Throwback Thursday: Rahsia 25 Tahun

Hi Guys!

So today I want to share something that I've kept from the public for 25 years. I think my family members pun tak tahu cerita ni and I pernah cerita ni dekat very few people. Kisahnya bermula pada tahun 2000. I was 9 years old then and my family decided to move to Rembau maka dengan keputusan itu, I also need to pindah sekolah. I went from SJKC Chung Hwa (P) Kuala Lumpur to SK Astana Raja Rembau.

For those yang lahir before 1991 mesti tahu what is PTS, no it's not Post-Traumatic Stress! PTS is Penilaian Tahap Satu. I think my batch adalah batch last yang ada PTS and 1992 punya batch and kedepan dah dimansuhkan. So PTS ni will jimatkan masa kita dekat sekolah sebab siapa yang lulus PTS ni boleh skip satu tahun which is after darjah 3, they can terus masuk darjah 5.

Being a 9 years old masa tu and parents pula hantar je kita ke sekolah and tak tunggu pun. Eventhough it was my first day in a new school. So my guru kelas at the time tanya lah "Faiz, kamu ada ambil PTS ke?" and I was like did I? So dengan tak tahu menahu apakah itu PTS, I said yes I did took PTS" And the cikgu asked "Kamu lulus ke?" and again, I said yes! Then the cikgu cakap "oh kalau macam tu saya kena daftarkan kamu ke kelas darjah 5" So I was like okay lah apa-apa je lah kan. Then cikgu tanya lagi "Mana sijil/slip keputusan PTS kamu?" I said ada dekat rumah kot. Lepastu cikgu cakap "Okay nanti bawa datang untuk saya daftarkan kamu ke kelas darjah 5" But I didn't bring it sebab I didn't take the PTS pun.

I think the cikgu lupa sekejap pasal keputusan tu and when she remembered about it, I said I can't find the slip and what not. So dia cakap if like that dia tak dapat nak daftarkan I to kelas darjah 5 but she will transfer me to kelas no 1 after ujian penggal satu to see my results first. Yes I did masuk kelas depan selepas ujian penggal satu tu but what's the different kan? Sekolah tu pun setiap darjah ada dua kelas je. But yeah I could've lompat darjah 5 if the cikgu didnt asked for the slip and just believe my word for it.

But somehow most of the cikgu really think I'm a bright student and treat me as such, especially my English teacher, Teacher Aliah. She's very supportive and encouraging when it comes to me joining all these academic and co-curricular punya activities. But no my math teacher, I'm bad at math since I was born rasanya. Sampai sekarang tak minat math. And some of my peers pun percaya that I pandai and suka tanya-tanya pasal kerja sekolah. Padahal I'm the laziest of all and suka tiru kerja sekolah orang lain adalah.

Also I was made a pengawas sekolah just because of that. I've fallen deep into the rabbit hole at the time but I don't know, somehow benda tu jadi satu cerita yang kelakar and kind of like a canon event in my life. Sebab kan benda tu I jadi pengawas my whole school life tau tak. Sebab masa masuk sekolah menengah pun cikgu pengawas tanya siapa pernah jadi pengawas masa sekolah rendah and terpaksalah jadi pengawas sepanjang highschool.

I think I'll save cerita pengalaman I jadi pengawas masa highschool in my upcoming post. Till next time!
