From school to school 2...SK Tunku Malek

After passing the Special Malay Class Entrance exam,I continued my study in a school which is quite a distance away from my home.
So come that auspicious first day ,I was enrolled in Sekolah Rendah Tunku Maleh,Kilang Lama.
Maka bermulalah kehidupan seorang budak perempuan yg terpinga pinga dalam kelas.The teachers spoke English in all the subjects.And the school uniform too was different.In the all girls school in Kulim,her attire was baju kedah and kain pasang.But starting today ,she got to wear a pinafore.At that time ,each school sported different school uniform,Jadi bila orang tengok uniform orang tahulah sekolah mana budak tu..
Haha..disekolah lama semua pelajar perempuan.Tapi berlainan disekolah baru.Bercampur campur .Tapi semua murid Melayu.Ya la Special Malaylah katakan.Entah apa specialnya pun tak tahu makcik.Hanya tak perlu bayar yuran bulanan.Yuran tahunan masih kena.3 ringgit kot kalau tak salah.Itu pun macam 30 ringgit tau.Buku teks kena beli sendiri.Tak merasalah beli buku baru.Setiap tahun hand me down.

Where is the second primary school you might ask..Sekolah Tunku Malek letaknya bersebelahan SBS..Sultan Badlishah School which was to become my secondary school.Hebat tau sekolah tu.Mcm premier school la ni.

I didnt remember much about SK Tunku Malek.From year 4 to year six. My teachers were from all races.Ada Cina,India dan Melayu.A few names that still rang a bell was miss Ng, Kat rumah dia cikson tak sengaja melanggar tong cat....Miss Wong sangat cikson ingati sbb dia baik dan suka bawa kami belajar luar kelas.Satu hari terlopong cikson dengaq dia bercerita ala ala big book.

Masa disekolah inilah cikson mula berminat baca buku cerita.Main sukan cikson kemereh.Masuk syarahan ke nyanyian solo ke tak pernah terpilih.Darah gemuruh kuat sangat.Sekali dua ada juga terpilih main traingle masa persembahan.Juga menari simple simple hari penyampaian hadiah.

Yg cikson ingat,cikson selalu dipuji tulisan cantik,lukisan cantik dan bahasa Inggeris terror..Yg lain lain tak ada apa apa..just plain jane.Tapi cikson rasa worse still than plain jane.Cikson pendiam sangat disekolah...Setiap masa dgn buku .

  2. Benar bagai yg Uncle kata.
    Kenangan zaman dulu mmg sangat berharga...
    Sangat suka baca sambil membayangkan bagaimana kisah jadi seorg murid sekitar tahun 60an dan 70an

    1. Akak,
      semangat belajar nak prove 'I got something' utk keluarga tinggi masa tu walau hidup serba tak cukup.Struggle belajar sendiri tanpa tuition mution .Tapi kan bila cerita kat anak anak depa buat bahan lawak saja...
