All about KMS and me!

view dr asrama ke blok akademik

Assalamualaikum wbt…

Dah lama tak update blog sbb busy dgn final and other things…hehehe… so hari ni, I will share pasal my experiences belajar dekat Kolej Mara Seremban almost 6 months since July 2017. So, entry sebelum ni, I told that I take IB (International Baccalaureate) kat sini and this program is 2 years program under MARA and Alhamdulillah, there are a lot of things that happened dkt sini from first day I jejak kaki dekat sini sampai lah habis semester 1.

What I can say, duduk and belajar dekat KMS IS REALLY FUN!! Sumpah tak tipu…hahaha…macam I, from sekolah harian and tak pernah duduk asrama, I think KMS is really comfy for me and I jarang homesick. I homesick pun bila merajuk dengan kawan, rindu kawn skolah or nak dekat exam… Haaa, masa tu je… Ade lah jugak homesick dengan masakan dekat rumah sbb kat sini makanan every week tu kan sama je dekat DS ( dewan selera)… Nasi Ayam, Chicken Chop(my fav), fish and chip, nasi beriani and kalau lunch or dinner is ikan, mostly dieorang serve ikan keli and yes, I tak makan sangat ikan and I akan skip lunch or dinner dengan order makann luar or makan maggi. First time makan ikan keli, I rasa ok but kali kedua makan, I rasa dia punya isi tu rasa lain macam… start dari tu, I stop makan ikan keli…Kalau korang mcm I, you guys boleh bagi ikan tu dekat kawan korang yang lain sbb nanti membazir xde orng nak makan portion korang…hohoho…

Tahun ni, batch kitorang paling ramai about 250++ including students A-level and IB. IB ada 6 kelas (13.1 – 13.6) but then masa pertengahan bulan 9 kot kelas 13.4 dibubarkan sebb students kelas tu sikit which is 4 orang je. So, diorng pun gabung dengan kelas lain. A-level engineering and sains ikhtisas ada 8 kelas (18.1-18.8) Kalau korang nak tahu, number 13 and 18 dekat kelas kiteorng tu ialah number batch which are IB untuk sesi 17/19 is batch yang ke 13 and a-level 17/19 is batch 18… And maybe, next year kos IB dekat KMS ini dibubarkan and ditumpukan dekat KMB ( Kolej MARA Banting) sebab kat sana, kolej and kawasan diorang luas… And dengar2, pihak MARA nak ganti kos dekat KMS ni dengan foundation… So, it’s mean, in the future, KMS bukan tempat persediaan ke overseas dah laa…I’m not really sure pasal foundation ni sbb cikgu2 dekat sini pun masih pening dengan kos ni.

Back to my story, throughout my 6 months at KMS, banyak jugakla activity yang dianjurkan macam hari sukan, action week, sambutan kemerdekaan dan sebagainya. Yang paling best adalah action week!! That was really fun and hectic week… And guess what,my group which is TIDAL OUTLAW with pirates theme won (most) overall for action week… kiteorng stay up sampai 3am buat rehearsal persembahan and lakonan… ada yang tak tidur… group lain pun mcm tu jugak… but in Tidal Outlaw, we are really really like a REAL and BIG family yang bersama bila susah and senang. Masa nilah korang akan rapat,kenal2 dengan senior and kwn2 lain especially budak IB and a-level and create a new bond dengan diorng. Masa ni korang kene function (fx) kalau tak korang kene bash nanti…hahah gurau je… Dalam group kiteorng smua fx and bagi idea yang gila2 and gempak… God, I love them so much!!💗💓

Banyak blog lain yang cakap IB ni susah but for me, IB syllabus not that tough berbanding dengan foundation (yang syllabus kene habiskan secepat mungkin because they just have 2 semester while IB students have 4 semester). Apa yang membuatkan IB ni susah bila ada assignments and unsur2 lain macam Internal Assessment (IA), Extended Essay(EE), Theory of Knowledge(TOK) and also CAS. These things yang membuatkan kehidupan budak IB ni sangat sibuk, penat and sedikit stress(+gila). Even though, all these assignments kene siapkan and hantar ke IBO masa sem 3 nnti, but the process is really hard and stepbystep. For IA, korang kene rancang siap2 RQ(research question) for each subject except for Malay and English( this 2 subjects is written assignments(WA) ) masa sem 1. And korang kene kaji RQ korng and submit masa sem 3. Senior cakap sem 3 adalah sem yang paling paling hectic and masa ni kalau korang xnak bercakap pun, diorng akan faham.(Bukan nak takutkan korang dengan IB ye...) Nak2 kalau korang procrastinate korang punya assignments, haaa lagi lah stress sbb smua ni ade due date. Kalau tak korang akan kena detention which means, korang xleh join activity2 yang kolej anjur.

Idk anything about TOK sbb sem 3 nnti korang baru buat essay. For sem 1 ni, my TOK class just belajar je about core topic and I found that TOK class kadang2 best, kadang2 bosan. Hahaha… CAS best jugaklah… Sepanjang I dekat KMS, my club just cooking and selling foods once for two weeks.

My life dekat KMS is completely fun dengan kawan2 yang mmng supportive, classmates yang sangat2 baik and also cikgu2 dekat sini sngt best… I also proud to say that KMS is really lucky to have Sir ADHA as one of our counselor here. He’s really superb cikgu dekat sini and everybody loves him. Sir Adha is really kind and his sacrifices make us really scare to loss him.💟 Even though I tak lah rapat mana dengan Sir Adha but yaaa, he deserves to be loved. Actually I wanna say, that life dekat KMS ni, even korang sesibuk mana pun, korang akan having fun jugak.

