Awkward.

During my years as a primary school student, I used to be the kind of kid who would shy away into the shadows. I wouldn't bother befriending new people and neither would anyone new bother befriending me. I had this small fear of boys, save for a few male friends who were pretty much on the same page as me. I had my hair tied into a tight ponytail and my face carved into this never-ending frown when my countable friends weren't around. In short; I wasn't the most sociable individual ever. Don't get me wrong. Yes, I had friends, (still friends with them them actually. :D) but I didn't exactly mix around with my peers. I was quiet in class; I didn't stand out - I was pretty much a geek.

And then things changed. I stepped into secondary school; a girls' secondary school. I learned to accept myself. I found out that it was much easier to be yourself in an all-female environment, 'cos there weren't any boys around for you to watch you act stupid or weird. I gained more confidence as the years flew by. I had more friends than I had in primary school. My schoolmates found me somewhat entertaining. What. -.- And at secondary school was where the Rempititas were formed, a mix of my old primary school friends and new secondary ones. Everyday, we would gather before school, during recess and after school if we were having our extra co-curriculur activities. I never knew I would meet any group of people as awesome as they were (and still are :3). The Munkeys were another group of friends I met at secondary school. Most of us were classmates, so we would pretty much spend every moment in class together. :) Yes, I met so many great people in secondary school.

The dreaded phase of our lives then opened out to us to bid us welcome - college/university. All of us were forced to separate and we were thrown to different parts of the country (some out of it). That's when I had come to a realisation - I would have to make new friends and get used to a new environment. The first few weeks were tough, with me chattering with a few of my old school friends in English and getting dirty looks from other students. Apparently, English-speakers are not accepted well in here. So, I changed the way I spoke. I guess you can say I became more Malay, if that's possible. Haha. My roommates were terrifying at first, but I got to know them better and we became as close as three peas in a pod. That's when I befriended a classmate who seemed to have a lot of things in common. We were joined by a few others, and we're still together, by the way; all six of us. I then became closer to five others. We pretty much do everything together. We join the same clubs; we have dinner together; we're in the same co-curriculur club ... yes, everything. My campus didn't turn out so bad after all. I made more friends; I crawled my way out of my comfort zone. I found out that it was not so scary to make new friends, hardeehar.

This post is nothing, really. I just wanted to convey how much I value all the friendships I have and have had with so many amazing, special people. Despite my awkwardness and my slowness in processing information, you guys are still friends with me. WHY? -.- HAHA.

Thank you for being my friends. :') ♥

K, bai.
