Gen X : 1995

every generation have their own terms. We are labelled as the Gen X. Growing up disenchanted, disillusioned - mind you we are getting older ( still disenchanted and delusional ). Now we mingling with snowflakes.

come to think again, does snowflakes came from gen X or the baby boomers?


Anyway im not going to talk about snowflakes, as i need to reflect upon my generation - we too are far from perfect and always will go against the baby boomers generations. Mind you every generations have specific challenges, technologies and environments designed for them - except the same normal societal conditions ( such as getting jobs,get married, get kids, get old and die ) and surroundings.( traffic jams and such )

here is me in 1995


the time where Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam is our soundtrack.
All boys school where we behaved so bad/awkward when there are girls in front of us. Can you imagine.

1. Our discipline teacher is so pissed off with us as he said this "kelas ada Orang Dayak" - talking about stereotypes. 

2. Our hobbies consists of throwing or vandalized the school tables and chairs - this is how we deal with frustrations. That is why WWE TLC still going strong.

3. we Bullied a male trainee teacher. He came in - stood there like an oak tree,as usual we cant be bothered about his presence, he shed a tear he said "kau ingat aku ni tunggul ker?" the class went dead silent as we are shocked.....as we BOYS are not known to cry in the public - we proceeded to laughing at him.

I hope this makes him a stronger person.

4. Bakar penyapu - Imran Hamid ( sekarang jadi ahli bomba - karma )

5. an enterprising classmate wants to earn extra cash by jual kerepek - tapi his kerepek always kena curi - which eventually shared by whole class. ( Mazran )

6. Talking about bad luck - Our appointed class teacher broke his chair - courtesy of Mavin Krishnan as he traded his old chair with teacher's before he ( Alias ) entered our class.

7. We are so bad in our Prinsip Akaun subject until the teacher gave us soalan bocor untuk exam mid year  - yet everyone failed. 

8. We have a weird sado-schematic game, where we will form a circle, an unwilling, unsuspecting Victim will be pushed to the center of the circle, we will whacked the poor soul. Regular victim is Raja Konek.

This game is called "OPEN"

9. P.George's table ada graffiti "SEX IS FUN" - written in liquid paper.

10. Everytime while deep in conversation, we will be disrupted by an unofficial / impromptu WWE wrestling match. ( Sepet vs Peng Hock )

11. Mavin's table once have a bloody rat in it.

12. Dunhill is the best ciggarete in 1995. Especially after a meal consists of Mee Goreng ( yg pedas macam sial tu )

13. Our history teacher is weird. Loves to shout. Who wants to know about how the Portuguese invaded us at 12pm in the afternoon? We dont know what is PMS. 

14. As usual Everyone doesnt passed up our homework. Our English teacher is so pissed off with us, so she complained to our dicipline teacher......Everyone kena sebat.

15. Our class teacher Alias once literally begs us to be quiet.........

its normal to have public caning executions, we dont have any parents complaining in the social media.  

16. Our Pendidikan Jasmani starts from 9am until recess....its either hockey or football

17. Yes - We didnt bring books to school

18. Maths? I begged my pal ( mangkuk ) once to teach me how to read Buku Sifir in the eve of the exam. 

19. We still listen to cassettes that time

20. Our Maths and Perdagangan teacher talks to the blackboard rather to us. A powerful monologue which rivals in any Shakespearean play. 

21. fighting with school rivals - esp football and hockey matches. We will always find faults or stupid excuses to invade the pitch. yes occasionally we blocked the rival's bus exit.
The whole school discipline units are deployed which gloriously failed big time.

22. we used to make fun of all our father's real name. For example a student's name is Fendi bin Md Nor, rather than calling him Fendi, we called him Md Nor instead.Once my pal outside called him out..." Oi Md Nor, keluar la!!!" we get his father replied!! 

Only the strong will survive in this era.

21. as usual, we dont know our ambition as we are having so much time daily doing nonsense, so there is one who wants to be a Prime Minister, the class went quiet as everyone is shocked after he told the teacher, then we laughed at him.

she proceeded to ask us if we have any nicknames......she is pretty cute as i can re-call. So there is a classmate who likes to tell us fucked up tales such as aliens or whatever kidnapped him, we got bored of his antics then we christened him "Raja Konek" 

The best when Raja Konek introduce himself to the trainee female teacher.....and when she asked what is his nick name...

the whole class answered for him .............KONEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK...........

fast forward to 2018 - we turned out to be normal and honestly................

p/s - to the ones who read this, thousand of apologies as i have no time to attend any school alumni, so its best for me to visit you guys personally as most of the time we are healthy, rather than visiting you guys in the hospital or in a funeral wake.

secondly, i dont need to add you in FB as i dont need to revisit this again and again. Its like hearing a grand-dad telling the same stories for 400th time.
