Extraordinary.: Matriculation 16/17 : Registration and Events

Assalamualaikum and holla! Okay, I know, I know.. It's a super late post again but what can I do? I write only when I have the mood to, to ensure I actually write the content of my heart hehehe

Batch 18/19 dahpun masuk matrik, which means memang post ni dah tak berapa berguna(?) untuk rujukan batch '00 but whatever, kalau ada yang still curious then Google and found this post, you're more than welcome to read.

Let me tell you about my journey, cause I think you can pretty much know everything basic about matriculation from hundreds of posts about it right? I myself did quite an amount of research before I even step inside my college. If you're new, you might wanna know this, at least I think so LOL. I'm officially an ex-student of Penang Matriculation College, PMC for short. Hohoho who am I kidding? Kolej Matrikulasi Pulau Pinang or KMPP lah orang selalu panggil.

I'm in the one year programme, sains modul 1; code H (which consist of Biology, Physics(ughh) and Chemistry). Orang selalu cakap yang budak modul 1 ni pandai pandai and nerd. Well I'm the complete opposite, which is why I always think that I don't belong there. Like I'm somehow mistaken for someone else. I RARELY STUDY SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL KOT. PNGK pun 3.43 sahaja. Cukup makan hahaha

I got offers from various private universities but I'm from a very sederhana kind of family, so I rather not burden them with the finance that was phew, sesak nafas tengok tau hahaha. UPU pulak, I can't apply for asasi sains sebab Chemistry C+ sahaja. So diploma sains UiTM menjadi pilihan pertama. Eh, dapat pulak hahaha. But although I'm quite a slow learner, I pilih matrik yang orang cakap macam neraka tu sebab my father tak berapa berkenan dengan diploma. Dia tau anak dia suka main kot hahaha nnt pointer tahpape jer.

So, bersedialah saya dengan angkatan barangan merah jambu ke KMPP second day of Ramadhan. Orientasi bulan puasa tau. 2 minggu lagi. Tabah jelah mampu. First impression, not bad la facilities okay je. Tu sebelum tengok KMP dengan KMK yang canggih hahaha tapi syukur sahaja apa yang ada.

Pink for life hehe

We changed our room's arrangement once in a while sebab bosan.

Gambar right after orientasi. H1P5 and H1P6 (Kuliah H1 Practicum 5&6). Semua still awkward hahaha

Masa awal awal tu nangis je masa berbuka. Sampai ada rasa nak keluar, taknak stay sini (okay feeling ni bertahan sampai sudah, asyik cakap nak ambik borang biru (borang keluar) tapi lastly habis jugak belajar hahaha. Mana taknya, mostly semua masuk dengan kawan, adalah geng nak berbuka, terawih sama sama. Ni sorang sorang tercampak kat KMPP. Letak first choice kononnya dekat sebab my parents nak pindah balik Kedah after they retired pastu nyesal. Masa dapat excited la kan dapat first choice tapi hahahahaha padan muka.

But come to think of it, I don't regret any single thing EXCEPT the fact that I play way wayyyyy too much, tak study like I'm supposed to, and rove beetles banyak gila (nama glamor : Charlie). So adik adik yang baca post ni, please jangan jadi macam akak ye. I either volunteered or participated in almost every event held in KMPP, and girls, IT IS THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. Seronok sangat, experience yang we might never have the chance to get involve again, Kalau tak participate sekalipun, mesti pergi tengok. For me that's the thing yang takkan lupa sampai bila bila.

KMPP actually ada banyak event, tapi banyak yang dibatalkan sebab tak cukup dana, so sad. Tapi I'm gonna talk a little bit about four of it's biggest events.

1. KAKOM and mini KAKOM - so basically, KAKOM stands for Karnival Kokurikulum Matrikulasi. Macam sports event la. KAKOM used to be peringkat kebangsaan where every matriculation college in Malaysia will join in a very huge event but mulai batch 16/17, KAKOM dibahagikan kepada dua bahagian, utara (and pantai timur) dan selatan. Mini KAKOM pulak peringkat kolej. Mini KAKOM kira jadi platform untuk pilih wakil kolej lawan KAKOM. Masa mini KAKOM, I masuk kawad mewakili negeri satu (Blok A1, B1 dan C1) and guess what? Don't guess. WE WONNNN!!! Ramai yang cakap tak adil sebab somehow negeri 1 banyak orang yang selalu kawad, including myself. But heyy, bukan kita pilih blok sendiri kan? hahaha

