National Service: Cikgu Irma

wargh! havent been posting a long time, considering that i sit here almost everyday, except when i went to sandakan lah.. anyway, i think it's high time for me to resume blogging NOW, before i start reading lilianchan's blog and cant stop reading. ( i already read one post, and already moved on to the next post! oops)

okay, so today, i'm thinking of writing about our facilitators aka jurulatih aka cikgu in the camp.
so i shall start with jurulatih fizikal, starting with dorm A.

dorm A: cikgu irma.
<span class=

she has a very nice name, irma nirwana. well, at least it rhymes, right? the first time i talked to her was when i was on duty during the 1st hari lawatan keluarga. my first impression on her was not THAT good (except for he nice name). not friendly, garang and what's with her PR? for quite some time i was not comfortable with her PR and how she treated others. i should probably write about what happened during the 1st hari lawatan keluarga in another post, otherwise i'll be dragging this post again.

anyway, i heard a lot of bad remarks about her, especially among the chinese wirawatis. i can say 80% of them anti her initially, i dont know about now though. all i know was that they will sulk at the mere mention of her name. then one day, i was talking to some chinese wirawatis, and i asked her she is from which dorm. she said dorm A. and i said, oh dorm cg irma, so unlucky, coz she's strict. she looked at me and said: why does everyone say that? she's okay, nice and concern. to tell you the truth, that was the 1st time i heard anything positive about her from the chinese. no doubt i was surprise.

then one day, during the AKPK talk (if i'm not mistaken), i wanted to go to the lue. knowing that i'm going back to the dorm, she asked me to call cg afni for duty. then when i came back, i told her that cg afni was asleep and she will come down shortly. to my surprise, she actually smiled and said thank you. that was the first time i saw her smile. *speechless* since that incident, she kindda changed a bit of my impression on her, more positive =)

i think i only started to get a bit closer to her during the last probably 1 month in the camp, thanks to recycle. if you were my schoolmate, you would have known that i'm into recycle, thanks to the KITS project by my dear kelab kebajikan. so the story goes like this: since she was the only person collecting aluminium can in the camp, i just simply cant help it.. i just have to send those aluminium cans to her, so that's partially how i got a bit closer to her, coz i always send stuff to her dorm.

best friends, wearing identical jubah
cg irma is very close to cg ziela. they are simply best friends, nevermind the age gap. close to the point that they wear identical clothes and shoes. it's like they made a deal. if one wears kasut PT the other will aslo wear kasut PT. if one wear the yellow jersey, the other will also wear yellow jersey. they even have the same jubah! can you imagine that? sometimes cg ziela wears cg irma's clothes (there's name on the clothes, that's why i know) i'm not exactly an observant person, but i do notice that, haha... and the thing i find most interesting about them is during PT pagi. they always do their morning exercise together, which is very distracting. though they do it at the side, but we just cant help it, we will just watch them and dont pay attention to cg ismail. sometimes it's cute and funny. you carry me, i carry you and all.

actually she's a very nice, friendly, concern and sweet lady. you just have to put in some afford to get to know her. i know she's very nice to Alpha wirawatis, giving them support and all, coz i've seen her doing it. she's so concern to the point that she forced 1 chinese wirawati to eat. 1st she watch her take the food, then watch her eat then watch her do the dishes. (this story comes from the mouth of the wirawati herself, i didnt make it up, i dont know if she made it up though, but i dont think so) some people think that she is bias, especially to the chinese. well, maybe partly true. i've heard that it's because she thinks they are not well integrated.

overall i find her very nice, probably she just have to improve a bit on her PR and watch her mouth. she have the tendency to speak with a loud voice and sometimes a bit too sarcastic. either way, i still like her. probably because i can see a parallel line between her and cg chua ^^

there was once while i was taking my dishes, cg irma and cg ziela were near by. then suddenly i heard cg irma asking cg ziela what's my name (it's not the first time, she always forgets my name). out of curiousity, i turned around and ask her why she asked for my name. then she say she wants to pinjam my phone *speechless* coz she wants to looks at my themes. how weird..

i'll remember that she and cg ziela were the 2 JLs that stayed up whole night doing our backdrop, that's one sacrifice they did for us. but i kindda feel unfair, probably coz in school, we are the ones doing the backdrop, the teachers are there to just facilitate us only. but here, they did everything for us. for that reason, i think one of the sweetest moment with her was when i helped her, cg ziela and cg reena (yna) to do the backdrop for the closing ceremony. that's one memory i'll never forget, though it's such a simple memory.

and last but not least, the million dollar memory :

it was her idea to take such a pose. "mari kita angkat dia" that's what she said