Dekat KMS, surau kiteorang sngt2 hidup dengan pengisian setiap maghrib-isyak also selepas solat asar and subuh( baca mathurat). Dekat KMS, korang tak diwajibkan pun turun ke surau every waktu solat, but then, korang digalakkan sebb masa ni je korang ada dengan Dia selepas seharian suntuk korang habiskan masa korang untuk menuntut ilmu. Mostly students akan turun masa maghrib and isyak sbb lps waktu maghrib, akan ada ceramah, tayangan video and pengisian from IPI and YUC. Ceramah, kiteorang mmng akan jemput penceramah luar or cikgu dekat KMS.(jangan lupa bawa buku nota n biasanya penceramah akan guna kitab dekat kolej yg korang kene beli).

Tayangan video pulak, IPI akan siarkan video base on tajuk untuk hari tu and lepas satu video akan ada reflection dari beberapa student lelaki. Pengisian biasanya dibuat oleh president IPI or ahli2 nya pasal sirah, ibadah dan sebgainya. Oh yaaa,lps solat Isyak, mmng wajib akan baca surah al-Mulk or surah al-Kahfi pada khamis malam. On Friday, boys akan pergi solat jumaat while girls disarankan ke surau untuk Pro J. Macam sesi usrah dengan ahli IPI. Biasanya kalau awal2 tu, akan ada activity yang fun2, tayangan video. Tapi bila last2 sem tu, akan baca surah Ad-Dukhan sbelum solat zohor. In addition, every week on Thursday (kadangkala bertukar ke hari lain jugak), akan ada sesi usrah between maghrib-isyak. So masa hari ni, xde lah ceramah or tayangan video. Sesi usrah ni akan bergabung dengan ahli IPI(means dgn senior laa heheh).

Dalam group usrah ni, korang akan berbincng pasal satu topic or ayat al-Quran and apa yg korang dpt dari tu. Basically, tempat usrah lelaki and prempuan asing, ada yg dekat court bola jaring or kantin or dalam surau. Gilir2 lah. There is also a day yg korang pergi makan2 dengn group usrah korang. Ada yng pergi outing, ade yang mkn dekt kantin. My usrah group makan Dominos dekat court bola jaring. And that was really good and Alhamdulillah. Satu lagi, korang akan bergabung dengan bilik sebelah untuk group usrah.

You know guys, dekat KMS ade lights off. And what I heard, blok aisyah and Fatimah je yang kena, which means budk lelaki xde lights off pun. What a life… Lights off akan start dari 2.06am until 5.06am(kot). So, u guys yang nk stay up malam tu, jgan lupa bawak study lamp k. Dekat KMS, we have breakfast, tea break, lunch, dinner and also supper. But masa exam week, korang akan ada brunch yg menggantikan tea break. Biasanya, supper pnya maknn lebih berat dari tea break. I jarang turun breakfast except for weekends and biasanya DS will serve roti canai, nasi lemak, roti sardine, roti and red beans, roti and scrambled egg.

For tea break, they served kuih2 (donut, keria, karipap, cucur) or roti jala or popia. Lunch and dinner is nasi and u guys should know, if lunch acik DS serve lauk ayam, dinner must be ikan or daging. So its mean, dalam satu hari tu, tidak akan terjadi lauk for dinner and lunch sama. TAKE NOTE THIS. (thanks me later)Lunch and dinner ada fruit( watermelon, banana, apple, melon, papaya). For supper, after solat isyak, if tomorrow is weekdays, they’ll serve mee goreng, kue teow sup, mee teow, and if tomorrow is weekends, diorng akan bg roti masa dinner tu.

Dekat sini ada koop also dobi. Dobi is free sbb masa awal sem tu fee for dobi is including dalam yuran. Except for drying, just Rm3 n u must buy the coupon at koop. Remember, not every day is your dobi day. Masa awal2 I adelah guna coupon dobi for a couple of time…hohoho… Koop ada mcm2 dari maggi ke Samyang. Dari sabun mandi ke sabun basuh. Dari air kotak ke air botol. Every night, akan ada two food stalls dkt depan koop and we call them as “lahuma”. Diorang jual nasi lemak, nugget and the famous food is burger…Korang kena berjimat ddk kt sini, even ada koop and lahuma je but it’s really dangerous kalau tak dikawal.

Dekat sini ada McDonalds dekat simpang luar tu. Jalan kaki, In sya Allah boleh smpai. Same goes to food truck every weekends ada dkt bangunan MARA. But this foodtruck punya food, a little bit mahal and mkann die xlah variety sngt. Penghulu Cantik also famous among students sbb boleh jalan kaki je. Kalau guna uber or grab, korang boleh pergi ke Palm Mall, Seremban Prima, Mydin, Terminal 1(bus also shopping centre), KTM, Seremban Gateway and Aeon. Sbb KMS ni, tengah2 perumahan also dekat dengan Bandar, so it’s easy to go there. Mostly, I akan outing ke Terminal 1( to buy stuff) or Palm mall ( to eat). Paling dekat korang boleh withdraw duit adalah dkt bangunn MARA. But seriously, mesin ni(Bank Islam also MEPS) sentiasa rosak and yea, u guys need to go to mall.
