It has been more than 20 years since I last left MRSM Taiping. Considered my high school. Great memories I must say. Staying in hostel is definitely different from staying at home with my parents. As much as people can say about being away when you are so young, the things I learnt in MRSM Taiping has shaped who I am today.
I must say – when I first started in MRSM Taiping, I did experienced homesickness. Years after, I can also admit that I did cried once or twice as I felt so lonely. Making new friends from different parts of Malaysia is not easy. I was not the most sociable person at that time. Months after – I managed to get myself used to it and I must say some of the best years were in the school.
The following photo shows me and my class mate. Clearly we did had fun then. Each of my friends has gone their own way, some has become doctors, some making millions out of the O&G sector, some still in university trying to get their doctorate. Heck – that’s life.
The photo below shows me and my home room-mates. Home room is a system that was adopted to create a sense of family. Each home room has 5-6 students. As I recalled my home room is Zamrud D. This is one of the few photos. Do I look happy? Yes I did…
Couple of weeks ago, I did visit my school, it has changed… a lot.
I wish I’ve taken more photos when I was in school – but I guess it is what it is.. 🙂
