Looking at the past…(Part I)

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

On the 23th of August 2008, is the date i finally ended my studies in 3 years. Looking back in these 3 years, i finally knew which are the ones that always be with me when I’m up or when I’m down. I get to know that friends can be the ones that would stuck up for you or they might be the ones that would put you down. No matter what they are, these people are the ones that would shape what kind of person you are today.

In this three years, i have known a lot of friends from different states, district and backgrounds. Undeniably, they sure have different kind of attitude. Each of them are unique. If I have to list them out who are they, it would take a long time. Just my course mates, it’s already over 60 of them. Haven’t included those are not my course mates…but one thing for sure, I am glad to know them while I was exiled into a place that is called Sabah.

When I first reach there, everything seems strange to me, but when I start to blend in with some of the Sabahans there, everything starts to fall in the right place, (Seja, Deborah, Nelsey, Shila, Maziah). These names are the friends that I first knew when i stranded on an island called "Kolej Kediaman E". To me, they are the ones who show me what kind of people or culture they have in Sabah.  Seja is fierce but inside she loves being loved. Deborah is a person that know everything though outside she looks fresh like a green leaf. Shila…to me, she is a soft spoken person and she resembles "toufu" cause she looks soft and white. Nelsey, she is an hyperactive person and smart. Why? She can do last minute studies (aquaculture) and yet able to get good results. Most importantly, she is hardworking and able to walk a long journey to a place called "lecture class" a.k.a "the aquarium". And lastly, Maziah..sounds like a Malay name but she’s a Catholic (shocked? I felt the same the first time..). This girl makes me think of  a Malaysia hot chili which usually called "cili api". She is an out spoken person and often shows her true feeling (angry, sad or happy). Once I remembered, she is afraid or multi-legged insects (actually we both scared of it), and we ended up sitting in the middle of the floor in the living room till someone come and save us. Last but not least, each of them had their own specialist in something. Seja= Hair braiding, Deborah= Eyebrow shaping, Fashion consultant, Make up artist, Shila= Great Cook, Nelsey= Personal hygiene (you guys know what i meant), Maziah= Make up artist, Fashion consultant, hair designing (especially with buns). How would I ever will forget each of them??!!…

P/S: Part II coming up next…
