1. We're the oldest girls' school in Ipoh!. The school was founded by Reverend W E Horley in 1895, the same years as he founded the Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) Ipoh.

2. We're commonly reffered as MGS

3. Cheeky friends would name our school as Monkey Girls' School or Monkey Gorilla School. 

4. Cottage was build in 1934 and used to be the residence of the principals from the early years. This is why it is now rumuored as haunted. 

5. Our sport house system was introduced in 1930 - Cavell, Nightingale, Crosby, Victoria.

( Me - Crosby or Blue. Cavell is Red, Nightingale is Yellow, Victoria is Green. Victoria selalu kalah. Cavell selalu fight dengan Crosby...hehheheh)

6. The school was closed down in 1941 for the Japanese Army. It was later re-opened in 1945 Oct 1st.

7. We're one of the school in Ipoh that wore pinafore according to our school official colour instead of the usual light blue. Maroon was our school colour. The uniform was later standardize to follow the light blue ones around 1970s.(No more maroon for the later generation)

**but the pengawas is still wearing maroon skirt hehhhehe (during my time 1982 - 1986)

8. Our canteen is like a mini food court. Ice creams, roti canai, nasi lemak, laksa, porridge, wan tan mee, chee cheong fun, nasi ayam, thosai, curry mee, tomyam noodles, fruits, mash potatoes, snacks, kacang puteh, roti bakar, even variety off thes. Of food heaven!

**food mmg heaven sungguh laaaa....

9. Student from 80s era would still see Mak Cik Yam our legendary canteen aunty if the re-visit the alma matter.

10. Our school canteen food is cheap! One cup of soya which is the same size as kopitiams, cost only 30 cents. Laksa for 1 ringgit.

11. Our school song is the same for both Primary and Secondary school. Only the last paragraph is removed for the secondary school. 

12. "Leave the banner, Wear it onwards" is what usually some students would sing instead of the right one "Lift the banner, Bear it onwards". Are you one of them?

13. Our school song would gradually be sung faster and faster if there isn't any music companion (Naught girls)

14. Our landmark that represents our school would definitely ve the RAINTREE that has stood for almost a century.

15. For those who joined Girls' Brigade, students for non-Methodist school would had trouble understanding what Uniform Body you've joined since it is only available in 3 schools in Ipoh. ACS, MGS and Wesley.

17. We would cheer, laugh and scream hard if males teachers were choosed for certain events on stage.

22. Non-muslims students would sometimes to to the opposite Curry Mee shop to eat after school

23. We have kebun  angkat project but always don't attend. 

24. We share the school area between primary and secondary. So seeing sights of little primary girls running around our compound is completely normal. We sometimes even make friends with them. 

25. Racial isn't much of an issue here. We all mix together for 5 years (or more if you're from the same primary). This is one good thing. We learn about each other's culture and we know how to respect them.

26. Our school students are always well recognized for good English!. Be proud. OUR UTMOST FOR THE HIGHEST!.

Recently we made a trip to Ipoh to reminisce our moment while studying at MGS. We spent the time together for 2 days 1 night at one of the homestay in Ipoh (mini reunion gituk). But too bad, I was not in the picture, sbb kena balik KL awal..hehhehe...but a few of my friends got a chance to visit our old school. How I miss our 5 years at MGS.

Our Utmost for the Highest

Clover Hotel, Ipoh

Baru baru ni balik Ipoh sebab ada kenduri kahwin. Since semua adik badik balik and nak bertanggak di rumah SIL, maka kami bercadang buat tahlil untuk abah, abang, kakak, anak saudara (Afiqah) dan cucu saudara (Ammar). 

But too many people in one house...not so me la ye. Bukan tak suka duduk ramai ramai. Tapi anak anak saya lelaki semua. Nak berebut 3 bilik air....pastu bilik cuma 4 jer. So saya prefer dok hotel je. Actually hotel ni tak jauh pun dari rumah SIL. Masih lagi area Meru. If last time, bila balik Ipoh, saya stay kat Casuarina Hotel, Meru. Ni memikirkan nak tido je pun. Siang hari gi kenduri. Pastu, saya plak, ada mini reunion. Ulang alik ulang alik, hotel je la. So, pilih punya pilih punya pilih...saya booked melalui booking.com. Dapatlah Clover Hotel. 

