My Dearest Iskandar Zulkarnain (The Beginning)

My Dearest Sweetheart in the Green Uniform, Iskandar Zulkarnain Bin Zainal


I have practically nothing to say. My love for this guy is unspoken and can't be written (although I'm typing down some stuffs). Anyway, met this irritant back then in 1999, when the both of us were in Secondary 3 and were only 15 years old.

Met the first time in Teck Whye Camp where out of the blue he came near the girl's bunk (to look for Adik) to chill for a while. By then, we were already taking over as Specialists and at that camp, he was helping out as RP.

Actually, after that, I don't remember talking to him or getting near. The next best thing I remember was after a COC rehearsel, after we were from a camp to return rifles, we went to the nearest block behind the kedai kopi and we chill there for a while, filling each other about our individual's life. I think that's when I told him that I'm going for the December Phase Specialist Course (the last batch of the Specialists).

At that time too, I was close to a guy called Sharin and I actually flirted with him but we got to nowhere because he's such a dumbass. But I'm still close to my dear though. He helped through all my hard times with my idiotic ex(s). Spend time with me whenever I'm alone and he also liked to accompany me home although he's on his bicycle and I'm in the bus.

Anyway, just before my Specialist Course, I went to his house for the first time to prepare my mutual. He helped me with it and I'm really so damn greatful for it. And when I'm attending my Specialist Course, he became the RP again, along with Sharin. And he had so much fun bullying me , letting me be the last girl to get the foods, gave me extra maha lots of water and so on.

Whatever it is, at that time, my feelings for him were hidden and untold......

Today is the day where my house has held a small feast to 'celebrate' my sister's birthday. Anyway, in the afternoon, I'm supposed to meet my classmates but it was cancelled last minute. Therefore, I went to fetch my dearest Iskandar from work.

We then went to Town at around 3 plus in the afternoon and walk around Far East and then went home at around 5 plus. By the time we reached home, my grandama and my aunty is still there. And my aunty can be described as damn sexy man. She wore a v-neck shirt that reveals her cleavage. By around 6pm, Adik and Boy reached here and the rest of my sister's friend reached from 6 plus onwards. There are a total of 10 of them at least and all of them are guys and only one girl.

Surprisingly, some of my sister's friend is Adik's friend from ITE Dover. Never know that my sister's friend are all aged more than 20. Anyway, during the whole feast, me, my dearest Iskandar, Adik and her dearest Boy, the four of us stayed in the kitchen and do our own stuff and helped my mum do some cooking and baking. Ali also joined us as he's the type yang rilek2 nya. Then surprisingly again, Ali and Adik were actually friends from primary school. Only that Ali transfered out when he was Primary 3. Then Adik, Is and Ali were like constantly 'fighting' ovver who's going to make the pizza. Whereas Boy was standing at the stove stirring around the Sup Tulang. Everyone settled down about 30 minutes later. Adik's pizza by then when it has finished baking, only that the pizza has everything but the capsicum.

At about 9 pm, Hassan, Mat, Suzi and Zul also came to my house upon my invitation because they are going riding. After a few minutes, Kak Chacha came with her sister and her mother to send a wedding invitation card. They talked outside and only for a while then they went home. Hassan and gang pulak went out by 10 pm and a few minutes after they left, Wak Adi and family came. After they ate, me, my dear, Lily and Adik Wan went downstairs to take a stroll. We went up about half an hour later. And so they went home about 11:30 pm and around 10 minutes after they left, me and my dear also left the house to spend the night outside.

Overall, it was a very tiring day but fun also. And during the feast, I felt quite hot and very sticky.

I woke up at around 8 am and so I bathed to get ready to go out again. This time to the new big swimming pool down at Downtown East called Wild Wild Wet. I'm meeting Fizah there at BK around 11 plus. And so I reached the meeting place earlier than her although I'm actually considered late. But they reached just like 5 minutes later than us.

So me and my dear Iskandar went to buy food first since we hadn't had any breakfast and any real food since last night. But by then I couldn't eat much because stomach got wind (perut masuk angin) and the hunger period had passed. So I just took 2 bites of the Whopper Burger (w/o munching on the tomato) and half of the onion rings and guess what... I'm full!! Yeah that's me. I'll be full even with that amount of food in my stomach.

We went in at around 12 right after we finished our food. The admission fee is much more expensive than Jurong East Swimming Complex but I guess the 'special rides' here are more fun and just simply more. And it's true. Had fun on the Ular-lar, the Shiok River and the rest of the rides including the waves. And the timing for the waves there are more longer than Jurong East but the waiting is equally long. After a few rounds, me and Iskandar just relax on the relax chair and we end up sleeping under the sun but it's nice. And then there, I saw Shikin (adik Haida) with her husband. Got to know that she's married with a 3 month old son.

So we stayed there until 6 pm. That's when we finished washing up and getting dressed. After that, we went down quickly to Far East Centre and there we ate at Magic Wok. The food there is nice and is the kind that we can return and try to eat other foods. The wanton there is really nice. Maybe because I haven't eat wanton for so long or maybe it's really nice. I've to try some other places then. Anyway, after we finished eating, we went straight home and I reach home around 10 pm.

To end the day, I unpacked all my stuff and then I talked to my dearest Iskandar for a while before the both of us turn into bed very very soundly.

In the afternoon, I went to BBDC to have my last SP before my TP on Wednesday and of all bikes, I got a quite faulty bike. The r.p.m is very low and I have to open the throttle more than usual. It affects some of the course. Or maybe I should say all. Have problems moving off from the top of the slope, to maintain throttle in the 'S' and crank course, the pylon slalom and especially the e-brake. I actually skidded and the bike actually fell. Never a time it I fell ever since the 1st time I started on the e-brake course. All of that makes me lose confidence in my TP. What if I got a not-so-good bike? What if I just wobble a lot and gain points from that?

Anyway, after my practical, I went to Segar Rd, my big cousin's house to play with my niece and nephew while at the same time waiting for my boyfriend to finish working with his dad. Played with them till about 4 and then I went straight to Far East where my friends are waiting for me.

When I reach Far East, Farah, Yati, Bedah and Man was already there. Me and my Sayang sat down in front of BK to just sit down and relax and smoke. A while later, while talking about Hassan, at the same time, Hassan and Boy came and we talked for a while.

After they left, me and Sayang went to join the Farah and all. After putting down our bags, both of us went and walk around Far East because we were still waiting for another guy. In the midst of the crowd at the 3rd level, of all people that we saw, we saw my ex-boyfriend, Sudirman and his girlfriend, Milah. After walking around for a little while longer, we went back to where Farah and the rest are. And my boyfriend had a shock of his life. His cigarettes were gone and we couldn't look for it. Not even at the seat in front of BK and that was when he stressed out and didn't have the right mood to mingle around and we end up 'fighting'. After a while, we were ok and I bought him a new pack of cigarette. We went off at around 9 pm and we reach Sentosa at around 11pm.

Once there, we went to most top of the tower on the left side if we were facing the tower from the bridge. Stayed there and tell each other riddles and jokes and a few hours later, we changed our location to the benches in front of the toilet under the monorail. Started off with a game of taitee then the girls and the guys broke up and there we have girl's talk and the guy's talk. By then, I can say that I went through a tiring but fun day, in spite of the 'fight' that I had.