For KAKOM 16/17 yang bertempat di KMPP, I volunteered for two things, badminton and jemputan VVIP. Kelas bukan? hahaha ni semua pensyarah susun okay, I just isi borang sukarelawan and interview sahaja. Setiap sukarelawan memang diberi dua tugas. Tak join kawad KAKOM sebab kawad buat waktu kelas and luar KMPP so it's a no no, dah cukup tak pandai untuk skip kelas lagi. Oh ya, malam KAKOM depa ada buat wayang terbuka kat dataran. So cool tengok movie malam malam kat dataran hahaha

All prepared for Insidious 2 hahaha

If you guys are wondering what that weird thing is, its a finger. Thanks awak yang tolong ambik gambar XD

2. MEMORI - hah MEMORI ni pulak stands for Minggu Evolusi Minda Optimis Remaja Islam. Basically, event ni more to usaha dakwah yang diusahakan An Nur Commitee or ANC (geng surau la senang since surau kami nama An Nur) and Jabatan Perwakilan Pelajar or JPP. There is an expo where a lot of entrepreneur dari luar join, ada pertandingan Ikon Remaja Islam aka IRI yang macam program Daie tuu, ada ceramah perdana, and lots of games.

Although nama dia Remaja Islam, semua pelajar yang menganut agama lain turut digalakkan join, cause thats what it is for actually. Dakwah through daily activities. Untuk MEMORI, I volunteered for the game part, so kami buat explorace and other mini games. It's so fun to work with new people and gain new experience, trust me! Part paling best other than malam pembukaan and penutup is malam ceramah perdana, sebab penceramah best and kumpulan nasyid yang buat persembahan lepas tu suara sedap gila sumpah! Dahla semua berkerjaya hebat hebat, dentist pun ada hokay!

Acoustic band

3. Pratyaksha - Pratyaksha is an event organised by Indian Commitee in KMPP. Event paling besar for sure its show night, where there are a lot of performances that of course includes A LOT OF DANCING. Its so cool, watching Malays, Chinese, Indians and Siamese wore baju pujabi and saree to the event. Unfortunately I dont have one, but would like to buy one someday In Sha Allah. Malam event, depa bagi laduu (manisan India yang ada banyak different spices) and glow in the dark bangle. Basically, malam tu malam menari hahaha

Untuk yang ni I joined pertandingan buat Thoranam which is the one yang Indians gantung depan rumah. Depa percaya dapat elakkan penyakit masuk rumah gitulah lebih kurang. Nak tau lebih google kay hehe. And I won this one too hahaha tak sangka gila. Well, we won sebab I joined this with Yi Lin, Chun Hong, Wani and Tiviyah, geng geng hebat semua hahaha but whatever kami still dapat first prize hehe

Allahu please ignore the serabai-ness. Kadang tengok gambaq kat matrik rasa macam selekeh gila hahaha

4. Festival tanglung - Sama macam Pratyaksha, event utama still malam event, cuma yang ni Chinese Society yang anjurkan. Yang ni I join tengok je hahaha. So banyak la persembahan malam tu. using the drums. And depa ada jual tanglung jugak, yang akan digantung keliling dewan. The atmosphere was nice, nampak semangat Satu Malaysia dia tu hehehe

Other events including:

Math Shopping. Event ni kita kena buat aktiviti macam explorace untuk dapatkan 'duit' and with that money kita guna untuk beli jawapan. Aim dia adalah untuk jawab soalan Matematik untuk lengkapkan mind map. Dapat saguhati ja sebab tak pandai Maths hahaha

Maifest. Serious taktau event ni untuk apa, yang pasti I join explorace. Gambar ni one of the task, kena tangkap gambar dengan 5 orang strangers

Karnival Sains KMPP. Yang ni best, daripada students sekolah rendah sampailah pusat sains semua involve untuk buat pameran. Banyak interactive activity so memang sangat best, cumanya buat tengah sem time orang tengah sibuk dengan assignment so kurang sambutan.

Medtalk. Basically a talk from a medical student and a psychologist. Full of useful information for those who planned to enter the medical field. They're very good looking tho. Real handsome/beauty with brain.
