Amazing Friendship Takes Effort

This post is to pay tribute to the the person that I considered as my bestest friend in university and the title is from the acronym of his name. I first notice him was during orientation week. During a talk by the faculty's administators, he accidently raised up his hands when they asked students taking up Bachelor Science (Honours) Chemistry to raise up their hands. Then I approach him to ask him as I had been searching for my own coursemate for the pass few days but couldn't find any. But it was a disappointment.

First semester was about 'brotherhood' and he was one of the twelve. Since he goes back home every Friday after Calculus tutorial and only comes back on Monday morning, he seldom join most of the activities. He comes to my room once in a while but he came to play computer games with my room-mate and those nearby.

Second semester was about karaoke. The first outing was before Chinese New Year to Berjaya Times Square where we sang karaoke and went for dinner at Hartz Chicken Buffet. We reached hostel quite late at night because he stayed overnight as he have extra-curicular activities the next morning. The remaining Friday he will be definitely going back and come back to university the next day. But almost every Friday we went out together except during test period or we have something else to do. We attend different lectures although we were taking identical subjects. Most of the Tuesday I will wait for him to finish class as my class end 1 hour earlier and on Wednesday I will go with him to the library to online as he do not have broadband connection at home and wait for him to finish class before we head for dinner after that. Sometimes, we even chat till late night and the latest was till 3.30am and we have class at 8am the very next morning. Although we meet almost everyday, we still chat over MSN and even do video call. When I was down, I will go to him to tell what was in my mind. He was a good listener as he was interested in everything I said.

At the beginning of the third semester, I asked him to be my lab partner as all our schedule was suppose to be the same. We did one lab together and the very next day I was officially an engineering student. He knowed that I was about to change course but he did not rejected me as his lab partner. He was the one that I wanted to inform firstly about my change of course. He is the only one that said he hoped that I would not change course so that can study together.

Well all these are left behind as memories that would not fade away from my heart. The time we go out for lectures together, the time we were packed in the bus like sardines, the time where he was abit disappointed if I did not knock his door before leaving for lectures, the time we sit together in the bus, the time I stayed at his comfortable home before leaving for the Sarawak trip (although I have no accomodation problems and his aunty actually knowed my name by heart), the time we slept in the same room when we go on a vacations, the time we have our meals together and all those memories that have been engraved in my heart.

I hope that all these come from your heart as we treasure this valueble friendship. 4 months ago when we went on the trip you did not sit next to me but during the Malacca trip you were all the while sitting by my side. I want to take more pictures of you and us together so we can have topics to laugh at if we get the chance to bump again during our old age although I have the same expression all the time.

I might be a boring person to you as I don't watch most of the movie, I don't play most of the computer games on earth, I don't listen to and sing music of your choice but I am trying my best to dig more topics out to talk.

Next semester onwards we will not meet each other anymore for any classes or extra-curricular activities and you are no more staying in the hostel, I hope that you will somehow drive me out for a meal or so. Hopefully if I ask you out during the semester break you will come out with me not like the semester break after the second semester where I was bored till death at home.

Wishing you all the best in your studies as you will be graduating in 2 years time. Hope you will be successful during your working period and hope that we can become collegue one day. Do not forget to employ me if you form your own company.

My biggest regret was not being to work together with you during lab session.
