Hipster's Inner Monologue...

Your Graduation....

To my dearest friends who are graduating in RPI this year... know this... the 4 years of your lives that you spent in RPI... are 4 years that you can never experience back, it will most probably even be the best part of your lives that you wont to experience it back oh so badly. sometimes, even the sucky ones, where you're stripped out of your best face, and just left in the dark alone, being depressed, with the person that you want to notice doesnt even care of your existence.... yes... weirdly enough... you would like at least to see that again... and learn from it. hanging out with great friends in outback, chilling together at their places, watching DVDs, playing games, smoking, flowin, listen to jazz, cook together, or just that sitting down together in a circle... mkaing a video, laughing our asses off together until god knows when will be the next session after that.... 3 months... 6 months... 1 year... 5 years? god knows....

but what you know... the friends that you've made in RPI, are the best group of actual friends you've made in your life... and the possibility of you hanging out with them... the way you guys did... will never return that way again. they get married, they grow older, or they just grew apart. but... that memory... will always be in that big corner of their heart, knowing that... you guys... your friends.... have made you a big part of a person you are going to be in the future.

as for me... i will always miss... the mcgiffs... watching TV in 303 mcgiff... with abe... eating pizza that's already 2 days old... and fera would be coming up knocking asking us what is our plan for the rest of the day... and sung would come out of his door, doing his smile, and talking about the new japanese songs that he downloaded while my head is thinking... what he really hopes to be japanese one day huh? then todi would come in barging through the door in his orange-t, saying... 'aaaah, weekends at last!!' since he was the only one at that time doing research shit. marien would come out from behind him in her cute face... just saying 'adiii... i penaaaaaat'. then wanzaw would suddenly come out from his room after downloading more games to play, and going down to open the door for sweet hanim to chill with us. then abe and i would then go down to fatah's... just to meet the monkey in front of his door, and listen to jazz.... not to mention waiting for ellias who god knows asleep somewhere probably where we were hanging out earlier, and didnt realize he was nicely cuddled on the floor of abe's room, or taroi's room... and we'd be looking for him just wondering if he would like to chill with the four of us as well... and saying... to bad... baem is not around.... he went back home already....

yes.... i miss it. i still do miss strangely enough... those times i spent late nites at the pizza place, getting tired, and insulting the mat salleh's in malay, while taroi gets pissed with every customer who kept staring at him making pizza. and after work... we'd pack so much drink that could last for one whole week. i'd then go to nawaal's place... seeing them all sitting down watching dvd... adilah would probably be asleep already... julie would sit down beside elle screaming out as they watch the cheesy horror movie i bought. then nawaal would tell me to go to the kitchen as they have some food leftover, while elle suddenly runs into her room coz the bf called. in the middle of the room... would be ija. laughing out her life... while i just smile and stare at her thinking how cute she looked. then i'd tell her its time to go home, and she'd pack up, helped the girls clean up... and both of us would carry out the trash that has already piled up after a week... hehehe.... mainly coz ija dah tak tahan tengok, and nawaal dok gelak jekk. id tell them see you guys tomorrow, probably going out for a movie or something like that. then... both of us would be in the car... and ija would tell me how was her day like, and i listened, and laughed, and call her names, and she'd do the same. id pass her the hot warm mushroom pizza with the lipton green tea with honey and sit down in her room watch tv rite after.

some of it i miss... some of it.. i wish i could see it again... and frankly... i didnt regret my life there in RPI for all the things i did, no matter if some of it probably made me sad, but... you will always know.... your buds... will always always be there.... i love you guys... mc giffs... and thompsons, taroi, pizza bella, barnes and nobles, denny's, johnny rockets, outback... and anyet.

graduates of 2006... congrats....
