8 years ago...

People go through so many changes in their life, some are good, some are bad; some are worthwhile remembering, some are best forgotten.

I have my fair share of those...but still nothing compares to those that we see in the TV everyday of the war and crime violence. We are blessed in so many ways.

Good vs Bad
Looking at my close friend's (Shafiyyah Dolly) blog prompted me to attempt a few notes on the real good times i had....

We were inseperable.
"Mana Dolly, Angela?" or "Aiks Dolly, Angela tak dak hari ni?". Now can you imagine? :) Well, we were quite popular at that time (aisehman...) together with another one of the stooges - Leila. But she was at that time closer to Zaliha, her other bestest friend.

The scene i cannot forget the most was Dolly's favourite "kemik china"..hahhahaahha, Dolly, between you and me, this is classic man!
There's another one involving the most educated primates of UM-7th college's monkey...do you know that they stare at you at night when you are sleeping? rather snatch a muffin rather than a Sunrise bread?(luxury lifestyle ok!!) Can't forget Leila's episode with it, it was sitting right at her window, and i was forced to bring in the penyapu to shoo it away (half asleep), and to think of Leila's face was a mixture of cemas-cum-blur....she can be very the blur! :)
And the endless nights of supper, EVERY NIGHT i might add. We actually had 2 places we liked best - downstairs indian stall (they serve the best Puree and i can't get anywhere nicer in KL now) and off-course our room. A heaven for Zaliha, she quoted- maggi mee and magazines!

There's also the time when one of the girls got heartbroken because of Love (sejak ditinggalkan...), and the stories we spun (ridiculous it may seem) just to make her laugh and feel better... And i am also thankful because i got to learn so many Malay ballads song since that day..hehehehe... Aku tak biasa..lalallaallaala..

Oh, and did i mention we actually have "buku hutang" between us? now this book is antique!!! we will write down all of the hutang-piutang between us in that special book. Kalau ada yang masih hutang tu (kalau tak banyak) halalkan jer la noh! What makes it even more special is what goes into that book - effortless song lyrics that described how we felt at that time. Hmm, come to think of it, where is that book now? Lut, ngan ko ke aku ar?

wah...so many many more stories to tell you.....

Remembered vs Forgotten
I fell in love for the first time - worthwhile remembering

We snuck in beer into our dorm room - worthwhile remembering :p

Nasi ayam on wednesday and nasi tomatos on Friday - worthwhile remembering

Pre-exam studying at the canteen - worthwhile remembering

Well, it's been 8 years now. All three of my girlfriends are married with a baby girl each, except for Zaliha....(malam ni pulun ce'embo ok..) - Aqila Elle and Darlene Latetia. cool names kan? i am still single and still enjoying my life..working like hell but i am proud of myself, but it does get lonely sometimes, especially when you are home alone. That is why i normally try not to go back home that early after work. I will lepak until it's time for bed, only then i head home. Sounds ridiculous but it's my life.

I can't wait to tell my kids some day of all this, but for now, i can only hope that all things goes well for my friends and their family.

Well, like they always say " Love the life you live and not live the life you love", and insya'llah, you will make it through.
