The things kids bring to school nowadays

Well, bringing illegal items to school is actually kinda fun. Here's a student's perspective:

Teacher 12 o clock. Roger that, hide the loot. Evade evade.. Danger.. The bomb has been planted... Terrorists win... GG.

Well, here is how the list of illegal items have evolved over the years:

1980: Knives were probably banned
1990: Bringing cards to school to play aka. learning statistics
2000: Keeping cigarrettes in pockets
2002: Hand phones became popular, especially those monotone ones
2004: Hair gel to spike your hair
2005: Students caught sniffing glue, gets into sticky situation
2006: Some students caught with porn CDs
2007: Student brings granade shell to school!!
2009: Ganja is the bomb.
2020?
Who knows.

Getting into trouble

Ah yes, the epitome of schooling life, what is a student life without getting into some deep water and conflict. Getting in trouble is often not our intention but given the boring nature of the monotonous classes, what proper PFS student does not get himself into some sort of trouble once in a while. Adrenaline is part of human nature and when the hunt and the fights are deviod from our daily lives, coupled with the teachers trying to get order from chaotic raging hormones,

one can only seek some respite from boredom by doing some mischief.



Some people do get caught. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some mischievious acts are actually kind of humorous when you come to think about it. There are SOOO MANY ways one can get into trouble. Let me just list down a few!



1) Eating in class

As you all know, eating in class is prohibited. It attracts flies, ants, rodents and cockroaches.

Must be why there were rats in class! But that doesn't stop my peers from chewing a lil bite when the teacher has his back turned. The funniest was when a teacher caught a guy eating. He saw him chewing and asked him to open his mouth. There was nothing there!!! With no evidence, he was left with a grin.



2) Bringing handphone to school

What was once a want is now a need. I cant list down anyone in my age group without a mobile number save a mobile phone. More than that, school is such a good place to have a mobile phone especially when times are varying and unpredictable. At one time, my phone bill was more than my dad's! Even better, I know a girl whos phone bill reaches like RM 1000 a few years ago when she was in form 4!


Obviously, the discipline teacher's room is filled with a bunch of phones confiscated from the students, usually from spot checks.

3) Making fun of other students

Yes, making fun of other students can land you into trouble. Both of you. So if you wanna get into some trouble, and also get the other person into trouble, just start making fun of him. 100% guarantee to get the both of you into the discipline room. Might also get you to the HM if you are lucky!

4) Ponteng kelas (Skipping class)

Ever wondered what the half inch rotans were ment for? Some say they are for truancy. In fact, many students have felt the stokes for attempting to skip class. Noobs. 1st rule of skipping class is don't get caught! Second rule is make sure that a teacher knows! Yes, the teacher should know that you are going out of school. Funny enough, there was one time a discipline teacher caught two students with their bags heading out of school. He asked the boys, "Come here". They complied. "Any CDs? Any cigarattes?" "No?" "Okay go." -.-

5) Bringing and exchanging Porno CDs and DVDs

So far the award for most humourous act of mischief is getting caught exchanging blue CDs with fellow students. This was in 2005 when I was a final year student. A form 2 student (You know who you are!) was caught exchanging very educational CDs (Sex education is in form 3 - maybe hes a very forward student).

The fact that this is happening in school means that the life of people and their aspirations are starting to dwindle. Nonetheless, it deserves one last laugh cause did he get into trouble!

Admittedly, i just got into some trouble myself in the 3rd year of uni! weee....

However wrong something we did was, usually, it is not the end of the world. We learn from our mistakes and hopefully, make ourselves better people. Life goes on.



Good luck and all the best with all Frees out there!

Lompat Pagar

Lompat Pagar is Malay for Jumping the Fence. In literal meaning, cutting class by jumping over the school fence. As in every other proper boy school, what disciplinary rules will not be complete without one the rules on skipping class. As far as I am aware, I am not! I haven't been informed about the school's policy on cutting classes.

Well, in your student life, you should have friends or yourself at somepoint, explored the art of cutting class. Here are a few methods in which I know of cutting class in PFS!

1. The basket ball court. The basket ball court is located such that a hole in the fence leads directly out of the school. Just make sure that no ones watching!
2. The KH blocks are have fences which lead out of the school into the carpark opposite McDonalds.The cover and the secluded nature of the area makes it favourite. Just get a tall chair and you are out of the school!
3. Hostel. The hostel has a backdoor which leads to the housing estates behind. The doors are usually locked during school hours but a short climb over the walls make a fast escape.
4. When you get a car, do like I did. I drove a car full of students in uniform out of the school as the Headmaster watched as we sped off out the main gate. (I can't say I was proud. Must have been a good reason why.)
5. The other small gates. Usually these gates are locked during school hours but near the last few periods, like 1 hour before classes end, the gates will be open. What better way to get out than the same way you came in!

Word of caution: You may get caught!

Warden's Room

The lone ranger walks the empty halls. Pin drop silence as the cool breeze blows. High in his tower, he observes the rest of the school world go past. Sounds like a cowboy life no? As you all know, PFS has its very own dedicated team of school wardens.

Okay, here is the definition of warden on Princeton.net Dictionary:

Noun
S: (n) warden (the chief official in charge of a prison)

Indeed, every year the school has a head prison guard, erm i mean prison warden, erm i mean school warden.

Verdict? Guilty as charged! Indeed, we are/were all stuck in a prison it seemed, a prison for the mind for 11 to 13 years of our youth. However, i digress and this post is about the wardens, so lets get to the jist of it.

The Perks?
1.Wardens get to wear white pants! Kewl
2.They have their own room right in the canteen. Privacy!
3.Get to wear a fancy badge which is really blue!
4.Escape Monday assemblies! All you always wanted.
5.Get an excuse to enter class late!

What does a warden do?
1.Substitute for no entry signs
2.Clears and fills the "prison cells" aka classes
3.Help clear the canteen of plates and cups!
4.Help other students keep restricted items in their room!

The Wardens' Room
One can't help but wonder,why the secrecy in all the rooms? One of the most highly off limits room is the Warden's room. Enter the Dragon's den at your own risk, even if wardens look more timid than the prefects, some due consideration should be given before infiltrating their war room, including the prospect of having a chair thrown at you.

Someone tell me what is in the warden's room cause i have always wanted to know!

Discipline Room

Ah yes.. This is where the bad boys hang out.

Grooming Services

Discipline teaches offer barber service. The year before I left, the school implemented a crew cut for all students. Was really amused when I went back to see all the juniors in short hair! Managed to escape that policy. The funniest things is when the discipline teachers cut one side of your fringe and leave the other side uncut!! I remember the days when the teacher or the prefect would come up to you and measure your hair. During my time, it must not touch the eye brows.

The Discpline Room also offers nail clippers for those who are caught with nails longer than 2mm??!! Yes.. there is a guide book that states this rule!

Since the ban of public caning, there has been drop of caning altogether. The canes in the Discipline room range from huge to this, meant to give different effects. Contrary to polular belief, the small canes sting more then the big canes. Physics 101: More surface area = less pressure!