**Ipoh dah jadi macam kampung ke2 lak....

Clover Hotel ni dekat je ngan Hotel Casuarina, Meru. Budget hotel, yang dibina diatas barisan shoplot 4 tingkat. Masih baru, kata receptionist tu baru 4 bulan dibuka kepada orang ramai. So, takyah ler expect lebih lebih ya. Bilik takde besar mana. Since saya booked triple room, maka dapatlah kami satu katil queen dan satu katil single. Bilik air just nice, tetapi sbb still new, dinding pun masih lagi lepaan simen. Cuma lantai je ada tiles. Toileteries pun tak byk. Cuma satu botol kecil shampoo dan mandian. Jangan expect ada berus gigi dan ubat gigi lak ye seperti sesetengah hotel tu. Towel cuma bath towel sahaja. 

Ada tv, electric kettle dan meja. Satu tempat sangkut baju. No fridge. No lift. Mostly lantai adalah lepaan simen sahaja. Maybe sbb masih baru. Luckily the hotel is still new. So boleh nampak akan ke baruannyer....(apa punya ayat). Tp plug byk Ada 4. Senang nak men charging handphone..hehehe

Rekemend: Boleh if you all just want to sleep. Jangan expect lebey for budget hotel. Dekat dengan kedai kedai. Mydin sangat dekat. Depan ada mcdonald, kfc. Dan juga sangat dekat dengan Dataran Amanjaya if you all nak lepak malam lama. Juga dekat dengan Movie Animation Park Studios (macam belom siap je)

To me, x byk komplen le. Sbb nak tido jer kan. Janji katil selesa, takde bau bau tak sedap. And paling best, free wifi. Laju plak tu...huhuhuh. And the location is very good. 

Autumn in My Heart Again 2016 - Day 5 (Namsan Park - Namsangol Hanok Village - Myeongdong)

30hb October 2016 (Sunday)

Hari ke 5 di Seoul. Hari ni kami menuju ke Namsan Park. Fida kata nak ke Namsan Park, tpi takmo ke Namsan Tower. Saya pulak masa ni dlm paler dok compute Namsan Park dan Namsan Tower adalah sama...mengong....hahhaa. Sabar jer lah. Boleh blurrr plak gitu. Dah tak tau nak ikut direction mana sebenarnya. If ikut kata saya, saya mahu ikut jalan melalui Namsan GH. If mengikut kata Fida, turun kat stesen Heohyen, and jalan kaki dari situ. Maka akhirnya saya decide ikut nota Fida, kami stop di stesen Heohyen dan mula mengikut signboard ke Namsan Park. 

Lalu sebelah wall ni 

Jalan lagi naik atas

Nampak dah dari jauh

Stop dulu kat sini. Penat

Pusing pusing ambik gambar sekitar

Pemandangan kat bawah

Seoul Tower dari kejauhan

Gigih acik acik ni daki bukit

Banyak batu batu kat sini

Batu memory kut

Seoul Tower dari kejauhan

Punyalah jauh.....if saya tau jalan ni jauh, saya prefer ikut jalan ke Namsan GH tu. Kami macam orang kehilangan arah dah.....jalan jalan jalan dan jalan lagi. Saya jalan jauh di depan, Fida plak jauh di belakang. Memang we took our own sweet time sungguh lah. Jalan jalan ikut suka hati. Konon saya macam terer sangat kan...hahahha. Akhirnya kami jumpa Information Centre. Kami tanya if nak naik ke Namsan Tower tu braper lama. About 40 minutes katanya if jalan kaki. If nak naik cable car, kami kena patah balik ke belakang....hmmm....takpalah. Since org tu kata 40 minit, kami diskas balik....memang malas ler jawapnyer. So kami decide naik bas cari tempat lain. Bila tengok kat bus stop, kami boleh naik bus no 05 untuk ke Namsangol Hanok Village. Actually bus ni boleh juga ke Namsan Tower...tp ntah...mcm saya sbb dah penah pergi...so takde beria sangat nak pergi. Saya ajak Fida ke Namsangol Hanok Village. Kuasa veto tul kekkeke. 

