... everything's getting more intense/emotional/sentimental.
I'm talking about the class.. the classmates.
Everyone's getting emotional with the thought of leaving. Some of us will be leaving for good while the rests stay but the juniors will be joining us next year.
I don't know if its a good thing or bad thing. Right now, we're sucha small group. Despite the few problems and misunderstandings, we feel like a family. Next year, the larger group of juniors would be joining us and I don't know, it feels like they're not so connected. From the two subject I've taken with them this sem, they seem very segregated amongst themselves already. How is it gonna be next year, I wonder?
This is what
Michelle had to say about me, from the 10 months of knowing me.
to our leader: respect. that's one word of which i think people will always relate to you whenever they hear your name or see you. "maturity does not come with age, but with experience," those are one of the many things i learned from you. you have enlightened me in so many ways, i wish i could show you how much. in one word: POWER.
Firstly, I never really saw myself as a leader. I really dunno what made her think of me as a leader. But otherwise, its really sweet.
If you're reading this, well thank you Michelle. Its been a pleasure knowing you. I'm not just saying it, I actually mean it. We're not too close in college, but all that MSN Chats accounts to something right? It was nice.
Hope to see you next year. If not, well, we'll be missing out on an amazingly dedicated class rep, and an even more amazing friend. Good luck to you, in whatever you do. God bless.
Somehow, someway, I know I'll be seeing and being with the monkeys a lot. Somehow, this brief (or maybe permanent) absence does not worry me when it comes to them because I have a very strong feeling that we'll be seeing each other a lot. We're so lame, we can't live without each other's lameness. Love.
Mark, I have to mention you. You've been nothing but an AMAZING friend. I really don't know how to put you in words, I'm not that smart. But you my friend, surely are. For two semesters, we were in the same groups, and do you know why I always hunted you down? Because working with you has been nothing but a GREAT PLEASURE! You were and will always be my first pick because you are that amazing! I sincerely hope that someday soon, you will realize how special, amazing, and extraordinary you are! You are a GREAT friend, a friendship I will cherish always.
To the rest, I'm a lazy person, I'm too lazy to write about everyone, but let it be known that you guys are beyond amazing. I couldn't ask for better classmates. You folks have made my year a wonderful one, a year that will always put a smile on my face even just thinking about it.
Mucho love.
The lecturers, ah, I don't even know where to start!
All this while, its either I've hated my lecturers or my lecturers have hated me (or both).
(Of course, besides the single "The One Academy" lecturer I truly respect who deserves all the credit for my well-being in the Communication field, Ms Pinky Khoo.
Ms Pinky taught me a GREAT load of professionalism. The rights and wrongs in professional communication, in self-presentation, in approaching the public, in public relation.. and most importantly, she pointed me in this direction, and i'm grateful for that.)
Anyway, in Taylor's, all the lecturers have been wonderful. Every single one. Lets start from the top.
MsT - LOLZ, I don't even have to say a thing. She's THAT awesome. My fellow Sri Lankan lecturer buddy. The COOLEST of all the lecturers i've learned under (in Taylor's or otherwise).
Mr Edward Sim- Sucha a sweet guy!.. who boosted my IT knowledge. Thanks to him, I now SOUND smart when I speak about IT related stuff.
Dr Vijaya Shankar- My brilliant English lecturer. Sure we didn't see eye to eye in certain things but the knowledge she has given me, I totally appreciate.
Ms Thaera Yousef - Hahahaha...! Yes, hahaha. She's my favourite-est lecturer in the whole of Taylor's. Why? Because she amuses me THAT much. I don't easily get amused by people but she is one wah-ing person. The amount of knowledge she possess and generously shares + the down-to-earth-ness + the poise + the lame jokes (that suits my lameness) + the discipline (when it comes to assignments & exams, work is WORK) + everything else she is = Simitha is amused = She's marvelous!
She has profoundly inspired me. RESPECT. SALUT'.
Ms Thaera is -thisclose- to Ms Pinky who is -thisclose- to my heart. These two educators will have my respect till the end of time.
Ms Mary Morais - The most lenient and accommodating lecturer I've learned under thus far. A naturally warm person who truly cares for you as a person and not just as a student. The world needs more compassionate people like Ms Mary.
Ms Natasha Hishammudin - At first, I did not appreciate her high standards in video production because she was actually teaching us Malaysian Media History. But right now, I'm VERY GRATEFUL to her for that. If it wasn't for her unattainably high standards of weekly video production, I would have still been a ZERO in videography. If it wasn't for her, I would not have the knowledge I now have on both, the Malaysian media and videography. Her wise method that combined both has given me a two for one knowledge and I being a knowledge hungry person lately, am very grateful for that.
Mr Phillip - My cracked up Economics and Psychology lecturer. He is tooooo AWESOME for an ECONS lecturer. He understands our minds, and feeds the knowledge in accordingly. With all his stand-up comedy lectures and tutorials... God... he's too good la! Its hard to explain. You gotta be in the "moment". And the best part about him, he ALWAYS welcomes and entertains our doubts be it about his lectures, about life or literally anything else!
Mr Zaim Azizi - I don't know him too well but from being part of his big lectures, I can see that he understands the ordeal of being a student. He helps us A LOT and I've enjoyed learning under him. I know, most didn't enjoy his subject and barely listened while he taught, but I for sure did and genuinely enjoyed it because it was a window to a variety of religions, races, and its norms.
.............
To my close buddies who are now all around the world - I believe that now you idiots can see why I enjoy going to college sooo much... and it is not because I've become a nerd! Well maybe a littel nerdy la, since I'm speaking so passionately about my lecturers... and Branava, I bet the "MEGA-LAME" sign is flashing in your head right now, but too bad la ok! I truly enjoyed this year, this course, and I don't care if that makes me lame, cuz I'm happy... >)
.............
In total, I'm glad that I enrolled in this course. I've truly enjoyed and I've realized a lot about myself. A few of the realizations are that 'I'm not stupid', 'I can do what I want if I set my mind to it', and most importantly, I realized that 'I am SUPERWOMAN'. Hahahah! Thank you Alicia Keys! :P
I have one wish, which I know can't come true. But who cares, I have the right to wish.
I wish that Daddy was here to see that his daughter has finally seen the light from the God of Books. He was always greatly worried about my studies since I always brought home the colour red, but if only he was here right now, I could finally make him feel at ease and genuinely say to him "Don't worry Appu, I'm going to be fine".
But well, too bad. You're not physically here to see all this, but I'm sure you are seeing all this already. I hope you are finally at ease. I know HOW WORRIED you were about me, with all the rubbish I was doing. Sorry about that yea, Daddy. Never meant to worry you that much. I was just having a lil fun, ya'know.. like Cindy Lauper... Girls, they just wanna have fun! :P
You of all people should know the antics of a youngster... teehheee.. like father, like daughter.
Love you. Miss you. Respect you.

Ok, so thats it for my emo post.
I'm gonna have lunch, have "dessert", then hit the books like the nerdy little veteran rebel I am. You people take care now.
Loves.
Good day babies!
and she sure got some giggles and laughs. 
Ahal's becoming a poser, picking up after Branavan.
