campus life

Last week my significant other and I were in Bangi. On our way back from Kajang we passed UKM. At the spur of the moment we decided to enter our old Uni...Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Wow..while the buildings stay true to its 'vintage' and weathered look, many new things sprouted. We didn't stop to take pics, just capturing some from inside the car.

Whoa.....i thought i never wanted to step into the keramat land again...but was I blown away by tides after tides of emotions. tears welled, speech choked and heavy chested...i was drawn into the old memories. how time flies...and i couldn't believe how far my faculty building from the front gate is because i used to walked from fac to the gate in 10 minutes flat. sekarang kalau di bayar pun aku tak nak..500m ada kut jauhnya! padan la dulu kuruih...ekekekekeke..

then the next day we went to Tronoh for my lil bro's convo. Here's the chap...looking good and happy.

He used to nearly expelled from UTP. After my parents intervention and with Allah's blessing he was only suspended for 3 semester. He learned his lesson the hard way. Pity my bro...for a while he was at lost. Someone even had the nerve to spread the news around and call him 'without future'. Now he has a job as an engineer (or engin-nyior as my dad call him), turns over new leaf and looking for a bright future ahead. As for the person who bad mouthed him..well, she is still job-hopping..hahahahaha!

Itu la...Hidup kat U ni bukan sekadar mengejar sekeping ijazah dengan CGPA melambung. Kalau kau excellent itu rezeki kau. Untuk mereka yang dah hampir tersungkur dan tersingkir, untuk grad saja dah cukup melegakan hati. Tapi pengalaman pahit tu cukup mengajar erti hidup. mengajar untuk kenal siapa lawan dan kawan, siapa kaca siapa permata. Air mata dan penat lelah tu tak terbayar dengan duit. Dan orang seperti adik aku tu akan menjadi lebih cemerlang dalam hidup daripada kengkawan dia yang kelas 1 sebab orang macam ni dah rasa sepak terajang untuk survive.

*sigh* I miss my Uni days. Kat situlah aku beljar menjadi dewasa. Kat situlah juga aku kenal dia... :)
