A Trip To SASER : i could only laugh

On the night of July 3rd, i got a call from Farhah telling me that i had to go to SASER on the next day, so i just said yes. i asked what was it for, and even she didnt know anything. i was informed that it was just like a 'perfect score' program so well, i expected it to be a normal seminar. but it turned out to be.. a NO!

for some reasons i forgot the fact that it was an all-boy school, and i didnt even realise that it was the number one school in malaysia for spm. so the nine of us: farhah, maryam, nili, sarah, azwar, hafizi, muqri and i departed by bus due to transport problem.

so we arrived, at first i was like ohh their school was quite small, well i wasnt sure but i thought maahad was bigger. we were taken somewhere and gathered with some other students from other school ; KUSESS, SMAKL and another one.. i cant remember. and then i heard the teacher said "ok so now we will separate you into groups and you will go STUDY ALONG WITH SASER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS" and my reaction was like ARE YOU SERIOUS like this

please kindly remember again that it was a grateful to even meet a woman/girl there lol. so me, farhah and maryam quickly said we wanna be a group and yeah it was successful (sorry sarah n nili xD) there were two boys 'scouting' us and said we were gonna join the class 5 aorta (if im not mistaken). the first period was pendidikan islam at the mosque. first time in, ya allah only god knows. it was so embrassing like i wanna go back to school seriously. they were all like lions and we were the only humans lol. then the ustaz said "saya minx maaf lah, tapi kat sini.. budak2 ni dah lama x nampak perempuan. tuh yang sume mcm.." ah whatever lah

so we studied like usual. then after the class ended, another two boys approached us and said, "weh, ktorg disuruh untuk jage korg n bawa g mne2 yg korg nk pegi, so korg nk gi mana?" and we were like,.. hmhh. i said, "senanye ktorg lapar tapi xkan nk g kantin skrg mesti rmai org" sp the ustaz helped us by taking us to the koop. we brought some food and then he said "sebelum monyet2 tuh smpai baik pegi tempat lain" haha isnt that cruel to call them monkeys

so after that the two boys found us they took us to the canteen, asking us to hurry for the same reason : avoiding the students. it was a perfect timing and we went away just as students coming out from classes. i lowered my head most of the time and blurgh i never felt this way before. it was very awkward. the 'scouts' were good, though. but sometimes too friendly untill farhah and one of them always 'fought' lol. farhah was very funny haha. 

they took us the to class and there was no teacher in there. and they asked us to come in. did that make sense? of course no and we said we wanna go to somewhere else. "korg nk gi mane?!" "tmpt lain lah, xkan nk duk kelas xde cikgu" "yelah masalahnye gi mne2 pon sme je sume laki" and to think about that it was quite true haha. we asked to go to the mosque by ourselves but they wont let us to. i said "weh lek lah nnti smpai mase lain ktorg balik lah kelas sendiri" but no, they followed us till the very end. the women's part was upstairs and when we went downstairs to take wudhu', it turned out to be that they waited for us at the stairs. they were like eh korg nk gi mane! lol "amendee nk gi amek wudhu' je yg korg takut sgt ni kenape" "yela kalo korg hilang ktorg jugak kne!" 

so to make it more dramatic, when we went back to the class, the english teacher was already there. the two boys were already "arrgghhh" and the two went in first. kne marah terok like seriously T.T i thought i had met a teacher who was scarier than cikgu ezana haha. at that time we felt way very guilty. they were scolded because of us and then we heard "if they know how to go out then they know how to come in by themselves lah!!" so i was like, we had to go in and apologise. we apologised and sat at our places. aduuhh. then we were asked to do an exercise when we didnt have any books and we couldnt remember the story much. it was indeed a bad situation. 

but as time passed, i realised that the teacher wasnt really a strict teacher lol. serious. i like this kind of teachers. she is a chinese and what i respected about her was that she really understood muslims. after class ended, we shook her hands and she said "so sorry laahh anak(the students) tuh dah lama x nampak perempuan aa, sebab tuh macam tu. you faham kan kenape saya kene jadi garang? kalau tak itu anak2 pijak kepala saya" and smiled :) she was indeed nice and her name is miss ming. 'anak' is a good call :)

the next period, was sejarah. it was good too. we were asked to immediately remembered the 7 principes of mende ntah in 1 minute. she said "yg dari maahad ni sng aje hafal mcm hafal quran" and i was like hurrmm lol laughing inside. quite embarrassed actually to the fact that we were not as what people expected. then we discussed about politics lol or should i call it a debate, i could sense her pakatan-ness with me :) when they asked about selangor i was like ohh just realised that i was not in selangor anymore at that time.

after that was the break session untill 2.50 pm and next class 2.50-4.10 pm. so we went to mosque first, wanting to pray first but it was impossible. all i see were boys. then luckily a boy called us and asked us to eat first. so we went to their dm and ate nasi ayam. after a while we saw boys coming and we were like "cepat2!! dorg smpai daahhh" and we hurried up like hudaadadaa cpt! lol. dah mcm pelarian. the place wwa all occupied by the boys so we had to use the back door. i felt like a celebritiy that was being chased by paparazzi lol (over) haha it was indeed funny.

after praying, it was raining hard. so we went to the class from the mosque and i saw the two 'scouts' calling us and signed us to walk using the roofed passage. they told us to take our things and went to the biology laboratory. so we went there and the teacher just came in for like a while and didnt come back again. my stomachache hadnt fully recovered yet so i had to go to the toilet for quite a few times. it was hard coz there werent really any toilets for female so we had to go the mosque(surau). luckily it was not very far.

then i realised that we were going to go back to maahad in less that an hour, ohh i felt quite sad actually. time flies~ since the teacher was not there, the two scouts realised that we were bored so they turned to us and we did some discussion like sharing power sessions. found out earlier that the one who always fought with farhah is actually a debater like me and azri asyraf trained their school so we talked quite a lot about debate too. i cant deny the fact that they really did a good job by taking care of us (please dont take it as a negative way) and  we were grateful. if not, i think we would be just like abandoned and didnt know what to do and how to handle with the situations.

the two scouts: "my name is haris" "i'm haikal" ok, lets see if we meet again. if you guys are reading this, thank you very much for your cooperation. "goodluck in your life!" insyaAllah. thank you, for the experiences given here. i learned quite a lot of thing.

happy + sad + dont know what to feel

moral stories to hamidianz, to tell you the truth even though SASER is not an agama school, the tarbiyah there was not too bad as well. i can tell you the amount of people going to solat dhuha during recess time there was more than in maahad. the zikr was also being played proudly although there were quite some non-muslims. we just said "thank you, teacher" when a class ended but they got "pray for us, teacher. forgive us teacher" and lots more for each class. and the best is they read tasbih kafarah and surah al-asr everytime a period ended. and they were incredibly good in academics. the number one for spm for years. yet they were very humble i can tell you.

but im still proud of maahad. the tarbiyah here is better. and.. i can still see girls! :)
