u smile i smile
January 15, 2011I received a call from overseas (I love you, Skype) at 6 am. One of my best friends was feeling down and it made me wish I could be there for her. I made her laugh, she made me laugh, and then it made me miss her. That induced me to go through old photos of university life and boy, we were as carefree as birds (can’t find a suitable word here).
Now almost all of us are facing the realities of the world and suddenly, we’re making decisions and stuff! I don’t think even one of us is ready. We’re stumbling through step by step, and although we’re not physically together, it feels good to be just a phone call away and go “Dude…we’re grown ups now…” and getting a long meaningful pause and receiving a “Dudeee….we are….” and then a mutual silence.
I miss London very much. But I realise the London I know and love isn’t really there anymore. It’s still awesome London, but a different kind of awesome now. What made London feel a huge part of me was Harrods the friends, the classes, the countless lunch and dinner dates, the tears, the laughter, the shivering, the sweat. Now everyone is dispersed and only a few of us are still there.
Life goes on and we can’t swim against the river flow, but it feels good to look at old pictures and just have a big grin.
Do you guys ever miss your university life?
Yes – a lot…. Those were the carefree days… But I guess we have to grow up at sometime. Cherising the memory n keep in contact with those u love
A resounding yes. and the worse thing is it never goes away….at all even after 3 years coming back.
But as you said, it’s not the same without your friends.
vivy, is that u in the last picture? looks different 😀
big YES! old photos ….urghhh T_T and reminiscing some friends, gone from where we come from, God.
u dont need countless friends,just a few. those photo,theyre just the same thing we girls do. aishhhh
I miss all memories when i was studying last 6 months ago.
I miss my besties, my room, and also cafe at uni =)
Pstttt…u looks chubby at the last pic hehehe. But its ok what =D Chomellllll.
I’m still in my uni life =S
Love always. 🙂 <3 sorry for waking you up (err think it was me – unless you know more people who calling you on Skype at 6am to be emo/crazy LOL)
I MISS YOU. London(when I do go) really isn’t the same. 🙁
Please ask your designers/business partners to make bigger clothes, thanks. <3 <3 <3 Love you. x
Vivy u look so pretty at the last pic… yeah always miss university life… 😀
I’m still in University at the moment and I hope it never ends! I’m deathly afraid of having to grow up and shoulder a bunch of responsibilities that I can’t keep up with! Ahhh…
looking at the pics, I can tell how small u are. you’re so tiny. 0.0
so much!!!! i still can’t get over it!!
I MISS YOU!!!!! London really isn’t the same without you here… the weather never seemed this gloomy 🙁
yes very much! btw, i missed reading about opah. hope she’s in a good shape 🙂
you’re sooo cute…life makes we more matured babe, so when there is up and down, it will makes you a better person…have a nice day
oh yes dear….i really miss London….I arrived for the 1st time to do my A-Levels – one day after Princess Diana’s funeral. I left the UK for good on the day Tun Dr Mahathir resigned as Prime Minister (I saw the news in the express train from Paddington to Heathrow).
I was in London during the Earl of Wessex’s wedding, when HM the Queen celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary, her reign’s Golden Jubilee, and not to forget another 2 royal funerals of Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother.
I celebrated 7 Hari Raya Aidil Fitris in London and 5 Hari Raya Hajis (the other two Raya Hajis were in 1999 and 2001 which I celebrated in Leicester and Canterbury respectively).
I know how it feels when you are there but your friends are not there! Imagine, you thought you wanted to celebrate Eid with your friends at Malaysia Hall. But it turned out to be – most of the people there are juniors and you hardly know them. I recall my last Raya in London that I stayed in one corner with only 3 friends! Rozimi (my UKEC mentor), Dr Kamarul Hisham (then doing medic in Dundee) and the late Pak Syed (The Yoda of Malaysia Hall). I remember Dr Kamarul said – “Megat, kita ni dah tua! Orang dah tak kenal kita dah…”
I will surely do miss my university life after this. 1 weeks half more to go then I’m not longer a university student. I’ll do my internship after this. But I already start missing my university life. :'(
