MRSM di hati

Assalamualaikum.

A few days ago, I read Harian Metro. Suddenly I terbaca ruangan yang paling tengah sekali. Selalu takdenya nak terbukak ruangan tu sebab macam tak menarik. Biasanya cerita pasal sukan-sukan yang jarang orang main, hobi, kesihatan bla bla bla. Tapi hati terdetik nak bukak when I first saw the tajuk.

‘Saya nak jadi PM.’

Or something like that, yang related to the PM thingy. Tajuk tu sebenarnya tak menarik pun, tapi what I had in my mind made me read the article. Sebenarnya, bila terpandang tajuk tu serta merta teringat kat seorang kawan baik, Tengku Mohamad Saiful Amir. He really wanted to be a Perdana Menteri, he told me. And I rasa semua orang pun tahu tu adalah cita-cita dan impian dia. Paling kurang he will be somebody in the future, I guess so. (I will write about him in my future post inshaAllah)

Ku Amir

Berbalik kepada artikel yang I baca in the Harian Metro, the guy said he wanted so much to be a Perdana Menteri. Kisahnya bermula when he was a kid, beliau adalah seorang yang sangat nakal. Berpeleseran dengan kawan-kawan, merempit, curi duit dalam poket ayah kalau ketiadaan duit, and so much more things yang nakal-nakal dia buat. Masa tu he was still a small kid. Dan terus berlarutan sehinggalah beliau tingkatan 3. Waktu exam Trial PMR, beliau takdapat satu pun A so his mum decided to send him for a motivational camp dengan harapan beliau akan berubah. Beliau pergi kem tu pun, dengan penuh terpaksa.

Beliau duduk di barisan hadapan, tanpa sebarang buku nota sebagai tanda protes takmahu pergi kem tu. It was Dr Tengku Asmadi punya kem. And kemuncaknya, bila Dr Tengku Asmadi asked all the participants to write down their ambitions, beliau tulis beliau nak jadi PM. And it changed him, from that moment on. PMR sebenar, beliau dapat 7A 1B and his parents sangat tak sangka he would produce such result in just a few months. So lepas tu, he went to MRSM Beseri to continue studying and becoming a better person for a better life.

Terus I felt duh, patotla I terasa macam tertarik nak baca artikel ni. He is an ex-MRSM. ANSARA, which stands for Anak Sains MARA. And I felt so proud becoming one of the ANSARA too. Entah kenapa, hati ini sangat kuat dengan apa-apa yang berkaitan dengan MARA. I’m proud to be in MRSM, tak tergambar macamana perasaan tersebut. Ikatan antara kami semua MRSM students, juga cukup kuat, from my perception. Sehinggakan sekarang, ke mana-mana I pergi, I always care to know agak-agak ada tak budak MRSM dekat situ. Walaupun berlainan maktab, tapi bila dah nama MRSM students, rasa macam tak kekok, tak pelik, tak awkward, bila ter-ketemu. Entah kenapa.

And as a MRSM student, I always feel good for those MRSM students yang membanggakan MRSM dan juga Malaysia. Contohnya yang pergi overseas for twinning programmes, yang pergi INTEL ISEF, macam-macam lagi lah. Bangga sangat, selalu bangga walaupun bukan diri sendiri yang pergi. Bila baca paper pun, when it comes to MRSM, rasa macam tak sabar-sabar nak baca. Padahal takda kaitan dengan kita pun haha. See betapa kuatnya tarikan MRSM untuk diri I?

It’s not that I lupa diri that I was a government student before, tapi setiap kenangan di MRSM, setiap perkara yang berlaku di MRSM, menyebabkan I always feel good being a MRSM student. In MRSM, I learn how to live a life, I learn how to cope with major problems, I learn how to orgaanize things, and so many new things there. Diakui, I’m not such a brilliant student. Rasanya if I tak pergi ke MRSM, I would do a lot better in my former government school. Seriously I fikir macamtu. Tapi Allah dah tetapkan, I went for MRSM. Walaupun bukan sehebat rakan-rakan yang lain, secerdik those top students, I learnt a lot when I was in MRSM. Things that I would never learn if I kept on staying there, in my former government school. 

That’s why, MRSM and me, we would never be separated. I really wanna serve for MARA, apatah lagi MRSM, yes I do. Kerana MRSM sudah lekat di hati, forever, eternity…
