It’s ironic how human beings feel or do things.. we never seem to appreciate what’s in front of us till it’s too late.. be it things or person. When I say this, I say it based on what I experience and see around me.. For me, I say this for I have left college.. When I left Sunway during July, that sense of lost was never felt.. I left college smiling, happy to go home.. for one reason.. I knew I was going back to college again in August. August came and I when back to Sunway. This time, when I left, I when with tears.. as I sat in the cab, I looked back and I didn’t see the sad faces of my frens who were there to send me off.. but what I saw was a flashback of memories I experienced in Sunway..
I remember coming to Sunway being all scared and alone.. I was very fortunate to have met very understanding and kind housemates, namely susan and Jessica.. During that time of homesickness, my housemates were there for me like my sisters.. and till today whenever I think back of that time there will always be a smile on my face.. College life was difficult at the beginning.. but soon I met frens and life moved on.. I used to tell myself that my frens in college would never be close to me like the ones I have back home.. but soon I find myself doubting that fact.. College life for outstation students like me has a very different meaning compared to the KL home students.. for them, they have not left home yet.. for us, we’re all on our own.. as a Chinese proverb goes, at home u depend on your parents, yet outside, u depend on frends.. tat is when frens play a very important role..
For me, I count myself extremely lucky.. I have been blessed with the bestest frens anyone could ever ask for when I was in college.. frens I know I would keep for life.. I have experienced soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much with my groups of frens in sunway.. I used to have a group who were always together during class hours, my classmates, yeong, pei yee, nadia, aiyee, poh gee.. to name a few closer ones.. Then I had a group of international frens.. ezy, wasif, ovi, shan, nish.. But most importantly, there was a group of frens that has always been there with me through thick and thin back then, there were like a family to me.. this was my own gang there was cindy ( my roommate), Fenella, Jimmy, Adi, how how, the occasional Christina and also satya.. some of us don’t even like each other.. funny huh?? But we actually stayed as a group and went through so much.. we went through lots of laughter and also tears.. we doubted each other’s sincerity in our friendship and we fought.. but at the end of the day, we stayed as one..
No matter how many groups I had back in sunway.. I knew deep down in my heart I could depend and all of them when there was trouble.. they are the people I will always love and miss.. they were another family I never knew would exist besides my own.. There are sooooooo many things bout this frens I miss the most.. for instance, I actually miss waking up to seeing cindy ( she’s my roommate.. hahaha.. so don’t get the wrong impression.. :P ), fen coming up to my place to talk.. hehehhee.. poh gee’s extremely cute voice.. triple c always there to the rescue/help when u need him.. adi nagging me like a grandpa.. susan when she’s hyper.. jian wen and his tactics in the study room.. Darren trying to be serious but knows he cant be when we’re all studying together.. lina and geetha laughing and talking away.. going for movies with everyone.. my Sunday lunches with manda or eva.. going over to pei yee and euphrasia’s place.. going for a full shopping-day-spree thingy with pei yee and euphrasia during the weekends.. seeing yeong in class.. talking and gossiping away in law class with yeong, nadia, pei yee and ai yee.. playing tricks on one another.. having held lots of birthday surprises for frens in the condo.. my own birthday surprises and celebrations.. haihzz.. I really miss all those times.. all the times which shown me tat I had my very own ‘family’ in KL..
I am sad no doubt for what is in a way physically lost to me.. for not being able to see my frens.. but yet again.. I cherish the memories I have and will always remember with them.. here, I thank all of my frens for always being there for me.. I want u guys to know how much u all mean to me and always will.. really love and miss u guys lots.. I wish u all the very best in all future undertakings.. don’t be stopped by any bumps along the way.. life is filled with them.. but know one thing always, I will always be here for all of u.. Take care everyone.. missing u guys lots!!! Big hugz from me always, Ying.
