It's all over...

Well people do forgive me for shamefully neglecting to update my blog recently. To all my classmates you guys should know how busy I've been. Life has been craaaaazy hectic for the past couple of weeks. But crazily, uni had never been so fun :) Anyway, I'm sorry people (namely Michelle), I know I'm supposed to update on drama and stuff but I had no pictures and stuff. No way I'm updating about that without pictures *sigh*. I know...I'm frustrated with myself too.


Anyway, I believe life had been going reasonably well for us all at uni. Except for the me and Michelle emo-ing about leaving part. Man, this is gonna be totally harder than I thought. I can't believe its all over. Just like that. Just like that one entire year has come and gone, leaving us wondering in disbelief how the hell one year just flew by. Time really flies when you're having fun. Which is why the past couple of weeks passed by relentlessly. I was praying and hoping that time would slow down a little...just a little. But time, as we all know, simply wouldn't listen to me.




Just recently I was comparing how we all were in our first semester compared to how we are now. The difference is just laughable. I never would have imagined myself where I am right now. And just thinking about it got me emo-ing again. I mean would anyone have foreseen me and Michelle getting to know the guys better and enjoying their company not only when they're in a big noisy group but also personally? Who knew that I would develop such an unexplainable attachment to Nevin and Thibash? How would I have guessed that Dannis and Thinesh(Mama) were such hilariously entertaining people? Who knew that CK wasn't so scary after all?




Anyway, I shall not infect everyone with my emo-ness. That is for me and Michelle to reflect together hehe. Let me tell you guys about the last few weeks of classes.


Comedy Central at PA 005


Well I think that Saturday was just about the most hilarious time I've had in uni. And yes it WAS a Saturday. But we urgently had to get a lot of stuff done. Namely, practicing our drama and for Michelle's group, finishing their props. We were at uni almost the whole day and somehow we were always busy. But I really did have fun la. We practically made the place like our house. All took off our shoes and walking around with our pants rolled up, even the guys. And that is totally rare by the way. Anyway, I have LOADS of pictures that show us as the crazy people that we are hehe.





















Drama Day


Just the day before, I stayed back the longest I ever had in uni. I was watching Michelle's group practicing and we only left at 8pm. I know, we're crazy people. But it was hilarious to watch. Michelle was being a blondie queen and Dannis was being super funny with Aaron in their 'scene', and at one point CK shocked the crap out of me and Michelle by banging the door n getting on the floor during his emo scene hehe. Then we went for dinner. Or rather, Aaron, Gabe and CK were eating while me and Michelle watched. We did have fun though, the guys were being hilarious as always. Then when we were walking to the van me and Michelle like idiots were hiding from the guys. We thought they would just walk ahead as usual and not notice. So just imagine our surprise when we were still out of sight that we saw them looking for us hehe. We were so touched and felt totally silly at the same time. Oh and before we reached the van Aaron somehow managed to convince us that there was a dog behind us which obviously led to some screaming and running around. But turns out (I'm sorry Aaron I just have to say it :D) after that we saw a rat and Aaron was the one hopping about and getting his legs up when we said it hehe. That was the highlight of the day I think :) :) :)
Well we were obviously super busy the next day. Gosh, the amount of messages and calls going back and forth...it was a miracle we managed to hang on to what little credit we had left that day. Anyway it was great fun today. Even with all the tension and the rushing about and all, me and the girls were kinda sad that drama was over. Anyway, here's the video of Michelle's group.





We found out the next day that they were chosen to move on to the semi finals of the drama competition *applause* :D Better them than us hehe.


That Saturday was the semi finals of the drama competition. It meant staying back late for their group to practice n stuff. I remember mom getting on my case for staying late like every single day but well I gotta say it was all well worth it. I had loadsa fun :) That Saturday was a better performance than during our chaotic English class. They really did well and no surprise, were chosen for the finals!! *bigger applause* It seemed that theirs was the most entertaining drama of all. I had no doubt of it. I mean they're like totally famous for being total clowns right? Especially Aaron and Gabe. Sadly this I don't have pictures of.


