Are these people future leaders of KMYS? Read on to find out.

Ever thought of playing 'Headmaster'? Assigned the question "If I were the headmaster, what would I change about the college?", we were supposed to search high and low for KMYSians with interesting ideas for the college. So, for the past two weeks, we scouted around for those with vision and time to spare. Some had ideas of a Malibu beach sort of college where it would always be party all night long. Some wanted a shopping haven, and others actually rooted for rigidity, the likes of a military school. So, do you think there are any potential headmasters loitering about our campus? We had the honour of questioning some potential 'wannabe-s' and this is the low-down on the ideas of our future candidates:

"No uniform! What for, bebeh? We are not working for a fast food restaurant here! While we're on it, Saturday classes brought forward to Friday afternoons are better! And oh yeah, an ATM on campus would be great..." - an enthusiastic reply by Aiza Ahmad, but an ATM? What's there to do with all that money?

"All the computers should have a disc guard to prevent virus, computer hackers and all forms of corruption towards the network system. Special awards should be given to those who contribute to the college, for example, house captains and etc. And lastly, 'jana takwa' programmes should be carried out every week... Wait, I forgot, after I've had my way, I'll resign and have Mr. Zaidi resume my duties as a principal." - a little piece of mind from a computer enthusiast, Jazree. That bit about the awards though, shall it be MTV style or Oscars style?

"Classes on Saturdays, no classes on Saturdays! Do something about the stupid internet connection, the dining hall and the cafe serves food with way too much oil, we should have freedom of bringing cars and man, the number of bees!!!" - a buzzing reply by Maya, being a little particular on the healthy diet subject, and apparently not keen on insects.

"More classes, especially on Saturdays!" - a fanatic in studying and anomalously hardworking; term: nerd.

"A substantial pay rise for History teachers, ban all Man. United shirts from college campus and more new year holidays, there must be hundreds more in the world." - anonymous teacher who refuses to be exposed. However, from all the suggestions above, no prizes will be awarded to those who can correctly guess our mysterious candidate. And no, it's not the headmaster, who by the way, has told us many times how Man. Utd. shirts should be banned from the college campus.

"Fix the basketball rim." - Well, Zack, knowing who did it, it's no wonder why.

"More trees, no classes on Saturdays, RC should be opened during weekends and 1 newspaper for each chalet." - Wan Munirah, a true environmentalist who is also keen on the current issues of the world.

"No uniform, no assembly and no childish rules, like the ones about curfews for those who go back during weekends. Hmmpphh!" - Rafiz, indignant about being treated childishly.

"A five day week and uniform." - A contrastingly terse remark from Ms. Madeleine Rozario. We support your motion for a shorter week, but uniform? Nah...

Syad : "Change the dress code, make it casual."
Shidi : "Yeah."
Syad : "Oh, and what about a track field, while we're at it, make it a grand stand for sporting events!"
Shidi : "Uhuh..."
Syad : "Shidi, what do you think?"
Shidi : "A jam studio. And a rugby pitch. Yeah."
Syad : "Hey, that's a great idea man."
Shidi : "Yeah. Uhuh." - A rather monotonous conversation between Syadidi and Shidi about what they'd change about the college. If these two were principal, KMYS can actually start hosting the SEA games, heck, maybe even the Olympics!

"Reconstruct a better field for football, spotlights should be put up so that activities can be carried out at night, One or two bowling lanes at the MPH perhaps? Hmm,why not go all the way and have a bowling alley instead? And yes, cars can bring laa..." - Azlan Helmy, voicing out his vision towards a healthy, sporty lifestyle. Are those spotlights for you to play football well into the wee hours of the morning?

"No classes on Saturdays, ATMs, permission to bring own vehicles, more vending machines, a TV with ASTRO in the cafe, own laundry machine, eradicate central laundry system, a skate park, and computers with IRC and ICQ. Phewww...." - A list of ermm, suggestions by Elina and Yidut, of how the items mentioned above would improve the standard of the college. Ermm, how does it work again?

"A wide screen TV for movies, probably a cinema-sized screen. A KMYS gift shop or a shopping mall would be nice, make it casual daily attire and a KTM station to KL would really make my day." - An honest opinion by an innominate individual. Teachers will be wondering where have all the students gone to.

"I want the dining hall to serve tea everyday." - A rather peculiar request, but a request nonetheless, for innovative ways to improve the college. Is tea some sort of brain food? It's still a wonder...

"Allow students to bring vehicle, condense college hours so that there are no afternoon classes, have an ATM machine and improve the speed of the Internet server. Yvonne says she wants a music room. What do you think?" - Jo-Han on ways to quick, substantial studying and more requests for ATMs. He seems to want everything done pretty fast, doesn't he?

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I totally agree with Jo-Han on the vehicle idea. Well, probably one vehicle per chalet. And no Saturday classes, please!" - A very agreeing Qisti expressing his thoughts on present college rules.

"I'll have to change myself first because I don't want to be the headmaster." - Jasveen's thoughts on change are certainly different from others, aren't they?

Rubin : "I don't know what I would change."
Yin Tse : "Rubin wouldn't change anything because he's too lazy to even do anything, he'd probably
only lie on the couch and watch TV all day!"
Rubin : "Oh, now I know what I'll do. I'll kick Yin Tse out first!" - The banters between Rubin and Yin Tse, though it weren't exactly what we were looking for, certainly had us in quite a stitch!

So, there you have it folks, the voices of KMYS. Do you think these people will make it in the big leagues of becoming a headmaster? You decide.

So many blessings to count,
But sorrow triumphs once more,
Tears flow when no one knows,
Muffled sobs no one notices,
But relief nowhere in sight.

Sweet, cheerful on the surface,
Just beneath… empty.

Best friends left behind,
Heart choked with loneliness,
Clinging; a burden
To the one pillar of support.

Words of advice uttered,
Comforting…for the moment.

I used to be somebody,
Everyone knew, everyone turn to,
Now just one in the shadows,
My own fault, true.

Is this how life will be?
Will time bring more change?
Change for the better?

But true friendship is formed slowly,
Drop by drop,
'Til the heart runs over.
