Remembrances II

In my first year in Monash, many things happen and some of it actually play a huge part in changing me into half of who I am now. I can say it might be good and can be bad. I didn't select the same group as my foundation friends so we have half the same time tabling and the other half not the same. I make new friends too at that time. I met this group of people from Taylors.

It was fun to know new people but I hang out often with my initial group. The only one who isn't in the same course was Guoy as he was the only one who went into Computer Science while the others are in Engineering. My time with Guoy was reduce to a lot as he mix with his course mates more. He also move from apartments to condo. So we spend less time going out.

What I remember most is going for trips with Dr Teoh ^_^ Bird park was memorable even when Senan kept saying I get bird shit =.= In the end I did get bird shit but not the bird shit on me but I accidentally touch on it without looking =.= I still spend a lot of time with Merlye ^_^ We always have our usual meal where it is tofu with rice or buns ^_^ At times, I would be at her place overnight too ^_^ Public holidays are normally at her place where in the next morning we would hit Petaling Street or Sungai Wang ^_^


During our mid semester break Merlye, Senan, Teng Teng and Rick came to visit me in Taiping. We had a lot of fun as we drove up to Penang for a one day trip visiting places ^_^ Then took them round Taiping and even to the waterfall area and pick pebbles. It was fun that time ^_^ Then end of the year there was another trip organize by Hau Wei to go Penang. That trip there was Guoy, Kevin, Ashley, Yi King and Chui Chui. We took 2 rooms in Batu Ferringi. It was a memorable trip too.

My first half of the year was good. Things start to change in the second half. I was a emotional person that time so I'm easily affected. Just when semester start, my grandmother left us. It was a hard time for me to cope. At the same time, my first crush just found a girlfriend. I didn't know what to do that time. But at the same time, I knew another guy and feel head over heels in love with him. He was a table tennis player and I started to concentrate fully in table tennis to reach his level. Besides that, I was among one of the few selected to be Monash Table Tennis Club pioneer commitee member. I was the club's secretary ^_^

In the end I manage to reach a level that people think I started playing since primary school. But it was 2 years later ^_^ I remember I was chasing him and was so blinded that I didn't realize that he and my best friend that time (the person I confine to about him too) was dating. I had friends telling me but I wave it off. I only found out about it the very next year. That would be told in the later post.

It was also at this time that Merlye told me that she is going to New Zealand to further her studies. I was sad as I can't follow. But somehow, we kept in touch till today ^_^ Nothing change between our friendship even as we change ^_^ She is among one of my best friends that keep me going and never let me feel low ^_^
