Okay, let us see if there were any differences to any of the above, three months ago.... [apart from the date and day...]
It was 8.14 in the morning.
Date : 30th October 2007.
Day: Tuesday
Place: 504 a.k.a. Urayville
Activity: Finishing my physics Paper 1 Negeri Kedah... or maybe.. Discussing add maths with Haziq... or.. Fighting with 'Pak Aji' over a chemistry question...
Yeah, there was a major difference. Looking back, I used to complain about the burdening worksheets and handouts from various states we received almost everyday. [Luckily for me, the teacher didn't check if we were doing it or not, whoooho, which means I can skip a few of those trial papers.... I just did the ones that I like, mainly Physics Paper One, and Physics Paper One and Physics Paper One....]
But, I guess it's a blessing in disguise from Allah, I have these wonderful classmates and roommates that always finishes their trial papers within three days of getting them. Leading the 'Budak Rajin' team was Aizat. Why? Because he never takes a rest from studying... And I mean never!! I can tell that he burned the midnight oil every night because his eyes would look puffy every morning. And it was scary to see him studying in the class...
He would be holding his book, pencil or whatever very tightly, looking sooo deeply into the papers he was completing, and with a loud mp3 sticking out of his two ears. It was like as though he was in a trance or hypnotized.. And if he didn't understand something, he would go straight to his buddies or the teachers without a moment to lose..
One thing I will always remember about this KL-guy would be the time when he accompanied me during my Physics XYC session with my mentees. I couldn't thank him more for helping me explaining simple things about Physics. You know, sometimes you can get this fidgety feeling when conducting an XYC session.... and even the simplest of physics seemed SO hard to explain.. He was, is and will be my best guy-friend [not 'boyfriend' aahh, this guy got 'girlfriend' already.... aiya, I missed my chance again...][Oi, just kidding you know!!] =) I hope to see him again in a few years time, as an extraordinary aerospace engineer... I am confident you're gonna succeed my big bro!
The winner for the Most Rajin Girl of Urayville was very hard to determine because all of the girls were soooo rajin... Not just studying, but the whole meaning of rajin itself. They were rajin to iron their baju kurung [ I just wear them directly from the ampaian, I mean, who cares, right? It's not as though I have a boyfriend or somebody special..., but I definitely ironed my baju sekolah laa.. ], they were rajin to write notes,[Aina especially, and her notes were fabulous and colourful!] plus they were rajin to give me a treat, hehehehe... Thanks you guys, I mean girls..
But, I think the most rajin girl would be Aereena. Simply because she took 11 subjects... Accountancy and EST plus the basic nine subjects.. Can you imagine her taking Biology for two long and tiring years, only to realise her dream of becoming an accountant when she was in form five? Huh, I can't. Now, she is doing her Diploma In Accountancy in UiTM. Good Luck my friend... I'm sure the knowledge in Biology that you gained for that two years won't be a waste, right?
One thing unique about Aereena is that, she has this sweet kind of smile that would melt anyone's heart.. Seeing her smile would always brighten up my day. And I mean day only, because.... She would sleep early every night. Whenever I'm paying a visit to her room,[I'm not sure if it's TL5 or TL6..], looking for something to eat,[yeah, she always have something good to offer..], after lights-off, I would have turn back because she had dozed off into the wonderlands.... [sigh...]
However, I would never return home [ I mean my TL14 laa...], empty-handed or maybe empty-brained to be exact, as I would always spend some time looking at her notes-filled wall. Her colourful notes were neatly arranged, ranging from the Electrochemical Series to the Physics terminology [as Physics XYC, I'm soooo proud!] and some Bio stuff. I can really see her determination and strength in grabbing every bit of information and knowledge worth knowing, and I can't wait to see her in her office, managing her successful and ever-expanding accounting firm..
Okay, so you see, these two persons have made positive impact in my life. To be honest with you, they were the reasons I was doing my homework, [ not to say that I didn't do it Lillahitaala ], but their desire to study keeps burning my spirit to study too.. No words can describe my gratitude to Allah for giving me the chance to know these great and inspiring people and a lot more... I will tell you their tales in my other posts... Maybe I will tell a story about you? Who knows? Even I don't...
