| University - Friends - Relevance? |
My university life was a hell of a roller coaster ride. Despite being absolutely free on weekends and at night [unless when a bunch of assignments suddenly fell down from the sky on the eleventh hour (this attitude of mine still haven't changed since secondary)].
I have absolutely no idea what I learned in class, honestly, (well, most of the time). I would blame my eyesight for that; although I am wearing spectacles, yet I still can't see what's written under my nose (exaggerate, obviously).
When I first got my UPU result, I was shocked because I did not even apply for this course and I had to think deeply whether I did even put this university as one of my choices (apparently I did, as the eleventh out of the twelve choices T_T)
"I don't even know what I'll do if I enrol in this course", I thought back then.
But the course itself proved me wrong, I know what this will lead to after a lot of Google-ing and consulting with my family and friends. I gained motivation to pursue my studies in this course but the only thing I lack was a friend. "HOW COULD I NOT EVEN HAVE A SINGLE FRIEND I KNEW WHO GOT THE SAME UNIVERSITY AS ME?" It was like a deja-vu, the feeling came on hitting me like when I got my PLKN 'invitation', 'congratulatory result' *eyes rolling 360 degrees*. I know I should be grateful and proud because there are some of my friends who did not get a place in IPTA. I do feel sorry for them and I realised that it was all about luck (and rezeki) that matters.
Soon after, I found out that I actually got a friend who got the same university and the same course as mine! Me, being myself, as I can't live without a person I know, contacted him (wait, I mean who would actually let the chance of dragging a friend of yours through hell together with you? *smirks* I mean that's what friends are for, right? :D ) and persuaded him to enrol into this course together. I was quite worried and almost lost hope when he said that he might considered for an IPTS T_T, but luck was on my side once again and he finally decided to pursue his studies on the same track as mine, hoyeahh!

Celebrated merdeka day at KK's house, family and neighbourhood gathering, reminiscing old photos, captured new family photos, farewell, sad stuff, fireworks, packing and dozed off in worries of tomorrow.
-----1st Sptember 2014-----
The day has come. The beginning of a plot-twist of my life. Packing finale and wallaaa~ I'm in Johore. LUCK was on my side again, my room mates were all in the same course as mine. This semester woudn't get any better. Everyone was the same age as mine, and I hope everyone could get along well. I WAS SUCH A LONER BACK THEN, and I craved desperately for a friend and my first female friend was a girl who her bed was the closest to mine. 'She seemed like a decent girl', said my judgemental self as we were shaking hands, after her mother told us (my mother, grandaunt and I) that her father had left this world when she was fourteen. I felt sorry and pity for her and that statement had made me burst into tears (secretly) when I bid my dad goodbye as he wanted to wait for my mum and grandaunt in the car while they helped me settled in my room. I was too busy dressing up and preparing myself for the event they planned for the orientation that I did not send them off properly. On the bright side, I managed to get distracted from spilling more beads of tears like I did at matriculation (muhahahahahaha, that was embarrassing. I did not even shed a single tear when they send me off for PLKN pfttt *eyes rolling*).
So, the one and only female friend I had was my room mate and although she had a schoolmate who clings to her every now and then, I still cling to her like a lost child with wide puppy eyes. I did met some new friends who was supposed to be in the same class as me. They even walk around together and even have meals together but me, being myself, chose my room mate over my new friends because I thought that I should nurture this friendship because we are room mates so it is easier for us to see each other (are you kidding me, I see you almost every single hour of the day, not that I did not like it but uhh.. you'll see why).
I really appreciate this friend of mine a lot because she is not selfish with informations. Without her, I would be lost in many aspects; how to buy books from seniors, availability and alternative courses, events and clubs.
Unfortunately, every good thing must have it's consequences.
As days and weeks passed by, an incident occurred which involved in members' participation in a group work.
I saw her leaving the room with her laptop and some books and she told my other room mates (except me) that she was going to sleep at her friend's room to do some work. The next day, after I had finished my class in the morning, as I was walking back to my room, I met her on the road and asked her where she was going, and she said that she was off to do some assignments. As I was back in my room, I switched on the laptop to start off with the video assignment that we had to do. Little did I know that my friend had went off with her friend to do the video assignment that we were supposed to do WITHOUT TELLING ME. I mean, I was FREE the entire night! Probably I was watching some random videos or Attack On Titans anime at that moment. I thought that we, room mates, should have an advantage on communication but no, I was wrongly proved.
Honestly, I had to say it was partly my fault because I did not participate in the Whatsapp conversation they had but so was her!! Her phone was disabled at that time, I understood her situation, but how can she knew what was going on but not me and the other group members. The worst thing was they said that they had nearly done the video without our help (which of course I felt bad because I did not contributed any) but no -_- I was being lied. Again. They were nowhere near done and I had to complete half of the video which was supposed to be done by me and another friend but she was off busy with her Japanese quiz whatsoever, and so I had to do it all by myself and I did that in a mere couple of hours -_-
That was when I realised that being the victim of the truth was painful, and I despise liars.
To Be Continued...
