painting it after PMR okay! And it was the ONLY presentable one! In my opinion, it was
Oh! There are still a lot of plants around which I’m very pleased with
Random photo #1 Pretty purple dunno what flower
Random photo #2 Dying orange flower
Random photo #3 I think this flower is dead o.O It looks kinda.. sickening o.O
Okay now,
The OLD vs The NEW
One of our academic blocks
Amanah is it? Nearest to the staff room. I can’t remember which is which already
THEIR CLASSROOMS LOOK LIKE THIS (I think):
WTH DAMN BIG OKAY! WHAT BLASPHEMY IS THIS! And it’s just across the road some more. Such a huge difference though.
Our corridor:
THEIR corridor:
OUR very much loved pondok (super love the pondoks! We used to have so much fun there
There were only 4 though so always had to run to get one to ourselves
)
THEIR pondok
=.= But I think there were only 3 so boohoo still have to share! Bleh. *bitter*
Our Assembly Hall:
THEIR MULTI PURPOSE HALL (I THINK it was their MPH):
It’s quite pretty also
Time for photos of the other random new buildings:
The blok pentadbiran from afar. Not a great photo because I think I was focusing more on the sky wth.
Guys, I think this is the new Dataran Kolej.
And this is the new hostel…
Part of the hostel taken inside the building itself.. they even have a gym!
And the wardens get a nice house too!
Gah. Now I wish I was born in 1997. Then I’d be in Form 1 next year and I get to use all the new facilities.
But I don’t wanna be 13.
And I don’t wanna be 20 either.
O.o
ANYWAY, I hope the new students appreciate the new Kolej lah. If Kolej looked like this last time I’d probably be getting much better grades *cough* excuses *cough*. And I hope that now that all the buildings are so huge the students would actually learn to walk faster. Most of the Kolej students I know walked macam siput babi mengecrawl atas jalan simen can! Felt like throwing brooms at them during Kerja Kumpulan *grunts*.
Oh! Before I forget, let me post photos of Fakhrul and Nash.
Fakhrul’s too shy for the camera la. So hard to get a proper shot of him!
Mr-I-KNOW-SO-MUCH-ABOUT-DSLRs, Nash. Thanks for teaching me the basics
Bah, that’s all.
Cya!
XOXO



























I’ve always wanted to blog about kolej!! But I was never too bored to do so hehe.
HELLO, OUR MURAL WAS THE MOST PRESENTABLE HANDS DOWN. Which is why, it’s the only one not erased muahahaha.
But I still prefer the old buildings la. It was like a queer little village back then. Haih.
wah y u comment so fast 1? which mural is yours? i don’t remember any that wasn’t erased so i guess it’s not that memorable anyway
i like the old buildings too.. but they’re so.. fragile looking.. i’m glad they kept some though. but the new buildings are damn nice still..
Er, did you just post that entry? Coz I just came back to the hotel and naturally I clicked on my frens’ blogs lah.
It’s the one outside the premier hall!!! The one with the graduation hat. It was one of the photos which graced the front cover of our school mag when we were on the committee bcoz I was bias…..go and check it out!! If you still hv it coz I dun
Me: haha yeah, i just posted it like.. 5 minutes before u commented or sth.. wasn’t i the one who designed the cover that year? o.O i’ll go check.
oh… THAT one. ah well, OUR MURAL is still nicer. they’re just bias!
Eh, urs was the one with the books and a worm wearing specs with some dorky message right?
………
Point stated.
Me: Nope it had a clock and the words were ‘procrastination is the thief of time’, something EVERYONE could relate to and not some overused ilmu-related saying
eehhh where’s this la?
Me: My school la! At Tanjong Lobang.. which is like the other end of Miri compared to Curtin
Hi Terrence,
so good of you to do write up of yr ole school. I was there a couple of months ago & was shocked of the tranformation. I used to pick Kalus and made a full circle around passing the principal office, the assembly hall and then out the other way. Now it seems that u are unable to do so. Any of you guys organising a reunion? People like Jolene, Raymond,,,Kalus is here till mid Feb……..
aunt diana
gosh…i miss kolej!! T_T
Nisa: agreed! ours WAS the only one presentable. it WAS blue, huge, pretty, stuff stuff stuff..sadly it was erased..err..it was over-painted.
ur school’s new buildings are impressive!
WOW~ my name all over da class… hahahaha…

thanx to tere for making me famous AGAIN!!!
hahahahaha…
aunt diana, hi aunty! I don’t think there are plans for a reunion at the moment but if someone decides to organise one in the near future i’m sure kalus will know about it too

christine, yeah i know! i was so shocked too

sorry, never heard/seen ur mural terey. must had been erased b4 anyone saw it….
Me: Gosh then those ppl must’ve been truly jealous..

Me: Skarang pun tak normal sampai mana
