seremban revisited
seremban road trip & other photos…
ah, the school days. i remember, no wait, i don’t remember it clearly but it is great to be in the school although when i were at school, i badly wanted to finish school and went to university. there are many memories when i were studying in seremban at sekolah dato’ abdul razak.
last tuesday, shimi and i have some works to do at sekolah tunku muhammad in kuala pilah. at first, i suggest that we take my car but then, shit happens and we took shimi’s car and went there but of course, i had to drive all the way there. journey to kuala pilah is…erm, tiring. the roads from seremban to ulu bendol is like, berpusing-pusing like driving to cameron. felt a bit dizzy afterwards. when we arrived at kuala pilah, we were lost due to some misunderstanding but after asking the locals, we arrived at the school.
after our work are done, we agreed to visit our old school in sikamat. as some of you knew that sekolah dato’ abdul razak (sdar) has moved to a new place and the old place has been turned into sekolah menengah sains seremban (saser). we started our journey first by visiting seri menanti. i always wanted to see the istana sultan. after taking much photo there, we head to sdar. by ‘goreng’ something at the guard post, we finally got in. many of the things that describe sdar has gone like the statue in front of administration block, the trees, etc. it became…ugly. it’s sad actually.
we began our tour by visiting the musalla and then looking at the ‘fly’ route at the back. it’s been sealed tight. i guess the student there have to try hard. the canteen closed early so we had to tahan lapar. next, we look at the pavillion and the school field. they are still the same. the dormitory looks the same but have painted it with different color. after looking around there, we went to see en. halim who in my schooling days, he was my HEM. he’s still the hem here. while we were at his room, rehashing the past, we managed to promote our batch website. he he. he was kinda shock to learn that some of our 959’ers was even married. after visiting en. halim, we went to see miss hasni but she was still in a meeting. so we went to dining hall and my old room. they have tiled the dormitory floor. wow. the ‘fly’ route behind the dining hall was still there.
we went to see miss hasni afterwards. rehashing the old days, telling the stories of our batch members and telling her what are we up to nowdays. she’s also shock to learned that some of our batch members was married and some even has kids. after that, we went to megaway which now has been developed. i was told that the cendol place here has moved to somewhere else. then we went to the town. seremban is like, still the same but with some enhancement, especially terminal 1. the building beside terminal 1 is still under construction, the school area in front of kelab melayu building that they wanted to turned into a shopping complex now has turned into a big lake, there are now a karaoke box at terminal 1, wisma punca emas is still the same and hotel tong fong also looks the same. shops like shiok, high 5, popular, kodai sopan are still here.
now i remembered on my school days when i used to lepak at terminal 1 with my friends, round around seremban, by foot, go to the movies, see the ld (laser disc dude!), playing arcade games and many more. yeah, the good old days. i miss it very much. if only we could turned back the time…
