Empty Walls

I finished my exams last Saturday, alhamdulillah & now I am currently in the midst of packing/cleaning/clearing up my room. Actually, who am I kidding, my flight is in more than 48 hours, there's no need to pack now.. But yes, I am cleaning/clearing up my room, because if I leave my room in the state of its tongkang-pecah (ship wreck) state, Mummy will bite my head off, and we do not wanna angry the Mothership. Nope.

Anyways, took down the photos on my wall & I got a little bit sentimental. I mean, these photos were my companion at night. I occasionally talk to the photos too okay! & Now pooof, I'm back to my empty walls. So I decided to take a selfie!

And then I remembered that I have a picture almost like this too from my first year, in my then-empty room just a few hours before I make my way to London to hop on the flight back..

Excuse the eyebags, I did not sleep at all that night.. I packed up ALL my beddings in a box and you try sleeping on a literally bare bed..

Then I realise... I have A LOT of selfies in my room, and they resembled (well sort-of) my personal journey in Uni.

Photo on 11-11-2012 at 02.39 #4Toward the end of the year of 2012 was a tiring month for me. Not only was I busy with school assignment, I was also handling two big MASSOC events during this month.

Photo on 10-06-2014 at 01.412AM chitty chatter with Ashley Wong while cleaning up the sticky tack residues off my wall.. :)

So much has happened in the last 3 years. So much was lost (my weight) but many more were gained (experience,  knowledge, friends, skills). I feel like I grew so much more as a person in the last 3 years than I did in the previous 19 years of my life before coming here. Alhamdulillah Ya Allah, for giving me this opportunity.

But 3 years is enough, Malaysia, I'm coming home :)

p/s: Guys, I have not graduated yet. Therefore hold your congratulatory messages! Instead, upon reading this, please, pray for me and all my friends that we will pass all our papers & score really well and be able to honour our parents & all their efforts to get us here now by walking on the stage to receive our degree this July. Your prayers and well wishes really do mean a lot to me (& I'm sure my friends too). ♥
