2008 In Retrospect (Part 1)

Well, it was certainly a very interesting year. A lot of things happened, lot of things done, lot of things left unresolved. It’s difficult to slowly think about all that I had done in the past year, so I think I will write down those that I remember, for now

2008, my diploma for accounting studies was slowly approaching its end. Naturally, people only realize something is important to them they are going to lose them. That was happening to me. I never really liked Y2M37, I never really liked my classmates. And of course, wasted time playing cyber café instead of studying, and didn’t try to get to know other friends. My studies was going to end in May. And as we entered the second semester and the third semester of the final year, I slowly realized that I really like the class very much….

It’s like, everyone knew it’s going to end, and suddenly, the class got closer, and some friends who never talked before did in fact talk more (well, at least in my case). We even got the whole class out for a day out, eating steamboat, watching movie. That was a blast. Unfortunately, it was too late, and our diploma years just ended, it felt like it happened in an instant, without anyone notice…

So, flash forward to around April. Finished taking the final exams (surprisingly easy papers, especially for a guy like my standard), and I left the school gate. I knew then, it was the end. It would be very hard (in fact, near impossible) to get everyone back again, and everyone would forget each other soon enough. But still, I couldn’t shake off that feeling of loneliness, emptiness at that time.

Let’s fast forward a few weeks later, and we did our very first class gathering. We went to Batu Feringgi, rented an apartment room to have fun. As expected, we didn’t get anyone to attend…but at least some were coming. It was enjoyable; we had steamboat and movie again. At night, we actually planned to go for clubbing. It was a first for me, so I was pretty curious and frightened at the same time. However, things took a bit turn to the bad, and few of us had a quarrel. Well, that marked a rather bitter taste to our class gathering, but still, at the end, I was happy that we could get together again

And then, there was the convocation…Nice memory. Seeing everyone from school (Even those I didn’t know), and the lecturers/tutors. Wow, bring back all good times at school. And I was really proud when I was handed the cert, I got a CGPA of around 3.0, it was good, but not that good yet. But I was proud of myself, I worked really hard for it. And I knew my dad and mum were really happy, heck, even my grandfather cried when I showed him the pictures of my convocation. The only downside of the convocation was the fact that few of my classmates couldn’t get past few subjects and needed resit, sad that we couldn’t graduate together.

I felt asleep now, guess will continue another time….
