Tired.

This is the first time we actually made through the kebangsaan level. This is the first time I actually went to a place and the students call me 'abang', looks like I'm that old. And also, this is the first time I went to a place and communicate with almost everyone in English all the time. This is the first and will be the only year they changed the venue from staying in a hotel to a 'perkampungan'.

KL Contingent consist of:

SMK Cheras - Eksplorasi Alam Kerjaya and Folio Kerjaya
SMK Cochrane - Media Maklumat
SMK Sri Bintang Selatan - Sketsa Kerjaya
SJKC Taman Connaught - Model Kerjaya & Poster Kerjaya

I made through four days of misery. Let me recap.

DAY ONE

I decided to wear a long-sleeve kemeja on that day, the victim was my Jusco-born blue kemeja. I wore a black/blue sweater also for camouflage. As I arrived at the school, they were like "Fuuyoooh abg siddiq pakai kemeja~~" (this is the first time I wore a kemeja in front of them). Even the teacher also say the exact word to me. I ignored them and proceed to finalize the Eksplorasi Alam Kerjaya team.

The bus came early: 10.30am. Me and the teachers are also wondering why the hell the bus came so early. Onboard the bus is the SMK Cochrane team with their Media Maklumat. I loaded my things to the bus and sit beside Maran at the back.

The bus was damn bumpy. This is the WORST bus I ever rode. This bus is even worst than the old Intrakota/Metrobus one. I can't even sleep on the bus. It's like a warzone, the bus was bergegar like hell, tak kira la jalan bandar, jalan kampung or the straight highway. even though the bus is going super straight on the highway, the ride is still bumpy.

When we arrived there, we were wondering why the hell we were the first state that arrived there at SMKA Pedas. It was early like what la, the SMKA students are still there, waiting for their parents to pick them. Even the school's state, Negeri Sembilan haven't came yet.

So we waited from 12.00pm. I went Solat Jumaat with the boys, we were like, trekking all over Pedas for one single masjid.

6.00pm at least half of Malaysia is there on the school. Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan haven't came yet. I went to the Dewan Makan and imagined the miserableness of the school students eating there. There are plenty of foods there, but the difference is the foods, place and their smiles are like in a penjara. I decided to only have a drink there and observe the miserableness of them trying to consume the foods.

At night we were briefed about the competition. That was so boring.

I decided to stay and sleep with the KL Contigent PRS's instead of sleeping with the Guru Pengiring. This is the first time I went to an asrama and actually sleep there. The bathroom was okay la, they dont have a shower, but they got water at least. There were two bathrooms for the whole floor there. One of them is rendered useless because the showers are not working, don't have water.

DAY TWO of miserableness

Sarapan. What? Looks like coco crunch but its not. The coco crunch was like that that were bought in bulk from a cheap kedia dua ringgit one. Luckily they served horlicks. Horlicks? I went with the yearterday's cold teh o instead and not eating.

I 'sarong' the purple (I wonder WHY PURPLE IS THE OFFICIAL COLOUR OF ALL OF THE KAUNSELING THINGS) and watched the other schools prepare for their competition. All of the competition are there on the morning except for Eksplorasi Alam Kerjaya. I called the KL EAK team and trained them for a couple of times before seeing them super tired because of yesterday's late night activity finish.

After that I went back to the dorm and sleep. All of the EAK team are super sleepy.

12.00am I woke up to inspect the KL's Media Maklumat team. They were also sleepy. I mean, everyone was sleepy. KL's one was damn nice. I think they really did alot of efforts there. After that I went to Bilik Media just to know that the Hakim is rating the Eksplorasi Alam Kerjaya's Buku Skrap. I went around and stopped at the dewan to watch some of the sketsa.

After Zohor I slept for awhile (still tired u know). 2.00pm I woke up and goes to the dewan to support the KL Sketsa Kerjaya team. Their performance was impressive. There were this one SBS girl.. ah, nevermind.

Lunch. The first time I tried their kantin pelajar's foods. The rice looks like bricks and smells laziness. The lauk was okay, but the sayur was unacceptable, looks like they cooked it 3 days before. I loooooooked at the sayur for 5 minutes and decided not to waste the food. Telan jela.

I called the EAK team and trained them again. I ran airodump-ng on my laptop and saw a couple of internets owned by the schools, maybe they bring their own APs. I spent 10 mins to read the news. Then... poof! Laptop no battery :D. Two major problems there are: I don't care if the dorm sucks or they treated us like mindless *******, but I DO care if the food sucks. One more is: the power points there are so limited. We have to take turns to charge our laptops/handphones.

By 6.00pm all of the pertandingan is over already except for Eksplorasi Alam Kerjaya. EAK is quite different from all of other pertandingan because it is 5 times harder to do. WE have to do our own research, documents, make our own buku folio with all of the trait personality and kerjaya needs and all stuffs. And lastly we have to impress the hakim by presenting our exploration there... with all those props.

8.00pm I dressed as a Guru Pembimbing and lead the KL team to the Bilik Media. There were 14 schools competing. I voted for KL and got the ninth place to present. We then sat at the Bilik Media to watch all of the best EAK teams from all around Malaysia presenting their exploration. Melaka was the fourth team to present. They were 4 students there. While they were presenting their second slide, there was a school logo. I was like, what the hell? this looks familiar. After mumbling something about aeronautics, they finally pronounced that they were from SMKA Sharifah Rodziah. Sharifah Rodziah... Sharifah... Oh yea! Sharodz!. Raihan's sekolah klasik. Immediately I sms'ed Raihan about that. I didn't expect Sharodz made it through the kebangsaan level muahhahaa. But for sure, their presentation is the best presentation ever. Even though they didn't have the opportunity to naik the plane, they were learnt alot of things there. Cockpit, stuffs, stuffs, how to do plane calculation, what is this that. They even get to ride into a real flight simulator. Their presentation was super impressive, I was like, if they won, I'll hate them.

The hakim decided that the last presentation for that night was the number 7th. We were like, Whew! Lega gila.

THIRD DAY of misery
