Yesterday was one of those days where I feel like I've achieved something in my life, that my presence isn't as useless as I sometimes presume it to be.
-
Early morning, we prefects were asked to stay at the tapak perhimpunan after the usual morning assembly. We were asked to nominate three names for the KP and three names for the PKP. We were each given two pieces of paper, one pink and one blue, to fill in the names. The names I wrote were Gokull, Aiman, Munirah and Qudri.
Fateen / me
Weyh, apa nama bapak kau eh?
Kenapa? Kau tulis nama siapa?
(hides the paper she's holding) Ada lah. Bagitahu je apa nama bapak kau.
*laughs* Ahmad Zainnie
(writes on her piece of paper)
Then a few people came up to me and told me that they wrote my name, and Gokull said that when he looked left and right, the people went all 'Rabiatul, Rabiatul, Rabiatul'.
--
After that, we went into our classes. Approximately 30 minutes after, Fareisya, Shuhada and Sabrina came to 5 Ibnu Sina and called me, Barizah, Qudre and Gokz. (Pardon me for the spellings of the names, it's gonna be a remainder for ownself, should I stop by this blog again in a few years' time. I want to remind my future self of how cheeky I am at this current moment.)
They told us that we were some of the candidates chosen to be the PKP and KP, and that we were required to go to the Bengkel KH by recess.
The six guy candidates were;
1. Muhammad Aiman
2. Gokull Rau
3. Muhammad Azfar
4. Ameer Izwan
5. Syaffi Ikmal Danial
6. Muhamad Amirul
The seven candidates of the girls;
1. Rabiatul Aqillah (me~ saja menggedik tulis nama gak hiks)
2. Munirah Shalilah
3. Qudri Aina
4. Amni Saffa
5. Afiqah Rafi
6. Barizah Syahirah
7. Maisarah 'Aisyah

At the bengkel, all the other form 5s sat at the back of the class, but since I hated sitting at the back of anything, I grabbed a chair and sat next to my juniors.
We were asked to give speeches, promoting ourselves to the juniors so that they'll nominate us for the KP and PKP position.
I noticed Khairina walking outside and peeping in at us (or me, to be exact) form time to time. Aiman was called to talk first.
Aiman;
Assalamualaikum semua.
*somethingsomething*
Saya pernah menyertai perkhemahan ketua pengawas, lepastu kalau korang semua pergi kem tahun lepas, korang tahu yang saya jadi penghulu kem. Oh, dan saya juga pergi ke Sarawak pada tahun lepas bersama2 empat orang rakan untuk menyertai something kepimpinan something.
(note that those were the bits of speech that I remember. Of course, I can't remember his every word, I'm not as lifeless as that)
Gokull;
he talked about all the international camps he's ever been to, and he also said something about the Sarawak trip.
(I guess it was because of the contestation he felt at hearing Aiman bragging about all the things he participated in)
However, the one that surprised me the most was Amirul. We fought about a week before and everything turned awkward between us, and truth be told, whenever people talk about him in front of me, I'd always ask them to stop. Not because I hate him that much, but it's because I miss us being friends. I miss messing around and always getting away with it, I miss all the random things we'd talk about, I miss our craziness together, I miss everything. He was one of my best friends because he was always there for me, regardless of where we were and what time it was.
--
So anyway, he bravely talked about me, with me hearing his every word. That was something, especially after we became horrifyingly awkward to each other.
Amirul;
saya jadi pengawas sebab nak ikut kawan.
somethingsomething
saya nampak rabi dulu sangat garang, dan bila saya jadi pengawas, saya cuba nak jadi lebih garang dari dia.
Idk why that sort of touched me, perhaps it's because of the sincerity of him when he spoke about me. Idk.
Anyway,
Ameer/cikgu shahida/students
somethingsomething
Saya masuk badan pengawas ni pun sebab seseorang.
wahhhh//wooooo//siapa tu etc
lelaki ke perempuan?
(smiling) Ada lah
Ni mesti perempuan ni......
Then...
Azfar;
somethingsomething
Rabi, Aiman, eh tak, bukan Aiman, dia baru jadi pengawas tahun lepas, senior2 pengawas lelaki, ha dorang semua ni memang saya respect la etc etc.
Azfar basically rambled on and on, just like Khairunnisa'. Afterwards Qudre and I matched the pair of them together, because they'd be so cute with each other. Bahahahaha.
-
Then it was the girls' turn. I had to give my speech first. So with shaking hands, I went up front and started talking.
Rabiatul Aqillah ( saja menggedik tulis nama gak hiks) /all the juniors /some of them;
Assalamualaikum semua, nama akak Rabiatul Aqillah Binti Ahmad Zainnie. Akak dari kelas 5 Ibnu Sina.
Akak telah menjadi pengawas sejak tingkatan 2, insyaallah akak dah ada banyak pengalaman dalam bidang pengawas ni. Dari segi kepimpinan, tahun lepas akak pernah dihantar ke sebuah kem peringkat kebangsaan tanpa guru pengiring, dan akak telah dipertanggungjawabkan untuk menjaga seramai 20 orang peserta dari tingkatan 1 sehingga tingkatan 5 dari sekolah kita. Akak juga sebenarnya baru menyertai uniform bulan sabit merah ketika tingkatan 3, tetapi alhamdulillah telah dipilih untuk menjadi pengerusi sewaktu tingkatan 4 dan 5, iaitu selama dua tahun berturut2. Selain tu, siapa yang pergi jamuan tahun lepas? (some of them raised up their hands) Best tak? Best! Cuba teka siapa manager dia? Akakk!!! *smiled* Dari pencapaian pula, akak pernah menyertai sebuah kem peringkat antarabangsa di Jerman (claps loudly), dan kumpulan akak telah berjaya menjadi kumpulan terbaik sepanjang dua minggu kami berada di sana (more claps). Dan tahun ini, insyallah akak akan mewakili Malaysia ke Mauritius pada bulan enam nanti. Kat mana tu kak? Akak pun tak pasti, tapi rasanya dekat Italy. Good luck tau kak!! etc. Okay thank you (smiles). Dari segi penampilan, akak mugkin nampak garang, tapi bagi sesiapa yang pernah rapat atau kawan akak, then tahu lah yang akak ni gila-gila. gila-gila? *laughs*. Kalau ada apa2 soalan ke, ada apa2 masalah, boleh datang terus kat akak, insyaallah akak akan tolong. Sekian, terima kasih. (claps)
After my speech, I sat down and saw Khairina out of the door, giving me thumbs-up after thumbs-up with a large beam on her face. Looking at her, I knew I nailed it.
-
And then, all the other six girls gave out their speeches, they mainly talked about their experience and hopes in the prefectorial body.
--
After we're done, Gokull, Qudri, and me went to eat at the canteen because Gokull kept moaning he's hungry. We asked Barizah to let our teacher know about our coming a bit late into the class.
While eating, of course we talked about what happened in the Bnegkel KH. Gokull said my speech was convincing. Thanks, mate.
-
Then in the evening, I had to handle an ice breaking session for KPJ (kelab pencegahan jenayah). This one guy was trying to fool around with me while I was giving out instructions, and I didn't so much as glance at him. I even put on my strict face, and I guess that is why people labelled me 'garang gila'. Afterwards, I went up to meet teacher to clear up the bit of misunderstanding we had earlier. And everything unfolded itself smoothly soon after. She even thanked me for listening to all of her problems. I'm glad.
-
With all of these happening, I became very tired and fell asleep at 9 pm.
