This is done in accordance to Daniel’s recommendation. -.-“

The bunch of people who made my life so enjoyable for the past 2 months and a half:

Alda, Chai kee, Jia min, Benson, Kah jui, Shawn, Adrian, Khim, Manfred, Hong xiang, Wei kai, Daniel, Stanley, Hidayat, Imran, Eugene, Wei min, Kenny.
Wa lao, I think I kena jinxed already. This year seow one. My 2 and a half months in that millennia institute with a bunch of clowns was damn memorable. All seow one. Where I met friends I knew I was gonna keep for a long time. Where I met that damn joker Imran. Where the rest of our friends exploited his disability to pronounce r from w. lol. Waise the woof man Imwan.

And then came goodbyes, no tears were shed. And it was then that I found out that Imran had applied for the same course as I. So we said that we’d meet again soon. And we did.
It was April 2nd when we met up again for the freshmen orientation camp organized by ngee ann student union blah blah blah. And it was damn heng… Somehow, we ended up being in the same og. Dagonet oei!!! And it was there that I noticed this small botak kid sitting across me in a circle that the whole og made. We were playing whacko damn it. So heng I never kena. Anyway, this botak boy was Daniel. And it was during this camp that we shared many experiences. The gay thing he had for some people, which we all completely misunderstood, to the water bomb games, to the dagonet skit at the end of the camp fire. And so it was, I had met 2 of my future classmates. These 2 would be one of the dearest to me but I didn’t see it coming at that time yet. And Imran, it’ll be quite some time before I forget that sleepless night. The night where we played that gilla game of Indian poker. Ah ah ah!!! Ahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
And so 1 week passed and school had begun. Where I met up with the 2 of them, and suddenly like so heng hor, we ended up being in the same class. Where I wasn’t quite myself. Where I felt like the shy boy I was long ago. Cuz of certain events that took place during my time in millennia institute. Where my confidence, I felt, was on the brink of destruction. But I’m not gonna go into that.
And so I thought that I might come off to you guys as a little anti-social. BUT.
YOU GUYS ARE SO FRIENDLY man, it didn’t take long before I came out of my shell. The burden which I’ve been carrying. The burden that made me seem like an idiot. So I thought to myself, hey! I can start over again! And I did. I became the joker and fool that many would have grown accustomed to.
The only part of me that I brought along into this new world was my love for mnms and hello pandas.
And it was during the freshmen orientation program that I got to know all of you a little better. YOU GUYS ARE SEOW LA!!! During the tele match you all were like screaming your lungs out!! Who cares if we didn’t win! We rocked so hard that we rule and they drool! Wheee!
And in my days of fooling around, I decided to kak cheow a lonely looking boy, one whom I noticed sitting all by himself with no one to talk to in construction tech class. His name was Stanley. Si bei emo. I thought he was like on the verge of suicide you know!! Wa lao eh!! Ya so anyway, his emo and my jokes became something of a lame combi, where I anyhow make jokes and he will suddenly start laughing.
Ya so anyway, I met this guy that’s got the ‘I’m cool! Wheee!’ face, Hidayat. Damn funny sia he. Never study still can get so good academics. Freak! I wish I could be like that too! Ha! So its like he’s always saying stuff like. Not canteen 3 again la! Who want go np co-op with me? Today is ps day. Why our class no brain one, always following Imran! Wheeee! Yay!
Ok wadeva. And so I met this peculiar guy whom every one, I felt, thought was a chao ah beng. Damn scary face. The hair also damn scary. Then hor, after awhile, once I start to talk to him, its like. Always telling me stupid lame crap nonsense rubbish idiotic jokes. Lalalala!!! I still remember the shen chu yuan shou / siao ding dang joke. Like what the hell man! That’s gotta be the lamest shit I’ve ever heard in my life. Ya la, it’s the golden monkey!! XD
And I met this group of people who shared the same love of char kway teow with me. That was like the most unhealthy period of my life lor. Almost every few days we’d eat that crap. And it was so so fun to eat together that I totally neglected the health risks I was taking. Like that also can. Haha I’d miss the char kway teow eating frenzies that we shared. And hor, it’ll be quite some time before I forget the ‘hong dou bing’ is not equals to ‘hong dou nai bing’ saga.
Wei kai, I promise you that when I come back, you will never have to chance to say ‘ni kan! Bian liao lor!!! Yi qian bu shi ze yang de!!’
