♥ 17 again on OGA Day ♥

As planned, I came back to TKC in Bukit Merbah, Seremban yesterday :) After 24 years leaving the alma matter.... huhu... yeah, I am THAT old! *sigh!*

The feeling of being in Bukit Merbah ground again is indescribable! :P This is probably the last time we'll be stepping our feet here (since TKC would probably be moving to Bandar Enstek by next year - but NOT confirmed okay! ).

It was like Déjà vu - I felt 17 all over again *bliss* :D

Feeling the familiar aura of Bukit Merbah..... ahhh... I miss this place... *sigh!*
How could I not?? Spent 5 years of my teenage life here! :P


After registration, we quickly booked seats in Dewan Sri Budiman :)

A signboard outside the hall

The stage - welcoming kakak2 (not makcik2 okay! :P) back to college - I like! ;)

Was quite early! So I was able to book a seat - depan sekali you!! :D
The early birds - from left: yours truly, IZ, Germ and Germ's daughter, Nurin.


After a while, baru nampak the rest of my batch-mates :)
Ohhh... seats were fully booked - Dewan Sri Budiman is a FULL HOUSE! So they got first class seats instead - right in front of the stage ;) Sangat2 meriah!!! I like!!


A kinda like this performance by an OGA son...
The kakak2 got so excited with the Shakira's Waka-waka song... terus naik stage ronggeng sekali... hahaha! They were all like 17 years-old girls all over again. So much fun! :D


One group photo before leaving the hall.


Outside the hall now - Posinggggg jangan tak posing :P
From left in front : IZ, Tijay, your truly, Zita, Lela and Has
Behind : Juita, Rinnie and Wewe

Met more friends outside the hall. Oohhh... screaming here and there... hugs and hugs!! :)
Today, all of us are 17 again :)

After that, everybody went separate ways. Some stayed in the hall for the aerobic session. Some off to play games like volleyball, hockey, basketball, netball, basketball, telematch, ect. Since this would probably be my last time in Bukit Merbah... I decided to make a walk down memory lane for old time sake :D First place that I must visit - Block A, Rumah Siti Zawiah!! :)

In Block A (yellow house - Siti Zawiah) lounge.... nice! Dulu tak le seceria ni... :P This was where we used to gather before house cleaning on Sundays or any special gatherings for Siti Zawiah members.

Block A! From far, I can see my old dorm - Matahari!

Matahari used to be a dorm for Yellow house first formers. I was in this dorm back in 1983. Staying in this dorm with about 31 girls (if I am not mistaken) we definitely share lots of memories here... :D

Inside Matahari now. Used to be double deckers in this dorm. Nowadays I was told this dorm was used by the 2nd or probably 3rd formers...

After reminiscing my days in Matahari, I went to the upper floor to visit dorm Dahlia - my dorm when I was in form 2 (1984) and form 3 (1985).2 years in this dorm... lagi la banyak kenangan :P

Just next to Dahlia is room AR3 :) Used to stay here when I was in form 5 (1987).I was the house secretary for Siti Zawiah you see... due to that jawatan I was holding for the house... dapat lah stay in a room - sharing with these 3 prefects - Nik Sazlina (Toh Puan now, mind you!), Juita and Aima @ Deme :) I was the only 'not-prefect' in this room :)

Signing my name in the Siti Zawiah guest book at Block A lounge :)

See... out of 5 years in TKC, I spent 4 years in block A!! :) Only during my 4th year, I got the chance to stay in Block G. Malangnya tak sempat nak visit block G semalam... tenguk dari jauh aje... huhu! Anyway, for old time sake... I am putting block G pic and the dorm that I stayed in year 1986. These pics were taken by Has early last year when her daughter registered as first former in TKC :)

Dorm Ixora - my dorm back in 1986!! :)

I think, of all the dorms I've ever stayed (AR3 excluded cause it's a room not a dorm!), Ixora was my favorite dorm! You know why? There was NO prefect room in Block G!! :D And I had a BLAST when I was staying there!! LOL!

Anyway, I was told that nowadays all the first formers are staying in Block G. Ahhh... so the tradition for the first formers staying in Matahari (Yellow house), Bougainvillea (Green house), Cannon (Blue house) and Orchid (Red house) dorms are no longer valid.... huhu! Too bad :P

Aini and her kids at the 'Lovers Lane' - the small lane between block G and Block A. It's called 'Lovers Lane' as the small lane can only fit 2 persons (lover la konon) at one time ;)

Setelah penat meronda2 TKC ground and berpeluk-pelukan with sisters that I have not met for yearss.... it was time for lunch!! So let's go to the dining hall! :) This would probably be the last time we would be eating in the dining hall!! Ahhhhh... teringat pulak zaman2 form 1 where we were supposed to serve the seniors. Pagi2 lagi dah memekak kat dining hall - "who got extra cawan???? who got extra roti???" - masih terngiang2 lagi pengalaman tu bila masuk dining hall ni tau! LOL! Those were the days.... ;)

Parts of batch 8387 who came with their family - we had to book 3 tables okay!! Tak cukup satu table!! hehee... :D

Unlike last year, this year I opt for the OGA menu and not the nasi-kawah-menu :D

Enjoying our food. Izzaty was a bit frustrated cause she wanted to try the nasi kawah menu... Next time okay?! This year, kita enjoy the delicious OGA menu ek? :)


The birthday girl - Dr Juita. Used to be my dormate in Matahari (1983), Dahlia (1985), Ixora (1986) and my roomate in AR3 in 1987.
OMG!!! Out of my 5 years in TKC... for 4 years I had to cope with you, Juita!! LOL! You still ROCK by the way! :) Love you sista *muah!*

Batch 8387 (not all in the pics) who came for the OGA Day 2011:
Sitting in front (L to R): IZ, yours truly, Tijay, Nani and Finaz'
Standing behind (L to R) : Rohaida, Fifi, Zita, Juita, Lela, Wewe, Rinnie, Noreen, Watot and Yayang.

* Ramai yang dah beransur balik... so we were not able to get a pic with everyone in it :(

After solat Zuhur at the big surau (first time saya solat di surau ini!), dengan berat hatinya... we left Bukit Merbah.

Bye-bye TKC...
You will be in our hearts always... forever and ever...... ♥
