OGA Day – Part 1 « Tunku Kurshiah College

truth be told, i have A LOT to tell right now i don’t even know where to start! it was definitely a memorable day, one that we can always reminisce and put a smile on our faces. so, let us start with the report now,shall we?

firah drove me,shambie,dekinn and elly (nazliha) to seremban at 7.30 approx. yup! we got up real early that special day. after a couple of sesat-menyesat on the way to alma mater, the first thing that caught my eyes when we reached seremban was Terminal One. hahaha. lots of memories there! then we realized that Padang MPS was not there anymore. we used to performed there quite a few times right, band members? we took a short cut route to college, and started feeling butterflies in our tummies. the roundabout @ Jln Sikamat is gone and replaced with traffic lights, so no more gerai CEMPEDAK GORENG there! huhu.

upon reaching Jln Tunku Kurshiah, we were shocked by the numbers of cars parked along the road outside college compound. we were like, ‘wow, so many old girls datang sampai kena park kat luar?!‘.. but alas, “sekolah bawah” was having an event too, hence the ‘traffic’. lol. so in we went into the college gate and was greeted by a FEMALE guard with warm smile. no more “Pakcik SM”,ok?! lols. and the BATU where we took our class pictures, near principal’s house is painted in cream now, i don’t know why. sangat tak menarik..

we arrived at approximately an hour later, firah parked behind Dewan Budiman. the very first thing that we realized was the buildings behind surau. yup, there are 2 new buildings behind surau, so now we have smaller field for sport’s day and standard takings. pokok2 besar di tepi padang and beside the garzebo were all gone. sobsobsob.. anyway, as we got off the car, the percussionists were practising the college song intro beside the hall. really felt welcome even though it was just a coincidence. lol.

we registered ourselves,according to houses, @ the booth in front of block G [beside music room]. we were given a goodie bag each, with college 60 years anniversary stickers and the OGA Day itinerary. then we head to Dewan Budiman for the Wind Orchestra performance. while waiting for the performance to start, aliza,haida and ninie arrived. the seven of us really made the hall ‘macam rumah sendiri’.. juniors were ‘amazed’ i guess at how loud we were that time. haha.

after dato’ fuziah [OGA president] and the principal finished their speeches, the college wind orchestra started their performance. i think they played Disney’s songs, for more details perhaps ninie can elaborate on that. the wind orchestra will be competing in June [national level] and if they become the champion, they might be able to go overseas for the international level. the second part of the performance is of course, THE COLLEGE SONG. it was conducted by a TKC8084 if i’m not mistaken. or TKC8185. percussionists started taking their places on the stairs and the intro started. the seven of us got so excited we stood up and started singing the college song [loudly]. then the kakak-kakak followed, and so the present collegians. we were like, di manakah college spirit?! it was like a reflex, the moment we heard the percussionists with the college song intro, we immediately stood up to sing the college song. it’s always been like that, right? but not with the adik-adik in college nowadays.

well, i guess that’s all for now, i’ll continue with part two a bit later. yup, there are still A LOT of stuff to tell and to share.