And as I let myself loose, I found a friend in each and every one of the e01s. Friends which I wished I had gotten to know better.
But just as I was getting started, I noticed a rift. A rift so subtle that only idiots couldn’t notice. We were breaking up into our own small little cliques. It happened. The once sibei united class had been reduced to 4 groups. Those with Imran, those with Manfred, those with kah jui, those I’ve been around with.
Well, I’ve hung around Daniel, Hong xiang, Wei kai, Kenny, Stanley, Wei min for majority of my time in np. I’d neglected the damned joker Imran for people I’d lost myself to.
So in a desperate bid, I attempted something I never thought I would do, to bridge the spaces between us. I decided to hang out with Imran’s group. And the most unlikely character I’d rediscovered was the crappy and nerdy so-called know it all Chai kee and the all so direct about sex with nothing to hide Alda. And crap we did. We spoke the native tongues of gibberish and found pleasure in that. Wadeva la, it was fun.
Kenny was like a kor to me, he was reserved at times, spoke little of nonsense and seemed focus on his work…. YEAH RIGHT!!! Whole day only know how to crap!! Even when he’s crapping, he show his ‘I’m not crapping’ face. Lol lol lol!! Then again hor, its probably this quiet reserved attitude that gained the interest and approval of mr kwan. He tried to share his love for Japanese rock with the class. But some couldn’t tahan. Luckily I liked some of his songs. Otherwise ah! Heh heh heh!!! =) Sharing the same bus sometimes when he felt like it. Otherwise he chiong with his zha bor peng yao. -__-“ Ya, wish you all the best in your relationship with her.
Daniel, he grew. He grew to become the guy that everyone pokes fun at but no one’s ever serious about the jokes. He grew his hair. He didn’t grow his vocabulary of hokkien words. It still is knnbccb. Or something along the lines of that. He showcased his sexy voice to a hand full of jokers one night on msn. I had begun to understand him more. We talked talks. We chionged canoeing even when no one else would. Wa lao eh. Cannot tahan, I can’t believe I’m actually typing this. Don’t get me wrong ah, I’m not emo la!
Shawn and kah jui are like the perfect clowns when they wanna be. They’re nonsensical experiences never fail to capture the interest of our class. And Shawn was in the same sports program as Imran and I. We joined soccer. Whoa shit man, I just remembered the time when Imran scored the sibei kayu own goal! LOL!! Ya so anyway, it was cool to get to interact with Shawn more. His foot skills are awesome. Like it never fails to amaze everyone who bothers to look. Then hor, I gotta say. QUIT SMOKING MAN!!! My ah gong is diagnosed with cancer cuz he smoked and I don’t wanna see you end up like that. Aiya, its still up to you.=) And this also applies to Khim and Manfred ah!!!!! And Shawn!! I think that you’re really gonna go deaf one day man!! But the again, Beethoven was deaf and he still made music. But don’t you think it’ll be much nicer if you could appreciate your own work? Wa kakakakaka!!!!!
And Eugene and Jia min, I wish you all the best together. Must steady steady ah!!
And hor, Benson is like this dude whom I figured is actually damn steady. Like the way he study ah is like damn on one. You all know what I mean la. When he gets something right, he snaps his fingers and says something along the lines of yeah! Steady.
And I think that Adrian has really got what it takes to totally piah the kor chek. Lol!!!
And yeah, I regret that I didn’t get the opportunity to say bye to most of you guys. But we must look on the bright side. No tears were shed, no need for all the drama. My disappearance has been juxtaposed with Death by Stanley as I had noticed. When I ‘died’, no one had the chance to say bye. We all shared memories together and it is these memories that keep us alive. Even as I’m deprived of the opportunity to grow in experience with you all, I will always cherish the moments we shared.
Imran! We had the chance to do nonsense together for the last time before I flew off! HAHAHA!!!!! Must treasure the times we had spent together. And yes I still think that we should have won that s9 vs s8 soccer match. And yes I still think that Derek koo is a plain ass cheater. And yes I still think that S9, dagonet AND e01 ROCKS!!!
And for the others whom I had not got the chance to bond so closely with, thanks for just being around. =)
Must add that this essay was actually quite fun to write SIA. Hahahahaha!!!!! And hor, if you want me to visit your blog or friendster, please remove any streaming music or videos.
