My story in SMI #1

In my 11 years in St. Michael's, the experiences are uncountable, but I really like to pen down just a few remarkable ones.......

1) the Canteen....food courts nowadays cannot beat the canteen during my time in the school.....
the kerepok lekor, the mee kari, the kacang putih, the 5 cents sambal fish cake at the nasi lemak stall and the list goes on and on.........




the current canteen in SMI

2) the fact that when we go into morning school in form 3, all students go for art lesson with the famous Mr. Timothy Chee......man..., wasn't he simply amazing....I remember the days when he used to just water paint a beautiful scenery in just 1 paintbrush..........

3) Another wonderful experience had was participating in school play in my Fourth form. It was King of Sherwood '92, the practices, the number of songs we had to memorize, the facial expressions and finally the 3 days of play.....it was a great experience that i will never ever forget......

these are just a few of the many memorable experiences I had in my Alma Mater..............Thank you my Alma Mater,

Thank you St. Michaels....

Michaelian Run 2009

Run Michaelian Run!!! Run until you cross the finish line as victory is waiting for you!!!

On Saturday, 21-2-2009 the Michaelian boys were tested for their physical and fitness ability. In the morning, they were gathered at school field. Thousands of them were eager to run.


This cross country is an annual event and the objective of the run is for their health. Being a student, they have to make their body always in good health as a good health condition makes the brain healthy.

The route of the run has never changed. Still the same route which has been used by the old boys in those days. But of course the reflection changes a bit due to the development of Kinta River. New 'WORLD FAMOUS BRIDGE" and "KINTA RIVER FRONT" are new structures along the Kinta River.




The students who have the capability to run were in front and those who do not have were left behind. Nevermind, the OLYMPIC philosophy and principle applicable for this event, "the participation is more important than becoming a champion".

The results of the Michaelian Run 2009 :-

Form 1-LA SALLE
Form 2-AUGUSTUS
Form 3-AUGUSTUS
Form 4-AUGUSTUS
Form 5-LA SALLE
Form 6-LA SALLE(boys), AUGUSTUS(girls)

Overall Champion: AUGUSTUS


The prize giving ceremony was held on the same day. The winners were given medals by the Principal, Mr. Phoon.

The Poll...A Michaelian vote

As u can see on the right panel of the blog, there is poll for various topics and subjects.
Michaelian has fulfill their democratic rights by casting a vote. Through this poll we can describe the preference and the outcome of the vote. Let us see the results:-

1. The Best House in SMI:-
La Salle


Maybe because the visitors of this blog are mostly from this blue colour house. However based on the result of the Michaelian Run this year, Augustus house was the overall champion. And probably they are the favorite to win the athletic events in the Sports Day 2009.

2. The most preference girls school:
Main Convent


Definitely this girl school is on top of the list. The Girls from this school have close connection with Michaelians as they are part of SMI students particularly when the girls from this school become form six students in SMI.

3. The most dislike boys school:
Anderson School



No comment. The vote speaks itself.

4. Place where Michaelians like to hang out:
Yik Foong


Yes. A ponteng port. A fun place where there are lots of entertainment can be found here.

5. The most dislike people in power:
Prefects


In comparison with Librarians and Monitors, they are the most hated person in school. They can be regarded as A POLICEMAN. It is understandable that they have to do their duty for the students to obey the rules and regulations. Without obedience of law there is no civilization. Do you want Michaelian to be a barbarian? Definitely not, as it will lead to chaos and disturbances in school.

6. The most remembered classmates:
Form4-5 Classmates


Different people, different opinion.

7. The event Michaelian love most:
When there is no class


Hoorayyyyy....No class and then we can rileks-rileks and tidur...ZZZZZ..and sometimes the students could nowhere to be found...LOST IN ACTION....

A Michaelian voice. A voice that reflects the true Michaelian spirit.

The event was successfully held. A game of friendship and brotherhood. A big applause for those who came for the event. The oldest person who turn out for the event is Benjamin from the batch of 1978. Invitation for the event was advertised through this blog and in the SMI Facebook group. Thank you to George (moderator of SMI Facebook Group) for his assistance.

The result of the game is not so vital or important. The objective of the game is to reunite Michaelians particularly the old boys. Some of us have not seen each other for such a long time. Through this event the seniors and juniors of SMI can recapture the memories during school days and of course it will encourage the Michaelians to keep in touch.

We had also identified some of the players who have the potential to be the players for the SMIOB futsal team. Thus, it is also a process of a recruitment of players so that they can be part of the futsal team which will once again competing in the Malaysian Alumni League Futsal Competition which will be held soon.

As few futsal games had been done in Ipoh, there is suggestion from the old boys that similar event to be held in Klang Valley as more Michaelians reside there. It is a good idea as we can spread our wings across the nation.

( The pictures of the game will be uploaded soon.)

Few others had been invited but due to other commitment they failed to turn out. It was a terrific and memorable union as we share our stories particularly during the old days when we were at school. Smile and laughter were seen on that night.