Anyway the following Wednesday was the finals of the drama competition. Seeing as the bar list was out the previous week, (And shockingly, none of the guys got barred!! We were happy about it la obviously, but shocked hehe) we were missing classes like crazy already. Anyway we missed class just about the whole day. I think everyone was supposed to be there at 10 which was very ambitious. But anyway, with credit to them, by 11 everyone except CK was there. Speaking of CK I think he got there just in time to get the props and go over to PB to start getting ready. So much for getting there at 10, huh? hehe Well on the whole I think everything went really well. Our group was last. Michelle had a theory about that. She said that since the organisers knew she was gonna make a mess blessing the villagers with her pieces of paper, they decided to put off the mess til the last group. Gotta admit it made sense hehe. Anyway, the first group's drama was really cool. It was TD14 and the most memorable part had to be Ganesan's policeman part. Gosh it was hilarious!! And then with the music all some more..man we were practically rolling on the floor laughing. Well other than them the other dramas didn't do much for me. I was mostly just hanging around talking to CK and being nervous for Michelle. Even she wasn't nervous hehe. Well pretty soon it was time for the drama. I think on the whole everything went really well. Except I have to admit I didn't do my part very well :S The projector cable was loose and I kept making their background disappear. Hopefully the audience was too entranced by Dannis aka Creamy Pie to notice hehe. Shu has the entire video of it which I hope she uploads somewhere. It's one of those memories in foundation which I never wanna forget :)
















Well after that Benson and Daniel were performing while the judges deliberated and OMG we were all completely shocked at Daniel's voice. He reeeeeeally has a very nice voice. Very sexy. And this is not just me all right, all the girls said so too :) Benson did well too but everyone was just under Daniel's spell hehe.


After the performance was when all the suspense kicked in. Unfortunately, the moment of suspense disappointed us. Ganesan's group, who we thought did really really well, got last place :S That shocked us to pieces. It was nail biting after that. But we were glad when we heard that Robbin Oops won second prize!!! *biggest applause* We were a little disappointed obviously but hey, second prize is great.
We were made to clean up after our mess after that hehe. Or rather, the guys cleaned up the mess while we watched and I took photos :)









The most memorable moment of course, was when Miss Malar called Nevin blind and slow hehe. We still tease him about it. After that we supposedly went for a celebratory dinner at the mamak. It went on longer than expected what with all the gambling and stuff going on. But we had fun and eventually left. It was Shu's first time sitting in front in the van. We were all the subjects of her camcorder the whole day and her last recording was in the van, fittingly. Hmm....I wonder if I can get my hands on those videos. Anyway, that is the topic for another day. So after giving CK iron clad instructions to get Shu our darling home safely me and Michelle left with Nevin to Asia Jaya :D


Last Day (sob sob)


We went for our last English tutorial with Miss Sharmila. This in itself was shocking cause we hadn't attended class in a while. It wasn’t that great but I guess we didn’t mind cause it was the last class we planned to attend. I guess it was quite fitting though. It’s the only subject we actually like and willingly come to class for. Then after that we all went for breakfast at Tappers. It was me, Nevin, Thibash, Thiyaagoo, Aaron, Michelle, Gabe, Anna and Shu. We had a good time la as always. Can’t imagine ourselves with the other guys at Setapak being this close la. It’s just kinda unreal feeling like this. Just when we start getting close, we have to be separated. It’s really really sad. But anyway back to the story, we were just hanging around being lame the whole day la. There was nothing much going on. Michelle wanted to have a significant lunch at the cafeteria for the last time. I on the other hand tasted the mamak food for the last time. And we just ate alone in the cafeteria, no big fuss. For a while after lunch, Michelle, Shu and me regrouped to hang around for the last time there. We were just sitting around and talking la til Shu left with Nicholas. Then it was just me and Michelle. So everything was going pretty normally for a last day thing.




After that Michelle went missing to the library so I was alone for a while. Then CK was sitting with me right up til the guys left for their drinking celebration hehe. Surprisingly, or shockingly rather, he invited me to come along. But Nevin was soooooo scared of me being there. He probably already planned to steal everyone's beer la hmmmmm..... So I got worried eventually cause Nevin was soooooo scared for me. I was already at the bus stop waiting for a bus then CK's message came. So by some twist of fate and very little persuasion on his part, I ended up waiting AN HOUR (Which is apparently his version of one minute. God forbid I should ever find out what 5 minutes means :S) for him to come get me. It seems Nevin didn't believe I was still there and got a minor shock when he saw me walking to the van hehe. So CK, Nevin, Kuben, Nanthinee and me ended up wasting a whole lot of time just sitting around and wasting time at the petrol station. Yup, we were totally out of control. Anyway as usual, we can always have a good time doing nothing somehow. I was very sad to leave, it would have just made everything seem so final. But I did leave eventually. Gotta admit, that had to be the best last day of the semester hehe. Except for the one hour wait :)