Kami naik bus no 05, dan stop kat Namsangol Hanok Village. Dalam bus ada annoucement...so tak risau sangat. Bila turun je dari bas, kami dah nampak signboard ke Namsangol Hanok Village ni. So ikut saja signboard.

Signboard

Pertunjukan kebudayaan

Comel je budak budak ni

Terus bergendang

Dengan pakaian tradisional

Bersiap di tepi jalan

Information map

Di sini, kami cuma jalan jalan di bahagian hadapan sahaja. Saya ingat nak explore juga seluruh kawasan istana ni. Tapi daya ketahanan kaki macam tak berapa nak mampu. Maka berpuas hati ajelah kami jalan jalan di bahagian hadapan dekat ngan entrance sahaja.

Selesai di Namsangol Hanok Village, saya tak ingat kami pergi kemana....hahahhaha. Saya rasa kami pergi Itaewon untuk lunch. Kami lunch di Murre Restaurant. Saya memilih Rameyon sahaja manakala Fida ambil nasi beriani. Kemudian kami balik ke GH rasaya hahahaa.

Murree

Peberet all the time

Sampai GH, kami bersihkan diri, solat dan selesaikan apa yang patut. Saya malas nak duduk kat GH sbb rasa mcm awal je lagi. Since Fida tak mau keluar, saya bagitau dia saya keluar sorang sorang. Mati kutu gak ni, tak tau nak pergi mana. And saya decide nak pergi Namsan Tower sekali lagi, kekonon nak tengok sunset. Naik subway turun kat Myeondong. Gigih berjalan kaki sensorang melalui Pacific Hotel melepasi Namsan GH dan langsung menuju ke Namsan Cable Car Station. Lemah lutut akak dek non mendaki bukit. Termengah mengah sampai ke Station Cable Car and saya terus masuk barisan. Memang ramai orang. Bila dah nak sampai ke kaunter, tiba tiba saya rasa macam malas lak naik ke atas.. hahahahha. Saya keluar barisan dan mula menuruni jalan nak ke stesen Myeondong. Saya mula berpikir, nak guna jalan yang saya ambil masa datang, or guna jalan bersebelahan. Saya kata pada diri sendiri, why not try aje jalan sebelah. If sesat, saya boleh patah semula ke kebelakang dan ambil jalan yang mula mula. Maka berjalan lah saya sensorang...jalan dan jalan dan terus berjalan, saya terjumpa Seoul Animation Centre. Ooohh disini rupanya. Memang berada di belakang Namsan GH. Cuma jalannyer yang berbeza. Saya singgah sekejap tengok ada show untuk budak budak kat situ. Layan perasan sorang sorang, saya pun teruskan perjalanan ke Stesen Myeondong. Sebelum sampai, saya nampak signboard ke Namsan Tunnel. Tapi tak berani nak pergi sebab sorang sorang dan hari sudah hampir gelap. Jalan juga agak sunyi waktu ni.

Jumpa ni on d way turun ke bawah

Pacific Hotel dari ke jauhan. Dah dekat ngan Namsan GH

Sampai kat Myeondong, saya layan suasana disitu dengan melihat remutan manusia. Abis satu Myeondong saya jelajah. Saya perasan kat Myeondong Night Market skrang sudah banyak stall yang menjual makanan halal. Contohnyer kebab dan taiyaki. Saya jalan jalan tengok tengok sahaja. Since Fida memesan Taiyaki, saya beli beberapa untuk di bawa balik ke GH.

Taiyaki ni ada tanda halal

Dah puas pusing pusing Myeondong Night Market, saya ambil subway ke Sinsieldong balik ke GH.. Penat sungguh rasanya. Satu pengalaman  yang tak reti nak cakap bila berjalan sorang  sorang......

