end of chapter.

Dear people,

I am sorry I have been missing for quite a while. I didn't mean to, or maybe I did. Maybe just a little. But I've been so busy lately. So many things have been going on. So many things needed to get done, and everything was on a time limit. 

Around a month ago, we had our convocation. A day I never though would come. It was one of those moments where you stop for a second and think, I did it. I actually did it!, and you'd have to pinch your arm to believe it because it all feels like a dream. It's like it was only yesterday that we first came to this place. Like scared little rabbits we scurried on to class and did assignments together, stayed up all night, slept in in the mornings, messed around, had fun. Yes, we bickered sometimes, had 'misunderstandings' and conflicts, we made friends, we lost some, some of us fell in love, some fell out of it but I know, none of us would give any of those moments away if only because they were all that got us here. The ones that stayed, stayed, and the ones that left, well, then so be it. Those who have been here with me, and are still here, I hope we stay friends forever. No matter how long, or how far apart we are, we'd still be there for each other, right?

I admit, I am a little disappointed that I didn't do as well as I'd hoped for for my degree but I am not any less thankful for making it out alive I still managed to graduate with a pointer above 3.50 so yeah, I'm still happy! 

I was also very happy Mum and Abah made it for my convocation, even though Abah left the hall half-way through the event to eat laksa at one of the stalls -____-" Haha.. but there wasn't a prouder moment -not even when I went up on stage and collected the scroll- than when I went to see them when we got out of the hall and Mum handed me a bunch of flowers and Abah shook my hand and they both said, "tahniah". My heart swelled with pride. I couldn't have done any of it without them. Thank you Mum, Abah. Thank you so much:)


It really was an awesome day. It was touching that even Nana came so even though she didn't get to graduate with us, she was still there for us. InsyaAllah we'll be there for her convocation next year. And we're all gonna try our best to make it to her wedding in December. We wouldn't want miss it for the world! What completed the day was when Syafiq came, along with Jezz, so we got our very own professional photographer for free! It was really nice of them to come even though they were both sick and it was a cold and rainy day earlier that day but they came anyway. Thanks guys :)

Fast forward a month later, and I'm busy applying for my masters. I've decided to go for Applied Linguistics at UPM. Hopefully I'll get accepted. Last Monday we went back to campus to get our supervisors to fill in our referee forms. When I went to see my Term Paper supervisor, she pulled out my paper and explained to me why I got what I got. Because of a glitch in the calculation of the data, I had messed up the whole data analysis and the results all turned out wrong. It was disappointing. She said it was a shame because I started out really well and it was just because of the glitch in the numbers and we didn't have time to go over the results together so, well I guess it's okay. I did try my best. I know I did, and she knows it too, and I've finally gotten the closure I've been looking for about the results. I guess I'll have to redeem myself when and if I go for my masters then.


Well, that's all I have time for now guys. Will update you on everything else next time, ciao!
