Sometimes After

I thought the play was my memorable experience and my special moment to treasure but… turn out it was after the play… one sweet moment

A glimpse of happiness was on everyone’s face, now that the play was over, it lifted a big burden off everyone’s shoulder. Everyone worked their butt off for the staging of the play, months of preparation and practice, finally we did it. When everything went as expected, we can’t help but to celebrate it with smiles on our face.
Dressed up in my Lorenzo costume, I walked to the piano, I sat by Hayat who was playing the piano, serenading everyone there including myself. It was a quaint piano who knows how old it was or how long it had been there, but it worked well despite ages existed.

I sat beside her as quietly as I can, not a single word was uttered, not by neither of us. She was too engrossed in playing the piano, I could see her face enlightened in a different way every time she touched the piano. Hayat is different than the other pianist I’d known, she didn’t know how to read notes, but she listened well, well enough until she was able to play the piano only by listening.

I sat there, serenaded by her. Looking aimlessly, I was—no, everyone was tired including me. I was exhausted and my mind went completely blank after that. All that I could listen to was this sensational sound of piano in front of me. The soothing sounds wipe out the exhausted look on my face and it cleared out my mind.

Sometime after that, consciousness came in a small light flashes: that was when I realized she had stopped playing. I look at her, she smiled and I smiled back at her. That was when Intan who was just finished changing from her costumes to t-shirt came and sat beside both of us. I could see that, she too was impressed with Hayat.

Yat…play some familiar song for me…

A song that I would least expect anyone to play for me, one song that I had been addicted to for months and I knew she knew I like the song, I didn’t knew she could play the song though. It was Please Don’t Stop the Rain by James Morrison. Everyone who knew me well knew how much I am crazy for James Morrison. For some it might be just another ordinary song that you listened to over and over again. You may think it was just another song that you got addicted to and then you get crazy over it and for sometime later you forget about it. No… not for me and a lot of thing happened these past few days and this moment, It was like…MAGIC…the mood, the sound, everything was just perfect, perfect enough for me to cherish… I don’t know how to explain but I just know I like it.

Thanks Hayat.

A Piece of My Mind

Last night I told my roommate that I am very happy with all of my classmates. When I first came into the class, I describe myself as being ‘STUCKED’ with this bunch of crazy people. After spending almost three semesters with them, I can now replace the word ‘STUCKED’ with ‘TOGETHER’. We had our differences, we our differences and we had faced our differences. Being with this 24 people from different backgrounds and different world, at times I can’t help but to laugh at each and every single one of them for having this too many personalities.

Today, our class organized a birthday party. I was just SO EXCITED about this party, I even bought a microphone and poppers just to make sure that this party went as planned. UNFORTURENATELY, things didn’t go as I’d panned it would be. It went superbly.

Lots of impromptu events that happened, candid moments to remember and most importantly stomach full of cakes and KFC, lastly bunch of ROCKSTAR WANNABES that think they can sing.

As claimed by my classmate Iylia, “good food+great music+nice moves+happy faces+laughing out loud+screaming your lungs out = one happy family…”

At the end of the party, we stayed for a bit longer and turn the party into despair…sang our heart out with miserably depressed songs…emo moment there! But those are just the IRONY of us!

Turning all those emo songs into fun and joyful song…just one of my many talents…hahaha

Hope we can keep this up till we are TOGETHER in… you know where…

I Am There

We had a Raya celebration in the campus today, no class, no lecturers, couldn’t have been better. They whole class has been excited about it for months. We chose to be in the same color, green to be exact, so I had to follow them, even by wearing my last year baju melayu since mine was orange. I don’t mind at all, at least everyone will look picture perfect with matching color.

I was a bit tired, yesterday was hectic. All sort of thing happened at once. Today I woke very early, went down to HEP to take the register. Also to the car park, nobody was there except Sanak, Mimi and Akmar. We waited for the others to come. Looking all glamorous, they walk into the car park (where we had our raya celebration) only to know they had to count, divide and give sate to everyone else. We were laboring ourselves all day.

I was not feeling well, I didn’t show it though. It’s nice to know that Afiq noticed it, Afiq was with me since last night, since his roommate was not here, he hang out in my room. He said he only left my room somewhere around 4 last night. He said I couldn’t sleep well, but I didn’t realize it. He said I even woke up a lot, but my roommate was sleeping soundlessly. I didn’t realize I was doing that while sleeping. Maybe I was just too tired.

Everything turned out to be great today, the celebration was a blast. Everyone was happy, since we were all in the same color; pictures were awfully taken a lot. It’s nice to see everyone taking pictures with friends, smiling, laughing and joking around, every single one of us were happy. I too help to take pictures of others. After the class picture was taken, everyone gone berserk, they can’t stop snapping pictures among them. Everyone was happy including my good friends, all engrossed in taking pictures. Funny how my own phone was filled with their pictures instead of my own. On such a happy day, all of my good friends were happy, everyone was smiling and laughing, having fun. But they forgot me.
