4th year of graduation


Somehow someway, it has been 3 years since leaving Tmn SEA. I hope it has been 3 good years for all of us, and sincere congratulations to Zi Qian, Zu Wen and those whom I have lost contact with for scoring such great results in national and international exams. I could philosophize on grades and school systems deciding our lives but that’s not what this entry is for. No, this entry is celebrating the upcoming fourth year of leaving Tmn SEA.


Leave” has three general meanings in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.


The first is to depart from. We left secondary school with relief, small twitches of regret and, hopefully, joy, because five years of adolescence studying within pink buildings tend to change our colour sense into puppies instead of the labradors who would sniff out any awful clash of paint. We also had to move on because it was time to move on. Enough said.


Next, to let something remain. What we left behind was whatever effort we had put into the clubs and societies we joined, whatever scrawls on tables or walls of names and words, whatever chewing gum hardening into rock under places I don’t want to remember, whatever family or friend who had a job or remaining years of studying in Tmn SEA. Most of all, some of our teachers will remember us. And more than that, we will remember some of our teachers. A part of our young and often cynical self remains in those pink walls. When I had to collect my SPM cert in 2011, I felt like an old person climbing the stairs to the bilik guru. Like it or not, I remembered although it had been 3 years.


Finally, to let something be, eg in old English “Leave him be”. Means just letting that person sulk, no kacau-ing him. I still remember Bio lessons where our teacher taught from PowerPoint, which was no help for SPM preparation. I still remember having to line up every morning for assembly, and no tie meant you stood in the middle. How humiliating. I still remember chasing teachers for their signature during F5 to complete our CV/ resume. I still remember having to go for tuition because I wasn’t smart enough to learn in class. I still remember ESL class was a nice waste of time, particularly when a fierce henna haired guru constantly made jokes when she was supposed to teach. I still still still remember how I gradually didn’t care that my class position was often in the bottom three, never in the top ten. So much more that I don’t want to remember, but I do. And I don’t intend to leave Tmn SEA be, not with those memories. Certainly not after experiencing first hand how real education is like, that learning difficult subjects can actually be fun.


For us who are studying in Malaysia, and for us studying outside Malaysia, we should and must consider how we can *blatant advertising, prepare for it.......* change change change Malaysia in our ways of not leaving things be.


Merry Christmas and early Happy New Year to all of 5 Angsana. I would not be who I am if not for those two years with all you guys.


Thank you for those two years spent within the pink walls. :)

Angsanians Alert!

Work has been piling up lately, which explains the dormant nature of this blog. But it's time for it to erupt once again. Layout is under construction. Feel free to design a new header for us. And, to all Angsanians, post away!

Fried Egg

In the light of the previous post, do watch our very own Aaron's version of the song on Facebook.


And our group is private, so unfortunately, until he decides to post it up on Youtube, or post it up here himself, Facebook is where you should go.

Slap-Stick Scene

A memory from Tepes rehearsals:


The ‘Slap’-stick Scene

It is the scene where Ben meets his parents (Zu Wen and Wen Lian) to tell them about Mirah. The scene involves the mom slapping her son.

Wen Lian is uncertain.

She is reminded that she will go down in Angsanian history as the person who slapped Ben, and besides, it’s not like it’ll be a real slap. Whenever Wen Lian “slaps”, Ben must “turn his head” while Shu Yi “claps her hands”.

Wen Lian “slaps”, Ben “turns to the left”, Shu Yi “claps”.

It looks real. There is laughter.

Wen Lian “slaps”, Ben “turns to the left”, Shu Yi “claps”.

Looks very genuine, in fact. There is laughter.

Wen Lian “slaps, slaps, slaps”, Ben “turns to the left, right, left”, Shu Yi “claps, claps, claps”.

It gets even more hilarious when it is done multiple times.

And then...

*SLAPS*

Oops.

Freshen it Up



Let's revive this blog! To do that we have to freshen it up.

Here's how: All of us gets to write at least one post each year. And you can write anything you want, maybe you'd like to update us about what is happening in your life etc.

Zi Qian suggested that we write according to the month in which our birthdays fall on.

Let's make it work! :)

Openings

Hi guys,

Our blog should get a fresh new look, and Mirah has suggested that we have weekly contributors. I think it's a great idea to avoid lack of creative juices and posts.

So do check out our openings:

C L A S S I F I E D S :
  • Someone who would like to revamp the blog layout
  • Contributors (Weekly but fortnightly/monthly is acceptable)
Mirah, Zi Qian, Shen Yen...

If you haven't already been added to the author list, send your email over.

It's Coming Soon

The following is a post that has been under our drafts for years now, written by Shen Yen in 2009 but never published (presumably because another similar message got posted a little earlier. Thought it would be good to relive some "great" SPM memories.

Hello hello.

I can't believe it but it's true.

SPM results are coming out soon (i heARD mARCH 12) and the heart beats faster. It's all coming back again, the nervous feeling EXACTLY like PMR and (ahaha, here's to childhood trauma) UPSR.
Utterly...
Pressurizing...
Sucky..
Results..

and now? Well, even though we all will be turning 18 sometime this year, i still wanna be a kid in the soul, forever young inside. So lets approach our impending results with a naive mind but firm heart.

People, its gonna be great seeing you all on THE DAY.

Figure out FB

Hi people!

We need to find a way to get the Facebook Page to notify its members whenever someone posts on the Angsana Group Page.

Anyone can figure it out?

Thanks
