Mat Tidor & Mr Earthworm
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall." -Confucius
There will be many times in life when everything around you seems so wrong and messed. The time you would feel utterly hopeless and useless. The time when nothing seems right and everything you do just backfire. And when it hits you, you suddenly lose all the confidence and strength you have, making you feel so weak, lost and vulnerable. And at the very first instinct, you run and hide away from everyone and anyone. Not because you don’t want to meet or hang out with them anymore. Not because you don’t wish to have anything to do with them anymore. Not because you don’t care about them anymore. But because, all you need is that some time and space to be away from everything and anything to sort your life back into pieces.
Yesterday’s outing left me in a nostalgic state. It’s been a year since we all left school. I remembered stepping in the polytechnic for the very first time, all ready and excited to make many new friends and embark on a new journey of life. I thought it would be what I had always envisioned polytechnic life to be but sadly, I only remembered year one as a lonely one with very few friends by my side. I remembered how I devoted my entire time and effort into studies and I didn’t even dare to hope or expect anything to change for the remaining years. I was resigned to fate that nothing interesting or exciting could probably happen. I was indeed wrong because things took a turn for the better in year 2. I met a bunch of amazing, crazy, fun, loving and friendly girlfriends. Being extremely friendly people, my social circle expanded all thanks to them. I only remembered year 2 passing so fast that before I knew, I was already in the last semester of my 3rd year. If I was asked to describe that last semester, I would definitely say it was indeed the best and memorable moment of my poly life. Despite all the crazy workload, the heavy responsibilities of the final year project and the tremendous amount of pressure I was facing, year 3 have been one of the best moments in my life. It was the semester that I saw so much love in the air. I witnessed how everyone came together as one, putting aside their differences and helped each other out. I witnessed the bonds of many that were forged before got tighter as the days passed.
It’s amazing how far our friendship have come. And although it has been a year, at times I still suffer from withdrawal symptoms. I definitely miss getting prepared to go to school. I miss attending tutorials, lectures and labs. I miss the school environment. I miss the school canteen. I miss eating in school. I miss staying in school till late to rush for projects. I miss going bonkers over projects. I miss breaking down. I miss stressing out. I miss mugging for exams. I miss all those library sessions for exams. I miss all those shit and crappy talks. I miss all those tea breaks we have. I miss people asking me for my notes. I miss lending people my notes. I miss reminding people to keep my notes in the perfect condition. I miss scolding people for bending my notes. I miss going after people for my notes. I miss pulling pranks on my friends. I miss all my friends. I miss Chongpoh. And most importantly, I miss everything about school. I started poly hating it a bit but I ended it loving it more than I could ever imagine I could. It couldn’t have been possible without the support and love from the amazing group of friends I have. =)
And among the group of amazing friends I met throughout my poly days, there are two people I would love to mention. Two people whom I respect and love. Two people who are special in a lot of ways and have made a special impact in my life. Two people whose special day falls yesterday. The first commonly known as Mat Tidor by my group of girlfriends; simply because we always catch him sleeping in lectures and the second as Mr Earthworm for the drawing he drew when we were given that assignment in SNSC class. My friendship with them has come a long way and I treasure them with all my heart. They both have been great buddies and like a brother to me. I sincerely wish them both lots of happiness and all the best for the future endeavors. Tkc always. Happy 22nd!!
