Their target was to make fun of their former Senior Assistant,
Che Gu Turin on stage.
However, the Javanese blood Che Gu Turin outsmarted the
Three Stooges by making them to dance to the tempo of the
Javanese folks dance accompanying Che Gu Turin's Javanese
song whose live music was only through his hand phone.
Not to be left out, Che Gu Morazuki also joined the Three
Stooges in rendering their favourite song, Masihkah Kau Ingat

A JOURNEY OF CHE GU MORAZUKI
I was deeply honoured when I bumped into Che Gu Umar Bakhy Ghazali at the Jalan Sultanah Islamic Bank on Sunday, 25th. December when he invited me to a farewell dinner for the outgoing College Headmaster, Che Gu Morazuki Hashim to be held at Dewan Iskandar on Wednesday, 28th. December 2011. Che Gu Morazuki’s last day at College would be the last day of the year that was on 31st. December 2011. It was indeed a pity for Che Gu Morazuki or rather it was a blessing in disguise for him when he missed the implementation of the retiring age of 60 years by just a whisker.
As I was not visited by Miss Gout, I was able to attend the farewell dinner on 28th. December 2011 at the College Dewan Iskandar which commenced at 8.00 pm. Apart from Tunku Munirah from the College PIBG, I was in fact an alien among the fraternity of teachers. The farewell dinner was entertained by the College Band which was also joined by the present and former College Music Teachers. To add colours to the show, former College Band members who were now accomplished musicians joineds hands in adding flavours to the show.
The whole farewell dinner lasted more than four hours into the next morning but time flew by effortlessly. The live wires of the night were provided by the humorous antics of the three seasoned Masters of Ceremony which I fondly labeled as the Three Stooges. There were old hands at the College namely Che Gu Haji Ahmad Fauzi Mohammad, Che Gu Rosli Endut and Che Gu Ahmad Rushdan Abd. Aziz. The three of them made the night merry with full of jokes and laughter when they produced slide shows of the life of Che Gu Morazuki accompanied by their live running commentaries.
As I was glued to my seat for the whole duration without much movements, I was embedded for the next four days when Miss Gout really visited me the next day. Anticipating that the Three Stooges would pull a prank on me, I did prepare an in prompt to poem for Che Gu Morazuki if ever the Three Stooges would invite on the stage. My sixth sense proved me right when Che Gu Rosli Endut did invited me to the stage. My poem “A Journey” was in fact a manifestation of my deep appreciation for Che Gu Morazuki who has successfully helmed the journey of the College during its Centennial Years Celebration. Von voyage to Che Gu Morazuki and may Allah bless you in your future endeavours
SUATU PELAYARAN
Masa berlalu tidak dirasa,
Umur tidak menurun, tapi meningkat setiap masa,
Pejam celek, buka dan tutup mata,
Tiga hari lagi menjelanglah tahun baharu pula.
Di tahun kelahirannya, seribu sembilan ratus lima puluh tiga,
Che Gu Morazuki lah yang paling termuda,
Kini Pengetua yang sentiasa bersopan, kemas bergaya,
Pelayaran Che Gu Morazuki sudah sampai di muara,
Sudah tiba masanya untuk Che Gu Morazuki bersara,
Bersara pula tepat pada masa dan ketika,
Ketika sihat dan ketika ramai yang masih suka,
Terhadap kepimpinan dan jasanya seluas alam semesta.
Walau pun kita selalu mudah lupa,
Hanya ingat apabila bencana menimpa,
Namun Allah jua yang tidak pernah alpa,
Mencucuri rahmat yang tak terhingga,
Kepada diri Che Gu dan seluruh warga Kolej kita,
Merahmati pelayaran mengharungi badai samudera,
Pelayaran untuk melahirkan insan yang berguna kepada Negara,
Saya dan anda semua tentulah berbangga,
Bahawa pelayaran yang Che Gu Morazuki sebagai nakhoda,
Telah diiktiraf dengan anugerah berbagai rupa.
Walau pun Che Gu Morazuki sebagai Pengetua,
Bukanlah dilahirkan oleh Kolej kita,
Namun dedikasinya kepada Kolej adalah di luar prasangka,
Justru saya tabik Che Gu Morazuki dengan lapang dada,
Bahawa Che Gu lah Collegian sepenuh jiwa dan raga,
Che Gu Morazuki, selamat bersara,
Semoga sentiasa dirahmati Allah Subhanahu Wataala.
