The Cik Kiah or glamorously known as The CKs was established 7 years ago in 1998 originating from the interest of 10 girls with mounting intention to go travelling on their own. The original place of birth of this establishment was in University Technology PETRONAS, during which the time the land of Tronoh was ruled by the old miners (old people where they used to work as miners in the 1960s-70s) of Tronoh, Batu Gajah, Taman Maju and USM KCP. Those were the times when the land of the Metana,Etana, Propana hostels was still red due to its very recent completion of construction only days before we came in.
Its members were chosen from the group of girls previously studying in MARA College Banting, Malaysian-France Institute and PPP/ITM. Although their background were very diverse, they share one thing in common which is their dreams to continue their degree abroad shattered when the sponsors (MARA,JPA) decided to absorb their students to any one of the private but elite universities in Malaysia. Hence, starting from May 1998, the girls gradually get into the 'click' of their own which very much influenced by their original place of study.
Living in the same hostel, has got it advantages. At the initial stage, their meeting points were constrained in the toilet while doing the laundry, in the common room to watch TV or in the kitchen to cook using the magic rice cooker.
List of members (according to alphebatical order):
Ann~Cikli~Effa~Elya~Faiz~Junei~Ina~Macit~Normi~Pah
Due to the outgoing character of some of its members, the 'click' from MFI, PPP and MCB get along really well. After a little bit of organization, they drafted a plan to go travelling. The first project was to Teluk Batik, a famous lagoon (located in Lumut, Perak, West Coast of Malaysia) which was only 65 km away from Tronoh. Simple but compact planning, the budget was laid out after the itineries and logistics kicked in. 2 cars were chartered for this purpose; 1 from Ustaz Cahyono (of USM) and the other was from the canteen operator (makcik kantin). They have put their confidence to appoint Elya to drive Ustaz's car and me to drive Makcik's car.
It was during this organizing that some other group (gang) of people relates the girl's plan as such "Rombongan Cik Kiah" adapted from the famous TV drama (Rombongan Cik Kiah ke Sukan Komanwel). Since that day onwards, the 10 girls were known as CKs. Thanks to the "Tronoh Rangers" for the name so lovely, it brings good memories to us all.
Did I said"Tronoh Rangers"?... Their establishment weren't as significant as the CKs (to think about it, they are more dominant in terms of their friendship bond with each other). This group was founded by the ex-PPP/ITM male students whom each owns a motorcycle. The connection between the CKs and the Trons (Tronoh Rangers) were undeniably "close" as BIG Bros and Little Sis. Big Bro Jai, Sham, Ad, Hasly, Hai, also my batch mates Nazri (Nyet), Rizal (Eddy), Irfan, Zul... (did I miss any names? Toyak skali kan?).
Many plans were planned together after that, many ups and downs were felt together. Accidents happened (glad Hasly and Toyak recovered and is well again), some even fallen in love ( to Junei and Zul), hanging out until late at night infront of the hostel until the security have to call us off to disperse, several farewells and graduations that we gone through..how can I forget all of this?. Sigh.. where are you guys now?