Autumn in My Heart Again 2016 - Day 4 (Namdaemun - Ehwa Univercity - Dongdaemun Grilled Fish)

29 October 2016 (Saturday)

Hmmm...kemana ye arini. Owwh...rasaya ke Namdaemun. Kami shopping dulu di Namdaemun. Pusing pusing cari brooch, carik accessories, cari stokin....dan suhu makin drop. Saya makin kesejukan. On the way ke Namdaemun, saya sempat rembat sehelai baju kat underground shopping centre.  Dan kami teruskan ke bangunan e-lengdang. Macam biasa, kat Bangunan E-Lengdang ni, memang ramai ler jumpa orang Malaysia. Dan 4 kali saya ke South Korea.....kali ke2, 3 dan ke 4....toksahler berangan nak senyum senyum or tegur sapa ngan orang orang kita ni. Susah nak jumpa orang mcam akak semalam tu.  Akak semalam tu (orng Pahang) sgt baik dan peramah. Sampaikan dia bagi kitaorang share pocket wifi dia masa kitaorang tgh tercari cari wifi. Bagi kat auntie ni password wifi; katanya kepada anak2 nyer. 

Masa kat Namdaemun, sempat menerai pancake kat situ. Saya suka yang dibake mcm gambar dibawah ni compare tu yang di goreng guna minyak sedikit (takde gambar..hehheheh)

One of the favourite

Setel shopping kat Namdaemun,, kami ke Ehwa Women University pula. Jalan jalan amik gambar je. Ntah apa yang menarik kat sini eh...hahhaha....Sekadar ambil gambar. Lama juga jalan jalan dalam ni and kendian kami balik. Masa balik tu hari dah mula beransur gelap sikit.

Jenuh menapak, eskalator utk naik rosak

Depan pintu masuk ke Ehwa University

Saya tak pandai ambil gambar, Jadi kebanyakan gambar gambar nampak kurang menarik. Actually, dekat Ehwa ni, sangat cantik dengan daun berwarna warni.

Masa nak balik, tiba tiba saya teringin nak makan kat Teokbboki Town, Sindang. Saja ajak Fida pergi sekali. Tapi sampai kat sini saya blurr..hahahhaa. Pastu Fida pun dah tak larat nak jalan. Kami diskas dulu, and then Fida kata dia nak balik dulu naik bas. Dia tak kisah balik sorang sorang. Saya plak....gagah juga cari kedai. Tp tu la...bila dah sensorang, otak pun jadi jem. Berdua pun kadang kadang jem. Cari cari x jumpa, saya nekad patah balik ke Dongdaemun. Turun di Dongdaemun, pikir nak makan apa. Saya jalan pusing pusing area Dongdaemun, then trus tuju ke Kedai Ikan Bakar. Actually, agak weird gak saya rasa bila berjalan sorang sorang, makan sorang sorang. Rasa macam orang asik pandang jer. Walhal takde apa pun. Saya salute sungguh pada solo traveller.  Saya ni sbb Fida tak larat nak jalan dah je. And saya plak takmo balik GH lagi sbb saya rasa masih awal. If saya pun x larat, kompem saya ikut Fida balik. Tapi it was an experience.

So makan ler saya sensorang di kedai ikan bakar tu..hehehhhe. Selesai makan, saya jalan jalan kat Dongdaemun Design Plaza.  Ada acara apa ntah kat sini. Macam pemilihan ratu cantik je...jalan jalan pusing pusing sambil lepak lepak sendirian, saya pun balik semua ke Sinseoldong Station. Memang dah tak ketahuan nak kemana.

Sampai GH, mandi manda dan tido. Esok nak ke Namsan Park...pendek tul cerita hari ni kan....sbbnyer kami lepak lama sangat kat Ehwa University tu. Sambil tengok ntah apa apa aje show yang ada. Agaknyer program mencari bakat kut. Nak shopping kat situ...memang idak ler. Shoppping takde dalam bajet list saya. Tapi try makanan Korea, memang ada hehehhhe.
