A girl and a grand dinner

..::*+ My Talk +*::..

Talk 1:

If I ever said someone as perfect as God, I’m lying. But if I say someone much greater than a lot of people, I’m strongly agreed with that. Yes, she is really someone that I admire since yesterday. Guess who? There was once when I thought she was just another normal girl with charming smile and attractive voice. I thought she was nothing more than a smarty, childish and immature brain and as normal as a normal little girl. She’s just a normal person that I came across, I told myself. Oh yea, that was my opinion about her ever since I knew her.

But guess what? I’m totally wrong about her. She is, like Joash, another wonderful person. Oh how great can she be abnormal than a normal girl, you might ask. But honestly, she is the most matured girl that I ever meet within those who are same age as hers. I regret I never want to put in effort to know this little girl better. We went to Secret Recipe for supper that day. It’s not a supper actually; it was just a normal meet-up and had some drinks there while we talked to each other.

Well, the two hours talk changed my impression on her. By the way she talked to me, her respond, her thinking, made me have the enthusiasm to know her better, to keep on hearing about things that happened in her life. Imagine, she finished her lemon juice (I think!) two hours later after we reach there… she must have talked a lot right? Throughout the session she obviously talked a lot about herself than giving me the chance to boast about my past achievements. As we talked I realized that she is not as childish as she looks to be. Hey, honestly speaking, how many girls always help her mother for laundry washing or house-keeping? She is that unique person.

She was once a prefect, who later promoted to be the head girl. Her parents were both teachers, the very busy ones. Because of their works she was forced to be able to take care of herself and making wise decision to solve all the problems that she faces. Her father was the headmaster of her secondary school, but the “head girl” title was purely earned by her efforts and sacrifices. Because her father was the headmaster, she was once accused by others. She admitted she did cry, but she also did make the effort to solve the misunderstanding.

She talked about her philosophies of life. She talked about her relationship with someone that she loved. It was really a sad one, which was exactly as same as my ex-girlfriend last time, just that the one who ended it was not her father, but her herself. I knew her much better through this conversation. Well, I did too talked a bit about my frustrations about my broken relationship, and she was great to listen and gave me advices. The advices were almost as same as what Michelle gave me. I felt more assured about what I should do in the future. Thank you, Yie Ning.

I felt happy and grateful because what I gained that night was more than the MYR 17.80 of the drinks, although I was the one insisted to treat her meal, which in the end turned out to be just a normal drink treat. It was such a sad to think that that night might be our last time we meet each other. I doubt I will ever see her again. The only possibility is that I travel to India 2 years later. But still, I thank God because once again I was given an opportunity to know someone great!

Yie Ning, I wish u all the best in your future undertakings. You are great!

Talk 2:

My another last time. This time is something that I felt sadder over. Today I attended our ALG9 Graduation Dinner. I was stunned once and a while during the event and my friends kept asking me whether I’m alright or not. Recall back in the past, I remembered our super-senior, ALG7 students had their grand dinner at the same venue two years ago. And today standing here was us, the ALG9 students. Time waits for no man. How true it is. How fast it is either.

We arrived at Holiday Inn Glamerie about 2000 hours (GMT +8.00) and after registration we went in and took our seats. Soon after the seats were filled in came all the VVIPs. The event started by speech by the president of ALG11 and ALG9. Later on was speech by Dr. Andreas. I still remembered him clearly. A sweet encounter and also a embarrassing meet. But anyway, he, as usual, gave a lot of advices to us, so that we will not suffer severe culture shock when we arrive at Germany.

Well, lots of things happened. We had laughter, joy, fun, paiseh-ness, sadness, angriness… it was a mixture of feelings that shaped out this wonderful life in ALG. And oh yea, this is the last time I’m having such a moment here. Perhaps it is also the last time I saw the super juniors. So if you came across my blog, or something, I just wish you all will have a wonderful life in INTEC here. For 2 and ½ years. Words of advice? Mix more around, do more crazy stuffs (how I wish I did something, but actually, I did done some thing really crazy =P) but at the same time neglect not your studies. After all, studies should be given 1^st priority. Haha.

It was a wonderful night. Thinking back again makes my tears wanting to drop out from my big round eyes. ALG memories… there are surely a lot. And if you have followed my blog since the day when I started, you will know a lot about my memories – both the sad and happy ones. This fragment of memories will be preserved forever in my mind.

For the very first time, I don’t know how to describe the scene. It was just simply marvelous and speechless. No words can explain how I felt that night. It was a night of remembrance, a night full of meaning. Oh yea it’s true, I’ve graduated from INTEC!

I guess I’ll stop here as I can’t think of anything else to write. Told you, it was indescribable!

p/s: My ex looked gorgeous with her dress… =D
