That’s the college official website.
It is a college in a middle of nowhere. I never fancy the college when I was a student there. I am relief when college was over and I can move on to other places.
I am wrong. I feel nostalgic when I found the 7th batch yearbook. Looking at the smiling faces of my friends and the familiar buildings.
I googled kyuem and read my super duper juniors’ blogs. The people in college had changed but not the tradition.
They still having induction week with samurai night. cultural performance, batch anniversary, endless test, trial, as level, a level exam, eco trip, bangsawan, nostalgic night, evening with topaz (hehe), sc election, fund rising, manifesto, the chess club, veritas, the great hall and I think assembly in the college was the best, The presentation always witty, funny and informative.
of course i miss wednesday’s western food, friday’s roti canai and sunday’s nasi lemak. Even the cafe’s nasi goreng kampung and neslo ais. I miss Yong taufu and putu piring at tanjung malim’s night market too! I think the most comfortable bed and pillow I had was in KYUEM.
I woke up every morning and rushed to have my morning toast, yawned at maths classes, gossiped in physics class, enjoying IELTS and thinking skills class and dreading the ICT class. I will skip classes occasionally and sleep in my room while everyone is having fun at basketball court, the expensive fields, the sport hall or the swimming pool. Having dinner with my chaletmates or the KPM clan. Watched korean/japan/hollywood/indonesian dramas and films afterwards using the chalet’s PC or conquering the TV room to watch CSI and AF. I made phone calls to ex-schoolmates and K before I went to bed and start the routine again the next day.
I will always remember KYUEM as the place where I discover blogging and travelling. I always travelled solo from tanjung malim to KL to shah alam to melaka and finally batu pahat during semester break (visiting all the people matter to me at the time). I will always treasure the happy moment I share with K, involved in 9 years on-off relationship with him and finally tonight I realized we were truly a normal loving couple when I was studying at the college.
The thing I regret the most is i don’t really try my best to fit in with everybody. Maybe I just feeling inferior and alienated being the only girl from the rural sabah.
It was 2 years fill with youthness and experiences and extraordinary talents and ideas. KYUEM will always have a special spot in my heart.
