Exam finished, meaning holidays started, often along with boredom only to overcome it by searching a temporary job. This semester break will be a different one. A trip to Genting? Genting is the place again, I know its AGAIN.But it is different because I am going with my my group of friends I met since semester two. You can imagine how destined it was for us to meet under the new implemented flexi-timetable system. Yea, we arranged it, but before that I did not even know who are my would-be classmates.Below are the blow-to-blow line-up about the happenings these few semesters.
Was scheduled to join TA27 in the first semester. Everything was new to me. Did not went for orientation, so ended up searching for lecture and tutorial classes in block A.
Classmates were total strangers to me when I eventually found the actual lecture and tutorial class the next day with the help from the guards. First lecture I attended was maths, where two girls dressed ostentatiously came in few minutes after me. One was Yen Wei, cladding in a cardigan, bottomed a mini skirt with a symbolic LV bag on her hand. Another was Siew Hui, dressed almost similarly. The first question in my mind was 'Are they coming here to study?'.
Got to mixed around with others during assignments and presentations where we were required to form our own group. Known each other better day-by-day. We were known as the TA27.
Semester one exam ended. New flexi-timetable system was implemented for the first time. For those who have totally no idea about it, it was a system that allows students to register the time and day for their respective subjects subject to availability.As it sounds, it works in first-come-first-serve basis. Decided to arrange the time consistent with what class rep's friends did. Who are them? - my first question.
Semester two started.Alex said he was impressed with me when sociology first class commenced and he said he wanted to know me. Somehow, we got to know each other because he is one of the friends under the same timetable schedule. Looking back, it was odd to notice that we did not talk much to each other and we were unusually quiet because we have not gotten to know each other well and all of us were hiding our true colours, each trying to impress another.
Presentations and assignments again were the barrier-breaker between us as we had the chance to communicate, what's more with the given topic of discussions. Things got crazy until end of semester two. A pleasant fact I found in us was, we inadvertently built acquaintances as we moved on. Needless to say, powerful and influential social network like Facebook made us connected, when third-degree friends gradually became mutual friends.
Finished semester two exam, semester three which was the short semester started. Our network grew stronger as we realised that we soon would be apart, each pursuing different degree, while some were leaving for other campuses and institutions. As you can see from Yen Wei's profile, tonnes of photos had been taken, a lot until Yen Wei had to create albums for every months.
It happened so fast, that I can vividly recalled them, as if it was only yesterday.For now, I'd finished semester three's exam and completed foundation studies. These moments would be a slow , monotonous and colourless without the presence of you all. You all taught me a lot of things that couldn't be learned from books, and I am thankful for that.
