Just got back from KMB yesterday. I wasn't planning on going there in the first place, but a friend of mine suddenly called on tuesday evening, and I can glimpse some sense of sorrow from his voice.
"weyh, aku x lepas dowh TOK. kena accused plagiarism. ko kena tolong aku dowh! bleyh x datang umah aku esok? tlg aku bwat defense report, stay overnight, then g KMB ngn aku"
"owh, ye ke? ok2... no prob. esok aku datang!"
well, I thought he's gonna be alright. I'm sure he's a strong guy. But suddenly he uttered,
"lut. tolong cakap sket dowh kat aku. pape yg bleyh sedapkan ati. aku rasa down gler nih!"
hurm, anyone can say, "I understand ur feelings. ni smer cubaan dari tuhan etc." In a way all these advice are true. But believe me. We'll never be able to understand them, coz we've never been in their shoes.
I still remember when I bumped into Pn Rosmaria yesterday. The first sentence coming out from her mouth was,
"Please! don't blame me on this!"
The teachers are all mourning on what's happening right now. I know how they feel, esp Pn Nila. She almost shed into tears in front of me and usamah, talking about this matter. In fact, NR was taking a leave yesterday. Stress, I think.
Tapi paling tak tahan komen Pn Siti.
"Ini sumer konspirasi IBO untuk menjatuhkan KMB! mentang2 kolej kita ni hebat"
So to all my friends out there who are still overwhelmed by this TOK thingy (well, I know i could be the only one reading this), you've got friends supporting you. Friends that you've known for 2 years, or even more! Don't seclude yourself from others just because you are being accused of plagiarism, or even have been found guilty. Good/bad IB results, overseas/local uni, even iphone/blackberry/nokia 3310 would never be the barrier to differentiate us. we are even. Don't have any dust of hatred or inferior towards others who aced in their IB. Rezeki orang berbeza2. Ada yang dapat awal, ada yang dapat lambat. Mana tau yang dapat lambat tuh lagi best kan rezeki dia. ALLAH knows the best!
We are like these apples. Ada Granny Smith laa, Fuji laa, Cortland laa, apple x de jenama pn ada. tapi sumer tuh kita panggil apple. ada org kata apple hijau x sedap, tp ada gk org yg ske. sama la cam apple2 yang laen. So in our pursuit of becoming someone, we use vast variety of approaches. But in the end, everyone is becoming someone. APPLE!
To those who will be going overseas soon, our friends here are in their difficult times. We never know when is our turn to be burdened with such a huge predicament. When the time comes, only then we'll understand their actual feelings. Also, good luck in ur life overseas. Remember this, "Kalau kita tak lupa Allah, Allah takkan lupakan kita."
oh, satu lagi. Berpada-padalah dengan status facebook anda! jaga hati rakan2 laen.
