~Another day in an insane mind~

Last night, I was rummaging through all my cds I’ve burnt over the past 4 years in MMU trying to compile a worthwhile portfolio, viewing all the past projects, photos, events, etc… and I thought.. ~wow… I had a pretty darn good time.~ Althought MMU has a lot to improve in terms of its administration and stuff like that, I found that I cannot regret making the decision of jumping into that unknown environment headfirst nearly 5 years ago….

The thing that got to me most was the group projects that I use to HATE SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH…. all the collaborations, meetings, f***-ups, anxiety, stress and sleepless days (I don’t sleep at night anyway….)…. Don’t get me wrong, my groupmates are all fantastic, it was the work and the lecturers that I didn’t like. But looking at all that rubbish, I wouldn’t have traded the experience for anything in the world, despite some of the stuff still giving me nightmares, goosebumps, thicker glasses, white hair and a shortened lifespan (by several years~! I swear~!!). What I miss most is the cameradery I had with those groups which I didn’t experience during my pre- university schooling years. All those nights of biting nails and butting heads at our apartment (kenanga 6A 08-07), Alan driving his white little kancil around (scaring the rest of the people in the car), getting lost (was everywhere except where we wanted to be), all nighter slaving away, group lunches/dinner, Houykuen tapping away on the calculator (she’s the best person you’d want to hand all your cash to), Meor sketching away with pencil and paper, the rest of us sitting around making plans (me arguing about something or other), on location doing some other stuff togather, and most of all, the peels of laughter and teasing that was almost always present to makes things seem soooo much better that it really is. I really doubt this experience can be replicated, since there are no other friends than those who have stood by one another for 4 long years (3 years, for a few others) while helping one another in this venture into ‘adulthood’.

So for those people who have had group projects with me (you know who you all are) even just once, I’d really like to say a heartfelt thanks. Specially to those few who have constantly been a companion, groupmate, confidant and most of all, good friend.

~Jeez… I’m getting maudlin in my old age~!! hahahah~
